I still don't understand why NFF picked him over Van gaal. Dude flopped with Scotland and had a defensive style of play.
What a waste of $50k a month.

he was completely clueless for the period he was in charge.

still remember how he broke Nigeria long standing record of never exiting afcon at the Q-final stage.... but the dude and his boys lost out to Ghana even when we had an upper hand.

moreover who knows if the indigenous coaches then.especially the assistants were using charms to accentuate these coaches failure?
anything Is possible in this country...many of them want the super eagles job because of the shedding deals they can be opportuned to do while on the job

The likes of Sone Aluko, haruna lukman, taiye taiwo, imoh Ezekiel, Obafemi Martins etc were all doing very during keshi's time in the national team but he never gave them much time in the team cus of his preferred home based junks

Same goes for the current u20 coach. It's like "home based sell market for all". Since the FA are equally involved. How can players keep travelling back & forth to sign contract elsewhere rather than concentrating on national assignment. It is obvious they are all there on transactionary purpose.

He argues blindly many times

Keshi never gave Sone enough playing time during his reign as the super eagles upon the latter was in the form of his life then from Glasgow rangers to hull city. Keshi prefers to field Uzoenyi instead of Aluko who was miles better then

OK I agree not enough time, you are correct. After Keshi left, who else ever invited Sone? That was the question I asked. And obviously when Keshi started using Sone was when Keshi got fired immediately after the SA game. Anyway you win, to u, Keshi is the worst thing that happened to Nigerian football which is fine. To me Keshi had his flaws but he had his good sides and successes.

Yes, His name is Ikenna Malcolm Ezeala, a former Austrian under 16. He plays in Germany. His dad is an influencial agent. He plays as a left winger.

His dad's name is Emeka Ezeala, former Julius Berger.. Also played abroad. He had 2 caps for Nigeria.

Hmmm, I have never heard of the boy. Hope he is good?

From his stats, he can also play as a LB and LM.

Manchester City midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru is in line to represent the Flying Eagles at this month's FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland going by his performance in the training sessions, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Manchester born starlet has shown he's a player with exceptional qualities during the Nigeria U20s workout in Ingolstadt.

Tom Dele-Bashiru possesses all the attributes of a modern day number ten and all the people that matter, that is the coaches, have been singing his praises.

At the training sessions, the 19-year-old has shown he is an excellent ball distributor, quick, can dribble and create chances, and easily goes past defenders.

Dele-Bashiru was not in the Flying Eagles traveling party to Austria for their recent friendly with Saudi Arabia because he was issued a single-entry traveling visa to Germany.

He caught the eye in the 3-3 draw with SC Freiburg, scoring after coming off the bench.

The highly-rated midfielder debuted for Manchester City's first team at the age of eighteen but wasn't involved in first-team duties this term due to his contract situation.

See how your body is touching just because the boy is a fine mix breed. If he was an ugly homebased dude, you will accuse Paul of doing buisness.

Torres miss nko, should i even call more players? even luis suarez have missed sitters this season

But yesterday own made you guys have sleepless night, i know you guys reason was mancity not winning the league than the sake of your fellow nigerian player

Anyway make una cool down, its not over until its over

As a liverpool fan, It is solely liverpool's fault for loosing out

Don't conclude that everyone ranting are fans of Liverpool. Some are just angry at him being a Nigerian player

If any liverpool fan is thinking about nacho miss as match fixing

Then the newcastle match is match fixing ,maybe i will also say benitez allow them to win that game.

it would be stretching it abit to blame him for kompany's goal. at the time vincent collected the ball and advanced ndidi was shielding the centre of the defence. when vincent advanced further ndidi moved to the left to help chillwell who wasn't closing vincent down. by the time ndidi was thinking of getting close kompany unleashed that unstoppable shot.

if i'm to apportion blame i would first query chilwell for affording vincent so much space to advance and take a shot. ndidi could be blamed but that would be harsh cos he was protecting his own zone so chilwell's failure to ward off vincent meant wilfred had to come over to help but bear in mind he couldn't have come so quickly because he was mindful of man city players around his zone.

after all this however i would choose to commend vincent it was a world class strike which he's not known for hitting it could have beat any team in the world

On Ndidi's performance yesterday, his ratings from different sites says otherwise. The analyst that carried out these ratings cannot be all blind at once. is there something I am missing??

First of all, Laporte who made the assist was squarely in the middle so Ndidi should have been mindful of his position, then when Kompany got that pass I don't know why you'd be blaming Chillwell, the FB for that matter to cover someone running free in the middle? That means you don't know the job of a FB, if he rushes Kompany then he is out of position and that is a problem. Closing down Kompany is 100% the DMFs fault due to his position before unleashing that strike. Then when you consider that Kompany advanced well over 6-10 yards before taking that shot then it becomes a schoolboy error by the DMF.


Ndidi was at fault 100%

It is not about criticising or not, I remember against Algeria we scolded Onazi for not covering the guy that scored their lone goal and theGoodJoe was on attack mode against Onazi after that game because of that error, which Bascon can attest to, so him deliberately turning a blind eye to that obvious error is blatantly hypocritical.


By the way, I believe the rating should have dropped slightly because of that error leading to a goal, does not mean he didn't have a good game if the error is isolated and removed

What about the creative midfielder? Why should the defensive midfielder be the one to blame when you had Maddison and Chilwell playing the advanced roles in midfield.

Ndidi's job is to shield his defence and not press. Pressing would expose passing lanes for City to do what they do best.

By the ratings were earned statistically, not dashed by guess work.

When a defender is pushing forward to cause damage, you will not expect Fernandinho to be the one going for him. The center backs and defensive midfielders are the last call to press. Unless tactically you are tucking the full backs behind the dmf which was not the case.

This guy sef, do you think shielding the defense is sitting there at looking at players

Though I think it's Choudbury's fault for not closing up Kompany cos he was closest to him
