Rohr should have dropped Iheanacho prior to the world cup when it was obvious he lost form but he kept playing him over players that were in form.

He made him too relaxed and assured for a call.

This was what I saw then that made me to voice out on several occasions but people thought I was hating and even went as far as calling me a tribalist.

I think they were the true enemies of Iheanacho. They never really love the boy.

However, I think converting him into a striker from a SS/Amf didn't do him well, perhaps.

I hope he gets back to the Iheanacho we know. Goodluck.

It's funny how people are now accusing Rohr of not liking Nacho.
How many times did Rohr invite him despite being off form?? At least with Musa - he took his chance at the WC while Nacho has clearly failed to do so.
Maybe this tough love is what he needs. Picking him while he's off form in other to build his confidence while we have the likes of Osimhen, Awonyi, etc in form and improving everyday doesn't make sense.
He should take this as a challenge.

I'm assuming Rohr will be playing 3-5-2 seeing he dropped Semi.
I would've dropped Shehu or Awaziem instead.

Oasis007:
Final List.

Wooow now this is a surprise!!! Rohr taking about Onachu and Osimhen is very surprising.
I get the feeling either both performed too well to be dropped in training or Nacho simply wasn't up go scratch.
In terms of performance over the season - no doubt Nacho deserves to be dropped. I just didn't think Rohr would take two target men to AFCON.
Nacho has got to evaluate his career over the summer. He's gone from being our golden to being 4th choice forward. With the number of wide forwards we have - it'll be extremely difficult for him to come back to the team unless he plays well.

OMANBALA1:
Iwobi has been played in that position on numerous times both club side and in the national team,yet he has not stamped his feet. We will never know what Simon can do until he is played in that position.

Iwobi has done well in the middle for Arsenal many times. It is his best position actually.
Simon Moses doesn't have the feel to play as an AM.

OMANBALA1:
I strongly believe that brother can excel in that position....think about it, he has the skill, the midfield energy requirements and can stay the course and highly disciplined. That nigga will run circles around Iwobi.....Its injustice to play Iwobi while Simon is on the bench. Its becoming clear Iwobi is gonna be another failed English groomed player.

Iwobi is a better AM than Moses Simon.

OMANBALA1:
Simon Moses excelled as a wing forward in training. Until they play him as a AM I think he will never achieve his full potentials. Simon Moses is not a traditional winger , I think he was born to play in the middle due to his ability to operate in small spaces, energy and discipline....Everything Iwobi lacks!

He does not have the final pass to play as an AM.

Rodgers is world class?

His liverpool almost won the league but they slip up

I wouldn't call him WC but he's a very good coach. He's not a great motivator like Klopp.
I like how he sets up his teams plus his eye for talent. I don't think he can handle big players (one of the reasons I didn't want him at arsenal)

andrew444:
Rodgers is an average coach what else do you expect from him ?

Rodgers is not average. He turned Swansea to a top 10 team before he left and of course took a decent liverpool team at best to second place.
Rodgers main problem is he's a poor man manager. If you're talking actual coaching - he is very good at it.

Afobear:
How many players have gone from Overhyped EPL you asslick to other leagues to be a hit?

EPL is the most attractive destination for players other than Real Madrid and Barca(mainly has to do with epl money no doubt)
How many Barca and Madrid players leave for the epl?
Besides at least 95 percent of the players that move from LA Liga tend to step up to bigger epl teams.

komekn:
Onuachu gives the SE a different option that Iheanacho can not offer.

It's a difficult question, can he Onuachu stand up and be counted in comparison to the other options. The only contenders are Osihmen and Iheanacho.

In comparison he is more consistent and regards the Denmark league there are questions but so also are there questions about the Belguim league.

Iheanacho has been impotent for two seasons and he doesn't even look like he can up his game.

Onuachu is a bit similar to Osihmen. That's who I think he'll be competing for a place with.
Nacho is 95 percent guaranteed to make the final 23. It'd take a monumental screw up for him to be dropped.

darkelf:
But I still don't understand why he couldn't succeed after Suarez left

Because Suarez was replaced by Balotelli who didn't want??
Are we going to act like he wasn't the one that brought out the best out of Suarez in Liverpool??

isan:
ademola in for his holiday

I wish we could get both of them.

Komekn you know this Doherty guy abi?? Can you confirm if this is true

Osimhen to Atalanta. Good deal...he gets to play UCL football.

Icon4s:
Brother, since we are like family here, I just came out of a surgical operation. Currently still hospitalized. But no worries, it came out good and I am recovering.

I didn't watch the game because the Hospital's management made it as a policy not to switch to football games due to their hypertensive patients. I never knew until 5 minutes before the game when I requested for super sport .

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Well at least they didn't thrash us.

This U20 tournament is enough for me to want Pinnick fired.
Paul Aigbogun should be fired and not allowed anywhere near Nigerian football again.
This was just a waste of time and money.

