Maybe Coach Craig Shakespeare wants to play chess with well-oiled experience..... There is no Wilfred Ndidi in the starting line-up according to the premier league account on twitter. Is it because it is Goodison park or because of the Champions league? Ndidi got 14 lungs mehn!!!! I am sure he can handle both games just fine.... Well, Craig surely have eyes on Atletico shaa....  Who would want unexpected injuries picked up ahead of a champs league game? modified Ndidi isn't even on the bench....  But Musa makes it shaa....  Maybe Coach Shakespeare is afraid he could even pick up injury while on the bench?  |

Not being on the bench means the same thing as you have just said... A match day squad comprises 18players... 7 on the bench and 11 on the field. I think Ndidi isn't even in Merseyside.... #CraigThinkingOfAtletico Joebie: |

Yep.... yep.... hey what of Musa? you think he has a chance of playing a part today? I don't even know what direction he will take in the summer coz Gray, Albrighton, Okazaki and Mahrez are all ahead of him in that team based on who the coach selects more and "trusts" more. Joebie: |

Ajagun clocked 90mins of game time yet again in Roda JC's 1-1 draw away at AZ Alkmaar. Kingsley Ehizibue clocked 65mins in PEC Zwolle's 2-2 home draw with Feyenoord..... started in a more advanced role it seems. Remember he is a RWF/RB/RWB Hybrid...... Another Victor Moses if you ask me... but brings his own style and swag. Plus... he can also play left back. #SuperVersatile 1 Like |

I think Musa needs to move on. If he comes on and scores a brace in this game then maybe I will have a rethink. he already had a couple goals this season. I personally don't think the premier league is suited for him. Having speed is not the only criteria. Raneiri learned this the hard way. TheSuperNerd: |

Anichebe Comes Close To Scoring As Man Utd Seal Routine Win Over Sunderland  Sunderland are doomed for relegation after they suffered a 3-0 loss at the hands of Manchester United in the English Premier League on Sunday afternoon at the Stadium of Light. The good news if you are a Super Eagles faithful is Victor Anichebe made his first start for the Black Cats in four months, having fully recovered from a hamstring injury. The ex-Everton striker, who went the distance, almost equalized for his team in the 40th minute but saw his shot saved for a corner by the goalkeeper. The Red Devils went into the half-time break a goal up thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal in the 30th minute. No Sunderland player had touched the ball as Mkhitaryan netted his fourth Premier League goal less than a minute into the second half, before Rashford gave Manchester United a 3-0 lead in the closing minutes. Sunderland have been in the bottom three since September and it's looking unlikely that their bad run will end before the end of the season. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Photo Credit : safc.com Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22663 1 Like |

This report forgot to mention the 2013 Fifa Confed cup where Spain ran away with a 3-0 win over Our Super Eagles..... Anyway, Will be nice to face Spain again anyway...... but can we pull this off? ....................................................................................................... La Liga Director hints at Spain vs Nigeria rematch  The partnership between La Liga and the League Management Company has yielded a few benefits for the NPFL, Rivers United and Coaches in Nigeria, according to the Managing Director, International development La Liga, Vincente Casado, Nigeria’s Super Eagles may also reap from that tree with the possibility of a friendly match against Spain. Casado told footballlive.ng there is a strong possibility of Spain’s La Furia Roja proposing a rematch against Nigeria after the sides’ first competitive meeting at the 1998 World Cup. Nigeria ranked 64th at the time stunned Spain , who were ranked 14th best footballing nation in the World in the first group D match. >Spain had taken the lead through Fernando Hierro, but Mutiu Adepoju leveled before Raul Gonzalez restored La Furia’s lead. Spain’s first choice goalie, Zubizarreta turner Garba Lawal’s effort into his own net to bring teh game level before Sunday Oliseh sealed the game with a belter from 25 yards as the three-time African Champion’s secured one of their biggest wins at the World Cup till date; and Spain would fail to progress from the group stages in that edition.

