maybe ndidi is not a Nigerian Aside ndidi Etebi is by far better than bakayoko

MetalJigsaw:
And why exempt Ndidi if I may ask?

andrew444:


So you expect a player to join Bordeaux and leave Everton,everton can offer you 100k pounds weekly and bordeaux will offer you at best 25k weekly,the Epl is rich remember,even Cardiff city will sign a player ahead of Bordeaux.

But sorry bro Epl teams are trash,is it not the same Everton that could not get more than 1 point in the Europa league last season ? They came last in their group,Lyon beat them home and away.

Epl teams are very rich doesn't meant they are better than others in terms of playing.

You think Barcelona will easily buy a player at Everton right ? But Barcelona and others big team will easily buy a player from Lyon and co,Barcelona got Malcom from Bordeaux,I am sure Barcelona will not reason to get a player from Everton .

Who are the best players in Bordeaux na?? Answer me. Tell me the players that will bench Bernard and Lookman from Bordeaux. Funny how none of you have bothered to answer it. Go bring their squad and compare it to Everton.
People will not kill me with laugh. Kalu would get into Everton's first 11 because he plays for Bordeaux.

krattoss:

Am less busy this period hence am ready for whatever comes my way.

Ivory coast is a star studded team no doubt, they ve always been a star studded team so them having sta studded players recently isn't a rocket science to me.
But I repeat and still maintain that bakayoko will just be like eue in q in that ivory coast team.

Lol nwoke ike. How u doing bro? How is the weather this morning, down there in the city of merriment? Hope say men dey paint am red as usual, for every busy finger, there must be a reward. If u know, u know. Dodos to my staunch Owerri boys.

Bro I no wan dey argue with u anymore since e dey always end in quarrels, as my hommie wey u be, e no gud for us. So anything wey u say, I go echo anyi kwerere

Curtisaxel7:
The worst thing Rohr will do to us tomorrow is

(1) Playing Iwobi as a winger.

(2) Playing Iheanacho or Etebo as a no.10

(3) Starting Idowu

(4) Starting Shehu ahead of Aina

(5) Starting both Onazi and Ndidi. Two destroyers in one midfield. Haba!.

(6) Playing Iheanacho or Success as a top 9 ahead of Ighalo. (I know he won't do this one sha).

(7) Giving his usual flimsy excuses if we don't get a result.

I wrote this before the match. Maybe I am a prophet.

jihday:
bros, you sef get energy to argue, just agree Kalu go collect balloon d'or. thank God I watched the game I'd have thought there's something special about the Kalu

I mean don't get me wrong - I'm not saying Kalu isn't a good player. He is but I don't agree he walks in Everton's first 11. No way!!.

I never said kalu will get into Everton first team

If you watch my quote yesterday,I told that guy that kalu is not even better than yannick bolaise who was sent on loan from Everton

I am just trying to tell you how football works,Everton have better players than Bordeaux No doubt about that,but that doesn't mean Everton will automatically beat them ,apart from those Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal Tottenham and mancity ,Epl teams have always been disgraced in the Europa league ,west ham that even have better players could not make it to the Europa league group stage in 2 attempts against a backwater league team

Burnley could not even beat pass olympiakos to get to the group stage .

Yes no player in Bordeaux will bench Bernard

But if you think Bernard is world class then you don't know what you are saying,even a Malcom who just left Bordeaux for Barca is better than Bernard.

Brazil coach will rather call players from Brazil then to call Bernard

edi287:

I don't know about first 11, but he'll definitely make the bench at least. My opinion. The person that started the argument, in a bid to prop up Lookman, claimed Kalu won't even make the bench. Haha!

Tiemue Bakayoko to do a Wilfred Zaha on France as he is set to reverse his international allegiance to add to Ivory Coast's already packed midfield.

Supernerd where art thou

Imagine Bakayoko DM, Kessie CM and Seri AM, Cornet top 9 flanked by Zaha and "Pepe" the Neymar of Lille, Chai Nerdy bwoy wont like this breathing down on Onazi, Agu, Agbo, Etebo, Ogu hahahaha. Behind those gladiators are Aurier RB, Gbamin and Baily CBs and Ghislain LB

Lol Afcon go sweet biko

Dude really? the same guy that played for Chelsea last season? isokay

What do you mean where is my proof?

Can you name one Nigerian midfielder better than Bakayoko except Ndidi?

OK, Mikel is a Ghanaian

Rohr: Libya Will Be Tougher In Sfax, But Eagles Are Hungry For Another Win
October 15, 2018 10:57 pm



By Adeboye Amosu:
Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr, believes his team will face a difficult battle against the Mediterranean Knights of Libya in Tuesday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture at the Stade Taïeb Mhiri, Sfax, but assures his charges are well motivated to beat their opponent, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Rohr’s charges thrashed the North Africans 4-0 at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday with Odion Ighalo grabbing a hat-trick and Samuel Kalu netting the other goal for the West Africans.

The win improved the Super Eagles’ chances of making a return to Africa’s biggest soccer competition after failing to qualify for the last two editions.

The Libyans made the Super Eagles work hard for their victory despite the scoreline and created two goal-scoring chances in the first half.

And Rohr expects their opponent to prove a nut to crack in the encounter despite the emphatic victory recorded against them in Uyo.

“Tomorrow’s game will be tougher than the last one. It’s always difficult to play the same team twice in three days and win both games, but we’re just as motivated and hungry for victory as we were on Saturday,” Rohr stated in a Tweet poster on Super Eagles’ Twitter handle on Monday evening.

