Ex-U-17 Star: Troost-Ekong Is Overrated,
Leon Balogun Is The Real Deal




Former Nigeria U-17 World Cup winner Daniel
Joshua says Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong is suspect despite his fine performances for the team in their recent qualifiers.


Ekong has formed a formidable partnership with Leon Balogun in the heart of Nigeria’s defence, but Joshua who won the U-17 World Cup for Nigeria in 2007 as a defender believes Balogun is the brain behind the success of the duo.


”Troost-Ekong is good in his own right but I think he is suspect, he is not entirely convincing with the ball at his feet. Painful to say but I think he is overrated,” he told Owngoalnigeria.com.


”Balogun is the real deal, a complete footballer,
good with or without the ball. He is a defender’s
defender while Troost-Ekong is a cultured, old
school centre back, pace, power and aerial ability. No real finesse.

”They are working well anyway. I like the
nickname “Oyibo Wall”, it gives their partnership
confidence to do more. But a suitable back-up is
needed for the duo. Gernot Rohr would be
worried in the event of one getting injured”.

All these failed footballers that can't see anything good in those doing well. Na wa. How is Ekong overrated, abeg? He thinks it's easy to be the finest defender in the Scandinavia to the extent that a German tactician could say that he is above the level of clubs like Gent. He should keep quiet!

”He has a high sense of positional awareness, very adept in getting into goal scoring positions. He reminds me of a young Van Nistelrooy, always lurking. He is yet to score but that is only a matter of time”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

He should keep quiet!

Like seriously.... Looollll I wonder why they took Joshua Daniel so seriously. Truth is this just shows that sometimes no matter how good you do, if someone dont rate you, then they dont.

I'm still surprised Ekong has a lotta haters... Looolll

Akin to a young Ruud boy? Hmmmm.....

I'm not giving up on you Awoniyi... I'm not... Come on, You got so much talent in you!!! Somehow, I believe you'll come good eventually. Just a matter of time...

forgiveness:


I spoke as a Christian, I am sorry for that. I should have said it better.

Every human being is privileged...

I know Azubuike is good, so was Emmanuel Sani but no more bringing players to the National team based on past glory. He must deserve it.

We have better DMFs that are not in the national team. We should be inviting those ones.

Dutch Journalist Wax Lyrical Over Liverpool
Loanee Awoniyi- He Is Like A Young Van Nistelrooy



Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi has earned the
praises of respected Dutch journalist Jermain
Leitbig for his performance for his loan side NEC
Nijmegen even though he is yet to score.


19 year old Awoniyi joined the Dutch side on loan from Liverpool in the summer after a less fruitful spell with German side FSV Frankfurt, who were relegated to the third division at the end of last season.


Awoniyi who scored just once from 13 games for Freiburg is yet to get off the mark for NEC
Nijmegen but Jermain has seen enough to judge
his future, if he develops as expected.


So far he has played 8 games for NEC Nijmegen
and Jermain who has watched six of his games,
says he reminds him of legendary Dutch striker
Ruud Van Nistelrooy during his formative years.

It is the same thing that we have been saying about Awoniyi for a long time. Gets himself into great positions but misses so many chances.

forgiveness:


I wonder how you analyse your own Football!

Necessity is the mother of invention. This is the case of Carl Ikeme or are you not aware?

I don't need to explain because you know.

Shehu Abdullahi case is different because we have better players playing in his position currently. How can you not understand that?

Sone Aluko plays for England second division which is even far better than Cypriot first division where Shehu Abdullahi plays. That is too low for the National team. Abeg.

Sone-aluko should continue to be the best in the Championship then he will get a call.

Currently, he is the best in the Championship and that alone will get him noticed....

Your analyses should be devoid of bias judgments.

SHEHU ABDULLAHI SHOULD FORGET THE NATIONAL TEAM JERSEY AND THEY SHOULD STOP GIVEN HIM A CALL.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah but not during his on-fire spells... He did great in his early days with the U-20s at the super six and the AYC and with the U-23s when he rescued our sorry asses in Zambia.

It's true what the dutch journalist sees is what we have always seen in Awoniyi but then I see more. Like Sir Chrisooblog just pointed out, Awoniyi indeed reminds me much more of a Yekini. He just need to get his "confidence" back and step into "the zone" again.

Osimhen reminds me of a Drogba/Weah. Success is a beast. Iheanacho looks like a messi/griezmann kinda player. He's unique in his own way.

Awoniyi? He is the closest we have to Yekini.

joseph1013:


Idowu plays Right-Back, Right Midfield and Left Midfield. But he can't play DMF. See attached image. So he can't replace Shehu directly.

Tiago Ilori plays only Centre-back. See attached image. He doesn't play RB and DMF. Even if he can play, Ilori has not played a single match since September 2015.

Try again.

EXCLUSIVE: Anichebe To Meet With Super
Eagles Coach In London, Could Earn Recall For Senegal Friendly





Victor Anichebe has been handed a lifeline by
manager of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr, who
will meet with the Sunderland forward in England to hold talks with him over his international career with Nigeria.


Rohr confirmed that he will be visiting London to meet with the father of Chelsea teen defender Ola Aina over the player’s international future.

He will also meet up with Anichebe according to reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com.


In 2013, Anichebe put his international career
with Nigeria on hold, citing neglect after picking
up an injury during one of the team’s game. He
however made a u-turn a year later but his
patchy club form denied him any chance of a
recall.


Before putting his international career on hold he played 11 games for Nigeria and scored four
goals, no thanks to injuries which restricted him
to few games for his club West Brom before he
was released at the end of the season,


The Sunderland forward has experienced an
upturn in fortunes since his move to the Stadium of light, where David Moyes the man who gave him his breakthrough at Everton is coach.


He scored his first goal in over a year in the
English Premier League shortly before the league went on break for international games, netting in the 2-1 win over AFC Bournemouth.

In other words, that is the balance we are talking about.

Even when he was 'on fire', he was missing guilt edge chances....At a higher level, you only have few chances to score.

Nigeria's Elderson (right) tries to stop Riyad Mahrez of Algeria in Uyo

TheSuperNerd:
Well, Echiejile did great in the last game and did keep Mahrez quiet from the flanks... Also had some good help from Victor Moses. I also remember a super block from Balogun from a mahrez attempted cross-shot on the left side within the 18-yard box after Mahrez's silky step-overs.

In all, he was very good on the day. He stood his ground like a soldier, fought and won. The "mahrez fear" was destroyed. It was rather Brahimi who was busy skinning Omeruo who did a great job dusting himself up and kept going. Brahimi is wicked!


I believe he (Echiejile) needs "tougher NOT tough" competition to ensure he keeps his level high.

Honestly we need quality cover in the leftback position. We're well stocked with options on the right as the likes of Idowu, Ebuehi, Iorfa Jnr, Moses Odubajo etc will still come in. What about the left??
.......................................................................
ELDERSON'S EAGLES POSITION UNDER
THREAT - OFFICIAL






Besides the problematic Eagles right fullback
position, the left back occupied by Elderson
Echiejile is also under threat, officials have hinted.

“Rohr has admitted his fullbacks still lack the
mental strength needed for tougher challenges
and that perhaps explains the special drilling
Elderson Echiejile got before the game with
Algeria,” disclosed a team official.

“The left back position is also under serious
scrutiny, just like the right back.”
The 28-year-old Elderson has manned the left
back in Rohr’s first three matches.


He has played three matches for Belgian club
Standard Liege on loan from Monaco, but his last league game was in a 3-1 loss at KV Oostende on October 30.


Rohr has already announced he is shopping for
players for these positions.
