Ok na enjoy

Watching England play Scotland U21 the forward line being led by Solanke and Tega and the midfield being run by the second Tega.

Will reply later.

Mali 0:0 CIV. FT
Morocco will go top if they win against Gabon tomorrow.

forgiveness:


Moses Odubajo could challenge for the RB position. I rate him highly.


Uzoho is yet to make De LA coruna bench. Hope he does.

I am sure you know that Moses has not played a single game this season for Hull and he plays as a RB.

In addition there is the small matter of the best RB in the championship Aina in front of him.

the only way we can get the like of Saudi Arabia in our group is if we improved on our FIFA ranking

We shall be in the top 20 in the world

funny enough, barring any injury, these 5 are all going to the world cup again. Irrespective, we may still get them.

I don't think Rohr will use the same lineup that played Cameroon tomorrow..

One of Iwobi,Aina,Etebo and maybe Iheanacho will start tomorrow

komekn:


That's if he is actually good enough.

Of course, he is good enough.

Three Naija boys score all the goals for England.

Tega, Tega and Solanke.

Tega Onomah has scored a whopper, did anybody see his goal for England probably at least 25 yards, taken on the chest and one looping shot, sensational.

Tega in midfield has taken his game to another level getting game time at Aston Villa has helped him improve.

forgiveness:


Of course, he is good enough.

I am not saying he isn't good but I rate Fred Onyedinma more than him. I do feel there are other options better than him. He should really be trying to get more game time.

I want to see him improve.

These Zambians are just full of running. Like a swarm of bees they don't let u settle. A tactical and gifted side like SE will beat them better beat.

When next you check your profile, you would see something that reads"..... your ban would expire by 2088" hehehe.

Joebie:
Well i’m sorry to say the first thing we need to know is if they are perfuming. Next, we want to look at their opposition (and that’s the league they play).

Let me take your names one by one

1. Ike Ugbo
You have a case about Ugbo (Barnsley). He’s started against Spurs at the EFA cup and has had a goal and assist in the Championship. Maybe he would have been considered in the first team if he were a Liverpool player or their U23 side.

Counter: Taiwo Awoniyi likewise will probably be in Liverpool first team, u23 team, or loaned to a championship side if not for work permit issues. Taiwo Awoniyi scored on his debut in belgium and have not looked back since then.

2. Bobby Adekanye
He is just a promising player. A liverpool U23 player. We know Klopp likes to give talented youngsters a chance. As regards current performance stats, Awoniyi is better. Adekanye has not done anything noteworthy in the Reserve league (U23).

Counter: same as above

3. Dominic Solanke: you have a real argument here (NOT CONSIDERING U20 WC). That he gets to have playing time in the EPL and is not overwhelmed by the occasion, then sure he is promising. Solanke better than Awoniyi? -- still debatable.

4. Ejaria
This one does not count. He is a midfielder. Don’t forget the context was promising forwards.

5. As regards Tega we’ve already made that argument

6. Ademola Lookman has a goal in the Premier League till date — from last season. Lately, finding it had to get games in Everton.


Please Please Please sir, if you want to name names, lets talk performance first.

So far, comparing Solanke and Ugbo, to Awoniyi is debatable. You don’t have a strong case with the other names.

Questions for you:
1. Should Awoniyi be able to get work permit and Klopp decide not to loan him away from England, would that automatically mean FOR YOU he would be in the same level as Solanke?

2. Why do you rate Awoniyi low? Besides that he plays Belgium, is has his performances been poor?

I responded to your view of Awoniyi from two perspectives. Firstly, his standing in Liverpool and how close he is to first team football for his parent club.

The second context is how close he is to first team slot as a striker for Nigeria SE.

Liverpool has ambitions to win the premiership and as such getting to be a striker will be difficult. They are always looking for seasoned, tested top quality World class strikers.

Getting into the first team at Liverpool require that you are seen in the best light. Players who are in the academy being seen day in day out and who are then sent from Kirkby to Melwood to train with the first team. Have over riding advantage. Add to that the local preference and obligation bto produce local talent. This puts Awoniyi in a position of disadvantage.

For him to get the attention of Liverpool he will need to be one of the top strikers in Belgium. He currently is not albeit it very early days.

In thus regard and in the context closeness to first team football Awoniyi is clearly behind Solanke, Adekanya, Ojo and Oviemuno. You may disagree.

The second context is playing for Nigeria there are too many quality players ahead of him playing in Italy, China, England, etc.


Direct comparison Adekanya I do not rate very highly so the possibility that Awoniyi is better than him exists. I really do not know I see Bobby quite a lot up close live and personal in training and in games. But I haven't seen much of Awoniyi the same way just his stats at his club.

I haven't seen Awoniyi play in the EPL and or the Championship so I do not know if he could cut it. Quite a lot of top players come to the EPL from other top leagues and struggle, (i.e. Succes and Musa) So that kind of comparison is academic. Last season Awoniyi struggled badly this season he has stepped up can he step up into the Championship and or EPL is a very big question.

The Championship is next door to the EPL playing thier is a great stepping stone to the EPL. You will.be on the mind if all premiership managers of you are making waves. So just by proximity all the players I mentioned have an edge over him Awoniyi.

