I disagree. The ten cut my eyes immediately as Onyekuru. That guy at the back roll will never catch my eyes as Onyekuru.

somehow:
You will win if you are better.

Unfortunately, most aren't better than their host and the mentality of already losing before arriving at the venue is another problem + the insecurity concerning the officials in some venues.

Loogan:

Dude sorry to disappoint you but I don't think you really understand football. This same Moses gave morata an assist with a wonderful cross against newscastle, your complaining he dosent go forward a lot, it's seems you fail to notice Chelsea defenders overlap to the wings and push up further, when they are caught on the counter Azpi, kante and Moses are tasked with recovering the ball because of thier pace, Moses is the faster, stronger and more defensive of the wing backs, it's only logical for the slower wing back to push a lot of the attacks because he push further with knowledge he is being protected! Haven't you ever wondered why Moses who is a natural attacker converted to a wing back is always sitting deeper than a trained left back.
To you he had a bad game because he didn't do enough in the final third, I was frustrated to but that dosent rule his overall game as BAD, if you know the role of a wing back you will know Moses did his job very well, his coach values him, he must be doing something right and I'm damn sure Conte is a better coach than you.
It's guys like you that appreciate hazard for all the dribbling and flair but desist guys like matic who has an unflashy style of play, bro that's not how coaches think.

Mujtahida:

Dem no dey do. Agreed. Why? Is there a reason whether scientific or legal as in FIFA policy?I really don't know and would like to be enlightened.

I don't know if the MRI scans are accurate or not but I do know that they have significantly helped us from taking Chrisantuses to the u17

I am only talking about what is possible given the kind of society we live in but from your first response to this second one you have interpreted what I posit as possibilities to be fact.

Granted I don't know even any of those players but I know Nigerians and what we have been doing and what we do and can do.

I don't discuss players ages. I only strayed today. I cannot debate where for instance somebody says Nigeria is corrupt. It's not perception. I might not have evidence but many, the overwhelming majority of our players are age cheats cos if they are not we won't always gripe about players ages.

From what I can see comparing thier pedigree past, present and as well as consistency. Joel leaves them eating dust, Joel Haa continously played in Seria A apart from Injury has been very consistent.

None of Agu or Ogu players have reached the heights Joel has reached. They are all playing in the backwaters of Europe Turkey and Isreal. Furthermore, they are not the most outstanding players in thier respective leagues.

Joel for me first choice it's a no contest but this is the NFF and nothing will suprise me.

Guess who is working with Uzoho in Spain to get him to WC level... Super eagles goalkeeping coach, Enrico Pionetti

Oasis007:




.......... but before Oliseh signed for Juventus he was a Regular at Ajax where he won the Eredivisie and KNVB Cup Twice. He spent just two Seasons with Ajax, won 3 Titles and had 54 Caps, 8 Goals as a DM - fantastic Stats I say. Let me also remind you he was a Regular at FC Cologne - 54 Caps, 4 Goals as a DM. Guess you know he joined Ajax after his outstanding and consistent Performance with FC Cologne in two Seasons consecutively?!

Did he flop at Juventus? No..... rather he had already established Players in the Team like Zinedine Zidane, Antonio Conte, Simone Perotta, Edgar David, Enzo Maresca to contend - for a Spot in the starting XI, I guess you and I know his Competitions ain't Rookies or average Players. He spent just a Season and leave for Dortmund because he didn't get enough Chances to prove himself not FLOP!

He played 22 Times in his first Season (2000 - 2001) at Dortmund, bar Injury and Suspension he was a guaranteed Starter - that wasn't FLOP. In 2001/2002 Season that Dortmund won the Bundesliga and a Runner up in UEFA Cup, he had 18 Caps while fiercely competing with an emerging Talent - Tomas Rosicky.

He lost his starting Berth to Tomas Rosicky in 2002/03, thus he sought for a Loan to Bochum in January of 2002/03 Season where he played 12 Times (Regular for the Team). He was still with Club for the following Season, 2003 - 2004 with a regular Spot in the starting XI and played 22 Times.

He returned to Dortmund, had 11 Caps before he was sacked in March 2004 for head butting teammate Vahid Hashemian while on loan at VfL Bochum allegedly over racial remarks. He wasn't released by the Club because he FLOPPED but for a disciplinary Reason.

In a nutshell, Oliseh Stats ain't average but controversial. The present Eagles are on the right Track, but they ain't on par or better than Eagles of 90s. We do not need to argue this, coz it's basically my personal Submission based on Stats and Figures.

MetalJigsaw:
True talk. Ezenwa really messed up in that game

Kog45:
My point is simple and i based it on being a flop at Juventus and Dortmund but am seeing you trying to tell me he wasn't a flop at Juve and Dortmund which i disagreed.

I followed Oliseh's career to the letter even before he made his debut against Ethopia and ended Friday Ekpo,s career with national team.

Sir am not saying Oliseh was not solid as a player,he was exceptional talented player from Leige to Regianna and Ajax but what do we called a player that find it difficult to break into a team and had 8 appearance mostly as substitute and released after a season?it's called FLOP.

At Dortmund,i think have analysed it in a very simple way,53 appearance in five season should tell you something and even loan to Bochum for playing time,what do you call such player?FLOP.

Sunday Oliseh had a good and solid career from 92 to 2000 but from 2000,it wasn't the same Oliseh again,so calling him a FLOP at Juventus and Dortmund does not belittle him as a good player.

Wow. This Gernot Rohr is amazing. The most visionary and most committed foreign coach we've had in Nigeria since the Dutchgerian, Clemence Westerhof. He deserves a lifetime contract!

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.

Good cos even those who passed MRI.......Mujtahida no need to go into age issues as oga kokmne always saying let's respect their ages just to protect Nigeria's image even if it was falsified.

Humility017:

that's not a reason to shed the recent released under 20 list by the grade team coaches...

how possible is it for a player who has featured over 2 years in the league to still be 18 years of age?

sometimes we should always tell ourselves the truth....

Humility017:

what if I know more than 90%....?

Mujtahida:

If you notice you'd discover that I don't discuss player's ages. Yesterday was kinda my first time. One cannot discuss the issue because it's murky and our information is all hearsay. None of us can actually prove that a particular player is overaged, so its better to do siddon look.

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.

KPOM!

Oasis007, I will make you a prominent member of my fan club once we can get you off of Daniel Akpeyi's bandwagon. Bros, Daniel Akpeyi is NOT a good goalkeeper. Short and simple! He's a horrible keeper who's a nervous wreck in goal and flaps his crosses at elementary school level.

Again, I stand ready to welcome you into my crew once we can see eye to eye on the above F-A-C-T-S.

Are you saying you don't know there are a lot of 15 -17 years olds currently playing in the NPFL?

Two notable clubs: MFM and Kano Pillars.

I am also sure you know the 15 years old Nur of Elkanemi.

2 years from now, will those boys still not qualify for to play the U20?

TheGoodJoe:


Why tag the open screening sessions that has been successful in unearthing rare gems for the country controversial? Also, I hope Manu Garba still carries out open sessions later. I believe in that system.
