Shebi you will open your mouth waaa that no one should be dropped for anyone ,now you don prefer lookman

Moses Simon is also a consistent player for your info

I’m not talking of Ghana game but in the long run

andrewbaba44:
Another excuse for Nwakali to be in the team ,it’s well

He was impressive at the nations cup in my opinion and the team is also lacking solid attacking midfielders

JohnBullMySon:
Inasmuch as you're right. I don't think good for us to become too rational in a way that takes away our humanity. For the fact that he represented the country and was part of something great, at least they have a moral obligation to help him out. That state is just too bad for someone like that. At least he can made a mini mart owner and make decent earnings.

I’m not even trying to be insensitive but an unknown street hustler deserves more assistance than an “ex footballer” except that ex footballer was owed salaries in arrears. What did you use your football career ending to do? Anyway, I am a Christian that believes in forgiveness sha

Joebie:
how many minutes onyeka don play for SE..
Abi he don become guaranteed starter?

You guys just like getting a response. It’s almost like if, people intentionally post that provoke others and enact reactions from forumers. In an all important game vs your arch rival, you think it’s wise to select an unproven inexperienced player and invite pressure on him?? We must select all our proven inform players vs Ghana and after the Ghana’s game, there will be chances to test other players. Too many meth and sniper drinking analysts on this platform

Since the nations cup concluded, ekong hasn’t featured for his club side and is probably lacking “match fitness” nonetheless, I expect him to be invited for Ghana game considering that he is vice captain. If Eguavoen invites Ekong despite not playing since ANC concluded, I expect nwakali to also be invited. I was very impressed with nwakali cameo at the ANC and we’re lacking players with his skillset at the super eagles

komekn:
No they will wait for two years and when he has blown up and other nations show interest we will sau he turned down our offers.

The reality is that in the HERE and NOW he is better than Omeruo. But we will hold on to the past and not progress.

You guys just like complaining. Bassey was previously invited and he would most likely be invited in the upcoming future. There’s no need to complain . Also, he plays in a much higher ranked league than omeruo

komekn:
And you head is twisted upside down.

He is not a center forward so that comparison fails, iys not like for like.

Ejuke is not better than him and may never be better than him.

Someone that’s worth 2.5 Million pounds currently (transfermarket) . I think you’re mistaken “prime Dede” vs “present Dede” the present Dede is a mere shadow of prime Dede and he plays at a retirement league. On current form, ejuke is a much higher rated, talented and better than the present dede

Despite Moses Simon impressive performance at the afcon, I actually prefer lookman at the Lw position because of consistency and it will be a joy seeing who will own that LW position in the long run

codemaniacs:
Maduka Okoye benefitted from charitable invitation and that skyrocketed his career..

Some Nigerian players careers will only skyrocket when they play for the S.E.

Yes he did and we were made to pay for it vs Tunisia. He is young and might end up becoming a legend but there are heavy cons do this charitable invitations

charlesemeka85:
mind you I never advocated for him to replace any of the more experienced heads we hv already in the cb position but said he will be a good cover as well as understudy to the veterans

Playing in Scotland is not that bad especially when one is playing week in week out for one of the traditional clubs not only in Scottish football but Britain as well.

He is already attracting scouts from the epl and serie A which implies he is doing well for himself and has the chances of metamorphosing into a dreaded cb in the future

I agree on his career trajectory being upward but I was responding to the individual that insisted on him starting the next game vs Ghana

charlesemeka85:
so we have to wait for him to make the big leap to a bigger league before he will be considered good enough for the super eagles?

For your info he is already scouted by Westham and their is possibilities he will make the move in the summer with other epl teams interested. For his age and judging by where he joined rangers from (Leicester’s 2nd team) he has made a lot of progress already with more to come going forward

He has to play at a bigger league and be better in order to replace the players already at a bigger league. If you want to replace ekong or akpoguma at the big 5, sign for a big 5 team let’s access your performance

daveP:
i don't mind if he starts against Ghana IMO. He's really in form of his life right now.

You must be drinking meth or the popular drink Sniper to make such suggestions. A talented inexperienced player as a starter in an all important game vs your arch rival

andrewbaba44:
Koulibally,mentor wey no pass last World Cup group stage

That’s a collective failure. On paper, koulibaly is the best African CB that I have seen in the last 20 years even better than Kolo toure

codemaniacs:
He needs to be at least on the bench against Ghana...

