OMANBALA1:
Neither do I have qualms with Rohr inviting Azeez, if he continue to do well. However, I strongly disagree with those who are trying to use Azeez recent form to berate Azubike. Zuby might not be in the best of form ,but first he is still the U23 captain and in the last game he carried the whole team on his shoulders. He will also lead them to the Olympics and make history and people will eat the humble pie.

And honestly, I will take an inform Zuby over Ndidi , Etebor, Azeez and the rest....I have seen Zuby play and he is the most equipped of all the DM we currently parade. This is true if we can be honest to ourselves...My prayer is may God lift the boy .

Azubike and Nwakali will still come alive...w

Zuby's time will come. Olympic qualifiers was why he wasn't invited the other time.
He's not better than Ndidi but he Def isn't a "carpenter" like some are making him out to be.

Siasia mom has finally been released. Thank goodness...

BascoVanVeli:
The buck stops at the top.

Dikko is the chairman of LMC. What great ideas has he brought to the table? What is he saying about the league starting late?

gamaliel9:
I have been scouring the internet looking for Kelechi Nwakali in CD LOGRONES team...no way...he is neither in Huesca squad nor in Logrones squad...he has not played a game


Where is he bikonu?

He is paying for wasting all that time at Arsenal during pre season instead of moving and trying to integrate at Huesca as quick as possible.

BascoVanVeli:
Yes insult the players but exonerate that ediot u call a messiah. Pinnick has destroyed our league only someone who cannot reason will think different

You should be blaming Dikko too. What has Dikko done as LMC chairman to push Pinnick to pay attention to the league?

Earthquake1:
How did Pinnick destroy our league?

The league has been stagnant for a while now. Pinnick deserves a bit of blame for that. Dikko or whatever his name is as well.
Isn't Dikko the chairman of LMC?

zoboizee:
With Gernot Rohr, Nigeria's chance against Brazil is almost zero. You can't park the bus & play on the counter attack against Brazil especially when the space between your two center backs are so obvious that attackers keep running behind them( as we had it against Ukraine) every now and them. The old Rohr we know will probably keep faith with a defence of Awaziem, Ekong, Omeruo & Collins and a midfield of Ndidi, Etebo & Iwobi. The frontline will be Chukwueze, Osimhen & Kalu. Barring injury to any player.


Brother, i share your feeling. It irritate me watching Etebo play defensive midfield. I watched him at Warri Wolves, U23 Afcon, the Olympics & Feirense as an attacking player. The difference is so clear.

Rohr is essentially using him the way he should've used Mikel.
Someone needs to speak to him about this.

andrew444:
Una brother

As soon as naija jersey touch him skin, him go turn pipe.

balorx:
let's get the fact right...no one can do what ndidi does for now ...the guy is irreplaceable ...if we are to play attacking football I prefer aribo starting over etebo and etebo and azeez as a backup to ndidi....zuby can get an invite if etebo is injured
let's see what esiti can do his friendly before we say anything

Where are you getting this idea that Zuby and Etebo are similar?? I haven't watched Zuby that much(mostly at the Olympics and a few games at Turkey) but he is very different to Etebo. If anything, he is an alternative to Ndidi.
You guys need to stop looking at Etebo as a defensive player. He is an attacking player whose versatility is hampering him.
You don't know how annoying it feels when I see Rohr playing him as the deepest midfielder.

TheSuperNerd:
More keen indeed... Arsenal blew it!! They were not more keen anything. If they wanted Chuks, they should have sealed the deal.

There were. Wenger spoke about the deal falling through.

Samu is a baller!! Now I see why arsenal were more keen on him than Nwakali back then.
What a guy...

TheSuperNerd:
Danilo won't be missed. They have Daniel Alves on the right. On the left, they also have Alex Sandro and Renan Lodi.

Lodi is Brazilian?? Na wa for those guys..

Earthquake1:
Prime Zlatan or prime Aguero?

Aguero. Both choke at the ucl Sha.

internetbusines:
Did Aribo, Azeez and the new goal goalkeeper also signed with DW Sport Management? I am not saying your assertion is wrong or right, but what I want you to know is that there are some persons, coaches inclusive that rate English division leagues very lowly in terms of technicalities and tactics and no matter what you tell these people or how good you are in these second below tier English leagues they will never invite you. Save for Semi Ajayi, he is a central defender and apart from the fact that he has been in and out of the super eagles, the engles defense line has been a major problem.

Etebo plays in the championship and Eze has been one of the best performers there.
Anyhow dude will soon move to an epl club sooner or later.
WE should've been inviting him instead of chidiebere and Kelechi Nwakali.
This kid go soon blow o! We dey talk am now and some people dey feel say na "English hype".

komekn:
Meanwhile that was over two years ago a VERY LONG TIME in football.

