my line up for game against algeria 1. Akpeyi 2. Ebuehi 3. Ekong 4. Balogun 5. Aina 6. Mikel Agu 7. Etebo 8. Mikel Obi 9. Onyekuru 10. Iwobi 11. Iheanacho subs: Ogu for mikel obi so iwobi will move into the AM position and etebo moves to the LW position. later musa for onyekuru. then final sub kayode for iwobi so kc will play behind the main striker. reasons for my starting XI 1. Akpeyi gets the nod so we can get another look at him to see if he has improved plus ezenwa hasn't been playing due to the end of the NPFL league so he might be match rusty 2. i want to see how good a DM agu is the algerians will surely test him besides ndidi deserves some rest 3. KC needs game and confidence so he gets the top 9 nod for me my thoughts on how the algeria game will likely pan out 1. i expect the algerians to seriously test our young fullbacks. will be interesting to see how disciplined and flexible they can be to cope with pressure. also like to see how much of a defensive shift iwobi and especially onyekuru put in. 2. raber madjer is an algerian and african football legend but i don't know much about his coaching ability plus its been a while he has coached at top level. i don't expect much tactically from him will probably just set his players up in the formation they are most comfortable with( which necessarily doesn't mean the best for them) and give them the ol' blood and guts inspirational speech. 3. as per the result mickeal2 said nigeria would probably lose. true it could happen but i doubt it because for the algerians to win it presupposes that they will shut out our attack. their defence is the worst in our group they have conceded an average of 2 goals per game. no amount of patriotic zeal or fervour will transform a fundamentally weak defence overnight. i see the game ending in a 1-1 or 2-2 draw 1 Like |

The real question is how is Lawal's current form. I can bring you videos of Nosa Igiebor while he was in the LaLiga. He was MOTM versus Barcelona, but let's see more recent videos. How recent are those videos of Lawal? Well let me investigate. Kog45: 1 Like |

Mujtahida: His post was about a player who he asked whether he wants to play for Nigeria. The player said he has not decided. The player’s reason was he has not been approached with Conviction. So the last paragraph is a suggestion in respect to the complaint of the player. It is funny you want to isolate the whole comment and dine with a paragraph to shout ignorance. He is talking of engaging with these players, so they can decide. Don't you know that is luring and making them change their mind? They can go to the Queen. 2 Likes |

@ Safarigirl , Mujtahida Rohr Receives Injury Boost Ahead Of Nigeria Matches Vs Algeria, Argentina Published: November 06, 2017 Rohr Receives Injury Boost Ahead Of Nigeria Matches Vs Algeria, Argentina Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has been given a much-needed injury boost ahead of the national team's matches against Algeria and Argentina, with midfielder John Ogu returning to action on Sunday night. Ogu had been struggling with his fitness since he picked up a quadriceps injury against Steaua Bucharest in the group stage of the Europa League on October 19, which led to his substitution on the half-hour mark. The former Académica Coimbra and União de Leiria man missed the next three matches played by the Israeli champions across all competitions, though he was on the bench against Steaua Bucharest in the return leg of the Europa League. John Ogu came through the game against Maccabi Petah Tikva unscathed, completing all ninety minutes, and is set to pack his bag and baggage for the trip to the Moroccan capital, along with his good friend and teammate Anthony Nwakaeme. Assistant captain Eddy Onazi is awaiting positive news from Trabzonspor medics after suffering a relapse to his injury on Saturday, while another midfielder, Porto loanee Mikel Agu, is struggling to overcome an injury and had to sub out after the first half against Kasımpaşa. Nigeria's last competitive game of 2017 comes up against Algeria at Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui, Constantine on Friday, November 10. Ifeanyi Emmanuel --ANS 2 Likes |

Joebie: The Owngoalnigeria article clearly stated that Chidiebere Nwakali will likely make his debut in an UNUSUAL POSITION. Meaning he does not play the position regularly. The analysis has more to do with attributes than regular play. When Fernandinho played the Right back role for Manchester City, it was unusual but it did not mean he lacked the ability. ” Nwakali will add options to the team in more area than just in the midfield. He can play as a right back and as a matter of fact that was the edge that earned him a call up to the Super Eagles”, a source close to the coach told Owngoalnigeria.com. |

