So you think if ndidi decides to force his move out of leicester, clubs won't line up for him?

Big clubs like Madrid, Inter, Barcelona, psg, bayern?? Of course he will go. Sheesh even historical big clubs like juventus, ac Milan, chelsea, man utd go even good. 4 apparent world class seasons and you still stuck at leicester. Omo I don taya

This ndidi hype don taya me. For the past 3 years you guys has been calling him the best dm in the Epl but his levels still never change. No big team.don come for am

10 goals in Bundesliga seria A la liga or epl holds more weight than 30 in Belgium league. Osimehn assistant position is open for grabs

temi1290:
But when Osimehn was in that league you guys wanted Rohr to bench ighalo for him.

point of correction we didn't want osimehn to bench ighalo when ighalo was at EPL. It was when ighalo started misfiring and was at a belgium club. Like I said, since the quality of league doesn't matter, let's invite the highest goal scorer at Indian league ( A nigerian) to SE

temi1290:
Paid what??,dude is posting better stats than all the players you mentioned including Osimehn this season.

at what league again? Remember a nigerian is the top scorer at Indian League

robosky02:
Then change the game to suit him


With two wingers

we cannot change our style for someone scoring at belgium league. If na la liga, we for understand

watching Anderlecth vs genk at the moment

and all i can see is that Onuachu cannot play alone up front. He looks clueless and lost whenever he is played as a lone striker. I believe that has been his issue in the super eagles.

I don't know why this genk coach decided to play him alone up front today, but it is definitely not working out.. He is this type of one-two player... He can't hold the ball at all, so he thrives when he has someone to quickly pass the ball to, he moves into good space, gets the ball back and scores. His finishing is actually top notch.

The coach had to bring in Cyriel dessers late in the second half, to assist him up front.

I believe a combo of Paul Onuachu and Victor Osimhen should do the trick in the super eagles... Victor could be the key to unlocking the beastly form of Paul Onuachu in the super eagles. We can't have such a deadly finisher and leave him to rot, just because he can't play alone up front.

Paul must have paid you guys to keep promoting him here. As long as SE doesn't have good crossers, then Paul is pointless for SE. We need to try another striker in the absence of osimehn i.e maja, kayode and iheancho. Paul has gotten numerous chances and hasn't impressed

As long as SE doesn't have traditional Wingers in the form of Finidi that can crosses the ball, Paul Onuachu will be inefficient for Super eagles. We either have to find good crossers or search for another replacement for Osimehn. Iheancho seem comfortable playing 2nd fiddle to vardy

#throwbacktuesday one of the most devastating pieces of wing play by any nigerian wideman. TJ really tormented the SA back line 20 years ago


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O382hxJSqGw

the best ever Nigeria team at a nation's cup. We had 4 African player of the year on that team. Kanu, Ikpeba, Amunike lol how didn't we win this tournament is beyond me. Ikpeba penalty against cameroun was a clear goal

Odunayaw:
If this one too likes he should begin to do the Tammy whine for Nigeria as he's picking up again

they said he need 1 more signature. But, if he keep impressing Southgate might call him just to spite nigeria from using him. If rohr like, let him play this one as a left back na ein consign

Honestly, as much as SE doesn't have great crosses for Paul, i feel like he hasn't done enough to even criticize rohr for his misfiring. Nigerians aren't just disappointed at paul "Lack of goals" but his all-round performance has been disappointing. The guy lacks confidence in SE, he doesn't create chances for his teammate, losing the ball immediately he gets it even heading ability for SE is non-existent. I am sorry but I cannot blame rohr for all these things. Some players like nwakaeme, onyekuru didn't even get as much chances as Paul before kicked to the curb

lloydtruth:
Onuachu scores again, why can't he just replicate this form in the Super Eagles?

you need good crosses for him to function. The way his going, he might end up like osimhen in 2 seasons (we wish) Remember osimehn only scored 20 goals at his belgian club for a season before signing for lille

JohnBullMySon:
which of the goals were his fault? he was the best defender

they are only saying this because his German bread. Akpoguma in 3 games hasn't even shown that he is better than Awaziem. (Being honest) sometimes, Nigerian born players don't get as much opportunities as foreign born players which make them play for a much lower club than their foreign born

Meliforme:
He is better.

well definitely not at RB.

