This looks good.

But i have a question. Can ighalo play effectively as a lone striker without a partner?

As I re-watched the Poland game all I could say was Moses is a catalyst. A potential game changer in Russia alongside Mikel.

Three stars for you. Rohr has created game changers but he keeps downplaying it...he is a good psychologist..

No 1 game changer-Mikel Obi
No 2 game changer- Victor Moses
No 3 could be Joel Obi if he is allowed to attack more

Do you know Aluko you have been clamouring for is 29 and also helped Hull city to premiership but was release immediately by hull.

If Aluko was that wonderful why didn't they hold him on with a contract

#hypocrite
you're trying to say that according to Komekn since Omeruo couldn't be signed permanently by Middlesborough even though he helped them to the premiership because he is not good enough that Aluko is not good enough that's why Hull city didn't retain him shocked shocked shocked

Your comments come after the event, Shakespeare bought him to lead and score goals along side Vardy.

Currently Puel is in charge and is developing KC to be a better player in the context of what Leicester want and need.

Does not add up. Was Iheanacho brought to lead the line of Leicester City? No is the answer. He was bought as a future asset. Iheanancho was never bought to lead Vardy. He is a future project.

The explanation by kentebemoney has covered me..if you watched the second half against Argentina and last ten minutes against Poland ,you will agree with me that the trio are our best midfield combination excluding the two Obis

That is not enough to conclude the trio is the best combo.

Why do you have to exclude the two Obi's? Are they not part of the team?

The Ogu, Ndidi, Onazi trio is a defensive one and can only be used to secure a lead.

You cannot start a game with that kind of combo.

Why is there so much emphasis on his age? Uzoho is 19 years. What’s so strange about that?

I wonder. Some people have rapid development. I for one look way older than my age. I get a lot of respect from older people who address me as 'sir' and I just smile inwardly.

If I was a footballer they will be here claiming I added 15 years to my legit age.

REDEMPTION TIME: 5 Super Eagles Stars Who Need To Shine Vs Serbia
5 March 26, 2018 11:09 am

Ahead of Tuesday’s friendly against Serbia, Completesportsnigeria.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU lists five Super Eagles players who need a big performance to redeem themselves and cement their spots in the squad for Russia 2018 after below-par showings against Poland…

LEON BALOGUN
Hailed for his formidable partnership with William Troost-Ekong during the qualifiers, the Mainz of Germany centre-back has struggled to impress in the Super Eagles’ last two games.
No wonder he was hauled off in the 4-2 friendly win against Argentina last November and the situation repeated itself on Friday with Kenneth Omeruo replacing him after another below-par outing.
With the likes of Chidozie Awaziem, Stephen Eze and Omeruo knocking on the door and hoping to secure starting berths ahead of the World Cup, Tuesday’s game against Serbia offers the towering defender a big chance to redeem himself and secure his place in the team.

BRYAN IDOWU
The Amkar Perm of Russia left-back had a memorable debut, scoring Nigeria’s third goal in the 4-2 win against Argentina last November. He was praised for his all-round display in the game and touted as possible replacement for regular left-back Elderson Echiejile.
Idowu however failed to live up to the high ratings against Poland and was way off the high standards he set in his previous outing and also at club level.
It is difficult to see him start against Serbia with Ola Aina and Echiejile also fighting for the same position.
Should he get the nod ahead of the duo again, Idowu will need to better his performance against Poland to prove he is the right man for the position.

JOEL OBI
Plagued by injuries in recent years, the Torino of Italy midfielder was handed the chance to stake a claim for a place in the team ahead of the mundial against the Poles.
Though he didn’t do his chances any harm following a battling display in the middle of the park, with the likes of Mikel Obi, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Mikel Agu ahead of him in the pecking order, Joel could make do with another chance and a top-notch display to prove he is worthy of a place in the World Cup squad.

