komekn: Mikel and Ndidi play different roles for the Super Eagles. That is like expecting to see Oliseh as a ball player like Okocha. Or comparing Onazi to Mikel in ball playing. 1 Like |

Sir..... Is there anyone here saying Mikel Obi isn't relevant to the team? or not needed? So you didn't see where our reports labelled Iwobi as poor?? Why are you like this naa....? why? Ndidi was our MOTM yesterday and now you say you said what you said about him only in comparison to Mikel.... isn't that you trying to subtly shift the goalposts a little.... ? Anyway shaa.... I did say Iwobi was poor... happy now? I pointed out Mikel as the man to still man that AMF role for us or more like an AM/CM hybrid... wetin u wan hear again? komekn: |

We can still use Mikel in our team but we have young players like Etebo, Kelechi Nwakali and Iwobi who need to step up to control the creative part of the team. We also have Aluko. Missing Mikel lies in the creative part of the team and not Ndidi. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Help me tell am oooo..... Besides.... Mikel was absent yesterday and we had to play someone as the CMF.... since Iwobi played AMF... We know Ndidi has the potentials to operate as a DMF/CMF kinda midfielder.... were we saying he is a competition for Mikel? how is Ndidi a competition or comparison for Mikel?

You have spoken correctly. Nura Abdullahi is one name I forgot. Ejaria I know is committed to Nigeria. How good is Odubajo? I believe Musa Yahaya will be then next to break into the SE as regards those from the 2013 U17 era. Im sure we will lose a handful of those you mentioned to England. TheSuperNerd: 1 Like |

Gents. There is a pending issue on ground. The team is gradually gelling and even the RB and LB problems we had are gradually being sorted out. The back up goal keeper (for the short term) is also IMO no longer a problem Akpeyi has 3ce proven he is up to the task. Guys! We dnt have a first choice goalie! Ikeme has proven that he cannot be trusted. In the do or die return leg clash against Egypt. He was ruled out. In the crucial 2018 WC qualifiers game against Algeria same happened. And now again in crucial grade A friendly against Senegal he got injured. Na so we go dey continue? We go wan play Cameroun now the guy go injure. Guys lets discuss. We all here are stake holders as far Nigerian football is concerned. Info i got is that for Rohr, his crew and the NFF this was the last straw that broke the Camel's back. What are our options? 1. Call back Enyeama 2. Promote Akpeyi to first choice and make Ikeme a back up. 3. Promote Akpeyi to first choice and stop inviting Ikeme and promote one of the young goalies ti 3rd choice. 4. Some would say we make one of the young goalies first choice. 5. Leave Ikeme as first choice. Any day he is fit he keeps goal else Akpeyi keeps goal. Just like it is presently. 6. Any other option. Knowing that this a decision we need to make before the AFCON qualifiers in june and WC qualifiers in August we need an immediate solution first before thinking of the long term. Lets discuss this burning issue pls. 3 Likes |

ChrisKels: First of all yes I am involved in football but I am not an agent. First assumption wrong I was actively seeking Sunday Mba and Etebor to come to the Premiership. When both were in Warri Wolves. I mentioned Mba before I am accused of tribalism with regards to Etebo. But the red eye hungry guys around them made us withdraw. Yes I go watch Warri Wolves inside Sun for Warri I don't just sit in Protea hotel. Let's equate the Bundesliga 2, is it Superior to the Championship or even League one. It's open to debate. However, how many professional league games has Bazee played compared to Onyedinma who is in the same age range although actually younger , plays as a winger or midfield. Voted Man of the match at 18 playing against Charlton in championship for Millwall. Onyedinma has played 85 professional league games and Bazee has played 26. So if I consider Onyedinma a better prospect is that bias or informed rational assessment. When Onyedinma will now sign for a premiership team for £10 million plus. Then we will start to lobby too cap him when maybe it's too late. So who have I insulted State facts and not assumed sentimentality or quoting those who have totally misquoted me. I have mentioned Tega Abraham 3rd highest goalscorers in the championship or am being biased because he is from Delta. Scoring twenty goals in the championship is not Ewah & Dodo. Or we could mention Oviemuno at Liverpool played already a few first team games.Or Tega Onumah at Tottenham played 12 games same number as £30 million Sissoko. So is this irrational to say they should be courted now and not later. Or I am being biased towards England innit boys as some have said. I could talk of all the Naija boys in Chelsea but there is not enough space. Some of all these boys from obscure leagues in Europe would probably not be able to get into Chelsea youth set up. So what is the bias. I find this forum educative, informative and conversant I have learned a lot about NPFL. Indeed one of the reasons I found myself in Warri watching Etebor. And he is not the only one I have watched. |

