Loogan: Actually it is the quicker wingback who is tasked with joining the attack. For example you have Alba who is faster than Roberto, Roberto attacks timidly but Alba has the freedom. You also have Marcelo and Carvajal, Marcelo has more pace and is allowed to attack more. I used Madrid and Barca because both teams run a 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 formation when on the ball. |

Golden Eaglets To Hold Domestic & Foreign Training Camp, Screening Starts March 4 Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the newly appointed coach of Nigeria's U17 National Team Manu Garba has submitted his program to the Nigeria Football Federation ahead of the 2019 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations qualifiers. If the training schedule is approved by the Nigerian Federation, Manu Garba will begin monitoring the Golden Eaglets invitees on Sunday, March 4. The former Gombe United helmsman has already drawn up a list of invitees, the bulk of invited players are the youngsters that he has scouted in the last few months and the Nigeria schoolboys (U15s) that traveled to Morocco for friendlies last August. This means there will be no 'controversial open screening sessions' for now as Garba wants to form a standing team first before inviting new players in future. Just like it is done in some French speaking African countries, Manu Garba and his lieutenants will hold a get-together in Europe for foreign-based players of Nigerian descent and the outstanding players will be drafted into the team. Meanwhile, the Flying Eagles will face either Sierra Leone or Guinea-Bissau in the second round of the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualifiers. The first leg will be played on 11-13 May, while the second leg will take place 18-20 May 2018. Ifeanyi Emmanuel source: ANS 3 Likes |

Again, I will agree. But saying it and proving it are two different things. As midfielder, Joel Obi is not in the mold of Yaya Toure or Michael Essien, in their primes. He tends to keep his game simple. Hence, I can understand if Rohr decides to overlook him because he'd feel that he isn't losing anything by not inviting him. It's similar to the same problem Obi Mikel had at Chelsea. It takes a technically astute coach, like Guus Hiddink, to really figure out the difference such players make in a team. O pari komekn: |

I grant you that, but it beats me why his detractors tend to pick on that particular mistake without also mentioning that he did save our brushes in that game, including saving a point blank shot from Abubokar. Let's just keep it fair and balanced, folks! Having said that, Ezenwa lost my vote by his performance in the return leg game against Algeria. He was piss poor in that game. O pari MetalJigsaw: |

And I will agree with the highlighted as well. The problem with an average Nigerian player is that they often refuse to leave football when the ovation is loudest. But you can't cheat old age ... if you refuse to leave football when time calls, football would eventually leave you. Kanu Nwankwo fell into the same mistake as well. And by the way, somebody informed me a few days ago that YAK is still playing pro football somewhere ![]() O pari Kog45: 1 Like |

Bolton Wanderers Trialist Chinedu Obasi Omitted From Squad To Face Crewe ![]() Chinedu Obasi has been omitted from the Bolton Wanderers squad for their Professional Development League match against Crewe Alexandra on Monday afternoon, contrary to speculations that the striker was set to play his second trial game. A copy of the teamsheet sighted by allnigeriasoccer.com confirms that Obasi is not in the 18, while Crewe's young Nigerian defender Rio Adebisi is on the bench. The Nigeria international came off the bench to net the winner for Bolton Wanderers as they claimed a 1-0 win over Burnley last Wednesday. The winter transfer market closed for business on January 31 but Obasi can still join a new club in the United Kingdom as he was a free agent at the end of last month. As previously reported by this website, the attacker is in the possession of a German passport and will therefore escape the strict work permit requirements to play in England. Obasi previously wore the jerseys of Lyn Oslo, Schalke 04, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, Shenzhen and AIK. He trained with Sunderland in October 2015 . **Igho Kingsley Source: http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=26743 Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 108 days to go |

Victor Moses Becoming One Of Chelsea's Top Tacklers, Passing Accuracy Is Another Matter ![]() For the second straight game, Victor Moses was ranked as one of Chelsea's top tacklers in their 2-1 loss to Manchester United in the English Premier League on Sunday, February 25. Against Barcelona, the Nigeria international was Chelsea's top man in tackling with five successful tackles, two more than the next player Cesc Fàbregas, and he proved his performance against the Spanish side was no fluke by winning the second most tackles at Old Trafford. Moses completed three tackles to place second behind defensive midfielder N'Golo Kanté, who had four. The right wing-back is far behind the Premier League's finest in tackling Wilfred Ndidi, the number 15 has racked up 27 tackles in 20 matches, the sixth best Chelsea player out of the 21 players handed game time in the top-flight by manager Antonio Conte. Prior to Moses's conversion to a right wing-back, he finished the 2015-16 campaign with 13 tackles while wearing the jersey of West Ham. However, the 27-year-old has to improve his passing, he had a passing accuracy of 64.5 percent against Manchester United, the worst completion rate of the 27 players that were in action at Old Trafford. Excluding the two goalkeepers, the Nigeria Player of the Year was the worst passer in the Champions League meeting between Chelsea and Barcelona last week, having completed only 52.4 percent of his passes. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Photo Credit : chelseafc.com.

Pls check out Sunday Rotimi,do we say Akpeyi,Ezenwa and Ajiboye are better than him?NO but if Rohr call him,the first question that would be on people's lips is age forgetting that he is a solid keeper with experience of NPFL and European football.
