I will advice d pro ighalo shld stop defending him henceforth... If we had resorted to playing him as an holdup/goeslow player,den we shld stop fielding him as a 9,we av over millions of players scattered all around d world, give another top 9 to proof his worth,


We get better players for mushin/okota/isolo axis dt can play better Dan ighalo,let's stop defending mediocrity..



Meanwhile pro iheanacho...abeg make una go find position for DT guy where he can b useful for us,he's confusing us including rohr and his coaching crew

forgiveness:
This bias analyses should stop here abeg.

There was no where Ighalo was offside if ball bounced back to him because he was onside before the free kick was taken.

He even did well to have positioned himself in the position the free kick struck the bar but was unfortunate the ball went in an awkward direction.

In regards to him expecting Awaziem to pass him the ball, how can we tell? Except we are just insinuating, nothing. Nothing more.


When you watch Manchester City or Barcelonia matches, you will notice players run into off side positions internationally to draw players to themselves to open space. That was exactly what Ighalo did when he drew 3 players to himself to allow Iheanacho had that enough space to take a shot.


Besides, I don't know when Ighalo became Ronaldinho or Messi that we expect him to create chances for him by dribbling the whole players to score when he not the aforementioned players.

The point is, we don't have a creative or attacking midfielder in the team that can create chances for strikers to score. All we have in the team were just passing side ways and backward with no through pass or creative play.

We should appreciate fact that Ighalo assisted a goal and scored a goal pending the time we have a credible and more reliable striker that can take his position.

U guys shld stop defending ighalo and iheanacho,dey re not just living up to d billings

Ighalo..in basconvelli,komekn,..voice, hold up play,no goal, na DT one we kan chop,his goal ratio for eagles is too poor,abeg make d guy go sitdown somewhere,na olodo

And for nacho,where exactly will he excel excellently well for eagles,he play 8,we no c am,play 9 for us @d tourney,just two shot on target,now he played 10 against a Seychelles where he ought to create chances and make a mark,heard he struggled again,shey na till when him keep for eagles ,b4 he excel

Earthquake1:
You're judging him based on one match

Don't forget that he has been playing well for the super eagles before this match and, the fact that he has yet to play a match for his clubside

Chief...it was sir chriskel and I DT first noticed dis idowu guy as d biggest scam in d history of 9ja football, followed by Bartholomew Ogbeche (bicycle kick guy),odas were still giving him d doubt based on his performance against argies(friendly match),DT idowu guy is good at nothing

If not for echiejile's deep in form,DT idowu guy no b am at all ,I prefer DT u-20 left back to idowu by miles

BascoVanVeli:
Camp is dull without Alex Iwobi. No goofy dancing, no snap chatting, no nothing.

Good den...total concentration


Meanwhile now DT onyekuru pic where he dribbled a player is now trending, I hope he won't fumbles tmao,and his fans will now start using d pic as a reference y he shld still get further call ups

komekn:
My first gut feeling is that he is not good enough but that's too simplistic, although that's what you would like to hear. So I will go deeper essentially because I know Wolves.

There are two main issues and they are not entirely all about football.

Since Nuno the new Portuguese manager came in with the under pinning of the super agent Mendes. There have been multiple complaints about the unofficial ownership of Wolves by Mendes.

https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/premier-league-to-scrutinise-wolves-link-with-jorge-mendes-1.3464960

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5991217/How-Wolves-Portuguese-players-Porto.html

http://www.sportbible.com/football/football-news-wolves-are-slowly-turning-into-the-portugal-national-side-20180724

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/apr/17/wolves-link-jorge-mendes-agent-premier-league-scrutiny

If you know anything about the business of football you will be able to understand the business model at work.

Essentially mist of the English players were frozen out of Wolves. They had to make way for better Portuguese players to come. Unfortunately there is a lot of argument about if they are better or not. But that's an argument with no end. One thing is clear Mendes is laughing all the way to the bank.

It's somewhat baffling Iorfa was winning MOTM awards as a teenager for Wolves. And was supposed to be thier star player come up from the youth ranks. It has been so bad they were not even allowed to train with the first team not even the U23. That's unprecedented in English football.

So why is he not playing first because he is not Portuguese and signed to Mendes. Then secondly there are other players possibly better than him.

Would Wolves be in the EPL without Mendes and all the millions invested probably not.

But my comparison is not with the experienced Portuguese international players in Wolves. But the players he is being passed over for in the SE.

