To me the ref seemed poor. We had 2 players injured but we got the only 3 yellow cards. |

I don't know what you mean by fake but Iwobi struggled against Senegal... even though he had a one or two flashes of brilliance. Simon too was not so impactful (even though he made a few runs and dribbles). Kayode did good within the limited time he featured. He wasn't poor naa... did I report him as poor? no naa.... apart from his missed sitter (Iheanacho even missed more chances), He did great in attack with limited time. And thanks ooooo..... "Market" well.... market is fine.... ![]() ![]() forgiveness: |

Onazi always seem to be the target of Super Eagles opponents in physical duels.... it was Matuidi at the World cup... now it is Ndoye (I think?) just last night....

maidaboi:That's a myth. Senegal do not have better players than we do. Apart from Mane and to an extent Koulibaly I don't think I will pick anyone in their squad out of the lot. Keita Balde have not gotten to the height his career promised as a teenager in Lazio. Henri Saviet used to be tagged the new Eto'o when he represented France at the U17 world cup. Seriously, I don't get the hype about Senegal. Even the much talked about Mane have not completed his first season at Liverpool. He's still building a reputation for himself gradually. As far as am concerned Caf got it wrong nominating him for the APOY. Salah should have been in company with Mahrez and Aubameyang not Mane. |

Mickael2:I've read through some minute by minute account of the game from various sources and from what I gathered Onazi was heralded for playing a captain's game till he got injured.

Senegal 1-1 Nigeria : Players Rating – MOTM Ndidi, Iwobi Flops, Top Marks For Ogu, Success & Iheanacho ![]() The Super Eagles of Nigeria yesterday maintained their unbeaten run under coach Gernot Rohr by forcing the Teranga Lions of Senegal to a 1-1 draw in a friendly game played in London yesterday. Owngoalnigeria.com's Michael James who watched the game live on behalf of this football portal gives his ratings on the performances of the Super Eagles players at The Hive Stadium. Daniel Akpeyi – Could and should have done better in dealing with the corner kick which lead to the only goal scored by the Senegalese. Made some routine saves but looks unconvincing when it comes to reading corner kicks….. 6/10 Kenneth Omeruo – Preferred ahead of newly invited Tyroone Ebuehi to start at right back, and the on loan Chelsea man didn’t disappoint despite playing out of position. He was very solid in defending but added nothing in terms of joining the attack even when he had the chance…..6.5/10 Elderson Echiejile – Solid display, his best performance in a Super Eagles shirt for a while. Picked up a booking for a needful foul in the second half as Senegal threatened on the counter. One major flaw was his failure to join the attack owing to his abilities to whip in crosses…..7/10 Leon Balogun – Commander in Chief of the Eagles backline. Continued his “Oyibo Wall” partnership with William Troost Ekong at the heart of Nigeria defence,can partly be blamed for Moussa Sow’s goal. However the Mainz 05 man brings about calm, assuredness and organisation to the Eagles defence…..7/10. William Troost Ekong – Very solid in duels, especially aerial battles although he looks unconvincing with the ball at his feet. Grew into the game in the second half and his physical edge helped him in putting Senegal’s front men in check…..7.5/10 Ogenyi Onazi – The stand in captain lasted just 25 minutes, no thanks to a knee kick to his back which lead to his substitution. For the period he was on, he displayed a willingness to get stuck in and didn’t shy away from physical duels…..4/10 Wilfred Ndidi (Man of The Match)- His touches ooze class, very solid in defending and quick in turning defence into attack, provoked memories of former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh with the way he marshaled the midfield. Ndidi’s passing range has also improved beyond imagination in such a short time. Head and shoulders above every player on the pitch last night…..9/10 Alex Iwobi – Had a game to forget for Nigeria as he was guilty of giving away possession cheaply, and struggled to cope with the physical nature of the game. Was rightly substituted by coach Gernot Rohr in the second half…..5.5/10 Moses Simon – Came to life late into the first half when Nigeria dominated the game, did a whole lot of job defensively for his team, and troubled Senegal with his pace and dribbling abilities. Overall didn’t do too badly but can obviously do better…..7/10 Ahmed Musa – Kept aside all the drama that saw him relinquish his role as deputy captain of the team before the game, to deliver a very solid performance on the right for Nigeria. Used his pace to good effect at both ends of the pitch but finally ball often let him down. Substituted after picking a knock….. 7/10 Kelechi Iheanacho – Tucked the penalty that leveled scores for Nigeria with a shrug, guilty of denying Nigeria a clear chance to win the game when he opt to shoot where a pass would have seen Isacc Success tuck the ball into an empty net late into time added on. Showed quick feet to win the penalty which he converted and his deliveries from free kicks was another angle which caught the eyes…..7.5/10 Substitutes: John Ogu – Big man, who thrives and loves aerial duels, helped Nigeria gained momentum following his introduction for the injured Onazi after 25 minutes. Combined nicely with Ndidi in the midfield, and shielded the defence from pressure. Ogu had his best game in a while for the Eagles, he looks very fit and mobile for his height and big frame…..8/10 Oghenekaro Etebo – Had Nigeria’s first attempt on target, loves to shoot and wants to always get on the ball. His introduction added pace and urgency to the attack of Nigeria which helped Iheanacho to drag Senegal defenders out of position with his runs behind the defence…..6.5/10 Olarenwaju Kayode – Brought in Pace, strength and determination to help out in defence and attack. Wasted a glorious header from ten yards to score, still did enough to earn a rating higher than average….. 6/10 Isaac Success – Beaten to the man of the match award by Wifred Ndidi by just a fraction. The Watford man showed he has what it takes to be a regular in this team. He went past Sengalese defenders with his mesmerising step overs, power and pace. Gave Kalidou Koulibaly a lot to worry about with his forays from the right. If only he can stay fit he will definitely be a regular in this team…..8.5/10 *Michael James reporting from London Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/24/senegal-1-1-nigeria-players-rating-motm-ndidi-iwobi-flops-top-marks-for-ogu-success-iheanacho/ 3 Likes |