7 Positives Nigeria Can Draw from the Senegal Draw Add Comment1 min agoby Bryan Efe91 Views Daily Post KicKed by Bryan Efe Share: FacebookTwitterGoogle After the tension filled build up to the Nigeria versus Senegal international friendly brought about by anxieties from late arrivals on both sides; accounts of stranded Senegalese players; and the bizarre news of a relatively unknown goalkeeper who suddenly found his way to the Super Eagles fold, the game has finally come and gone. Here are the seven positives Nigeria can draw from the Senegal draw: GREAT TEST: The match was a true test of how Nigeria could fare against a physical team similar to their World Cup qualifying foe, Cameroon. From Nigeria’s performance, we can gladly say the players collectively adjusted quickly to the circumstance. Pulling a fine performance against a team like Senegal who was one of the AFCON favorites in Gabon earlier in the year, a team placed higher according to FIFA’s latest monthly rankings, and a team with arguably more established players in Europe compared to the youthful Nigerian team, we can say indeed that Nigeria has shown great promise by this feat OMERUO STILL HAS A PROMISING FUTURE: Omeruo’s performance in right back showed that we may not be lacking in that department after all. We can attribute his fine showing to his regular outing in the Turkish league, and how his Alanyaspor coach have used him in positions other than his familiar Center-Back role. ISAAC SUCCESS IS THE TRUTH: We have found a solid physical force in the Watford forward. He is the perfect man to trouble Cameroon. He once bullied Eric Bailey of Manchester United during Watford’s famous home win against the Red Devils in the current Premier League season. He again showed that potential when he came against Senegalese defenders. He will definitely get another call up. Success has cemented a place for himself in the Super Eagles after this fine debut. NIGERIA STILL YET TO LOSE UNDER ROHR: Gernot Rohr is still yet to experience his first loss since taking over as coach of the Super Eagles. That Nigeria could come back against a cohesive Senegal, outlines the fact that Nigeria can even do better going forward. Rohr should definitely get the credit. IHEANACHO IS 5 OUT OF 8: Kelechi Iheanacho has shown great potential in the green-white-green especially in front of goal. He has scored five times after eight international caps. Should he keep this momentum, he could end up becoming Nigeria’s all time highest goal scorer, especially considering that he is still yet to reach his peak in the game. OGU-NDIDI PARTNERSHIP: Ogenyi Onazi’s injury led to the introduction of John Ogu in his place, and like a blessing in disguise, the Super Eagles midfield did not just have a new look but a solid one — “indeedi”. Could this be the end of the long standing Mikel-Onazi midfield partnership? Never mind the question as Mikel is mostly seen in the attacking midfield role. IWOBI IS NOT RIPE FOR THIS: As far as the African game is concerned, Iwobi should be left to study proceedings from the bench, before introduction. He again was not his usual Premier League self against Senegal, just as he did in Nigeria’s last game World Cup qualifier against Algeria. He still has a goal to his name — let’s not take anything away from him. But going by his latest performances in Super Eagles colors, he is certainly a player as a an option, but not a player for the moment. http://spotkik.com/2017/03/24/7-positives-nigeria-can-draw-from-the-senegal-draw/ 1 Like |

Daniel did better than Akpeyi at the Olympics. Or at least let me say he was the preferred choice. so how come is he ahead in the Super Eagles? We need to invite more goal keepers when we have friendlies like this, and really access them. We need to leave Enyeama alone Icon4s: |

safarigirl:He was pretty solid in South Africa. Our defence was almost impregnable. Generally speaking, Yobo did very well for us in his playing days. Lots of people don't remember he used to be a striker for the Flying Eagles of 1999, switched to right back and where he understudied Taribo. He's well respected at Everton. |

Nigeria was quite average in the group phases of AFCON 2013. We improved after beating ivory coast. It had nothing to do with Yobo per se. Yobo was a good servant for Nigeria through his playing days. |

Here is the link to how Senegal scored their goal..... it was from an in swinging cross after a corner has been taken sef..... Sow was left all alone at the far post... now that is bad defensive positioning and poor awareness from our defenders and also Akpeyi did fluff but like I did state he was interrupted by his own man...... Have fun... Nacho's goal is also included.... On the whole Akpeyi gets the bulk of the blame coz he had the choice to stay in line while the defender that went for the ball try to deal with it.... all the same shaa.... Akpeyi was quite jittery in that one moment and the defence too lost awareness of the man on the far post... only Musa tried to pick him out but failed... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_OG9oUIYmo 1 Like |