That's the more pertinent question ❓

The media clips for those who may think I am making this all up.

Considering the football cloak and dagger politics going on at Wolves. It's very difficult to get a clear picture why he is not even on the bench. Admittedly he is in the main squad for the season. Will he play possibly in the cup games or if someone gets injured.

Otherwise he knows he's not wanted at Wolves by Mendes and his Manager Nuno.

Ogbeni,na u-17 boys we dey talk about now, abi u don't mind iorfa joining our u-17bois,I no even sure if baba go c shirt for dere self

Ajayi has actually been doing very well.

In fact, we talked about him on this page before he was invited. He merited his invite.

Aluko has not shown much recently to bring attention to himself. Aluko last season was average at best.

Chief...is d Saudi friendly match still on?

komekn:
Sone Aluko can not replace Iwobi ❓ Dominic Iorfa can not replace Ekong, there are several other options at RB.

No b only iorfa..y not Garry Neville :

JoebieII:
Even Lokosa will impress against Seychelles.. team when don chop 5 goals against Libya.. I hope our boys put quite a number of goals past them.. There might be some calculations to do somewhere down the road.

U re already downplaying his performance ahead of d match,even if he performs very well,because we re facing a very low rated team ,but am very sure u would b d first to roast him or d general team as a whole if he /they doesn't live up to d Billings


Match na match,don't downplay d effort

Danielnino00:
Eh..so this Nwakali argument never end...

Anyway, Nwakaki will b in camp tomorrow and after September 11, we will find out if his invitation was on merit or out of pressure. ..

super eagles is more attractive than the dutch national team currently so 9ja will be a better platform for danjuma to showcase his qualities in international football. i don't even see the dutch qualifying for the next euro. also the sudden rise of ebuehi and ekong will be a good step to emulate. kingsley ehizibue is currently regretting turning us down when rohr approached him sometime last year.

I won't gain anything doing DT,neida will my bank account rise if I praise both guys ahead of deir "full" debut for eagles.I would prefer to c dem first b4 giving dem d accolades dey truly deserve ,so many players have been hyped here b4,but failed to live up to expectation,from Mikel Agu to Idowu to Joel, and so on

I just hope dis onyekuru and kalu guy get to perform for us very well in GWG colors. ,with dis unreserved praises

fabyom:
Baba elyte, said baba don employ you as is campaign manager and u know tell me, abi.

Hahahah chief,buhari no sabi me o ,

safarigirl:
i am also talking about the North
Lumping in the North Central with the rest is wrong, this is like lumping in South South and saying East

Buhari took votes from the North East, he did not even get all of North West. His major stronghold is the North East.

Am not disputing dt fact with u.definitely,he can't get all d north west votes,but if we count d n/west,vote alone,buhari defeated PDP,even when d later rigged.he still won.


even with d north central votes u said,buhari got 30percent of d votes dere,if we were to count d north votes only,buhari would av been president since 2007...I think u noe get my point now,PDP has only defeated buhari with S/S,S/E,S/W, votes,CPC VOTES IN 2011 was an eye opener for d likes of Tinubu and other ACN members,dt if a man with no political clout in S/S,S/W,S/E under CPC could garnered "GENUINE 12MILLIONVOTES" ALONE den d power can b wrestled from PDP,dt an alliance can b formed,come together to defeat PDP who boasted dey would rule Nigeria for 60years and today
D alliance paid off.dey joined forces,dey matched PDP with Money,d likes of tinubu,rotimi amaechi,atiku financed buhari election wyle buhari used his own popularity in north to checkmate PDP. If not for d alliance,PDP would av won d election. Cos ever since buhari has been contesting under ANPP and CPC,he sparingly campaign in the south generally
He onlyy campaigned vigorousy in d north,believing d north votes can help him win d election.

I still maintain my stands no northerner can match Buharis popularity in d north even as it stands.despite d economic woos as at today 26/8/2019

safarigirl:
Buhari has never won the North block votes until 2015......he has won the votes from the North East..... The North Central particularly never favored Buhari until 2015. The combination of votes from North Central and South West are the votes that helped Buhari win.

Without those vital votes, he would have lost again. Buhari did not even win by a great margin compared to his loss in 2011, so, to be sincere, the man is not a highly rated as he is touted to be. His is a situation of the one eyed man being King in the land of the blind.

