The bolded is the koko. Ighalo NEVER lost form for us. NEVER!. He simply wasn't fed the right passes.

Our fullbacks at the WC were piss poor. Idowu was particularly USELESS!. Not a single meaningful cross from him throughout the tournament!. No overlapping, nothing. The midfield was just non existent. How many defence splitting passes did Ighalo get?.

He is a striker for heaven's sake, you don't expect him to create chances for himself!.

Put Ighalo in a team with a proper midfield and watch him score until you beg him to stop.

SlayerForever:
Considering his performance for both club and country: Iwobi on the wings or Iwobi as the 10. Which will be of more benefit to the national team? @edi247.

Diavolo:
ighalo was rightly criticized for his performances previously cos they were poor even at times abysmal and it was justified. But over the last two games he tried and performed well and he's been praised, but that's not to say he didn't deserve those criticism, he deserved them just as he deserves the present praise.

BascoVanVeli:


Wow this could be a major career highlight for Ighalo and who knows top scorer in AFCONQ and China and we may be talking about a podium spot for the POTY.

MetalJigsaw:
Is he still the highest goal scorer in China? I hope he wins it.

MetalJigsaw:
Last three games Sir

Mickael2:


the wingers will not hug the line if they are not instructed to. Watch Musa and see that our formation is not 'touch-line' oriented, so they can't just enter the match and start hugging the touchline after spending the entire training session cutting into the box, that would then be on the coach for poor game planning. No AMF stands in a spot, yes, but no AMF will virtually become a winger all game long even when the team is defending, Iwobi is too used to that wide role that instructing him to play as an AMF may not work in the national team, it has to start from his club.

So you are ok with Onazi's poor disciplinary record? If he gets a yellow early in the game do you know what Percy Tau will do with him?

BascoVanVeli:
I would rather see Libya qualify than SA at least as pay back for 2015.

safarigirl:
lol....why you no join since April?

Curtisaxel7:
Rohr will do us a great disservice if he plays Mikel as a 10 again and wastes Iwobi on the wings.

BascoVanVeli:


So other dey use wetin? That is a very bad habit to have tbh. He could cost us a goal that way.

BascoVanVeli:


No but he is one behind the leader. I hope so too

The Ighalo vs Iheanacho tussle was started by the regular posters here. It is now very very surprising that they are all deflecting blame from each other and writing long epistles upandan. Chai, people.

Go watch most great passers of the ball, they hardly go for aerial balls
Yo can't subject your power house to earthquake in the name of heading the ball

Fabregas comes to mind.

Clementoke:


Like seriously. I just pray Libya wins away in Seychelles

MetalJigsaw:
What is the goal difference?

$9.5m FIFA grant: Three NFF officials in court over alleged misappropriation

Three officials of Nigeria Football Federation were on Thursday arraigned in a Federal Capital Territory High Court at Maitama, accused of misappropriating $9.5 million and N1.3 million.

The defendants are Christopher Andekin, NFF Director of Administration and Finance, Reagan Zaka, Cashier and Fadanari Mamza, Head, Finance and Account Department.

They were dragged to the court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on five counts bordering on criminal conspiracy, breach of trust and misappropriation.

The prosecutor, Mr Steve Odiase, told the court that the three defendants conspired between January 8 and January 26, 2015, to commit the offences, contrary to Section 97 of Penal Code.

Odiase alleged that Andekin was entrusted with money meant for the development of football in Nigeria, a grant from the Federation of International Football Association.

He said that Andekin, however, fraudulently diverted N1.3 million from the NFF domiciliary account with Zenith Bank, an act that is contrary to section 311 of the Penal Code.

He further alleged that Zaka on his part, fraudulently diverted $7.2 million grant from FIFA for development of football in Nigeria while Mamza diverted $2.3 million.

The defendants all pleaded not guilty to the charges, and their counsel, Mr Arinze Egbo applied for their bail.
The Judge, Justice Peter Affen upheld the administrative bail granted to them earlier by the EFCC.

In addition, he ordered that the sureties should sign a bond with the registrar of the court, and the defendants should deposit their international passports.
The case has been adjourned until November 27, for the commencement of trial.

Diavolo:
Thank you oh. I agree ighalo has really played well over the last three games, but to say he wasn't ever poor for us or laying the blames for his previous abysmal showings solely on lack of service is over the top and a fat lie. In the previous matches, Ighalo has had several chances that he missed either due to poor finishing, poor positioning, poor techniques that he should have done better.

I’m particularly impressed with his last goal. The other goals join sha
