But he got to the ball first... then he partially fluffed his control of it (even though he did good to bring it under some control with the first touch) and even hit a weak shot which the onrushing Penneteau stopped.... with Nacho waiting right in the centre in front of goal. BascoVanVeli: |

OMANBALA1: As it stands 100% but this is quite normal some players peak at youth level for whatever reason and do not go much further afterwards well at least not to the level expected. When Neymar played for Brazil in Nigeria 2009 U17 he was totally anonymous. Who is the player carrying Brazil and is clearly world class and where are our bronze and silver boot etc winners. |

zuchyblink: I would like to see them play a full season of regular top flight football in a top league and prove themselves worthy of the SE. Let past glories be forgotten and the present continous prevail. Particularly with regard to thier club form and league quality. Let the playing field be made level merit only. |

TheSuperNerd: His control was not bad at all, it put him in shooting position but it was not about power of shot, it was the placing as a chip would have done better. I don't think anyone should have expected him to see Iheanacho in that position because we already know he doesn't pass those up. 1 Like |

Humility017: You assume he had a Nigerian father Being a father goes beyond dropping your seed at every sea port of call like a drunken sailor and can't even remember the name of the mother or even seen your so called son. I have seen this trend across so many European seaports, however the assumed recent trend of baby mother has been practised vigorously by Nigerian father's throughput Europe abandoning thier sons left right and center over 30 years ago. So how can those Children even feel anything for Nigeria and if they do na just d Hand of God, nuttin else. |

Sorry Sir Komekn... but Neymar was not totally anonymous at Nigeria 2009. He made good impact with the little time Brazil spent in the competition. I remember watching him in Lagos... Neymar was beautiful to watch. They were knocked out in the first round by an exciting Switzerland side who went on to become champions that year. And yeah where are the likes of Sani Emmanuel? Stanley Okoro? right? But Onazi, Omeruo, Kayode and Ajagun featured in that same competition. They are doing good.... aren't they? Don't sound like it is perculiar to Nigeria... after all, where is Spain's Borja? Spain's Edgar? Brazil's Ganso? Switzerland's Ben Khalifa and so on and so forth... And K.Nwakali and Osimhen are surely gonna be great players... you just wait and see. Don't write them off yet.... And yes, Okonkwo Orji, Scorer of that world class strike against mexico in the semis at Chile 2015 is really on fire and doing superbly well... he is very close to an invite to the Eagles... but he should keep it on... lad is rising nicely. Only sad for Chukwueze as his handlers are just delaying his rise... such an exceptional talent may just die away because of carelessness and greed on the handlers' part and it is so frustrating... just hope he can get his career off the ground... dude is still young and can still make that good career move.... but his agents should plsss let him be and forget their selfish interests. Haba! komekn: |

I already modified my thoughts on how he controlled the ball... I meant to type partially... Anyway, fact is he was in a shooting position but also has the option of squaring for Nacho who was in a much better position to score.... He should have passed or made sure scored since he wemt for goal on his own. We have already talked about that aspect of his game which can be good and also bad.... I recall it was you (or was it you or another) who asked if Henry can cope in the Eagles the same way Neymar is doing at Barca? I recall also that I commented on that.... Onyekuru is a super young talent but has to find the balance between going solo and playing with his Eagles team mates. He is not at Eupen anymore.... He is now in the Super Eagles.... he should realise that and strike that balance. He should play more for the team.... BascoVanVeli: |

TheSuperNerd: That's why I said correct me. So u see, he also missed a chance so why the pick on Onyekuru and Musa only. |

Bros, forget NFF. These guys that believe u need to be in a big club b4 they can hustle for u. They don't see the talent in an epl championship player, how much more a player in dutch div2. I seen his highlights and he's quite good. tbaba1234: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by BascoVanVeli(m): 7:35pm On May 28, 2017 |
TheSuperNerd: I don't think the ball would have ever made it to Iheanacho. He had the goalkeeper and 3 defenders in the way. |

Humility017: Funny? That's interesting. I should have used the word "believed" it was during a Liverpool match I heard the commentator made mention of Ojo nationality to be Benin. And Onomah, I seem to have mistaken him with Nkodu. Both play for Tottenham. |

Come on Sir Basco.... not like they were all lined up in linear fashion and forming a wall akin to China's great wall.... Two defenders were already behind Nacho with only one keeping up slightly and keeping him onside... Had Onyekuru placed the pass on time, it would have gotten into Nacho's path.... BascoVanVeli: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by zoboizee: 7:49pm On May 28, 2017 |
I watched the corsica game highlights, Musa's shot was awful. How i wish taiye taiwo was in that position.Kelechi's first touch on goal on 35mins was equally awful. Most of these super eagles guys needs to learn how to hit a shot on the ground. Keepers easily save high shots. Commendable performance no doubt. Both penalties looked too easy on the eye though. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 7:52pm On May 28, 2017 |
Coz theirs was more glaring compared to Nacho's. Musa's was especially annoying but he did good in the game for the most parts. Icon4s: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 7:56pm On May 28, 2017 |
True... Nacho's first touch in that first half around said time was poor but the keeper was already unto him too and the pass was a high one too... Nacho was closed down too quickly by the goalie. That Penneteau guy sef took that match too personal biko. He thwarted almost everything we threw at him. zoboizee: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Dedebanky85: 8:02pm On May 28, 2017 |
That ball could have made it to Nacho easily. It depends on the player's mentality while with the ball. If Onyekuru decided to pass, he would never have ran so fast like that. With the speed he was on, only one outcome - shoot. But if he had gone slowly then he could easily have cut the ball back and then picked the right square play. It all depended on his frame of mind while running with the ball. TheSuperNerd: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by zoboizee: 8:10pm On May 28, 2017 |
Our boys were too eager to shoot & decided to blast the ball into the net from distance rather than look for who is free on goal. |

Abeg ehn..... Nacho flew back to England from France abi.... fine... we know that already... So could man city please stop playing "hard to negotiate" and let Nacho be......? I mean an official announcement of Nacho's new club ought to have been made by now... Man City and Pep keep singing the song that they recognise what a top young talent he is yet they don't wanna give him a chance to play.... we know they won't sell him or loan him to a rival... fine!!!! Then give him away to another outside the top 7 then.... na wa oooo... the matter don tire pesin.... And ofcos, any deal for Nacho will likely have a buy-back clause putting man city in a win-win situation.... that club ehn.... #LetNachoGo Already!!!!! |

I have always thought Onyekuru was another Victor Moses in the making with better goal rate. I am not yet sold on that Nigga. |
