Archangel15: How many minutes and how many games did Aina play for the SE. Aina primarily is a RB to have a level playing field he should be tried in his preferred position. However, that not withstanding did he get a fair chance ![]() How many minutes of SE playing time did he actually get. Finally, how on earth can we be taking a player who has started to decline so badly that he failed in lowly Turkey went to Belguim and started playing 2nd division in Belgium and not even first choice. Finally this player has lost pace he is now a liability. That player was taken ahead of Aina. THAT'S A TRAVESTY. I really don't see how we can justify taking Onazi even Joel Obi has been disappointing. The way Aina has been treated will be great boost for other players considering playing for Nigeria. 5 Likes |

Simy is our biggest threat going foward, i prefer him to Ighalo and Iheanacho, he is the kind of striker that we need and will do wonders with Iwobi as the AM. Believe me he is more of a threat than Victor Moses. I suggest we pair him with Victor Moses in a 3-5-2 formation, that is, if Moses is not played as a WB, or with Ighalo. Looking at a our squad depth, it is best if Victor Moses plays as a wing back. 4 Likes |

Musa Mohammed better than Aina,well your opinion just like your opinion on Osas Okoro as the best Nigeria RB. Oh Aina London born,this should not be an issue in analysing his performance.

Ogenyi Onazi determined to rectify Wembley mistakes Nick Said, KweséESPN ESPN.com | 3:43 PM WAT Ogenyi Onazi has admitted that he played a poor game against England and that he needs to improve before the World Cup. The midfielder was hooked at halftime after a nightmare first 45 minutes in Nigeria's 2-1 defeat to England at Wembley on Saturday, and told KweséESPN that it was a "disappointing game" for him. "Saturday was a really disappointing game for us, especially for me in the first half. But this is part of life, this part of football. You just need to learn from your mistakes and then you move on," he said. "It didn't go well for me yesterday. It was really not a good game. It was not me. But this is the game. Sometimes you play good, sometimes you don't. You just look forward to making a good outing in the next game. "Thank God this is preparation. When we get to the World Cup proper, things are going to get better." Onazi uncharacteristically gave the ball away a number of times and missed several tackles. In fact, his mistake and subsequent missed tackle allowed England to go forward and score their second goal through Harry Kane. The midfielder took responsibility for the error but explains that Nigeria's first half formation left the midfield isolated. "I have to get better. That wasn't me yesterday. I don't really want to think about the game too much," he added. "The problem we had yesterday was the formation, it was not going really right. I did a lot of running on the pitch because we were always one man short on the defensive part of the game. "The second half was much better because we played the same pattern with them and everybody was with his man." Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr told reporters at the post match press conference that his team needs more work to be ready for the World Cup, something Onazi agrees with. "We have a lot of things to do. We have a lot to put in place. We haven't really had time to train really well, to really work on our system. Because we have one system," the Trabzonspor midfielder continued. "Now, we are trying to play other systems and I think we are going to get much better." Nigeria departed for Austria on Sunday morning for the final phase of their pre-World Cup training camp. They will play the Czech Republic in a friendly on June 6 before heading off to Russia on June 11 where they will face Croatia, Iceland and Argentina in the Group phase. http://kwese.espn.com/football/nigeria/story/3516715/world-cupnigeria-super-eagles-ogenyi-onazi-wembley-england 2 Likes |

After watching that game at Wembley again, I must admit we didn’t own the second half. In fact it was pretty even, they prolly created more chances than us. We just did far better than we did in the first half. 6 Likes |

Colin udoh- The fickle nature of Nigeria football fans. You’re like kids, always looking to discard the old toy once a shiny new one pops into view. And always so comically predictable. Each time the cadet teams (U17, U20) Do well at the world stage, the immediate refrain is, yup, you guessed it “keep them together”. As if it’s possible for a national federation to keep and maintain players like a clubside. When national team players have a bad day at work (like Onazi Ogenyi Eddy and Joel Obi at Wembley), they are instantly declared “finished” and a posse of new names trotted out in their stead as the savior. The same Onazi that was once hailed by these same folks as the savior. Yes, I remember when NIGERIA failed to qualify for the 2012 Nations Cup, these people savaged the entire team, and the coach for not calling up Onazi, stopping just short of saying he could not only qualify for the Nations Cup all by himself, but could possibly win the whole damn thing too, then bring the trophy home by walking on water! Today, the same Player has become their villain of the piece. Joel was hailed as the next best thing since sliced bread. There were even whispers of how he could bench everyone in that midfield, including Mikel kpakpa. Today, he should not go to the World Cup. Now there’s a shiny new toy to sink those grubby fingers into. His name? Kelechi Nwakali. Just like Onazi in 2011, Nwakali has barely two seasons of senior club football under his belt, but after watching him in one excellent game, against an arguably jaded team, folks want him to take over the world. Deja vu anyone? All of a sudden Gernot Rohr, who has watched the player over and over again, has tapes of him, and even invited him to come play the game where our Royal Ficklenesses saw him, does not know enough to leave the Player out of a WC squad he thinks neither Nwakali is ready for. But all of our Royal Ficklenesses, majority of whom have never been 100 feet of the Nwakalis, feel they know more and better than a man who put them in that spotlight in the first place! Yes, Onazi had a bad game. Yes, Joel had a bad game. And yes, both deserved to be subbed and need to work extra hard to prove themselves again. But that knee-jerk reaction of throwing them under the bus, is just not the right way to go. Not any more. Nigerian football fans must learn to be wiser and think a little deeper than just skin deep. Players will have bad games. Including the shiny new Nwakalis. Feel free to criticize them. On the basis of that bad performance and let them know they have to improve. But don’t be too quick to cast players away. We must learn to get behind the players when they fall down and support them to get back up. They will give you more and lay down more in good times when they see you have their backs in bad times. O pari 7 Likes 1 Share |

Croatia team. Typically organised European team. Gragra of the baltics. Physicality that does not last 90 minutes. I watched the Brazil match and was a bit pleased. Modric can be easily tamed. Just let Ndidi shadow him. Once we can neutralise him, Perisic can get a yellow and will not be up to it. They will play into our hands with their static defence. I doubt we will have plenty shots on target against them because they will try to contain us in the midfield. However, with V.Moses and perhaps a pacy Musa later on, we can hurt their rigidity. Iceland...we will beat. Argentina will beat us as usual. We play France in 2nd round and come home after that. 1 Like |