Kayode In The Form Of His Life But Austria Vienna Suffer Third Loss In Eight Days  Kayode with David Alaba Kayode Olanrewaju was on target on Saturday in the Austrian Bundesliga but his tenth league goal could not save Austria Vienna from losing to St. Polten in front of their own fans. The capital club are in crisis at the moment as that defeat against the relegation-threatened side was their third loss in a row in eight days. Kayode quelled the nerves of the fans by finding the net in the 21st minute after receiving a pass from his captain, but an own goal from Larsen restored parity before the visitors grabbed the winner on 55 minutes. Austria Vienna may be struggling but their Nigerian star is in the form of his life, with his strike versus St. Polten his 17th goal in all competitions, a personal best for goals since he departed the shores of the country. The Super Eagle netted five goals in the Europa League, including the qualifiers, and two in the Cup. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22662 1 Like |

Nigeria's Most Valuable Teenager Scores 17th Goal Of The Season  Henry Onyekuru inspired Eupen to a 2-0 road win over Royal Excel Mouscron in the latest round of matches played in the Belgian First Division A. The attacker has been in scintillating form in recent weeks and opened the scoring at Stade Le Canonnier just after the half-hour mark, taking his tally to 17 goals in all competitions in the process. Royal Excel Mouscron had been the better team but that goal from Onyekuru set Eupen on their way to a 2-0 victory. Three Nigerians- Anthony Bassey, Odeni Jamabo and Onyekuru- were included in Eupen's starting eleven, and only the goalscorer was substituted in the 90th minute. A product of Aspire Academy Senegal, the 19-year-old has been linked with possible moves to teams based in Scotland, Russia and Turkey ahead of the opening of the transfer window. Per transfermarkt, Onyekuru is the most valuable Nigerian teenager, with a market value of four million euros. **Igho Kingsley Photo Credit : as-eupen.be Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22661 2 Likes |

Victor Moses has gone from Chelsea outcast to key man as title edges closer The Nigerian was crucial to the Blues' success at BournemouthBY OLIVER HARBORD [img]http://i4.football.london/incoming/article12868705.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Victor-Moses.jpg[/img] Victor Moses was back in great form after his injury (Photo by Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty Images) Victor Moses the key Who would have thought that Chelsea would be so reliant on whether Victor Moses plays or not? You definitely wouldn't have said that this time last year but yesterday he proved it once again. With the Nigerian missing against Crystal Palace and Manchester City, Antonio Conte had to scratch around for a replacement right wing-back, but the 26-year-old was back and hit the ground running straight away. He was a superb outlet and was good on the ball, while showing great fitness to only be substituted in the final minutes of the game and showing little effect of the calf injury. Moses brings a real solidity down that right hand side and once again he showed just how much he has come on under Conte and has become a crucial player in the side. Diego Costa form One man who has probably had the reverse fortunes in recent weeks is Diego Costa and again he seemed horribly off the pace against Bournemouth. A stunning start to the season, the Brazilian-born Spaniard is having a rough 2017 with just three Premier League goals to his name and the sharpness just seems to have gone at the moment. He did wonderfully well with the first goal to turn, however he shot was going well, well wide had it not been for the deflection from Adam Smith. Costa is still the focal point of the side, but to get over the line Chelsea could do with him hitting the back of the net again to build that confidence back up. It is just a shame that nobody seems to be pushing him for his place, and you can almost guarantee that Costa will start every game. Refereeing There is always a lot of talk about refereeing after the game, but post-Bournemouth there was another reason to see why they are just so crucial. In the build-up to the Cherries' goal there was a clear handball from Smith as he looked to the win the ball off Marcos Alonso. Andre Marriner may not have seen it when Smith's back to him, but the TV replays showed that the linesman had a clear view of it and the fact that he didn't flag amazed the players and Conte alike. It was a great strike by Josh King, but it all could have been prevented had the handball been spotted. Bournemouth gave it a go You have to give Eddie Howe and Bournemouth credit for the way they played and it could have been a completely different afternoon if they had a bit of luck. Benik Afobe rattled the post, Ryan Fraser shot wide when breaking away and Bournemouth came out not to stifle but to play their brand of football. At times that suited Chelsea, with space in behind for Eden Hazard to score his goal and there was space for the Blues to ignite into their counter attacking football. But the Vitality Stadium is a great place to go and watch football and you can see why Howe is getting a lot of plaudits for his work, while you'd expect him to move on to bigger and better things. Seven points clear, seven games to go The games are starting to tick away for Chelsea and the title gets ever closer for Conte and his side. Yesterday's win was another big psychological boost for the Blues, just to keep Spurs at arms length after they thrashed Watford. With Manchester United up next weekend and the FA Cup semi-final the week after that, it is a crucial two weeks for the Blues and they must try to keep the momentum going. The goal is almost in sight, and with the remaining fixtures the Blues should have enough to see out the rest of the season with general ease.
