League Cup Wrap: Solanke Full Debut, Enobakhare Scores, Ndidi Stars, Abraham Subbed In Published: September 20, 2017 League Cup Wrap: Solanke Full Debut, Enobakhare Scores, Ndidi Stars, Abraham Subbed InA round-up of Nigerian players that were in action for their respective clubs in the third round of the League Cup on Tuesday, September 19. Nigerian players with dual nationalities that have played competitively for the senior national teams of other countries have been omitted. Liverpool crashed out of the competition after losing 2-0 to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, with England U21 sensation Dominic Solanke making his full debut for the Reds. Teammates Ovie Ejaria and Bobby Adekanye were not included in Liverpool's 18. Of the key Nigerian players on the books of Leicester City, only Wilfred Ndidi started and featured for 84 minutes. Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho were non-playing substitutes. Joining Leicester City in the fourth round draw is Carl Ikeme's Wolverhampton Wanderers, who needed a 98th minute goal from Nigerian-born striker Bright Enobakhare before seeing off Bristol Rovers. Enobakhare lasted the distance at the Molineux Stadium in the West Midlands. England youth-teamer Josh Onomah started and was in action for 81 minutes as Aston Villa lost 2-0 to Middlesbrough at Villa Park. Derik Osede and Sammy Ameobi were left out of the Bolton Wanderers squad against West Ham at the London Stadium. 3-0 it finished in favour of the Premier League side. Former Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo and up-and-coming winger Joseph Hungbo were not involved in Crystal Palace's 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town. At the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth beat Brighton & Hove 1-0. Ex-Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe started for the Cherries and was replaced in the 103rd minute. Tammy Abraham played the last nine minutes of Swansea City's 2-0 win at Reading, for whom Tiago Ilori lasted the distance. The Royals record signing Sone Aluko wasn't in the 18. Another Chelsea loanee in the shape of Ike Ugbo put in a full shift in attack as Barnsely lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium. Ifeanyi Emmanuel 1 Like |

Icon4s:On d third bullet point,well said,truly opposition determine player ability but sometimes it did not.When u see a class irrespective of opposition u know this particular player is good. I just watched d match now coz I don't have d chance to watch it live,with what i saw Olamilekan Adeleye deserves a call up to mainstream super eagles ASAP may be is ready to partner Ekong or Balogun,i w say too early to say that but it w be good for him to be in camp and learn from big boys. As u said a more competitive matches w determine his ability but to me d guy is a rock that need to be polish,he just remind me of injury prone Oyekachi Apam. It is better to have this guys Eze and Adeleye than calling average defenders like Uche Agbo to camp always.Oboboana made it straight from sunshine to Super Eagles XI. |

Kog45: I am not defending Ghana. I am just exercising some caution. I have seen things like these play out over and over. A team that has booked a place and also first spot to the next round of a competition typical dont give their best in their last group game. If Ghana had needed a win against Nigeria to qualify I hope you know they would want to die on that pitch. By and large kudos to the boys but if we meet Ghana again and this time in the final they shouldn't expect an easy ride 1 Like |

Joebie:Not even big leagues but solid as Balogun especially CB position,with due respect to Ekong i still have my reservation.Awaziem sorry to say i don't rate him with what i saw against South Africa,hope he prove me wrong,Agbo too average for SE. Rohr just need to address this before it's too late,initially i thought our fullbacks are d issue but with availability of player like Shehu, Echiejele,Aina,Ebuehi,may be Okoro and hopefully Nura Abdullahi we are covered. I don't know how serious NFF or Rohr towards d full switch of Uduokhai to Nigeria,if d guy is available better for d team but my attention shifted to this WAFU tourney and i can say am impress with Eze,Adeleye,Okoro, though we might say d oppositions are weak but those guy are showing promises,hope Rohr is watching. The Eze and Adeleye i saw against Ghana cannot be worse than Awaziem i saw against South Africa,so need to call this guys to camp and learn. |

Kog45:defenders are like goalies IMO, they get better with age. So, thus solid Balogun you see is like this because he has gotten better with age and is much older than Ekong and Awaziem, it's an unfair comparison. I don't think we need new CBs. What Balogun and Ekong have is gold and Awaziem wikk probably be better next time. Maybe he would be good with Balogun, I personally don't judge players on their debut games cuz I factor in lots of things. Adeleye and whoever could probably come and play nonsense against Libya sef. Comparing a WAFU Cup game to AFCON Qualifiers is terribly wrong. Let us stop getting carried away by players because of a couple of good shows against poor teams. Na so we shout Uzoenyi for CHAN finish, what happened later? Give it time 1 Like |

Kog45: Awaziem was one of the top players in the last Ligue 1 game, he played. He played un the centre of defence. He is playing at a much higher level than Eze and Adeleye and he is playing regularly. He is young but he is solid. One bad game is not enough to write him off. With a strong season in Ligue 1, he can only get better. 7 Likes |
