You mean Leicester wasn't relegation threatened as at the time I made that post?

Whether picked up or not, is/was Iheanacho bench warmer or not? Answer....Yes or No.


As at the time of that post, Tammy Abraham and Dominic Solanke were in a better position.

Currently, is Iheanacho's form better than Abraham?

Solanke is still making the bench for Liverpool. I think you know what that means?

seriously?

Hertha BSC, Germany Coaches Tell Torunarigha : You Have A Future With Germany Not Nigeria





The German Football Association are prepared to do battle with their Nigerian counterparts over the services of highly-rated Hertha Berlin central defender Jordan Torunarigha.

Germany U21s manager Stefan Kuntz and Hertha Berlin coach Pal Dardai hope he refuses the offer from the Nigerian Federation to represent the Super Eagles at the 2018 World Cup, and added that he has a future with Germany's senior national team.

''Jordan is a top player, who absolutely convinced me. He has a great left foot and his development is far from over. I did not nominate him for nothing again,'' said Kuntz, who invited Torunarigha for the upcoming games against Israel and Kosovo, to German newspaper B.Z .

Pal Dardai is on the same page as Kuntz, and said : ''The World Cup is certainly a great opportunity for him.

''But maybe it is better for the development, if he goes through the U21 at the DFB. Maybe then it works with the German national team.''

Jordan's father Ojokojo Torunarigha played twelve matches for Nigeria's national team.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 89 days 4 hours to go

I pray this guy agrees to play for Nigeria. He is top notch. The Germans may want to cap-tie him but I pray NFF will be smart and discrete over this issue. Pls someone should tell PINNICK not to turn this issue to a global PICNIC.

ChrisKels:

Good. Have u said Hi to sir elyte89 today?

Who the hell is that

eterisan:
the world cup will be his last outing in the gwg I feel.... If I where Rohr... Ebuehi will be the one to miss out... Idowu's Russian connect will come in handy and ainá can cover right back for shehu.... Difficult decision.... But I am not Rohr.... So we wait and see..

Ebuehi miss out!? No No No.

Ebuehi is a more experienced player than Aina. I expect him to go to the world Cup.

However, let us wait until after the friendlies.

Brazil's 18 y/o GK Chijioke Phillip Ejimadu (Nacional of Sao Paulo) has been called up by USA under 20 team for a friendly. He has Nigerian, Brazilian and USA citizenship

CC: Chriskels, Icon4s

I remember we had discussion on possibility of getting FBs for our youth team especially U20 and i was of opinion that it will be a huge task for NFF to succeed cos of it's antecedent when it cones to solid program for football development.

If not of recent or let me say the euphoria of WC qualification that made it compulsory for us to engage in friendlies,i don't think NFF is damn serious when it comes to well organized friendlies.

Now we are talking about invitation of our young lads based outside Nigeria and the only way is to organise friendlies but we all know that NFF always find it difficult to organize ordinary friendly match for Super eagles when it matter most.Pls can the same NFF arrange friendlies for U 20 which is capital NO then how do we get these guys

I remember icon4s made a solid suggestions regard U 20 and I told him to channel it to NFF straight cos we have bunch of unserious officers,remember Shehu Abdullahi yellow card that almost cost us WC ticket.

I will not deceive you getting these guys for U 20 is not that easy,i remember i was talking about logistics like flight tickets and other issues cos we have NFF that preferred to waste money on unnecessary things.

What about the coaches,are they ready to give these FBs the opportunities,remember how Sammy Ameobi came to U 20 camp and was dropped but the same season made Newcastle first team.

Apart from young Nigerian Brazilian keeper,we have many out there willing to play but are we ready to absorb them.into the system.

Really surprised that USA can beat us to the guy meaning they are more serious and their technical committee members are doing well in monitoring players who are eligible to play for US.

Sir till today is NFF saying anything regards Deji who wrote personal letter that he want to play for Nigeria but very soon the guy would be another Alaba.

Pls look at Otigba case and wondering how some people want to play down the negatives effect of player who rejected Euro tournament just to play for Nigeria but waited with no call.

Not necessarily we should call all FB but the special ones deserves our attention or else we keep on losing players to other countries and the only way is integrate them through youth system.

Wow
this is the best I have seen so far
Except who be this Gabriel okechujwu
And what of onazi?

Omeruo has been quite good this season but his last game reminded us about the other side of Omeruo. He was at fault for all 3 goals in my opinion.

Rohr appears to be focused on getting at least one of the german CBs to join the team. I won't be surprised if we have one for the final camp.

Unfortunately, Omeruo will most likely be the one to be dropped. Rohr has already dropped Omeruo in a few recent invitations.

....meaning Etebo is injured or what do you think

I greet everyone here. Been busy for a while now so my participation has been restricted to short cameos as a guest.

I want to state explicitly that I'm all for form and not experience. I'm not Rohr apparently but on Echiejile's invitation, I reckon the friendlies will serve as the last chance for him to stake a claim. If he flops, then he should kiss Russia goodbye. It sounds absurd taking to the world cup a player plying his thread in a belgium second divison and still finding it hard to make the team on matchdays and leaving out top talents in other top divisions. It's corruption and not destabilizing team cohesion as some would say.

