tbaba1234:We need to strengthen our back-line with good back-ups who will compete for starting Shirts. Modified:In 2014 France came-up with a plan after watching our previous game, which was to pay "special attention" to Onazi.When Onazi got injured there was no capable replacement for him,which cost us a quarter-final finish. |

tbaba1234:My belle the sweet me. He plays CB and LB. They should launch a drive for the Torunarigha guy, maybe his Dad will have a change of mind. The truth is that those boys stand a better chance with us than the German National team. Once we get them and since they are quite young o mehn, our defence will be solid for a long time to come. 2 Likes 1 Share |

EEGA: I agree. Jordan Torunarigha's dad does not want him playing for Nigeria. With Uduokhai and Awaziem, we have CB back up. Uduokhai can also play on the left. With Aina and Ebuehi, we have cover on the wings. 4 Likes |

Oasis007: Aiyenugba has been overlooked for long despite playing regularly for his team in Europe. What is the criteria for choosing players into the SE team? They said he fumbled against Guinea but if you ask them for evidence dem no go fit show am. This is the same way they crucified Daniel Akpeyi for the 3 goals he conceeded against South Africa when we know he was never at fault. Prior to the game against Guinea Aiyenugba kept clean sheets in 2 of our Africa nations cup qualifiers but dem no see those ones. I see they waited for him to make the mistake because they don't want him in the team. But how Aiyenugba was at fault for Siasia error still beats my imagination. Siasia didn't do his homework well before he played that match because we could have qualified with just a win but they were searching for a goal at the dying minutes when we were already leading with two goals. They left the defense and exposed Aiyenugba live and direct. Some people who no sabi post think say to kick ball na anywhere belle face. ![]() Dem know no sabi say you can make a keeper motionless with just a kick especially when he his very close to the keeper. ![]() I don do am well well. Even the best goalkeeper in the world no go smell my balls when I am close to him. ![]() 2 Likes |

tbaba1234:Too strong. Bookmakers are putting their bets on Germany. I'd be surprised if they don't win it. They play a wicked kind of attacking football and they are confident to surge forward because they know their defence is solid. They have Neuer, Terstegen. Omo they are in their bloom. 2 Likes |

Humility017:Sixteen Nations qualified for the 1966 World Cup not 8. That Shehu has really pushed himself and has turned out good for the RB position. The thing I love about him is that he is very comfortable with the ball on his feet. I guess that comes from being a Midfielder. It's early days but walahi I don't think Ola Aina can edge that guy off but ultimately it's best for the team cos we would be brimming with so much quality and this guys are young. Why England are perennial underachievers is a mystery to me. In this modern era of the game all the power houses of Europe have given a good account of themselves. Italy won it 2006. France was in the finals in 2006, Spain won it in 2010, Netherlands was in the finals in 2010, Germany won it in 2014. England to my chagrin always under perform. |

I think we will get Torunarigha eventually. The boy want to play for Nigeria. His dad will relax at some point. Dominic Iorga Snr did the same, talking about his son getting to 21 first. Uduokhai is even a slight step higher.. would be great! Modified Getting Akpboguma later on (after Russia) won't be a bad idea tbaba1234: 1 Like |

tbaba1234: If the guy isn't doing well I understand. Remember, he was mocked here when Panatiakos loaned him out when one yeye coach came from Italy. They said if he's good enough why was he declared surplus to requirement? Why was he sent on loan to a lesser club? Even when I tried to explain that the coach didn't like him because prior to the coach employment Ajagun was the main man for the biggest club in Greece. They kept insisting if he's good enough. But when Guardiola declared Kelechi Iheanacho surplus to requirement, nobody talk say if he is good enough..... they rather rained curses on Guardiola and even tried to bring down Gabriel Jesus. ![]() But now, in their very eyes Ajagun went to the Eredivise. When he was there you personally claimed he's good enough because you assumed he wasn't playing regularly until facts began to show your face. When facts began to role for face, the story was no longer if he is good enough nor he's not playing regularly in the Eredivise but he's playing in a poor League. Bhuuuhahaha! ![]() Some people were even mocking him here when they claimed his mate is going to Belgium but he doesn't have a place to go. Behold, Ajagun landed in Belgium. ![]() Now, another stori don dey show face. ![]() 1 Like |

do4luv14:more often than not, the most OBVIOUS team to win, usually doesn't. A lot of things go into winning a game, sometimes you can have a team of the best players in a competition. It's a perfect team and all, but one day, they will play a game with a lesser team and luck will evade them. No need to talk too much on it |

blueto: Iheanacho has played the center forward role and done well. An example was his days in the academy of City when he played under Patrick Vieira. Another was his hat trick game against Crystal Palace. Hazard has played the Center Forward role and done well for Chelsea. Aguero has played multi multiple roles also. It is the way the game is played today. Look at CR7 who excelled on the side and is also making good account for himself as a center forward. Look at Danillo at City who this season has played as a right back, left back, Center back and defensive midfielder. The game today requires more than being restricted to one wing. Delph recently put in a brilliant performance against Chelsea playing an unfamiliar left back role and we see Shehu perform brilliantly on the right back when he can also play as a defensive midfielder. So when making a selection, we look for our best set-up with where we can make the most effect offensively and defensively. For now, Iheanacho is our best option up front if we weigh in all the factors like mobility, pressing, skills, holding up play, passing, finishing etc. That is why he gets the nod most times when I make my list. Pellegrini plays two center forwards and that makes it difficult to hold the Attacking pair. It is always more difficult playing as a one man striker. |
