It’s good for our strikers competition

I just hope you aren’t trolling nacho

Tolulopefinest:
Lol. This man, did you even watched the match?
, see as you are praising Osimhen to high heaven . I was just laughing while reading this your epistle. Or did I watched another match . At a point I started dozing off sha cos Osimhen hardly even touched the ball. Did Napoli even get any channel in the match not to even mention penetration .
Take am easy bro. The only time Osimhen usually get the ball is when the keeper plays the ball inside from a goal kick spot, and in the most part of the match, Chelili wins the aerial battle. Nothing more. What those two center backs for Napoli did today, I doubt if koulibaly would have done anything different.

mostob:
France had better strikers with better stats than Giroud yet Giroud got the spot. Giroud didn't have a single shot on target during the World Cup but he still played almost all their matches. I understand our wingers need to start scoring goals but replacing them just like that might not work out the way we want.
National team is different from club.
A player may score 20 goals for his club but struggles to score 1 goals for his national team.

Every Nigerian that finished secondary school has a good command of English.

Me sef, I don't know what happened in between. Remember that he scored 2 Hattricks in pre season? And he was fairly good prior to the injury. Anyway, let's keep our faith Alive even the likes of drogba didn't had the best 1st season

andrewbaba44:
Everybody expects Napoli to win all their games because osimhen plays there as if Italian teams are bad or what ,even psg self no Dey win all games again for farmers league

The moment Napoli fail to win against a team like Atlanta they label them Poor immediately

Kalu is also in form. Chuks was also in form before his groin injury.

Dennis is in form too. An Incoming Lookman is also in form.

It's only Moses Simon that I would say isn't in such form but then that means Nwakaeme >>> Simon for you in the next list right ?

Also it means Musa, the captain have to make way to accommodate Nwakaeme.

Like I already said before... Nwakaeme will only be considered again for another SE shot if few of our other options go missing through suspension or injury. It's that simple.

andrewbaba44:
Maybe they have problem with the age

It has always been hard to see a naija player doing well at 31

TheSuperNerd:
People are happy for Henry now only because of the hard time he had at Monaco. That's the reason for the attention he gets now.
Nwakaeme has been scoring and assisting in the Super Lig but has Rohr bothered to look his way? No.
Is it because the lad is not good? I don't think so. It just has to do with the fact Rohr will rather pick other wingers ahead of him plus he doesn't really fancy Turkey.

Onyekuru has been struggling to see game time of late at Monaco. Did Rohr ever consider him too? No.

He took him to the Afcon in 2019 but how many games did he even play? Haven't anyone realised that it looks like no matter what Henry does, that Rohr doesn't rate him as much.

Will Rohr consider him now that he is banging it for Gala in Turkey? Lol... Let the list come out and you will be surprised.

Truth is one of Henry or Nwakaeme will only make it if the wing options are limited due to injury and other unavailability reasons.

And I just told you Etebo is the only one Rohr will call from Turkey when our options are all available in all positions, so why asking where he plays? Lol... The statement already answered you.

But again, consider that Etebo had already established himself in Rohr's set-up even before his latest Gala move so that explains why he would likely get invited despite starring for Gala in same Turkey that Rohr doesn't really rate.

As for the Championship, the reason why Ejaria is being considered now is because he comes into a department where we clearly need more options. The Midfield.


I am only pointing out the reality in Rohr's selections because I have long known from a source that the man just doesn't seem to rate the Turkish League. So it's not like I'm even defending it. It's just me showing you the reality of Rohr's ways.

Personally, I also don't rate Turkey in general well enough but I do rate the Top 4 sides in Turkey well. Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Trabzonspor. Maybe by extension to a fifth, Basaksehir.

But Rohr doesn't seem to give a damn about any at all. Lol

And truthfully when you look at the wing options we have in better quality leagues than Turkey, you would probably cut Rohr some slack. Kalu, Chukwueze, Simon, Dennis, Lookman (Incoming), Ejuke are a handful to select from already. There is also upcoming Mukairu in Belgium. And don't forget Captain Musa... who has long proven himself in the team despite being in Saudi Arabia as recently as 2020.

So it's just the reality.

JohnBullMySon:
haha.. . indomie generation will not understand.

TheSuperNerd:
At bolded.... I hope you know you are exaggerating because Nigeria actually will make Top 10 in the world when it comes to Strikers Depth. Perhaps Basco took it a little too far saying Top 5 in terms of depth at the Striker/CF position and but he wasn't all that off point.

For Africa, no other nation comes close. Nigeria is easily #1 in Africa. No nation in Asia (AFC) or Oceania (OFC) comes close. Same as in the whole of Concacaf.
The only teams with more depth than Nigeria come from Conmebol and UEFA and they won't be more than 9 at worst.

If anyone wants proof, give me time and I will drop the comparative lists.

Now this doesn't mean we are World class. Nope. We aren't. This is just about the #9 role. And truly we have depth in this role.

I think he's talking about quantity and not quality

Subzero047:
I won't name the strikers of the other countries, believe what you want

TheSuperNerd:
A Super Eagles Striking options list without Onuachu is like a list of guns without AK47 or F-2000.

Osimhen remains our best #9 and for good reasons too... It's only injury + Covid that slowed down his season for now but Onuachu is our hottest and most in-form assassin in Europe. Sitting Second in the European Golden Shoe rankings no be bread and butter my people. Onuachu needs to be taken more seriously in here.

andrewbaba44:
He mentioned 6 strikers and don’t be surprised if we combine their league goals so far this season it won’t be up to 20

We love our players but it’s nothing to be proud of

If to say e remember to call onauchu maybe I for no talk this thing

Subzero047:
The funny thing is that none of these strikers of these strikers have gotten up to 10 goals in their respective leagues and you want to challenge for world stage

zicky:
Iheanacho is a far better player to ayoze perez

ChrisKels:
He was right, 4 Nigerians, not 5. Onomah is English, he is not needed. Like someone rightly said last year, if Onomah applies for change of nationality, the NFF should reject it, dude is below par

TheSuperNerd:
The same way you also "blindly" backed Ujah to Outscore and outshine Iheanacho in 2019/2020. Abi not so elyte?

Now you calling the show of support for Osimhen, Blind, too abi.

Anyway, what else do I expect from a man who fathers a son from Norway who doesn't even know him.

Continue....

12large1:
Look at how sensitive they're when osimehn Goal return is questioned even though no one said that he is a bad player. But, the same people will descend on Kelechi iheanacho even when he is not playing. I call it "selective criticism" make i hear anyone unfairly criticize iheanacho for here again. Anuofia!

TheSuperNerd:
Weekly Update on the Naija players in action every weekend and every other matchday will return as from next week. So bear with me abeg.

Meanwhile, the first Nigerian in action today will be Jamilu Collins in the Bundesliga 2.

He starts for Paderborn in their clash against Hamburg.
Chima Okoroji, also a LB, starts from the bench.

Who was the better right back Dani Alves or Cafu?

TheSuperNerd:
Hahahahahahaa.... I don miss this guy.

Elyte my man.... Your wits still dey intact.

andrewbaba44:
Sure as i agree with YAK

He did nothing wrong

As if naija will qualify if he had score that goal or we will win the world cup, if yak had score it will be a different ball game entirely

Nigeria fans need to learn how to watch football before high blood pressure go worry them finish

men if this is true then this will make us probably the deadliest squad on the continent