Will you shut up?? Mumu is trying to make something out of nothing.
Everyone is disappointed AJ lost. Offer him your words of support and move the Bleep on.
Awon "deep thinker"

andrew444:
That is what I was trying to tell them and they know ,they keep on speaking of retired players

I didn't even speak about the Epl ,even the Epl no Nigerian player has scored 20 league goals in a single season wide player or striker or anywhere

All of them just dey call retired player ,yakubu highest goal in a single season is 17 Epl goals ,I don't want to talk about the Epl because it's miles ahead the French league.

I am not even sure if hazard scored 22 goals in a single season for Lille

Hazard scored 20..less than Pepe.
You're right that if we had him - the hype would be over the roof.
The guy would make our first 11 in his sleep.

darkelf:
Even I as an AJ fan know that's just premium bullshit

AJ beat Parker, beat that noisy britih dark dude (forgot his name now)... beat Takam, beat Povetkin who had lost just once before AJ.

Although, he's not half as good as Ali or even 5'11 tyson, he is not overrated. The overrated one is wilder and the only way to prove it is for AJ to defeat wilder by nothing less than a Unanimous decision.

AJ fuccked up with his rookie mistake and allowed all the talk of wilder this....fury that....get into his mindset. This was what the American Media wanted ...for him to be distracted. He didn't focus on this fight and prolly didn't prepare enough for it.

But no qualms, he'll be back as a better fighter and hopefully has learnt from it. I want a rematch so badly on his behalf. Let them set it up in at least 4-5 months

He should've never passed out on the Wilder bout.
I can understand why Wilder is pissed. Dude has lost a shot at a big money bout. AJ rejected 50m making up all sorts of excuses just to go lose against Ruiz.

Barryseal:
He was beat down 3 times by a fat, pub fighter, it says alot about his basic defense and foot work. This guy was supposed to be in his peak. Klitchko, Tyson and Lenox never went down 3times in their peak.
Bottom line is that Aj believed his hype and paid massively for it.

His conditioning was piss poor. Notice how easily he gasses out as of late??

realpoacher:
Please remind me how many goals did Yakubu the big 'Yak' scored for three seasons in a row for Boro, Everton and Portsmouth in the EPL and Championship?

Did the heavens fall?

Pepe is a wide player. How many wide players have we had that scored 20 plus goals and 10 plus assists in a league like Ligue un?
Infact when last did we have a forward score more than 20 in the top 5 leagues??

Do you know anything about this guy Tbaba123 Forgiveness

elyte89:
Sir chriskel...our BBC transfer pundit,seems our transfer speculation is not going well as we anticipated

Simy to Lazio now remains to Crotone

Now na osimhen touting to go.for Ac Milan,now staying put @Charleroi
Onyekuru to Bayern,now we re hearing he wants a permanent stay in galatassary










I just dey observe chuks transfer with one eye,make e no b say Nigeria players and transfer only.ends with speculation, no.concrete move as usual

Charleroi will most likely flog him off to a bigger team

forgiveness:
Yes! I wrote Kalika but auto correct changed it to Malika.

He is very good.

Yep. I wouldn't mind the guy being coach sometime in the future. Then again, he could be one of those guys that make great assistants but terrible managers.

forgiveness:
Simon Malika. He was the secret behind that team.

Kalika you mean. I remember some folks touting him as next SE coach.

Kog45:
La liga Nigeria all time 11 without Chris Ohenhen is not a list.

Any reason why he didn't make our France 98 squad? Wouldn't he have been a better option than Yekini as that time,

Earthquake3:
What kind of formation is that

They just wanted to fit the best players in.

LA Liga's Nigeria all time 11.

Who should've made the list?? Ohenhen and maybe Gbenga Okunowo for me.

tbaba1234:
Noah Arinze invited for Switzerland.. Another great talent lost.

He is under 20.

We might regret this BIG time in the future.

Humility017:
so because of UEFA coaching license he was hired?
it seems you don't know what man know man can do in this country and still they use one qualification as an excuse why the person with long leg was hired....

that guys recruitment was highly influenced

I must admit his UEFA coaching license was what made me notice the guy in the first place.
I realized he was a fraud after falling to win the AYC despite fielding grandpas and watching the U20s for the first time yesterday further cemented my view.

andrew444:
The number of games matters ,not that you will play one game and do well then you return to your normal position then before you will go back to that position it will be long

I don't think wijnaldum will be considered as a versatile player nor origi

Wijnaldum didn't start as a striker ,dude has always been a goal scoring midfielder and was even prolific at Newcastle,there a time he scored 4 goals in an Epl match .

Wijnaldum is the second most versatile player in Liverpool after James Milner.

darkelf:
I warned you guys about this team and this tournament. Didn't I?

I had decided not to watch any of their matches and I am happy I stuck by my decisions.

Good riddance!!!

I wish I followed you. I wanted to check out the likes of Kingsley Michael, Dele and Nnamdi
