safarigirl:https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1238306/LiveStatistics/Europe-UEFA-Champions-League-2017-2018-Anderlecht-Paris-Saint-Germain this is the stats from the game. A team that had 16 shots and 6 on target, same as PSG played very well. Ball possession was 50-50 and they had the better pass success rate. Let's look at their goals and compare here. Mbappe's goal was insane. The goalkeeper should be saving that all day long, the defence was not at fault one bit, they did their job. Then immediately after the goal, the next chance was for Onyekuru, he should have buried that chance, it was a lot easier than that of Mbappe but he missed it, the game could have been 1-1 there. The next chance also fell to their number 9, he should have cutback inside again and buried that chance but at the end he did test the gk well enough, it could and should have been 2-1 at this point if they were a little more clinical. At 2-1 the game would have changed, for a team that had the chance to be leading 2-1 against PSG, and this chances were created from beautiful attacking football, I think they did very well |

kellycute: Yes, the header was right before I joined the game, when their 9 hit that shot that the GK parried, the commentator said that they had already 4 good chances and I could only count three, now I understand that he added the header too. I already pointed it out 2 Likes |

DrKlever: Let me tell you something. The operative word is PROOF, I know a lot of heads of recruitment and a very small number of football club managers. But one thing is clear, they know that we cut age, they know that we are telling lies and most times they do not believe our ages. But you know what, THEY DON'T CARE as long as thier is no substantive evidential proof and their is money to be made. Everybody gets thier cut everybody is happy. That's essentially the bottom line. |

kellycute: Yes it is somewhat exaggerated, but it is more of optimistic favouritism on my part for Tega, however, it's not entirely impossible, just unlikely. Why, because, Tega understands the EPL more in my opinion, is a better poacher of goals and probably has about the same pace as Morata, but he Tega has better aerial prowess. Putting all that together in a much better team Chelsea for Tega means that it is a good possibility he will score more. I rest my emotional patriotic biased case. 1 Like |

forgiveness: Any player you pick from those categories won't stop SE from the mandatory first round loss to Argentina. A win and a draw in subsequent group matches and a gritty, nail bitting slim victory over Poland in the second round. Then comes France in the 1/8 finals with Mbappe doing a hattrick. ![]() |

junnyjake: they were already losing, 88 minutes or so, the match was over. You can also point out the error that Mbappe almost scored from but did you see how quick their defence was? They immediately put pressure on Neymar when the keeper saved from Mbappe. Nobody is above mistake, even Gerard has made one or two mistakes. Meanwhile if they had gone 2-1 up, I believe they would have done a lot better |

Humility017: There is something we don’t talk about that much essentially because most people do not know. What was the nature, substance, timing of the approach, who did the approach and where was it done. We have a very good bunch of top Nigerian players in the England U21. We assume that they refused. In many instances a proper approach was not made. Right now we have 4/5 players who should be invited to camp and then let Rohr decide. Dominic Iorfa Seyi Ojo Tega Onomah Sone Aluko Fred Onyedinma For me Tega Abrahams is no longer a prospective player but a proven tested and confirmed No.9 now the hottest young striker in the premiership. That's why he is not in the list above. He brings immediate quality to the SE. I could add that all five in my list bring definite quality that is proven and tested as well. But how much we do not know until they play a few friendlies and we see them in camp. |