I think it is a precautionary measure. Probably not to risk a relapse.

If toyin ibitoye says he'll be fine, I think he'll be fine.

Is that not what NFF is trying to do?

Sir, we don't have better substitutes for our defence. He is a good option for back up or starting eleven.

Spot on bruv

If I had a chance to meet rohr before the world Cup I will plead with him to ensure echiejile doesn't near Russia as one of our players

Echiejile SE career is as good as gone.. He doesn't offer anything not even experience; everything about him is below par and he is quite lazy this days.

Make Echiejile no come block space for us o

Man City Loanee Ambrose Confesses – Presence Of Nigerian Striker Sadiq Umar Has Made Me A Better Player


On loan Manchester City forward Thierry Ambrose has praised the presence of Nigerian forward Sadiq Umar as the reason why he is experiencing an upturn of form for Dutch side NAC Breda.

Sadiq joined the Dutch side on loan till the end of the season from Italian side Roma after terminating his loan deal with Torino, where he spent the first half of the season on loan but injuries and fitness issues reduced him to few games.

Ambrose who is on a season long loan deal from Man City joined Breda in the summer, but his form has improved tremendously following the signing of the Nigerian, who is now his strike partner at the modest Dutch side, and their partnership has helped the team picked up three straight wins in the league.

Jololo as the Nigerian is called by friends and teammates, has provided two assists to the Man City loanee, and he also won a penalty which the forward conceded in their last weekend 2-0 win over ADO Den Haag in the Eredivisie.

” The presence of Sadiq has helped me a lot. I feel good and have more confidence. He brings what I could not bring. He holds the ball and makes good running actions. With Sadiq I no longer feel alone in the attack, so I can focus on the second ball instead of standing and feeling alone in the box “, the soon to be 21 year old revealed in an interview published on Bndestem.nl.

” With Sadiq the pressure of scoring is shared between us and for me that’s better. Left, right or in the centre, that makes no difference to me”.

A good line up.

I only have issues with your substitutions:

1. They are 100% like for like. This is hardly the case.What if one of those players you want to remove for a like is having an excellent game?
2. Putting the exact time of substitution. You never can predetermine that bro.

The dynamics of the game and the result at that point in time will tell you who and when to substitute.
You may also need to switch formation which may not require a like for like substitution.

please post leicester city table position during that period

The fact of the matter is dominic and abraham are lagging behind now

I don't care what its means for dominic to be on the liverpool bench after all he was on the chelsea match as well

It would not be fair if he's dropped for those guys for no consideration other than that they are German born as in they should slug it out. Who says Omeruo can't best them. This almost automatic slot thing ain't it abeg

eterisan:
ah baba..... Team chemistry is very important o.... Ask pep why he refused to buy sanchez... And see what sanchez has done to pogba's head.... And united's form..... Just my own sentiment sha..... But I just feel he deserves a place on the plane... Even if as second choice left back or left wing back.... One of idowu, ainá and ebuehi will have to drop

I got your point on Echiejele but my question do we really missed Echiejele at 2014 WC when Oshaniwa stepped in for him.

Truly very experience but his club situation is pathetic cos not able to cut in Turkish league with a very lowly club and moved to Belgium 2nd division and not regular, meaning his experience is no longer valuable.On a good day he should be a rally point at 2nd division being an international player with WC experience.

Experience is more valuable when a player impact is always felt check out Mikel,Vic Moses and Onazi in GWG in recent time,they are valuable to the team.

I think Echiejele only have one option to make the team and is to prove himself in camp,anything less than this he is out and bookmark me he will not be missed just like at 2014 WC.

forgiveness:


I hope he plays for us and to do that we have to lure him with a slot for the world cup.

What sort of thinking is this? Lure him with a slot for the WC? Is that it? I like a good team full of young talented players but the moment you create slots, automatic slots you have destroyed the team. If you are told that Iheanacho has an automatic slot you'd bristle and whine but here you are advocating automatic slot for Torunarigha. Mind you I want him and Uduokhai but it should not be automatic. Let them come and passionately hustle for a place in the team.

Kog45:
Sir lure him with a slot for WC?

Soro niyen? Na talk be that? I swear some of us are infected with an obsession for anything foreign. Truth is I have often canvassed for the inclusion of foreign born players but to just open wide our legs and say a player like the German born guys should have automatic slots(yes it's automatic if it's given to them without them giving performances to merit it) is shocking to me.

If Gabriel Okechukwu or Ajayi are given an automatic slots we would condemn it to high heavens but for Torunarigha it's automatic. Is that how to build a team?

Did Mikel, Moses, Onazi, Ndidi or all those we are sure are going to Russia get automatic slots? Didn't they merit their places as first teamers through consistent top level performance? Or on the bench because of their showings?

Foreign, home, naija born, London born or German the benchmark is performance. Nothing less

So nah dis Tammy wey dey chop open net we for carry go Russia. Mehn we really dodged a copper bullet there oo