TYRONNE EBUEHI
Still considered as second choice to Shehu Abdullahi, the ADO Den Haag right-back showed his class when he was introduced after break in the friendly win against Argentina in what was his debut game for the Super Eagles.
He was decent too after replacing the same player against Poland, but he will need to offer more to displace Shehu from the spot.
He might get the chance to finally prove his worth against Serbia on Tuesday with Shehu Abdullahi looking doubtful for the game after picking up an injury against Poland.

KELECHI IHEANACHO
An inconsistent performer on the international scene, Kelechi Iheanacho despite his quality and versatility has not consistently proved he is worthy of a regular berth in the team.
He was poor against Poland on Friday and might need to take his chance against Serbia if at all he gets to feature in the game to show he is still a force to reckon with in the team.

Bros I don tell you fact okay,if you like make you take am offensive e no consign me,wetin you talk now no get point okay.

Before leichester city buy ndidi was he playing regular for super eagles? Oga if you are good you are good okay,no b national team dey make dem buy players to good club

For your information Wilfred ndidi has only 3 caps for Nigeria before he was bought by leichester,so na regular national team match make dem buy am abi ?

Wilfred ndidi is yet to play a major tournament,na tournament dem dey use buy player oo,that's if you are good,how many people buy Keshi boys wey go World Cup ? Sunday MBA wey help us win afcon say e go better club after then ?

You no get wetin you want talk bros okay,how you go say na national team performance dey make dem buy player when most player like ndidi is yet to go to a major tournament.

According to you at u20 aluko was called up for both country which is true,but at the senior level was he called up for both countries ?

You guys feel if someone pledge his future to Nigeria the person is doing us a favor and the person should always be called up right ? Even if he merit the call up or not ?

I see. Your fact is that, if a player is good and he's YORUBA I should not support him.

What qualified Ndidi to play in the EPL?

I don't think you know much.

Bros you no get wetin you wan talk,I will prove it over and over again

Ndidi has not played more than 3 times for Nigeria before he joined leichester.

His Belgium league appearance earned him leichester city move same thing goes to his jamaican team mate who is yet to even play international football,his name is Leon bailey.

I disagreed with this guy submission on Balogun,against Poland he had a great match and was replaced due to knock.

Just watched the same Poland match again,Balogun was massive and at par with Ekong until he got substituted.

I'm really surprised this is coming from complete sports.

Onyekuru issue was work permit, I think his only undoing is his low transfer fee. I'm sure he would be in Everton next season if the club pushes for his stay under the "special talent" category.
Ndidi was already qualified to play in England because of his high transfer fee, he didnt have to have played for the national team, the transfer fee was enough evidence for the FA to know he was quality another way young players can gain work permit.
So it's not as simple as you make it sound.

From @NGSuperEagles


Media Alert:

Our official training holds at 4pm today(Monday). It will be open to the media and fans for the first 20 minutes only.
Our pre match press conference starts at 6.15pm.
Venue: The Hive, Barnet FC Stadium.
#SoarSuperEagles.

We should evolve beyond using The Hive for our matches. With the vast support base of the Eagles in London, a capacity of 5,176 is grossly inadequate.

Even in terms of revenue, the NFF is losing so much. The Super Eagles is now an exciting brand and the NFF should be creative in milking it.

It's the same lapses we see with the Jersey. People want to buy now, and you say you will only make it available when you want to. Doesn't work that way.

In as much as I want us to win our game against Serbia tomorrow, I would also advise us to be humble and focused going forward. COLOMBIA comes to mind. Prior to the 1994 world cup, Colombia breezed through the qualifiers, beating Brazil and humiliating Argentina on the way. In friendly matches before the world cup they beat Germany and Italy I think. They were the book makers favorites to win the 1994 world cup. Cocaine barons bet millions of dollars via betting syndicates on Colombia to win the World cup. GUESS WHAT? THEY DID NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE GROUP STAGE. They were over confident. Let's learn a lesson from this.
. Trust me,the boys know better than to be overconfident. They may be young but they aren't stupid.