Safarigirl,am talking about north votes alone


If u can remember vividly dt d late yardua was about evacuating d aso rock saying dis is one of d worst election dt has ever took place in Nigeria,and his mind is not at peace on d election dt brought him into power.if not for obj intervention,he was ready to leave

If u remember d supreme court judgement in d case of yaradua and buhari,out of d 7judges,d 3 favoured buhari dt d election should b conducted again,3 against buhari and d only judge remaining was indifference.he later resolve to act on d delectoral reforms but his life didn't wait to witness d success

Am very sure of what am saying,those figures u c PDP claimed to get from n/west during obj,were rigged
Even yaradua dt came from d same state with buhari katsina,buhari defeated him hands down.

Go and check each state result from north,most especially Nwest and N/east,u re correct abt d north central,ever since he has been contesting from Anpp, to CPC,buhari do get at least a genuine "6million votes" from d north only,d last one against yaradua he got 12million votes from CPC...CPC we all knw don't av any much follower from south per say.


So buhari is d only living northerner with such political follower.

Mickael2:
I think you all are underestimating the effect of Buhari's spat with Nnamdi Kalu then. The fact of the matter is that the man managed to gather enough supporters, in fact about 90% of Igbo people scattered all across Nigeria are supporting him and that means they are against Buhari. In this analysis you gave now (although it actually looks correct) you have totally neglected the eastern and western parts forgetting that they too constitute voters and because of the kind of publicity this election is getting, the number of voters coming out from there would be twice as much as it was last election. I guess you are a proper northern resident because you broke it down very well. But let's take Kwankwaso for example, he will win Kano hands down and his support base in Kaduna too which I have seen is massive add to that the fact that Jonathan, the main voice of the South South would invariably be supporting anybody that the PDP presents while PDP's alliance with APGA means probably a clean sweep for any PDP candidate in the East, an alliance with the West is usually quite tricky but can be navigated since Buhari through Tinubu already disappointed the westerners so possibly a strong base in the West too then you will realise that Kwankwaso for example would have succeeded in breaking up the support for Buhari in the north whilst staking a claim in other parts of the federation and that's how elections are won.


forget those other pretenders

Buhari has always been winning kano eversince d time of obasanjo,yaradua and Jonathan

He won d north votes with ANPP,left ANPP when ANPP formed alliance with PDP under yardua/buhari election,he "formed" his own party called "
CPC"...and back to history, buahri has always won d north bloc votes,even d likes of obj couldn't defeat him in north,go and check d fact to prove me wrong,PDP has always won/rigged if I may say buhari with d bloc votes from S/west,S/south and S/east

So kwankwaso or no kwankwaso,buhari electoral value in kano and all oda N/west has always been high.,buhari is a "religion" in north forget..less I forget,kwankwaso was even d sitting governor when burahi won kano votes in his first trial under ANPP,and den kwankwaso was/is a PDP member den,so what re we saying

And now with buhari as incumbency, rigging/winning him out from swest is impossible,where buharis boiz are,d likes of (tinubu,Amosun(since d days of ANPP),fayemi,aregbesola factor in osun,rotimi akeredolu,ondo state)...u shld knw dt d bloc vote from s/west will be in favour of APC

Now let's move to S/S...APC just scored. Big political point in d transfer market by buying akpabio and also Edo gov(APC),rotimi amaechi factor in rivers,(remember he can't be rigged ridiculously in rivers like dey did in 2015),if I am correct self,d 3 present APC senators representing rivers has decamped to APC, and with dis,buhari shld at least get 35/40percent vote.WC I think is better in 2015 when he got 10percent s/south vote.NB..Rivers,Cross river and Edo state vote will b keenly shared.

Going forward...S/east buhari will still retain his 5percent @least...but I think with d money bag campaign and incumbency power, d 5percent vote in south east shld rise to 10/20percent vote from south east if dey play d "see and buy votes" and not "buy and see votes.. Infact We don't longer do "buy and see votes" again in Nigeria.and I trust our brodas in d east,dey love money,

In d north central....its a 50/50 thing for buhari,its eida ways,d likes of Benue,kogi,taraba,plateau,might not favor buhari, leaving him with nasarawa,abuja,kwara...anyway all he needs dere too its just 45-55percent vote

Now north...N/west,buhari will win massively with my explanation earlier, N/east....Same..

And we online voters dt love to analyse,we no get PVC,votes count in ballot boxes

Mickael2:
Why would someone still be supporting Buhari? Or are you suggesting that the election has already been rigged because that is the only way he could possibly stand a chance, but now even the people that could help him rig the election are against him. This election solely lies on who PDP presents as their flag bearer

Do u reside in Nigeria? And u follow d 9ja politics keenly?

