Nura Mohammed is the youngest player to feature for the Super Eagles- He turned 15 this month. He's had it rough though.
I wonder if anyone has any videos of him playing. I've never seen him play but I would like to.
The caption is misleading but it's an interesting article.

I want to understand something here, how come Messi didn't open the scoring here? Suarez's goal had NOTHING to do with Messi, it was great play from Busquets, Rakitic and Roberto, however here you want us all to believe that every other barca player is a bench-piece at best for other clubs. Messi's goal was a penalty which he didn't even get himself, it was Pique's header that got the spotkick but of course nobody else plays football in Barce except Leo Messi. The third goal would not have been a goal if Navas had better gloves and guess what? It was scored by Vidal but you want us to understand that these guys are useless. If you truly watched this match(and the last match against Derpotivo) you would see that Iniesta's class is still there and guess what? We dominated both games like we have never done all season without prime Iniesta. You said Busquets has slowed down? Maybe that's what you want to believe just so that you put him down and exhault Messi but bottomline is that 19 other teams would kiill their coaches just to get Busquets to play a season for them. I need not mention Ter Stegen who denied Ronaldo and Bale certain goals or maybe Umtiti who has been the best CB in the Spanish league this season or Alba or even to a lesser extent, Roberto. These guys have been doing very well, we can argue that Suarez has been off(he has been picking up lately) and Rakitic isn't the guy he once was, so we can say Messi is carrying our attack but saying that he is the only guy doing it all for the team is false, he is contributing his quota and then some which is a great thing but do you think he can do it alone without these guys I mentioned? Then go and check Tata Martino's season

TheGoodJoe:


You are blowing the Messi performance out of proportion. He had a good game but certainly was not overwhelming. Messi was still in the team when Real Madrid whipped Barca in the Super Cup. Celebrate the win but do not overblow it like Messi tore Real Madrid down. CR7's early miss was the problem, if not the outcome would have been different.

Congrats.

Is it the last 2 years they remember they are they descendants of Vikings?

Please tell me how many Chelsea players, under Mourinho, that completed a successful loan move. That's not Mourinho's style. Mourinho's style is to send a player on loan, forget him and keep buying the best players on the planet. Mourinho has no idea how to develop a player. Today we're celebrating VicMo, but I can tell you that he would still have been going out on loans if Mourinho is still in charge at Chelsea.

Bottom line, Omeruo was just unlucky to have Mourinho in charge at the time he hit his best form.

MetalJigsaw:
You're totally wrong sir. Messi is the general overseer of both the Catalans (Barça) and the Albeceleste (his national team) as a matter of fact. Ronaldo is good but the small-statured magician is a wizard in the beautiful game of soccer. He posseses all Ronaldo's abilities but the reverse is far from the case. mind you, a Real Madrid fan but I never see any reason to be sentimental and decieve myself.

I believe He's that small- statured soccer magician one Argentine man (perhaps a sorcerer) spoke about that would exist, a number of decades ago.

Mujtahida:

you fail to get the point. i might not have shown up for some years but when i do show you have to deal with the kind of mentality that i show up with. for example we have missed the last two afcons but opposing teams will have to deal with the kind of mentality that we show up with when eventually we qualify. God bless any team that should say ha, nigeria, they have missed the last two afcons, is it now that they remember that they are eagles? there's a certain naivety in your question though.

He is listed as a central midfielder or CMF for his club. Ujpest FC on transfermakt.com

You are being evasive and undoubtedly moving the goal post.

I was objectively clear with verifiable fact and asked you to simply say what makes Omeruo great I asked you to be objective and if need be use comparative analysis.

Playing for a very competitive world class star studded Chelsea is not always the end game but how far you can progress in your football career.

It is clear you do not understand the structure and delivery set up for youth players in English professional football clubs. The manager has limited input on loan moves and the club operates a more long term strategy for youth development. Managers who are short term in their delivery are not overly focused on emerging young players unless they are clearly outstanding in comparison to what they have.

