TheSuperNerd: After what we say from the young players, I hope Guardiola give more playing time. Players like Angelino and Adarabioyo. The future looks bright. Aleix Garcia is an artist. I understand why Guardiola said dropping him from the Champions League was hard. |

goldfish80: Very fake. Chalobah was awful. So benching Mikel who did well for Chelsea, I think the man-of-the-match against Crystal Palace. One of the best players of the Olympics and a player in fine form for his country, shows how monstrous Conte is when it comes to thwarting players international careers for his selfish benefits. |

TheGoodJoe: Conte announced that Mikel was injured before the Zambian game. Unlike Moses, Mikel did not take the bait. It would have been easy for him to accept what the coach said and stayed behind, Maybe he would have been back in the team in some capacity. 1 Like 1 Share |

Algeria want Phillippe Trousierre (now a Muslim and called Omar). If they think the guy has a clue about Nigerian football, then they are not serious. We just MUST win our 3 home matches to qualify. |

Peace has returned to the supporters club and we are happy for that,” declared supporters’ club boss Vincent Okumagba, who has personally sponsored the country’s fans’ club. “We did not go to Zambia because of the wranglings in the supporters club so as not to distract the team. “Nigeria will be at Russia 2018 and so they will get total support from us to achieve that. We plan that at least 500 registered supporters will be in Uyo to cheer the Eagles to victory. “We will energise the players for them to go and do Nigeria proud.” Elections of new leaders of the supporters club has been fixed for December 10 and Okumagba said he is confident of victory. “I hope to return as national chairman with a landslide victory when we do the elections because I have something to offer after 20 years in the club,” he said.

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria Nigeria Premier League 2016 Norway Lillestrom top official amazed by Ifeanyi Matthew quick adaptation in Norway [/size] Lillestrom sports director Torgeir Bjarmann has revealed he has been amazed by how quick Ifeanyi Matthew has adapted to Norwegian football, while also gushing the class of the Nigeria midfielder. Ifeanyi Matthew, 19, has made six appearances and scored two goals for Lillestrom since he moved from Kano Pillars in August. “What has most surprised my about (Ifeanyi) Matthew is how fast he has adapted to football in Norway,” said the Lillestrom sports director. “Most players often find it difficult to integrate because the football is usually different, but Matthew has been different.” Bjarmann equally spoke in glowing terms about the quality of the midfielder, who featured at this year’s CHAN in Rwanda. “He’s intelligent and plays according to the coach’s instructions, dribbles well, scores goals, his shots are clean, he is versatile and a great passer of the ball,” remarked the top Lillestrom official. “He makes up for his lack of muscles with all these great qualities. “We have been very impressed with him.” africanfootball.com/news/659035/Lillestrom-top-official-amazed-by-Ifeanyi-Matthew-quick-adaptation-in-Norway [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] New Algeria Coach Boasts: I Will Beat Nigeria In Uyo, I Know Their Weaknesses, Cameroon Are No Threat [/size] According to reports gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com, former coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Philippe Troussier won the race to replace sacked Milovan Rajevac as coach of Algeria, after promising the FA that he will beat Nigeria. Algeria fired Serbian coach Rajevac after drawing 1-1 at home in their first 2018 World Cup qualifiers tie. A result that made the players revolt and subsequently lead to the sack of the coach, just three months and three games into his tenure as coach. Their next group game will be against Nigeria in just over three weeks, hence the FA resorted to appointing a coach who has experience of the African terrain in Troussier, who has handled Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, South Africa and Morocco, aside spells with various club sides on the continent. Frenchman Troussier reportedly told representatives of the Algerian FA during interview for the job, that his knowledge of African football and Nigeria particularly will come handy in Uyo, when both sides meet on the 12th of November. He reportedly promised the FA that he won’t lose the game to Nigeria, if appointed coach of the team. He also went a step further in boasting that his wealth of experience on the African continent will help Algeria beat Cameroon when they meet again. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/27/new-algeria-coach-boasts-i-will-beat-nigeria-in-uyo-i-know-their-weaknesses-cameroon-are-no-threat/ [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] Man City Fans On Twitter: Sergio Kun Aguero Don’t Like Passing To Iheanacho Unlike Leroy Sane [/size] Fans of Manchester City have sparked a war on twitter about their striking duo of Sergio Kun Aguero and Kelechi Iheanacho after their winless run extended to six games following a 0-1 loss to Manchester United. Most of the fans complained about the Argentine not passing the ball to the Nigerian forward, particularly in their weekend 1-1 draw with Southampton, where Iheanacho scored the equaliser after coming on as a substitute. Iheanacho who plays upfront for Manchester City alongside Aguero has an intimidating goal record of 21 goals from 48 appearances since making his debut for the team two season ago. For all of the goals the Nigerian has scored for Manchester City only one has been supplied to him by Aguero, while Leroy Sane who joined the team few months ago, already has same amount of assist for the Nigerian. @Mordybarry wrote, ” #Fact I have never seen aguero ever pass to Iheanacho when he is free”, his submission was backed by another fan @Byron_Smalls who wrote ” On point most City players don’t. #Iheanacho”. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/27/man-city-fans-on-twitter-sergio-kun-aguero-dont-like-passing-to-iheanacho-unlike-leroy-sane/ [/b] |

