Dubious use of VAR
How and why please? That was suppose ro be a straight red card initially. Last man rule

Mujtahida:
Omeruo is really a wack defender. We always concede cheap goals when he's in defense
Our first match against Zambia enroute Russia 2018, he made us concede

At the WC proper he couldn't close down on Messi. Messi scored

last afcon against Cameron, he couldn't clear the incoming cross even though he was in front of the defender. Cameroon equalized

Still same match, a long ball from midfield, Omeruo couldn't head it out. He was out jumped. Cameron went 2-1 up

In the match against Algeria, he couldn't clear his lines. Algeria scored first.

Omeruo no good abeg

This Afcon might be cancelled if care is not taken, Covid and Amazonian are both threatening it,

Eguavoen not sold on Dessers,Pinnick is ready to pay the fine.

TheGoodJoe:

Ask me. Is it not Pinnick that was fighting to bring Ighalo. Now see the mess. He should accept his error and pay the fine. The NFF has enough money to employ foreign coach and are shaking to pay fine for us to have more options in the AFCON.

TheSuperNerd:
Those merriments followed only after a successfully completed itinerary. Been back for a while but decided to ease my way back online via twitter before I take "the long bus" that leads me to NL and to this thread (flights no dey enter this place so na bus ).


Happy New Year, Elf of Darkness... And Happy New Year to everyone. Hope you all still rocking in this place

Greetings Comrades, gentlemen and ladies

Eguavoen explains why he shelved the plan for seven NPFL non-roster invitees to train with Eagles

Nigeria's caretaker manager Augustine Eguavoen has explained why he shelved the plan for seven Nigeria Professional Football League non-roster invitees to train with the national team in Abuja ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles legend was in touch with players from Enugu Rangers, Kwara United, Kano Pillars and Rivers United among others, only for him to jettison the idea on second thought.

Eguavoen stressed that it made no sense for the seven domestic-based players to train with the team as their clubs have key matches in the Nigeria Professional Football League.

None of the NPFL stars stood a chance of being included in the traveling squad to Cameroon this week simply because their names were not on the provisional roster submitted to the Confederation of African Football.

"I still have their names, about seven home based players I wanted to be in the midst, train and then see what happens but my hands were so tied that the league only started on the 19th of December," Eguavoen said to NFF TV.

"I know players have to play in their teams, no time to play any friendly games.

"I had to reach out to Tope (Olusesi) from Rangers, (Musa) Afeez from Kwara United, Uche (Onwuansanya) from Rivers United, couple of players but we have to submit a list, so there is no time to actually give them that opportunity to play friendly games but hopefully they will also still have a chance.

"But it really doesn't make sense to bring them now, deny them from playing for their clubsides midweek, weekend, and then we are on the plane to Cameroon, and to go back home. It doesn't really make sense but their chance will come".

Enyimba's John Noble is the only home-based player included in Nigeria's 28-man squad list for the Africa Cup of Nations and definitely starts the tournament as the fourth choice in the pecking order of goalkeepers.

This Pinnick is a f### man. See excitement he is trying to spoil. Ride on Chief.

PurpleHouse:
Trust me, Dennis will regret his action for the rest of his career. Should we win Afcon, his national team dream is dead. And one day, he will give an interview of how Ranieri messed his ambition up.

We dey here dey wait.

darkelf:
I agree with most of what you said

I don't think we will miss Dennis tbh

In fact, his exclusion is a blessing in disguise

BTW, Algeria to win, Senegal to come second and Tunisia/Morroco?egypt for the Bronze

ChrisKels:
Earthquake answer the simple question, why was the NFF handicapped if truly the mails were sent once? Does that make sense to you? Does Watford have the jurisdiction to stop a player on the premise that the player is too important to them if they don't have a case(delayed invitation)? Like I said, these things are too big for you

Danielnino00:
Salah is very much dispensable...

You have to understand that Liverpool isn't a team built around one player.. We will miss him for just 2 PL games, so there's no issue...

safarigirl:
Are you comparing Liverpool that is in Top 4 to Watford that is battling relegation?

Or are you comparing Dennis to Salah?

andrewbaba44:
At least Ebuehi and ajayi Na foreign born

I will be waiting for those monikers that said the coaching crew are against foreign born

elyte89:
U wear bra for eye

Didn't u c his name in d published 40man list?

D problem with our football is administration.. Rohr has submitted dis list almost two month now b4 his dismissal.. Y did NFF failed to notify those clubs b4 now?...dey waited till die minute..they av to b blamed ,

safarigirl:
Ekong is dispensable, Dennis isn't

Danielnino00:
Rohr pampered him by making him feel like the RB role was his own, despite the availability of Ebuehi and Aina...

dkay51:
I'm saying if that's their reason then its not legitimate, because we're calling up replacements who were not previously informed.

dkay51:
Not everytime blame NFF, if CAF didnt complain that we sent in our list late, why would any club make that complaint and no other club complained o. What's so special about Watford?

TheGoodJoe:
The guys should take it upon themselves to arrive early. We have no time and need to make use of the little we have.

Keep the faith.

TheGoodJoe:

Eguavoen Attackers FC will not talk now.

TheGoodJoe:

If Kelz Nwakali and Ndah ends on the bench, it won't be far fetched. Keep in mind there is little time for thorough preparation and they can come in if the coach wants to make a tactical switch.

For now, Eguavoen made it clear he is working with the team on ground. Therefore, there is a big chance the Rohr regulars will run the show.

However, I am expecting different and seeing Kelz and Ndah breaking in.

andrewbaba44:
Akpoguma ahead of Olise ndah

Ebuehi ahead of shehu

Not suprised Ebuehi didn’t make the list because rohr didn’t call him before he was sacked and shehu was even playing ahead of him and even aina at Tim’s

Suprised akpoguma didn’t make the list because Olise ndah came from no where

And in my opinion the strikers there are too many abeg ,they should have dropped 1 striker and use the spot for a midfielder

And finally ,Omeruo shehu musa should have no business in the super eagles for now (My opinion )

Kog45:
Honestly I thought 28 man list must emerged from 40 man list but we saw two outsider in Nwakili and Olisa Ndah in the team.....definitely questions must be asked,why the duo making the team at the expense of invited players.....I don't know maybe Eguavoen had press conference after the list came out to defend the inclusion of Nwakili and Olisa.

But from my own point of view,Rohr was sacked for tactical reason and Eguavoen must have studied the team tacticaly prompted listing of Nwakili and Olisa in the team....meaning the two players have significant roles to play cos seeing them on the bench in Afcon will put a question mark on Eguavoen decision.

My man let's wait and see what will happen in Afcon,after then will evaluate Eguavoen tactical decisions.