Except u reside in Uk or Us, den I will accept ur view,since u re not on ground to knw exactly what is going on?

Who is lying to u dt,d fate of d next election solely lies on who PDP appoints as deir flag bearer


To start with,d PDP as a party is not serious,we av barely 6ixmonths to general election,yet dey avnt agreed on a consensus candidate, even d incumbent President has declared 2months back to show his seriousness

Now let's look at d PDP bigwig going for d presidential post @d moment. Critically, dey all av issues even at deir HOME BASE

IS IT ATIKU....if dt one contest against him wife self I doubt if he would win d HEAD OF D FAMILY ELECTION ,his electoral value even in his state can b checked

Is it SARAKI...who has been rejected everywhere,even in Ilorin and of recent,he was embarrassed at d oju ode oba while making his speech ,d crowd were chanting "sai baba"

Is it LAMIDO...no go area,no political clout in d s/w and s/e...and a bed ridden buhari will defeat him effortlessly in d North.. Fact

Is it Markafi/Ibrahim shekarau...same lamido fate goes with dem

Is it kwankwaso...who ordinarily has a big followership in kano,but after his defection to PDP,majority of his follower ship has abandoned him,anywhere he goes,dey chant sai baba instead of his name,even on eid day,he couldn't withstand d embarrassment he might faced at home(kano),so he decided to observe his eid prayers in EDO STATE.

IS IT TAMBUWAL....senator wammako is already showing him where his ppu belong to,am sure by now he would b biting his fingers

Havnt said dt,if d election is held tmao,BUHARI WOULD WIN WITH A WIDE MARGIN.

Even though I want a change in d GOVT,dt doesnt mean we shld ignore d obvious truth


Meanwhile for d likes of moghalu,durotaiye,sowore and co,I want to believe dis guys just want to b addressed as a FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE in d nearest future

Dey stand no chance against any of d PDP candidate listed,let alone of BUHARI,dts d bitter truth,I would b very surprise if any of deir parties get to win a WARD IN d next coming general election

Nigeria politics goes beyond gallivanting around world campaigning in Honolulu, Texas,Amsterdam, a style adopted by sowore. this ppu won't vote,d farmers in kano/baruten LG,d market women in osogbo market,d business men in mbaise, d cattle rearer in daura etc re d ones who will give u d bloc vote,ask dis ppu who d likes of moghalu,sowore and co is,dey don't knw dem
All dey knw is "BROOM AND UMBRELLA" and we dt knw dem,we support and vote online,while dey get deir PVCs and vote for deir choice.

Curtisaxel27:
I'll pick the Jamilu guy ahead of Idowu anytime, anyday. Jamilu is fast, can dribble, can join the attack, control the ball, and most importantly, can make decent crosses into the box from his natural left foot.

Idowu has none of the above characteristics. I can't remember a single cross or goalscoring opportunity that guy created thoughout the world cup. Forget Ighalo, Idowu and Shehu's lack of creativity cost us the WC.

Let's start the Jamilu guy abeg.

Let him start first....same thing too was said b4 idowu first appearance,even though d guy showed some glimpse of d attributes in his first match for Nija,but after den, wetin happen?

AIG07:
Just saw the list...
But I'm disappointed with the inclusions. Though it doesn't change anything.

I was hoping for 6new introductions. Rohr did well in making it 5. I don't have issue with the numbers and those dropped- it is understandable. My only concern is with the replacements.

What justifies the inclusion of players like KC Nwakali, a player from 2. Bundesliga etc...

Rohr seems to be enjoying his bromance with Ighalo, Joel, Akpeyi etc...

But wetin man go do.
Cc: Elyte89, Icon4s

As regards d quality of d players substituting d old guards, I feel rohr just want to av a closer look,2 or 3 players to redeem deir image,a person like ighalo and joel,from dere,he would begin his trial and substitute methods till we av something close to perfect he knows his first 11,

Hello everyone, Does anyone know when Rohr will release his list of 23 players for AFCON 19 Qualifiers.

I am so much interested in the list as it will speak volume and more on the Man-Rohr. It will tell/show us where we are heading to.

I won't b surprise cin 95percent of those who represented us at d worldcup...and if u ask me,it's a good decision...we can't just ease out 40percent of d players like DT,it could unbalance d team,2 to 3 players change effect from d worldcup list is ok.den from dere d coach can start phasing out d ones not fit for us
