Personal bias? Yes that's normal
But prejudice?
No

Wait until after AFCON before you judge Eguavoen's selections
Even at that, the spine of the team is already set
There won't be too many alterations except maybe in some key positions like LB, RB, CB and maybe CM/AM
We are well stocked in other areas
It will take a monumental effort from any player to displace what we already have in other positions

There’s prejudice against some players. That’s a known fact based on how these players were never given chance to prove themselves.

Give them chance the same way you gave these players because the “spine” of the team.

zuchyblink:
Russian league ranks higher than Cech league

That’s true.

I mistook Austrian league for Czech league. Thanks.

But Slavia Prague is ranked higher than CSKA.

ChrisKels:
The answer you seek for when it comes to Olayinka and Ejike has already been provided for you by your master. Oya check am below, considering that Olayinka had his chance before Ejike was ever considered for a look in. We never talk about Nwakaeme oo, na Olayinka you wan make we talk bhuhahahahaha

Which chance? Do you mean the 1 minute chance give to Olayinka?

Nwakaeme has not done better than Peter in the last two seasons. Why mention him?

Besides, he is playing in a lower league and lower club than Peter.

There’s prejudice and bias selection in the national team under Rohr and it seems the thread is about to continue with Eguavoen.

humility33:
Do u have a problem with ejuke

Dude has been the best winger in the last 3 matches he played for the super eagles

You simply evade criticising moses simon and now you're berating ejuke that have been better in this last 3 matches no coach will ignore such a player

Equeavon is wiser, intelligent and smarter than you when it comes to team management and tactics..
He obviously fancy Ejuke in the AM role like some persons here thats why he list him as an AM more over the presence of Ejuke in the wing role still will make us not miss Samuel Kalu badly

Why give Ejuke who is in a lower club and lower league chance ahead of Peter in a higher club and higher league in the first place?

Give others the chance before we conclude he is the best.


We know that was a smoke screen. Ejuke can’t fit into the AMF role immediately.

daveP:
A lot is abeg. I'm a looku fan, but I'd answer this question sincerely

A Lot is Special about then. He takes last in both list.

A Lot. Even Simon still got this ahead?

Based on these stats, Alot.

Can you please list them?

ChrisKels:
Statistically speaking, Ejike, 4goals 4assists as opposed to Olayinka's 5goals and zero assists. He still Trump's Olayinka, but that said, I would take Olayinka ahead of Lookman

Stop lying here. Peter Olayinka has 6 goals and 3 goals while Ejuke has 4 goals and 3 assists.

Statistically speaking, Ejuke is down the pecking order.

He was selected based on sentiments and prejudice.

ChrisKels:
Your usual UEFA club coefficient has CSKA Moscow in the top 50 clubs in Europe, while Leicester could only be found in the number 77th position. So, being a hit in a big club like CSKA is way better than doing it for Leicester.

Exactly! Since, Peter Olayinka is a hit in Slavia Prague that is ranked 31st in Europe and even playing in the 8th best league in Europe, Peter Olayinka should have been considered.

No wonder the coaches sneaked Ejuke in as a midfielder because he doesn’t deserve a spot among the wingers, statistically speaking.

ChrisKels:
One is worse, and his name is Ademola Lookman. He is below average

The worse one should be Ejuke if we consider his league and club.

In fact, Czech league (8th in Europe) and Peter Olayinka’s club is rated above the Russian league and Ejuke’s club respectively.

Hence, Peter Olayinka with 6 goals and 3 assists should be considered ahead of Ejuke statistically speaking.

Even Dessers has a better stats than Sadiq Umar with 10 goals and 3 assists and plays in the 7th best league in Europe yet he was ignored for a player in second division with 9 goals and 7 assists.


I suspect prejudice and bias selection.

Odunayaw:
If we were discussing during the periods when they were out of loan, we would be calling them average.

Prove he had a very good season, you are trying to famz players

That’s for shortsighted fellows and not for those who can spot talents.

ChrisKels:
One is worse, and his name is Ademola Lookman. He is below average

Now, let us reason am.


Russian league is ranked 10th in Europe while Epl is ranked 1st in Europe.

Goal scored in top 5 leagues are more superior to those scored outside top leagues.

Due to this, Ademola’s goals has more weight than Ejuke’s goals.

What do you think?

Statistically speaking, Ejuke na em Carry last.

chrisooblog:


And na bros use him own mouth talk say Lookman dey clearly when evidence wey him post says otherwise

Clearly better in LW position.

Besides, his starts are not in lowly leagues but in EPL.

ChrisKels:
All are average but in this league of averageness, someone is more average than others, hence should not be considered

Averageeeeeeeee is Averageeeeeeeeee statistically speaking.

ChrisKels:
Lookman Ademola since his £22.58m move from Everton.

How can you compare a player used as a CF with a winger? Use your brain.

Howeve, Iheanacho is still doing well recently.,

ChrisKels:
Compared to Lookman, they are special because they outscored lookman both statistically and otherwise. Even in the here and now, I will take Amoo over lookman. Pele oo

Special with just 5 goals? Ejuke should be scoring 15 goals in the lowly Russian league but he is dragging 5 goals with players in top leagues.



Averageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?

All are Averageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer?

Odunayaw:
So good that Leipzig were like "Nein! Get back on loan!"

Should we say Salah, Bryan etc were not good because Chelsea send them on loan?