Mujtahida: On the question if national allegiance, yesterday morning I was at U23 training and I spoke to Nigerian origin player who has played a few first team games. He told me he was undecided buy he also said had not been approached with real conviction from the NFF. I really do feel the NFF need to have some kind of official in the Europe as a full time job to keep engagement with players watch thier games and see thier progress. And keep engagement with them continous invited to Nigeria for various events etc to get them linked in to Naija. Read this and get the true picture. We do not need anyone engaging these players to play for us. To me, it is similar to begging. We want those who dream of playing for us. That last paragraph is an expansion of the approach will real conviction. Finito. |

The last time Nwakali played at RB competitively was in 2013. They are just assuming.. all that yeye "a close source" talk. We have Ebuehi as cover for Shehu. Omeruo who has also played as RB has been recalled. Granted, Nwakali plays other positions, but that RB talk is nonsense. Mofidified "that was the edge that gave him a call up" -- total rubbish. Edge from his performance at the U17 world cup in 2013? Laughable! TheGoodJoe: |

These are last season's videos cos that was Kayserispor. He's back at Osmalimspor. Truth is the Africans (Senegalese) that played Lawal's positions in hisnorevious clubs all moved on to bigger clubs. (1) Alfred Ndiaye went from Eskisihespor to Betis (2) Badou Ndiaye has gone from Osmalimspor to Galatasary. Why couldn't Lawal make a move to a better league? I personally have never fancied Lawals game cos he looks too heavy for a MF. Same reason I have never fancied Esiti's game. Joebie: 1 Like |

chrisooblog:How many more" fair chance does he need to prove himself after all his poor displays whenever he comes in for Mikel Obi in about three occasions. I see no single ability that guy posesses and yet he plays while a while John Ogu is on the bench. Do you really think he's better than Ogu? What abilities does that Mike Agu have mire than Ogu that perhaps I haven't noticed yet despite the fact that I've watched him play on three occasions for the SE? enlighten me pls. |

Joebie: Can C. Nwakali play as a right back, yes he can. We can keep that aside. I do not think that news came from a source in the technical crew. I think it was an analyst. (owngoalnigeria people, do not vex, this is my personal observation) However, the person made some nice observations which was not in my view. I think Nwakali is in the team to screen as a cover for Onazi. For a long time, I noticed similarities in play and Onazi has become a big part of Rohr's set-up. I also feel C. Nwakali's ability to play as a right back also helped him get a nod but I do not think it is as a cover for Shehu Abdulahi. The quote did not say that. That was an owngoalnigeria writer trying to expantiate on the comment. The quote stated more options in other areas than the midfield. This means he can support in filling gaps in different roles. Finally, I think Rohr wants to experiment giving Shehu Abdulahi more license to go forward and he needs a defensive midfielder who can slot into the space when Shehu goes forward. Remember Rohr tried Ndidi as a right back and it did not work out too well. Meaning Ndidi might not provide adequate cover if he slots into the right role to cover. Apart from Onazi who can play well as a right back, Chidiebere Nwakali provides an adequate option. Let us see how it goes in camp. 1 Like |

terzurum5: I remember during the Tottenham VS Real Madrid Champions League game, some guys bickered that Madrid will bounce back in the second half and turn the game around from being down one nil to a win. I shook my head and told them that it was not going to happen. I said they are watching Madrid from the talents on ground and forgetting football is changing from talent to work rate and hard work. Lo and behold, Tottenham put in two extra goals. Hard work beat talent again. Raheem Lawal is a baller. A true one. Gracious on the ball and delightful to watch. Unfortunately, grace does not carry the day as much as work rate. Etebo is not as gracious on the ball as Lawal but he packs two oxygen tanks on his back. His work rate is phenomenal and suits the modern approach. I do not see Rohr dropping such work rate to add more grace to the midfield. |

Owngoalnigeria is a fantastic site. Very analytical and sometimes good in their forecast. Their only challenge is that they try to post their analysis as facts. They should stick to tagging lots of their work as analytical opinions and forecasts. Stop using anonymous source when it is a well analysed point. If they stick to that, they will be a powerful source of information. |
