That dude is a gift to Nigerian football. He's fast becoming a legend in Jay Jay and Kanu's class.

He's improves a lot despite leaving Chelsea for China. Capable of scoring goals unlike before, takes on defenders when you don't expect. The backbone of the team

forgiveness:


Solanke is a more complete player than Iheanacho. You can take that to the bank.

simon is good defending but the only draw back is his tendencies to go wide and try dribbling opponents which could lead to him losing the ball.

forgiveness:



should in case he is dropped from the world cup list without been capped, he is good as gone. The same thing played out during Fashanu's era when the coach refused to cap him eventhought he was always on the bench. he was frustrated and dished us for England.

I hope Rohr doesn't give chance for the devil to work.

There are too many Ifs in your hypothesis.

It's impossible to make response that doesn't end up being nonsensical.

Okocha na Iwobi's Uncle. Iwobi father na Aina's papa pali. na d guarantee be dat.

And if the March window for Seychelles is given up for the World Cup bound teams to prepare as proposed by Pinnick then, our other window is the world cup and if he's not chosen then it's dicey. Your points on this issue are spot on. It was an oversight not to have capped him that night in Constantine.

forgiveness:


Abeg, leave Joe alone. One day em go tell him love say, if you want to marry me, marry me but if you want another sugar bobi, you have my blessings. Chai!

Na dat day we go know say d goodjoe fit turn badjoe. Chai!

Oh Mikel slow!that's Mikel game right from U 17, nobody can change that,at what age,his game is cool now cos he always drew opponents to himself that gives other players opportunity to run into space for his passes and is working for the team,check most of our goals then you appreciate his slowness.

Goke7:


I think with ebuehi's performance against Argentina, he will definitely be called up again and with another good showing, he is on the plane to russia. we don't have too many options on the RB and so ebuehi's chances are very high

Humility017:

sentiment aside...elderson is a no starter in the SE colors for now....Idowu and either of ebuehi or aina should be drafted to assist him there....
and deji should be called up to just train with the super eagles at least to prepare him for the future...Qatar 2022.

TheGoodJoe:


Majority of the players who qualified the team should be kept. Only players who are better than the current crop should be added. Introducing too many new players had its negative effects in our 2002 and 2014 campaigns. The team should also be a good mix of youth and experience as we hope to achieve a balanced transition in the team even beyond Russia 2018. The best players should be selected devoid of favoritism.

I do not agree with this point because restricting the selection throw a mix of experience and youth, or majority of those who qualified, tarnishes the last line of the paragraph.

We need the very best in every role. Those willing to play for us.

The problem with the last teams is not the introduction of new players but not fielding our best. It has been a reoccurring problem in the Super Eagles.

Humility017:

a bottle of wine for this comment bro...

he so much rates the super eagles low that he laments here...for championship players to be called to the super eagles....

whereas he can't spill such empty words whenever he talk of 3lions......

what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander...

if those championship players are not good enough for the 3 lions then they're obviously not good enough for the super eagles......

Is Lukaku English yet he is accorded unquestionable respect and accolades as possibly the best striker in the premiership.

Was Drogba English but he is regarded as a legend in the EPL and in Chelsea.

Thierry Henry is not English he even has a statue in his honor at Highbury.

Is Ngolo Kante English voted best player in the EPL by his fellow professionals.

Was JJay Oyibo but they never stop talking about him in the EPL. Was Kanu, Yakubu English or shall we talk of Gabriel, Sana, or Mane & Salah at Liverpool came from the Moon.

Mahrez that Leicester refused to sell is he not Algerian voted best African player in the EPL.

You may need like to be woken up very abruptly from your delusion, KC has not performed in the EPL that's why he is not even in the top 20. Since he left Manchester city his rating has dived. He needs to start performing at Leicester the good thing he is still performing for the SE but in the SE it's a different matter.

As it stands Tammy and Solanke are ahead of him and if they were in the SE there is no guarantee he would have displaced them.

