OK I'm sorry bro. No vex

Ok, no wahala.

MetalJigsaw:
Bia dis man. E be like say Joel don roja u ba? Where is mY Guilder bottle sef

Na fact I dey tell you. This season, he was only injured twice or thrice.

Martz101:
Even if i invite Southgate and wilshere here to tell you what happened, you wont still believw, ao move on

Can you post that article you claimed Wishere was dropped because of his injury record?

Make sure you highlight it else you're only saving face.

Martz101:
wishere was playing for arsenal, his not injured till the end of the season, he was playing the europa games, but the coach already took his decision after there last friendly.

Bros you can read na, stop arguing

Oga! 'Southgate was unimpressed with Wishere's fitness.....' That was the quote from your source.

Abi you no sabi fitness with injury record?

Eventhough, he played all Arsenal matches it doesn't mean he was 100% fit. That was what Southgate noticed not injury record.

Injury record in the sense that because he is prone to injury in the past, he should be dropped. Na lie be that.


Therefore, if Joel Obi is 100% fit, he should not be dropped because of his injury record. Aha! Shikena! Aha!

His movement is very unique. I began to dribble that way in my late 20s. It shows maturity and calmness. I call it reflex action. You wait and act based on the actions of your opponent.

It is just like when something is thrown at u suddenly, it is either you act to dogge or catch.

This is Messi's style.

That's a good one.

ChrisKels:
The Deji boy I was telling u about, I hope u saw his picture in d previous page?

When I said I don't Chima and Deji, it doesn't mean I don't know dem. It means I don't know much about their progress in their academy or wherever dey are.

Besides, I knew Chima long time ago when he was in Bayern Munichen academy before he left to another club.

In short, I followed him until he moved den and afterwards but he didn't really draw attention hence the need to drop the project.

Martz101:
Are you happy now?

Does that sound like he was dropped due to his injury history or current fitness?

tbaba1234:
God bless MRI..

Iwobi and Nwakali

We are watching. Likely what I envisaged.

Martz101:
his injury record will be put to consideration when picking the final lisg even when his fit, wishere is one of the best England player but his not going to the worldcup because of his injury record

Was Wishere dropped because of injury? Oya prove am.

MetalJigsaw:
what do you mean? You and I know that's the truth

That he hardly plays 3 matches in a row without injury? That one na truth?

MetalJigsaw:
Others no dey ball ba?

Joel Obi is better baller. Wait for the next friendly and see him again.

MetalJigsaw:
That was in the past

Person wey still dey ball for him club.

MetalJigsaw:
Don't let deceive ourselves. Joel is not a world class player, neither is he one of our most important players in the SE. So..

But better than almost all the current midfielders we have save Mikel Obi.

Martz101:
His injury record alone is enough to drop him

So, if he is 100% fit, you will drop him because of his past injury record!? Na so?

Humility017:
the problem is rohr's success covers his flaws..so don't be surprised he stays.

Ok na.

MetalJigsaw:
What is so special about this Joel you keep singing about? You're talking about his exploits many years ago alongside Mikel... What did he do in our last two friendlies? Nothing!

Looked so ordinary

Ordinary to you not me and Torino.

elyte89:
He was....past glory


We re talking abt now..we cant rely on past glory.

His last 2 appearance for eagles was abysmal... Simple

Because you expected him to dribble all the players on the field finish and score.

Humility017:
he has been deceiving himself since ages....such an annoying coach.

He should be removed after the world cup.

MetalJigsaw:
Mr man he's not Victor moses or Mikel or Ndidi who are instances of our most important players in the team. What does he have more than any other player in the team?

How can we overlook a player's terrible injury issues. A Joel Obi that hardly plays three matches consecutively without getting injured. Don't you know that an injured player can never be replaced in the squad during the tournament?

You are exaggerating. Take it easy.

Martz101:
meanwhile seeing pictures of iwobi always coming in with his dad gives me a picture of him lacking maturity and might actually transit to his game.

common this dude is 21 and should act like a man not a daddy boy

We are talking about naija.

Bolowolowo:
He never got playing time in EPL so he couldn't showcase his talent.

But I was made to understand that a player is a flop even if he is not given the chance to showcase his talent. Kayod e is a case study.

tbaba1234:
Ideye has been given a late call-up to face DRC. I remeber Rohr said, he wanted to play fringe players for that match. No need to risk injury.

We are watching.

Iwobi Joins Onazi, Aina, Ekong Uyo, Eagles To Train At 5pm
By Kayode Ogundare in Uyo



The Super Eagles pre-World Cup training camp opened in Uyo on Monday morning and Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi is the latest player to hit the Ibom Meridian Hotel Camp thereby bringing to five the number of players in Camp.

