Defenders usually make lower scores than attackers

mostob:
I disagree sir, there should be at least one decent goalkeeper in NPFL. he should deputize for ezenwa.

Not only is Daniel Akpeyi most qualified, he has been on a top run of form lately. I love his newly discovered me against the world attitude and I really feel he has way more to offer the national team.

Winning over kaizer chiefs fans like he has done is not a small task. This situation reminds me a bit of ighalo after the world cup. He maintained top performances and was given a chance at redemption which he took.

That's Andreas Cornelius, he scored a hat trick for Parma against Genoa

There was a double block by Ekong against Torino...it was very very brave to have thrown his body on the line...he knows how to block shots with his hands behind his back and throwing his body....he is good at it

Look at this guy. A corper needed is the advert !!! Do I look like a corper to you or are you a learner ?

It’s not hidden that Nigeria is a secomd option for most of them. It’s not like playing for Nigeria is more prestigious than playing for Germz y. It’s just the fact.

do4luv14:




preference indeed

its that same preference that makes FELIX to keep us waiting will preferring to wait on germany

whats does that makes us a dumping ground or a secondary option?


And now his silly report about not sure if we still need him ,

what does that tells you? He wanna play the scribe of that REDCARPET MAN to get his dream call up,
which me and you both know is not the SE

Eze is not half the player Iwobi is

Best Player in the championship so far this season

5 MOTM performances in 12 games
6 goals
2 Assists
Highest numbers of completed dribbles.
90% pass accuracy

His name Eberechi Eze

This is the highlights of Eberechi Eze against Hull.

For those wondering what the fuss is all about

Did anyone say he is better than Iwobi? Eze is a good upcoming talent who still have alot to prove. The next step now in his young career is to make the leap to the epl and make a name for himself in international football. Kid is immensely talented

UNPOPULAR OPINION

Ebere Eze is the closest thing we have had to an Okocha since he retired.

You are definently right. He is highly talented and skillful but iwobi is more experienced and direct with better work rate

Have seen Eze play few times and must confess that he is naturally good but tends to showboat alot. I think he will shake that off as he matures in his profession

Rubbish..

The kid is dominating the championship this season with ease. We have our own Etebo in the same league.

There is even no need to compare him with Iwobi.

Ebere Eze is the real deal, that's all i know

Eze and etebo are different type of players so I see no reason for the comparism. Etebo is unfortunate to see himself playing for Stoke who re struggling to remain afloat in the championship but that doesn't he is not a good player.

Eze on his part is a rookie who is just taking the league by storm and tipped for greater things in the future with a move to the epl mooted in the media.

I would have castigated etebo if he is not seeing playing time in poor Stoke but the reverse is the case

tbaba1234:

And when he underperforms now u will be among those to call for his head lolz

Eze is super talented likewise Alex. Both have their qualities and shortcomings and it will be great to have both in the new eagles set up.

The boy is singlehandedly winning games for QPR. He is dominating games. He is a major reason why QPR are where they are. Etebo is a good player but he is simply not having the same impact.

Etebo and Eze don't play in the same position. Eze's position on the pitch with his talents makes it possible for him to win games for his team.

There are games also where Eze flopped

In 12 games, the man has 5 man of the match performances.. That is almost half of the games. He is allowed the occasional average game. Etebo has played a an AM for stoke this season.

Ejaria plays a similar role to Etebo and has also performed better than him. He is ranked number 14. Etebo is number 169.

So because of Eze and ejaria's emergence we should discard etebo? What was Eze and ejaria's rating in championship last season?

Etebo may not be the best but he is still needed in the super eagles. I have not been a fan of his but if not for anything his work rate and energy have been beneficial to the team so far

The same etebo was our best player at the last world cup and among the best at the afcon.

Who has said anything about discarding anybody? Etebo is an important player for Nigeria but there are Nigerian players in the same league playing better. There is nothing more to it. Ejaria will need a switch anyway.

All of them will be needed in the team. Ejaria is another jewel. I call him him the new pogba

The last two months have seen the Super Eagles post two of their more impressive performances under coach Gernot Rohr.