ChrisKels:
But but na you just put those stats there to prove me right that he hasn't done nothing special for someone bought for over 20keuroes in the last 3years. So, 4 goals in 35matches are special numbers in your own little head? Bhuhahahahaha

How many did Samuel Chuks and Chidera score in a season that made them special?

Based on your word, they are averageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Bhuahahaha!

ChrisKels:
Ok now you know why Leicester signed him after scoring a paltry 4goals in 35matches for relegated Fulham. Lookman isn't good enough sir

4 goals, 4 assists and 2 Motm.

ChrisKels:
But but, from these stats you put out here, he still came last, so why would he be considered since the guys already there are all better than him both statistically and otherwise?

I thought you claimed he did nothing in the last 3 seasons.

Stop disgracing yourself here.

ChrisKels:
Lookman has only had one good season since leaving Charlton Athletic in 2017

Really!? Which of the season?

ChrisKels:
People called Chris dey always see road well. Omo, Lookman has been a total flash in the pan, blowing hot and cold for 3seasons. Dude is neither here nor there, nothing special

This season;

Lookman has 4 goals and a assist.

Chuks has 5 goals and zero assist.

Simon has 2 goals and 6 assists

Ejuke has 4 goals and 3 assists.


Last season;

Lookman had 4 goals and 4 assists

Chuks had 5 goals and 8 assists

Simon had 6 goals and 6 assists

Ejuke had 5 goals and 3 assists.



What is special about other players you think are better than Lookman?

ChrisKels:
He joined Everton in 2017, and he hasn't done anything of note ever since, except his purple patch while on loan at Leipzig

Kkkk. Why did you edit it?

What did he do last season with Fulham? Rugby!?

chrisooblog:
Ejuke is a better dribbler who destabilizes opposition defenses while Dennis has so far shown he has better end product in terms of goals and assists.

Being a better dribbler doesn’t tantamount to being better.

ChrisKels:
He hasn't done nothing reasonable with his career for three whole seasons now. Dude is sub-par, but I would take him for the bench role ahead of Musa and Moses Simon

Person wey just score yesterday and even had a good season with Fulham last season.

Dey lie to yourself.

chrisooblog:
Dennis is more of a winger who can also operate in the forward position. He can play LW and RW.

Ejuke has also shown he can play the LW role fairly well for club and country.

Adding Lookman is an overkill for me, especially considering there are other areas where we need reinforcement.

Please, check Dennis’s record you will agree he has played majorly as a CF.

This season he played 7 games as a striker and scored 4 times with 3 assists.

More effective as striker though I agree he can play on the wings too.

kingphilip:
So your almighty Simon now is not good enough to lace Lookman's boot?

This is interesting

In comparison with Lookman, Lookman is definitely better but in comparison with some of our wingers, Simon is definitely better.

Very interesting.

ChrisKels:
Chidera Ejike is a LW same as Emmanuel Dennis. Lookman isn't as good as any of them. That said, I would give lookman a chance on the bench ahead of Musa sha

Dennis is more of a striker than a winger and that is where he thrives most.

Why do you think both are better than Lookman?

Hanibal:
Ademola lookman will not add anything new to this super eagles team... We have Ejuke and chukwueze already, they are direct runners/dribblers.
What we need is one more CM/AM

That’s why we need a different player like Ademola. Who is more dynamic and different in style of play.

He will surely add up to the team.

ChrisKels:
Funny enough, I still don't rate Saka oo. He does look like a flash in the pan. I would take Amoo ahead of both Saka and Adeyemi of Salzburg

Yes! Even Ejuke and Chuks are ahead.

Danielnino00:
Ejuke plays LW too... Dennis too can play anywhere up front.. Is Lookman better than either of them?
How many forwards are we even going to use?
Shehu should be replaced by a defender or midfielder

What if Dennis and Ejuke starts as a CF and LW respectively and we needed to substitute Ejuke due to football reasoning, who replaces him?

We don’t need to use make shift players if you have a equally better player in a position.

Is Lookman better than Ejuke? Of course.

Is Emmmuel better than Lookman? It’s up for debate.

Danielnino00:
The forward list is already choked... Unless Lookman will come and play AM..

Is his switch even completed? It officially started a few months ago after many months of us hearing stories....

Why was he included in the provisional list if it has not been completed?

Besides, let us critically analyze the forward list into-to.

10 forwards were listed and if we add Ejuke, we have 11 forwards.

Now, where can these players function along the front line?

We have CF, SS, AMF, LW and RW.

As far as I am concern, we have a total 4 natural CFs in the team because I am not sure of Osimhen’s fitness.

CF
1. Odion Ighalo
2. Taiwo Awoniyi
3. Emmmuel Dennis
4. Umar Sadiq

SS
5. Iheanacho Kelechi

AMF
6. Alex Iwobi

RW
7. Samuel Chuks
8. Chidera Ejuke

LW
9. Simon Moses
10. Ahmed Musa

*Osimhen (Fitness not confirmed)

The weakest position is the LW. This is where Ademola Lookman comes in.

Is Simon or Musa better than Lookman on that LW?

Apparently, Lookman is better than most of the wingers on the list.

ChrisKels:
Lookman isn't good enough, besides, we already have enough forwards called up.

The same way you claimed Saka wasn’t good enough.

maidaboi:
I WILL PREFER BASSEY OR EBUAHI

All those positions are occupied but we still lack natural LW in the team hence the need for Lookman to come in.
