Overstretching?Musa wish to be overstretched,good for Ndidi to be playing week in week out.

Considering his age.. Thesame about to iwobi last season he started declining in his performance...

soetanoreoluwa:


God bless you... Ndidi getting worn out already... He really need rest... Some coaches self... Na WA for them... Playing league cup and Epl... For 90minutes then travel long distance to Nigeria n still play 90mins...

Exactly the boy is not a machine. At some point he will have to stop one way or another.

enomakos:
can you blame him? He only watches the English league

don't mind him...
he is our epl scout here...
I admire him alot...though we don't always agree on same issue.

Kog45:
I remember Mikel Obi was rated like this sometimes ago in EPL,does anybody reckon with it.

Onazi is far ahead of Azubuike.It was on this thread people are rating Etebo over Mikel until recently they see that d difference is wide.

Azubuike a good player no doubt, watching Olympics d guy was solid but for now he has Agu to contend with not Onazi.

Let me chip in on this Azubuike issue.

Azubuike is a player I rate so highly. But the problem is just like Shehu Abdulahi he seems not to have a good agent.

Remember his heroics at the CAF U23 (Olympics) qualifiers even then as an 18years old. You saw his inputs in the midfield of that Olympics team.

He was one of the standout performers from the Olympics.

Remember also that Azubuike played for the Super Eagles against Egypt in the 2017 AFCON qualifiers. You saw how he was able to combine excellently well with Etebo in that midfield.

I have not been impressed with Mikel Agu for the two occasions I have watched him play for the Super Eagles.

You can quote me any where, I rate Azubuike Okechukwu more than Mikel Agu.

People seem to forget the boy is just 20 years old and just still emerging.

I have said it before and will say it again that if we can raise a team that can top a group comprising of Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia then we have a team that can achieve a lot at the World Cup.

After the qualifiers I don't expect more than 2 or at most 3 changes from the starting line up going into the world cup.

I said it at the beginning of Rohr's campaign that for him to effectively build a TEAM he must have REGULARS both in the team and in the squad.


My stand is you can only introduce a new player if he is better than the one(s) already in the squad.

cc: Kog45

That's it,quite agreed with u,a new player must be better than d one on d ground.For example Ajiboye came in and displaced Alampasu,meaning Ezenwa and Akpeyi needs to sit tight.

Pls lets go down to memory lane to make things clearly to those who believe that a lot of players are still needed in this team.

The evolution of 1980 nations cup squad started in 1976 with player like an half caste Tunji Banjo,Adokiye Aimesemeaka,Henry Nwosu broke into d team to 1980 nations cup,d team lasted till 1982 with young Keshi,Humphery Edebor,Ademola Adeshina making d team.

Maroc 88 team started in 1984 but d team couldn't make it to afcon 86 eliminated by Zambia losing 1 nil at Lusaka and goaless draw in Lagos but d team came out strong later.This team can be compared to d present squad coz a German was engaged in d name of Manfred Horner who brought in few youngs and new players like Wole Odegbami, Ndubuisi Okosieme,Folorunsho Okenla,Andrew Uwe,Bunmi Adigun

I remember evolution of US94 squad by Westerhoff and i can say d building of that team started late 89 in a match against Cameroon in Yaoundé and d team moved from there to Algiers 90,Senegal 92,Tunisia 94,only two player broke into that team,namely Chidi Nwanu and Mike Emenalo to US 94,though Westerhoff had good 4 to 5 years.

The evolution of afcons 98,2000&2002 started partially at US 94 but fully at Atlanta 96 where we have bunch of Super Eagles players making d team,players like Uche Okechucwu,Emma Amuneke,Daniel Amokachie, Victor Ikpeba,Tijani Babangida and fringe Eagles prayers like Kanu Nwankwo,Celestine Babayaro,Taribo West,Garba Lawal.It must be noted that very few players broke into this team.