Same way Dessers, Amoo, Samuel Adegbenro should have been at the AFCON at least on the bench.

At the expense of who? Remember, a team can only invite 11, 23 or 28 man squad. Dessers, yes but the remaining absolutely No. let them perform at a better league before thinking of the super eagles. Super eagles is a place for the absolute best - No exceptions. We’re not here to do charitable invitation

charlesemeka85:
koulibaly started from Belgium for moving to Napoli and becoming a household name

There is still possibilities that those I mention may turn out to star in bigger leagues and clubs in Europe judging by the case that they re still young and emerging talents especially bassey and ozonwafor

Yes, until then, we can only hope they become world class. The level of a player club is very important in measuring his capabilities as a player. For example, as bad as ekong is being criticized playing at the Epl, if you put him at the Scottish, psl or Belgium league, he would be one of the best players at those leagues. Let bassey come to a big 3 in order to access his ability

charlesemeka85:
With the likes of

Bassey
Ndah
Ozonwafor
Awaziem

Or cb position is covered for the future

They’re all at backwater league sha. If we intend on winning a World Cup, we need our best players at the best league in the world playing week in and out. Koulibaly could be their mentor. What about akpoguma? He is playing at the bundesliga

codemaniacs:
Bassey needs to at least be on the bench .. he is not for the future he is for now and today..

If someone like you had seen Mes:si or c.ronaldo or Pele you'll have said his one for the future and their talent will go to waste..

Yes I agree but not against Ghana except injuries. We need certified proven and tested vs Ghana and there’s absolutely no case for experimentation

charlesemeka85:
bassey deserves to be in the super eagles team currently even as a cover for any of balogun,ekong or the left back position

Dude is a beast in the making and in no distant time will head to a much bigger league

I will prefer him to play as a left CB than a Lb. he is now competing with the likes of balogun, ekong, omeruo for a position

drDoom3:
Aribo played like an elite KDB today. Two assists, he was behind every Rangers attack.

Bassey is head and shoulders above every CB we have. Pace, strength, awareness, positioning, good on the ball. He has everything needed.

After qualification, we really need to give bassey a chance at a friendly game because in the long run, I prefer him to even ekong and balogun. We just can’t use him in an all important game vs Ghana

Ighalo just scored 2 goals only a madman will suggest that such an experienced player isn’t good enough for the super eagles

Osimehn needs to improve of his tactical awareness. Dude keep standing straight and positioning himself on an offside position

komekn:
Don't be conceited that will lead to failure.

Which of our players is better than Andre Ayew , he is very versatile.

Not sure to call him Winger, AM, or SS.

Your head is not correct. On current form, is ayew even better than Ejuke? Let alone the likes of osimehn, dennis, iheanacho

TFLASHOGEE:
he isn't talking about Onuachu him self subtracting from his age but the club's adding to his age due to not totally believing player's from Africa using their original age even thou it isn't every player that does age cheating

“ onuachu is almost 28 and I know they must have added 7 years to his age.”



That’s what he wrote and Nigerians are fond of writing such unverified comments towards their team and it has to stop

maidaboi:
Ok with a bit more research it looks like the main issue was
that his contract runs out in June and Huesca were trying to
sell him to another club (Burgos) in the league for some
money, but since he didn't return in time that deal fell
through and regardless he will leave as a free agent.

Copied

I think that’s part of the issue and not the only issue. He allegedly returned late from Afcon and the club are punishing him for such unprofessionalism. As for nwakali, idk what else to say to him. Eguavoen tried to resuscitate your career and you displayed such unprofessionalism towards your club knowing that your invitation is also contingent on “club time” I hope that he can get out of this because it will be sad if he doesn’t

Danielnino00:
So you will invite Onuachu just to come and try and nod some hopeful cross into the net?

Knowing how to score from headers isn't always about height.. Jota is one of the best header of the ball in the premier league today and he is among the shortest players in Liverpool..It's all about good positioning and having a good crosser at the other end... Our wingers are poor at crossing because it isn't their style.. Chukwueze is a left footed right winger.. His right foot is weak..he can't cross!! Simon is also a right footed left winger..he likes to cut in and dribble.. Ejuke likewise...
We aren't in the era of Findi, Babangida and Pius Ikedia abeg..

