Calling Tijani at this time just puts unnecessary pressure to "achieve" quickly on the boy's small shoulders.

List

forgiveness:


Attack, defence and goalkeeper selections are spot on but how can the coach not consider Azeez?

He has started using sentiment to call players to the national team. Tijani and Onyeka ahead of Azeez?

Make I just dey look.

jihday:
Alright NFF vice-president Seyi Akinwunmi

AIG07:
For the very first time, I am happy with pappi Rohr... His squad selection for the friendly game is spot on. We missed an opportunity in March and other FIFA windows that were closed due to the pandemic to assess new additions to the team... Excusing Akpeyi and Ezenwa is the best decision in a long while. This isn't because those called up are better than them, but our need to find the 3rd GK thumps anyother thing.

The newly invitees must count themselves lucky. There may no other room/time for such experimentation till the world cup. Except such prospective individuals are immensely exceptional.

Lets see what Okoye, Alampasu, Ejuke, Dessers, Tijani, Zaidu all have to offer. I hope they grab this opportunity.

TheSuperNerd:
Ejuke made the list just as I said long time ago.

Tobias withdrew just as I first dropped here.

Zaidu made the list just as I also said.

Matthew Yakubu made the list just as I predicted after telling you all that Tobias has withdrawn.

Ebuehi also made it but on standby. I did say Rohr mentioned his likely return.

Then I also said the German-Nigerians are indeed coming but again it is subject to the actual status of their Switch process/Nigerian Passport sorting.

So there is no cruise to catch. I was spot on. You guys should learn to give due credits please.

The fact that some of you don't drop "exclusives" doesn't mean you should sound so condescending of those who do drop exclusives. Danke.

Etebo is a CM in case you forgot..

And Iheanacho isn't living on past glory...Most of the invitees are there based on their performance last season... The new season is still fresh..
Iheanacho performed quite well last season,so he deserves to be there...

lloydtruth:
I have a feeling that after the matches against Ivory coast and Tunisia, players like Saka and Eze will make their national team decision known.

solonnachi:


I didn't see Kingsley Ehizibue? Hope it's well? Or has the boy changed his mind?

Started? Hasn't he always been sentimental to you? No matter who he selects or doesn't?

Yh etebo is a CMF but he has been playing as a DMF most times for Nigeria
Nigeria only had a Good CMF in aribo see his crazy runs to the box ....why would rohr drop azzez the dude had an assist in last match against Lesotho
His overall performance was still good.... Why tijani or frank over azzez A danish player over LA Liga player. Thats really unfair.
Back to nacho...nacho had a good season 2019/2020 he scored 10 goals and made 4 assists in 1000+ minutes but that doesn't reduce anything from maja who had 8 goals and 3 assists with 800+ minutes he had a good Goal per minute ratio than nacho and also remember he has stamped his feet for Bordeaux this season when nacho is busy sitting on the bench.

Nigeria-eligible striker Ike Ugbo celebrated his birthday with a goal as Cercle Brugge earned a 3-0 win over Sint-Truiden in their First Division A game at the Jan Breydelstadion on Monday evening, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Chelsea-owned player who turned 22 today drew a foul from defender Samy Mmaee in the 30th minute before dusting himself to beat Kenny Steppe from the spot, thus doubling his side's lead in the process.

With 52 minutes on the clock, he came close to adding a second but saw his speculative left-footed shot hit the upright after he received a pass from Kevin Hoggas.

Dino Hotić had earlier opened the scoring for the hosts while Vitinho added a late third to put the game to bed.

Ugbo netted on his top-flight debut in a 3-2 away win at Mechelen on August 22 but was unable to find the net in his next two games against KV Kortrijk and RSC Anderlecht.

A prolific scorer at youth level for Chelsea, the striker has been farmed out on loan to Barnsley, Milton Keynes Dons, Scunthorpe United and Roda JC to gain first team experience.

Cercle Brugge are back in action on Sunday when they face last season's Champions, Club Brugge.

List

komekn:


KC has done NOTHING to justify inclusion 5 goals last in the EPL is mediocre.

However , what enables him is that apart from Victor and Ighalo, none of our strikers have hit high notes. We really lack quality competition in the striking department and are very very thin.

If a player like Ighalo or Osimhen gets too many yellows or an injury, then we are literally finished.

The list is not ambitious and all that bureaucratic complication in attaining FIFA clearance is just excuses. There has always been politics in the NFF and that will never end.

And if anyone thinks that Rohr is the only one deciding who gets on the list, you are delusional.

The midfield lacks invention and creativity apart from Iwobi, where will the creativity come from.

Seeing Ejuke looks promising.

The rest are thier on merit, past glories and there newbies apart from Ejuke I'm not sure.