Meliforme:
Make it

Balogun
Akpoguma
Ebuehi
Sanusi

Akpoguma hasn't even shown that he is better than awaziem, let alone Omeruo. He has been the worst among our defenders in the Last few games and you want him to walk in our 11 because he is german

Kog45:
I got your point and I can tell you that this is the reason why Rohr will never achieve anything with Nigeria team.

Pls go and watch our World cup and Afcon matches and tell me why Omeruo should be dropped.

Ekong is overrated in Super eagles and I can tell you that Ajayi is no where near Omeruo when we talk of eagles forget EPL .

If I have my way I want to see Balogun and Awaziem doing it.

Omeruo is an ANC winner, CC and 2 world cup Experience no way he should be dropped for Ekong. For now, omeruo and balogun are our best CB

What do people mean by he cannot drop this that blah blah. That sentimental nonsense must stop if not he will just lose his job. Akpoguma has sucked at RB for 3 games in a row. He needs to be tried at Cb or be dropped entirely. Ekong hasn't been impressive at Cb needs to be dropped. Musa is presently clubless needs to be dropped. Our players aren't world-class enough to be unchangeable and if the coach continue this sentimental selection na ein job be that

Olulong:
I wouldn't pick Bennecer over Ndidi definitely. Bennecer plays as a CM at least in the National Set up. Guiediora plays as the DM. So player for player it's Ndidi vs Guiediora and Bennecer vs Etebo/Aribo

you can compare any player to any player that's why we have a WPOY. Just pick who is overall better as an individual

BascoVanVeli:
Debate the points that I made and stop this Nigerian government style, deflection strategy. I'm I his girlfriend? Why must I like him before I tell the truth? I have broken everything down, if u want to argue against my points u are welcome.

your point makes absolutely no sense and it shouldn't be debated. How do you debate the fact that prior to 2018, we missed back to back Anc and we defeated 3 previous African Champions Cameroun, Algeria and Zambia to qualify for World cup 2018. No one can take that one away from Rohr.

chrisooblog:
i'm surprised you left out Morocco.

pound for pound Senegal, Morocco and Algeria are ahead of us. Ivory Coast is roughly on the same talent level as us with Mali and Ghana not far behind

Definitely untrue for Morocco and Algeria. Yes for Senegal. But algeria has the best thing. The exact reason why you can underestimate good coaching

Edopesin:
Hmm If both lists are up to date it means Nigeria do have more players in top teams and leagues than both Morocco and Algeria, Good to know

yes, that was never in doubt. But Senegal has more than us. You see how "Coaching" can make a difference from 3rd to 1st? Haha! It's kind of sad because rohr has actually met his contractual agreement and there's no guarantee that we can afford a world class coach

Olulong:
This's it basically

some of these things are arguably. For example, you can't say that Bennacer is 100% better than Ndidi. I think Senegal has the strongest pound for pound overall players on paper followed by nigeria buy team wise, Algeria is 1. Coaching is very paramount in football

Olulong:
So if we what to beat are we not expected to beat the best??. Ivory Coast were better than us at the 2013 Afcon, didn't we beat them.

And the same Algeria you're talking about are weaker than they were(talent/player wise) when we beat them in 2016. Buh good coaching has made them a way better team than they were then.

Just to remind you they came into the AFCON ranked 68, 23 places below us in the FIFA Ranking.Fast forward to over a year they've beaten us twice and are now ranked above us that's what good coaching can do.

Their starting 11 that beat us had 3 players playing in the middle east, one in esperance, One at Nottingham Forest and another for relegated Italian side empoli. So on the basis of player quality going to that match we were balanced but we both know what they did to us.

