Based on past glory theory some players should not be on the list.

Number one on the list is HENRY ONYEKURU. Zero goal, zero assist and *cough*that's it.

Number two on the list is KELECHI IHEANACHO... Zero goal, zero assist and 8 minutes of game time. Chisos!

While Ahmed Musa don score for the only match he played and Moses Simon has done nothing special as Henry though he has more game time than Onyekuru yet some people want them out just because of ONYEKURU.

Can Onyekuru play free kick better than Simon Moses? can Onyekuru play SS, RM, AM, LM & CF better than Moses Simon?

OK, Taiwo Awoniyi has scored 1 goal and assisted twice in 3 matches, why is he not mentioned or called? Is this not present glory?

Based on Rohr claims of lack of game time one player ought not to be in the team..

Kelechi Iheanacho......

Why did Rohr exclude Kayode Olanrewaju? Mafians ruling the national team as a cult. I guess.

I belive this thread is about the Super Eagles not about players who perform in better leagues. If he can do the buisness for us in a position we are handicapped who gives a hoot if he can perform in Portugal or Belgium.

What's this one saying bayi This is football oga, carry your religious view to the right section... You play well, you win. prayers and divine favour is none existent here bro. God ain't partial.

BascoVanVeli:


Iheanacho has not been playing because his club was working on a deal for him that could end up being worth 50 million pounds. With that information in hand u would have to be drunk to omit him.

chrisooblog:
personally I like onazi he brings a lotof passion and team bonding to the super eagles but his football has been poor of late. However I don't this his days in the national team are necessarily over. I feel a move to a better league and reinvention of his game will help him get back to his best form.

Moses Simon I don't think he's that bad I personally like everything about his game as a winger just needs to work on his decision making.

Musa yes he can be infuriating and is the one most likely to lose his place but I'm not completely ruling him out because sometimes when I think he is finished he pops up and does something special for the national team

Recent national team stats Nko? If we keep changing our team based on players most recent matches at club level, will we have a team?

forgiveness:



Hehehehe! You misunderstood me greatly.

BascoVanVeli:


This would be massive. It would definitely do a lot for the reputation of the Turkish league which some might erroneously call a semi retirement league. Alex would get certain playing time and basically have the chance to be "the man" on his own team. Although for some reason I don't believe this will be the only offer he gets, this might just be the opening of the flood gates.

forgiveness:



Yes! Rohr is drunk to have omitted Kayode Olanrewaju from the list because he gave the same reason for omitting him due to the deal that worth replacing Iheanacho with Kayode Olanrewaju. I hope with this information u would have been high on shepe or ogogoro to omit him. Bhuuuhahaha!

I did mention that Onazi should be a utility player. I like the guy honestly, he is the kind of guy everybody wants to have in a squad but not the first team. he can be a stopgap solution for a lot of positions although he may not be necessarily fantastic in any of the said positions but takeaway nothing from him, he can act as a pretty good impersonator there, like RB, LB, DMF and CMF but as a starter? based solely on present form, that would be a No No for me, like you said he can pick up his form again.

Moses Simon isn't all that bad but his decision making is bad, he always tends to cut outside instead of cutting inside and his crosses are just so poor, makes you wonder why he can't just reinvent his game as an inverted winger. no need crossing the ball when you know you can't cross, just cut in and try something different, alas he hasn't learnt that yet and he keeps on putting in awful crosses. now we have a pool of young wingers who can cut inside, cut outside and still put in a decent delivery so he needs to go back to the drawing board now, the bench isn't even supposed to be for him.

Ahmed Musa for me is just there. in almost all the big games he has played he has always bottled great chances. at the AFCON final in 2013, dude was clean through but somehow he fell down, I can't forget that scene ever, and Burkina Faso countered but thank God Enyeama was :/ top form and that was how we managed to hold on. against SA dude was missing one on one chances like they were long range shots. it was an eyesore, personally we may want to consider playing the guy as a LWB. just think about.....

