One of such games involved a Nigerian prospect, Eberechi Eze, who plays for the Rs as an attacking midfielder was part of the starting 11 when the team sheet was released. He had a total rating of 8.4, which was only bettered by Liverpool FC loanee, currently playing for Swansea City, Rhian Brewster, 8.4 who was on hand to net a double,  Derby County’s Sibley,9.5, and Marcondes, 8.5. 

Eze was at the heart of anything good in attack for QPR but the goal needed to seal the hard work and creativity of the player just eluded him as they lost by 1 goal to fellow Championship side, Barnsley.

Another Nigerian on the books of Queens Park Rangers, is Bright Osayi. He plays primarily as a winger for the club. He had a difficult afternoon against Barnsley.

The defeat leaves Queens Park Rangers as the club looks increasingly frustrated having failed to close down the gaps between them and the other teams in the playoffs positions.
Question: Do you feel Nigeria should do everything possible to get Eberechi Eze?
