I read an interview by on ex nff chief at score Nigeria.com about our chances in Dis coming world cup.I would want d the Supernerd to bring out d story for us to deliberate on it

Mujtahida:
They are arguing it ooo. They say it can never happen. That once you are declared fit it means you are absolutely fit. One moniker even went as far as saying Rohr must be an idiot, a fool, a stupid man to play a possibly not fully fit Ebuehi.

Thank you for reminding me of the bandage on Zidane's knee. I vividly recall.

Even our own Keshi played matches with injury not to talk of fitness. Oliseh came from hospital to play in our Afcon match in 2000 against Senegal.

These things happen regularly.

In Ebuehi's case though Rohr should be blamed cos it was just a friendly and Aina was on the bench.

Boss to kill d argument off,d best striker player ever Ronaldo de Lima played thru pain barrier through out d competition in Korea/Japan 2002,despite playing with injury, he came out tops in d goal scoring chart with 9goals


He was even interviewed later DT he purposely had d hair cut to distract other opponents from d injury crisis he had so as not to b victimize

Mujtahida:
I tell them that players play matches even when they lack full fitness. They say it's impossible but Zidane and Beckham were not fully fit and they both played in the 2002 WC for their respective teams and underperformed.

Ehn na,Boss Mujtahida,are some monikers arguing it?there re several players who played with pains barrier(injections) na,so many set,but d d one we can remember vividly was zidane,he played the 3 matches in Korea/Japan 2002 with obvious bandage on his leg,

Read somewhere DT KANU too wants to draw inspiration from WEAH and contest for 2019,if d guy try am.....he won't win his "PARLOUR CONSTITUENCY" LET alone of winning its ward ,Nigerian Politics is way different.I doubt if any ex-player can win d hot seat here.

Dis one una dey argue abt d money,aw much una go collect

safarigirl:
who are these ones? How can you omit Musa and put these pretenders?

If I were to b d one,if dere's A SUPPORTERS LIST going to RUSSIA, D MYOPIC,LOW I.Q MUSA would head d supporters list ,not d team list

I hope this settles all the arguments.. a 35 man list has enough room for most of those we are clamoring for.

Boss joebie,are u trying to pacify all factions on dis thread with ur list

Even if u draw up to 100man list,I will personally protest against some names like AJAGUN,MARTINS,ALUKO ,we must go against boss komekn and boss forgiveness players

komekn:
Agreed.

What I am saying is not automatic selection but testing and assessment and let the best players come in.

What could be more objective than that.

I remember certain Roger Miller a true old man over forty that became the toast of the 1990 World cup.

But players we are talking about are putting in consistent performances in top clubs not backwater clubs and leagues.

I knw say u go agree boss komekn when u don hear one of ur candidates MENTIONED ,ABEG THE SUPERNERD ONE MEME

We re in trouble....O.MARTINS HAVE SCORED HAT TRICK


Baba forgiveness and boss komekn go too yan today

safarigirl:
to be fair, the call for Dessers, did not come because of one match.

It has been on since the boy declared and it is justified as far as I'm concerned. It is not a pull a rabbit out of the hat call

So safarigirl,because he has declared, he shld automatically be invited,what abt those who av declared by "DEFAULT ",I.e Nigerian players playing home and abroad ,let him be invited base on performance,not because he declared for us,IGBA NAH NKO

daveP:
He is putting Dessert and Joel in the same shoes And that's not proper. Joel.


If you want to pull up Dessert then apply same to Aluko as well. See no reason why both can't get a chance if we truly want what's best for this blunt attack we are having.

No b only Dessert ,Na arid land

Mujtahida:
Thread has become like a market. One screams Aluko, another shouts Obagoal, another cries Dessers, another hoots Kalu, another belts out Adi. A welter of voices and calls. Tell me if you are a coach without a plan, without resolve you will follow the stream of confusing voices and when you fail the same people will blame you.

Just one match!

D law,every one here knws including u,dt we need to add 2 to 3 players to dis squad most esp d A.M and to a large extent C.F...and I would still want AMBROSE TO B GIVEN A LOOK IN at d back

Humility017:
how possible is it for him to come back prior the world cup....?
in medicine ....is it possible for that ailment to be healed....

