Akpom too?? What about hype?

I don't think ibe we ever ave get an recall

Sunderland's Josh Maja and QPR's Ebere Eze also trained with @NGSuperEagles. Wolves' Dominic Iorfa is also on the radar #BringingThemHome

Akpom and Aina....

I saw the German under 20 side today and there were 3 Nigerians..

tbaba1234:
Akpom and Aina....

boys looking good. see as jersey fit them

The good thing about the Nigerian team now is the number of youngsters.. It is essentially an under 23 side with a few exceptions. We need to fix the goalkeeping position.

tbaba1234:
Akpom and Aina....

this London outing was a really strategic one by NFF, looks more and more like a grand plan to systemically snatch innit boys from Queen and country

Also, it's easier to lure them on familiar turf than telling them to travel down here

Of all the youngsters being invited, Aina is the one that I am most excited about. Not sure that we need Akpom, Eze and Maja yet. Nff should do their switch quickly.

Good thing is that we have most of the Summer to prepare for Cameroon. We need to fix friendly games in the run-up so as to help our unfit players get up to speed.

Hehehehe! Your eyes don kuku ma see am.

Dem go say I dey missyan but here is another witness.

he did.mention that Onazi was average which is what I have been hammering on since, you talk say the guy was a baller in that game

I hope this practice match generate headlines in the British media

some of us watch football in a funny way. even the best teams do not play good football every single day of the season. the difference between a great team and an average team is the ability to get something out of difficult games. we had a relatively drab game but we got something out of it, against Senegal not just any team and the fact that we came back from a goal down makes it even better. but somehow we want our boys to marvel us every single day.

e tire me.... Make dem no wow me for useless friendlies. Anybody that wants to misplace passes and miss goals can use friendlies for such, as long as they bring their A-game to the competitive matches, I'm good

with their influx into the super eagles...the competition will be high...
I love such healthy competition.. it will make many improve.

With Ejaria after the under 20 WC and Tammy Abraham, the future is bright.

yeah...the line up, the eye catching displays etc please do you have any to feed us with bro?

Dedebanky85:
Assuming this is the last game b4 the SA game, based on what I watched, I'd propose the following team against SA:
GK - Ikeme,
CBs - Leon and Troost (we'd still have to manage them)
RB - Shehu; nobody seems to know this guy is very good at RB. Attacks well, defends ok, and crosses almost accurately.
LB - Elderson, no one comes close to usurping this position.

DM - Ndidi, he's won it as his position now.
CM - Onazi, very agile player. We'd have to just manage his erratic passes.
AM - Mikel, may I not hear Iwobi's name for this position until he let's us know he wants to take his football career more seriously.

LW - V. Moses, since he'd be a winger he better comes from the left as he hardly crosses when playing for Naija
RW - Etebo Knicks it just ahead of Success due to team chemistry and his robustness.

FW - Iheanacho. Despite the stick he's been getting of late, no one comes close to his football IQ. This Bobo has movements in abundance.

This team would match SA speed for speed and over power SA physically.

When the desirable is not available the available becomes desirable.

From the players we have invited this is probably the best line up. Is this a team that will compete and win against a highly motivated very physical Cameroon side

I have watched Shehu and I rate him a lot higher than Omeruah for RWB position. Omeruah defends let's say adequately but doesn't gives you many attacking options.

tbaba1234:

seriously....
after the capture of this duo
we can then give it a break fr sometime
and integrate this young ones first to build a formidable team
that Tammy guy really excites me especially wit the dearth of strikers in the SE presently

Why not??

The team is more than good enough to beat the Cameroon side especially at home.

Joebie:
if the NFF is serious they will stamp out bad officiating.

bad officiating will be difficult to stop especially when the renumeration are poor
the league is still facing it's rudimentary problems. I tell u. .we have not seen anything
just watch the league grow pass this stage...and watch any problem like match fixing and it's likes evolve

Mickael2:

Do you have proof?

tbaba1234:
One technical area that needs to be changed in the Super Eagles is the goalkeeping department. I am sure that I am not the only one seeing Akpeyi shaking and jittery... He flopped a ball again leading to the Senegalese goal. Emmanuel Daniel was much better than him in the Olympics and I am sure can do a better job if given a shot.

