we obviously don't have a 10, so, we should be playing a formation that favours what we do have.

Iwobi can play as a 10 or as a CM in 4-3-3.

safarigirl:
how about Kelechi? Abi he sef no dey form?

As a 10?? No. Unless we go with a 4-4-2.
We're better off with a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 based on the personnel we have.
If we play 4-4-2, it means Ndidi - Onazi will play as CMs. That is not going to work against Libya.

safarigirl:
so is Ighalo.

What form is Etebo in that you would start him in that position? Rohr's starting line-up will be better than this your formation

Wanna bet that Musa will start? Also who should replace Etebo? Onazi?? I'm not a fan of playing with two destroyers.
Musa IS on form. He has played well for us in his last few games.

Still no Eze...Rohr no go get sense now. Didn't even bother replacing injured Joel Obi.
From the list, I'd like us to line up with Uzoho - Idowu, Leon Balogun, Troost Ekong, Aina - Ndidi, Etebo, Iwobi - Musa (he's in great form), Success and Moses Simon.
However, we all know Rohr...Ighalo and Onazi will definitely start even if you threatened him at gun point.
Onyekuru - Ighalo - Kalu
Musa - Success - Moses Simon
Kalu - Success - Moses Simon
So many combinations to choose from for our front 3. Rohr better not Bleep things up. Even if you want to question the quality of our current players - one thing you can't deny is we have the right balance.
It's up to Rohr to stop with his destroyer fetish and be bold!

forgiveness:
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Your pride will not let you see I, Kayode, Ajagun and co have nothing to do with Iheanachonaldo named as world worst XI striker of the century..oh sorry...of the year. Ndo!

Why are you trolling man?? E don do ooo!!

Happy birthday Oga Icon4s and raindodger13. Many more blessings to you both.

Icon4s:
Iwobi needs to add some goals to his game. That is his major challenge now.

Yep. Problem is he likes to side foot every attempt. His shooting technique is not that bad sef

Ramsey leaving might be a blessing in disguise. Perfect opportunity for Iwobi to step in. Ozil gets to play as a 10 and everyone's happy (except Auba sha)

Iwobi dey run things!!

Great movement from Success.

This guy is a fool if he thinks there are "many players" other than cr7 and messi better than Neymar.
Neymar is a world class player. Better than Hazard, Bale, Modric, who ever you want to name.
I'm surprised people have the nerve to even dare put him and Hazard in the same sentence. Hazard fanboys must be gassed with this small bronze medal he got at WC and making Fifa XI.
PR or not - Neymar has been better than anything England has produced since I was born...not even Gascoigne was as talented.

Joebie:
Ask Otigba, Dessers, Deji etc. Declare at your own peril.

Deji will get invited...if Rohr knows what's good for him.

TheSuperNerd:
Beautiful news Edi... Beautiful. Chriskels will love this. Hope we capitalise. Meanwhile on Lookman, I think we are already on his case.

Yep. I can't wait to have all these guys. Lookman, Eze and Onomah. Let's do it.

Ojo confirms interest in playing for Nigeria. Lookman we are waiting

WetinConsignMe:
Has nothing to do with that. On the whole NYC is safer than Chicago but I doubt any part of Chcago is more dangerous than Brownsville

Exactly. Brownsville is a very rough place. NYC generally is a lot cooler now than in the 90s. Unfortunate what happened to the kid

Throwback:
Only an irresponsible parent will claim he/she was looking for a better life for the kids and relocated them to a place like Jamaica Queens New York, or Peckham London.

Are there no saner districts in the USA to raise a model citizen and not a Nigga thug?

RIP to the homie that we lost.

Jamaica is a bit better these days...not as bad as it was back in the old days.
Depends on what part of Jamaica they stay at

The weight of that Nacho pass was crazy sha.

This is the best way to use him....as a SS. He and Vardy seem to click.

charlesemeka85:
our local academies,the nff u13 programme and the recent push for foreign born players are the future stronghold of the super eagles. the current npfl is just there and have minimal importance to the growth of the super eagles.

