He played there for his former Belgium team Eupen and scored hand full of goals, he started in that position when he left for Anderlecht, before the coach pushed him to the left.

Onyekuru is Thierry Henry and Anthony martial kinda striker, he can play in all position forward but prefer to cut from the left

That is not true. Onyekuru never scored hand full of goals in the CF position. In short, his coach emphatically said Onyekuru can't play as a striker.

Onyekuru is not a striker.

The first snapshot is the stats for Eupen and there is nothing like hand full goals. How many times did he play as striker there? How many 'hand full' goals did he score?

In Anderlecht, he failed woefully as a striker.

Let him fight for the LW slot with Iwobi, Musa and Simon.

mazimee:
Joel was not disqualified, as a matter of fact, most people hope that he stays fit.

Let's move on.

mazimee:
The bolded, very wrong. When you say a lot kicked against his call up, you made it look like no be all of us dey this thread again. I think you are mistaking the way most people reacted to the demand for Martins call up for Joel's .


Joel has always been fans Favourite even on this thread. What a lot of people were worried about was his frequent injuries.

One thing or the other was used to disqualify a player. Joel's own was injury.

asha80:
nigeria vs cotevoire semi final had a lot of bp issues

That match was already lost before it was played. It was after the match we believed.

Dedebanky85:
You can never go through any game or competition without high BP. Even the Spanish team of 2010, if you checked their fans bp in the games against Paraguay and Holland you'd know some fainted. As a true fan you must always have ur heart aching

I remember the match Victor Moses scored with penalty, people were just hissing. Mtcheww.. Mtcheww... Mtcheww..

Shows there was no hope of us winning the cup but that was not the case with the 94 set.

DrKlever:
Forgiveness is right. Alot of people kicked against Joel Obi's call up.. some citing injury while others maintained that his inclusion might affect the high team spirit and bonding.

Help me tell them.

Certitude:
No be say I no like the guy o... In fact, coaches have not been fair to him but the chances of Sone Aluko getting an invite is non-existent...

Well, let us keep watching.

Joebie:
lol I've always called for Obi since day 1 and have always got the "injury prone" response from some of us here. No one has been vindicated yet.

Plus you.

SerVik:
Can you point one person that kicked against Joel Obi citing team spirit as reason?

Almost everybody supported the invitation of Joel Obi. The only caveat was his injury

Seems like the only reason you list so many players for invitation is so you can gloat and say 'I told you so'.

Alot here. No time to dig out names.

No. I am only trying to prove that people just against some monikers view point for no good reason or because they already believe everything they write are rubbish but we now know better.

maidaboi:
oga we have always welcome joel obi here only obafemi martins that some don't support

Who are the 'we'?

Martz101:
then we will bring back kanu, Okocha and taribo west

Are Kanu, Okocha and Taribo still playing football? Answer Yes or No.

Certitude:
If it's Joel Obi, you weren't the only one who clamoured for his invitation. As for Martins, I'll vehemently disagree that he'd be invited... Aluko no fit even get invite sef.

Did I say I am the only one?

Yes, you can vehemently disagree for Martins invitation, the same way people vehemently disagreed the invitation of Joel Obi siting it will disrupt team spirit and team cohesion but from what we are hearing from the camp there is nothing like that, their insinuation is void and nulled.

Why can Aluko get invitation?

Training Report – How Joel Obi Turned Practice Game In Favour Of Team A After Replacing Onazi

The team B of the Super Eagles of Nigeria were slowly running away with a win in yesterday’s practice match during the training session of the Super Eagles before Joel Obi was switched to the A team.

Obi started the game in midfield for the B team, and before his substitution they were leading 1-0 with his hardworking display helping his side to switch from defence to attack with ease as he dominated the midfield duels.

Coach Gernot Rohr was somehow impressed by his performance and moved him to the A team in place of Ogenyi Onazi, and he immediately helped stabilise the midfield of the A team who were nowhere near their best when he was playing against them.

His introduction helped them claw their way back into the game, and they eventually won the session 3-1. A scoreline which angered many players of the B team who were unhappy over the decision of Rohr to take Obi from their team.

DONT MISS ==> EXCLUSIVE: Former Super Eagles Forward Obinna Nsofor On Trial At German Bundesliga Side
One positive notice during the training session is the way the players played among themselves, with both teams displaying a high level of understanding in defence and even in attack.

Ade Emmanuel

Hehehehe!

