Which Etebo is injured. Dude sat his ass out on the bench 3 out 7 times he featured and you're here defending him.

I am not defending etebo, i am being sincere and i support all players, i dont try to diss anyone

Etebo and ebere eze are not playing the same position, the earlier you know the better for you

timay:
True

that is why a lot of EPL clubs are more comfortable buying players from the championship, cos it's more like home away from home, as the players don't struggle to adapt to the EPL

Lol

Are you serious?

Even arsenal wenger will rather take a player from ligue 2 than the world class championship players

DrKlever:
This is very laughable. Ebere Eze has better defensive stats than Etebo in the championship. Take a peep at Whoscored bro. He has more takles, more interception, more aerial duels won and less foul committed even though he has played more games than Etebo

Okay, once rohr calls him then he should replace etebo pairing ndidi

komekn:
I have said that the Championship is the most competitive and financially buoyant 2nd tier league in the world.

Top strikers in the Championship can cost in excess of £30 million. This is something the mid to bottom section of the top 10 leagues in Europe will struggle with.

It's not uncommon for Championship sides to beat EPL sides in the FA cup.

So because sheffield beat arsenal you don begin talk long thing?

Didnt Granada beat barcelona?

Didnt real mallorca beat madrid?


Lol which top strikers will cost 30million in the championship?

Why wont championship side sell costly to epl? when they see how others league scam epl teams in selling a player


Yes i might give the championship the best second division but not for footballing reasons because those teams there are not that good, maybe the league is more organized and the fan base

Take a look at how hoffienham scammed newcastle by selling joelinton for 40 million euros for someone who scored just 7 goals in 29 bundesliga appearances , i can bet that osimhen is better than this player, lol

Oga make we hear word abeg

BascoVanVeli:
So una want to turn Etebo into Onazi bah? I remember the talk, Onazi is too harsh, bla bla bla. Las Las Ndidi made rash mistakes and everybody looked the other way.

no mind them

DrKlever:
I never said he is not making match day squad, i meant ALL which means his appearances are still low. Ebere Eze has 12 appearances with 6 goals and 2 assists plus injury which made him miss some. A fit Etebo has 7 appearances(3 as Sub) with zero goal(s) and zero assist(s). His rabbit chasing skills and nitro burning should have helped him win matches for lowly stoke nau.

You want someone that is playing deeper to have goals and assist? how do you watch your own football?

Its just like you wanting a javi martinez to have more goals and assists than a coutinho in the bayern team

BascoVanVeli:
Who told you Etebo is not making the match squad?

Many people no no anything for here

DrKlever:
You don't win matches by chasing rabits on pitch it is done by technicality, determination and skills. Go and check the stats of both players and come back to argue with me. Etebo is in lowly Stoke city and can't even make all match day squad, yet you're comparing him with another who kept pulling MOM performances. Wake up sir!

Lol etebo doesnt make match day squad in stoke?

If you dont see him there he is either injured, stop saying what you dont know bro, joe allen and etebo are always the first players on stoke list

Stoke are doing badly, but dont make it look like QPR is a big club, i am not supporting anyone but we should be sincere at time with the way we judge

And hope you know stoke city finished ahead of QPR last season?

DrKlever:
Stop being ridiculous with your posts. Does Etebo have half the creativity of Ebere Eze?

This comparison is not necessary

Does etebo play the same position with eze?

Now let me get back at you, does eze have 1 percent of etebo defensive abilities?

charlesemeka85:
So because of Eze and ejaria's emergence we should discard etebo? What was Eze and ejaria's rating in championship last season?

Etebo may not be the best but he is still needed in the super eagles. I have not been a fan of his but if not for anything his work rate and energy have been beneficial to the team so far

The same etebo was our best player at the last world cup and among the best at the afcon.

Agreed

tbaba1234:
Ebere Eze is the closest thing we have had to an Okocha since he retired.

I just hope he will be on rohr next list

charlesemeka85:
tottenham preparing January bid for eberechi eze

This is good news ,but I don’t want this Tottenham move January because am sure he won’t start ,giovanni lo celso will be back from injury soon

BascoVanVeli:
Not only is Daniel Akpeyi most qualified, he has been on a top run of form lately. I love his newly discovered me against the world attitude and I really feel he has way more to offer the national team.

Winning over kaizer chiefs fans like he has done is not a small task. This situation reminds me a bit of ighalo after the world cup. He maintained top performances and was given a chance at redemption which he took.

Dude has gotten 2 man of the match performance so far

seankafor:
aforebear oya job don land

Afobear dey carry block for site

At least there is no Iwobi to blame and insult for arsenal lost

They won’t just let the guy be ,even as he has joined Everton some confused ones here still do attack him

somehow:
He was shaky but saved most of the balls that came his way. He had one of the best stats at the nations cup.
Do I want him back? NO, if we have a better option
But Okoye can't be a replacement for now. I believe we have better options. Because we took the risk with Uzohor and it paid off does not mean we should throw caution to the wind. At least Uzohor was playing competitive football when he was called off, we saw the progression and he has actually moved to first-choice position playing main league football. The same can't be said of Okoye. He's young, more reason he needs more time not in the SE. If the records bad stats in the SE now, he won't get any look in the future. WE DON'T FORGIVE!