Yes, both the matches against Ukraine and Brazil ended in draws, and both saw Nigeria give up an advantage, but the feeling has been largely positive. The plan has been clear: keep a solid shape without the ball, then spring quickly with it. That has been good enough to earn respectable outcomes against two very good sides.

Beyond the gameplan and the flow of the matches however, the other constant feature has related to personnel. Neither selection featured Leganes defender Kenneth Omeruo, who in both international windows has been hobbled by injury.


The last 15 months have marked a resurrection for the 26-year-old: he usurped Leon Balogun on the eve of the Africa Cup of Nations for the right to partner William Troost-Ekong, and emerged from the purgatory that is the Chelsea loan system to earn plaudits, as well as a permanent deal, at Leganes.



Regular gametime at club level was crucial in edging out Balogun, of whom there were already doubts, and not solely over his inactivity at Brighton. Those misgivings came to a head in Egypt when, inexplicably, he dallied and afforded Madagascar the opening goal in the final group game.

It did not matter that the Super Eagles went on to lose 2-0 against a team not exactly famed for its parsimony at the back, or that it was an off-day for pretty much the entire side.

He was held up, a little unfairly, as the scapegoat, the mascot of a perceived complacency, and ejected from the starting line-up. This despite the fact that, in the previous game, he had been faultless against much stronger opposition in Guinea.

Of course, it was one thing to glimpse opportunity, and quite another to walk through the open door. In a sense, it seemed like Omeruo’s relative match sharpness essentially gave him a longer rope; there were errors at a number of points during his run in the side alongside Ekong: two mistakes led to goals against Cameroon, and a further two went unpunished in the semi-final against Algeria.

Those moments hinted at the partnership at the heart of the Nigeria defence being far from perfect, but Omeruo had taken possession, and it was always going to be harder to justify making a change when the alternative had come into the tournament rusty.

However, his recent absences have left that door ever-so-slightly ajar again, and in the intervening period, West Bromwich Albion’s Semi Ajayi has sauntered through to good effect.



Ajayi, who was included, and then cut from the provisional Afcon squad as a midfield option, has blossomed with the promotion-chasing Baggies in the Championship playing in his more natural position at centre-back. As such, when Omeruo begged off with injury, it was not club mate Chidozie Awaziem, but the former Arsenal and Rotherham man who won the battle to take his spot.

The result has been two largely assured showings at the heart of the defence for the Super Eagles. Remarkably, his display against Brazil might have seen him altogether gazump Omeruo for a starting role when November’s Afcon 2021 qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho roll around.

He has more going for him that simple possession, however.

A trade-off in breaking up the ‘Oyibo Wall’, as the partnership of Ekong and Balogun came to be known, was the synergy between them, and how their strengths and weaknesses melded.

The Udinese man, being younger, played the role of aggressor, stepping out of the defensive line and roughing up opposing strikers. This perfectly masked his struggles with defending in space, and that deficiency was filled in by his naturally more contemplative Brighton partner, who hung back, organized and made clearances.


Ekong and Omeruo simply did not have that same natural flow, as their styles were much too similar. The Leganes man has always done his best work alongside an organizer, and unsurprisingly Nigeria’s most assured defensive performance at the Afcon in the summer came against Guinea when he was paired with Balogun.

Whenever he and Ekong were forced to turn and run toward their own goal, they faced problems: the aforementioned quarter-final against Cameroon was one such scenario, and while South Africa’s lack of runners in behind meant Ekong and Omeruo were largely unbothered, Algeria also exploited that ruthlessly.

What Ajayi’s introduction has brought, interestingly, is precisely that same ability to survey the play, eschewing diving in and rashness in favour of winning the ball cleanly and playing forward with composure. Paired with Ekong’s increasingly vocal bent (developed out of necessity), there is a greater balance to the centre of the Super Eagles defence once more.

It may very well be that, by the time Omeruo is next able to honour an international call-up, he will find the team’s defensive upholstery has once again shifted, and this time not in his favour.
