TheGoodJoe:
I hope the corruption and bribery screamers crew can see similarities in attributes from the ability to play specified positions between Chidiebere Nwakali and Ogenyi Onazi.

Finito.

kennysville:


I second that whole heartedly. He gets into shooting positions a lot but rather than shoot, he passes. I dont know whether its Wenger's instruction or what. Playing both Iwobi and Oezil yesterday clearly shows that if given a chance to express , Iwobi will permanently retire Oezil( that's sentiments apart). I still maintain that Oezil is the weak link. But we know wenger na. E no get Balls!!

forgiveness:


If you really followed the debate you should have known that tbaba1234 claimed Rohr was looking for a better DM because we don't have a DM who can play multiple roles and he challenge me to list any DM eligible for call. That was why I listed 4 players better than Chidiebere Nwakali in that role.

Later, thegoodjoe in his defence claimed Chidiebere Nwakali was scouted out because he has certain attributes the players I listed lacked but I disagreed by showing videos to dismantle one of his false claims that Raheem lawal can run with the ball. I could not get the video of Hope Akpan on net hence the need not to drag about him.

As you can see, na talk bring talk. So, stop chosen sides and judge well.

is Agu out?

Thought it was just

Moses x2
Ighalo
Onazi

Dedebanky85:
I'm not trying to start stuff, but truth be told I rate Obasi miles ahead of Simon. Have you watched him recently for AIK? Only problem he had was injuries. His touches oozes class, positional sense is very high, and he is very skillful. Moses Simon is just only skillful but not really intelligent. If Rohr says he wants to invite Obasi I wouldn't mind for one bit. It's just my opinion. Disclaimer - I have no stats to support things like lifetime dribbles, etc; it's just my korokoro eyes on what I watch on tv.

tbaba1234:


Musa ahead of Onyekuru? When last did musa pay football?

Kog45:
Thanks,no player was dropped for Nwakili but for Lawal to get invitation,which player does he want to replace in the team.

Watford striker 'quits booze' -Report




Watford striker Isaac Success has reportedly stopped drinking alcohol as he battles his way back to full fitness following surgery.




The Nigerian international, who underwent surgery to repair a knee injury ‎earlier in Barcelona recently, faces at least two months out.

Success has failed to live up to his lofty price-tag since his move from Granada, and a recent alleged run-in with four commercial sex workers at a Hertfordshire hotel saw him reminded of his obligations to the club by boss Marco Silva.

However, the player's intermediary has told a Nigerian website that Success will be a new man when he gets back to the Watford line-up.

”He (Success) has quit drinking even before the surgery, Success has queried himself and upon his return fans of Watford will see a brand new fit and hungry forward in him," his intermediary told Owngoalnigeria.com.

"Success will be like a new signing for Watford upon his return. He is heavily focused and working hard to prove those who have always believe in him. In the next one month when he returns you will see what am talking about."

Make una fear God nau.

From LM to RB!?

I thought tbaba1234 said he plays LB? Now it is RB.


The person wey help no sabi work.

Now, this is the chat of the roles played and the numbers of times he played in those roles. You know what, no record he ever played as a RB. Meaning he never played the RB role neither did he ever played the LB role. Hahahaha! Go for refund man.

Mujtahida:

Is Agu out? I read on Completesportsnigeria.com that he and Ekong are going to Rabat today.

Mujtahida:

Read his last paragraph and read this your post :there's no connection between suggesting that an official be designated to build rapport and engagement with players of Nigerian descent born in EUROPE and you talking about undecided people and playing for the QUEEN. Your post is - I'm sorry to say - too superficial, reeks of ignorance and insensitivity and totally beside the point.

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

MetalJigsaw:
please remove that Mike Agu from your list. That guy is a -1

komekn:


I have clearly recommended Sone Aluko, I talked about Iorfa, Onyedinma as players that can offer something to the SE.

I asked why there is zero talk concerning Fegor, I asked the question why is he forgotten. Not that I think he should be selected immediately.

Another post I made it clear I wanted to get the discussion going on the forgotten Fegor. That discussion started and there are indicattions he has not been up to scratch. Has he improved do we know Balogun wasn't great when he first started but has improved immensely.

When players are talked about we discuss attributes ability and suitability.

Thee are some i will say categorically true quality.

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.

It was said on OGN that Rohr picked Nwakali because of his ability in RB.
Truth is Nwakali actually played as RB in a couple games in the U17 World Cup.
Follow OGN's stories at your own peril.

Mujtahida:

The goodjoe this is the post I Seconded the last paragraph. Where did you see komekn mention a player being begged and the player refused in this post? Did he mention Tammy? Has Aluko not been capped already? Has Onyedinma been approached and he shunned us?
And more so it was the last paragraph that I endorsed.
Your reply confirms my earlier position. Either you didn't read the post or you misunderstood it or assumed albeit wrongly that since its komekn you already know what he'd say.

TheGoodJoe:


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.

Joebie:
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.

chrisooblog:
he deserves a fair chance if he's not quality we move on

TheGoodJoe:


Etebo's work rate makes that impossible.

MetalJigsaw:
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:
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!

terzurum5:

Raheem draws alot of attention from opposing players that results to fouls just like Etebo. However, Raheem's game is more polished than Etebo.

Etebo still de learn.