Agreed with all what you said and yes okoye can’t be a replacement for now

somehow:
Awful because he was beaten by a freekick or what

No bro

I defended akpeyi through out the afcon, uzoho issa better goal keeper and played just the 3rd place match

Forget the free kick akpeyi was always shaky and lack confidence, i told most of them here that so many goal keepers wont save that mahrez free kick, so am not judging by the freekick

Branzy:
What can you guys say about this

Wetin salah don play for football wey de put am there?

I know salah has been consistent but i will only put him on this list if he keeps up for the next 4 seasons

Eartquake1:
When you drop a player it should be for a horrible performance and the replacement should be a better and more performing player

Akpeyi was dropped for a 4th division 2nd goalkeeper

I perfectly understand Rohr thinking but it would be a blunder to go back to Akpeyi

Its not a blunder to bring back any dropped player, its normal in football

Players have been dropped from national teams for years and being called back, let alone someone who was dropped after afcon that is not even up to 6 months

I would not want akpeyi back because he is shaky, not any other reason

Why dem no go call 4th division keeper, when nigerians sabi worship oyinbo

Eartquake1:
He was not awful, he conceeded a last minute free kick and that was it

My point is, as he was dropped unceremoniously and without explanation there is no use going back to him

He was shaky thou before that game self

He was dropped as others players are being dropped, no big deal bro

Players are do dropped from national teams for 3 years and being called back, akpeyi case issa normal case

So make dem give akpeyi explanation before dem go drop am abi

Normal level broda

Eartquake1:
Awful? How many goals did he conceed?

Was he replaced by a better or more experienced keeper?

Despite naija doing well in the afcon ,we all know akpeyi was awful oo, yes he helped us to the semi final, but me and you know say akpeyi na shaky shaky daddy

Hope you know uzoho is not that bad sha, my best bet for now will be ezenwa, i just hope he is not a bench warmer in that nigeria league because i no dey follow the league

I cant stand a 4th division guy being our 1st gk

mostob:
I disagree sir, there should be at least one decent goalkeeper in NPFL. he should deputize for ezenwa.

Agreed

Ezenwa will be my first choice then someone from NPFL

The 4th division guy should complete it 3 goal keepers

Eartquake1:
Going back to Akpeyi after dumping him without explanation

Being dropped from the national team doesnt meant you are dumped forever , they do drop players from list

Why will akpeyi be given an explanation when he was awful during the afcon?

But still on still i dont buy this akpeyi idea

Periodt

OyiboPep:
It's only in Nairaland that hate exists.
See the way Startboy Fest brought Nigerians of different backgrounds both the legit and runaway Nigerians.

Meanwhile, Wizkid turned the Headies to a secondary school Prize Giving Day that they were looking for Pastor Wilson to make the "Headies" great again.

But see the kind bad gang that Iwobi is going out with.

Lol

The secondary school prize giving day got me laughing

You are right thou

I dont really follow much about the efcc but to what i have seen the fight is only against internet fraudsters which is a one sided fight , and you expect Nigeria to be a better place when they cant do anything about the politician

Anyway its none of my business

Danielnino00:
@ ur first paragraph. .U are indirectly saying Aina should be ahead of Collins at LB..I don't disagree with that... But were u not the same person who said Aina was played out of position during the pre world cup friendlies? U gave that as an excuse for his exclusion from the team...Suddenly u are seeing him as a left back?

because collins is involved

komekn:
For me Collins is a non starter has nothing to offer, defensively poor and offensively non existent. How can he be battling Aina for position they are not on the same level at all.

Awaziem has done very well but he is not a RB and is not good enough. Defensively intelligent but lacks pace and offensive ability.

CB's more competition needed agreed with that.

As much as we clamour for Eze, Ovie has been outstanding for struggling Reading.

What is dissapointing is we have only one bona-fide performing striker in Osimhen. Ighalo has retired and there is literally no real competition for him.

Onuachu and Olayinka offer options but one dimensional and thier quality is open to question.

In the past we have always had about 2/3 quality strikers competing. Not sure what's happened.

You have a point

But you need to take it easy on collins and awaziem, expecially collins, you dont just like collins, collins has done well so far for your information

But ovie has not been better than eze thou, even thou he have been outstanding

do4luv14:
point of correction bro he is the one who will lose mot us

any abroad player of mixed parents who thinks he is bigger than the SE is decieving himself period

Thank you, its he who will loose and not us

BascoVanVeli:
U don't remember because we didn't even qualify for the world cup that year while he won it with England. How can u say he was waiting for a call when he was with England at the time?

lol

charlesemeka85:
HMMM ojo better than chukwueze?

Who said that? The person deserve to be lynched lol

You no need ask who talk am

You already know

iSlayer:
Weep well well. That one concern you and their fans.

Na you wey dey celebrate draw