The new era of Super Eagles started at 2002 WC and it last till 2010 WC,this was a period we have different class of players coming into d team coz it cannot be compared to d evolutionary of their predecessors but notwithstanding we can mentioned d numbers of players that broke into d team toward 2010 WC.

The 2014 WC team started in 2012 after Eagles failed to qualify for afcon 2012,with superlatives performance in 2013 winning afcon but their evolution was misery coz Keshi couldn't keep d momentum by bringing in different class of players.2015 and 2017 we couldn't make afcon due to a lot of factors.

Now on d verge of making WC with Rohr in charge,if we look at this team,we just need to give credit to Rohr for able to raise a very good team in a short period,no coach has ever done this with Super Eagles.At least we can say this is our XI for a very long time, praying that d evolution of this team extended to 2022 WC.

Presently we are having a team we can back on,hoping nothing happens towards their qualifications to Russia.I reiterate it that 75% of this squad w make it to Russia.

Abeg no vex madam. It seems like the mention of TheSuperNerd activates a switch in you that gets you angry. The guy is a friend who has stood up for you a number of times and I don't recollect him using any words that could be generally termed as "insulting" on you in this "saga". He is a great guy and please let's not see his starting a thread as a deliberate attempt to bring this one down. He was always bound to do that as he clearly has a passion for Nigerian football. His enthusiasm is commendable (though I must say some o us who witnessed the birthing of the golden era from 1993-1999, will always apply caution for good reason) and that passion will push him to return here in due course. I also think we shouldn't discourage people from contributing to his thread if they so wish. It is not a competition. Let's move past this please...

i defended Supernerd, did i not? Go an ask that nextlevel guy if he read the posts well.

When I came to this thread, Piet and Supernerd had already gone far in the insults. I read the attacks at Supernerd's mum with anger and I was pissed off that NOBODY on this thread thought to even call Piet out on that. I reported Pietrico's posts, that was what led to it being hidden, I was the first person aside Supernerd to condemn the abuses at his mum.....Supernerd had been warned repeatedly to stop poking, had he not?

Even me, I quoted Chrismario abi who and defended Supernerd by telling him to not support the insulting of another person's mother. How many fights haved I gotten into on this thread on top another person matter? I repeatedly ask others to intervene because I know that once I start, the whole world will jump at me and forget it was not my fight, does anybody intervene?

I even asked Supernerd to stop, I told him he was rude, and in the same light, I told Piet to keep his mama's name out of the fight. Where the phuck was that fool when Supernerd told me he doesn't give a HOOT my opinion.

That was a slap on my face, have I ever told Supernerd that I don't give a hoot what he says when he corrects me for quarreling? Have I ever disrespected him in that manner? If he calls me his friend, was that the right thing to say? How can you be friends with someone that does not hesitate to trash your GOOD advice?

May God punish anybody that mentions me for not defending Supernerd, where the phuck was nextlevel when I was interceding?

Go punish any eediot that says I did not defend Supernerd, that person must be mad. I am very pissed off by it

Nextlevel, phuck you for saying that.

ChrisKels:


That username just surfaced and exhibited one of the Nerd's habit, so don't be surprised that was Nerd in a different moniker. Nigga always feel he is better than everyone and that everybody is jealous of his achievements. If u were here when he had a fight with da Bigblangston, u would understand this better. This guy (Nerd) went as far as calling Blangston a low life riff raff who was jealous of his achievements as a youngster. A guy above 25 still called himself a youngster? was the question and correction from one of the thread members. He feels he has better career than everyone else whereas he doesn't have the slightest idea what each and everyone of us does for a living neither does he know our achievements in life. Just because we lot don't come here reeling out our achievements in life like he does, doesn't make us underachievers. Throughout my stay here, I have noticed one thing about him... Nigga is so full of himself and he has no regards whatsoever for whoever has a different opinion from his. He always wants everything to go his way. He is too emotional and saucy, reason he gets into quarrels more often than not, Safari had same trait (emotional and saucy) but turned a new live after the invasion some months ago. Seriously, if that guy doesn't change his way, he would have more enemies than friends even in real life.