Gbam!!

komekn:
I like Iwobi but let's talk truth and let devil shame.

Did you not see what Aubemyang was doing and how many goals did he score❓

Without doubt Iwobi had an exceptional game but Aubemyang got the goals.

Iwobi is meant to be the creative fulcrum. Missed the game but I heard he was the MOTM

I hope this isn't true.

He's most likely struck a deal with the government. Let's hope it's a case of Uzor Kalu being a big liar. It would be so unfortunately if this guy buckled under pressure and sold out his cause.

jihday:
I think the 2001 set too was bad, they had Opabunmi, sambo, Akpan, Omonigho, I think there's a certain[b][/b] shuaibu [b][/b]too. they all faded out. don't think any of them played for super eagles aside from Opabunmi and that was in 2002 just a year after please correct me if I'm wrong I can barely remember their names

Karimu Shuaibu. The flopped at the finals against france.
That French team had Le Tallic and the guy that played for liverpool

Icon4s:
At least from that 09 set we still have Omeruo, Onazi, Kayode and Ajagun still balling. There was selective MRI for that 09 set.
Did you see the 93 and 2001 sets?

Too young though I can vividly remember my uncle cursing out Karimu Shuaibu for being useless despite being at least 25.
I think that was the set that had the guy who used two different names for the tournament...he played in Bulgaria and had a few caps with the national team...can't remember his name

forgiveness:
You people said none of them made it in football but that is a big fat lie.

Age and performance should be separated.

But na age we dey talk about egbon. That set was crazy hence why Westerhof said what he did, but the 09 set rivals them imo.
We should be thanking God for MRI.

krattoss:
now diddy and Iggy azaaella is coming for him.

Forget those clowns. Make Iggy just stick to twerking.
Puffy's ghostwriters these days suck.

charlesemeka85:
to those who love good rap,bars n rhymes pls try n get eminem's kamikaze album.

Old news. Killshot was a good reply to MGK

ChrisKels:
That's a lie bro 09 has given us some meaningful players for the national team

Omeruo, Onazi, Kayode are all 09 while not even one person made it from 07

True but still insist the age cheating allround was crazy in that set.
Onazi is already looking like he's reaching retirement at 26.

ChrisKels:
Nigeria's worst U17 set up ever in the history of Nigerian football. Grandfathers playing against kids 20 years younger

09 set was even worse. I remember Westerhof saying they should be drafted in to SE before they fizzle out because most were at least 21.

Foolish attention seeking fake SJW won't shut the hell up and mind her business.

Joebie:
Well Ujah plays in the Bundesliga and he has two goals now. Ighalo has 17? Na the matter we dey o. How they can translate that to SE.

Yeah that's the issue. I had high hopes for Ujah. Don't know what happened...maybe he wasn't as good as I thought.
Rohr should look for more creative players. Stop this fetish with destroyers.

Rohr Reveals The Name Of One Striker He's Planning To Recall For AFCON Qualifier Vs Libya
Published: September 16, 2018

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is planning to recall in-form Mainz frontman Anthony Ujah for next month's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations double-header against Libya.

The former Bayern Munich defender has been forced to sit up and take notice after the Mainz number 20 scored in his second consecutive game playing as a substitute on Saturday.

For three years now, Ujah has been in the international wilderness, with his last cap earned in the goalless draw with Tanzania in an AFCON qualifier on September 5, 2015.

His lack of game time at Mainz was the main reason he was not invited to the Nigeria squad for the 2018 World Cup despite a chance meeting with Gernot Rohr at the airport in Frankfurt.

Speaking as a consultant on the Bundesliga on Europe 1, Rohr stated :''We are scouting him, we could remember him for the next games''.

Ujah was a member of the Super Eagles squad at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and started the 6-1 rout of Tahiti.

Don't forget Dessers. Looks like Rohr wants a physical striker upfront instead.
Paul Onachu should've gotten an invite by now

so much is at stake! We don't need distraction abeggi