Costa-Iheanacho/ Nwakaeme
Pedro-Kayode/ Onyekuru
Hazard-Victor Moses(obviously)
Alonso-Ahmed Musa/Etebo
VicMo-Aina/Ebuehi(include the other RBs here)
Matic-Mikel obviously/Iwobi as deputy or OGU
Kante-Ndidi for me/Onazi/Agu/Azubuike
Cahil-Ekong
Luiz-Ogu
Azpilicueta-Balogun

the problem is that we do not have a tactically astute coach who is willing to play these players in their natural positions

blueto:
that was what I said. Alampasu should make the squad ahead of Akpeyi if Enyeama and Ikeme are fit and included.

Joebie:
Ok u were being sarcastic

pyrex23:
my bad then

Joebie:
Natural positions again.. Lol

I have highlighted the proposition, I take the view that it is not erroneous to say the Turkish league is a semi retirement league.

I would say it is for top performing players, a last hurray !!! And the chance for one big pay out. Particularly for players looking to maximise thier income not playing ability. It is essentially the back door of European football with regards to the top leagues.

Your comments emanated somewhat but not entirely from the Nasri move from Man City. This is a player who is a shadow of his former self and can not cut it at the top level anymore. He is also 30 and had a unimpressive season at Sevilla last season on loan. And has taken the highest paying easy option Turkish football.

It is not the league for young players to go too if they intend to move upwards. Unless they are playing with the big clubs such as Galatasaray, Fenerbache, Besiktas moving up will be problematic. If you are thirty or assumed to be privately then you are going to stagnate thier.

Onazi was still miles better than Ndidi in the last game against South Africa hence the need to play him ahead of Ndidi and Agu. Azubuike is not as good as Raheem Lawal.


Simon Moses is a far better and complete player than Onyekuru. His crosses are meant for strikers with the ability on air and the ability to read matches. His crosses are not meant for Iheanacho who is only good with foot.

If he's not good enough, why is he still playing regularly for Gent?

If he's not good enough, why was he lading with the responsibilities of taking set pieces for his club last season?

5 goals and 7 assists from playing 4-5 different roles last season for his club is not a joke.

Why is Onyekuru not scoring goals since he joined a bigger club?

I want to presume you are not equating these players to thier world class counterparts. But using it highlight positional play and team structure.

In that regard I would have it differently, as follows ;

Costa- Ighalo, Nwaekeme ( KC finishings yes but does not have the hold up play. Heading ability or bullying characteristics)

Pedro-Kayode/ Onyekuru ( agreed)
Hazard - Etebo = Simon M. ( its a toss up between limited end product for Simon and more end product from Etebo. My choice Etebo.
Alonso-Ahmed
VicMo-Aina 1st choice.
Matic- Ndidi 1st choice
Kante- Onazi 1st choice or closest to Kante in terms of his attributes.
Luiz - Ogu Too slow, not Mobil enough and Ltd offensive attributes if any.
Cahill - Ekong no options it seems I would consider If possible Iorfa and Nedum.
Azpilicueta-Balogun don't think Balogun is RB, by any stretch. My choice Onyedinma Millwall. We seem to lack quality options.

First name on the team sheet for me is Mikel, but as AM. I am sorry but Mikel struggles to backtrack so limited defensive duties for him.

Structure 4-3-3

forgiveness:



Nwakeam scored 13 Goals last season in the Israeli league, the coach and his cronies has quickly included him on the list by excluding Kayode Olanrewaju who had scored the same numbers of goals in the said league 3 or 4 seasons ago (but conspicuously overlooked).

Last season, he was not included in the list despite the fact that he scored goals and assisted in the Europa league but was latter included after public outcry, and when he came, he was not played in some matches and introduced in the second half.

After winning the best player of the year and the highest goal scorer in the Austrian league Manchester City noticed him but our national team coach ignored him due to some advice from na my brother somebody.


My point is Israeli league has suddenly become the alfa and the omega, ba, because of NWAKEAM but when Kayode was there, it was an obscure league.

Who una dey deceive?

NWAKEAM is not better than what is on ground but we know na we we dey at play.

forgiveness:
If at the end of the day, some players are found in the 'backyard league' of Turkey's league but are still preferred ahead of players doing very well in the same league and even in a better league (Belgium pro league) then I know say sand sand don dey pass garri.


Personal interest don take over National interest be that. ;DYou don't test new players in this kind of match Bros ! It is a do or die battle and too risky to throw wanabie in

Some people don dey come chop dere vomit as dem don start to dey celebrate Turkish league because of dem bois


I just dey observe ooooooo.