He fought Blangston, he fought da Forgiveness and now this new dude and...counting. A else gets into fights like he does? Too much reading of the book called "the secret of power" He ain't no kid no more but he is too puerile for my liking.

But above all, guy is a great analyst and knows the game inside out. But his attitude remains his undoing.

Though, I don't know exactly what transpired btw them but it's extremely over the line to call a mother 'bitch' regardless of the potor potor arguments, jabs, insults etcetera. To me it is preposterous, unacceptable and it should be totally condemned else this thread degenerate from its course to mother's slaughter thread.

Now, in such case, reactions and responces differs, depending on individual.

However, to err is man but to forgive is divine, therefore, I expect the two parties involved to sheath their swords, embrace peace and move on.

E don happen be say e don happen. Nothing any man go do.

After all, no body don't receive uppercuts, jabs and knockout pass me here.

And to those adding salt to injure, biko, negodu.

libero808:
Ndidi had a great game this past weekend besides the freekick he gave away.

They way he reacted when Leicester lost the ball leading to Liverpool's third goal gave a cause to worry.

I don't think ANYBODY on this thread understands how pained I am by what TheSuperNerd said to me


Three days down and it is still paining me and that nextlevel has the guts to yarn trash, I could have slapped him if he was in front of me, I swear, na so e pain me reach.

I should have defended him by attacking Piet so that people like nextlevel will say Safarigirl has started again, okwa ya?

Even when somebody wants to avoid trouble, all you agents of darkness will still find a way to bring out the demon in them.

Nobody should mention me again as regards the support of Supernerd, because nobody has supported him as much as I have on this thread. I corrected him because he is my friend and he deserves the truth.

I know my faults, I know I'm stubborn, I know I can talk trash, I know I can be intolerant, there is nobody that wants to say shiiit about me that I don't know, but apparently, nobody has told Supernerd his own, so he needs to hear it.

Since he said he does not give a hoot my opinion, he can phuck off.

Let me chip in on this Azubuike issue.

Azubuike is a player I rate so highly. But the problem is just like Shehu Abdulahi he seems not to have a good agent.

Remember his heroics at the CAF U23 (Olympics) qualifiers even then as an 18years old. You saw his inputs in the midfield of that Olympics team.

I have not been impressed with Mikel Agu for the two occasions I have watched him play for the Super Eagles.

You can quote me any where, I rate Azubuike Okechukwu more than Mikel Agu.

People seem to forget the boy is just 20 years old and just still emerging.

Yea Mikel Agu to contend with,need to prove to Rohr is better.Hope invitation is extend to him

Thank God the coach is experienced enough and know you didn't gamble with sure

BascoVanVeli:


He is not a machine, he needs rest every now and then. Go look at Liverpool's last goal this past weekend, Ndidi was beat up the field by the referee who started from behind him.

Since u watched d match i need to concur,hope he shake it off coz his form is needed against Zambia.

Safarigirl lolz calm down
Hello everyone, been one of those ,that have been following this thread ,from day 1, from first page..

I have Never intended to post anything, but to just read ,and learn from great analyst here.

But the situation of things here is not good, and the thread needs to heal, so as one of elders of the readers crew, we agree that thesupernerd, is one of those, that reading his posts, excites us.., so we are not happy he left.. Buhhhh, opening his own thread is not a bad thing, but the series of thing that happened before it, is very bad

Now , the supernerd, correct guy, I like you, but truth is, you have broken some people heart by leaving, note(not because of opening your own thread),; but by leaving, when they asked you not to.. Not cool, they see you as family..

Now safari, honestly, i think you chased supernerd away, wait for it, don't get pissed yet, not intentionally tho, see ehn,that guy likes you, so it got to him that, that you called him "rude," it showed that you are a good friend by doing that, yes, buh you were probably too honest, and maybe you should HV been more pragmatic about it, the bluntness shocked him, e pain am, as a friend, he didn't expect the bluntness and the harshness I of the statement..

