He said I made "a fat lie" (called me a fat liar) for stating a fact "without evidence". So I had to "show evidence" to show who the "big fat liar" actually is...

Mickael2: Sir, honestly I don't rate Onazi. His wayward passes are way too infuriating. People always tell us how workaholic he is, but my question is the use of him winning possession and lose it immediately due his inability to give a simple pass? Worst of all he ain't disciplined and he fails to understand his role too. I rate Azubuike okechukwu even higher... U saw younger Ndidi doing his job as though he was a veteran today right? That's what he does week in week out, if u had been following the Belgian league. That's typical of a good DMF 2 Likes |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 12:17am On Oct 21, 2016 |
Hmmm... If Onazi is indeed injured, I wonder about the "seriousness" and extent of the injury. We need him against Algeria coz of his synergy with Mikel but like Sir Mickael2 have always pointed out, A Younger, faster and more dynamic Wilfred Ndidi can still step in and make Onazi "not missed at all"..... But shaa... Make we no rush decisions ooo.... Onazi has been great, so far, at Trabzonspor shaa... One of their very top players. BascoVanVeli: |

I also saw some moments of the Roma vs Austria Wien fixture and Olarenwaju Kayode was quite menacing I must say.... He even got a goal... A brilliant strike to tie the game at 3-3 and behold that is how it ended. Kayode impressed today (that's yesterday being october 20th). The lad's not joking in austria I must confess. |

Check out live commentary from goal.com 83'GOOOOOOAAAAAALLL! GOOOAAAALLL FOR GENK! A screamer from Ndidi! A cross is floated into the Athletic box from the right flank and Iturraspe vigilantly gets up to clear out of the danger area. However, it only goes as far as the 19-year-old Nigerian, who smashes a terrific half-volley into the top left corner! His performance has deserved that goal! Two-nil. 69'Genk have been very impressive so far this evening and you can see how they managed to overcome Sassuolo at home in the previous match at the Cristal Arena. Ndidi in particular has been excellent in midfield, controlling the game with ease against this out-of-sorts Basque outfit. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 12:53am On Oct 21, 2016 |
This lad is giving every other challenger (Esiti, Azubuike, Chidiebere Nwakali, etc) to Nigeria's DMF role currently occupied by Onazi the "strong" jitters.... Ndidi has shown that striking the ball from distance around areas outside or within the box or meters from goal is now a key part of his game. Also, he's a true midfield enforcer I remember the words of theGoodJoe when Ndidi first scored a "rifler" last season in the Belgian Pro league title playoffs.... That strike that travelled at 111km/hr... TheGoodJoe said (not in exact manner but this was his central message): "In Ndidi, we may just have discovered the true heir to Oliseh's throne" ChrisKels: 1 Like |

Latest Injury Setback Halt Nigeria Plans For Hull City Odubajo Moses Odubajo who plays for English Premier League outfit Hull City will spend more times on the sidelines, after the club confirmed that the 22 year old, who is reportedly high on the list of players, Nigeria plan to open talks with about a switch of allegiance to the Super Eagles has suffered a set back in his rehabilitation from the injury he picked up before the start of the season. Odubajo who can operate on both flanks as a defender has represented England at youth levels but a switch to Nigeria is well on the cards after officials of the Nigeria Football Federation confirmed they had positive talks with him over a switch. However the statements release by Hull City on their official website means, he will have to wait a little longer before making his mind up on a choice between Nigeria and England. Statement: The Tigers can confirmed they were dealt a disappointing injury blow yesterday when Moses Odubajo was ruled out for an estimated six months with a fractured patella. The full-back, who had been making excellent strides on his comeback following dislocating his patella in the summer, picked the injury up in a non-contact incident whilst in training. Moses was assessed by surgeons in London yesterday who stated the player would be required to undergo more surgery to stabilise the fracture and this will be undertaken early next week. Positively, the 23-year-old’s knee ligaments remain intact, including the MPFL reconstruction he had in the summer. The Club, staff and players wish Moses a full and speedy recovery from this latest setback.

Olarenwaju Kayode Breaks The Heart Of Roma Fans With Equaliser In Six Goal Thriller Former Nigeria junior international Olarenwaju Kayode scored one of the goals for Austrian side Austria Wien, as they recovered from going behind twice to draw 3-3 with Italian giants AS Roma. Raphael Holzhauser gave the Austrians a shock lead in the 16th minute but two goals from Egyptian-born super star Stephan El Shaarawy ensured Roma went into the half time break leading 2-1. A third from Alessandro Florenzi gave them a 3-1 lead, nine minutes after the half hour mark and at that point, the Italians appear to be cruising to a routine win over their visitors. However, a goal eight minute from time by Dominik Prokop gave Austria Wien a life line and Kayode ensured they return back home with a share of the spoils with a strike two minutes later to bring scores to 3-3. The goal is his fourth in the Europa league, after finding the back of the net with a brace against Kukesi and another against Rosenborg. However overall he has seven goals this season with three other goals in the league. 23 year old Kayode scored 13 goals last season in his debut season in Austria, same amount of goal he scored in his final season in Israel before his move in 2015.

