In my formation,Mikel plays 4(diffensive midfield) to shield the back four,or play central midfielf role,link between the midfield and attack.

I just listed four midfielders,I did not positioned them,but if u really want to know how i positioned them,check the numbers as I listed them serially,u can see that Mikel either plays 4 or 10,check again before u start laughing.
The wingers are Imoh and Aminu.

However,I'll try and modify the list,n bring Mikel in between because of others like u.

I know u have problems with Mikel,but his contributions won us AFON trophy and we love him for that. Always be ready to defend yourself from Mikel's fans whenever u make any offensive remark about him

I do have a problem with mikel I feel he isn't justifiable in that team selection I would rather we field an onazi or ndidi than mikel I just feel the only thing Siasia is taking him to the Olympics is because he's my boy syndrome !!!

Napoleon55:

Lol this your formation is quite very bad lol see the midfield mikel Wan turn winger

tbaba1234:
Awoniyi and Dimgba dropped...

Siasia finally realised that Dimgba had nothing to offer..

Bros is this news confirmed

AIG07:
I had to read through all 8last pages(298-305) of d thread. But I found out that, issues relating to the super eagles is d most discussed, while d Olympics is in few days time.

it seems u guys have left the Super EAGLES THREAD in Hibernating mode. Make our superposters help revive d thread.

I just tire boss them dun carry super eagles come this thread, na so one time dem dey argue taiwo and babayaro ... dem dun enter Salisu and Ranieri before we know they go enter another one !!!

Abeg has anyone seen our NPFL squad that is going to Spain can u guyz compare with out u23 and see why I say sia sia is sentimental ??

samueld0:
Awoniyi on standby. eeyah i pity this guy

Lol the dude is very lucky to still be in camp u say u pity am !!!

tbaba1234:
I understand the condition by Genk. Ndidi is a super regular at Genk. Why miss him for part of the season if he is going to sit on the bench?

At least, playing regularly will increase his value and keep him fit..

Siasia dint want to include Ndidi let him stop deceiving himself !!!

lakesidepapa:
Pls give us the critical reason, orelse Ur wife will come for you

Lol na she know I never marry let mikel stay na !!!

Mickael2:
I thought Popoola is an Amf? So you want to play 2 Amfs in a 4-3-3? It's destined to fail. And we both know Mikel will start so it won't even happen.

Your 4-2-3-1 looks more tactical, ofcourse with Mikel in place of Shehu

MIKEL should please stay st his club !!!

Mickael2:
If you ask me,then Siasia has done nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing, he has just been a victim of bad circumstances. The first time, our qualification had already been messed up, he came and if not for some school boy errors and misses we would have qualified(you really need to watch that Guinea game again). Under Siasia we outplayed our opponents hands down, we beat Argentina, and even when they got their starts together, it was a howler by Mikel that and Aiyenugba that cost us the game. For me right now, Siasia is the best local coach we have, maybe soon Amunike will join, but we saw what happened to Manu, so I maintain that Siasia will be the best local coach on a long term plan.

Bad circumstance

Here's the list ...

Goalkeepers: Daniel Akpeyi, Emmanuel Daniel

Defenders: Muenfah Sincere, Kingsley Madu, Abdullahi Shehu, Saturday Erimuya, William Ekong, Ndifreke Udo, Stanley Amuzie

Midfielders: Oghenekaro Etebo, John Obi Mikel, Popoola Saliu, Okechukwu Azubuike, Usman Muhammed

Forwards: Aminu Umar, Imoh Ezekiel, Oluwafemi Ajayi, Sadiq Umar....

Awoniyi dint make the list and also Godwin Saviour .. Am surprised mikel obi made the list .... seems Umeruo would be heading to beskistas he won't be able to make the team ...obanor wasn't also picked he might be on stand by !!! I think this list is better !!!

I dunno about Saturday Erimuya and udo I hope they are justified !!! Seems we would be playing a 4-3-3 !!!