And the end of the day, thanks to all of you who keep educating me'\us on this thread..

Iconz4- father father, and like a father, you can be to honest. , for sentimental peeps like me
Thegoodjoe- I like you my guy
Forgiveness- I no knw if I like you
Micheal-I no like you, you always dey vex me

A well articulated read indeed. No serious team goes to the world cup with a raft of new players. We made that mistake in 2002 and nearly lost 3 games at a spin.
Barring injuries and serious loss of form, the nucleus of this team is world cup bound. If we must do well in Russia, a lot of strategic and progressive planning needs to be in place.

I would suggest the Nff invests massively in having a world class back room staff for the Eagles.

The services of a world class dietitian, Physio, video analysts, team psychologist must be engaged. I will like an American physio and IT specialist. I think they are the best in the buisness.
If we can upgrade our backroom, I see us pulling up trees in Russia.

You are very right at the bold part... But can NFF see this suggestions? We really need this and don't forget Baba Rohr get his own video analysts... Will he sack him and hire another one?

And if you observed well... Any improvement on the term is base on recommendations of baba Rohr...

Just hope he recommend addition back room staff...


I am really wishing we beat this Zambia team...

If we qualify... New sponsors will surface which can help in securing some world class back room staff provided NFF is looking at this direction... Oga AmajuPinnick focus is on Qatar 2022...

Kog45:
Good one icon4s.My man u have been in this game since 80s if am right,then u know now much about team evolution which some don't understand.

In a crucial WC match i don't expect people to clamour for new inclusions,we all knew there are certain players who have not been living up to expectations of recent but they have been part of d team and for now they w remain with d team till qualification.

The massive introduction of new players is uncalled for even after qualifications but whether we like it or not some players w break into d team which is normal.

No coach after qualifications w discard his team and started bringing all sorts of players, this is what affected Keshi at 2014 WC,he failed to build on solid foundation of 2013.

I told a moniker here that 75% of present squad w make d team but he said No,so no point of going further arguing coz have been in d game for so long.I can roll out 15 players that w be in Russia except injury occurs.

Truly we have some grey areas to amend before world cup,our CB need to be fortified, thanks Awaziem is showing promises but i don't see Agbo as a class for WC,LB need solid player coz Echiejele is lacking it now,our midfield our unique selling point and it w take a special player to break into d team.

Truly our attack needed to be beef up especially striking role,at least we need a player to compliment Ighalo,Iheanacho upfront,though we are not short of players in this category across Europe.

I don't want to say much on goalkeeping dept, it was just too obvious we lack d class for WC,no thanks to Ikeme health.

i tend to agree with you but to a certain extent. yes, there is no need changing the core of the squad, but why cant we have a strong bench. get players who brings enough competition, not some mediocres. let me give an example, in the double header against cameroun, the moment mikel was subbed, our midfield collapsed. does dat means we cnt get a capable replacement for mikel?, even if its not up to mikel's standard but he can still hold his own...nt guys like mikel agu

NIKE Cheer Eagles On With New Kit For World Cup Qualification Showdown With Zambia




Ever Since the Nigeria Football Federation entered into an agreement with sports wear manufacturer, Nike, as the kit sponsor of the Nigerian national football teams in 2015, it is evident it is rubbing off positively on the teams.

Founded on January 25, 1964, as Blue Ribbon Sports, the American multinational corporation officially became Nike, Inc. on May 30, 1971.

Since it came into existence, Nike has been engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, and world wide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services.

And over the years, Nike has contributed to the successes of top athletes and nationals football teams. And one team that readily comes to mind is five-time FIFA World Cup winners Brazil.

It is imperative to note that Nike are no strangers when it comes to identifying with successful Nigerian national teams.


