is olayinka better than isaac success,onyekuru,moses simon, samuel kalu? etebo's case is different to that of aluko because he is a part of the team already and rohr knows what he offers the team,also etebo is 22 while alukois approaching 30. ademola only trained with an assembled nigerian side which comprised of uk born nigerians years back and that doesn't put him on the mix.rohr personally approached him in german with a promise of picking him for the world cup but he declined. among those you mentioned its only ojo who have voiced his interest in playing fornigeria but was diplomatic about it. rohr have seen issac succes in close quarters but his fitness is was the major factor why he was left out after playing against senegal

charlesemeka85:
good point. waiting for this euro born lads to hit stardom before they are approached is not the right step to follow.if we acted fast someone like ademola lookman would been capped when he was still in the english 3rd tier playing for chalton athletic. it will be very difficult to get him now that the english FA have taken notice of his immerse talent. there is another young nigerian making waves in chalton. he is a midfielder and have been likened to spur's dele alli.

MetalJigsaw:
Guys, how do you see Joel as LWB? He's naturally left footed and energetic too... and much more experienced that Idowu.

Idowu isn't left footed and that makes him struggle to deliver good crosses... Even using His right foot instead of left

charlesemeka85:
sone maybe not be washed but i dont see him getting a call up in the nearest future. ademola lookman will be difficult to get since we couldnt lure him even when promised a palace in the world cup team and also he is highly regarded in England and one of the arrow heads in their u21 team. the likes of ojo, onomah etc have to show that they are willing to jump ship and join the nigerian set up(which i believe will be after 2019 euro u21 competition), dessers need to do to something extra ordinary to have get a chance (he is not better than ighalo, iheanancho,and few untested lads like onuachu,awoniyi and sadiq). peter olayinka is a decent player and i have seen him play in the europa league but we have better qualities waiting on the wings. isaac success needs to seek for more playing time in watford or out on loan to be recalled. uche agbo is one player who i believe if given a chance will impress alot of super eagles fans.

andrew444:
Okay let me agree with you on chuba akpom

But common how can you say a noah bazee will make the german squad when fit?

Anyway i like your believe but i wont agree with you on noah bazee.

andrew444:
Chuba akpom and noah bazee should be removed from there.

solonnachi:
After the world cup, we must search out these guys;
Noah Bazee
Ola Aina
Henry Onyekuru
Junior Lokosa
Moses Simon
Abdul Ajagun
Peter Onuahu
Kelechi Nwakali
Umar Mohammed
Stephen Eze
Uche Agbo
Sebastian Osigwe
Ebere Eze
Chuka Akpom
Ryan Sanusi
They are just so much

BascoVanVeli:
Why should it not be possible for a Nigerian boy to represent Nigeria? Do u think Alaba happened by magic? By the time he came he was already well known in Europe as a top prospect. The fact is that we made a major error in judgment, we should have at least given him a chance to prove himself. He was given to us on a platter of gold that is the real sickening part to me.

BascoVanVeli:
Who do u have in mind?

BascoVanVeli:
He carried his team into La Liga 123. He will be playing in the second tier at worst next season. I have already bowed to the point that he should play U20 first but in my eyes the boy is ready.

DrKlever:
This is still my best formation. if and only if V Moses brings out his A game and play with his team mates, else he should either sit on the bench or play LWB.

Sunnypa11:
The best formation for the current Super Eagles is 3-5-2!
With the mentioned formation,Super Eagles held their own and looked unbreakable in the second half against a cruising English National team with some unravelled national treasures.
Francis Uzoho is a done deal for goal while expectedly, William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun are important to the defence line.
Joining the 'Oyinbo wall’ is a midfielder in John Ogu,It is very important to note that most of the defenders are right-footed including Kenneth Omeruo and the Israeli based Ogu is also as tall as Croatia striker,Mario Manzukic who will be an aerial threat all night.
Balogun will defend from a comfortable right side of the defence alongside a mobile Tyronne Ebuehi just as Ogu who is very calm in possession will be giving Bryan Idowu a needed assurance from the left.
Wilfred Ndidi will be winning the tackles as Oghenekaro Etebo create an industrious midfield zone to neutralize Luca Modric and Ivan Rakitic.
John Obi Mikel big game stability and experience put him in an advanced and familiar position with lesser defensive duty in yet an important position.
And there comes the mysterious dynamites leading the line together.
Kelechi Iheanacho and Alexander Iwobi both ruined Argentina together in an unimaginable manner in the most fruitful Forty-Five minute of Coach Gernot Rohr.
On display in Russia last November was pace,precised attacking passes,chemistry and top-class decision making.
The aging backline of Croatia could suffer same damage and it must be noted that Iheanacho always enjoy a companionship upfront while Iwobi is magical in freedom and the formation gives the Arsenal youngster the popular suggested advance role infront of Mikel.
SWITCH : John Ogu and Kelechi Iheanacho could both be replaced with Victor Moses and Odion Ighalo to switch back to 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 as the situation may require.

