That’s how Olanare was painting China with goals abi? Or Anichebe who could not even shoot a handgun in the Chinese 2nd tier. I promise you many of our strikers won’t score as much as Ighalo has in China, though they could come better in the GWG. Was his exploits in England a fluke? Some players don’t just translate their club form to the national team. Ighalo seems to be one of them tbaba1234: 3 Likes |

Joebie: Olanare had a good goal record in China (15 goals in about 34 games) but he could not replicate the same in Europe. Anichebe did not play many games and he was never prolific to start with. Ighalo has one good season in the top flight. He went to China on the back on an almighty barren run. |

Anichebe could not do what Olanare did in the Chinese 2nd tier ![]() Also take note Ighalo’s barren run started in the EPL and extended to China. Why did he not start firing all cylinders immediately he moved to China? Modified Olanare played in the Super League season 2014/2015. The quality has improved since then though tbaba1234: |

Rangers play beautiful football, the way just dismantled Nasarawa United is very astonishing. This Aiteo cup is quite interesting with sexy football unlike the league itself. one guy that has really caught my attention is Rangers left back, Isaac. I haven't seen an NPFL left back in decades, so beautiful with pin point long and short passes, crosses accurately, very solid in defending. I dont know his age yet though I aint sure he is Nigerian. With this match against Nasarawa, dude is awesome but I wont draw any conclusion yet, considering the level of the opponent he just came up against. If our league was as beautiful as this Aiteo cup, wetin u wan talk again kwanu? |

Joebie: It was from an interview on the club website that he confirmed his desire to play for Nigeria at senior level. It is not good PR for him to be talking about representing another country when he just got his first England call up. I am sure his reps appealed to the club to pull it down. 2 Likes |

Odunayaw: They have almost a different team from those 2016 lieutenants, though Okey Odita Pape Diop and Olusesi are still there but the core; Orji, Clement, Egbuchulam, nwobodo, Aguda, Okolie, Madu, Ocheme, Egwim even Nana Bonsu aint there no more but that Imama's touch is still prominent with their tiki-taka footie style. About the viewing quality, I saw the match via NTA, so the less said...but the craft(the game) was beautiful, the goals too. There was this absolute beauty from Isaac's long range pass to their number 9, that was ruled offside. It was supposed to be the 5th goal for Rangers. Too bad, seems Isaac is a Benin international. |

Success, Simon have the quality to revitalise Nigeria's attack By Colin Udoh, West Africa Editor, KweséESPN Gernot Rohr's preference from the get-go with Nigeria has been to employ one lead striker flanked by two quick, wide forwards, supported by roving full-backs who can cross effectively. His selections have mirrored that philosophy, especially in that striker role, where the likes of Brown Ideye, Kelechi Iheanacho and Odion Ighalo have all led the line at various times. Victor Osimhen has been on standby of sorts to slot in, but his lack of game time at Wolfsburg has hampered his chances. Since his recall and goal against Cameroon, Ighalo has been the default go-to line-leader, and he remains so, despite an underwhelming goal return. However, fans were less than completely convinced by his abilities during the World Cup, and even Rohr himself admitted as much when he conceded that his call-up against Seychelles was to allow the China-based striker the opportunity to prove that the still had goals in him. That faith was rewarded when Ighalo netted in a 3-0 win against the Seychelles, but fans remain unconvinced. So, it seems, does Rohr, at least if his decision to call up Isaac Success is anything to go by. Rohr has long coveted the Watford striker; his abilities are not in doubt. As a matter of fact, he ticks almost every box in the German's checklist, even if two previous invitations have come to nought. The forward turned up on time on this occasion, an indication perhaps that the worst of his indisciplined days may perhaps be behind him. However, of more immediate important concern to Nigeria fans will be how Success translates that to the pitch, and what that does to the current attacking dynamic. With Ighalo on fire in China after hitting the 20-goal mark, it is hard to see him anywhere else but the starting line-up, irrespective of what the fans may think. However, if and when Success does come on, his performance should be of massive interest...and perhaps consequence. Speed and bruising strength will be vital against a Libya side expected to hunker down and fight for a point, like they did against Bafana Bafana. Success' skillset is well suited to that contest, and if he does his job, as he has done with Watford so far, his age means he may just be position himself as the long-term option. Supporting the forward on the flank will be the wide forwards. Prior to the World Cup, Moses Simon, a Rohr favourite, was a lock for the right wide forward position, until injury struck. Since then, Ahmed Musa has won back his place as a starter, and Alex Iwobi is enjoying a fizzing new lease of life at Arsenal. While Victor Moses's retirement has left something of hole, Samuel Kalu has emerged as a teasing prospect, while Henry Onyekuru can also play centrally or wide. With such a deep depth chart, Simon's return leaves Rohr with a selection headache, albeit a positive one. Musa, Iwobi and Kalu are all in form, while Onyekuru started life on loan at Galatasaray strongly. The Bordeaux wideman acquitted himself admirably in the victory over the Seychelles, as he made his first start, although it wouldn't be a major surprised if any of his aforementioned rivals took his spot against Libya. Iwobi's recent rejuvenation puts the Arsenal man in line for a start on that wide position, although he could also replace Kelechi Iheanacho as the team's No. 10. There are many coaches who would love to be in Rohr's position, but it's now up to him to make the best decisions for his side. Source: KweseESPN 2 Likes |

How fortunes turn in football is quite funny, Joel Asoro was the more respected youngster in the Sunderland ranks prior this season, in fact, Maja played second fiddle to him, hence didnt get much recognition. Asoro was too big to go down to the league 1 with Sunderland, he instead remained in the championship though with Swansea, leaving Sunderland with the less heralded Maja. Today, Maja is the toast ahead of Asoro, and he is doing it from a league lower than Asoro's. News reaching our desk, has it that Maja is a sure bet for Southampton and or Newcastle, come January but they will have to fight off other bigger epl clubs who view the youngster as the real deal. It is almost certain that Maja wont stay in the league1 past the winter transfer window as he is looking to follow in the foot steps of lookman, Alli et al who made the big leap to the EPL from the league 1 4 Likes |
