TheGoodJoe: The only player i see capable of KDB's role is Yaya. He and Pep need to get over their egos if not it will be like last year when he got injured. |

TheGoodJoe: Well, i wish Chidi well but I dnt see him breaking into the City's squad. Atleast not any time soon. |

BascoVanVeli: Yaya can not help at all. The problem is not KDB. The media had that wrong. The problem came from Wanyama over running the midfield and that gave room for the Tottenham forward and attack midfield players to press at will. Yaya Toure is poor defending he would not have kept up with the running. When Iheanacho, Sane (Both U21) and Gundogan came in, they brought in more fluid play because of their work rate. Fernandinho was tired, so was Fernando. The exhaustion from the running of the Celtic game took a toll on them. With more runners (defensive), we can rotate and remain fresh. |

Icon4s: For now, there is a big space with an aging Fernandinho and Fernando not keeping up with the pace. Shocking but the City pivot role is open for a young prolific player. If City beats Liverpool to Dahoud, Chidi can still get his chance from rotation. The space is there for Chidi. I hope they can sort his work permit issue. |

Meanwhile, for current news that people should give a shiiit about, there was a 7-aside today at training camp, Obaje scored a brace and Kelechi got a hat-trick Hopefully, they can take such blistering form to Zambia and notch in some goals. The more the better so that some people will stop wanking over Yekini and his not-so-awesome record 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]Red Hot Iheanacho Outshine Obaje’s Brace With Hattrick In Super Eagles In 7 A-Side Training Game[/size] Manchester City Kelechi Iheanacho and top scorer of the recently concluded Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Godwin Obaje were the top men in the evening training session of the Super Eagles. The training which was open to the general public started with the players taking part in a two against five session, meant to test the defenders alertness when a counter attack is launched against Nigeria. In the drill, the duo of Omeruo and Ekong distinguished themselves with pace and smart movement to thwart the attackers who were up against them. Rohr later divided the team into two groups for a seven a side game, which saw lot of goals but the duo of Iheanacho and Obaje showed their goal scoring form for their clubside is no fluke. Chisom Egbuchulam also followed up his hattrick for Enugu Rangers on Sunday with a goal in the seven aside game but his partner Obaje scored twice, also proving his top scorer award in the league was well earned. However Iheanacho outshined the duo with a hattrick in the game that ended 5-3 in favour of his side by our count. Aside his goal he caused Jamiu Alimi and Uche Agbo all sort of problems with his movements, skills and hold up play.[/b] http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/04/red-hot-iheanacho-outshine-obajes-brace-with-hattrick-in-super-eagles-in-7-a-side-training-game/ |

safarigirl: 90 goals in 114 games is awesome on whatever planet. Yekini is still the record scorer. Kelechi is doing a great job of taking over the mantle. Long may it continue. |

TheGoodJoe: Man city lacked cutting edge and Yaya can provide that. Just like David Silva has stepped up defensively Yaya can too. KDB can create out of nothing just like his first goal against man u, great header from Iheanacho but other players won't see that opportunity. Yaya can provide the same way like his shot off Iheanacho's back or the slobber knocker against the gunners. Name another midfielder that can provide what Yaya and KDB can? |

BascoVanVeli:Yaya is old and way past his prime, I don't know if you saw him last season towards the end, but each game, he looked more and more like a chicken gasping for breath than a player with cutting edge. So, I strongky disagree that Yaya can help Coty, in this modern day of pacy players, last thing anyone needs is a slow CMF, dragging his heavy body across the field 1 Like |

safarigirl: not true, Yakubu played about the same number of games with less goals. Martins did not even come close. No one was prolific enough to match him. Kelechi has started well. The record has lasted that long for a reason. |

ZAMBIA LOSES KEY PLAYER AHEAD WORLD CUP 2018 QUALIFIERS CLASH AGAINST NIGERIA ![]() Zambia will be without one of their key players when they take on Nigeria on Sunday in a World Cup 2018 qualifiers tie at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola. They were forced into reshuffling their squad for the game after injury ruled out Kaizer Chief talismanic forward Lewis Macha for the tie against Nigeria. Macha suffered an injury last month but Zambia were hoping he will recover on time to play in the game against Nigeria, but medical checks revealed he won’t be fit for the tie. He has been replaced by Hapoel Ra’anana of Israel winger Rodgers Kola while another Misheck Chiala was also recalled two days after he was released alongside ten other players. However Chiala will be on standby owing to the injury picked up by Clatous Chama while playing in a league game for Zesco United against Konkola Blades.

NEWCASTLE UNITED SCOUTS SUBMIT DOSSIER ON HIGHLY RATED NIGERIAN TEEN MIDFIELDER/DEFENDER NDIDI ![]() According to online reports monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial staff Nigeria international defender Wilfred Ndidi was one of the players scout of Newcastle United watched in Thursday Europa League clash between Genk and Sassuolo. Ndidi who plays for Genk is traditionally a centre defender but he improved in leaps and bounds last season when he was moved to the defensive midfield role. Since then he has played both role admirably well for Genk, and the 19 year old has been roundly scouted by top teams, including Hamburg who reportedly failed with a bid for him in the summmer. Newcastle United interest in the Super Eagle who has 4 caps for Nigeria and 4 goals for Genk in 67 games in his less than two years stay with the club is reportedly worth £5m. Last season his goal against champions Club Brugge was voted the best goal in the Belgian top flight league.

BascoVanVeli: Our problem was not cutting edge. After Iheanacho, Sane and Gundogan came in, we walked into the defence of Tottenham Hotspur easily and created multiple chances. The problem was Tottenham Hotspur over ran us in the game and Yaya can not help there. |
