That is why when Ogu came in, he interpreted the role a little better than Onazi.... I did say that on matchday. For that period of 25mins before Onazi left, we were mostly on the Blackfoot and Onazi did the best he could. He was our shining light in that period alongside Ndidi. So I get both your points and that of Forgiveness. ![]() Mine is this: Onazi wasn't average in that match. He was well above average until he left. Ogu is good when we are knocking the ball around and playing our possessive football. But Onazi is better at Breaking up opponent's plays and providing steel when we are on the backfoot... He can pass also but Ogu trumps him in the passing game . Mickael2: |

Exclusive – List Of Five More England Youth Internationals On The Verge Of Switching To Nigeria ![]() Following the successful capture of Chuba Akpom, Ola Aina, Ebere Eze and Josh Maja, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has set it’s sight on snaring more players from the English youth set up eligible for Nigeria at senior level. Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal that five Anglo Nigerian players have been approached by the NFF, with discussions set to be at an advanced stage. Millwall’s highly rated midfielder Fred Onyedinma has given his words to officials of the NFF about his commitment to the Super Eagles and only missed training with the team due to Club engagement as he played in his team 0-1 loss to Swindon on Saturday. On loan Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham was not involved in the training session as the Bristol City man is yet to reach full fitness after returning from an injury that kept him out for close to a month. Everton’s Ademola Lookman is yet to decide on his international future, but a staff of the NFF revealed to Owngoalnigeria.com that Lookman will most likely switch to Nigeria after the European U-21 tournament later in the year. Also on the NFF list is Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dominic Iorfa Jnr who met with coach Gernot Rohr during his visit to see Carl Ikeme, and gave his words to the German coach of the Nigerian team that he will team up with Nigeria in the summer. 20 year old Charlton Athletic midfielder Joe Aribo who moved to the League one side from Staines Town in 2015 has also had contact with the NFF, and Owngoalnigeria.com can report that he has made himself available if called up by the handlers of the Nigerian team. *Michael James writes in from London owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/28/exclusive-list-of-five-more-england-youth-internationals-on-the-verge-of-switching-to-nigeria/ cc: Komekn, Forgiveness.... 2 Likes |

Juwon Oshaniwa Shows Off To Gernot Rohr In Eagles Training In London, Eyes Eagles Return ![]() Out of favour Super Eagles defender Juwon Oshaniwa was among the players coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr handed a late call up to join his team in training. The Super Eagles were scheduled to play Burkina Faso in a test game in London but the game was called off due to logistics bothering on the Burkinabes securing visas for the game. A test game involving the players was organised by Rohr, with the players divided into Team A and Team B, and Oshaniwa played for Team B captained by Kenneth Omeruo. Oshaniwa who was part of Nigeria’s squad to the last World Cup was on for the entire duration of the game and gave a good impression of himself, despite his lack of game time at Scottish side Hearts. The 27 year old former Sharks of Porthacourt defender is eyeing the left back spot of the team, which Elderson Echiejile presently enjoys the favour of coach Rohr. * Daniel Martins owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/28/juwon-oshaniwa-shows-off-to-gernot-rohr-in-eagles-training-in-london-eyes-eagles-return/ 1 Like |

maidaboi: Will you see anybody playing in league 1 or 2 possibly very rarely, 1 or 2 players from Championship being invited to the England camp. There is a reason for that Quality. However, that not withstanding the politics of player recruitment does not always mean the best players progress. Nigeria is not a kick and rush team, technique and skill are not something taught at most academies to the level we know. So not all Nigerian origin players irrespective of club or league have the technical ability we expect. So not every player will fit the remit for Nigeria. I have said this before. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham. will probably have near thirty players of Nigerian origin in thier youth ranks 16 and upwards alone. Is that the first place to look not necessarily. We need players who have played at least a season of competitive football from league 1 at least upwards consideration for League 2 if they are exceptional. But to assess players of Nigerian origin in the UK is in itself a full time job. It is no exaggeration to say there are over 500 players of Nigerian origin in the league system from League 2 upwards. So to you avoid, "who no man" and agent manipulation you would need to set up a team to do the job properly. |