NIGERIANS TO WATCH IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE RED STAR BELGRADE vs ARSENAL Arsenal travel to Belgrade with Chuba Akpom ( ? ) and Alex Iwobi FK ZORYA vs HERTHA BERLIN Jordan Torunarigha will hope not to give away another penalty in Ukraine, as Hertha tackle Zorya. BEER SHEVA vs FCSB Super Eagles duo, Anthony Nwakaeme and John Ogu welcome FC Steaua Bucharest to Israel. KONYASPOR vs SALZBURG 24 year old Konyaspor Center Foward, Patrick Friday Eze, will hope to open his goal account in Europe, after getting an assist in the last Europa League fixture. They entertain Austrian club, Salzburg. LUGANO vs PLZN Super Eagles hopeful, left-back Stanley Amuzie will likely make his debut in European club competition as his swiss side, Lugano host Viktoria Plzen of Czech Republic. OSTERSUND vs BILBAO Ostersunds influential forward, Alhaji Gero will be unleashed again when they welcome Atletico Bilbao at Jämtkraft Arena. Gero has had a hand in 2 of 3 goals scored by Ostersund so far in this Campaign. WAREGEM vs VITESSE Vitesse travel to Belgium to face Peter Olayinka's Waregem. Waregem has scored only one goal after two games in the Europa League -- thanks to Olayinka's assist. Will Kingsley Madu make Waregem's matchday squad? ZENIT vs ROSENBORG Samuel Adegbenro hasn't found the net in Europe since his famous brace that sent Ajax packing. Adegbenro who scored one of Rosenborg's goals this past weekend, will hope to replicate his fine Eliteserien form away in Petersburg. AUSTRIA VIENNA vs RIJEKA Austria Vienna host Rijeka with Ibrahim "Muazam" Alhassan expected to be in the thick of things. Nigerian "Gianlugi Buffon" David Nwokolor is expected to make Rijeka's bench for the first time in Europe. He was listed by Rijeka in their last two league matches. EVERTON vs LYON Lookman Ademola is expected to be in Everton's matchday squad as they tackle visiting Lyon. SKENDERBEU vs PARTIZAN After missing out from Partizan's matchday squad in their last Europa League fixture, Theophilus Solomon will hope to return as they travel to Skenderbeau (Albania) ZLIN vs FC COPENHAGEN Ubong Ekpai's Zlin welcome FC Copenhagen of Denmark. Moses has been a regular for Zlin so far both in Europe and in the Czech top-tier. The right winger will hope to get on the scoresheet after failing to score for a while now. He has managed two goals so far in the domestic league. |

I think I agree with you on Ike Uche. His style of football as you have described will come in handy especially when playing with the likes of Mikel and Iwobi, it will be enterprising to watch and together they can cause havoc in any defense. I will like an inclusion of Uche and Tega to the team to compete with Nacho and Ighalo. Mickael2: 1 Like |

Joebie: Chuba Akpom is a player to whom much was expected but zero has been delivered. Ademola has not had a run of games to prove his pedigree. So it's difficult to say how good he is Lyon will be a good test. For me though Fred Onyedinma is better but Ademola may slightly shade him on goals both are with wingers essentially. |

I must admit, after watching Abraham's 26 goals from last term, and his 4 goals so far in the Premier League, he is more of a poacher --something the Super Eagles is lacking. And I can't find any player home or abroad with his poaching instincts. He can definitely bring something to the team. As regards the others, yes let Rohr decide. These are young guys (excluding Aluko) so when I think of them, I think beyond Russia. So why not just make the move now for the future? How about Tom Adeyemi the CMF? His stats not too impressive, but his video clips tells more. Have you seen him play? komekn: |

Humility017: I remembered him and Chuks Aneke he was younger than Chuks but he was promoted as something very special. And for a few years at U18, U21 and to some extent U23 level he was the main man outside of Fulham's Dembele. But the step up from youth football to the more competitive senior game. Seems a step too far for him. That's why always say don't be too optimistic about youth football.

blueto: I see wisdom in your post. Uche's style of play as a 9 is essential the same with Nacho's style of play, Ighalo's style and Tammy's style are almost the same too. So invite all four to camp, check which one of them is the best from each style using some friendly games and training sessions, choose the best from each style and from the remaining two decide who is best suited for the final spot in the team and we are good to go 2 Likes |

Joebie: It's a strange one really, I met one of the agents heavily involved at Norwich and they didn't rate him that much. They did say he was studying for his degree and in the end he was released at Norwich. Now he is playing for a very A typical English Manager at Ipswich where technical football is not on the main menu. I will because of you and my desire to see Dominic Iorfa see both of them live in the coming weeks. |

Joebie: Aluko is not that Old, 28 is not old and it's not just football age. If to say dem born am for Warri he would be only 22/23 No shakin. Arguably one of the most technically gifted players in the championship. Who did not play ball with NFF officials and a particular very hungry coach that's why he was shamelessly frozen out when he was playing for Hull in the EPL. Why do you think he has not been invited, who is actually proven, tested and better. |
