We just have rookies as our super eagles players. You will not see any senior national team in the world parade 80% of players who are suppose to play for their under 20 teams. Maturity and experience matters in football at the senior level. Maturity and Experience bring confidence and that's what was lacking in our young super eagles team yesterday. No leadership. No playmaker in the mould of Ranti that can change the game at any time. NFF and Rohr have to really sit up and bring in matured and agile players still doing well to face other matured opponents at the senior level. African football does not require frail, fragile and at times short players as we presently have in our super eagles. It's all about physicality and we need such too. We still need to look at and bring in the following players into the super eagles if at all we want to qualify for the world cup and nations cup;
* Vincent Enyeama
* Emmanuel Daniel
* Sone Aluko
* Brown Ideye
* Victor Moses
* John Ogu
* Fernando Adi
* Paul Onoachu,
* MIkel Obi
* Efe Ambrose
* Victor Anichebe
These and more other senior players are needed in this team. Rohr duty was to come and harness our players to qualify both for world cup and nations cup and not to come and build a team with players who are suppose to be playing for our under 20 flying eagles. Is it so bad that a player like Oshimen is now a super eagles player??
Check out the teams that won the nations cup in 94, olympics gold medal in 96 and even the one that won the nation cup in 2013, you will see players that were strong, big and powerful mostly in the super eagles team. We need players who have that influence, strength and power. Players whom oppenents will even dread at the sight of their physique just like we saw in the south African team not to mention cameroun. Enough of these young rookies as super eagles players.

from you list, via positional play, removing , MIKEL,MOSES OGU,
am not sure of IDEYE, the players we need to complete our line-up, foe any match day vis-a-vis positional play are,


ENYEAMA,
AMBROSE
SONE ALUKE
and FENADO ADI, dats all

Ok I understand you now.

We are Nigerians there will always be politics, favoritism and under handed arrangements whether we like it or not.

No they are not being overlooked ( that suggests an inadvertent mistake) they are being blatantly side stepped and put aside.

Explain a player who spent the whole season injured is recovering and has played in his entire life no more than 45 minutes of professional football in a low level relegation club in the Bundesliga. Has been invited to the SE on what basis that player is Osimhen.

Explain because I cannot. It enthrones mediocrity and does not motivate players and can cause disaffection in the camp. It becomes obvious that ability and quality are no longer the material facts in player selection.

This can discourage players from choosing the SE it gives a bad smell of blatant favouritism.

When we have far far better players in better leagues and clubs.

Kia oga take it easy you still miss the point,

this lose of our darling is not making some of us reason straight,
there is nothing about ur points raised, rather

IKEME is out injured, FIFA had not clear AINA to play for us yet,
bros abeg take am small small, cos be like say you dey mistake PARACETAMOL for PANADOL

komekn:
Tell me one of our existing right backs that is better than Ola Aina currently.

Outside of Enyeama which goalkeeper is better than Carl Ikeme.

guy you are missing the point, the question is are both of them overlooed,

I mean IKEME &AINA

See wetin naija loss don cost dis thread,
chaiii

somehow:
Chai, too many sentimental comments on this thread, some people won't see anything wrong with the players they like.

What exactly was Iheanacho doing on that pitch after 45 mins? He was no where to be found and had no connection whatever either with his fellow striker or the midfield. If they don't feed you balls, why not come for the balls?

Even when he was subbed, he was walking off the pitch like we were 10 goals up and an SA player had to come remind him to hurry out. Yesterday was a sad day.

Ideye must not be discarded yet, he's been the best SS since 2012. We just need to conclude on a good 9 which we currently lack except for Osimen and Kayode who are still raw.

The midfield lacked creativity, the 3 midifielders played the same way! No one took charge of being creative.

For the defence, save for awaziem, the rest did well but then when you don't attack, you put pressure on your defence especially when you have a dead midfield.

guy ah taya ooo, somebody here even said we should being back AINA and IKEME

Hmmmm, ab decide to keep mute, but seeing as some of us here are so angry, and are suggesting to bring back our experienced player, even going as to suggest bringing back IKEME and OLA AINA,

chaii IKEME & OLA,

omo ah tire asap

joseph1013:
I'm not worried. With our big boys back, we will beat SA away.

