Jefersoun:
Ok to sum it up, unfortunately federal character. Yes i know it sounds odd and weird.

safarigirl:
lol...so because he scored two goals in a match in the world cup, he deserves a constant spot in the team?

Even Goetze that scored Germany's winner at the finals is struggling to keep his place in same team. Mba that won us AFCON with his goal hasn't featured for the team in 3 years. So, why should Musa have a permanent spot?

Na all this sentimental BS dey make Naija coaches field yeye teams mostly

Football is not played with emotions, anybody is expendable, Rohr is not indebted to anybody and neither is Nigeria. The two goals Musa scored na only for am, it did not put Nigeria on any pedestal in world football, it boosted his CV, but e no even affect our FIFA ranking

Maybe if he had scored the goal to take us to a World Cup Semi-final, we would keep him in the team till he's ready to leave

Gernot Rohr on Onazi: "He suffered a serious back injury. He'll have a scan to ascertain the extent of his injury. We'll observe Musa too."

TheGoodJoe:


Help tell Certitude that Yara Yara is a strong Homie who likes the beautiful female medical students that work in the secret lab.

tbaba1234:
Rohr: "We chose Senegal to prepare us for a physical Cameroon. We don't have the power of Senegal but we are learning and getting there."

TheGoodJoe:


Sub role. I think he can operate from both flanks.

Chrismario:


Suarez, lewandowski, cavani, higuain, lukaku, kane, bezema, Aubameyang, iheanacho and G. Jesus

TheSuperNerd:

You know Sir GoodJoe.... I always smile when Iheanacho is always the one people wanna criticise for every turn he makes.... what about Iwobi today he was downright poor but yeah we know why.... he is kinda not yet used to the physical "jam body" aspect of African football.... with Experience.... **chaiii... licensed word owned by the archguardian himself, Sir Icon4s** .... he will learn


Also... Iheanacho took almost all if not all our setpieces today and was on point mosr of the times.... he did his best to battle koulibaly and co.... Nacho wom the penalty and whem i saw he was the one to take it.... i just started shouting goal because I have never seen Nacho miss a penalty.... and he may never ever miss coz he is that good from the spot.... **remember his first spotkick for city as a 17yr old in the USA**


So plsss.... nacho had a good game though not a spectacular one.... but it is good he scored and his influence on the team shows that he cannot continue to warm that nonsense bench at City.... pep I like as a tactical coach but not as a manager (man manager).... Nacho needs an environment to blossom.... this is his generation sprouting up fast... and now add mbappe and Dybala to the equation.... Nacho needs to shine more... abeg...

Icon4s:


So who de we drop from the squad to accommodate Onyekuru. U know only 18players make match day squads.

safarigirl:
don't worry, Shehu Abdullahi is still in the team if na Federal Character dey hold Musa

Mickael2:


this is the exact same thing destroying all the sectors of the Nigerian economy. you see a doctor with a surgery success rate of well below 60% but because he carried out a successful heart surgery almost 20 years ago he will still be the leader of the team. makes absolutely zero sense

OMANBALA1:


Nerdy, where have you been?

forgiveness:


Your choice, your opinion, you are entitled to it.

TheGoodJoe:


I said a sub role. Not as a starter yet. That goes to, Simon Moses.

BascoVanVeli:


How many Nigerians have scored 2 goals in a match at the world cup?

Jefersoun:
shehu abdullahi is not a regular

BascoVanVeli:


Wetin I do u na? I never even park and u dey my case. That was not the angle I was heading towards. Nobody besides Musa has ever scored a brace for Nigeria so it makes sense that he is remembered for that and that was why i asked who else scored 2 goals?

Icon4s:


No na. I dnt think so.

Musa, though has not been at his best of late, has been a strong member of this team. Remember his brace against Argentina and his power strike against SA in the last friendly game we played against them.

I have suggested that he b converted to a supporting striker.

Besides, Ahmed Musa has passed his peak.

He peaked around 2014-2015 but meanwhile he is just 24.

Aha! who was i pointing out to the other day that most West African strikers peak between 21 and 25?

tbaba1234:


Rohr named Onazi as his captain today... perhaps, he was upset by that since he has been in the team longer. I do not know the truth about those reports.

Icon4s:

You drop Simon Moses for Onyekuru?

Icon4s:

Neither is Musa.

forgiveness:


That is not good for the team.

Was Rohr not told Ahmed Musa is... wait ooo but I also heard Musa surrendered the captaincy to Mikel and Onazi was named his deputy..

Jefersoun:
But he always get invited when fit to play.

TheGoodJoe:


Yes I will. I like Wing forwards that add bite to the attack.

tbaba1234:
Looks like Onazi's injury is serious..

Icon4s:


This man. Where u go since?

You and TheGoodJoe need to obtain a special copy right license before using that word EXPERIENCE.

On Iwobi, he battled a grade A typical west African side. Thank God Rohr played him there in this game. I guess we need to try Etebo or the baba himself, Mikel, against Cameroun.

There is always a difference btw the 'borough' brought ups and the 'area' brought ups. Rohr dey even fear to put Ebuehi even though he still had 2 more substitute slots.

Icon4s:


I am just trying to highlight how difficult it is for coaches to make a decision abt who to drop and to be replaced by who.