I will invite onuachu because he brings a different skillset to the team that can be utilized in case plan A doesn’t work. For example, if the Ghanaians decide to park the bus (high possibility) and our wingers becomes ineffective, onuachu heading abilities becomes useful. Na to tell dem say, “a child wey say ein mama no go sleep, ein sef no go sleep” Also, just because you’re an inverted winger shouldn’t affect your ability to cross. Ultimately, you’re still a winger and perfect crossing should be your first responsibility as a winger. Finidi George was a skillful dribbler but it didn’t affect his football intelligence or adequate crosses. Infact, our only goal vs denmark at the 1998 World Cup was a left side crossing by Finidi

zuchyblink:
Onuachu's problem is his age. Nigeria is known for age manipulation. Onuachu is almost 28 and I know they must have added 7 years to his age. Tell me one Nigeria player born in Nigeria that made a big money switch at 27.

Let’s be mindful of how we accuse our players of age falsification because such unverified accusations could be long lasting and dismissive of a player career. You don’t have any evidence of him adding “7 years” to his career, why are you writing such Lies on a public platform knowing how uzoho career trajectory ended because of similar accusations? Anyway, in modern football that we have the likes of ibra and Ronaldo excelling at 40, 37 respectively, 27 is a young age

komekn:
Once again l reiterate, you don't come to the SE to learn it's too short a time sequence. If you dont know how to cross the ball instinctively with precision in your club and league week in week out. Then you are not going to learn that in the SE.

You pick players because of what they can do here and now,proven and tested by their consistent top level performances in club and league.

I agree that super eagles should be a place of the best. But, our wingers should practice crosses at their club side and follow through at the SE

PetroDolla2020:
The problem with you nigerians is that you like to boast too much. You guys forget that football is played on the field, not with mouth

Every single time Nigeria is playing Ghana, Nigerians will come out talking big and boasting. But almost every time Ghana had won How many times have Eguavoen won as a coach against Ghana? Was he not the coach when the Black Stars beat Super Eagles 4-1?

Even your goalie trainer Agu or whatever his name is, had his tooth broken during a crucial game at the Kumasi stadium during his playing days. He never found that tooth till today.

As a Ghanaian, I am not losing any sleep over the game with Nigeria. Ghana will win at Cape Coast and get a draw at Abuja. Case closed

I disagree sir. During your golden generation 2007 - 14 the era of micheal essien, muntari, appiah, KPB and gyan, your team were much talented than us and I admitted such. Also, I am not saying that it’s a guarantee that we would defeat your team. I am only saying that on current team, 1 v 1 our bench is even more talented than your first 11. It’s up to our coach to do his part because like the Tunisians shown, talent isn’t enough to win a game. One needs Adequate planning, tactics, formation and good luck on their side

Danielnino00:
Please make una dead this "our wingers need to cross" talk..
Modern day wingers are moving away from the era of cross and inshallah..Most wingers these days play as inverted wingers.. Leave the crossing job for the fullbacks..In most teams, it's the fullbacks that cross..
If our wingers should resort to crossing the ball all the time, the striker will be isolated unless we are playing a two man striking formation

Guy, it should be a possibility simply because opponents has realized how to defeat us. They simply pack the bus and hope for a fortuitous goal and game over. Our wingers and full backs should practice crossing incase our opponents decide to “pack the bus” this is where “Paul onuachu” becomes important. I will invite him for the Ghana game

Subzero47:
Wetin dem no train them for club you can't give what you don't have, I found that a way to curb selfishness in wingers is to play them in their natural side i.e (a right footed player plays on the right side of the pitch) that way they have no option than to cross

Bro, I feel like they’re inverted wingers that cut in and out but crossing should be practiced. Basically, if Plan A isn’t working, Eguavoen should act quickly and switch positions. In the olden times, a winger first attribute is to learn how to cross the ball and if a winger cannot cross adequately, he should practice

I believe that Ogbeche (Indian league present top scorer) should be given a chance at our team.
Me: at the expense of who’s position?
Them: I didn’t say that he should be invited at the expense of anyone position

This is our people make foolish suggestions and don’t want any repercussions

PetroDolla2020:
Why will Ghana “pack the bus” against Nigeria? Ghana is beating Nigeria in March. Get that into your head, huh?

On paper, our 2nd team is even more talented than the present Ghanaian squad but football isn’t one on paper. I expect the Ghanaians to use similar tactics that the Tunisians and Car used to defeat us but I hope Eguavoen can be very alert and tactical
