AIG07:Your observations on the lapses of the team in the absence of the trio is right but it doesn't mean we don't stand a chance against them. Two things have have colored your judgement regarding our chances without the guys you mentioned: our loss to South Africa and Zambia's resurgence upon defeating a fracked up Algerian side. Toe to toe we match if not better them in every dept save goal keeping. |

"U know who" still dey join dey make mat Echiejile: Super Eagles Will Bag Another Massive Win In Uyo Against Zambia October 3, 2017 4:18 pm ![]() By Johnny Edward in Uyo: Sivasspor defender, Elderson Echiejile has expressed his optimism that the Super Eagles will beat Zambia in this weekend’s 2018 World Cup qualifier, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Saturday, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. Echiejile is poised for another starting berth on Saturday for the three time African Champions. He says that Nigeria players are in top spirit ahead of the crucial game. “I am so excited and happy to be part of the squad for the Zambia cracker and I’m confident we will pick another massive victory,” Echiejile told Completesportsnigeria.com here in Uyo. “Everyone’s dream is to see us fly Nigeria’s flag at the World Cup in Russia next year. With hard work, determination and with the support of Nigerians, we will beat Zambia to qualify.” Echiejile adds: “I spoke with my teammates. They are all in high spirit and willing to give their all whenever called upon. We are mentally and physically fit as we move closer to the match day.” --CompleteSportsNigeria 1 Like |

AIG07:Na so ooo. The generation that entered their manhood in the late 70's through to the 90's had too much poetry in them- in music they gave us the best , in the movies the best, in football the best, in boxing the best ( AJ has brought in some little of the umphh that fizzled out after the Tyson and Lewis, Evander era). I just console myself by telling myself that I've heard the best and watched the best. Let them continue with their static stats. |

Balogun is a very important player in the rear. If we had just Balogun of those we missed against SA, we won't have lost that match. That outlines his importance. I posted snapshots here earlier on our player selections for that Egypt double header and the Cameroon friendly. For the Cameroon friendly, we had Balogun pairing with Ambrose at CB. And we went on to beat Cameroon 3-0. Cameroon started with about 60% of the same team we met a month ago. Even Vincent Abubakar started. For the Egypt double header, Ambrose and Oboabona were our CB pairings. Amuzie benched Echiejile in both encounters. Against SA, it was Ekong and Awaziem at CB. What's common about all the formations we used in the games we performed poorly? Answer: the absence of Balogun. Another observation, Balogun-Ambrose partnership is probably as good as Balogun-Ekong partnership. At the same time, let's not forget that our defense set-up have come a long way. This is what have been helping us more than the individual abilities of the players -- with the exception of Balogun. We will have to rely on our wingers and DM once again to cover for our deficiencies at the rear. And with Balogun present, we won't have much to worry about. AIG07: 1 Like |

Victor Moses, Ola Aina & Alex Iwobi Absent As Super Eagles Train For One Hour Published: October 03, 2017 ![]() Twenty players, including two named on the standby list, trained with the Super Eagles as they began their preparations for the 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Tuesday evening, allnigeriasoccer.com understands. The players that didn't participate in the training session are Chelsea duo Victor Moses and Ola Aina, Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi, Porto loanee Chidozie Awaziem and Gent star Moses Simon. In the workout which was open to the fans and media, Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr first briefed the players before they started stretching and working with the ball, then they played two practice games. In the first practice game, Rohr divided the players into two teams of four each and after ten minutes four new players will be introduced for each team, while the players on the sidelines were passively involved in the game. There were eight players on each side in the second practice game, the pitch was made wider with a goalkeeper on each team. Training started at 1716 hours and lasted for approximately one hour.

Mujtahida:No. It's been a while have been observing this it preceds the camping in france. We often lack idea going forward in the absence of the duo. We tend to sit back and defend more or report to hoof balls without them. That's was one of the reason we struggled against a lowly rated Corsica(that's if they are ranked by Fifa), senegal in those friendlies . If you've noticed Rohr no longer sub the duo earlier as was the order of the day before. That's why v. Moses is often left behind to initiates attack. |

Joebie: From my perspective Echiejile is the WEAKEST LINK. Without a bona-fide left back a makeshift Aina will be better than Echiejile. If we all can see it, then definitely the Zambians can. That gap needs to be plugged. First choice striker is Ighalo no contest for now. The legendary Mikel put in a first class performances against Cameroon considering that he was not really match fit. That's simply amazing. However, he may not last the 90 minutes, I would then replace him with Iwobi who is the next best thing to a playmaker we have in the mold of Mikel. I would like to see another striker come in, not sure who is most, in-form. Because at the moment KC is not firing on all cylinders and his confidence is not on a high. |

jihday:Sir, you and I know that our darling super eagles couldn't even make it to the group stage. I am in no way hyping the Zambians. But defeating Algeria home and away is no joke. Especially at their backyard. Their recent poor outings have made you forget who they are and what they are capable of doing anytime anyday. |