TheGoodJoe:You like starting an argument in an empty room. Did I say Chalobah is better than mikel? I haven't even watched chalobah play before. My position is that since Chelsea have chalobah ahead of mikel, it simply means they have no plans for Mikel in their team. |

tbaba1234:This is exactly why I said you're arguing this topic with sentiments. Fabregas have been frozen out for the greater part of this season, yet he is fit and he trained well in pre season. Look, Conte is a world class coach. He is known for being thorough and pragmatic. Before he came on board at Chelsea, he must analysed all the players within the club and even those on loan to know who will fit in his team. It's on record he asked about Moses immediately he came to London. Players like Mikel and Fabregas do not fit into his ideology, that's the reason they have been frozen out. Conte knew this from day 1 he is not a charlatan or a physical health education teacher. He is a proper world class coach. 2 Likes |

[b][size=14pt] Nigerian Defender Impresses Chelsea Boss Despite Loss To West Ham [/size] ![]() Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has explained why he named Nigerian defender Ola Aina and England U21 star Nathaniel Chalobah in the starting XI against West Ham in the League Cup on Wednesday night. Despite the 2-1 loss to the Hammers, the Italian manager reckons that his number 34 gave a good account of himself, adding that he wanted to run the rule over the wing-back in a competitive fixture. “I prefer to speak always about the whole team but I think this cup is very important to check the development of these young players, ” said Conte to chelseafc.com. “We have good young players and they need to play. I think the youngsters played a good game with the right intensity and concentration. “When you lose it’s normal to see bad things but tonight I found a lot of positives.” Ola Aina started Chelsea’s 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers in August and was a non-playing substitute versus Leicester City in the League Cup last month.

terzurum5: Why do you refer to him as a Nigerian player? Has he pledged to play for Nigeria? lol. Meanwhile I have been thinking (back to the Iheanacho vs Rashford debate) if I have to pick one player on my team......at the moment it might just be Rashford. The boy is a revelation! I wonder if Iheanacho can play with such a flash to beat markers at the wings. It really is a tough one to decide who is the better player. When it comes to final pass and link up play, Iheanacho may have an edge but when it comes to beating markers and speed, it definitely is Rashford. When it comes to goal scoring...Maybe Iheanacho...but Rashford is jsut brilliant and appealing. He seems to be more pleasant to watch than Iheanaho. |

goldfish80: That is Conte's business if he does not have plans for Mikel. It was you who tried to sell that Conte did not drop Mikel because of the departure for the Olympics. Choosing to play a weaker player over Mikel shows the animosity from Conte is not about selecting a better player but punishing him outside reasons of Chelsea playing better. |
