jihday: since then? 4goals 3assist in the championship mehnnn not sure he'll bring anything different from iwobi and the likes, not saying he shouldn't be invited o but not worth whining over
Dannyxy: how is rohr's fault naa, do we have the midfielders and goal keepers that can "improve" the team and he refused to call them??
Let's be honest to ourselves, as we have a surge of attacking talents, we are also having issues with having quality midfield talents, goal keepers included... None is rorh's fault...
This fressh air you are talking about, shey na coach like oliseh or Lars lagerback go bring am ni.. Abi na coach wey go invite ajagun you dey find my mahn
There are some players in the Dutch, la Liga 2, Championship etc that are still doing well.
A Nigerian player is helping a Spanish league gain promotion to the la Liga yet we prefer John Ogu. That is insane.
Earthquake3: The point is who is he going to displace in that list?
He was given a chance to impress with the under23 he didn't until Osihmen came in from the senior team and score a hattrick to save us from elimination
Next time you have to ask that question, use those facts not bogus statistics
Based on your logic, Onuacha should be dropped since you believe any player who scores one goal in far advanced league deserves to be in the team ahead of any player who scores 100 goals in a lesser league.
As it stands, Awoniyi has scored 12 goals in a far advanced league while Onuacha scored 22 goals in a far lesser league. That is the point.
I asked what Osimhen was doing in the national team ahead of Awoniyi when he never scored one single goal!
elyte89: D question is who exactly is better dan those @ d midfield presently or have 100percent chance and willing to play for nija dt has not been invited
Nb ...no mention ajagun o,make I no vex u or one league two player dt doesn't c himself as a Nigerian let alone of playing for us
This is not about Ajagun, it's giving players opportunity to show themselves.
When Eberechi Eze was doing well in the championship, why didn't Rohr try him?
You said I should not mention Ajagun but John Ogu who is in a very very very lower league that him can be mentioned. Think.
Humility017: the goal keeping and the midfield will improve bro... I expect some good midfielders to break into the super eagles from the current under 20 team...especially the man city lad who is a good CM.
also in the goal keeping department I for see us getting at least two decent goal keepers from this under 20 team and also...maduka have been invited for the under 23 match against Sudan and has confirmed his willingness to play
Do you think Rohr and the goalkeeper trainer will call them into the team?
Luckyroro: First of, this list goes to show that form doesn't really determine who makes the cut in major tournaments and that's pretty bad for Nigeria football. Prior to the World Cup last year, Onazi was lost but he made the final cut ahead of more hungry players who were raring to go. The reason most coaching staff members came up with was his pedigree in the GRA but as a Nigerian, I know that's not true. Once a player makes the Super Eagles team list the first time, his agent starts looking for a way to cement his place in the team through settling some bigwigs in NFF and that's why most guys on past glory remain there even when they are lost in form. With all due respect to Tbaba1234 and other notable men here who monitor the progress of our strikers, this list frustrates our genuine and compassionate efforts for the team. How can Awoniyi who's been scoring all season long miss this chance? Ola Aina too has been impressive. He has improved and features regularly for Torino. Iheanacho doesn't have any business there and we need to ask questions this time.
The bolded is why I said we need fresh air. Competition develops individuals.
..except if NFF is ready to hire d class of guardiola sha
Meanwhile andrew444,Leon balogun is seat to Egypt is as sure as tmao bin a Wednesday .we all knw dt.fine he didn't play for b/h due to obvious reason.
But on d reality, when he played d last two matches,he was one of d best player on d pitch,he didn't show any sign of weakness or loss of form
Even d ndidi dt has played all matches dis season for his club,ironically he hasn't been dt fantastic for us in eagles,like d way he plays for his club
Just saying. We need to change many things in the team. With Rohr and the coaching crew, our keeper and mildfield will not improve.
tbaba1234: Taiwo was one of Africa's best left back so when i say he started a decline, it is against that statement.
