Kog45: It Is not really easy like that... Remember he is a new coach.. Winning the heart of the owner and the fans matter most and also he will like to have a spirit fillled dressing room... If he can't control dressing room that's all.. Uzoho Wil be back to the bench I believe... Let just watch out.. And he should keep working hard 1 Like |

I remember how some guys on here tried to make us believe the NNL was perfect and NPFL evil. Well here u have it from Papilo Kanu blasts cash wins games in NNL, alleges govt clubs bully private clubs By admin - November 5, 2017 Nwankwo Kanu has raised serious concerns over the officiating in the second-tier Nigeria National League (NNL), alleging that clubs owned by government have the cash to get more favourable refereeing than a team like Papilo FC, who he bankrolls . He told SCORENigeria that privately owned clubs like his are being muscled out by the financially heavyweight government clubs, saying that development is not good for the league and football generally in Nigeria. “It has been a very difficult journey in terms of results as regards officiating,” former Nigeria captain Kanu said. “What I see in this league is that if you have enough money, then you can win games. “And if it so, there is no need for us trying to invest and bringing up a team. “This is because if you bring up a good team, here I’m talking about going to the grassroot to help the young ones to come up and perform. “And if these young ones are not being encouraged by officiating, then it means we are going back to square one. “Because for me, it is always good to play on an open environment where officiating will not favour or negatively affect any club. “And this is not good for football and the league. That is the greatest problem that we do have”. Kanu also informed SCORENigeria that his former club Arsenal are not involved in the running of his pet team, Papilo FC. The former Gunner and ex Super Eagles captain said contrary speculations, he has no assistance from the North London club. “Papilo FC are not into any deal with Arsenal,” he told SCORENigeria “We don’t wear Arsenal jersey. When you talk of Arsenal, you talk of Kanu because I played for Arsenal and I’m also an Arsenal Legend. “I’ve also been following Arsenal. “But in terms of we having anything to do with Arsenal in terms of sponsorship or kitting endorsement, no, there is nothing like that. “If we do, I won’t be here complaining. Perhaps, that could be on the way in future, you never can tell, but for now, they are not involved even in our academy or the football club. “I’m the one running the club and the academy”.

Despite big cash with MKO Abiola,Emmanuel Iwuanyawu and good management from John Mastroudus,the trio were frustrated by government clubs. |

Kog45: Yes they might be... But you know he will like to test those on ground.. As for dressing room issues... That's my personally opinion.. You know sometimes players won't play for a coach especially coach that dropped a senior goalkeeper for a reserved one... And how influencial is the current goalkeeper in the team?... That's bring about my submission about the dressing issues... |

Samueldodo781: Ndidi nearly made the worst Premier league 11 of the season by football365. He's the most dribbled past midfielder in the Premiership. CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace) What Ndidi has going for him is his high tackle success rate. Even at Genk, he had one of the highest tackle success rate in the Europa league. He's generally developing an odd reputation as a tackling machine. 1 Like |

DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA COACH – WHY EAGLES NEWBIE UZOHO WAS DEMOTED TO B TEAM Coach of Spanish La-Liga side Deportivo La Coruna has explained the reason why newly invited Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho was demoted to the B team of the La- Liga outfit. Uzoho kept goal in back to back La-Liga game under sacked coach Pepe Mel but since the appointment of Cristobal Parralo in caretaker capacity Uzoho has failed to make the matchday squad. Parralo has settled for the experienced duo of Przemyslaw Tyton and Costel Pantilimon, while the Nigerian has been demoted back to the B team who are campaigning in the third division in Spain. ” The team is in a difficult situation right now, and the coach feels it’s not the RIGHT TIME TO THROW IN AN 18 YEAR old AT THE DEEP END”, Spanish journalist Jonas told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” He was asked about the demotion of Uzoho, I think in one of his pre match conference shortly after Uzoho was called up to the senior national team of Nigeria and his explanation was same like I said EARLIER. ” AT 18 HE HAS DONE WELL TO PROGRESS TO THE FIRST TEAM AFTER JUST SIX MONTHS MONTHS AT THE CLUB , NICE FOOTWORK AND GOOD REFLEXES BUT LANGUAGE IS A BIG BARRIER FOR HIM , because his Spanish isn’t UP THERE YET, and as you know COMMUNICATION IS KEY BETWEEN GOALKEEPER and DEFENDERS". 3 Likes |

tbaba1234: He relies on his tall legs to bail him out of tackles. If he was a foot shorter, he would have been sent off more than a couple of times. As for getting a look in from big clubs, he could well get a look in but he will be deployed at CB not DM. Top clubs like DMs with good ball distribution and this has been Ndidi's weakest arsenal. His passing has a lot to be desired. I think he could develop into a fine CB ala Vincent Kompany (who played as a DM during his days at Hamburg). 1 Like |

Mickael2, like most football analysts, I think you're underestimating the level of Nigerian players due to the football clubs they play or do not play for. A few years ago I published an article in a Naija daily regarding a peculiar Nigerian perspectives in football. Take this for instance, when the Nigerian U-23 team lined up at the China Olympics soccer event final, the profile of the players could not have been more different from their Argentine counterparts: At CD Argentina had Ezekiel Garay of Real Madrid, Nigeria had Dele Adeleye from the bench of dutch basement club Sparta Rotterdam. Just over a year ago, he was at Shooting Stars, oscillating between Division 1 and 2. At LB, with the responsibility of marking the dreaded Leo Messi; yes Lionel Messi of Barcelona, was Chibuzor Okonkwo from Bayelsa United, a right footed player converted to LB. In CM, where Argentina had Riquelme, Gago and Mascherano, arguably the best DM in the world at that time, Nigeria presented Ebenezer Ajilore of Mydjtilland and from the bench at Sparta, Sanni Kaita. A few years ago, Ajilore plied his trade at Ebiede Babes, a Lagos youth club. But as the game unfolded, the confidence of the Nigerian players and the cautious approach their opponents showed, belied the reputation and CV of Argentina's players. This effectively proved two things, if you can believe it: (i) that the club status of the Nigerian players does not accurately reflect their real quality; and that (ii) a new measure is urgently required to determine the quality of our players; one that is not entirely dependent on the judgement of European club managers whose philosophy of the game and needs, vis a vis their clubs, may not necessarily be in alignment with the development of the average Nigerian player, or the SE.

tbaba1234:The job of a DM goes beyond tackling. Couqelin is just a replica of Ndidi. Same style, poor passing and high energy level. He used to lead the Epl in tackles but he can't even get a game these days. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 1:20pm On Nov 05, 2017 |
goldfish80: About long legs, you play with your attributes. That's football. I can tell you that a team like Arsenal will do well with a DM that can tackle. Xhaka can pass (on his day) but his tackling is atrocious. Kante does not have the greatest distribution either. Ndidi passing is average. It is not terrible. If he learns to keep it simple, he will play for a bigger team, soon. 1 Like |