Hamburg Target Ndidi Scores Spectacular Goal To Hand Genk Victory Over Bilbao Super Eagles defender Wilfred Ndidi re- enacted his penchant for scoring spectacular goals, with another to add to his collections in Genk 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League. A reported target for Hamburg, Ndidi won the award for the best goal scored in the top flight league in Belgium last season, a screamer against Club Brugge. Just when it appears like the former Nigeria junior international has forgotten where the back of the net. He reminded fans of Genk of his undoubted quality with a goal in the 83rd minute in their Europa league tie with Spanish side Bilbao to round up a 2-0 victory. Ndidi got his latest worldie from over 30 yards, with a shot using the outside of his foot much to the admiration of the spectators who gave him a standing ovation after the strike. Overall, he put in a hard shift in the game playing as a defensive midfielder by breaking up the opposition play and turning them into attack for his team, against the highly rated Spaniards.

ONAZI DRAGS LAZIO TO FIFA OVER UNPAID SALARIES Nigeria international Ogenyi Onazi has asked Fifa to intervene in a dispute with his former club Lazio who he says owe him two months’ salary. The 23-year-old left Lazio for Turkish side Trabzonspor in August. “We have no option but to go to Fifa to ask the disciplinary committee to act on Lazio’s refusal to pay me,” Onazi told BBC Sport. “My agent and lawyer have written to Lazio, but after two months we have heard nothing from the club.” Onazi, who spent five years at Lazio and scored seven goals in 110 appearances, added: “We all conclude that the only ideal thing to do is to approach Fifa to enable me get what I worked for.” A Lazio official, who declined to be named, told BBC Sport that the club would not comment on the matter.

Oasis007:You sir have earned my respect. The tribalist tag accusation has been going on for too long and like they say, say it enough times and people will start to believe it. It's unfortunate. To say even 'newcomers' call him that is just uncalled for. I don't feel he is a bigot, and it's amazing that he's never lost his cool for being called that. |

ChrisKels: my brother, you deserve a hug. I have been saying the same thing, what is the use of winning possession if you will lose it almost immediately? well they said it a because of his synergy with Mikel but then Casemiro came into the real Madrid midfield midway through last season and he still got along well with Modric and Kroos so synergy is just a lame excuse. Ndidi was playing like Busquets yesterday, even better I must add, so why is he sitting on the bench for a Lazio reject? No offence |

I think this report carries a more explicit explanation. Get well soon Odubajo... ....................................................................... NIGERIA TARGET ODUBAJO HIT BY ANOTHER INJURY SETBACK, OUT FOR 6 MONTHS Nigeria target Moses Odubajo has suffered yet another injury setback in training and he will be out for six months after he fractured his Patella. The Hull City defender has been scouted by Nigeria’s Super Eagles for the problematic right fullback position. Last year, he made six appearances for the England U20s. Odubajo suffered the serious knee injury during a non-contact incident in training, Premier League newcomers Hull confirmed in a statement on Thursday. While Odubajo's knee ligaments remain intact, the 23-year-old will undergo surgery next week to stabilise the fracture. It is another blow for the swash-bucking fullback, who was on the comeback trail after dislocating his patella during the off-season.

TheSuperNerd: simple and short. for me, Azubuike should be the sub for Ndidi sef, Onazi should be our utility player, you know the kind you sub in when you are winning a game to sure up your midfield. not that I hate him, I love him actually but his recent performances just depict one fact, He fights a lot but the form is no longer there. we are in an era were defensive midfielders need to be able to create opportunities and or score, He does neither. |

Last I checked, there was never a time I lost.... But it's never about winning an argument for me. It's about you watching who you term "fat liar". It's about "Truth". So watch it.... Tammy was more prolific than solanke in youth football sef... (he played similar quantity of matches like solanke so why not use him then... Why nacho who played far far less) Nacho played far lesser matches than both in youth football at man city and had a great goal ratio also.... so saying one is more prolific than Nacho when Nacho played less than 12 games and one of either Tammy or Solanke played over 30 games is not a true statement at all. Trying hard to salvage something for your solanke.... How funny... *smiles* Happy #Trolling dude forgiveness: |

BascoVanVeli: I only saw him once and the impression I got wasn't bad. He can play on both back wings and he seems to love overlapping. His records show he can also score. But he needs to build his physical shape if he wants to play well against a physical attacker. Anyway, I just want us to cap before he becomes another Dele and Alaba. Who knows? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 8:39am On Oct 21, 2016 |
Mickael2: Azubuike is not yet in the mix. He is not better than Esiti. Esiti and Mikel Agu first.. I think we can play Mikel, Onazi and Esiti/Ndidi for the away games against Algeria and Cameroon. Just to solidify the midfield. For home games Mikel, onazi and iheanacho will give a better attacking edge. Personally, i prefer my defensive midfielders to defend, i don't want to see them too far forward. |