He has improved IMMENSELY beyond from the time he was literally an academy player. He went on loan to then League two Wycombe Wanderers and did very well the rest is history.

So what on earth are we WAITING FOR he is three times the player he was when he trained with the SE.

Rohr is not stupid. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but what if someone at the technical committee is blocking his invite?
The excuse of him playing in the championship doesn't cut it. Ajayi got an invite so why shouldn't he? We need an alternative to Iwobi and Eze fits the bill the most.

komekn:
There should be nothing like makeshift this is the national team not club football. There are no excuses, once you are called to play position you play it to the required standard.

In the AFCON he played as a RB you cant then say that because it's not his normal position we should accept mediocrity.

Unfortunately l didn't watch the match so l don't feel obliged to join the Hallelujah train.

I watched matches the same matches with many people here and thier view of particular players was Over-inflated.

I watched the Leicester match with Luton and the way they talk about KC you would think he was Neymar.

Awaziem is our second best ball playing CB after Leon.

tbaba1234:
Eze has not played any competitive game, he does not need a switch. Rohr is just ignoring him.

Which is weird considering he singled him out when we had that meet up in England.
Maybe NFF IS putting it off.

solonnachi:
The Super Eagles list has been compromised by NFF. Anderson Esiti and Shehu Abdullahi are the two viruses in that team. Just for the records

Don't know why Esiti is back. He should've giving Zuby a call if he's looking for a DM.
WE should be looking for another creative presence. I hope Eze is amongst the guys that signed the change of allegiance document or whatever.

I would've preferred a creative mid over Esiti. Guess Rohr doesn't see Azeez as a DM.
Good to see Olayinka getting a call up and Bonaventure getting a second chance. Would've liked to see Maja but maybe next time.
Sad with what is happening to Leon Sha. He's still our best ball playing CB and we more than need that as we lack a proper DLP.

timay:
And yet he's in the FIFPro 11

Oga na De ligt get am

FIFPro 11 was a joke. Marcelo, Modric and Ramos making the team while the likes of TAA, Robertson, Mane and Salah were left out killed the legitimacy of the award.

Danielnino00:
De Light and Sancho are favorites for the award....
But it's good to see Chuks .. He might just scope the African youth player of the year award

Yep alongside Havertz and Joao Felix.

andrew444:
Di ligt?

Sancho, Havertz, Joao Felix and De ligt are the the top 4 Imo.
De ligt poor start might count against him

andrew444:
I dey wonder wetin him name dey find there

Wetin e don play self?

LOL I'm surprised as well.

Last last, Na either Sancho or Havertz go win am.

andrew444:
Dele bashiru is there?

5th name on the list. It's in alphabetical order

Samu and Dele Bashiru named as nominees for Golden Boy award...

Gentlewarrior1:
Someone tell Rohr and Nff to do everything within their means yo get Tomori

Forget about that mumu tammy abraham.

Naijas biggest challenge is defence. All our defebders are bang average. No need to respect Ekong and balogun. Oyinbo wall is a farce

There is also one top rated defender in germany. I think he is in bayern or so


The best players deserve to be called no unnecessary mumu sentiments or respect.

I'm seriously afraid England might cap that guy. Southgate always rewards good form. We need to move quick!!

tbaba1234:
I am not sold on him yet.

He'll come good. He also started off slowly at Lille till he had that crazy 18 month period.
Emery isn't helping things as well.

TheSuperNerd:
Another member of your Arsenal fans club, Edi287, would still disagree....

Of course I will. Dude is better than Iwobi. The guy never settle in yet.

Christology:
Pepe is a high budget iwobi , because of his end product.(goals) which iwobi lacks.

Once Pepe settles down, many people will eat a huge slice of humble pie.
It's obvious what the guy brings to the team when hes on form.
Besides even if Iwobi was kept, he'd be playing on the left side, not the right.

elyte89:
Anybody dt gets invited from d midfield, d first victim will b esiti ,while any new striker maybe if olayinka produce another sterling performance in uefa champions league again,den nacho will b dropped

Don't forget Esiti was Ndidi's replacement

charlesemeka85:
Saw online few minutes ago that the new sports minister is in talks with tomori and Abraham. Don't knw how true the story is

They need to stop wasting time with Tammy. Dude has his heart set with England. Tomori, Eze and Lookman are the 3 English born players I'm interested in at the moment.
WE get those 3 and we'll have quite the squad with massive massive upside

jihday:
So those of you always insinuating that Rhor is getting his salary as at when due or the NFF doesn't treat him like they treated past coaches because the old man no dey go media go cry the below is for you

No vex. I didn't see this. My bad...