List of players who developed at Chelsea when Mourinho was there and have kept developing, Nathan Ake, Traore, Musonda, Solanke, Lukaku, Tega, Aina, Jeremie Boga, Isaiah Brown, Kasey Palmer, Kurt Zouma (19 year old at the time who played 58 games for Chelsea over two seasons under Mourinho) to mention a few.

Omeruo went on loan to Middlesborough for a whole season who according to you he was having the best form of his life, but was far from outstanding in the Championship there wasn't a Que of clubs waiting to sign him. He has been a journey man footballer since now settling down in the mid range clubs of the Turkish division.

So I ask again, you have rated him higher than Gary Cahill, what makes him GREAT.

Please remain objective with verifiable statistics and comparisons.

Humility017:


I think you really need to revisit the bolded...rather him and his father have not been straightforward...
his father was hoping that his son will play for England....and as such use "my son will play for Nigeria when he clocks 23" excuse.....
only to get served...now His son wanna opt play for Nigeria....he should keep waiting the way him and his father kept us waiting....

I know...you will see this as prejudice and biased...but please I am not against any British players....
even right now....one player I crave for to see in the super eagles defense after the world cup is Tomori of Chelsea....
I like his commitment and zeal towards the super eagles....

but for this ilorfa he wanna play for us...reason His 3 lions dream is no more a reality.....

daveP:
There are some se players that must not scent injury 2months to the mundial. Is Ndidi part of them? We know who tops this list.

Icon79:
Of course, he is. He would be one of our key players in the Russia. You know, it's too easy to overlook Ndidi's contribution a game because he's not flashy like Mahrez but he's the engine room of any the team. Bottom line, if you're a purist like us, you'd need to watch Ndidi to see the whole game. Players of quality are rare ... right now, I can only think of: Casemiro (Real Madrid); Sergio Busquests (Barcelona); Paulihno (ManCity); Michael Carrick and Matic (Man Utd).

Hi guys! Learnt ndidi is having a great game against the red devils but shouldn't he be serving a one-match ban due to the redcard he got in his last match ?

But Nigeria are giants in Africa and have shown their ability previously.

Iceland have been perenial minnows.

Ndidi was to miss a match ban and the Man City EFL game against Leicester City was the game Ndidi served the ban.

He already served d one match ban in d midweek carabao cup game against man city.

It is very sad the way Omeruo's handlers handled him. I feel it is another case of agents/managers more interested in keeping a huge paying contract over finding a way to develop the player.

Omeruo was a bright revelation playing for Keshi at the AFCON. A young player standing tall in a field of Giants. The highlight of his performance in the AFCON we conquered was when he marked out Drogba and Drogba could not muster a shot on target.

And, I doubt Cahill could pull off the feat Omeruo did at the AFCON.

Sad he went downhill from there but his talent showed in the game against Zambia during the qualifiers. The game he made a mistake. Apart from the mistake, I saw a field Marshall.

I hope he finds his form to add to our pool of quality defenders.

Mujtahida:


Minnows or not they are on the world stage now and you have to deal with the mentality they show up with. I am sure England disdcalled them perenial minnows but when they came up against the cold determination of these No rsemen they knew better.

In contemporary football once a team gets to major tournaments its best one treats them with healthy respect.

Senegal were minnows in 2002. After 90 minutes France knew better. Croatia were not just minnows at France 98. They were unknown minnows(notwithstanding they were part of the former yugoslavia). They went up to the semis.So calling them perennial minnows takes nothinig from the fact that they are the descendants of the Vikings
And just before someone else takes a superficial reading of my post and concludes that I am hyping Iceland let me say I am not. I am only giving a clue as to the mentality with which they as our opponents will come into games. I trust we read how rohr looked at things even from a geographical view point.

For example with the Argentines lets be ready to deal with an opponent whose mentality accepts guile and deception as part of the game.

TheGoodJoe:


Fernandinho, not Paulinho.