Don't rule out PRAYERS,WITH PRAYERS ,All things Are possible

Joebie:

hahaha. Of course we prefer him. But would you rather field him?

D cancer won't make him a rookie,he would b only match rusty,just few practice matches in training coupled with 2/3 consecutive games,he would be 50percent OK,and once he's 50percent OK,he would b better Dan uzoho ,even if d latter doesn't sleep at all,all he does his training

tbaba1234:
Carl Ikeme is still targeting a world Cup appearance according to Fox Soccer.

Even if he is cured of Cancer today, it will take a long time for him to get into the right physical shape..

No matter aw bad is physical shape is,I would prefer him to akpeyi and uzoho combined

markfemisgay:
Why is rohr not looking into Cyril dessers direction.

Cyril dressers...another MIKEL AGU LOADING

safarigirl:
Iwobi's fourth goal against Argentina was from a cross whipped in by Musa.

Safarigirl...abeg let's move on from dis argies match, part of d main reason we over hpyed,over expected too much from our team ,abeg let's make reference from d Serbia match, if a team defeats us 4-nil in dis world cup,are we still going to find succour/consolation from d argies match

komekn:
The basis for call up is not sentiment.

But consistent top quality performances in your club the better the league and better the club the more valid your claim for invitation.

In all honesty the reason we still have KC and Musa in the team is we simply have very few quality strikers. Otherwise both of them by club form would simply be dropped.

2NDED!THIRDED!!!....MOST ESPECIALLY DT MYOPIC MUSA

klexycole:
Just a loss, and the thread is dry. Lol

Boiz don shift focus

Such a MYOPIC DECISION

MetalJigsaw:
Bros I no go lie for you... e dey do me like say make I scatter guilder bottle for ya head.

Boss Metaljigsaw ....any small thing u wan break bottle for person head,


E b like say u don collect one N.U.R.T.W POST FOR OSHODI

Cc...boss chriskels, join me to congratulate him on his new post

Kog45:
Sir there is one thing we should get here regards eagles invitation, any Nigerian playing competitive football regardless of his age has every right to eagles if Rohr extend invitation to him.

If anyone is suggesting Austin Ejide,Aiyenugba or Enyeama,good cos they are still active but left for Rohr to decide as a coach.

If Rohr believe it's Uzoho good for the team and if he believe there is need to call Ejide and Aiyenugba even Enyeama all well and good,what matter most is our performance.

Sir are you saying we are going to WC to build for future cos am hearing this tone often on this thread,some are even saying our performance doesn't matter and Rohr should be given life contract.

I think this is our sixth WC attempts and i will not deceive you Nigerians are expecting clear cut performance from eagles,anything short of this is not acceptable,forget the team is for the future slogans.

Truly we have a very young squad that will give us a good platform for 2022 WC but not an excuse for poor performance at WC.

I remember Senegal went to 2002 WC with relatively young team and reached quarter final even defeated France the defending champion.So we can do it too cos the talents are abound.

I think the team is evolving and i know Rohr as a season coach will do thorough appraiser of the friendlies matches played so far to address the grey area for better performance.

I don't knw what we re building, we av been building since d days of chukwu-shuaibu-keshi-and u still want us to hide under d disguise of building,are we building a NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY ,dt is always under construction?

Even d German,he used as an example got to d semi -final of 2006 edition. Fans re expecting much from dis team.we re tired of building, even d captain said it few months back during his interview dt,its high time dey gave a good account of demselves in dis world cup

tbaba1234:
Another thing that was obvious to me was that Rohr was testing out different strategies... Against Poland, we were pressing.. Against Serbia we were not. Double pivot vs single pivot...etc...

