Am just worried about our defence

luvable sam: Am just worried about our defence

Defence is abit ok! Just not too ok with this Ameobi and Nsofor Invitation! We have other guys better and more hungry for Glory!

I like Nsofor because he takes shots from outside the penalty box and we needed a player like that in the Confederations Cup. Too many of our players like to dribble constantly before shooting.

I want them to make the best out of the qualifiers and am waiting to see them at Brazil 2014 World Cup

not sure what Nsofor and Ameobi brings to the party

They should invite of captain Yobo

Fegor Ogude should be part of the set up instead of John Okwuosa

The reason I say this is, if we are short in central defence Efe Ambrose can move into Central defence, Onazi can go right back and Fegor can slot in the midfield.

Nigeria like to pass the ball and play from the back. John Okwuosa and Azubuike Egwuekwe are too tensed to play from the back and are sometimes too rough for my liking

Dele Adeleye should be considered for invitation

I am not a fan of Azubuike Egwuekwe and John Okwuosa

osaze shld have been recalled..

i guess we should recall Yakubu as well...
