He used essentially the same under 23 players. Ndah, Ndifreke and co. So they can not claim not to have trained together. At least we can see the diffference some quality makes.

I don't expect this man to win any away match....
he is not a good coach....and has nothing to offer.

Thats a very fat lie. In fact, u know nothing about Imama. His Rangers side of 2016, would give the super eagles a run for their money, with our dangerous quartet of Clement, Aguda, Egbuchulam and Nwobodo. Man set up his team to play beautiful attacking football laced with intricate passes that always mesmerised our opponents. When Imama was with Rangers, I no dey miss any home match if I dey around Enugu

Honestly, that competition is share waste of resources. NFF should stop taking part in it because it is not yielding any useful results for the national team.

Egbuchulam could not cut it in Sweden. They are levels in football. Because they were playing entertaining football in the NPFL does not mean they can replicate it against better quality players.

I mean,what's the point?? The local players will still use the CHAN as a means of escaping their local league.

Maybe CAF should just mandate all African countries to have a certain percentage of their AFCON squad from their leagues...

An inform Ndidi is not better than an inform Zuby.

One area Ndidi is clearly better than Zuby is aerial battle,nothing more.
Zuby is a combative player...can give Ndidi a run for his money
He plays better passes....Ndidi cant
Holds the ball and dictate play...Ndidi cant
Ability to play centrally...Ndidi can't.
Because of all these quality he can fill in the AM if needed.

World class Zuby

Ezenwa conceded 4 goals against Ghana at the WAFU nations cup!

If Ezenwa was better than Afelokahi, he would not have been 3rd choice at Enyimba...unless there was some kind of conspiracy...

Europe will have to match the intensity of the premier league or else the Champions league trophy will be staying in England for a long time

Which intensity are you talking about that other top 5 leagues isn't catching up with?

FYI, other leagues are beginning to follow EPL intensity.

For a start, yesterday I watched Celta Vigo running riot for complete 90 minutes against ATM. Same thing for Granada against Barca. They didn't give barca a second to breathe.

What will you say about Hellas Verona who for 50 minutes they were behind to Juventus in Turin gave the old Ladies a run for their money. Even though they lost, I was wondering who actually was at home between them both.

Baba the intensity of football is increasing tremendously everywhere everyday. Not just the EPL

Lome Debacle: Five things we learned as Hawks feast on CHAN Eagles
by Ademetan Abayomi

Nigeria’s start to the 2020 African Nations Championship qualifiers was nothing short of a calamity. A 4-1 loss to Togo was seen as a crushing blow.

The side now have a mountain to climb to recover from this defeat in the return leg.

Some may blame Imama Amapakabo’s tactics for undermining the players’ ability to showcase their quality. But at the end of the day, whether the game plan was right or not, the players must at least be able to execute simple tasks such as receiving and passing the ball, or even just running. All it takes to run is your leg and your desire. Something the whole team threw out the window midway through the second half.

Here is Futbalgalore.com’s view on five things Nigeria can take away from this debacle.

Ibrahim Sunusi looks a star

Sunday saw an exciting young player give the most high-profile indicator yet of his talent. Ibrahim Sunusi, scored the Super Eagles’ solitary goal in Lome. The 17-year-old’s goalscoring exploits have also included 10 goals in last season’s NPFL. He was also on target when the Olympic Eagles annihilated Sudan U23 5-0 in Asaba. Sunusi ooks set for a big future.

John Lazarus was Lost on the Right

John Lazarus pretty much disappeared. Question marks remain over his inclusion. He was too slow to beat anyone with pace, and he didn’t have the touch to combine with teammates when pressured by the energetic Togolese team. Lazarus only runs in straight lines, something that is not an issue when playing at the zones but extremely crucial while playing out wide. Without his varied runs, his game lacked another dimension, making him extremely predictable and easy to mark out of the game.

Ikechukwu Ezenwa – A Huge Miss in the Heart of the Defence

The goalkeeper is crucial as a last line of defence. When you have someone everybody can trust, confidence spread through the back line, making defending much easier. Ikechukwu Ezenwa is that man for Nigeria, but, unfortunately, he sat on the bench.

Theophilus Afelokhai may have not made many mistakes, but he didn’t play well either. He simply doesn’t offer that aura of authority and confidence that Ezenwa does.

The Hawks Were Simply Hungrier

Togo didn’t beat Nigeria 4-1 because of luck, or because the Hawks was poor. The ‘Hawks’ were just hungrier and more motivated than their opposition. They adopted a compact shape, relentlessly pressing the technically excellent Eagles to stop them from playing.

The Players Giving Up

In football, mistakes happen and refereeing decisions can go against you. However, as a player, you are expected to keep your head up and soldier on. Sadly, all the CHAN Eagles players just mentally collapsed after Richard Nane goal made it 2-1 right.

Someone tell Rohr and Nff to do everything within their means yo get Tomori

Forget about that mumu tammy abraham.

Naijas biggest challenge is defence. All our defebders are bang average. No need to respect Ekong and balogun. Oyinbo wall is a farce

There is also one top rated defender in germany. I think he is in bayern or so

The best players deserve to be called no unnecessary mumu sentiments or respect.
