Joebie:
I need to watch this Tim guy first.

Getting them early increases our talent pool. Doesn’t guarantee they will eventually come good.

villagereporter:
.


Why then do you want a bench warmer in the SE, sir? With no stats and playing time?

chrisooblog:
Quality helps but a top coach will always get the best out of players. Reminds me of what Herve Renard achieved with Zambia in 2012.

yinkeys:

We don’t have decent options
Frank is not a natural 4, box to box
Onyedika is not a world class 4

elyte89:



I even want to c dis alhassan yussuf guy…Thesupernerd really rate dis dude so high. 😀

komekn:


Nobody talking about Fisayo Dele-Bashiru ,with current player's available he should have been on the list.

Alhassan is not on Fisayo level.

charlesemeka85:
pairing him with who?🥱

Amedino99:
they play the same position?

komekn:

komekn:


First of all none of our midfielders will get on that bench as it stands., to sit next to Tim Iroegbunam.

When Arsenal captain Odegaard was warming bench permanently at Real Madrid, Arsenal paid £30 million for him, he signed on the 27th January 2021, and then three days later he came on against Manchester United.The rest they say is history.

There are benches and there are benches that are almost a badge of honour.

How many first team EPL games had Iwobi played before getting into the SE ❓, I will tell you ZERO

humility33:


You see why I always say you don't know football?

The coach replaced a DM with a DM and here you're mentioning Fisayo who plays upfront in the midfield and you're evening berating Alhassan not to be on his level

komekn:


I really don't use YouTube videos to assess a player, but it can be indicative of a players style, attributes and make up. So it gives some insights not absolute conclusions on quality.

Put him in the Portuguese league he will be like Pogba and run riot IMO.

Danielnino00:


Komekn doesn't hesitate to hide his bias and it's really irritating..

He used to be a known hater of the Turkish league, calling it a retirement league, but suddenly, a Turkish league player is better than a Belgian league player because say na innit boy

Danielnino00:


You too dey hype rubbish..
So Iwobi, Onyeka, Aribo and Ndidi can't make that Aston Villa midfield, not even the bench?
Thanks to Emery, Aston Villa are looking good this season, but they are still not far from being a mid table team like the ones the core of our midfielders player in..

By your standard and logic, Tim shouldnt be in the conversation for super eagles call up.. he is a bench warmer and also the least paid player in his club...EOD!

humility33:


You get am
The way he pass his judgement on players is baffling

If the player is an innit boy or plays in epl and accrue huge wage to him that's the best player

Dude does not even go in details to talk on players qualities and what he brings to the team.

Imagine even using Fisayo to diss a Defensive Midfielder? Who does that?

They don't play same role and moreover Alhassan replaced a DM that is like for like replacement

This year na me and am for this thread

Daninya33:
If Jpes has listed a 27 man squad with Alhassan Yusuf and Nwakali listed,
With the injuries of Ndidi and Iheanancho, Players like Daga,Moffi,Dele Bashiru would have been given a look in.

Frank Onyeka seems set to play alongside Iwobi in midfield.

If Nigeria does well,it will boil down to the brilliance of the players and not Jpes tactical acumen and brilliance.
Jpes with his outdated 4-4-2 formation

I don't have any expectation for the SE.

If they do well, fine
If they don't,it is expected

NFF is our major problem.

I will rather have Jpes fail to get to the semi finals and then gets fired
Than hay him get to the semifinals and then fails to get us to the world cup.

We don't need such a coach coaching the Super Eagles...

femianski:

He still had a way to slot in Nwakali like we won't notice

Daninya33:


Dude is a great player. He is nicknamed, " Nigeria Kante"

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that bros sometimes dey type like say na only for England dem dey play football

No be this same Tim wey I watch playing for QPR last season? To be honest the boy has potentials but not a super eagles material yet. Also capping him for future purposes isn’t a bad idea

If he is too good as komekn is trying to force us to believe Villa won’t be insisting on selling him after rejecting few loan proposals from championship clubs especially from QPR where the boy played last season

Villa will sell him possibly this Jan window

Danielnino00:


I'm very sure there are dozens of players like Tim scattered across Europe.. Players who get some opportunities for their club senior teams once in a while, but aren't established players . I don't think we should be targeting such players.. we should be looking at the ones who have found stability in decent clubs and leagues.

komekn:

Alhassan is not on Fisayo level.

comodo:

A DM was injured and you want him to be replaced with an AM Question you should ask coach is why he picked only 5MF when he can go with 6 or 7. Fisayo will be an option if either Iwobi or Aribo is ruled out.

jihday:
it was like this going to 2013 Afcon , got worse after we drew capeverde who many people have never seen play football in pretournament friendly

Provoker:
Daka has gone to afcon already. iheanacho has been injured since. Ndidi is actually injured

charlesemeka85:
I thought Michael Olise will be in the Algerian afcon team after all the panic and frustration that he is about switching to the desert warriors

ChrisKels:



Ndidi wasn't there in our last two matches and the mugu that called himself our coach still kept Onyedika on the bench while playing Iwobi as a DM. What a joke this man is.
