Earthquake1: I just checked Europe B teams. Placing Nigeria side by side with those teams in Europe B,Nigeria beats them hands down for sheer number of talented wingers. However, our players are very young and inexperienced,they need to mature first. To put it simply,you're not far from the truth. |

charlesemeka85: I very much believe we can beat Libya again tomorrow.. The fact that its gonna be held in a neutral venue(even if the stadium will b filled with Libyans), won't matter much... My major concern are that the Libyans might try to play dirty like how north African teams and known for and Rohr might be playing for a draw like he stated last month about targeting 4 points against Libya 3 Likes |

We Nigerians always hate what we have, assuming Ibe was still in Liverpool he would have been better than all of our wingers combined, or agbonlahor, calton cole, sammy. The emphasis is, lookman or who ever FB out there is not better than what we have, this is not overhyping our players, this is pure truth, what is killing us is administrative problem not individual talents. French squad is made of approx 70% black, assuming its an african nation they wont pass the QF. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

darkelf: No. You got it all wrong to say they play in a weaker league so they qualify all the time. No. The top teams asides PSG are nearly evenly matched. Add to that, Ligue 1 has only ONE single spot for Europa. Just ONE! This means once they miss top 3 (Champions League) spots Bordeaux has to battle the likes of St. Etienne,Lyon,Rennes,Lille,Montpellier et al for that single (4th place) Europa spot! It's no mean feat. Hence,the perspective of your statement is wrong. 2 Likes |

I wanna see Moses Odubajo in that RB soon to push Aina for that starting spot, till Tyrone comes back. Shehu is so dodgy that when he has the ball at his feet, he treats it with the tension of a man kicking a live grenade along the ground. He should not be an option 3 Likes |

This might sound weird but I would like to see Musa, Henry, Kalu and Collins in a relay race. These guys have pace to burn I could even add Success but those 4 are fast mehn. Which goes to my point. I would like to see more 2 sport athletes emerging from Nigeria. I feel it is a big shame to only know about one sport and it limits creativity in players. I would love to see wingers who also run 100 meters or keepers who play basketball. The NFF should work with other federations on this because after all everybody can't play professional football in the future. |

MetalJigsaw:I've watched Samuel Kalu. If you think as of 2018 that Everton and Bordeaux are on the same level, then I don't know what to say. Bordeaux is on Burnley's level. This isn't a history lesson. Samuel Kalu has potential but he will be lucky to make Everton's bench. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Four Super Eagles who must up their game against Libya Solace Chukwu Correspondent Despite an impressive victory on Saturday, there's plenty scope for improvement with some of Nigeria's individual performances There really is not a lot to quibble with after a 4-0 win. The scoreline may have slightly flattered the Super Eagles on the day, but the resounding win against Libya means Nigeria once again is in control of her destiny in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. That is not, of course, to say that the performance was entirely without flaws. Gernot Rohr's men were the better side, but did not always show it, and had their feathers ruffled on occasion by a side grappling with the loss of their brash former coach Adel Amrouche. Which Super Eagle still has the most room for improvement between now and the Africa Cup of Nations? With the return leg to come on Tuesday, there is the understanding that some sort of result is required to consolidate second spot and stay on track. As such, it is imperative that some members of the team raise their game in Tunisia. SAMUEL KALU The Bordeaux man, earning only his second cap, was certainly eager to make an impression. That spilled over into his performance, which was riddled with individualism and poor decision-making. At times, he seemed on a personal crusade, over-complicating simple moves by taking superfluous touches, running the ball out of play while attempting one more dribble, opting for the shot when the pass was clearly the better option, and over-hitting crosses. He would eventually hit the mark, with his late strike being the pick of the bunch. However, it was a truly wasteful showing, and he would do well to simplify and pick his moments in the return. OGHENEKARO ETEBO Etebo is perhaps a victim of his own versatility. A true Jack of all trades in midfield, he was asked to function in perhaps the least optimal role, given his skill set. The former Warri Wolves man is a lot of things, but a deep playmaker he is not. He was very fortunate not to be booked, as he was caught out of position on a few occasions. On the ball, he also possesses none of the guile or vision required to create passing angles and adjust his body shape to play forward passes. At his best, Etebo excels powering forward, using his immense upper-body strength to drive his team up the pitch. If, however, Rohr continues to task him with this duty, he will need to show more than he did in Uyo. AHMED MUSA Team vice-captain Musa has enjoyed a real resurgence in the last five months. His star turn at the World Cup seems to have given him a new lease on life, and he followed that up by firing the Super Eagles into the lead, via the goalkeeper, against Seychelles. The first leg, however, seemed a return to the old Musa: anonymous and ineffectual. He was not helped by the fact he was stationed quite a bit on the right rather than the left, of course. Still though, much more was justifiably expected of him than he offered on the day. With Ighalo leading the line alone, Musa is one of the auxiliary attacking outlets of the team, and he could do better in terms of getting into goalscoring positions inside the box. HENRY ONYEKURU The forward only had a cameo off the bench, but it certainly was an eventful one. He might have scored twice in his brief period on the pitch, but for a couple of heavy touches when put through on goal. Much is expected of Onyekuru, a player of immense potential. However, if he intends to force his way into the reckoning for a regular starting place with the national team, he must become more efficient. Musa, who is his direct competitor for a place in the squad, already has a lot of credit with the technical crew. https://www.goal.com/en/news/four-super-eagles-who-must-up-their-game-against-libya/zwo63r3m05tr1cy3ye9dn4e66 3 Likes |