Taiwo had a good 2010-2011 season but he started his fade in the 2011/2012 season. (Note: I said, it started. he was not completely finished) His premier league showing was not close to his high standards and by the time he went to Ukraine the next season, his stats showed significant drop. He used to get 4-5 goals in Marseille at least. He could not score a single 1 in the Ukrainian league.
By 2014-2015, When he was supposed to be 29/30. He could not make his turkish team starting line-up and was sold to Finland.
It wasn't close because he joined EPL in the summer but he still went ahead to score a goal with three assists. He would had scored and assisted more if he started the season. Facts
That was a high standard for someone who at most scored 3 goals in Ligue 1.
He used to score 4/5 goals for Marseille in all competitions not only in Ligue 1. Let that be stated clearly.
Why didn't you tell us about his stats after he left Ukraine for Turkey?
He scored a goal and had 4 assists in all competitions in Ukraine. We still saw Taiwo played in the UEFA champions League group stage at 28.
In Turkey, he scored three goals and had 6 assists. That was when he was 29.
How can someone who scored three goals with 6 assists wouldn't make the Turkish league?
He wasn't sold. He had issues with the Turkish federation because of transfer issue hence his work permit was terminated.
How does that look like fading away?
This was what Late Keshi wanted us to believe.
Taye Taiwo didn't fade away at 26 for those who followed him until he joined a club in Finland when he was 30.
You said Mikel Obi is still playing at the highest level. Is Chinese league better than the Turkish or the Ukrainian leagues?
Ps: Mikel Obi left EPL when he was 29. It doesn't mean he can't still play.
Earthquake2: Take your useless ratings out of here, You are comparing Paul Onuachu an established striker to Awoniyi a player who has been playing on loan for seasons
Let Awoniyi cement his place in the U23 before talking of the senior team
Is Osimhen not on loan?
Has Onyekuru not been playing on loan?
Is Paul better than them?
Senior team is for any player that distinguishes himself in a top league. The last time I checked Belgium league is far better than Denmark league.
Anyway, don't be afraid, I didn't write that for Awoniyi to take Paul's position.
It's just for you to know how good they are.
I wish Paul can get a decent club in Belgium or France to show himself.
tbaba1234: Taiwo had a great career but faded at the time when he was supposed to be getting to his best. By 2011, when taiwo was supposed be just 26, he started to fade. He was no longer the same player.That is usually when players hit their best.
He is still playing retirement football in Finland.
Obasi was seriously hampered by injury.
Taiwo didn't fade away at 26. In the same 2011, Taiwo captained Olympic Marseille to win French cup, Taiwo made Ligue 1 team of the season, CAF best 11 and even joined Ac Milan despite Marseille wanted him to stay.
Taiwo played in the EPL and Seria A in 2012.
But you said Mikel Obi is still playing at top level.
Is Championship better than EPL?
Taiwo didn't fade away at 26, rather many club wanted him because he was the best African LB in the world in 2011. That was for the third time.
charlesemeka85: Birmingham no go even reason ajagun let alone any decent top tier team in big leagues across europe. the best ajagun will get is a return to the belgian league or a deal in turkey
How Birmingham wan reason Ajagun when he is not qualified for work permit?
I heard the same thing 4 years ago that he can't play in the Eredivise and Belgium pro League but the end they say is history.
Which of our best player is qualified to join Real Madrid and Barcelona?
We know these three players have been banging in goals this season but most of us didn't see how they did it to ascertain their level of talent and rate them.
As for me, it is how you score the goals that matters alot. You have to check the positioning, agility, shooting technique, skills, ability and the easy at which a striker scores. You mustn't be only a tap merchant but have other attributes to make a complete striker.
Based on these, what is your rating after watching? Thanks
Anyway, I heard he was finished 4 years ago but the same finished product latter played in the Eredivise and Belgium pro League for 2 and the half years.
