Re: Ovie Ejara and Seyi Ojo
We need both local and foreign born players that qualify to play for us. It doesn't matter where they where developed. A mix of both is not a bad thing. The Algeria world cup team had 16 players that were born in France.Chingo Bling wrote:How is naija losing out?okidoki wrote:I really do. Not your fancy footwork type of striker.

This players were born in England and developed by English teams.
Naija won the last U17, we have players just as good as those born and raised in England.

Re: Ovie Ejara and Seyi Ojo
@ Patrick,
Ovie Ejaria came on from the bench vs Madrid in the UEFA U-19 CL and didn't impress at all...Lost the ball trying to dribble in the midst of three players which led to Madrid getting back in the game from 2-0 down.
Contributed little off the ball...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Ovie Ejara and Seyi Ojo
Here are some comments by fans:
Ovie Ejaria was pretty poor for me. Doesn't do much with or without the ball.
=======
He seems too casual on the ball to me, doesn't seem like he's putting in a shift like the others.
Plus he cheered for arsenal in the middle of a liverpool game on twitter. doesn't seem to take things very seriously imo
======
Seems to think he's a bit better than he actually is, for me. That sort of thing can be worked out but depends on the youngster in question. He just seems to try to dribble around players when there's no need for it, gets caught in bad positions due to overconfidence a bit.
=======
Not just on the ball either. I don't want to come off too harsh either but it's just a little bemusing to me how you could come on at half time against Real Madrid and not be sprinting all over the show. Think that was part of the reason we ceded the game in the 2nd half. Oh well. Got the win.
=======
Might be his previous training. This team likes to move the ball with quick 1 and 2 touch passing whereas he may have been trained to dribble through the middle more and take on players. I can see he has talent but up to him and our coaching to get the most out of him.

You are asking the wrong person. He doesn't follow the youths only the overpaid seniors players.
Aina is a baller, I do rate him highly and he is highly regarded within Chelsea youth setups. His game is similar to that of Celestine Babayaro.

Re: Ovie Ejaria and Seyi Ojo
2 Nigerian boys already playing for England U-17. I predict the English team will have quite a few Nigerians in the next 5 years.
England’s Young Lions booked their place in May’s Under 17 European Championship with an impressive 3-1 win over Slovenia at Chesterfield.
John Peacock’s team, the defending European champions, surged into a three-goal lead by half-time courtesy of goals from Reece Oxford and Nathan Holland followed by an own goal by Matija Rom.
Although Slovenia pulled a goal back through Jan Mlakar in the 65th minute, England were worthy winners and advanced to May’s finals in Bulgaria with a match to spare.

Boosted by Saturday’s 3-1 win over Norway at Burton-upon-Trent, England made the short trip north to Chesterfield full of confidence ahead of the second of three Elite Round qualifiers held this week.
And they were soon on the offensive, with visiting goalkeeper Rok Vodisek pushing away a fierce shot from the Leicester striker Layton Ndukwu, who was chasing his fifth goal in Euro qualifying, inside two minutes.
Slovenia, who had easily beaten Romania 3-0 in their first game of the qualifying mini-group on Saturday night, threatened when Timi Max Semic cut inside and forced England goalkeeper Paul Woolston into a low fingertip save.
But England took the lead on 20 minutes and it was all the work of young Everton winger Holland. He helped win a corner with a purposeful run and then swung in a delivery that Oxford, the captain, headed into the top corner.
Back came Slovenia and Newcastle stopper Woolston excelled with a one-handed save to keep out Jacob Novak’s thunderbolt.
While the away side failed to take their chances, England were clinical and were in total command by half-time.
Holland gained a goal that was just reward for his efforts on 36 minutes, playing a one-two with Arsenal man Chris Willock inside the box before drilling the ball into the bottom corner from 10 yards.
And Holland was involved in the third too, which arrived two minutes later. Having advanced into space down the right, his cut-back was sliced by full-back Rom into his own net.
Peacock was allowed the luxury to make changes in the second period and Manchester City duo Will Patching and Lukas Nmecha were given a run-out, as was Tottenham’s Marcus Edwards.

Slovenia deserved something on the balance of play and pulled one back 15 minutes from time when Fiorentina man Mlakar, the skipper, looped home a back post header.
But a comeback never looked likely and England complete their qualifying campaign against Romania at Burton on Thursday knowing their place in the finals is already rubber-stamped.
