i'm happy for him too. i had my fears for him when he was not able to replicate his fine form for us in the algeria game at uyo in other matches but he has strived to improve his game. he's yet to carve a niche for himself as regards what is his best position for the super eagles but his versatility is really a plus to him some might say a minus.

what really impressed me was how he left his comfort zone in portugal to go improve himself in spain. his recent form has definitely made me have a rethink about the composition of our midfield something like mikel obi, joel obi, ndidi, ogu, onazi, etebo would be quite a battling unit

asha80:
or we increase a pattern we are already into which relying on 'foreign born' Nigerians.

Mujtahida:

There's more to developing football in Nigeria than just relying on FBs for tournaments.

Think about the socio-economic value: jobs for young men and women as players, media operators, PR handlers, physiotherapists, agents, scouts, coaches, instructors, administrative officials etc.

It's really big as in if it's structured as an enterprise. And we have a young population

asha80:
i actualy did not make that statement like i support it..it is just a sign of something systematically wrong with our football.

Mujtahida:

This is the richest midfield we've had since 98 or I dare say 94. Our midfield is tight.

Kog45:
Sir better than 94&98 team.

In 94 team we have Sunday Olishe,Austin Okocha,Mutiu Adepoju,Thompson Oliha and Emeka Ezeugu but funny enough Westerhoff trusted an attacker Samson Siasia in the midfield position head of natural midfielders,this can't happen in this present team.

In 98 team we have Sunday Olishe,Austin Okocha,Mutuu Adepoju, Garba Lawal and Wilson Oruma but this team look solid like present team but i see Garba Lawal competing with only Mikel Agu.

This present team is rich in midfield, pls check it out Mikel, Ndidi, Onazi,Etebo, Ogu,Joel and Agu.

MetalJigsaw:
Its going to be not more than 5, bro.

My question too much?

And you think the coach will draft him there when we have more than enough personnel there already?

forgiveness:





Austin Jay Jay Okocha VS Mikel Obi.... Who better pass?

Sunday Okechkwu Oliseh VS Wilfred Ndidi... Na who be the Oga?

Mutiu Adepoju VS Ogenyi Onazi..... Na who be master?

Thomas Oliha VS John Ogu ........ Em! Na who be father?

as a good will gesture i think the nff should offer our japanese benefactor during the olympics a world cup ticket to watch our matches plus a signed jersey from all our players

fabyom:
Your assertion can be argued and the comparison arrangement is incorrect sir

CaptainStephen:
Sorry which Japanese benefactor are you talking about ?

asha80:
emeka ezeugo was a defender though

Kog45:
Hope you guys remember that Onazi is the team vice captain,so that alone is enough for him to be in the 23 man list and apart from that he belong to three Wiseman in the midfield,left for Ogu,Etebo,Agu and Joel Obi to slug it out.

Ogu had Algeria and Argentina going for him

Etebo not really convincing recently in GWG but his form in LA liga speak volumes.

Agu not really convincing but Rohr rate him may be he see what we fans don't know.

Joel Obi just coming in and a good performance in camp should do the talking for him.

My man not easy to pick the two that would join Mikel, Onazi and Ndidi.

Difficult task.

Olympics.

The japanese was impressed that our players who are poorly preparared could beat Japan.

Nice thread guys,

I will be going to the World Cup(Russia 2018). Myfirst World Cup ever and I’m so freaken exited. Would be going with two other friends.

Who else would be going. Let’s hook up. Or who wishes to go (that is you have the funds) but don’t know how to go about it (especially if you’re outside nigeria).

Being at the World Cup is quite more straightforward and less expensive than they make it seem.

Love to hear from you guys.

Go super eagles

Only staying that he's an utility player, coaches are always in love with versatile players.

He would still lose his first team place all the same if he gets displaced by Tyronne.

mazimee:



How time flies, Tyronne Ebuehi once rejected his invite to play for Nigeria.

Tyronne Ebuehi Later accepted to play for Nigeria

Tyronne Ebuehi Later become the chairman of bench warming management and logistics in Super Eagles.

Tyronne Ebuehi Later declared his willingness to manage the bench warming office in Russia.

Tyronne Ebuehi now an important part of the team,threatening to bench Shehu who was once the best thing after chocolate for the RB position.

Indeed, Time and chance happen to everything.

Kog45:
Good i think this is US 94 midfielders,now let us compared to WC bound 2018.

1.Okocha vs Mikel

Okocha 94 was not better than Mikel 2018.Mikel of 2018 is ahead of Okocha 94 based on experience

2.Oliseh vs Ndidi.

We have a better Ndidi than Oliseh of US 94 playing for Leige.Ndidi is going to WC as a solid player who is fast growing as one of the best.

3.Mutiu vs Onazi

Mutiu was not a regular at US 94 even behind young Okocha who even sat out in group matches at US 94 for Siasia,so i will not compared him with regular Onazi.

4.Oliha vs Ogu

Oliha and Ogu,well difficult to compare cos both are not regular but if we want to based it on Ogu last performance in GWG then Ogu have my nod.

Note I based it on US 94 vs 2018.
