onuachu has been winning titles in denmark for the past two years he just got called up this year, onyekuru, samuel kalu were ignored for a long time before their national team call ups so kayode's situation is not unique

those 4 goals are indicative of his current form which is poor the sooner he improves his club form the better.

forgiveness:
Kayode was never given a chance to prove himself despite the fact that he won Austrian Bundesliga player of the year and Austrain league top goalscorer of the year.

All those four goals talks can't change the fact that he was never given a chance.

excuses so you have never seen players score within 19 or 3 minutes?

let's even agree he wasn't given a chance he will sha use his club form to prove them wrong. 4 goals so far in two seasons is that impressive form? after signing for a 'better' club like man city when you were shining teeth that guardiola likes him (the same pep you don't rate o! lol ironic ) he went to girona couldn't score a single goal despite ample game abi the coaches too at girona and shaktar didn't give him a chance?

forgiveness:
Kayode only played 19 and 3 minutes as a striker. He was never given the chance to prove himself in the gwg.

it doesn't matter if you started or not if you are good you are good. how did iheanacho get his break in the man city? came on as a sub against crystal palace and scored the winning goal, aghahowa came on as a sub against morocco in the 2000 AFCON scored the winning goal so using starting games is a poor excuse.

kayode according to transfer market was played as a center forward in two matches so he played good minutes in his preferred position

sorry i don't get this your point whether they ever finished first/second half of their matches. they all had mixed fortunes when it came to game time so trying to say kayode had it worse is misleading

Kayode can still find his way back to the super eagles by posting impressive performances week in week out like ola aina did, like onuachu, like osimhen did, like chukwueze did not by making up excuses that he wasn't spoon fed opportunities like he's some toddler.

forgiveness:
Were they started or not?

Were they played in their preferred positions?

Did they ever finished first/second half of each games?

If yes, Kayode was NEVER given a chance to prove himself in the gwg. Fact

forgiveness you have come again which platter of gold were Nwaekeme, Simy, Osimhen and Onuacha given ahead of kayode?

Nwaekeme played one inconsequential match against algeria other times ass was permanently glued to bench. Simy played barely up to three matches in two of them was brought on in the last minutes against argentina and croatia at the world cup to perform magic. Osimhen has barely been in match day squads played only twice. while onuachu despite great club was ignored until recently so where is this golden platter you said they were given?

Kayode played 4 matches two as center forward according to transfer market so how was he not given a chance?

forgiveness:
He wasn't good enough yet stil ended up in bigger clubs. What a joke!

You can only fail to utilize your chance when given a chance but unfortunately Kayode was never given a chance to prove himself in the gwg the way Nwaekeme, Simy, Osimhen and Onuacha were given a chance on a platter of gold despite not achieving what Kayode has achieved in his career.

It is an open secret.

tbaba1234:
Nope, it is coming from the Turkish press not from blogs.

ok but how reliable are they? Let's just watch and see what happens

let's wait for bayern to confirm first. seems the onyekuru story is only coming from brila fm and nigerian related blogs. also asked a bayern fan in the foreign football section. he said nothing like that yet from bayern munich or bayern related websites.

all the same kudos to henry for doing well at gala to be able to generate this much interest

tbaba1234:
Onyekuru to join Bayern. It appears a deal has been agreed with Everton. Henry will be travelling to Germany to complete the move in the coming days.

ok thanks

raumdeuter:
Nothing on Bayern news or Bayern related websites is reporting the agreement. everything is from brila and nigerian related blogs

Pepe Sane, Werner are the hot topics Bayern is discussing now

hi Chief i know i asked you this question before but i'm reading reports that bayern and everton have reached an agreement for onyekuru. do you know if it's true?

raumdeuter:
There are many rumors linking Bayern to many attackers

Including Onyekuru, Nicolas Pepe, Callum Hudson Odoi

TheGoodJoe:
Guardiola.

very fraudulent man lol

ok

forgiveness:
In your imagination I am hurt but in reality I am not.

hmmm from your post it seems you are really hurt. sometimes you have to learn to let things go.

have a good day

forgiveness:
Which feel? It's fact.

The hypocrite will hype up wrath and cry not when they get binded says the Bible.

I am only telling him who he is. Nothing like pain. He should see himself in the mirror first.

so it's because you feel he called you a tribalist that's why you are pained ok your choice but remember what does the bible say you should pursue with all men?

forgiveness:
Because I don't have one iota of respect for tribalist who tags others with different opinion as tribalist.

The same fellow who defended Nwakalis invitation to the national team.