It’s matchday!!!

Exclusive: Rohr’s Starting XI For Reverse Tie With Libya – Aina Starts, Semi Ajayi Makes Squad
October 16, 2018080

Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has released his line up for today’s game against Libya in the race to be at the 2019 African Cup of Nations, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Injured Shehu Abdullahi who started in the first tie against Libya misses out and Ola Aina who replaced him starts today’s game at right full back while Rotherham defender Semi Ajayi makes the matchday squad after missing out entirely last weekend.

The squad will play same 4-2-3-1 formation like the tie they won 4-0 over the weekend as Rohr eyes a win which will secure their spot in next year African Cup of Nations.

Line Up:

Francis Uzoho (GK)

Ola Aina

Jamilu Collins

Leon Balogun

William Troost-Ekong

Wilfred Ndidi

Oghenekaro Etebo

Alex Iwobi

Ahmed Musa (C)

Samuel Kalu

Odion Ighalo

—OGN

Kalu is far better than Lookman, and will easily make Everton starting 11, he will easily relegate lookman to U23, Na me talk am.

Walcot is never better than our current young and excited wingers, he wasnt even better than VicMo talk more of his successors

SlayerForever:



Bordeaux and Everton are on the same level. How can you compare Bordeaux with Burnley? Haha I feel like laughing: That's a joke but it's not funny.

Everton is ranked highly than Bordeaux.

77 while Bordeaux 113. That is not the same level.

Manu Garba is good for the U17 team but I prefer Emmanuel Amunike to him

gamaliel9:


Ok..accepted..[Manu Garba should NEVER be removed as u71 coach].but remember...u17 level is way too different from u21...u21 requires more maturity...bravery and technique...thats why you cannot just shift most players of u17 to u21...players are this u21 level will have to be invited based on merit not based on u17 feats...Twice we have failed with that particular transition...

BascoVanVeli:
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.

I agree with the bolded.

somehow:
So Everton is better because they can buy Bordeaux player without blinking an eye?

Man City is better than Barcelona then since they can buy Barcelona's players without blinking an eye.

krattoss:
just because u re familiar with EPL doesn't mean other leagues are shiit.
Bordeaux will trash everton and his cohorts any day anytime.

Benerd and lookman still remain amateur to kamano and s. Kalu.

Bordeaux wey dem dey beat left right center for Europa. Even Slava Prague of Czech give dem sand chop. You dey here yan anyhow.

I didn't see that bolded. Bernard of Sharktar Doneskt?

Oasis007:


The Reason for my second Paragraph is simply to accommodate Lookman, Eze and other talented Nigerian Players below the Age in the National Team.

Then they can be gradually Integrated into the Senior Team based on Merit. Names keep popping up every Hour as if Rohr can invite more than 24 Players at a go or lineup more than 11 Players for a Match.

Lookman and Eze are not eligible to play for Nigeria underage teams. That must first play for the SE before they can play for U23.

sontoly:
Walcot is never better than our current young and excited wingers, he wasnt even better than VicMo talk more of his successors

Una no go kee me for this forum. Comparing Walcott to a Moses that was jumping from one club to another on loan before settling for a defensive wingback role?

And who be the "young and exciting" wingers sef?

Is it Musa who was relegated to Leicester youth team before following money to Saudi? Or is it Simon that can't get a starting shirt in Levante? Or Kalu that doesn't know whether to pass or shoot? Or Onyekuru who is getting benched in Turkey?

Who be the person?

AC Milan eyes another Ivorian midfield dynamo, Soualiho Meite. He has been a big hit in the Serie A this season (his first season) since joining Torino from Monaco last summer window.


Also, former PSG sensation and oldest of the kalou brothers, Bounaventure Kalou who among other Ivorian generals, captained by the great Didier Drogba himself, to repp the Ivory Coast in Germany 2006 world cup, has been elected the mayor of Vavoua. Congrats to Mr Bounaventure

You mean Richardson can't make Barcelona?
Person wey don dey bench Gabriel Jesus and Firnamo for Brazil national team.

MetalJigsaw:
A guy called to replace VicMo? A guy that walked straight into our starting 11? you obviously know just a little about Kalu. And you dare compare him to a very average Sadiq Umar? Don't make me curse you, because I'm fasting for days now. Nonesenese.

Because there was no RW as at time he was called.

forgiveness:


Lookman and Eze are not eligible to play for Nigeria underage teams. That must first play for the SE before they can play for U23.

Eze is eligible bkus he only repped England in a friendly match(U21) just like Luke Amos. Also Maja is eligible as he hasn't repped England at any level, not even in a friendly match.

forgiveness:


You mean Richardson can't make Barcelona?
Person wey don dey bench Gabriel Jesus and Firnamo for Brazil national team.

Lol benching Gabriel Jesus and firminho ? Oh because he was just called up for the past 2 games means he is benching them .

Will not argue with you,because you are a joke and you will always twist things so I won't waste my precious time

So richarlison will start in Barca ,is he better than ousmane dembele ?

Anyway I can see the effect of the kogi weed you have been smoking

Smh for you

forgiveness:


Bordeaux wey dem dey beat left right center for Europa. Even Slava Prague of Czech give dem sand chop. You dey here yan anyhow.

What happen to Everton at Europa league last season ? They could not beat Atlanta or even Lyon