TheSuperNerd:Good to know Akpeyi was in good form. We need a strong deputy for Ikeme since its almost a given we rely on him because of illness. I hope Akpeyi gets to play the next game. He needs all the confidence he can get before the Afcon qualifiers. I hope to see him start against South Africa, am sure he will be geared up and extra motivated to shut out the Bafana. Iwobi really need to get his head back in the game. I don't want to believe his latina girlfriend is responsible for his slide in form. |

Alex Iwobi tells Arsenal fans to show more respect to Arsene Wenger - and insists players are behind him Sections of the Arsenal support have protested against Wenger's reign but the boss is expected to sign a new contract Alex Iwobi has told Arsenal fans that they need to show some respect to Arsene Wenger. The under-pressure Gunners chief is set to announce his decision on whether he will sign a new contract at the Emirates. "They need to have a bit more respect in my opinion," Iwobi told the Daily Mail. "I mean, he's been at the club for 20 years, he's achieved a lot, obviously they're a bit impatient with the results and where they want to finish. "We also want to finish there, we want to win the league like anyone else, I can guarantee we are trying our hardest. "Whatever happens we are the players, we affect the result. We don't really look at the banners or what fans are screaming, we focus on trying to do our jobs on the pitch." The Gunners are at serious risk of missing out on the top four for the first time since 1996 as they currently sit sixth in the standings. They are six points adrift of fourth-place Liverpool, but have two games in hand. Arsenal still have to come up against some of their closest rivals before the end of this season, with Manchester City, Tottenham, Manchester United and Everton games still to be played. |

I agree with you on wanting Akpeyi to star in the next game on Monday. Ikeme have nothing more to prove to us... he is our no.1 by far now.... but Akpeyi needs to build on his good showing against Senegal. As for Iwobi and his love life.... maybe Our Lady, Safarigirl can help us out as she knows what Iwobi is usually up to on snapchats et al... she is more like our eagle eye on Iwobi .... ![]() But you are right.... Iwobi will respond to your charge.... most times I don't worry when Iwobi flops because I know he always come back stronger... and does so sooner too..... the lad has a fantastic mentality.... ![]() goldfish80: |

Well.... About Ezenwa.... hmmmm.... too bad we can only have one goalie between the sticks per game... but if Rohr is aligned to your thoughts to try out Ezenwa against the burkinabe then expect Akpeyi to make way but I feel Akpeyi should start for momentum's sake. Ikeme should be rested even if declared fit... June is not far off... and we are approaching the end of the football season. tbaba1234: |

I got it from a source that was at first hard to access and now It will take me time to recall.... but then I saw it again on cybereagles forum... here is the Link to the discussion... Mikel's 37th assist came against Algeria. ![]() http://forum.cybereagles.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=276276 The analyst there provided no links or source.... I believe a proper dissection of all of Mikel's games in the green and white will confirm it for sure but at the time I dropped the info... it was pretty authentic to me.... just hard to recover the source. Mind you, Mikel has like 78 caps now for The Super Eagles.... I didn't include the Olympic team ooo.... just the Super Eagles.... Certitude: 2 Likes |

safarigirl: So where do u want Iheanacho to play. Or better still Suggest ur preferred front line. As for the Yekini-Iheanacho talk. IMO it is still too early to make that comparison. There are several uncertainties in football. Let Iheanacho hit the 20 goal mark first. Then we assess the possibility. 1 Like |