Was Nwakalis the best AMF in Europe as at the time they were called?

Dude, not all are daft.

but guy beyond play what is it between you and icon4s? all of us here have debated on issues sometimes we agree other times we don't but there is still for the most part mutual respect.

he argues his point, you argue yours it doesn't have to be personal.

even if for argument sake he doesn't rate Awoniyi how does that affect your life? abi is he the NFF president or Super Eagles coach who can influence player call ups?

i know you will argue you don't like bias and hypocrisy but how have you been able to prove that?

if his comments give you so much 'sifia' pains just jump pass. that's what i do sometimes when i see you or komekn posts

forgiveness:
Very mischievous fellow. Who believes Awoniyi should be there and not Osimhen?

The point is, you never saw any talent in the Awoniyis and co.

Rohr believes in calling the best but Nwakali got called to the national team. Not surprised anyway.

Humility017:
I think he has been invited before...probably on a standby list.
and also....he plied his football in the host country...that's a plus, he could possibly be the joker of the team

no be only joker Na Batman abeg let's just agree to disagree

Humility017:
how many matches has Awoniyi played for the super eagles?
how many goals has he scored?

i thought by now we should know that club football is different
from country football...
the fact that a player scores for his club at will does not mean he will do same for
his country...the Libya match was a perfect example that shows that the Lad will need so much time to settle down
in the super eagles and that time we don't have now as afcon approaches.... we need players with major experience
when it comes to playing africa oppositions..

take it from me...if i was the coach...i will swiftly replace nacho with ajayi...
Dude play his football in egypt he understands the terrain, some of his team
mates will be playing for the egyptian come when the tourney starts, He would
have likely be he joker of the team and for awoniyi dude is not that clinical or prolific
compared to the invited strikers

using your argument has Junior played for the national team before that he got listed on the standby list? Your club form get you an invite and on that basis taiwo deserves it.

he's definitely better than ajayi who is on the stand by list. on merit he deserves to be there in place of iheanacho

Icon4s:
Suggest one of the CFs Rohr ought to have snubbed to accommodate him.

i personally feel awoniyi is worthy of an invite but i won't stand logic on it's head to defend my opinion

Icon4s:
Bros, your Lunch is on me.

And to make it bad ''Awoniyi fronters'' are already attaching tribal coloration to it all.

The National Team is for all Nigerians. Any player that deserves an invite will be invited.

just checked again it's all competitions 3 league goals one in the cup

andrew444:
That's only league goals

He scored some in the cup games

correction 4 goals in All! competitions so far over 2 seasons

andrew444:
I am not saying he kayode is bad but this forgiveness ranting is 2 much

4 league goals in almost 2 season and he will not let us hear word

that is his motus operandi once he gets cornered introduce an unrelated issue or name to muddle up the argument.

trick is always keep him stuck to the main point and leave him to confuse himself with unnecessary additions

andrew444:
I told him Bt he is trying to twist things as usual

The only 2 players that are not average are Ndidi and mikel

He should tell me where did I mention iheanacho ?

andrew444:
So taison and Fred are strikers that they must score many goals ?

Fred and taison are midfielders oga ,if dey like make dem no score many goals ,Malcom is a winger okay and William Jose is a striker ,your lies 2 much you think you can just tell me nonsense and I will believe ? You are comparing midfielders to striker ,a striker need to score goals to make a team and not midfielders

Kayode has played only 9 league games this season and score 1 goal is that a good stats ? So na only 9 league games shaktar don play this season for league ?

Lol no sane coach will drop a player from shaktar for lesser league even if the player is not scoring goals ? You are very funny

Wetin consign me and danish league ? Do you have a beef with onuachu because he plays there ?

How many players from Belgium league dey make Belgium national team as talent full there ?

If Croatia keeper is from there and so what ?

4 goals over 2 seasons yet he will not let us hear word

all of them plus awoniyi are average until further notice cest fini

forgiveness:
Yes! Iheanacho, Success, Yahaya and Nwakali are world class but Awoniyi is average. I see.

Who are 'your' players?

284 out of a possible 630 minutes of game time yes you are right he 'played regularly' lol

forgiveness:
Who is talking about last season? I am talking about last season.

Your opinion about me is trash as far as I am concern.

Now, answer me. Why did Brazil coach picked Taison and Fred who scored 7 and 3 goals respectively for Sharktar Donetsk ahead of Williams Jose and Malcolm who scored 14 and 12 goals respectively in the La Liga and Ligue 1?