Back in 1994 after Nike first took over as kit sponsors of the Nigerian national football teams, the Dream Team went on to create history as the first African team to win football gold when they achieved the feat at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

The Super Eagles also were successful when it came to the World Cup qualifiers as they qualified for both the France 1998 and Korea/Japan 2002 FIFA World Cups.

Following the achievements of these teams in the past, bringing Nike on board again as the kit sponsor was a no brainer for the Nigeria Football Federation.

Since their second coming, the Nigerian nationals teams have not looked back as it has been one achievements to another.
Among the achievements are the Super Falcons winning the 2016 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations in Cameroon, the home-based Super Eagles qualifying for the 2018 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN), the U-23 Eagles winning bronze at Rio 2016 Olympics and the big one, the Super Eagles on the verge of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Without a doubt, the main reason why the teams are achieving is the uniqueness and quality features in the Nike jerseys worn by the teams.

Among the features of the jersey is the ventilation strip down the side and the exterior of the shirts and shorts, where it quickly evaporates.

Another interesting features of the jersey is the front and back panels of the shirt which increases airflow and facilitating enhanced movement.

And as part of Nike’s efforts in making sure fans are not left out, the jersey is made available both in and outside Nigeria.
Some of the locations where fans can purchase the jersey includes Novare Lekki Mall, Ikeja City Mall, Surulere Adeniran Ogunsanya Mall, Jabi Lake Mall, Ceddi Plaza, Port Harcourt Mall, and Marina Mall in Ghana.

Also the jersey comes at a reasonable price as it retails for N21,000. However, its presently on a discount till the Super Eagles match on the October 7th against Zambia, and it currently retails at N18,900 (10% discount).

That's it,quite agreed with u,a new player must be better than d one on d ground.For example Ajiboye came in and displaced Alampasu,meaning Ezenwa and Akpeyi needs to sit tight.

Pls lets go down to memory lane to make things clearly to those who believe that a lot of players are still needed in this team.

The evolution of 1980 nations cup squad started in 1976 with player like an half caste Tunji Banjo,Adokiye Aimesemeaka,Henry Nwosu broke into d team to 1980 nations cup,d team lasted till 1982 with young Keshi,Humphery Edebor,Ademola Adeshina making d team.

Maroc 88 team started in 1984 but d team couldn't make it to afcon 86 eliminated by Zambia losing 1 nil at Lusaka and goaless draw in Lagos but d team came out strong later.This team can be compared to d present squad coz a German was engaged in d name of Manfred Horner who brought in few youngs and new players like Wole Odegbami, Ndubuisi Okosieme,Folorunsho Okenla,Andrew Uwe,Bunmi Adigun

I remember evolution of US94 squad by Westerhoff and i can say d building of that team started late 89 in a match against Cameroon in Yaoundé and d team moved from there to Algiers 90,Senegal 92,Tunisia 94,only two player broke into that team,namely Chidi Nwanu and Mike Emenalo to US 94,though Westerhoff had good 4 to 5 years.

The evolution of afcons 98,2000&2002 started partially at US 94 but fully at Atlanta 96 where we have bunch of Super Eagles players making d team,players like Uche Okechucwu,Emma Amuneke,Daniel Amokachie, Victor Ikpeba,Tijani Babangida and fringe Eagles prayers like Kanu Nwankwo,Celestine Babayaro,Taribo West,Garba Lawal.It must be noted that very few players broke into this team.

The new era of Super Eagles started at 2002 WC and it last till 2010 WC,this was a period we have different class of players coming into d team coz it cannot be compared to d evolutionary of their predecessors but notwithstanding we can mentioned d numbers of players that broke into d team toward 2010 WC.

The 2014 WC team started in 2012 after Eagles failed to qualify for afcon 2012,with superlatives performance in 2013 winning afcon but their evolution was misery coz Keshi couldn't keep d momentum by bringing in different class of players.2015 and 2017 we couldn't make afcon due to a lot of factors.

Now on d verge of making WC with Rohr in charge,if we look at this team,we just need to give credit to Rohr for able to raise a very good team in a short period,no coach has ever done this with Super Eagles.At least we can say this is our XI for a very long time, praying that d evolution of this team extended to 2022 WC.

