Watched Tega Abraham yesterday against Tottenham for a 19 year old his performance was astounding. Leading the attack for Swansea in the EPL he's definitely real quality.

I have watched him since he was 15/16 his level is just improving at a very fast upward spiral. Positional sense, anticipation and awareness, he now also has presence and lots of Shakara technical ability and yes he got some pace.

Amaju no time to waste call him now to eat Owo and starch before it is too late. I currently rate him more than Rashford, than Dembele he brings more to the table. He is also younger than all these guys.

Finger pointing will be a joke by fans and pundits (although I do not see this happening) because it is obvious the system is poor and thrash. History of the EPL points fingers to managers and not players.

When you are the most expensive striker they have bought and they gave put you down as the goal getter.

This is England and I can assure you if you are not running around like a headless chicken putting in a shift. You will be labelled lazy and in it for the £££.

Let's hope results start going thier way soon.

My problem with the current play of Leicester City is that they have the talents to play in a braver fashion but Shakespeare chose to keep playing in a timid fashion, thus inhibiting the qualities of his players. Let us see how things play out.

Unless amateur fans. Even Messi will be poor in a negative system. Football is not magic.

On the pitch yesterday the only two faces I could recognise were those of Onyinyechi Okeke and Rasheedat Ajibade. I didn't even know Mary Ologbosere was on the bench because they were far from my position.

The best 3 Nigerian players for the day were:

Rasheedat Ajibade: She played as a SS in the first half when we were looking for goals but later played as the lone striker when we went 3-0 up. Scored the 2nd and 3rd goal. Kept the Tanzanian defenders busy for 90mins. Excellent positional abilities with good ball sense.

Jersey number 17: That girl raped the Tanzanian full backs for good 90mins. She combined excellently well with Ajibade. And also had attempts at goal saved by the excellent Tanzanian goalie. She is the next big thing after Assisat Oshoala IMO. Folashade Ijamulusi is the girl in number 17. That girl will go places. My eyes are on her henceforth.

Jersey number 10: She came in as a sub for an injured jersey number 7. I thought I was seeing Mikel on the pitch. People were now wondering why the coach started her on the bench. Immediately she entered the Tanzanians became passengers in the midfield. Our wingers got more balls and the Tanzanians hardly got to the center circle. We scored two goals after her introduction. There was one occasion where she did a Mikel on 3 Tanzanian players. They thought she wanted to pass the ball backward only for her to do a 180 degrees turn with the 3 Tanzanians running in the opposite direction, much to the cheer of the home fans.

Other players that performed well: A very fair skinned girl that played LB and the Two centre backs. The RB was not much in the game as the Tanzanians hardly made any incursion in her direction. Tanzanians had no shot on target, Onyinyechi was only picking up loose balls that came her way.

The only Nigerian player I will axe in the game is the number 18 jersey. She was the main striker in front of Ajibade. A big number 9. But two sluggish and lazy.

Over all, the girls had a good game. Highly eterntaining. Excellent passing abilities. But for the Tanzanian goalie it could have been worse for them.

Tell that to Islam Slimani.... he is Leicester's most expensive striker/forward not Nacho....

Only thing is Nacho comes with heavy buyback fee for a young African player and Hopefully he lives up to the tag with time. Kid just had his first start after struggling to get back from the toe injury setback and get his fitness levels up.. so give him a break!! haba!

So again.. talk to Slimani.... he is the one your message is for based on "most expensive" not Nacho...

terzurum5:

Quit unfortunate though. Let's just hope of youth Coaches do not neglet this one.

Super Eagles Defensive Stalwart Troost-Ekong Pleased To Score Fifth Career Goal




William Troost-Ekong was delighted to net his maiden goal in the colours of Bursaspor in their 4-2 road win over Yeni Malatyaspor on match day five in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.

The central defender, making his fifth straight start in the Turkish top-flight, blasted home a loose ball in the 12th minute to open the scoring for his team.

Writing on Twitter, the former Netherlands youth-teamer stated : ''All Glory to God! So happy my first goal for @BursasporSk''.

As a defender for club and country, Troost-Ekong's main job description is to stop the opponents from scoring, but he has added goals to his games in recent seasons.

The 24-year-old has written his name on the score-sheet five times since he netted his first professional goal against Aalesunds FK on March 19, 2016.

Ekong and international teammate Mikel Agu went the distance against Yeni Malatyaspor.

Truly yea Slimani,a total flopped with that huge money but Nacho is our own,so he must not follow Slimani path coz it w definitely have effects in d national team,look at Algeria team.

I want to see Nacho doing it d way Ndidi is doing it week in week out,despite d team poor performance, Ndidii is always getting high rating.

Honestly too early to speak on Nacho performance in Leicester but irrespective of Shakespeare methods,Nacho must delivered.

It is Victor Moses Vs Alex Iwobi today!!!

Alex Iwobi starts as the LWF in Arsenal's 3-4-2-1/3-4-3 formation....

Victor Moses comes back into the starting lineup to star as Chelsea's RWB in their 3-4-3 formation...

Hey PDPGuy... what were you saying again?? What happened to your Zappacosta talk on benching Moses after Qarabag? looolll

Kog45:
Conte bench Moses?Barca here we come be dat o for Moses.

PDPGuy dey joke ni o

If u can rate this young lad more than Rashford and Dembele,then Nigeria should forget him.I don't think England w allow him to play for us,also NFF attitudes.Do u know how long it took NFF to finish Aina paper or what do u think of losing Akanji.

Funny enough,Amaju was banking on his relationship with his Father,this foreign born think differently except few ones that were brought up in our own way in foreign Land.I hope Tammy have great influence of his Dad just like Aina's Dad.

Pls just look at Tournarigba Ojokojo and Irofa case.This two lads should have been d easiest switch for Nigeria but funny enough Dominic Irofa of all people telling us his son w decide for himself,also Ojokojo that i know very well in shooting star saying his son wanna play for Germany.

So what is our hope on Abraham Tammy,Solanke,Onomah,Ojo,Adarabioyo etc if we can not easily get d likes of Irofa and Ojokojo who are lucky to have Father who are home grown ex player.

There are some of them, can I say, I have come across if not them thier agents and or both. I would say at U18 level they were all NAIJA come first in thier identity and engagement.

It really hinges on long term engagement and relationship, that is at the core of the matter.

For instance let's say I have three of these boys I have spoken too them. I have sold the Nigerian project to them they accept. I then inform the NFF or I speak to Amaju we then begin to play politics of what's in it for me and them. Straightaway they loose thier affinity for Naija and become dissapointed.

I have a principle in life which governs all my relationships, which is how do you treat people who gave nothing to offer and or repay you. That is your true character.

We should have been the first to discover Tega before he began to Blow. Invited him to camp made him feel welcome.

We should not wait for England to recognise them before we do. There is something perverse about a stranger welcome you to his house and showing you love and hospitality before your own family.

If you go the London premiership academies it's not a question of who is Nigerian. But what % of the academy is Nigerian from age grade 6 to 23. The older they get the more the athletic prowess of our boys becomes more pronounced. From 15- 23 the % become higher � even more. So how are we engaging them as it stands right now.


Iorfa, Ojo, Onomah if approached correctly right now will play for Nigeria.

Dedebanky85:
Do you Wana bet on that. He'd play but he WILL NOT start. Zapacosta is a thoroughly good player. He defends better but on the attacking front, they're almost same. Hence he'd get the nod ahead of Moses. I just pray Zapacosta loses form along the way. This is the first real competition Moses has had and he doesn't respond very good to competitions ranging from Liverpool to WestHam.