Iwobi joined vice-captain Ogenyi Onazi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Ola Aina and Bursaspor of Turkey defender William Troost-Ekong as early arrivals.

The Arsenal star touched down at the Ibom International Airport around 12noon aboard a plane from Lagos accompanied by his father Chuka and he was immediately driven off after completing airport formalities.

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles will have their first feel of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium turf at 5pm after they would have been boosted by the arrival of other players expected in camp.

According to team co-ordinator Patrick Pascal, coach Gernot Rohr and other members of the technical crew are already present in Uyo and itching to get on with the team’s training programme.

The Super Eagles are expected to trade tackles with the Leopards of Congo D R next Monday in Port Harcourt before proceeding to London where they will play the Three Lions of England at the Wembley Stadium on 2 June.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 23 days 23 hours 17 mins to go

Some player think say if dem mark register on time dem go go WC.

Martz101:
Joel is fan favourite, but we need to out sentiment aside and do what is right, if his not in the best shape then should be dropped

I agree Joel should be dropped if he is not 100% fit but if he is fit, I don't see any reason he should be dropped.

At one point, he was our best CMF when he played together with Mikel Obi.

MetalJigsaw:
Don't mind him.

before nko.

Martz101:
No sir, i was only talking down on joel obi

Ok sir. But ehmmm! My eyes are on Joel Obi to make it to the WC.

andrew444:
I agree with you on this.

Simy and lakosa will not go to the world cup,if i am the coach and for example iheanacho is injured or ighalo i will not even fix simy or lakosa in,there are there to fill the list just as you have said.

That cut me LMAO.

Just let us pray nothing happens else we are stucked with dem.

Martz101:
is the argument about Agu? why did you pick on that?

Because you made it look as if the boy didn't contribute to our qualification. On that, I disagreed.

charlesemeka85:
pinnick has done that already by given rohr a new 2 year deal. regardless of the teams performance rohr is on the right track and i foresee this team doing wonders in the next afcon if they qualify. rohr's positive input in this team is obvious by the way the team qualified in style from one of the toughest groups when no one gave them a chance. i must also commend pinnick and his crew for giving their immerse support to the coaching crew by creating an enabling environment for them to work. for once the interference of agents and God-fatherism which have bedeviled our national team for a long time is now a thing of the past. now players turning out good performances in their various clubs both in the local scene and Europe are given fair chances to prove themselves by inviting them by merit. now we have a coach who makes out to to visit our players in their various clubs to check how they are fairing and also intervene on their behalf when they aren't seeing much playing time.

Really!?

Martz101:
Ogu played 90 and Etebo played 90 minutes against Algeria, Agu was always coming in late and did not impress

Did Agu play one or two matches? Besides, calculate all the minutes he played in those matches and let us see if it is not more than 90 minutes.

Alloy: We Will Select Super Eagles World Cup Goalkeepers On Merit
May 21, 2018 9:57 am

Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer, Alloy Agu, insists the four goalkeepers in the team’s 30-man provisional squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia will get equal opportunity to prove their worth, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

The quartet of Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Daniel Akpeyi, Francis Uzoho and Dele Ajiboye will vie for the three slots reserved for goalkeepers in the final 23-man squad.

Ezenwa, Uzoho and Akpeyi were called up for the team’s last four games against Algeria, Argentina, Poland and Serbia.

Ajiboye, who was outstanding for Plateau United in their title success in the Nigeria Professional Football League last season, was also part of the team in some of the qualifying games.

He is seen by many as having little chance of making the final squad to Russia having been overlooked by handler of the side, Gernot Rohr in recent times.

But Alloy, who was part of the Super Eagles squad in Nigeria’s debut in the FIFA World Cup at the USA 1994 said the selection will be done fair and square.

“Everything will be done on merit. We are lucky to have these quality goalkeepers in the team at the moment and we will give them equal chance to show what they can do,” Alloy told CSN.

“I don’t support the view that there is a favourite among the four or that we already know the three that will go with the team to Russia.

“I know they all want to be in Russia which will make them give their all in training. That itself is good for the team as it will give us the opportunity to pick the best for the team.”

Dey deceive yourself.

Martz101:
so you will rather drop musa thann joel obi with his glass leg.

See let me tell you something, tournerment like worldcup is not friendly match were you will get injured and get replaced, why take a -1 when we have other players

*Musa plays for a club in russia so his comfortable with the weather and pitch even the fans know him, just imagine us playing in CSKA stadium

* Musa is in form and score goals which what we need in super eagle now

* joel was injured and is injury prone and might even get injured after announcing the squad

* we have 5 key and fit midfielders that executed the quantifying matches, Mikel, Onazi, Ndidi, ogu and Etebo

oga if they keep Musa and obi i will pick Musa

Agu played more part in our qualification more than Etebor and Ogu.
