If Amuzie makes it, then no wahala..... I haven't seen any signs that he might. But let's see... But eyes must remain on Debayo and Akiotu in the long run for our leftback options. Anumudu is still far from ready. We seem to have an abundance of talented options in the rightback role now who play first team football but for leftback.... Hmmm.... They are scarce. tbaba1234: 1 Like |

Sir Joseph1013 have already dropped Sir Alex's "Iwobi" quote... So lemme just drop it as news... ![]() ........................................................................ Sir Alex Ferguson Speaks On The Rise Of Arsenal Forward Iwobi ![]() Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson admits he’s been ‘impressed’ with Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi this season. The 20-year-old emerged from the Gunners’ academy last season and became a first-team regular towards the end of the last campaign. The Nigerian forward is yet to score this term but he’s helped transform the Gunners’ play this season with Arsene Wenger’s side playing a more typical free-flowing brand of football than supporters have seen in the last few years. And Ferguson admits he’s been impressed with the youngster, who he believes has helped to make Wenger’s side title rivals this term. You shouldn’t forget Arsenal [in the title race],’ Ferguson told Kicker. ‘The team is more sturdy. They’ve got better and more aggressive. I’m impressed with the young boy Alex Iwobi.’ *Culled from Metro Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/28/sir-alex-ferguson-speaks-on-the-rise-of-arsenal-forward-iwobi/ |

TheGoodJoe:Conte axed Mikel from his team because of some footballing reasons not because of Olympics. Remember, Conte was quoted taxing Mikel to come back with the Olympics gold medal. I don't believe he would send such a good will message if he had grouse with Mikel leaving for Brazil. Mikel still has good number of years at the top level ahead of him. Thank goodness his game is not about high intensity, pressing and pace, traits which dissappear with age. A decent club can pull a coup getting Mikel for little or no transfer fee and get the best out of him for a good number of years |

TheSuperNerd: Imagine! Fejiri! Who sabi d lad? We are talking about a player who has already pledged his allegiance to the National team, he is going about looking for an unknown player who is not even ready to play for us. Sometimes e bi like say dey no know wetin dem suppose do. Otigba ought to have been called to the National team long ago but it seems there's something is fishy about the whole thing. Hopefully, he keeps playing well to get noticed by the coach. |

Even when Jose mourinho almost got Chelsea relegated accusing fingers were instead pointed at Emenalo by the daily mail.

NFF Waiting On Super Eagles Coach To Submit List Of Invited Players For WCQ Vs Algeria. Super Eagles manager Genort Rohr is expected to submit the list of players he intends to invite for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria this weekend, contrary to the names being bandied about by the local press. The German tactician was in the United Kingdom on Tuesday and Wednesday to hold discussions with English-based trio Obi Mikel, Isaac Success and Odion Ighalo about the match with the North Africans in Uyo. "We have heard so many names but honestly the Coach has not sent the list yet until this weekend, ” a Nigeria Football Federation insider told allnigeriasoccer.com. “He just finished his trip to the United Kingdom and will conclude his list before sending to us. "With the Nigeria Professional Football League on recess, it is common knowledge that majority of the players thatwill be invited for the crucial World Cup qualifier are foreign-based stars.Ifeanyi Emmanuel. http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=20881 |

Nigeria: Musa Vows to Keep His Place in Eagles Team Super Eagles defender Musa Mohammed says he's not taking his invitation to the senior national team for granted because he knows what is needed from him in order to maintain a place in Gernot Rohr's team. Eagles' Technical Adviser, Rohr in a recent interview stated that players who do not play regular football in their respective clubs might not be invited for the crunch encounter against Algeria in Uyo echoing Former Shooting Stars attacker Adegoke Adelabu's call that fringe players at their respective teams should be ignored for the mammoth tie considering the high stakes. Musa, who has found it difficult to break into Istanbul Basaksehir FK's first team since his highly celebrated move last season is of the opinion that he'll continue to work hard in order to remedy the situation which is looking to affect his international career. "I know what's needed and I'm doing my best in training sessions and when called upon in games but sometimes decisions of this sort are out of the player's hand, the coaches consider a whole lot of other factors to reach a decision," Musa told DailyTrust in a chat. According to Adelabu, players who see action regularly for their club sides will definitely be fitter and in a better frame of mind competitively compared to bench warmers. "The most important thing for the match against Algeria is for the coach to invite only players playing regular football in their clubs because these set of players will be already fit for the match and can cope with the rigours of the match," he said. "There are many players home and abroad who are regulars for their clubs. They should be the players wearing the national colours," the ex 3SC star noted.