No sane coach will drop a player in a Sharktar Donetsk for lesser club even if you play in a top league.

Around 20 players from the Belgium pro. League made the world cup for different countries.

How many players from the Danish league made their teams?

Croatia goalkeeper is from where?

Kayode played regularly based on this stats below. I don't know where you got yours from.

lol

andrew444:
Person wey never know wetin him to answer you ,person dey search the internet for answers and look for a 2 sided way ,just cool down e go answer you

lol please check out the post in this twitter handle https://twitter.com/maumauzdaughter

the worst that can happen is if he underperforms he will be benched and our midfield puts out the same performance. on the other hand if mikel shines the team does well

darkelf:
I hope you guys don't complain when Mikel under performs. I see it happening

ah well we will just gba kamu. no be here we dey when the late stephen keshi drop ike uche come carry pesin wey score 3 goals all season go world cup? eye don see plenty things

elyte89:
Meanwhile for those clamouring for nacho to b dropped,don't b surprised if he makes d final twenty three man list ,

i'm not surprised by the list matches the names i was expecting. glad to see odogwu he would definitely make our midfield infinitely better from a creative and control standpoint. iheanacho is there solely on past exploits nothing more i expect him to be dropped when the the final 23 man list gets out.

my thoughts on the list :-

coaches should have done better as regards the list of goalkeepers. should have given more home based keepers a chance to showcase their skills i'm certain one would have shown more promise than uzoho, ezenwa or akpeyi. anyway what is done is done just try and make the best of a poor situation.

defence is pretty solid long time that we had a squad with this strength in depth and quality especially regarding our centre backs. expect one of awaziem or ajayi to be dropped.

midfield is now abit more solid with the addition of Mikel. i understand peoples concern with the lack of options with our midfield but the cold truth is we don't have too many outstanding midfielders. nwakali brothers haven't improved on their earlier promise, ifeanyi matthew is just there, ebere eze still learning the craft, others like ofoborh still in the youth setup. that said it's my sincere belief that with mikel's addition the midfield should be able to match up against the best in africa.

attack is really good. in my opinion for the first time since the 1994 squad we have an incredible set of talented and fearsome wingers.musa and ighalo's experience should complement the youthful vigour of onuachu and osimhen.

this squad is definitely better than the 2013 set that won the AFCON but unfortunately they will be facing more formidable opposition. my personal expectation is for them to attempt to win the AFCON. i think with good tactical coaching and luck it can be done. i know a lot people have doubts about rohr's tactical acumen but one can only hope they succeed and support the team.

on a related i think awoniyi was hard done by. he has had a good season far better than iheanacho yet he's not even good enough to be on standby!? no that's not fair. and please let's not use the olympic qualifier against libya as an excuse to say he's not ready cos even samuel chukwueze that was drafted to face the libyans in the second leg had an average game yet samu is going to AFCON while taiwo is stuck at home. this is not the best

as for iheanacho issue is straightforward really. he's currently not good enough and should be eventually dropped national team is not a rehabilitation centre.

wish the team all the best.

LET'S GO SUPER EAGLES!

Oasis007:
The List!

option A looks tasty on paper but would like to see them in action in a friendly to see how it works

Danielnino00:
Which is your preferred midfield combo for the AFCON?

A- DM- Ndidi

CM- Mikel

AM- Iwobi



B- DM- Ndidi

CM- Etebo

AM- Mikel


C- DM- Ndidi

CM- Etebo

AM- Mikel



CC: all distinguished members of the thread!!

true most modern top sides emphasize passing but still think teams like athletico madrid and definitely man u can do with his services

Earthquake2:
The top teams don't need to defend most of the time, that's when your passing capabilities are asked of you

i agree with the rest except for ndidi and chukwueze little bit.

sam can still improve with better coaching

as for Ndidi dude is a defensive midfield machine it's not his job to be creative. he should just continue to be great at shielding defences and breaking up play

darkelf:
None. Man of them have so obvious weaknesses that is antithetical to their progress as footballers.

Ndidi: Creativity and passing

Sam chukwueze: Finishing get K-leg

Iwobi: Too lackadaisical

Eking: One dimensional thinker, parochial play

Onuachu: just starting to get noticed

Moses: Attitude problem

men i'm just checking ndidi's stats in comparison to other top 6 defensive midfielders how this guy is not being raved about is really surprising. defensively he completely eclipses most of them. even in the attacking stats for a DM he's up there. just his passing needs more work 79.85% completion rate which is not bad for a decent midfielder but the good to great ones are doing 82% plus on average
