1 game can be deceitful.
Iheanacho is going through a massive slump in confidence, it takes more than just a game to erase that. Yes he might have a stellar performance that makes you think all is back to normal, but that doubt he now has in his ability will still creep in over the next couple of games.

It will take a string of consistently good performances to completely erase any such doubts. So yes, Rohr is absolutely right to drop him. And you would see this too if you weren't so blinded by your "love" for the boy.

where did you keep this your energy preworld cup when forgiveness was fighting for Kayode's inclusion, using the same logic most people used to tag forgiveness a tribalist I think I can safely call everybody fighting for Iheanacho's inclusion tribalist. the argument for his inclusion no even make sense, see players like Eleke, Awoniyi, Odey and that one-cap player that used to play in Israel but now in Turkey they all had fine seasons but nobody has even said a word about them but our fellow forumites wants their darling iheanacho with 1 epl goal to be involved, una wicked and don't want the best for Nigeria

Why don't u talk about that beautiful pass Musa gave KC in the first half..All he had to do was to tap in..That tap in could have gotten him an AFCON spot today!
But alas his heavy touch happened..


U are really hell bent not to admit that ur boy has regressed....

Icon79:
I totally 100% agree with you, bro. I am not one to second guess a coach on selection decision because I am of the opinion that a coach understands his team better than we the fans; however, I think that Rohr tends to put too much stock on how often the players are playing (or not playing) for their euro club sides. I don't totally agree with that because we've seen players who set the euro leagues on fire but turned out to be flops in green and white. Similarly, we've seen players who weren't having good seasons at their football clubs but still get it done when they put on the green and white.


O pari

which system you like to dey shout sef, only mediocre players can't thrive in any system, because I'm sure no matter the tactics a coach uses he'll always have plan for goals. Suarez in Barça, beast Suarez in Uruguay beast. Giroud in fluid system good player Giroud as point man/police football beast. I can go on and on naming strikers who thrive in any system they find themselves. only an average/below average striker need plenty services to shine

If Nacho was to be selected, who then was supposed to have been dropped?
I just don't understand some peeps on this forum.
If it is forgiveness now, they will start calling him tribalist.
Nacho doesn't deserve to have been called up in the first place.

Strive on goals and power play, see how u differentiate them as though that is the two yardstick to be a striker.

Yakubu aiyegbeni, Emmanuel emenike and rashidi yekini had both qualities.
It's just so bad that the quality of striker we have in this Era and KC just wanna drop the standard below what we have again.

I tayya for our ppu ,as if nacho na one superstar, or had a fantastic season

A goal in 30 games as a striker


Last scored for eagles was in Nov 2017(against Argentina in a friendly)...dts almost 2years as a striker

Am sure if it was ighalo dt has dis stat as a striker,we no go hear word if he was invited in d preliminary list

Truly,deres double standard on dis thread, I do take it as a joke b4,now its becoming glaring,

Marjoribanks:
Though I admire our Girls however I don't see them holding France.
2nil or 3-1 in favour of France.
But they will give France a good game cos they have nothing to fear now..
Against the Koreans, they were a little afraid but after the goal they came out and played some really good football.

chrisooblog:
yes I agree sadly they will lose the match I'm just hoping we can keep it down to a low score and hope results elsewhere are in our favour

edi287:
I heard Osimhen was meant to be dropped and only made the squad because of Ighalo's injury concerns.

Marjoribanks:

Exactly, I am just hoping other results will favour us.
I don't know why they always put us in tough groups? Eehhnn

That is what I am saying. Rohr already had his mind made up and his team selection ready. With giving Nacho game time and him pulling a good performance would have created confusion.

Playing Balogun took place because Rohr already made up his mind to take him to Egypt. If Balogun was not on the list and he pulled the kind of performance he did that night, tongues would have wagged.

Finito.
