realpoacher:it's ok bro I share most of your sentiments about uzoho's performance yesterday but the truth is that he is far from being the finished article Definitely he is going to the world cup but ordinarily should have been the third choice unfortunately our goalkeeping crisis has thrust him into the firing line From what I saw of him he's jittery with crosses and not too accurate with his punch outs but admittedly he improved as the game progressed However what francis has going for him is that I'm not sure the other goalkeepers we have would have done better So whoever rohr decides to use will be a risk 9 Likes |

Martz101:It was obvious that without Mikel we find it hard to link midfield with attacks and only way is to find solution either with our formations or searching for one. I remember Westerhoff made a lasting solution to his team with just a month to WC with Chidi Nwanu and Mike Emenalo inclusion and i think Rohr can do the same unless he is satisfied with the team performance without Mikel. Now in the team we have Ndidi,Onazi,Joel,and Agbo who am still suspecting his always inclusion without kicking ball even in friendlies,calling Mikel Agu as a replacement for Mikel leave a question ? My major question is Sone Aluko not good enough to slug it out even the young prodigy Kelechi Nwakili can be called up and let see what he can do. Just too obvious we need good AM. |

Daejoyoung: can you be honest to tell me where sokari and igiebor play there club football without using Google? Rohr is a professional, he dont call you because you can play a possition before, are you still turning out good performance in that position. I used the Wikipedia now and I notice Nosa igiebor has just 2 appearance since 2017, 1 for Vancouver white cap in Canada and 1 for famagusta in Cyprus and Kingsley sokari solar is not even a starter in esperance of Tunisia 1 Like |

shogz89: This is getting comical so what was he doing at Wigan to get Chelsea's attention? All I have seen Henry do for Nigeria is a shot that was cleared off the line but on the other hand I witnessed Moses against Algeria live and there is no better dribbler in Africa if u ask me. Don't let his performance as of late for Chelsea fool you. |

Taiwo has always been more of a LWB. I would have called for his invite (considering that we have Echiejile in our midst) but for fear of multitudes descending on me. Hahaha I think he can compete with Echiejile but Amokachi may want to come back from retirement if we look Taiwo's way lol daveP: |

ChrisKels: Avoidable? Somebody is about to enter your box and u think it is ok to just let him in and hope that your fellow defender helps. What if he helps and the ball is passed to his man who is then open? Like I said football is not ballroom dancing, u have to make contact at times. |

BascoVanVeli:yes its comical as well saying if you can dribble like moses then you must have a name!! is he messi or ronaldo. How many minutes have henry played in the GWG, have you giving him as much minutes as moses which butress my point you might be good but lack platform to showcase. i still maintain my stand henry dribbles more than moses.. moses might be better in other aspect but not dribbles. Dont make me sound like i hate victor am a chelsea fan. |

After watching our match against Poland again,, I was disappointed about the fillowing: 1. Without Mikel, we struggled stringing passes 2. Our shots at Target was very poor 3. Our wing backs were static But the positives are: 1. We pressured upfront whenever the Polish defenders had the ball especially during second half 2. Ndidi was a war horse in the midfield as usual 3. Nacho worked hard upfront 4. Ighalo may be slow but the dude is a trouble of defences 5. Uzo is a future goalie who will gain a lot at the WC |

I finally watched the match this morning and I must say that I was impressed. I still am ![]() ![]() Ebuehi needs to start abeg. Shehu messed up yesterday with the defense(most of the time but made an incredible 2nd half block in the box). Victor Moses' new role at CHE also helped us as he sometimes covered up for Shehu in the first half,so that's a good thing. Bryan was definitely better than Echiejile. No doubt. I want to see Aina come in for Ebuehi as a RB against Serbia. Let Shehu rest small and let's see what Aina can do in his natural position. All in all,it was a good game. I'm happy. Poland weren't so friendly after all. Not even a usual 'sorry' to our players after a bad tackle. But who cares? We beat them in their backyard in front of a 42k filled stadium in which 98% were white. I could only count about 4 Nigerians excluding the NFF so yes it was a big victory ![]() UPSUPEREAGLES UPNAIJA ![]() ![]() ![]() 10 Likes |

