Your under 17 boys are off to Tanzania.

andrew444:
E no mean

Yes he was good at Lille ,but world class ? Hello No

Old and washed John utaka won the French league with montepellier and was very vital ,they won it ahead of a psg team with zlatan .

Certitude:
That's if we are to view it from an attacking point. Ebuehi is a better player than Idowu but I'm particular to playing against Messi on that left side. I don't think he would have performed better.

andrew444:
Lol you beleive MRI scan then you are at your own perl.

Once again MRI scan or not,if uzoho is 19 then etebo is 22.

Certitude:
Ebuehi wouldn't have performed any better than Idowu against Argentina on that LWB against Messi.

elyte89:
We av gone past dis obvious lies jare


Etebo head alone pass 22years


Enough of all dis sugarcoating lies,when we c a 22year old boy we knw one

ykalhaji:
Just saw a picture of 20 years Etebo with his alleged wife and child on front page.

jihday:
really? England don't even have any midfielder with rakitic talent

komekn:
It's only here we talk of U17 as if it's conclusive evidence of World class quality. Present and future.

I can not count how many former England U17's are playing non league football and or working in Tesco. Within the last 10 years.

I have been having this argument with regards to Osimhen and Nwakali brother's the only one on an upwards progression is Awoniyi.

peterpen:
Although i didn't watch the match buh this your comment got me, what is offside please?
If he wasn't in an offside position when the ball touched the foot of the last player and when the ball was in flight, he certainly ran to the ball or the defenders left him which certainly is not offside....
I could be wrong tho, buh that's what's i deduced from your comment

ibolomo:
The tackle, even though it was clean, was silly on the part of Vidal, there were Bayern players right in front who could have intercepted the ball.
The ref was at an angle that the tackle looks like it was an infringement, and Vidal, knowing that he already had a yellow card should have known better than to make such an all out sliding tackle, even if he did so cleanly

jerryclinton:
We keep fumbling when it comes to selecting the kind of goalkeepers we can really bank on for the national team. That's how Keshi continued to use that short keeper, Agbim even when we had the best hands in Nigeria.
Now we have a good keeper which everyone had seen his performance at the olympics, Emmanuel Daniel, yet we are still forcing ourselves on a shaky and jittery Akpeyi. This is the same guy, Daniel completely benched at the olympics.
What is a short Ezenwa doing at the super eagles team when we have a tall, confident and agile Emmanuel Daniel? At the olympics, I saw Emmanuel in the moulds of Patrick okala and Peter Rufai. Most countries like to use taller keepers because most players talk about how they dread them. Someone may say Enyeama is not tall and intimidating but Enyeama is quite exceptional with his skill and that's what Ezenwa lacks. I'm happy Emmanuel Daniel has now moved to a foreign club, it's now time to really look his way. The 3 keepers i will recommend for super eagles are
1. Carl Ikeme
2. Emmanuel Daniel
3. Daniel Akpeyi.

Mikel is not the better player today - theres one thing he lacks and that is SPEED. Kanu had the same problem after his major heart operation and the only reason why Kanu was a far better player was he is skill was technically brilliant. Mikel has to over compensate for his lack of speed so when he plays in that offensive position he often loses the boy and needs folks arund him to cover his butt. Thats not good. When playing for Chelsea he always played SAFE. Just did his job but for Nigeria theres a greater responsibility to play offensively and he cannto hack it.

edi287:
One season he's good, the next he's lukewarm, then he gets injured. That's been the problem with him.

Humility017:
that guy is good...abeg
still remember his play against arsenal in the Fa cup final...when he was in hull city and also saving us from embarrassment against RSA in uyo...
he is a very brilliant player....that every day I wish I could lay hands on the super eagles players and fight them...what was needed was to shot frm outside the box not to get into the RSA penalty box...aluko introduction solved this problem as he knew what was expected and he did the needful
that guy is good
though we won't miss his absence much because of the presence of etebo...
they both have similar brilliance and score brilliant goals when needed

edi287:
Aluko is too inconsistent. Talented but lacks consistency to be really elite.

Mickael2:
assist nko?

Humility017:
you see that sunday oliseh caused every thing... him appointing musa as his captain during the few months he coached eagles caused this problem and siasia after restoring the captainship to Mikel...made musa his assistant...that's where the problem started, musa already see himself as super eagles skipper in the absence of mikel...

edi287:
True, but like you said, Tottenham already have Eriksen and to a certain extent Dembele for creativity. Not sure Pochettino would swap Alli goalscoring and superb off the ball movement for Mikel's creativity.

edi287:
Are you saying all Dele Alli is only good at is scoring?? Sure Mikel may be more creative, but Dele Alli also creates/attacks space superbly. If Mikel was in spurs, Pochettino would not play him as an AMF over Alli. Even Eriksen plays on the wing and and he's more creative than Alli.

Mickael2:
are you talking about connecting play or being creative? Because if you mean connecting play then Alli is absolutely marvelous at that. His close control is crazy, he can control a ball while on the run, he doesn't hide from the ball, he is always available and he has the one touch skill to beat his man, but when it comes to making a killer pass he is limited there. Eriksen is only better than him when it comes to long range strikes and killer passes, they are almost balanced in all other aspects

ChrisKels:
Nope, I didn't drop Etebo rather I adjusted the line up, I dropped Ogu instead to accommodate Vicmo but in real match situation, it would still be a tough call leaving out Etebo though we all know what Nwa-Obi Mikel brings to the table. Some twitching would have to be done but then again, I would replace iwobi with Etebo (if he must be benched) when the going gets tough.

Chai u ain't even bringing Onazi into the picture. Are his days numbered??


We have a terrifying depth in Dat DMF oo. ndidi, Etebo, Onazi, Agu, Esiti, azubuike... Chai in pecking order ooo

ChrisKels:
Oh really? Not a bad list then. I was even surprised u left out Nwa-Obi. Aluko for Iwobi?

pelezico:
If we are still talking about mikel does nigeria really have a chance at the WC or even getting there. There should be nigerian players who are capable of taking his place. If thats not the case then woe

ChrisKels:
Not a bad formation anyways but, IMO, the players were somewhat incongruously placed. What's the rationale for leaving out your best player just to accommodate a player because of what he showed in a friendly? Sir I would rather u placed Etebo in the position u placed Ogu and Vicmo at the RW...

Mickael2:
I don't know where you got your idea that he can't link the middle. Did you watch him at MK Dons? For starters, watch his game against Man U, he was the sole creator in that game. Just because he has a new role at Tottenham doesn't mean he can't do it abeg

edi287:
He won't score nearly as much as Alli. Dele Alli has a shot accuracy of over 60 percent

LoveJesus87:
You don't mean it? So me with my bsc can run for senate abi? I can become senator?
