So, what experience did Iwobi acquired prior to this match?

Icon4s:


I never said I prefered Omeruo over Balogun. My point was Balogun being out of the game is nt much of a problem bc Omeruo is up to the task.

forgiveness:



I just asked you a question. What makes it the worst team after 8 games?

Please, tell us how many times he has been benched in recent games?

Tell us how many games Roda fc played without Ajagun?

I need facts.

Icon4s:


Does that make him qualified to start as RB against Algeria?

Icon4s:


Iwobi was part of the intial U23 set up.

Iwobi debuted in a Friendly against Congo.
Iwobi played in the friendly against Cameroun
Iwobi played thw away game against Swaziland at the first stage of the WCQ.
Iwobi featured in the double header against Egypt.

Notice that he struggled in those early games but thank God they were friendlies and weak WCQ opponents.

See, one thing u must understand is the Super Eagles team has started taking shape.
We have gone past that stage of all comers affair.

tbaba1234:


Lol, right now, they are the worst. If the great Ajagun leads them to better form, we will consider him for the Eagles.

Roda has scored only 3 goal in 8 games. How is Ajagun going to be creating for the Eagles when he is not creating at club level.

Not playing in Chelsea is different from not playing in Roda jc. Mikel will walk into the starting 11 of most EPL teams. Ajagun would not.

BascoVanVeli:


Can u imagine? In England they would have been talking about this all thru the build up to the match. Anyhow sha i knew he was gaining on a record let us hope it continues, here another start Nigeria has won all matches that Iheanacho has scored a goal in.

How?

By been used as practising material?

You have not showed me any fact and you have not established your claims that Ajagun was bench in recent 'games'.

Please, prove that one first. Thanks.

Icon4s:


At least you saw the least of matches that I listed. You can count since u want to know the number.

forgiveness:


Does Musa Mohammed statistics qualified him to be Nigeria's no 1 RB?

Does Ndidi statistics qualifies him to play at the RB for the first time in his whole career for the national team?

forgiveness:


Iwobi never struggled in those matches. Chikena!

tbaba1234:


I disagree with the 'he struggled' part... I believe that Iwobi and Kelechi should have started the Egypt away game. It was a risk worth taking.

Icon4s:


How did Iwobi fair in the friendlies against Congo DR and Cameroun? And even the Swaziland game. He has improved. That is my point.

tbaba1234:


He has improved greatly, certainly.

tbaba1234:


He did not start the last game.

Doesn't the fact that he has started most games make his case worse. He is a creative midfielder in a team that has scored only 3 goals in 8 games..

forgiveness:


Prove one before moving to another.

You said he has not started in 'recent games' but now you are telling us about just 1 game. Is that not exaggeration?

Let me help u. Ajagun only missed one game due to the red card he received.

Ajagun played as a central midfielder recently for Roda fc. He only played in the attacking midfielder few times and it was even when dey scored the 3 goals. hahahahahah!

Well said Sir Basco...

Another Stat is Of the four goals he's scored so far, three are match winners.


I anticipate his first brace and hattrick for the Super Eagles.

Oasis007:




I am really proud of the new Look Eagles! A Dude in my Area asked me after the Match that who wins?! I replied him - Nigeria of course!

He couldn't believe it and said; wasn't it an away Match? I answered Yes! The next Question was very funny - he asked me if the Team donned the Green Jersey, and when I replied; No, it was the white Jersey. He was perplexed cos to him, the White Jersey is a Curse!

LOL!

BascoVanVeli:


All his goals were match winners, remember Luxembourg scored once meaning our second goal which Iheanacho scored was the winner.

Icon4s:

Ajagun for now is not good enough for the AM role in the Super Eagles. Period!

KevinDein:
basically, what the author of that article did was to name the team with the "biggest stars" as group winners, (thinking Ghana will win their group says it all). What he fails to understand is that teams like Nigeria and Egypt have far more balanced teams (Algeria might ARGUABLY have a very slightly superior attack than Nigeria, but I genuinely feel we've got a better midfield and a slightly better defence than them).

We shouldn't take these journalists seriously (I personally don't ). They are not as informed and knowledgeable as they will like us to believe and most of their articles are aimed at stirring controversies.

CLICK BAITS

Skipper Rainford Kalaba has revealed some Zambia players were intimidated by the Nigeria stars who play in the Premier League in England and this caused their loss Sunday.

We were careless and Nigeria punished us - Zambia coach

Zambia lost for the first time in Ndola with Premier League stars Alex Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho scoring for Nigeria in the first half.

The other Premier League stars on the squad were Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi, Ahmed Musa from Leicester City and Brown Ideye, who has previously featured for West Bromwich Albion.

Kalaba revealed these stars scared some of his colleagues.

“Playing against experienced players based in Europe, some of the guys were scared of playing against them because they always watch them every weekend in the Premier league and when they see them live, it is often difficult for them to concentrate on the game,” reasoned the TP Mazembe star who posted a short-lived stint in Portugal many years ago.

“In the first half some of the guys were a bit scared, but in the second half we all saw how things went and we controlled the game.

“There are even more stars in Algeria and Cameroon, so this must be big lesson for us.”

Kalaba further said of his impression of Nigeria,” We respect Nigeria because they have some good players.

“They have some experienced players in the midfield and they were well organised.”

The exciting forward said the pressure will now be on the Chipolopolo to get their qualifying campaign back on track.

“Losing our first game has brought more pressure on us, but we hope to improve,” he admitted.

“We are all very disappointed we lost at home because it was important to start (this competition) well.

“We still have time to work together with the coach so that we that we could rectify the mistake we have made.”
