Bia Onyekuru @bolded..... I have to call you to order here. Once or Twice, Iheanacho was free for a pass and you instead chose to shoot and spoilt the chances... one of them was a clear strike on goal but you still fluffed... And how you go see the options ahead when you no wan raise your head on time naa?? Abeg... you try but you were not just "it" against Corsica... hopefully you make amends against Togo.... Chikena!

Why Red Hot Onyekuru Failed To Shine, Score For Nigeria Against Corsica



The highly anticipated Nigeria senior national team debut for hot in demand KAS Eupen forward Henry Onyekuru happened against Corsica, but didn’t quite provided the spark many expected.

Onyekuru was handed a start by coach Gernot Rohr in the game that ended 1-1, but the forward who lasted the entire duration of the game failed to justify the hype surrounding him after his 24 goals haul for Eupen.

19 year old Onyekuru wasted a clear chance to draw Nigeria level minutes after they went behind, but he fluffed his lines and missed what looked like a certain goal for Nigeria.

After the miss, he thrice gave away possession cheaply and although he improved in the second half, he wasn’t such a goal threat to the opponent as many would have expected form the Arsenal target.

” I think the goal he missed affected his game negatively. He should have scored but stuffs like that happens, but after the incident he wasn’t keen of taking risk anymore and threaded cautiously “, a teammate told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” After the game he confessed to me that the loss (lost chance) affeected his confidence level, and when he went over it he didn’t have any real chance at goal. He also complained of the lack of options in front of him when on the ball”.

Does owngoalnigeria hate Henry? Why all this campaign to rubbish him? How many chances did he miss? How many did others miss? Let them stop this already. Cut him some slack.

Cyriel Dessers scored two goals for NAC Breda and it looks like Awoniyi is going down...

TheSuperNerd:
But they have been the ones giving him the most coverage.....

Why will they wanna rubbish him all of a sudden...?

Truth is Henry missed the closest/easiest chance... after that he didn't get any real sight of goal again. He picked up nicely in the second half even... I saw some of that myself.

Their report may seem harsh but I don't think they wanna rubbish the lad.

The inability to watch the full match is the real problem. I remember the numerous misleading reports following the Nigeria-Senegal friendly match. It was after the release of the entire match video that we got to the know about the biasness of the reports.

Prejudice is human nature.

Orji Okonkwo Dazzles For Bologna Against Juventus, Eyes Super Eagles Shirt



Nigeria youth international Orji Okonkwo created the opening goal for Bologna in their 1-2 loss to Italian Serie A Champions Juventus yesterday.


The Flying Eagles ace laid a pass for Saphir Taider to blast home a thunderous effort from outside the box in the 52nd minutes to open scoring in the game. He however ended on the losing side.

Okonkwo lasted the entire duration of the game, a sign of how high coach Roberto Donadoni rates the 19 year old who only joined the team in the summer following a string of fine performances for the Nigeria U-17 and 20.

His fine display was however blotted after he picked up a booking for a foul on Kwadwo Asamoah eight minutes from full time, and he was lucky not to have been given his marching orders when he tripped Mario Mandzukic six minutes after his initial foul.

Speaking to owngoalnigeria.com, the power playing forward who is nicknamed “big striker” by his teammates in the Nigeria youth team said he is eyeing a better season next year to force himself into the plans of the Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.

” It has been a nice season for me, I have to thank God for how I settled down in Italy. Hopefully I will go a step forward next season and push my way into the senior national team of Nigeria for the World Cup 2018″, he said.