Attack looks exciting


E. Daniel

Shehu .... Ekong ..... Saturday ..... Madu


......... Azubuike...... Etebo......Papoolo


......... Aminu ..... Sadiq ....... Imoh


We can also play 4-2-3-1


Daniel

....... Seth Ekong Saturday Amuzie


... ....Shehu .. ....Azubuike

........ Aminu .. Etebo........ imoh

..... Ajayi/ Sadiq

It seems sia one head is getting there .... now it's a bit promising !!!

safarigirl:
shouting Mikel is useless upandan doesn't make him useless, it makes you a noisemaker. You tell us why you think so with facts and stats or you stop disturbing us with prophecies of doom.

And for the love of God! Can you use punctuation marks so we can make sense of your post?

And as for my attitude, kindly read my signature for further clarification on what I think of your opinion

I am not going to drag this ish with you especially ... v

safarigirl:
as useless as you are on this thread

You are now insulting me someone was saying about your attitude couple of days ago I guess they areally right I think I have the right to feel a player conclusion into the team is justified or not and am certain mikel isn't going to do anything tangible in the squad ...

Yes that is not the original list .... Thank God !!!

safarigirl:
bros abeg stop insulting Mikel and 19-year old Awoniyi, kini?

It's okay to not like certain players, but downplaying their impact to justify your dislike is an amateur move. Saying Mikel is useless just exposes your lack of football knowledge

Mikel in this Olympic is useless !!!

TheGoodJoe:


Blunt but incoherent.

I asked Natural wingers you said it is better we have Strikers on the wings than Natural wingers who can not play.

First, In matches, having players of different qualities help in strategy. Players like Imoh and Aminu have their reasons why they attack, not play as wingers.

There are times you need wingers who can deal with the pressure that comes with winging.

When you play a striker on the wing, most times, there games are direct. They more of head towards goal than down the line to cross.

They strikers are not natural crossers and do not have the preciseness to give passes from the wings to unlock the defence of opponents.

Sometimes, when something is not working, a coach changes strategy. With players of different quality, the coach has options to revert to different style of play. With a team based on Natural attackers only, we will only play directly.

I wonder why Awoniyi popped into the talk. I asked natural wingers. If Simon Moses and Victor Moses were coming, I will not have problem with dropping Godwin. Without these guys, there is a problem.

As for Mikel, my point is not just about experience but bringing balance to the midfield. We have no player who can bring this on the squad. So talking of Babatunde is totally off point.

We need a disciplined player to pivot and control the midfield and Mikel is our best option.

You're sounding like Hilary Clinton Mikel Is our best bet under what circumstances who mikel play ball pass for the team he play azubuike or etebo or even shehu ...

sia sia is just giving mikel because he dint go the last olympic finish ... abeg stop all these ish !!! Bring balance SMH the only balance he needs his steady balance in staying at his club so people like Papoolo have the chance to feature for Nigeria !!!

Let's sia sia be fooling himself with mikel ... the work mikel is doing in that team Abdulahi Shehu and usman Mohammed can do it even ifeanyI Matthew can do it.. mikel is just like awoniyi couldnt leave to his potential ...

Napoleon55:
No matter how hard u may try,with proof and evidence,,to convince people to accept certain facts,u won't succeed,some peoples minds are biased against certain players. If u remove Mikel from that team,they will be beaten black n blue.

So u say with mikel on that team they won't be beaten black and blue ... like as if when Argentina beat us and France mikel was not part of the players that where in d team mikel isn't an impact player you should put mikel in a game that u are winning and you want to stabilize or slow down mikel can never affect the result whether we loose or win ... it's not that mikel will cover more ground than etebo mikel shouldn't be invited for that tournament he just wants to spoil someone's future which I guess is Papoolo ... mikel should stay in his club let them not release him abeg !!!

TheGoodJoe:

You are happy no Godwin? So, in that list, how many natural wingers do we have that are better than Godwin?

It's better we don't have natural wingers than natural wingers who cannot play a full game for their club side aminu / imoh may not be natural wingers but am certain they are better than awoniyi and saviour put together ..

