Mickael2:Enyeama is not coming back, Ikeme is Nigeria first choice and he's doing very well, we should be looking for a younger goalkeeper to understudy Ikeme. |

Mickael2: Enyeama is a closed chapter in the history of Nigerian football. He remains our all time best goalie but it is a shame he retired the way he did. 1 Like |

What is the problem if Ajagun is called to play for his father's land? He is even playing in a better league than Esiti, Ndidi, Onazi, Azubuike and Nosa. Sorry! ![]() So, do you mean Ndidi and Musa are more experienced than those players mentioned? ![]() ![]() I can see you speak from both sides of your mouth sir.

Iheanacho Beats Yekini, Siasia Personal Record After Scoring In Four Consecutive Games ![]() Kelechi Iheanacho. Photo Credit : mancity.com Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho registered his name on the score sheet for the fourth straight game in the Super Eagles impressive 2-1 win over Zambia in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday afternoon. The 20-year-old’s 42nd minute goal saw him beat the personal record of Rashidi Yekini and his former strike partner Samson Siasia, who both scored in three consecutive matches for the Super Eagles. The late Yekini first scored in three consecutive games at the 1990 African Nations Cup, against Egypt, Ivory Coast and Zambia, while ex-Nantes star Siasia repeated the feat when he netted against Benin Republic in an AFCON qualifier on April 27, 1991 before scoring in his next two matches against Burkina Faso (July 1991) and Senegal (January 1992). Iheanacho did not score in his first two games for the national team but ended that run when he hit target in 1-0 win over Mali in May, then scored against Luxembourg, Tanzania and Zambia. The Taye Academy product is Nigeria’s current top scorer this calendar year. Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=20712 1 Like 1 Share |

The Super Eagles are now on a 31-match unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers. The last loss was in June 2004, 0-1 loss away to Angola. Since that time, the SE have won 21 games and drawn 10. - FIFA user. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: When the report came out about Ndidi getting the pick because of aerial balls, was that not one of the things I said he did well yesterday? It is not bias. If you read what you quoted, you will see I am talking of a possessive style being a good option. Not the main option or only option. Goldfish80 made it clear that it is an option to consider. Nwobodo is a passing player. He can play wide and he can be part of a possessive style Super Eagles if the coach chooses to use it. I do not see what I wrote as bias or sentiment. |

tbaba1234: What makes it the worst team in the Eredivise after just 8 games out of 30 something? Who told you he is not starting? Please, kindly be informed that Ajagun has started in all their league matches prior to receiving red card. Moreover, that is not what is used to measure the quality of a player. Afterall, Chelsea_F.C was almost relegated last season? Does that makes Mikel Obi a bad player? Who are the better ones? |

forgiveness: I knew it! All that long write up was just to make a case for Ajagun. ![]() See, Musa Mohammed is not entirely a bad player. He has performed excellently well in the two games he has played for Nigeria. He is a player i can say is tested but not trusted. Musa Mohammed is no new comer as far as African football is concerned. Having played the U17 & U20 of which he was one of the outstanding performers. We all know the quality Musa Mohammed posses yet we cannot trust him to cope with the battle of Ndola. I repeat how much less Ebuechi, Idowu and co. As far as the national team set up and conditions are concerned Musa Mohammed is more experienced than those guys u mentioned. Mohammed has what it takes to be a great RB bt its just that "he is not there yet". ![]() As for replacement for Iwobi. You forget we have the highest abundance of players at the wings. V. Moses, Ahmed Musa, S. Moses, Imoh Ezekiel, Isaac Success, Karo Etebo. Any of these guys can easily be slotted into the wings position. Also Alex Iwobi can also easily play behind the CF. So if Iheanacho is injured Iwobi is there. Issue of Mikel replacing Iheanacho as a number 10. Did you not see Mikel play that position all through the Olympics. Do you also know at a point in that semi final against Germany Mikel was virtually playing a SS role as Etebo remained injured. Also note that Etebo does not only play as a SS, he plays as Wing Forward( Nig vs Japan in Rio) & as a number 10 (CAF U23). So oga, we have so many options in the wings and Central AM positions. 1 Like |

WHY GENK STAR NDIDI GOT THE NOD TO START AGAINST ZAMBIA, ROHR EXPLAINS ![]() The decision to start Wilfred Ndidi ahead of Musa Mohammed has generated debates in Nigeria especially as he was preferred ahead of Shehu Abdullahi who has also played as a right back for the Eagles. Ndidi who is predominantly a central defender during his days with the various arms of Nigeria Youth teams, the Under-17 and 20s precisely have been converted to a defensive midfielder by his Belgian side. Playing him as a right full back in an important game like the World Cup qualifiers between Nigeria and Zambia caused a lot of concerns for football loving Nigerians. However shortly after the 2-1 victory we gathered that, Rohr went for Ndidi ahead of Musa and Shehu due to his marking abilities as opposed to the attack minded duo who have played in the position in the past. Nigeria needed to keep things tight at the back and, Rohr noticed Ndidi marks better and doesn’t give out fouls around the edge of the box than most defenders in the team. Aside that his aerial abilities in defending set piece in training won Rohr over, as the manager drilled his defenders on how to defend set pieces from which they expect Zambia to threaten prior to the game.

This is in response to News that initially made rounds saying Rohr Rates Igiebor above Ogu or that Igiebor is the reason for Ogu's non call-up. ....................................................................... STOP PRESS: NOT IGIEBOR, ROHR LIST PLAYERS WHO ARE KEEPING OGU OUT OF SUPER EAGLES ![]() Head coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr has corrected impressions in the media that Nosa Igiebor is keeping inform Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu out of the team. Rohr also clarified what he meant when he said he has players in his team who are better than the Hapoel Be’er Sheva midfield anchorman in his team. ”The issue has been blown out of proportion, we presently have players who can play more than one role for the team in his position” He told Owngoalnigeria.com correspondent. ”We have Wilfred Ndidi who can play in more than three roles, there’s Shehu Abdullahi as well who can play two roles. Ogenyi Onazi is in the team as well. ”If we listen to the media, we will call almost everybody involved in football to the national team. We have our own ways of calling players to the team and good players will always be called up in due time”.
