She actually has been outstanding for her team - being named Team captain, recently.
She also had a stint with Arsenal and was invited to the England youth set up.

Still not enough! Like I said, I do not expect much from her, but I'll let it go.

Give fatuga a chance , alozie don't even have a club yet she's one of best performers at the summer series

Alozie is with Houston dash in the NWSL... Before now she'd been invited, played in some of their friendlies.

Ebere Orji is too inconsistent.

Schemerkhiz:
Ogbonna is the available one right now that's why... I bet you once she come back fit from injury she would claim that spot..

George Plays Left/Right as far she's playing from the wing either as a Fullback, Wingback or a Winger...

Would be really nice to have her back... Ogbonna's been giving out too much headache.

AkinDS:
But her team is one of the 12 teams in the 2021-2022 WSL, the league just below the Super League.
Leicester (Ashleigh Plumptre's team) just got promoted from there to the WSL.
It will be competitive for Watford, which should be good competition for her.

How did they gain promotion? They seem to have been really poor...well...only then would I take her seriously.

Schemerkhiz:
I very much believe no matter how Biased a coach is he/she can't pick either of the Ogbonna's ahead of this Patricia George i know..

She seems to be really pacy. The way the coaches keep playing Ogbonna would make you think she's just the best in her position.

Schemerkhiz:
Laughing in Chinese, don't worry let's allow Randy Waldrum and his Coaches to decide..

For these reasons: Okobi has not improved since after her first world cup outing, Okobi is a bench warmer at her club- meanwhile Ayinde, her compatriot, same club player, is their club's most valuable player, Okobi is getting older, instead of improving, she's been regressing- I guess you've not been taking notice of this... Didn't you even notice that Dennerby had started preferring Ajibade to her?

At this time women's football is growing very fast, If you keep dwelling on the past, you'll get left behind; a player who does not up their game gets easily discarded. Any player that is abreast of the modern game should be preferred.

Schemerkhiz:
Non of the Ogbonna''s are a match to Patricia George, she beats them hands down in all aspects.

That would really be a breath of fresh air.

AkinDS:
Had Michelle Alozie achieved anything before her performance at the Summer Series? Or even Toni Payne? Or Ijeoma Okonkwo? Or Onyinyechi Zogg? But they sure have proven that they ALL have what it takes to belong in the Squad.
The Austria camp will help establish if Adekite is a fit on the team or not.
Worse case, it should help the Super Falcons have a more competitive substitute bench.
Wishing all the ladies the very best.

Payne had already been established before being called up, she'd been doing even better than several players we had on the squad. Alozie, on her part, had been invited to the Houston dash team before to train, play... She was not totally unknown, Houston would never invite an average player in the first place.

Okoronkwo and Zogg are not on the same same level as the aforementioned, but this new girl is a totally different case because she's never played at a decent level, has not been outstanding at those lower levels, either. Eitherway, let's just see what she brings to the table.

isan:
Okobi has lost her touch she doesn't have those splitting pass anymore , she played the wing back way too much and didn't make her progress as an Attacking midfielder , dennerby was benching her for ajibade at 2018 Awcon opener , T payne is far better than okobi atleast on current form

You are so right!

Schemerkhiz:
No big threat from any of them... Ngozi Okobi have got the advantage ahead of them including T Payne.. T Payne is very good but lake that final third pass which Okobi does better within a blink of an eye..

By the way T Payne is one of Randy Waldrum favourite in the team, she won't be lacking playing time at all because she could fit in any position upfront even as a wing back which Okobi can also do..

Talking about the new girl, I do not 'fancy' her at all. The girl plays for an obscure team, the level at which she plays is too low, I, therefore, do not expect anything from her. Payne, on the other hand, is head and shoulders above Okobi- that is simply the truth! Infact, if the coach has only the both of them to choose from, he'll readily choose Payne.

AkinDS:
Nicole is one of those versatile defenders that can play on either side of the pitch.
Not to mention she has pace to burn, which is what you want in a full back.
She is young and I think she can grow into becoming a valuable member of the team.
And she is certainly no worse that the two Ogbonnas girls who I have previously commented on...

But it seems the coach prefers the Ogbonna's to her.