Nigeria follows Ghana in avoiding London for future friendly matches ![]() Nigeria have joined Ghana in avoiding friendly internationals in London in future because of stringent visa requirements for the United Kingdom. The Super Eagles will join the Black Stars in playing their subsequent friendlies in Schengen states which provides flexible ways in acquiring visas for sides playing friendlies in their countries. The decision was reached by the Nigeria Football Federation after the country’s game against Burkina Faso scheduled for Monday in London was canceled because of delays in visas. Nigeria are following the footsteps of Ghana who had previously used London as their base but visa delays and the expensive nature of hosting the matches in the English capital have resulted in the Black Stars opting for French cities. Burkina Faso, the third-placed finisher at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, had been expected to provide stiff opposition for Gernot Rohr’s team as it builds towards FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers in August and September against Cameroon. But seven Burkina Faso players failed to secure visas so Nigeria held a training game among its own squad at The Hive, home of English League Two club Barnet. Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr claims the Super Eagles will avoid future friendly internationals in London. “Yes, yes, because it’s too complicated to get the visas, you know,” Rohr, 63, told Empowersmag.com when asked after the training game if Nigeria could stay away from friendlies in the U.K. in future. “I think it’s better to stay in Schengen, in Europe than go to London where the people have problems. Even some players in our team couldn’t come, you know. They didn’t get the visa in time.” Rohr pointed out the positive aspects of Nigeria’s short trip to London, though, noting that the training exercise had allowed him to make a fuller evaluation of his squad. “We tried to find another team but it was too late,” the German said. “We had one very good game against a Senegal team [that was] so strong, so powerful, we learned a lot. Now we look forwards to our next games. “The second game, between us, I could see everybody,” Rohr added. “Some players need to play because they don’t play all the time at their clubs. It was an opportunity for them.” The strange situation allowed Rohr to see several of his star forwards at once, with Kelechi Iheanacho of Manchester City and Alex Iwobi of Arsenal lining up against Watford’s record signing Isaac Success, who made his debut against Senegal on Thursday.

![]() Algeria ’ s Feghouli Admits Beating Nigeria To Russia 2018 Ticket Is “Difficult ” By James Agberebi Algeria and West Ham midfielder Sofiane Feghouli admits it will be difficult for the Desert Foxes to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup ahead of Nigeria, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Algeria are currently bottom of African qualifying Group B on just one point, five points behind group leaders Nigeria. Reigning African champions Cameroon are second on two points, while Zambia are third with just a point. “I think the World Cup is the very best competition in terms of the feelings and emotions that it generates,” Feghouli told West Ham official website on Tuesday. “If you haven't played in it, you can't know exactly what it means. I was lucky enough to play in it in 2014 and Algeria played very well. It was a dream come true for millions of Algerians and we made history by reaching the last 16 for the first time. “We played a historic tie against Germany in which we were on the verge of knocking them out. I was very happy and proud to take part in that incredible adventure. “I'd like to play in it again in 2018, although it will be very difficult to qualify.” At the 2017 AFCON in Gabon, Algeria crashed out in the first round.

Leicester City Rising Star Ndidi Wows Chelsea Loanee Omeruo In Eagles Camp ![]() Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo was impressed with Leicester City defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi during the Nigerian national team get-together in London. The ex-Nigeria U20 defender has publicly admitted his admiration for Ndidi, but the fact is that he set tongues wagging over his performance against Senegal last Thursday, with the Nigerian Football Federation naming him Man of the Match. Omeruo has advised his Super Eagles teammate not to rest on his laurels as he aims to become a better player. “#nigeriasupereagles #london #omeruo keep doing great things my brother @ndidi25,” Omeruo posted on Instagram. A product of Nath Boys, Ndidi has recorded seven appearances for the Super Eagles since debuting against Democratic Republic of Congo in October 2015. The international friendly against the Teranga Lions was his 50th appearance of the season for club and country. **Igho Kingsley Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22531 2 Likes |

This ligali boy should be invited since he plays at the top division in france let's see what he has to offer. Dele alampasu should be tested in some friendly games to see if he's ready for the super eagles. Emmanuel daniel should be invited. All this keepers should be tested and drilled and the best should be chosen. 1 Like |