Presently we are having a team we can back on,hoping nothing happens towards their qualifications to Russia.I reiterate it that 75% of this squad w make it to Russia.

Yeah a good analysis.

Not bringing down the younger ones among us here but the truth is that some of us have been in the game for long and so we really understand how these things work. Experience they say is the best teacher.

Yesterday, humility said I was always defending the coaches and make them look super humans or something. The truth is that is their profession and they have loads of years of experience to back it up. You can't walk into a medical Doctor's office and start disproving his diagnosis, prescription or something.

Following the trend of build up of the national teams in the past I see this current team peaking between 2019 AFCON and 2022 WC. The relative lack of depth in experience in several department of the team may become an undoing at the critical stages of next year's WC. For eg our own Balogun "omo Dodondawa" is going to the world cup for the first time. With all his heroics here in African, his true test will come when he faces forwards like Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Aguero, Sanchez, etc name them. We never knew Eguavoen was our weakest link in that 94 Class until Roberto Baggio exposed him.

I believe so much in this team. The quality is there and thus far the technical crew are maximizing it .

i tend to agree with you but to a certain extent. yes, there is no need changing the core of the squad, but why cant we have a strong bench. get players who brings enough competition, not some mediocres. let me give an example, in the double header against cameroun, the moment mikel was subbed, our midfield collapsed. does dat means we cnt get a capable replacement for mikel?, even if its not up to mikel's standard but he can still hold his own...nt guys like mikel agu

Yea u are right.If u read my post very well,i said 75% of this squad likely to make it to Russia but with d remaining 25% we can fix things up and team gonna paint Russia red.

Things like these can happen to any team. You would hardly have a fringe player who is equally as good as the regular player.

I would not know exactly what role Mikel Agu was assigned to perform when he came in for Mikel Obi. Was it CM role or DM role? Mikel was played as an AM and I don't think Mikel Agu's introduction came as a like for like switch. Looks like Agu played a deeper role.

That was just a conservative move to secure the lead but it almost cost us. Besides, it was normal that at the dying moments of that game that the Cameroonians would come all over us because they needed that win desperately.

Safarigirl lolz calm down
Hello everyone, been one of those ,that have been following this thread ,from day 1, from first page..

I have Never intended to post anything, but to just read ,and learn from great analyst here.

But the situation of things here is not good, and the thread needs to heal, so as one of elders of the readers crew, we agree that thesupernerd, is one of those, that reading his posts, excites us.., so we are not happy he left.. Buhhhh, opening his own thread is not a bad thing, but the series of thing that happened before it, is very bad

Now , the supernerd, correct guy, I like you, but truth is, you have broken some people heart by leaving, note(not because of opening your own thread),; but by leaving, when they asked you not to.. Not cool, they see you as family..

Now safari, honestly, i think you chased supernerd away, wait for it, don't get pissed yet, not intentionally tho, see ehn,that guy likes you, so it got to him that, that you called him "rude," it showed that you are a good friend by doing that, yes, buh you were probably too honest, and maybe you should HV been more pragmatic about it, the bluntness shocked him, e pain am, as a friend, he didn't expect the bluntness and the harshness I of the statement..

And the end of the day, thanks to all of you who keep educating me'\us on this thread..

true, but that doesnt mean we have a strong bench, they might not be good as the regular players, but they should be able to hold there own when push comes to shove.

You dnt mean it? Slap me in real life? You must be a joker. Am a woman like you, but if you try that in real life am very sure I will beat hell of you. Concerning supernerd issue, let him rest. Stop standing against anybody that suggests how to make peace reign. Shikena.

it's the likes of you that chased Supernerd away, carry your wahala from the rock you were hiding in to disrupt the thread

Keep my name away from whatever idiocy you want to propagate. If you don't know, just shut up.

And once again, phuck you!

We know this. The coaches are working towards that
