Ifeanyi Emeghara

@Super Eagle

Since Eme came to Romania he played as a left defender at Poli Timisoara or Steaua,and i think he played also in this position for Partizan.

Isn`t he the rival for Taiwoo`s place in the first eleven at the Eagles national team?

Taiye Taiwo is naturally left footed, so I would always play him at left back. However, our rightback, CSKA Moscow's Chidi is out with cruciate ligament injuries, so I expect Emeghara to play rightback at the forthcoming African Cup of Nations.

@Super Eagle - you should be proud of Emeghara, at this point, he's the only one worthy of playing in our squad in the field (Zapata, the goalkeeper, is another one). Great and creative player indeed, one of our few good investments this summer. Just look at his evolution here - http://www.fcsteaua.ro/echipa/Emeghara--1182814937.html, he was Top 3 in the last 5 matches in which he played, including last night against Sevilla.

He needs to up his game though. He came out of the Ebiede academy in Nigeria that produced Obafemi Martins and Lazio's Ayo Makinwa. That is the level at which Emeghara should be playing!

Seems like pretty soon he'll get there.

He he, let us know how the national team game went for him.

I will. He is in the squad to play Australia on Saturday and Switzerland on Wednesday. If he does well, he should make the squad to the African Cup of Nations in January.

Just letting you guys know that Ifeanyi Emeghara made his debut for Nigeria against Australia yesterday. He played leftback for the whole game.

I am not yet convinced that he is good enough to play at that level yet but he did OK. He got a bit better as the game went on.

I look forward to seeing Ifeanyi play for Steaua this weekend. He played two matches for Nigeria during the international break. He played leftback against Australia and rightback against Switzerland.

It is clear that rightback is his natural position and needs to be fielded there. He is OK defensively but I would like to see a lot of him going forward.

Meanwhile, Ifeanyi Emeghara is in the Nigerian camp in Malaga for the African Cup of Nations. I will try and bring you updates. He should make the final 23 and may even be a starter.

Thanx, Super Eagle.

By the way, Ifeanyi was voted one of the best players of the last season by this site's users.