You don't need messi and ronaldo to win AFCON. I'll say this anywhere we have a good enough squad to win the AFCON. We beat Ivory Coast with Mba,Oboabona,Relatively unknown Omeruo and Onazi. So all this they're better than us is just a flimsy excuse trying to justify an incompetent coach

Fact not feelings

damagnificentusb:
Amnesia!!! Francis uzoho was in remarkable form in his last two int'l games for niaja prior to his injury. He was the no1 of the national team. It will be unfair to him if he dropped. MADUKA HAS NOT DONE BETTER THAN UZOHO.

yes, he was even decent at the World cup. No way maduka will just be handed that 1 shirt except uzoho loses form

JohnBullMySon:
I've watched that before. So keeper should not be making saves again or what? Why is he a professional goalkeeper if he cannot make decent saves? It's just like saying that we should have lost 4-1 if we had no keeper.

I'm just saying that I don't think maduka will take that 1 spot from uzoho

JohnBullMySon:
Actually, Uzoho made no spectacular saves in that match, only about 2-3 decent saves. If I'm wrong, point out a spectacular save for me so I can remember.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1nUru_-P54

Rewatch the highlights and get back to me. BTW, even by your logic, 3 decent saves against Brazil can differentiate losing 4-1 to 1-1 check 7.14 (world class)

jihday:
How was he frustrated? He could and should have walked away after the WC but he didn't, don't forget that we lost at home to Congo you are just being emotional about keshi he was rightly fired. To the best of my knowledge the only local coach that have ever being treated unfairly was Amodu

yes Only Amount (Rip) was treated extremely Unfairly. To sack a coach twice After Qualifying you for World cup twice and delivering 2 Bronze medal with an OK team is just unpardonable. His country betrayed him and worse of all, he is late meaning decisions cannot be rectified. As for keshi (Rip big boss) failing to qualify us for ordinary Anc should get any Nigerian coached terminated. It is unimaginable

isan:
Well i don't see uzoho getting his shirt not like he's a world beater himself

go and rewatch That Brazil vs nigeria last game. The score could had ended 4 1 Brazil if not for uzoho

JohnBullMySon:
see my point here, we are using a few matches to judge Rohr and now excusing the many matches he performed well. In fact for the last four matches, I will say that we did badly in only two. That is the sierra Leone home game and the Algeria game. The problem was with the whole team, we felt that afcon qualifiers was a straight win throughout and we paid for that drop in team form.

nah, our problem with Rohr is the "Big games" can he make the right timely substation in games i.e vs Argentina (wc) Algeria (Anc) can he select his best 11 and Formation? Can he defeat the best team in Africa and be 1? Thats where people have doubts. Do you realize that Rohr indirectly concedes defeat or indirectly justify losses before big games when he keep alluding that "We're a young team" or "We're here to learn" before any big game. If rohr has to go, then a Proven WINNER comes come in but i.doubt nff has the money to hire a Proven wimner

JohnBullMySon:
it's not all the time that things happen like that. Germany and Spain are better than Belgium and Portugal in both squad and coach. Yet ranking says otherwise.

(Arguably) nothing is 100% but a world class coach can differentiate attaining 1st vs 3rd

isan:
Why are u guys mad maduka is now the number 1 ? He plays in higher league than the other goalkeeper and u guys during a argument you always back up your claim with uefa club ranking and use it to downgrade one player for another

point of correction, he was number 1 in uzoho absence through Injury. An inform and fit Uzoho over Okoye for me but nothing is permanent. They're both young talented goalies that should have a long Se career

JohnBullMySon:
I know, but go and look at Algeria and Senegal squad too. Tunisia as well. Leave those that have not come yet, those teams are also good too, apart from that 4-4 game and the lack luster Algeria game, we have played well.

Bro, pound for Pound, Algeria and Tunisia dosen't have a better pool of talented 11 than Us.
Most talented 11 pound for pound on paper in Africa

1) Senegal
2) Nigeria
3) Algeria/Ivory coast

Best team in Africa right now
1) Algeria
2) Senegal
3) Nigeria

A Good coach can make a huge difference from 3rd to 1st place