Lastly mikel can keep his bags of experience to himself we don't want experience we want result we don't want people who would hold on to the ball unnecessarily you saw Osaze at the Olympic in Beijing scoring goals that is the experience we need nor be experience we go chop na result !! Am sorry am blunt !!!

TheGoodJoe:
“John Obi can be one of the key figures,” Guus Hiddink explained.

“He can recover, he knows the league and the game very well. He knows where the strengths of the opponents are and how to cope with that. He has a very good eye and sense and he is very elegant. It is beautiful to see.

“He doesn’t lose many balls. I don’t expect and ask for decisive final passes, even though he can.

"He played very well but also in previous games. He is the ideal player in my opinion to bring balance to the team.

“If you see the previous time Chelsea conceded a lot of goals. If the team is not willing to defend well or not have the right balance then you’ll concede them.”

forgiveness:
Shey na my eyes no see well abi na wetin? E bi like say I no see Madu for that list.

Siasia don't want competition for his boys I am very happy Godwin dint make the list am surprised that Papoolo dint make the list ... for awoniyi I hope he's the stand by player he should go and look for a club abeg he has lost it even AjayI should go and find something ...

joseph1013:
LOL. I hope we do our best to qualify from the group.

Qualify from the group and then get eliminated by brazil are we sure we can qualify from that group I don't think so !!!

TheGoodJoe:


I am also surprised Godwin Saviour did not make the list. Since he was part of the team for long and creating chances has not been the team's problem.

I expected Coach Siasia to do something about the team's finishing but it is definitely the same strike force. Maybe Coach Siasia feels Sadiq Umar can salvage the goal drought.

Thank God Godwin Saviour dint make the list even awoniyi shouldn't be on that list with AjayI too ....

TheGoodJoe:

Sad that at the end, we would not get to see Popoola at the Olympics. Wish the young man Goodluck and the best in his future.

We would have taken Papoolo to the Olympic instead of mikel obi let Chelsea not release him abeg !!! Chelsea will do us a very good favour if they can hold him up and say they are no longer releasing him ... for Umeruo we need him with troost but for mikel hell No Papoolo is 10 times a better player ....

tbaba1234:
Even when we complain, it is because we want the team to do well. Maybe Mikel and etebo will improve the side but as it stands, the results and performances are discouraging.

Mikel cannot improve any team even I'd it's enyimba mikel is not impact player he is already old ... instead of mikel I would a prefer a micheal babtunde people can take on players and can cause surprises mikel is not capable of causing surprises he has no reason to be there he is just taking of us featuring musa yahaya or batunde or even ifeanyi Matthew ... who takes mikel and expect and impact imoh Ezekiel or nwaka li will more impact than I can swear with my life for that I disagree on this one mikel is a waste of space .... let them take Papoolo instead if mikel ...

BascoVanVeli:
I am relaxed and i still feel mistakes can happen, u don't always win by being the best. I for one am with these guys till the end. I will give them what i have always given any man or woman that i have ever witnessed play for Nigeria and that is support, u don't get to pick when to be a fan it is through good and bad. I don't hope they lose infact i hope they prove me wrong like they did in Senegal, i don't see why not it's not like anyone else besides Neymar is going to be there.

Really have monitored this team and I will tell u I know exactly what am saying ... first of all are these the best boys we could feature for this tournament Siasia and my boys excuses it is what happened to Manu Garba at new zealand u20 it's d same thing that would happened to Siasia when instead of playing yahaya or ihenacho he decided to play soKari and we know what happened one cannot take a knife to a gun fight and guess what Germany got eliminated by Mali the same Mali we beat to qualify for the tournament ... instead of playing sucess he played awoniyi guess what sucess is breaking club transfer while awoniyi is finding difficult to net Charleston battery ...

We have better strikers am not saying Siasia should eliminate his team that won him the ticket all am saying make sure there is competition in the team when last did AjayI and awoniyi score ... our strikers are impotent in front of goals during the u23 afcon our goals came from the midfield why is mikel obi even invited Is he going to up the game or destroy it instead of mikel why not go for ifeanyi Mathew we have musa yahaya am certain the club would have released him 100% we have Chisom Chikatara ... the NPFL all star team that we are taking to Spain for the pre-season friendly is even stronger than this ... Godwin saviour is just like Wilshere dint play 90 mins this whole season yet he's guaranteed a shirt !!! Even without our foreign pros this isn't our best players so u know d pool of talent we have In this nation we want people to compete for shirts ...