shogz89: Nigeria International Victor Moses is among the top 100 dribblers in the world as far as it is concerned in the top five leagues across Europe. The latest ratings released by Football statisticians CIES Football Observatory ranks Moses in joint 76 position 70 places behind Barcelona and Argentine superstar Lionel Messi who is ranked 6th in the world. http://.com/amazing-moses-ranked-among-top-dribblers-in-europe Is Onyekuru on the list? NO. Cefini. Top 10 Premier League Dribblers MARCH 31, 2012 BY BACK PAGE FOOTBALL The Premier League does not have Lionel Messi, or no longer boast the trickery of Cristiano Ronaldo, but here are the top 10 players to have produced the most successful dribble attempts in the 2011/12 season to date: 10. Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur) – 49 Last season’s PFA Players’ Player of the Year has dribbled past opponents on 49 occasions this season. This included a standout performance in a 2-1 victory at Wigan where the Welsh winger successfully dribbled past opponents on half a dozen occasions and scored Spurs’ second goal midway through the first half which proved to be the winner. Gareth Bale has completed 82% of his open play passes in his 28 starts this season, an improvement of 8% on last season. In fact, Bale has improved his figures in the Goals Scored, Assists and Crossing Accuracy this season as last season’s award still remains a mystery. Or was it because of his solo effort against Internazionale in the Champions League that swung the voters his way for the Premier League award? 9. Nani (Manchester United) – 49 Despite suffering from a couple of injuries this season, the Portuguese winger has succeeded in 49 dribble attempts in 22 starts for Manchester United in the Premier League this season. The former Sporting player was instrumental in Manchester United’s 3-1 victory over Chelsea, handing Andre Villas-Boas his first defeat as Chelsea manager. Nani scored the second goal of the game with a rising drive from outside the area before winning a penalty in the second half (which Wayne Rooney failed to convert). Nani has contributed with 6 goals so far this season and eight assists in open play. Both of these are down on last season when he was a strong contender for PFA Player of the Year. Nani’s 1,876 minutes in the Premier League this season are more than any other Manchester United midfielder during an injury hit season for the team. 8. Jose Enrique (Liverpool) – 50 One of Kenny Dalglish’s better signings during his second spell at Liverpool, Jose Enrique is the only defender who makes the list. The Liverpool full back who often overlaps Stewart Downing on the left flank has successfully beaten 50 opponents with the ball at his feet during the 29 Premier League games he has played. Jose Enrique has played the full 90 minutes in each of the league games he has started this season, only missing Liverpool’s 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in February. The former Newcastle left back has picked up just two yellow cards this season, with one of his strengths pinning wingers to the touchline. Enrique’s attacking abilities has seen him attempt 115 crosses leading to 2 assists in the Premier League to date. 7. Stephane Sessegnon (Sunderland) – 51 The Sunderland forward has been one of the better attacking players in the Premier League this season. Stephane Sessegnon is amongst the top 10 in successful dribbling attempts (51), open play chances created (46) and open play goal assists (7). Stephane Sessegnon is currently Sunderland’s top Premier League goalscorer with 7 goals, making his return to score against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday following a three-match ban for a straight red card in the Tyne-Wear derby. The Benin international has improved his Pass Completion Rate, Crossing Accuracy and Minutes per Created Chance in comparison to the 13 starts he made last season. 6. Luis Suarez (Liverpool) – 52 Despite sitting out 5 Premier League games through suspension, Luis Suarez makes the top 10 having successfully dribbled past players on 52 occasions during his 25 game season. The controversial Uruguayan is Liverpool’s top scorer with seven Premier League goals to date. No other player has committed more handballs than the six Luis Suarez has been penalised for to date. Another category Suarez leads is free kicks won per game. Some opposition fans won’t be too surprised to hear that stat. 5. Scott Sinclair (Swansea City) – 54 The Swansea City left forward has contributed to the Premier League debutants with 7 goals, all at the Liberty Stadium and five from the penalty spot. The former Chelsea youth scored 19 goals during the Swans’ promotion campaign last season and has adapted well along with the Welsh side in the Premier League. Scott Sinclair scored one goal in his 18 Premier League appearances on loan at Wigan Athletic in 2009/10 and has greatly improved his goal rate with Swansea, scoring his 7 goals in 30 games. Sinclair has not scored since a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea at the end of January. 4. Nathan Dyer (Swansea City) – 54 Praised for their exciting passing game, Swansea City also have two of the top five dribblers in the Premier League. Along with team mate Scott Sinclair, Nathan Dyer has taken the ball past opponents on 54 occasions through 30 games this season. Dyer caught national attention during a 3-2 victory over Arsenal in January where he scored the home side’s second goal after winning a penalty for the first in a game he dribbled past three Gunners. Nathan Dyer has created more chances (25) than team mate Sinclair (22), but only has one assist compared to his team mates three. The former Southampton youngster has succeeded with 56% of his dribble attempts, whilst Sinclair’s success rate is 48%. 3. Moussa Dembele (Fulham) – 63 The lively Fulham forward has caught the attention of a number of football fans and pundits alike for his dribbling and technical ability. Moussa Dembele scored his only 2011/12 Premier League goal to date in a 2-0 victory at Wigan at the end of October. In that game, the Belgian international successfully dribbled past four opponents but failed to create a single opportunity for a team mates. The former AZ player has scored four Premier League goals in 55 appearances, creating 74 chances for team mates, resulting in five assists during that time. Manager Martin Jol may want Dembele to increase his productivity levels at Craven Cottage, but the Fulham number 30 has certainly shown his ability to entertain in the English league. 2. Victor Moses (Wigan Athletic) – 72 Following the sale of Charles N’Zogbia to Aston Villa in the summer, Wigan Athletic fans and manager Roberto Martinez were looking at Victor Moses to fill in his place. The former Crystal Palace player has certainly had his opportunities on the left wing, but has yet to fill into the French man’s boots. Chairman Dave Whelan criticised his manager for leaving Moses on the bench for a home game with Swansea City recently, but the three Premier League goals scored by the Nigerian so far this seaso have made him anything but prolific. Victor Moses’ 72 successful dribble attempts are down on the 109 Charles N’Zogbia produced in a Wigan shirt last season, and the new left-sided player is also down on the former’s goal assists; five to one. N’Zogbia’s nine goals last season were a big factor in Wigan avoiding relegation last season, can Victor Moses become the 2011/12 hero in the final eight games? http://backpagefootball.com/top-10-premier-league-dribblers/36368/ Now, show me where Onyekuru is the best dribbler in Belgium or among the best in Europe? ![]() Make una stop to dey deceive people 4 here. ![]() |

Kog45: to start with we need a AM but not as desperate as we make it look, we even need a striker more than an AM, we just got our self a Joel obi who will come good, Mikel agu invite is impromptu, and in that case you will go for a player you know on and off the field, Rohr won't want to disrupt the feeling in camp with a wrong invite, the team for Russia is already set. we should be expecting 2 players in each position Joel and Mikel in the atracking position, if you have been following Rohr you will notice he fancies Mikel Agu, who knows he might be seeing what we don't see. just like Mikel, obi and moses plays in the defensive position sometimes in there club side, Agu might actually have attacking instinct too. i have not been impressed with the Agu guy though but I'm just been neutral 1 Like |
