Earthquake2:


Funny that the only young talent omitted by Rodgers is Iheanacho

Maybe he didn't have him in mind while coming

hoodedjaystrim:

Haters

Earthquake2:
Brendan Rodgers mentioned the young talents he is happy to work with at Leicester and he didn't mention Iheanacho

Barnes, Gray, Maddison, Chilwell and young Ndidi...

Huh TheGoodJoe

We all know he will come out with a pass not even a 3rd class as he spends too much time on nairaland and not study as he should. In fact he might end up driving keke marwa at this rate.

My prayer for him is that all I wrote will not happen to him. I also hope he stops wishing one of the successes of youth soccer in Nigeria ill luck.

Curtisaxel7:


I am not comparing myself to Iheanacho. I am not the one that the NFF spent millions of Nigerian taxpayers' money to train, nuture and sponsor from U-15 level to senior level. I am not the one that the NFF took to FIFA tournaments as an unknown rookie player and gave a platform to showcase his talents to the world. I am not the one that was taken to the largest football showpiece on earth despite my poor showings for my club in order to give me an unmerited chance to salvage my career.

I am not even half as privileged as Iheanacho, nor will I ever be. I have not enjoyed any of the support and sponsorship that the NFF gave to Iheanacho. I have no sponsor but myself, I have had to scrape and hustle to make ends meet and still pursue my academic endeavors just like millions of other Nigerian youths out there. So, there's no comparison between me and Iheanacho. I am not jealous of him, some people are just luckier than the others, but comparing me to him at this stage of my life will be like comparing yourself with Dangote's son. It's simply unfair.

Let the Nigerian government give me the same support it gave to Iheanacho, then we can compare achievements.

I marvel at your level of ignorance. So because I'm in school I should not use social media again?. Maybe I should also stop bathing, brushing my teeth, sleeping, eating because they are all distractions from my studies.

Lol... someone nobody knows in his village...is berating a lad...who should be of same age with him but already a millionaire in all currencies....

someone who won Nigeria a gold medal at the under 17... a lad who has a golden boot in same category...

I doubt he will ever attain the status to clean nacho booth...

sometimes you know failed folks when you see one...they just can't stop wishing others failures....
I have learn to ignore him...over 4 years ago I was in the university... I doubt I will be so active on nairaland during academic session.

Humility017:


I don't like the idea of Rohr shutting the door on players plying their trade in the Belgian league...

if players based in Israel could fetch invitee how much more players playing in Belgium


Taiwo and Oshimen deserve an invitation for the next dead rubber match....
they should be invited and gradually eased into the super eagles...

and for the under 20/23 the coaches should be allowed to go look for players...
sometimes...if you don't give room for others you won't know there abound talent players waiting for an opportunity to shine...

Kog45:
Kai humility baba u don pass this level na.

Pls leave haters and lovers of players alone and let us talk football.

I think we need to emulate thegoodjoe when it comes to response.

Agreed

Humility017:

thanks sir...

I don't subscribe to oga icon4 school of thought that' believes taiwo and oshimen should be in the under23.
I believe our indigenous coaches are so lazy in scouting for players....if not rohr we won't have got some of this foreign born players...to play for us..
and now especially in England some of these players are ripe to be lured...into the super eagles...
I doubt if ejaria, bashiru, bernerts,onomah, those Chelsea young players on loan except Abraham T. will decline play for Nigeria...
especially the Chelsea lads.

we have excellent strikers there....
but our indigenous coaches are busy dragging old men from the npfl into the team.
If I was the under 23 coaches...I doubt I will use any npfl players...save for Lazarus and co...I know few years back were really 17
I will manage the NNL...the nationwide league and do extensive screening from all reputable academics nationwide, draft them in and lure some foreign born players abroad...and see how the under 23team will blossom... for now and the future.

Icon4s:


It is most likely that u didn't watch Super Falcons of the late 90s to 2000s era play.

The only player on that your list that stands a chance is Azizat Oshoala I may also add Onome Ebi.

I must tell u the quality of players has dropped. Then were the days when as the Super Falcons were exchanging passes and initing attacks the crowd would be cheering ceaslesly.

Do u know that in 2003 Nigeria presented 2 Super Falcons teams? One went to the All African Games and won Gold while the other went to the World Women's Championship.

Can u split this current team that way? They even in their full strength could not win the last AAG. They didn't even qualify for the last Olympics.

If you are opportuned please watch some of the games of the Falcons of the old. We should not even be arguing this.

I think the spotlight tomorrow falls on Ndidi because Brendan Rodgers hammered on the Leicester City team playing with a higher block. Which means that they will play with a very high line of defence. He also pointed out of the team playing with a higher tempo which means they will build from the back at a faster rate.

Rodgers said he is building the defence structure of Leicester City to suit his philosophy and said the players responded well in training.

I have a feeling this will bring an improvement in the play of Ndidi and we might see him flourish in it because I felt Puel's system was holding back.

BascoVanVeli:


Oga the game has changed, teams are improving. Those past teams would have a hard time in the last AWCON if they had the same coach. We didn't qualify for the Olympics but that is what happens when u sack a coach and the players are not happy. Are u forgetting that even Oshoala didn't show up for the qualifiers?

Forget ur 2 team theory. Give me Edwin Okon and Rivers United and they will go to the AWCON and bring back that trophy. Don't go there because our league is jam packed with talented ladies who have not been given a chance by that bum of a coach. Our major problem is that the NFF know nothing about women football and they for the most part leave the team in the worst hands.

I like when I read people who share some ideologies of the game with me. I read this comment by a Leicester City fan and a point I made earlier was made.

yorkiefox:

Any striker needs five starts in a row to build confidence. The time to give him that was back in August with Vardy returning late from the World Cup.

We did not and we pay the price.

I am afraid that whilst Vardy has been so impressive, the club has become a graveyard for other strikers. None we have signed are hares off the shoulder like Vardy is. Yet we set up to play each week as if Vardy is there and the opposition have not learnt how to deal with the quick early ball over the top. As Vardy loses pace with age we will have start to play another way and then Iheanacho may step up to the plate. Or Hirst at Leveren or Ndukwu or a new signing may come in.

So now with Rodgers, Nacho will get to train and operate in a system that suits him. However, learning and understanding the system comes first. Then, Nacho needs five games in a row. I have no doubt he will light up the EPL.

Well as I said, interesting times ahead.