Boss tbaba1234.. We all knw u love super eagles,but at dis junction we don't av to sugarcoat d truth


We didn't press Poland at all,dey had d better ball movement, if not for vicmo penalty, we only had one shot on target, wc was Ighalo's header...d team was poor generally,no link up play BTW d midfield and attack,d only positive of dt match was ekong and balogun been able to keep lewandoski at bay,even though he had some clear cut chances to bury d game if not for d bar and uzoho save

Serbia exposed us big time, we were disorganized from d back to midfield to attack,we couldn't string up to three to five passes together, loosing possession at will,d midfielders come into suspect in dis aspect

D attack was blunt since it was spear headed by a MYOPIC,BEREFT MUSA,to make it worst,d midfield didn't supply him any pass.ighalo came in d second half,tried his best and just one shot on target against Serb and dats all

The truth is if d TECHNICAL CREW fails to correct d obvious lapses we av in d team judging from d two games,we re going to struggle at d world cup,to some extent we might not surpass d group stage.

Icon79:
Meanwhile, let me reveal the names of 18 players who are guaranteed a place in the Super Eagles world cup squad, injuries aside:

1. Francis Uzoho
2. Ikechukwu Ezenwa
3. Abdullahi Shehu
4. Joel Obi
5. Tyroone Ebuehi
6. Brian Idowu
7. Leon Balogun
8. Troost Ekong
9. Chidozie Awaziem
10. Wilfred Ndidi
11. John Obi Mikel
12. Oghenekaro Etebo
13. Eddy Onazi
14. John Ogu
15. Alex Iwobi
16. Kelechi Iheanacho
17. Victor Moses
18. Odion Ighalo


O pari

Obi and awaziem is a 50/50 stuff

forgiveness:
Odion Ighalo had shots on goal.

Na musa boss chriskels dey talk abt

ChrisKels:
Lol elyte89 mibros did u see ur man striking for us yesterday. He couldn't even manage a single shot on goal, not even an off target shot

Musa the headless chicken was a minus one

Na yeye Musa b,I don't knw y oda peeps are quiet abt his performance yday,so ABYSMAL

Martz101:
Mikel this...mikel that, he won't play the 11 wings, the time you guys realise a better team can beat you irrespective of who place, the better for us, Mikel might add some advantage but he wont only save us from been beaten.

Mikel is not as influential as Okocha when he was in the team, we still get beaten even at his best

Abi o,any small thing, na Mikel,I think his presence on d pitch of play will also solve our G.K crises

darkelf:
Just listening to amaju pinnicks interview on brila fm

He said that Ahmed Musa playing for 90mins was one of the high points of the game.

SMH. Someone whose continual invitation is shrouded in mystery.

My elders in the house, who can explain why we keep giving invitations to this guy?

I said it earlier dt d only thing the MYOPIC,BEREFT MUSA DID on d PITCH WAS to collect d ARM BAND FROM ONAZI

Sir Chriskels and I use to mention it on dis thread MUSA FOOTBALL I.Q IS SO LOW.D guy has never impressed me b4 in GWG JERSEY, ASYDE D TWO GOALS he scored against argies,even though we lost.

Dt guy no b am,ko mo anything PLAY RARA,all we will be hearing abt his attribute is PACE AS IF he was on d PITCH TO RUN 100M SENIOR BOYS RACE ,OLODO PLAYER, VERY MYOPIC

Mujtahida:
Put Aguero, Saurez, Griezman, Lukaku in that our front line and they will still not score. Where was the supply? I can only call an attacker bad where chances was coming and he failed to convert any.

D law...ighalo is d only striker we av at d moment considering d style/formation of our play.we all knw kc won't thrive very well as a lone striker,dt was y I recommended a back up for ighalo

We need to drop one of d DM


We need to shop for an AM in case Mikel gets "onazi" treatment at d world cup


Look for a potent 9,let's try Osimhen,any gud 9 in our league aside Anthony okpotu, or any oda good 9 in Europe


And who says ideye and success can't gate crash,with what d recent wingers are playing,are dey better dan success

tbaba1234:
Ebuehi is better technically.

We will see the big difference when Mikel returns to the team.

Y is everybody shouting Mikel
,Mikel at times too can b disappointing, BTW,aw would mikel's presence on d pitch affects Ebuehi play ,any small thing Mikel

Na small remain sef make we talk say if MIKEL RETURNS,OUR SUPPORTERS ON D STAND TOO WILL SUPPORT US BETTER

Wc one is 2-nil is better Dan 6-1


What's d difference BTW E8 and F9
