Leave out Iheanacho!!! Nacho was injured for almost the entire 2014/15 season while Solanke did his goal-scoring business.

Nacho's only appearance before his return towards the season's end was a less than 15 mins cameo before he picked up a serious injury in the Uefa youth league. (He only featured for less than 11-15 mins in the Uefa youth league--- On page 113, you made it look like he featured in the whole competition because Solanke finished top scorer #smiles).



On his return he banged in 6 goals in 7 games (plus scoring against Solanke's Chelsea in a game- the 2nd leg- Solanke didn't even score. Chelsea won 2-1 and 5-2 overall I think? To lift the FA Youth League cup..... Nacho didn't even play the first leg. He only played the 2nd and that was his only appearance in the FA Youth League cup)...

When it comes to Solanke and your absurd comparisons with Nacho.... You don't give the whole facts!!!!!! Just because you wanna make Solanke look too good comparatively..... Not good Sir!

Solanke is no match when both are at the peak of their powers..... Mr. Forgiveness Solanke. #smiles

I'm still watching.... Keep your eyes open. #winks

TheSuperNerd:
We took six defenders to Atlanta 1996 NOT 5. And Siasia took 6 to 2008 Beijing Olympics. Some reports say 7.

TheGoodJoe:

The question was why did we substitute Amuzie for Echiejile. I said, the coach might have wanted a wing back to offer more forward.

I also said I disagreed with the change because a creative player will offer more. I stressed that was the wrong change. Over and over again. I said we needed the likes of Nacho and Iwobi in.

With the announcement of Amuzie's knock, it showed two injuries, Etebo and Amuzie messed up Coach Siasia's substitutions.

TheGoodJoe:

In the games against Egypt, his job was to stop Salah. It was simple as that and his Defensive show was impressive. I think the media downplayed the strength of Salah and expected to much from Amuzie.

Icon4s:
Looks workable to me. But will Siasia drop Amuzie then?

Icon4s:
No. I said, Ndidi would b a DMF and an additional Wing Back, asides Madu and Abdullahi, b introduced to still make it 5 defenders.

TheGoodJoe:

I want to check him out. I remember, we expected Benjamin Francis who played against Italy to play that role but Benjamin Francis injured. I remember thinking it was a disaster for us but Manu's solid performance filled that void.

Icon4s:
Why should u remove Ndidi from d defense for Abdullahi? Both are utility players and every coach would want to have such players in his team.

Icon4s:
Firstly it is Omeruo nt Omerue.

I like ur criteria of Versatility and experience. I agree with 4 out of ur 5 defenders. Bt I would rather include Ndidi as a DMF and get an additional Wing back. Ndidi as a DMF on d list would also serve as a back up CB.

I said 4/5 bc Shehu Abdullahi to me is ahead of Moses Odubajo.

Kingsley Madu is currently Nigéria's best LB.

The experience btw Omeruo and Balogun makes them a very good pair.

For now, my best starting backline is Abdullahi, Balogun, Omeruo, Madu.

Icon4s:
Do you know since when Shehu has been a senior international? He featured prominently in the 2014 CHAN during Keshi. He was one of our best players in that tourney.

That guy has a lot of senior team experience o. Aftera all u cited experience and versatility as ur criteria. Shehu can play RB, DMF and CMF.

Icon4s:
Husshh. I thought this was a new development.

Icon4s:


This man u are too funny.

Icon4s:
I am talking of real senior duties.

Icon4s:
Season dey end May.

Icon4s:
If u say Shehu Abdullahi has no experience at all, is it Odubajo hu has never been involved in any international match?

I will pick Andullahi and even Sincere Seth before even considering Moses Odubajo

TheGoodJoe:

I was still browsing on it. He played six straight but came in as a sub in the last one and had a good show. I just read it and I was about to post it.

From the link I posted from CyberEagles, you can certainly see played. It is my mistake.

