TheSuperNerd: NB: Keep ignoring Dem low lives Nerdie.... Not worth your attention at all... All they know is how to hate on others while their lives lay in tatters and mediocritic state... SMH...
Meanwhile, let me feed your eyes with some of the beastly talents of this lad called Chukwueze likely to make his NT debut against Uganda in the Tuesday friendly....
ohhhhhh myyyyy dayyyssss, how was that messsiiiliikkeee dribble not a goal! Demmmmm! This boy with dedication and focus will become world best in few years to come. Amazing class right there
Keshi drew Iran, he was lucky against Bosnia. He went to a world cup tournament with players like Gabriel, Uchebo etc. If you want to mention a good coach please do not call keshi. He was just a lucky coach. As much as I do not really like Rohr he has done a very good job. No Mikel, no Moses, no Ndidi, no Ighalo, no Shehu, no Aina, no Ebuhei No Problem!
During Keshi time the bench were made up of suspect players.
joseph1013: I have no doubt that Keshi would have qualified from that group.
Croatia was not spectacular in our game. Croatia grew into the tournament. Keshi would have won the match at best, and drawn at the worst, dispatched Iceland and possibly draw with Argentina, who are at the worst in a long time.
You guys need to remember that the 2018 Eagles were the most cohesive and happiest set in about the last 40 years.
In 2014, the team was going to the game against France fighting NFF about money. As at match day, players were still grumbling.
Rohr might still not have qualified in a group having Argentina, Bosnia and Iran.
Man, we we're lucky against Bosnia. Dezco goal should have stood. Our goal shouldn't have stood, that was a clear foul on Bosnia defender by Emenike leading up to that goal. Who took us to the confed cup?
Alfryd: south Africa dey always want to be 9ja rival in everything(apart of football) dey may Even be parading them self as the second GIANT of Africa,whereas we have Egypt over them,LOL
chimzyblack: The 3-5-2 formation that rohr has selected is very good but playing kalu as a right wing back is my only worry, he doesn't offer much cover defensively. I would have preferred Moses Simon in his place. And ezenwa who has not been playing regularly gets a start today? my preferred lineup
Akpeyi
balogun- Ekong- omerue
Simon -Etebo- Ogu - collins
Iwobi
Iheanacho Musa
Replace Simon with Aina (Although Aina has not been impressive for the Eagles at RB. However, I think a 3-5-2 formation will bring the best out of him. Replace Nacho with Success. We are good to go. We switch to 4-3-3 in the second half by bringing on our pact wingers to wear them out. Victory is assured. Krattos you have nothing to fear. lol.
ChrisKels: Like I told u guys last month that Ademola's paper works were already in progress, Rohr just confirmed in a recent interview that the report wasnt outta place.
”I already asked the NFF to start the process of making both Lookman and Ojo to be able to play for the Super Eagles a month ago”
Lest I forget, Ademola is another success story of the team Nigeria U.K headed by David Doherty.
Waoo, good news. Quality and Exceptional talent. I am so happy
charlesemeka85: spot on bro, we must not wait for this kids to reach stardom before talking to them. who know this kid may turn out to be a superstar in the nearest future and by then it may be difficult to lure him because the English FA will take notice and incorporate him to one of their youth teams. nigeria is the surest bet for him and the nff should seize the opportunity ASAP. being a a first team player at the age of 18 in an epl club signifies he has the qualities to make it in professional football.
For me, he should exercise patience and wait for Nigeria. And if Naija fails, he can switched back to Ireland.
Taliban: Hope he has heard the modern African version of the proverb, a bird in hand.
I think he is still young and he does not need to be rushed in making a rash decision that might affect him in the future. Ireland is not England, France or Germany that will qualify for every tournament.
Nairaland no go kill me with laughter oo. This is nairaland, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Why get upset with a simple joke and go all out emotional. Then turning around to accuse one with divergent opinion of same thing you are guilty of. I am not here to be a YES boy. Chikena!
Emotional? lolll! I thought I asked a very simple question. Ighalo has done well for himself. You cannot put all the blame on him. Only Musa stepped up and only God knows the amount of criticism Musa endured before the world cup. Ighalo is winning now abeg free the young man loll.
ChrisKels: What correlation does the bolded have with our topic of discussion? It reeks of puerility and makes u look outta sorts hence grasping at straws.
Nota bien; make this a raillery and avoid unnecessary provocative jibes even when u try to straggle, otherwise, I walk away
Now back to our topic, Success is ready, Musa thrives better playing up front, Iheanacho, Odey and Osimhen are options
Your post reel of pure sentiments and hatred towards Ighalo. All those names you mentioned in what way are they better than Ighalo? In what league are they playing in? how many goals do they have to their names consistently for 2-3 seasons? Thank you
ChrisKels: In England, he was a flash in the pan. A one season wonder. He couldn't sustain the tempo hence felled outta favour and then ran away to Asia. About joining United(that's if that news was anything to go by), he would have been United's own version of Lambert who also flattered to deceive, and still managed to scam Liverpool.
Alright, I hear you. Who do you suggest then to propel us going forward. Before, I forget your much overhype Ivorian Serrie is on the bench for Fulham.
ChrisKels: When I say those goals na wash una think say I dey hate on the boy. Defense in the Chinese league is a very big joke, hence the exploits of the strikers there are flukes. Chinese leagues dont invest in the defense unlike in the midfield and attack where they pack some over used players from Europe. All u hailing Ighalo's goals in China are funny and cant see beyond ur noses. Like I always say, Ighalo's little purple patch wt the Eagles lately and his romance with Rohr is like a pig on lips stick. Ighalo aint what we need to propel us. Do you even know how many goals a crap wing forward like Frank Acheampong of Tianjin Teda has banged in since moving to China? A player who couldn't manage a double digit in as many seasons while in Belgium with Anderletch.
Lol I laf in swahili bkus Teda (mikel's club) is also on the edge despite Acheampong's goals.
See Ighalo, see Rohr
He proved himself in England. So you have nothing on him. He would have been a Manchester United player if not for the sacking of Vaan Gaal.
tbaba1234: Omeruo is playing now... Hopefully, he can make this move permanent. No more Turkey loan moves.
I am so happy for him. Hope he does. With Odubanjo back we are spoilt for choices at the back. If only Rohr had been proactive enough Eze would have added depth to our midfield which is SE 's only Achilles heel
I cried after that Di Maria goal, the match was pre-dawn. Di Maria broke my heart and also earned my respect that day
However my strong dislike for the Argies was 2005 U20 final! Dear Lord!
2005 U20 final, My goodness! My dislike for Messi originated from there. Any team Messi plays in, I always wish them bad. However, you cannot hate a man who is specially skilled in his work for long.
Curtisaxel7: Well said. Kalu - Musa - Onyekuru is a good idea. But you know Rohr likes his strikers big and physically imposing. Especially against African opposition. So I'm guessing he'd go for Kalu - Success - Musa.
It is so easy to guess Rohr's line up. He is not a creative coach. I agree with 100%.
Iheanacho has been disappointing in recent times in the National Colours. Rohr will not play Nacho has 10. Never! He seems to have lost confidence in the young man.
cc12: I have rated Chukwueze from the first match i saw hiim play in the 2015 FIFA U-17 world cup against the USA, I knew the boy was special, I didn't rate Kalu when i started following him when he was in AS Trencin in Slovakia, but now I rate him a bit bit he still has a lot of areas to work on.
Kalu is a Vicmo type of player. Sometimes lethargic and lazy! Often times exceptional. Chukwueze! is a Messi, Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Okocha type, they just enjoy playing the game.
