charlesemeka85:
Una really get time dey worry una head for our local clubs and Chan team.

I have said this before that our best players in the local scene re in academies and grassroots clubs.

Since I noticed the above claim I no dey care about our league anymore cus it's full of capenters which is the reason 90% of them fail trials in obscure leagues in Europe.

Former super eagle Anthony Nwaekeme with a goal and an assist as Trabzonspor are closing out a 4-1 win against Besiktas, the struggling Turkish giants.

Jon Obi Mikel also on for 90 mins, with a yellow card to show for his efforts.

Togo has beaten Nigerian super eagles twice in a week. At home and on neutral ground.

O Bob make I ask you sontin, carpenter thief your wife before?

For the system and style of play that Frank wants Tomori is the better defender.

However, if you are looking for various muscle bound no nonsense ENFORCER then Zouma is your man.

Sometimes the question is not who is better but who best fits the requirements, structure, style and philosophy of the team and manager.

One more beating is still coming in October. Those guys may make us to fall outside first 5 in Africa.

andrew444:
I agree with you

But zouma is better than him thou,but tomori has gotten the edge because he took his chance and lampard style of play also

tbaba1234:
Imama is to blame here.

To Elyte89... and all Ndidi mega critics.


I am a critic myself but first I am our Players' biggest praise singer and Super fan...

Now I hope you saw Ndidi as a Lone DM today again. Wait.. relax.. I know you will say he is different for Leicester than he is for Nigeria. But just listen first...


Ndidi as a Lone DM in the Super Eagles 3-man midfield of Ndidi-Aribo-Iwobi will get the job done and keep things super simple. No ball hugging, no overelaborate plays... Just mark, intercept, win balls, win duels (ground or aerial), and pick a simple pass to your advanced teammates.

Aribo will concentrate on transiting plays and ball carrying while Iwobi roams as the creative spark of the team centrally.

I have said this before... One of Ndidi or Etebo must be sacrificed and my pick is Etebo to be benched despite his energy levels and super balling skills because as a DM Ndidi is more disciplined and keeps it simple. Ndidi also rivals Etebo's workrate. So Etebo loses out in the DM role.

In the CM role, Aribo transits plays much better than Etebo. This only means that Etebo will have to make do with a place on the bench in the evolution of this Super Eagles team going forward.




Final Note: You will see the best of Ndidi if you play him as a Lone DM having a defined CM and True AM in front of him and not as a DM in a double pivot. This is why the Ndidi we saw at Egypt 2019 was either above average or basically decent/average.

charlesemeka85:
Zouma is better but tomori is not far behind. Lampard knows tomori better cus he did a great job for his team last term in the championship.

Tomori has the potentials to metamophose into a beast of a defender in the future.

A lot of Nigerian football fans indeed suffer from amnesia.

All the exploits of his 35 caps and dont forget the highest goal scorer in the just concluded AFCON.

Your diction is disrespectful, disdainful and makes it seems we football fans are shameless ingrates.

No wonder he retired he had enough of the HATE and RANCOROUS RHETORIC that was thrown at his person by our so called fans.

Well done.

Former Nigeria U17 trainee Chidera Ejuke ‎has joined the list of players coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr is watching closely in view of a call up to the senior national team of Nigeria, Owngoalnigeria.com understands.



Ejuke has been in fine form for SC Heerenveen since joining them in the summer from Norwegian side Valerenga and he once again proved his usefulness to the team with a brace in their 3-0 win over VVV Venlo.

The brace took his goal count for the season to four in eight games, two short of his most prolific season since moving to Europe which was last season where he scored six times in 14 matches for Valerenga.

Owngoalnigeria.com gathered from sources close to Rohr that the 21 year old has been pencilled down for further scouting in view of a call up to the senior national team in the future.

He was linked with a call up to the U23s but surprisingly his name wasn’t included in the list of foreign based players despite the list coming three days after he scored against league giant Ajax Amsterdam.

iSlayer:
This guy must be better than I thought.

mank1234:
For me I think it's NFF. We should not be participating in nonsense competition like WAFU and CHAN. We should take ranking seriously because it determines where you are seeded in competitions.

Prior to 2014 world cup, Switzerland exploited a loophole in ranking (by playing less friendly and against lesser European teams) and ended in top 7. If we are looking at the future (2022), we should start now to plan.

In last world cup we ended in pot 4 unlike other better placed African teams that were place in pot 3.

tbaba1234:
Advocates of the local league will not accept this. Since it gives some exposure to local players.

For me that's the key issue.

Unless players are given opportunity how will we know that they are better or as good as the players already selected.

Another issue is that you may indeed be doing pretty good in your local club and league it may not necessarily transfer with same impact to the national team the SE.

Considering how good Vardy is with his blistering pace albeit very limited technical ability as well as skill. He has not been able to have the same impact in the 3 Lions.

BascoVanVeli:
How about we shutdown the whole league?