Mujtahida:
My brothers, I just watched the match again for the third time. See, I know we've hammered this issue before but forget it:this FB have added their own uniqueness to our game which is sharpness. The Nigerian guys bring the flair and African rhythm.

Iwobi's passing is deadly, very deadly.
Abeg, all those who say Iheanacho has no speed have been unfair to him. Dude has good pace. Not blistering as goodjoe would say but very good pace.

Ogu played as the LMF and brought a lot of balance in the midfield with his tackling, aerial clearances and passes. We really need Joel Obi who is left footed. Our strength lies too much on the right hand side and it's not good enough. We must develop the left side of our game.

Apart from his goals Idowu didn't add much to the attack but he shut down Pavon unlike Ebuehi who was moving back and forth with Di Maria inside his pocket. I doubt if he can keep up the energy that such hardwork requires for 90 minutes.

Finally here's a piece from the commentator after Iwobi scored the fourth goal.
Iwobiiiiiiiii, through the legs of Mascherano - what an outstanding goal that is. He's got a second and Nigeria got a fourth. What a touch of genius from the Arsenal many. Astonishing scoreline, from two goals down now it's four two. Ahmed Musa with the pass and look at this from Iwobi, nutmegging Mascherano and firing high up into the net. Outstanding individual goal

Humility017:

what are you saying oga goodjoe...
rohr messed up a little...
why not cap this guy in one of the competitive matches...even against Cameroon first leg match when we already won leading by 4 goals to nil...

MetalJigsaw:
I know but as far as FIfA is concerned, there is nothing like Central America because there are only two WC qualifying outlet in America: CONCACAF and CONMEBOL so both Peru and Costarica probably qualified from the same outlet so they can't be in the same group unless one from CONCACAF and the other from CONMEBOL, that North and South America. understand

SerVik:

Haha.. See set up na, an English media outlet ranking SE as the 7th strongest team heading to the world Cup, ahead of England?

Can't be arsed though, this is all just a ploy to take away the underdog tag from us, everyteam will face us with the utmost level of seriousness now.

Mujtahida:

There's no contradiction. We have our best in the team already. We are looking at adding more best in a way that maintains stability and cohesiveness.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not see it as a messed up decision because if Ebuehi wants to play for us, he will wait and get capped. I hope he does want to represent us.

junnyjake:


I'm not sure you added one of Goldfish's point, that one about camping in Russia early.

TheGoodJoe:


Actually, I dated a lovely and pretty lady who came to me and told me she wanted to leave me for another guy. I kissed her forehead and gave her my blessings. "I hope he does make you happy." Then I left her house.

Months later, she called me asking why despite of my deep love for her, I did not fight to keep her. My reply was simple. "I wanted someone who wants to stay with me with all her heart. Not someone I will fight to keep her love."

forgiveness:


Thegoodjoe baba, I throway salute ooo.

Em but em. Sorry, to say dis, you don't love her as Christ love the church and gave his life. Gbam!

Make dat girl run throway for you else, em go regret.

Anyway, we love Ebuehi and we must demonstrate that love to him, which in turn will be reciprocated by him after he perceives.

TheGoodJoe:

TheGoodJoe:


Christ love for us is not boyfriend and girlfriend love. Who loves a girl like Jesus Christ loves us? Lol. Do not break my ribs with laugh. The kind of love you are talking about is Sister in the Lord love.

Mujtahida:

You have not said anything about Rohr's coaching ooo. Let's hear from you my Bro.

Mujtahida:

How did you reach such conclusions? Have you asked him, have you read any report saying he's comfortable, do you know the details of his contract with Leicester? Haba! How can you so confidently say such things.
Recently I read him saying that the Hull City Coach Slutsky with whom he has a very good relationship from their time in Russia wants him at Hull City but that the only snag for him is that Hull City is a Championship club. He ended by saying everything is still under consideration.

So how did you reach that bolded. Smh

Icon4s:


That is why we need that AFCON qualifiers game against Seychelles. We start Ebuehi and Idowu and they are capped for life.

After that Seychelles game there is no other full international debut opportunity before the world cup.

Pinnick should go and withdraw his proposal to CAF.