AkinDS:
Adekite Fatuga - Dada (Watford FC Women)
Lady has some speed to burn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBGq-wLTP8E

But she has not achieved anything.

Schemerkhiz:
Hmmm, Alaba Jonathan is currently based in Belgium

Wow! No wonder.

BascoVanVeli:
I would rather have Alana Jonathan.

Yeah, I feel same.

LOL... @ people declaring themselves handsome. Hope they do know what they're talking about.

So sad... He must have ignored the warning signals when he had ample time to observe her, but was blinded by 'love'.

Just like that!!! This country is tiresome, abeg.

As soon as I saw dem black players come up, one after another, I knew something bad was gonna happen. The irony come be say, coach brought in Rashford and Sancho for same penalty.

I feel so sorry for those 3 black England players. Meanwhile, had it gone the other way, 'the noise for too much.'

Schemerkhiz:
Daughters of former Supereagle player Peter Ijeh, who's based in Sweden.They're definitely player's for the future, but this player play for one the best Club in Sweden BK Hacken who won the Swedish League and Swedish Cup last season, the training environment for them is very okay especially the eldest one she plays for two clubs currently, full games for Div 2 side Lidkopings FK and as a regular substitute for BK Hacken in the DAMALLSVENSKAN..


I believe BK Hacken doesn't want to release her that's why they sent her to their affiliate Club Lidkopings FK where she gets full game time is the Elitettan and then come over and play for BK Hacken as Substitute regularly. It's good for her development though but this to and fro of a thing Sha..



While Josephine Ijeh is with BK Hacken U19

Good to know about their dad, but my concern is that they are just "prospects" and would likely never benefit the team for now... If they're invited to feel attached bearing in mind that they may become "massive" in the future... Well... It'd be okay.

Our major concern for now, however, should be Midfield; especially central and defensive, then maybe, a few quality defenders.

So painful...

Wow! Great stuff!

Congrats to him!

Schemerkhiz:
Yes She's Coming to camp alongside her 18yrs old younger Sister Josephine Ijeh who's a Defender...

Are they not too young? Or... They just want to invite players anyhow?

AkinDS:
When last did you see her play on the international stage? And yes, I have been watching her performances for club and country, a whole lot!
Her performance in AWCON 2018 was nothing to write home about either. Even worse was her 2019 WWC performance.
Its strange that most people haven't noticed her steady decline in performance over the past 4-5 years.
She has little or no pace, slows down our attack and her production rate in front of goal has been mediocre.
Her highest goals output at the AWCON was in 2014 with 5 goals, which was 7 years ago. Since then, her productivity has declined - 2016 (3), 2018 (2).
She has been in Nigeria's WC team since 2010, playing in the 2011, 2015 and 2019 squads, logging in an astonishing 'goose egg' number of goals (for someone who was supposed to be Nigeria's main striker). Its obvious she is grossly overrated, as she can't perform on the big stage.
I beg, let the woman be.

Everything you stated is spot on! But it's still a good thing she's being invited again, this will enable us judge her closely... You know, sometimes, national team football can be tricky, and as such you never can tell what she can bring after a period of absence. Besides, she's got a lot of players to compete against, unlike before when she had no challenge ; Now, it's either she sits up or she leaves!

JohnBullMySon:
You didn't get the point.

I highlighted the phrase "personally rate". It is not practical in terms of speed. There's only one fastest.

What's wrong with it? It's my personal opinion, and I stated so, after all.

CoolJulian:
She's beautiful! I wish them a happy married life.

Error, pls!

She's beautiful! I wish them a happy married life.

Houseofglam7:

She's beautiful! I wish them a happy married life.

JohnBullMySon:
I often wonder how you guys do this

In terms of "speed." I never called her the "best player." I'm actually aware that some players are ranked above her in terms of speed, but I disagree with those rankings- She is faster than them, rather. Or... Could you suggest players that are faster than her?

mostob:
I will have to disagree with this. How is she not an upgrade on what we have. Apart from the new additions, who are the decent wingers in the team? I was really surprised she didn't get to play much during the last world cup.

Mind you, I have been following her since...before the last AWCON specifically.

I'm not sure you are aware of the players she's up against. Moreover, doesn't her lack of game time at the world cup, down to the bench role she plays at the national team tell you something? These players train with the coaches, and the coaches know them better.
