I stumbled on this and I was amazed . So kelechi has scored in 4 consecutive matches for the super eagles to superceed the record of late Rasheed Yekini and coach Samson sia1 .

This is not a bad record . More to come, I pray he stays injury free.

I know people have been giving Mikel props for his performance against Zambia but after taking my time to study that match over again, I can't help to point out that Mikel was not at his best. He was lost in the first 30 minutes of the game and you can tell he is match rusty. Now,the question is if Mikel continues sitting on the bench which will affect his sharpness is he still going to be starting games for the Super Eagles. And if Mikel isn't there who will man AM position,Oghenekaro?

Of course, I know Rohr won't be starting Simon Moses in our next game and Ndidi will certainly not be starting from right back. Iwobi needs to be substituted soon as the clock says 65minutes and he needs to work more for the team---this is one area that Simon Moses did very well.

Ndidi's aerial ability is top notch but he is lacking in pace. Onazi was our best player on the field--hommie was everywhere and never got tired. Omeruo was outstanding except for the error that led to the goal. Ekong's maturity is not in question.

Echiejile was the weak link in the back and the Zambians slaughtered him like a cow-- it's a shame because he is oldest player in that defence but his confidence was up to no good. He has no pace and his marking ability was zero. And this makes me wonder how he is going to cope against the more faster and skillful Algerians. Rohr will need an extra man in the midfield.

Ideye,aside his running and over-all work rate didn't cut it for me,more so when he is supposed to be an experienced player.

The Zambian team we played was a very strong side,except that we took our chances early enough---I see this Zambian team giving Algeria and Cameroun a lot of trouble. They are no pushover-- Very under-rated.

The only thing to take from the match was HOPE. We didn't play so well but there is hope for improvement.

Mickael2:


So because he was everywhere that makes him the best player? Chances created, Zero. Long passes completed, Zero, number of successful dribbles zero. Even his pass completion percentage was downright poor and you sadly think he was our best player because he was 'everywhere and never got tired'. The best DMF in the world (for me), Busquets is quite stationary but that's because that's where your DMF should be, sitting infront of your defence not running around like a headless chicken, that's ill discipline.

Omeruo and Ekong's combination was brilliant. It was simply a Puyol-Pique combination. Ekong was charged with winning the aerial balls and playing the ball out of defence and Omeruo did the dirty work, that combo was brilliant. I agree with everything else though

Ideye Wins Best Goal Award In Greece

http://www.soccerassembly.com/ideye-wins-best-goal-award-in-greece/

OdenigboAroli:


I was rating him based on his marking ability---he did a lot of dirty work for the team. Also, you must know Onazi has never been a great "ball player" but he makes it up with his work rate(tackling,marking and blocking). If he wasn't our best player in that day then who is. I would have said Omeruo but that blinder ruined it for him.

ASIDE TAMMY ABRAHAM NFF CONFIRMS
TALKS WITH SPURS, BOURNEMOUTH AND
ANOTHER CHELSEA YOUNGSTER OVER
NATIONALITY SWITCH





Much have been made about Nigeria’s approach to Chelsea highly rated teen forward Tammy Abraham. However Owngoalnigeria.com
exclusively gathered that he is not the only player Nigeria has opened talks with about a switch to the senior national team.



We gathered president of the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick is using his
connections in England to reach out to young
players, who are eligible to represent Nigeria.

Although Tammy Abraham is the one he has
confirmed, sources close to the NFF supremo
reveal he is also in talks with three other players
who have also played for England at youth level.


” Aside Tammy Abraham, Josh Onomah of
Tottenham Hotspur is high on our list as well,
already we are in talks with his parent, so far we
having positive response but we have to take it
one step at a time” He said.


” We’ve also re-established contact with Jordon
Ibe as well, he is doing well at Bournemouth,
hopefully we will speak with him after the first
round of World Cup qualifiers.


” Then there’s Ola Aina, his case is a bit complex for now but once he is settled in the first team of Chelsea, we will do our bit to lure him” He concluded.

Mickael2:


so if after marking the ball and successfully dispossessing your opponent, you give the ball straight back to him with a misplaced pass what's the point? If you can't put your marking abilities to good use then it's near worthless. Anyways, didn't you see Ekong's stats? Or maybe you don't think a goalkeeper can win the man of the match either?

TheGoodJoe:


Who sent Pinnick to contact HYPE?

Please leave Ola Aina. Let us not force him to play for us.

tbaba1234:


Force him...No one can force anyone..

I think Ola Aina is more important tha Tammy or Jordan Ibe because of the lack of natural right backs.

ChrisKels:


If Pinnick succeeds in bringing that boy home, then it could be one good thing, just one good thing he ever did for Nigerian football. I read that Tammy's father is Pinnick's bosom friend. They grew up together in Warri just like iwobi and akpom grew up together at Hale End Academy. They are more like brothers from different parents and Pinnick said Tammy is like a son to him. He said Tammy is secured already that when we are ready(not when Tammy is ready), his papers wll be processed.

I wanna see him battle for a starting shirt with Osimhen next year. The era of misfiring strikers(I no call names o) is coming to an abrupt end.

Players that might debut for Eagles next year include ; Musa Yahaya, Ovie Ejaria, Chidozie Awaziem, Victor Osimhen, Orji Okonkwo, the Nwakali brothers and of course Tammy Abraham.

Awua of intermilan, Nuru of Roma, Olumola of SOTON, forgiveness' Tyrone of Denhag are also waxing strong. IMO