Awoniyi will not get a an automatic slot in the championship, he is unknown. Hasn't played in the U23 league so nobody really knows him and what he can do. He has no English playing time pedigree to launch himself forward.

Would Ugbo be in Liverpool team I would like to think yes, but not a definite, he is fast strong and can dance on the ball.

With all those stories we heard about them back in the day??
Really strange.

If Zambia then wins by 3 and we lose by 3 Zambia would then be going. Just want us to finish it here. There's nothing as bad as playing a team that has nothing to gain from a game and blooding new players that wana impress. Don't wanna play an Algerian side with nothing to play for than pride at home.

daveP:
Lol. we have +7, there have +2. meaning they have to score 3 unreplied goals to smell ice. for every goal we score, they'll have to score 3+1....

Even if papi Rohr fielded team b, we cant lose by that margin. But they would!

na Zambia i dey tok of o. na dem ni 3 unreplied goals. well, its shocking most of their hope is in their Mweene and not their defence. wondering what an IHEANACHO & IWOBI would do when scattering that def.

Just went thru the European qualification groups, and i must say that Germany and Belgium scare me. But why do teams that didnt top table have another chance in the guise of playoff? cheating! 9+4=13 for Europe and 5 for Africa?!! Hmm

Exactly why i opined that our full backs may not join the attack. But, with due respect to papi Rohr's crew, i'm sure its been handled already. Either we use early surprise tactic, or make them do Usain Boltings and then, gbam!!

Bro na maths me I de do. Assuming we draw (God forbid!), then Zambia would be +2 and Naija +7. If we lose by 3 we'd go to -4 and if they win by 3 they'd go to +5 and edge us out. So I don't wanna go thru all this calculator shenanigans in November, so let's jist kpuf them 2mrw. So Zambia doesn't really need truck load of goals per say. It depends on how and if we decide to 'tian'.

Zambia Coach Wedson Nyirenda Provides Update On Fitness Of Star Striker Daka

The Chipolopolo of Zambia had a first time feel of the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo ahead of their game against Nigeria tomorrow in the race to be at the World Cup 2018 in Russia.


Before the start of their training session which was held behind close doors, coach Wedson Nyirenda had a brief chat with the media men at the stadium, and provided update on the injury situation in the camp of his team.


Already they are without three key players in Rainford Kalaba, Emmanuel Banda and Edward Chilufya due to injury and work permit issues, but the coach insist they can cope without the trio.


‎”Kalaba is just a player like any other player, so we have made this team consisting of other 18 players, there is no player who is indispensable in Zambia this time, we only depend on who is going to deliver on that day and according to our plan”, he said.


Speaking on the fitness of top striker Patson Daka, the coach reveal the forward has recovered from the knock that made him pull out of their training session in Abuja yesterday.


“Daka is here, he is okay, the only ones ‎that are not with us due to injury is Bernard Mwila and Emmanuel Banda and Edward Chilufya is not here because his team are working on his permit in Sweden. So the rest of the players are here, and I think we have a good side that will do the job tomorrow “, he concluded.

They will tire out easily because we have speed too but will only use it tactically.

Sure, thats y i said even our team B cant colet 3 widout scoring. So yes we go show dem more. Besides na +4 we go dey.

Im i the only one noticing the knack headedness of their coach?

They have to play that way. That's their best bet. If they let us settle, we will be even more dangerous. Either way there is no escape for them tomorrow.

ChrisKels:


That's why it's a legerdemain and not a reality per se but that's not In any way ruling out the chances of it happening. We all have the right to create fantasies..

But wait oo, if Uzoho gets the nod to be Deportivo's numero uno before January, u don't think he would displace both Akpeyi and Ezenwa to become Eagles number one in the absence of Enyeama and Ikeme?

If u are good enough, u are old enough. Age ain't no determinant factor here oo. Ask Muslera and of course Gigi Donarunma.

My man am not talking about age, if he is damn good no issue but we don't need any average keeper again,what we need now is top class keeper.

How are u sure byJanuary he w be number 1 despite not making it to d bench at d moment and u believe we can bank on such keeper for WC coz he is in Deportivo LA Coruna.

Iwobi’s Father Offers Tammy Abraham Advice On Switching Allegiance To Nigeria

Mr Chuka Iwobi, the father of Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi‎ has offered a word of advice to players like England youth international striker Tammy Abraham who are still eligible to represent Nigeria at senior level..


The father of Iwobi was instrumental in the choice of his son who switched allegiance to Nigeria after representing England at youth level, and he has admonished players of Nigerian descent about switching allegiance.


Iwobi Snr. gave the advice while speaking to journalist at the training ground of the Super Eagles ahead of their clash ‎against Zambia this weekend in Uyo.


“The simple answer is there is a lot of misconceptions trying to do that. We also saw it when we first switched. For a player who has been in abroad for the better part of his years there are always going to be so many difficulties”, he said.


“My answer has always been come and see for yourself and don’t make assumptions. We came, we saw and we are here.


Obviously there are ways to improve on but it’s not about that and the positives surpass the negatives.


“I’m sure every father will be proud to see his son play for his country of birth”, he concluded.