NFF President Pinnick Reveals Information On Russian Born Nigerian Idowu, Shed More Light On Plans To Lure Chelsea Tammy Abraham And Liverpool Ejaria To The Super Eagles ![]() President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has reacted to reports about Nigeria’s plan to lure England youth international duo Tammy Abraham of Chelsea and Ovie Ejaria of Liverpool. The NFF supremo also took time out to speak on the chances of Russian born Nigerian Brian Idowu playing for the Super Eagles. The duo of Abraham and Ejaria have represented England at youth level but Nigeria is keen on luring them to play for the senior national team, owing to their fine form for their respective sides, with Ejaria now firmly established as a first team player at Liverpool while Abraham has taken the Championship by storm where he is on loan to Bristol City from Chelsea. ”We are working on a lot of possibilities in that direction but our focus right now is to qualify for the World Cup 2018 in Russia. Tammy Abraham is not an immediate priority as we have loads of options upfront but he is one we are in contact with for the future” He said. ”Ejaria case is for the Technical Adviser Mr. Gernot Rohr to decide, If he says he wants him, then we will expedite actions regarding his switch of allegiance to the Super Eagles”. He was however specific on Brian Idowu, who as reported by Owngoalnigeria.com has been called up to the team by Rohr, who wants competition for his full backs and view the 24 year old Amkar Perm defender as a positive addition. ”We are in touch with Brian Idowu already. His case is less complex and has the approval of the Technical Adviser.” Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/10/28/nff-president-pinnick-reveals-information-on-russian-born-nigerian-idowu-shed-more-light-on-plans-to-lure-chelsea-tammy-abraham-and-liverpool-ejaria-to-the-super-eagles/ 1 Like |

Nice contribution Sir.... ![]() But thing is with the likes of Ebuehi and Idowu (two regulars in their fullback roles for their club's first teams) and also a few more to look forward to in both the right and left back roles for the long run (Musa Mohammed-whenever he sorts out his club issues, Iorfa Jnr, Ehizibue, Josh Debayo, Jason Akiotu, Moses Odubajo-who's out for six months, etc), then the 3-4-3 will have to wait.... ![]() I still fancy the idea of a 3-4-3 as one of our many formation options based on match situations or opposition. But as our main formation, I don't think so. ![]() alkanes1: |

alkanes1: you want to play Echejile as a LWB? Ok that's actually funny sha,speed? Zero, Marking abilities? Zero, ability to take on defenders? Zero, sorry but he just can't do that. Iwobi will be wasted as a winger. There is a big difference between a LMF(which is what Iwobi plays) and a LWF which is what u want him to play and I doubt if he can manage the second. Also Iheanacho might be wasted there but he can manage sha |

TheSuperNerd: the 3-4-3 can work for us, brilliantly too. You do not necessarily need two wingbacks for a 3-4-3, it depends on the kind of 3-4-3 you want to play. Like Barca under Pep would adjust to Abidal-Pique-Mascherano defence, with Alves pushing not into a midfield position but as a winger and Messi comes into the midfield instead so there will be literally no need for wingbacks. We can do that too since we have Omeruo-Ekong-Balogun as 3 good Cbs, Victor Moses can play that Alves role, but if we want to play the dual wingback formation then we might have a problem. Conversely we could play a 3-5-2, leon-Ekong-omeruo moses-Ndidi-onazi-Iwobi Mikel Iheanacho-Ighalo. I included Onazi there and positioned him beside Iwobi because Onazi is mobile and he will be the acting LB whenever we lose possession and Ndidi will be the standing DMF. |

SHOCKER: Rohr Calls Up Victor Osimhen, Drops Esiti And Igiebor, Obaboana On Standby For Algeria Tie image Ahead of Nigeria’s Russia World Cup 2018 qualifiers game against Algeria, Owngoalnigeria.com can reveal more shock names included by manager Gernot Rohr for the November 12 tie in Uyo. Once again, the ever reliable Muyiwa Lawal, whose twitter handle goes by the name @muyiwalawal, revealed to Owngoalnigeria.com the changes made to the list by the German coach. Gent of Belgium powerhouse Anderson Esiti and Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Nosa Igiebor have both been dropped with the manager handing a recall to John Ogu, who has been in fine form for Hapoel Be’er Sheva. ” Apparently Rohr wasn’t satisfied by Esiti in the game against Zambia and Nosa has not truly lived up to expectation, the two times he has been called up. They are both not in the list but I can confirm to you that John Ogu made the list” @muyiwalawal said in a chat. He also revealed that Wolfsburg super teen Victor Osimhen was handed a shock recall by the coach after missing out on selection for the previous tie against Zambia in Ndola. Meanwhile Godfrey Obaboana has been placed on standby as Rohr is yet to decide between the Turkish based central defender and Granada of Spain Uche Agbo. |