BascoVanVeli:
I think he might be even more important than those guys because we already have right footed wingers but we don't have any left footers. Of course those 3 are already proven players in Europe but he has that it factor that can be seen from a mile away. Like I said I agree with him focusing on U20 for now but I feel the clock is ticking and it should only be a matter of time before he becomes a SE star.

BascoVanVeli:
The Villareal B team is very talented but u can tell he stands head and shoulder above everyone of them. From wat I have been seeing lately the boy is ready for the SE but i believe we have enough talent that can afford him the time of going to the U20 wc before making the main team.

TheGoodJoe:
Alaba also made his debut for the Austrian National team before he played for the [main team of Bayern]. Not our fault in any way.

Can't you read that I wrote main team of Bayern? It clearly shows I was pointing out he was already at Bayern but had not played for their main team.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:
It was a slip. Wiki clearly stated that Alaba was in Bayern Munich B team when he was called up. It was a slip in writing. I[b] wonder where I claimed to follow the event that laid to the callup. That will be a bloody lie, [/b] even if you claimed so. I knew Alaba after he broke into Van Gaal's squad and that was about 2009/2010, being a Van Gaal fan. So I followed Bayern then.

When I saw Alaba, my beef was clearly with Samson Siasia then. I felt he should have earned the U20 left back role in the 2009 WYC. I later found out he was called up to the National team of Austria. So I knew Austria was well ahead of us and I can not go blaming any body.

Alaba's history is not some hidden issue. That Google will fail. His career is literally on Wiki.

TheGoodJoe:
Growing up in Austria and being a part of one of the best academies, if not the best academy in Austria, gave Austria the leverage to monitor Alaba. Keep in mind, Alaba also played in the age grade levels for Austria, which is another advantage.

Austria Wein does not have that popularity like academies like Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester United, Manchester City etc. Even teams like Atletico Madrid, PSG, Juventus have more popularity than Austria Wein. Heck, how many stars do I know that came from that academy.

So Alaba lacked the popularity growing as a player to convince us to give him a Super Eagles callup at the time Austria called him. I did not say he was Called up while in Austria Wein.

By the way, the bolded in the quote clearly States my point.

Alaba also made his debut for the Austrian National team before he played for the main team of Bayern. Not our fault in any way.

edi287:
Not at first...only came around a few years ago. Seeing his buddy Iwobi shining has no doubt swayed him even more.

TheGoodJoe:
[color=#000099]That is the problem when you quote without reading. I clearly stated that Alaba was not in the main team of Bayern Munich when he was called up to the Austrian National team. Then you went on to make up a fake statement of me saying he was in the Austria Wein team.

Please read what you quote next time.

I said,

ALABA WAS CAPPED WHEN HE WAS NOT IN THE BAYERN MUNICH MAIN TEAM.

Saying he was in the team B of Bayern proves my point.

Austria could call him because he goes through their system, playing in their junior National teams and also being part of the biggest club in Austria.

Very simple point.

Gerrit?

TheGoodJoe:
Alaba was popular in media but not enough to merit a Super Eagles call up. Iwobi was not 17 when he debuted for us. So I wonder why you are bringing that up. Also an Arsenal academy player has more popularity than an Austria Wein player. Alaba also made his debut for the Austrian National team before he played for the main team of Bayern. Not our fault in any way.

ChrisKels:
Lol Chuba Akpom now keen on representing Nigeria after it is done on him that England opportunity is a far cry? Well, I welcome him if he could raise his game.

My comparison was with Westerhoff, who is the only other coach to have achieved what Keshi achieved..... and he was never owed money FACT

No other coach comes close

The bolded shows he deserves all the credit for his success

tglobal:
What saved his job was the victory over CIV. FACT

Herve Renhard was already approached to take over his job. FACT

It was his resignation stunt after the victory that got him on Jonathan's side. FACT

Despite Jonathan's support, he was still owed and his backroom staff fired against his wishes FACT

Jonathan's support came after AFCON title. FACT

if the bolded is true, why accuse him of improper player selection?

Oasis007:


This is becoming Drama...... LOL! You volunteer yourself as a Witness, he asked for the Evidence, you couldn't present the Evidence coz you are too lazy to dig out for it.

Alas! You come into Conclusion that he's a Liar - another Allegation?! LMAO!

You know in a competent Court of Law, your Testimony is DOA?! Besides you've committed Perjury?!

Only two coaches in the in the history of Nigerian football have won both the nations cup and taken us to the second round of the world cup FACT (as forgiveness will say)

One took five years to achieve the feat, the other took 2. FACT

One had the support of the 2nd citizen of the land, the other achieved his feat despite limited support from his employers,sometimes without pay. FACT!

One did it with the best African players on Europe, the other did it with relatively unknown players (definitely not the best in Africa and not the best in Nigeria as you are quick to point out). FACT!

Which one of the two was the better coach? EOD

Please tell us why this coach should not be revered and give us the names of those who have achieved more for the national team with the same resources at their disposal? FACT