Godwin Obaje
Chidozie Awaziem
Nuru Abdulahi
C.Nwobodo
M.Yahaya
M.babtunde -> M.obi ... I will take a babtunde micheal to a mikel obi any day any time I am surprised at Nigerian coaches we have lack of creativity in that team only etebo ... if we had yahaya and babtunde it would be better what does mikel do in that team that Abdulahi Shehu or usman Muhammed can't do ... I have a lot to say ... am patriotic but am been sincere !!! We cannot keep on waiting for miracles God helped us win the u23 afcon I don't think God is a Nigerian ...

Sia sia I just want him to be disgraced like this

Sweden 2 -0 Nigeria
Colombia 4-0 Nigeria
Japan 1-0 Nigeria

Siasia 0 - 1 NFA (final score line)

Nigeria 1 - 0 Charleston Battery ...

goal by amuzie... youtube video should be up in a bit ...

You guys should stick to our u23 which one is hype is he part of the squad sia one has submitted his 18 man list ...... finally we know our faith...

Abeg wetin babayaro and Taye taiwo dey find for this page make una create another thread for Nigeria past legends we dey talk of u23 dream team without dreams .... someone is still mentioning kayode you can't force talent no matter how hard working you are if u have a bit of talent with hard work u can improve aminu Umar and kayode where at the same u20 with musa where is Kayode !!! U people should forget about him we may also start asking where is Stanley okoro or chrisantus ??

Abeg any new boys in camp since Simon is out we hope these guys show up our defense is in disarray... this Olympic is now rubbish club blocking players up and down na WA ooo ... it isn't even competitive again ....

Let's pray their club releases them

Mikel
Troost Ekong
Umeruo
Musa M
Madu
Umar
Ighalo (not sure we need him to be sincere Ighalo is just another sia sia boy he brought him 2005 to u20 in Egypt Ighalo cannot play upfront alone that is something I hate about him so if Ighalo is there they would likely switch to a 4-4-2 formation instead of a 4-5-1 ... he just has experience and a good first half last season after that he's been anywhere and no where I will prefer onazi to mikel on that list and it seems Victor Moses may make d list aftermath if he isn't going to feature for Chelsea ...

If we can get all those players I mentioned that is if sia one dont start those his stupidity....


MDF

Papoolo / Mikel
Azubuike
Etebor
Saviour Godwin

Akpeyi

We have players that are better than those ones in camp what is all this rubbish chikatara is just posting pictures on IG and those wyadad fans are just insulting him like a fool !!!

goldfish80:
I hope he really gets his chance at Liverpool especially now that klop is talking about restructuring their academy.

Personally, I think he is too young to be called up. He's an academy player barely 18. We have a tough assignment in the world cup qualifiers. Its not child's play what we are going to face in Algiers, Yaounde and Lusaka. We should be going with our very best legs who can withstand and deliver under pressure.

Enyeama for me should be drafted back. Dudes like Kayode Olarenwaju for me is ripe for a call up. I don't know why he keeps getting neglected.

Come make unable stop this kayode rubbish u na dey mad u dey talk of world cup qualifiers u dey call kayode a beg stop am..

Who be all this one's a beg this na u23 team make unable nor dry argue about players when nobody know or when nor dry participate for the tournament self which one is muazam if he's not amongst the 35 or in camp he should go and kick stew ... who he help !! A beg let's discuss about dream team ...

I swear I hope they don't embarrass their selves in discussing tournament ... I thank God Ezekiel is in camp painful we can't get Simon Moses and ndidi .. sia sia for close eye carry oshimhen or chikatara where is etebo he die abi he faint we need Musa Muhammed and Sadiq if aminu Umar can join the team too he for good !!!

IMoh Ezekiel in camp already...