Many factors led to the shock SA win.

Our major problem yesterday was that we did not have players willing to run at their defenders. I knew we were going to concede. We must concede with Akpeyi starting, a new CB pairing, first time Onazi-Ndidi defensive pairing. But I felt we would outscore them. And we should have. Alas, Iwobi didn't come to the party, Musa was fasting and Kelechi became starved of the ball, plus he didn't have the drive to track to the middle to get the balls himself, thereby pulling the defenders out of position.

In the return leg, with Victor Moses back, we will have our best dribbler back. That will open the spaces and with Mikel's leadership in the middle, we will be able to carve spaces for someone like Kelechi to bury the chances.

Balogun should also be back, therefore we should have the usual fine CB pairing. Echiejile and Shehu were fine in yesterday's game.

Things like this happen. We will be fine. We will be at Russia and Cameroun.

I like your confidence, when is our next match in AFCON qualifier

jayinfo2:
I tried locating dunamis around here but non is available the closest is at yaba which is very far

have you try looking for christembassy

CarolineOlawale:
look at his flat head. I'm sure he inherited is cowardice from the useless cross-dresser called ojukwu!


useless thing!

you can call him names, if you like, but it changes nothing rather
it provides him a step ahead, cos wen it started he will be home and safe by den,

and get this, its not the igbos alone, they mean the entire south, cos those illiterates ca,not diferenate between, igbos and yorubas, as well as igbos and other southerners

Thanks to my Tv and nepa say ah no watch am, if not nah fever for dey worri me nah,


chaiiiiiiiii

jotey:
akpeyi is a disaster

bro I tell you , that's y I want ENYEAMA back so ALAMPASU can learn from him and take over,

ROHR should hav change tectis at half time, by bringing IWOBI back to mildfield, ETEBO to the wing, and NDID, as the front four, while leaving ONAZI in the middle

I said it before now we are here,
AKPEYI is a deserter waiting to happen

Guys steady updat pls, am not watching the match cos my TV jst Bleep up today of all days,

Rejoice with me my people, i have a bouncing baby gal.....

Top universities like this can only exist in serious countries, not in a Joke like Nigeria.

I won't be surprised if, no Nigeria university make the top 50 for that matter, with their endless strike, cultist trouble, and unbelievable carry-overs,

is it any wonder that even the V.Cs children study abroad

Dude met a dead python on the road and had to get out of the country?

What if he saw a half dead cockroach or a centipede in his stew?

He would run to the ancestors?

lolzzzzz guy you bad oooo

tbaba1234:
That is why we have under 17 and under 20 coaches. Manu Garba, Ugbade and Amunike boys are already becoming important members of the Super Eagles.

Rohr's primary job is to get the best team, he can assemble.

then he should be running after any Nigeria born play, like a womanizer running after skirt right

Hati13:
Yes

good to have you here, you are welcome to our humble yet captivating thread of nairaland

tbaba1234:
Nigeria is actually short in defense. There is plenty talent in other areas.

when shall we creat one for ourself, a libero for that matter,
ROHR is a good coach we need his type to mould our young local players into world beater,

tbaba1234:
Manuel Akanji starts for Switzerland. No more chance of convincing him to play for 9ja.

let him go, all this talk about inviting this player and that player does not make sense anymore

Icon4s:
Is this the first time Nigeria or any Islamic country would be playing during fasting?

These guys are delusional north developed south. Oil exploration was a joint venture. Second wasn't palm oil biggest export. From what I remember South Protectorate was the more economicly productive region. Develop yourselves if you're the mighty developers.

shit that guy is becoming unstoppable little by little,

Icon79:
Everyone's projected line up seems to take it for granted that Akpeyi would be the goalkeeper, but I won't be surprised if we see Ezenwa in goal tomorrow. I know that Akpeyi seems to have won the #2 spot but something tells me that Ezenwa might just nick it

Don't get me wrong, it's probably gonna be Akpeyi especially since he plays in South Africa, but I just don't want anybody to see that as a settled case. To me, aside from Carl Ikeme, the goalkeeping position is still open.

O pari

o man, ah sure say you go understand dis English ah wan scatter for you so,

chaii no be you abeg