Just like Rohr is exploring for better players, so should the goalkeeping coaches. Ezenwa is not even the best in Nigeria. Akpeyi can still be on the team but not as second choice. This friendlies would have offered us a chance to see one new keeper. Ikeme is injury - prone and Enyeama is not ready to come back.

Seconded

first, his name is Omeruo, not Omeruah

Second, abeg what is in the Cameroon that Dede's team can't win? Or did they get Mbappe the Superboy to commit to them? You have forgotten how Kenya came to Nigeria and drew on our own turf just two months after our AFCON win? The champions are usually easier to beat because they have more to fight for

Dedebanky85:
I normally watch a game without national bias for the 2nd and 3rd times. The 1st I can be frantic and be bias. My takings ob the game are as follows:

That was one hell of a boring game on Naija's part. Even the commentator could attest to the countless inaccurate passes and crosses. If CMR catches this team, they would lambast this SE. I used to clamor for the absence of Mikel, but I think I'm beginning to have a rethink. The people's choice - Iwobi - has decided to take his SM career more serious than his footy career. For the past 2 months, Iwobi has been repeatedly playing rubbish. He should be reminded of one certain Emma Frimpong. Can't tell where that guy plays these days. I fear for Iwobi. Infact Iwobi shouldn't start against CMR, that's how widowed I am.

Iheanacho still showed his brilliant movements, but as @Forgiveness said, he was match rusty. The 6 yards miss was what Iheanacho feeds on on a regular day. I'm of the opinion he should get the hell outta Man City to save his career.

The defence can't really pass out, especially Ekong and Omeruo. In fact Troost, although a good defender, "em de select leg". Omeruo always has to float the ball rather than pick out a player with a pass. Overall, the game was not really inspiring till the last 8mins of each half.

I don't know if it's just the commentary plus video settings, but when I watched other friendlies, ours just looked like uncoordinated game of "CHOOSING".

On another note, I like the fact that Rohr called up the foreign born guys in the UK, but can SE be more respected whereby you just don't stroll into the camp at will. If Germany was to play in Weasley, would non-capped players in England just come to the German camp just to felicitate? I follow these guys on Snap and other SM, the amount of faces I see in mufty, is alarming. We can be more coordinated than what I'm seeing.

Where there are two or three witnesses .....

God bless ya....

komekn:


From my experience he is there because he is linked in via his Dad, as well as he has been courted by Nigeria for some time. Don't forget that he has known Mikel, Victor for some time. And finally the influence of Emenalo can not be ignored.

U are forgetting the Iwobi factor. He is close to both Aina and Akpom.

Super Eagles regular team led by Ogenyi Onazi were held by a second-string side led by Kenneth Omeruo 1-1 in a practice match played at the Hive Stadium in London tonight.

It was a competitive game played under a good atmosphere.

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho opened scoring in the first half for the ‘A’ team.

However, Olanrewaju Kayode drew the hopefuls level in the second half.

The main team in the all-green kits paraded the likes of goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, Leon Balogun, William-Troost Ekong, Elderson Echiejile, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo.

The second XI, who wore white kits, lined up Shehu Abdullahi, Chiedozie Awaziem, Tyronne Ebuehi, Isaac Success, John Ogu and goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.

Germany-based forward Noah Bazee was introduced in the second half, while Ola Aina from Chelsea played the entire game for the second team.

The match was played in place of a cancelled friendly against Burkina Faso at the same venue after the Stallions failed to secure visas for seven players to fly into the UK.

The Eagles are preparing for crucial AFCON and World Cup qualifiers later in the year.

Hahaha! Iorfa papa don dey wake up.

This match cancellation sweet oooooo.

@SG, maybe u got me wrong. I'm not even looking at CMR for now. Just focusing on the SA game cos that comes 1st. I believe we have the team to beat CMR. If I should jump the gun, maybe this team may beat CMR, but they'd have serious cohesion than us due to at least 3 guaranteed games at the confeds. So on the scale of that it's tough to predict the outcome of those double headers.