Either way, the boy has really tried. Reading more about Amuzie, I can see he is making big strides in returning. I think that was why Coach Siasia pulled him out early.

fridayjimoh2:
Please can you educate me further?

Who amongst the defenders you chose are good at taking set-pieces?

Who can play long range-shots?

Amuzie: I picked up an ankle injury against Egypt
By Olakunle Brown

New Super Eagles left-back Stanley Amuzie has revealed that a knock to his ankle was responsible for his substitution against Egypt before apologizing to Nigerian fans following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2017 African Cup of Nations.

The Samson Siasia led side lost 1-0 to the Pharaohs of Egypt courtesy a lone strike by Ramadhan Sobhy which effectively ruled Nigeria out of the biennial tournament for the second consecutive time.

The Olhanense of Portugal defender was replaced at half-time by Elderson Echiejile and many thought it was for tactical reasons but he has revealed that his substitution was due to a knock he picked up during the first half of the game.

“I was substituted during the game at half-time due to a little knock on my ankle,” he wrote on his official Facebook page. “We wished the result could’ve turned out differently but God knows best. We are so sorry and promise to get it right again.”

He added: “I thank you all for the support and prayers even though we didn’t qualify. We are sorry and looking up to a bigger one ahead.”

Group G was left with three teams after Chad withdrew and the victory of Egypt over the Super Eagles gave them the sole ticket in Group G over Nigeria and Tanzania.

TheGoodJoe:

What you keep leaving out in your 169 minutes/six starts is that Amuzie was injured. After he returned, he started six straight matches.


By Patrick
SMH!!! Amuzie has played 6 games after returning from Injury. http://ca.soccerway.com/players/stanley-amuzie/435681/

Aminu is one of the best Nigerian players in Europe, won like 4 MOTMs this season and there is no way he will not be ranked among top 20 Nigerian players in Europe.

What about Musa Muhammad?

In Blackalbino6's voice, where is Amuzie

RevDesm0ndJuju:
The Duara goat has started putting pressure on the Ghanian govt for rightly refusing his fellow criminal Fulani herdsmen from entering Ghana freely.

This move by the Ghanian govt is to have all entering Ghana to be documented.


ECOWAs still remains a free migration zone for all member states.

The Ghanian govt hopes to ensure only those with legal passports can enter Ghana and that they must be documented !

Most of you on nairaland have no single trace of cognitive reasoning and can't seem to understand what this new immigration policy by Ghana is meant to curtail.


ECOWAS, if I must remind you does not have sovereignty over any of it's member states!


West Africa is not some liberal cesspit EU that allows millions of undocumented migrants in!

Use your brains for once!

TheGoodJoe:

NFF still show their talents in interfering with the coach's plans. If the foreign coach they want to employ wants to work with Okocha, why stop him. The Coach has his tactician and team on ground. He is not looking for a tactical crew. The Coach has his reasons why he wants Okocha. Stopping the coach's plan is wrong.

amagunnerfan:
Iwobi ahead of Iheanacho? I haven't seen this Dominic ( or do you mean Solanke? ) play but even if Iheanacho doesn't play as the striker, he will bench Alex Iwobi for sure ( and I am a die hard Gunner ).

amagunnerfan:
I have always known the boy as a striker. Even in the Netherlands when he was on loan with Chelsea' feeder ( or sort of ) team, he was played upfront.

Solanke I have never seen play and won't judge him but he dominated the youth league scoring 46 or there about goals[b]. In the same league where Alex Iwobi played. Different positions but 46 goals No be beans abeg[/b].

BlackAlbino6:
[color=#000000]You know deep inside your mind that Coach Samson Siasia must go with Amuzie, no two ways about that pending any injury or drop in form. The guy deserves a spot in the Olympics team.[/color]

_{I just hope this is true. CAF must welcome Chad back}

Oga forgiveness and other stakeholders don rush this thread go page 5 na waoo. Maybe by the time the world cup begins, we must have been on page 200
