Mickael2: Nantes is number 5 in the league after 9 games. Awaziem has played in most of these games. He has played in the center of defence several times. 2 Likes |

G TheGoodJoe: Mbappe came to Chelsea on trial at about age 11 but he didn't make the cut even played with Tega against Charlton Athletic. So will you say it was nationality that prevented him. I was at a premiership academy last night with the Director there were some guys doing thier badges coaching and had to observe the youth teams training. These were U10 players majority had been there since age 5. In that group was a Nigerian boy on trial who had just relocated from Italy to England with his parents. You know about drills, forms, philosophy and technical football. This boy didnt know the drills or the technical skills he was completely out of his depth. It's possible that after the 6 weeks trial he may improve and tune in and get a contract although highly unlikely. What I am saying at that young age your nationality is irrelevant. Consider that these boys are getting coached 4/5 times a week. That's the first stage or first major hurdle to get past. At the age of 4/5 years old. There are no age group teams so how do you get in. Simply by network or as we say who no man. So let's say you had very little natural talent but after being coached 3/4 times a week after a two years talent and ability have been created. That's an unfair system. I will talk about this in depth another time. But I can assure you that boys of Black and or African origin are being discriminated against all the time. But much more pronounced in the North of England than the south. So it's not easy for Solanke as you presume. 3 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: These are incredible assumption with multiple variables to make any kind of futuristic projection is entirely flawed. If Awoniyi had not been born in Nigeria and played U17 he would not have been known. If he was born in England he may have chosen, athletics, basketball, rugby, cycling, boxing, etc etc.and not football. If he chose football who says he would have made the cut. Let's say he was born in Dalston Hackney and decided to be a drug dealer, and gun totting gangster. Or in the alternative be a musician. Or study and become a Doctor, accountant or lawyer. You simply cannot make those kind of futuristic assumptions because you are born in England. Was it not that idiot Michael Adebanjo that in his misguided fanaticism beheaded a off duty soldier in broad day light in London. He was born in London if he was born in Nigeria that would never have happened. So you see using futuristic probables based on location of birth is simply not feasible. |

Joebie: The Scottish League is a one team league with Celtic winning everything and anything year in year out for the past donkey years. It's not a small feat for Hibernian to hold Celtic to a draw. Bt the way if not for work permit issues I can assure you 100% Efe Ambrose would be playing in the EPL. |

Humility017: Again you still do not want to learn. I do not care about your opinion as regards to Ambrose and Awaziem, it's your opinion and should be respected. Why I said you should keep quiet was because you wanted to reduce Hibernian to a low-level, relegation contender which is false, they are 6th and they held Celtic.. PSG beat Bayern by....4? That means Bayern isn't any better than the mid table teams in the Ligue1 I guess. 1 Like |

tbaba1234: Now see my point, Nantes has always been a midtable team even before Awaziem came into the team, he can even sit on the bench in some games. But Hibernian were in the Division2 without Ambrose, infact they won't turn up for any game if Ambrose is suspended. This is not me comparing Hibernian to Nantes, rather trying to point out that Ambrose being instrumental to their surge up the scottish table is a phenomenal achievement 1 Like |

Are we not tired of this unnecessary comparisons? I do agree that Abraham with no doubt at the moment is above Solanke and Oshimen. But as for Solanke and Oshimen,,,,, they are same yet to prove anything. Both of them are doing no extraordinary thing just to subbed in when match is already been lost or won.

Mickael2: Apart from Celtic, most teams in the scottish league will struggle in ligue 1. Ambrose played at a level lower than his ability and he shined. He might still be relevant to the national team due to his performances and experience but Awaziem right now is playing well at a better level. 4 Likes |

Nigeria Watches On As FIFA Considers Updating Change Of Nationality Rules October 21, 2017 World football governing body FIFA is currently mulling over some changes on the rule governing players eligibility for national teams, particularly the rule on switching from one nation to another. According to Victor Montagliani, who is the head of FIFA’s stakeholders committee, the present rule on eligibility for national team contains some restrictions, which are mainly aimed at frustrating players from playing for teams they have no connection with. He also said the present rule governing players who want to switch allegiance from one nation to another has provisions, which has stopped players from switching from one country to another with ease. The Canadian, who is also the president of the North, Central America and Caribbean Federation ( CONCACAF) particularly mentioned Africa, Asia and his own region as continents battling with the issue of nationality switch for eligible footballers. Nigeria have been very active in luring players with dual nationality to switch allegiance to the senior national team, and the proposed amendment of the rules could make things easier for them, but at the same time it could also tighten issues. “There are nationality issues that pop up all over the world, in Africa, there are issues in Asia and CONCACAF, so it’s a good time to have a look at this and see if there are solutions, without hurting the integrity of the game.” “There are so many issues that have popped up over the years because the world is changing, immigration is changing”, Montagliani concluded.

This is what Rohr has to learn from Conte. Change of tactics and formation in a course of a game. In addition, proper substitution and to identify players able to play multiple roles. When Conte realised his 3-4-3 formation was completely neutralized by Watford and was very vulnerable to Watford's constant attack/pressure, he changed the formation to 4-4-2. Immediately, the impact was felt and Watford puzzled. Before then, he yanked out Morata and brought on Batshuayi because the former struggled against the physicality of Watford defence. That takes guts to remove your most potent striker for the unwanted. Rohr should try out different formations during our friendlies and check how efficient some players who we assume play multiple roles. 5 Likes |