There was alot of resistance here at the mention of Joel Obi by my humble self and notable Mickael2 and distinguish Komekn.

Now, who takes the glory?

Don't forget we are still saying bring back Sone Aluko and Obafemi Martins.

tbaba1234:
It was reported by OGN

Ok.

ChrisKels:
Something tells me some Anglo Nigeria players will storm Hive again for famzing like OLA Aina and Co did by this time last year

Hmmm! Tell me something.

tbaba1234:
Team A won 3:1 but Joel Obi was the difference... Team B was leading 1:0 before they replaced Onazi with Joel..

Tbaba1234, how you take dey get information?

Anyway, did you watch it? How was Joel Obi the game changer?

Was it with his passes, swagger or dribbles?

What position did he play?

Who scored those goals and assists?

Sorry ooooooo.

bigblangston:
He still following you guys bumper to fender albeit not regularly, currently in another time zone and I'm surprised how tbaba keeps bringing updates from a country that is not really passionate like that about football (soccer). Most times when I wake up, most games have been played and the pages here have moved at a fast pace leaving me with no choice than to follow the latest post. Thanks for checking on me bro. Regards to the regulars here Mikael, Thesupernerd, tbaba, Thegoodjoe, goldfish, both Icons, safarigirl, komekn,humility, forgiveness, mujtahida (I'm not sure about the spelling and other honorable members

Well done sir.

Daejoyoung:
l notice most Chelsea fans always prefer C.Ronaldo, they also like Mourinho usually.

I don't like Mourinho because of the way he treated Mikel Obi. I didn't follow Chelsea for almost 2-3 season once I noticed Mikel Obi was not on the bench or playing.

But C Ronaldo. Hehehehe, I just like am.

daveP:
lol. No Nuhu Ribadu can stop that act, except the mentality of the coach. And if he isn't into it, those fat bellied assistants that they are on bench iwhile a match goes on, they might pull such kind of strings.

Na wa ooooooo. Well, he should take note that if he messes up em career don finish with the national team.

AllforJesus7:
Lol easy bro. Obama, Trump etc are all subjects of regular jokes. You really cannot stop jibes from coming your way. You can only react. And your reaction is what defines who you are.
Its a light joke bro (born out of your glaring actions on this thread; I see you in a lot of controversy). Take it in good light.

You dey look for trouble ooooooo.

Need I say more ?

Hahahahahah! Messi the conductor. Spanish sweet for hear ooooooo.

Anyway, I just like C Ronaldo pass.

somehow:
Nice one.. Joel's all smiles.

Was watching Shehu live yesterday when Musa called the wife.

The wife started saying.. "no go give person Belle for Poland o".. Musa went quiet. I thought heard him wrongly. The call was on speaker phone. I guess that embarrassed him because the call went off few seconds later.

Women and insecurity.

He never see something.

daveP:
I see no reason why we shouldn't win the next u20 WYC. Our hands are full than ever before.

Let us hope the coach will do his job without thinking of..... You know what I mean.

MetalJigsaw:
Omo den plenty o

Yes ooooooo. But Aina is taller than Joel.

gbosaa:
Joel Obi isn’t taller than Aina. I don’t know about the others but he’d have to wear Goth shoes to level with Aina.

I already admitted.

maidaboi:
they are all taller than messi who is my G.O.A.T
so i don't care about there height

I just wanted to clarify the wrong information. I also do not care about their height.

safarigirl:
how can you say Joel Obi is taller than Ola Aina? Bros, you don't know how to gauge heights from pictures?

Aina is taller than Joel with at least three inches, don't rank him with short people abeg

My bad. Aina is taller than Joel Obi but with two inches.

Daejoyoung:
Well in 1994 we had to beat Ivory Coast on penalties, and the Zambians dominated hitting the woodwork in the second half even with the quality on our side, so it's not that different in terms of performance but l agree we had really technical individuals then admired across the globe, we had Finidi, Taribo, Yekini, and later on Kanu and Okocha who were well known in 1998.
on terms of the quality of players and the club's they played for, l agree we can't compare this generation, but team work is what matters, and this generation can really do better than the set in the nineties.

Ok na.

Ehen, there was no expectation on Keshi's team but there was in 1994.

MetalJigsaw:
but him and Simon are the shortest in camp

No ooooooo. He the same height with Victor Moses but taller than Simon, Musa, Aina, Shehu, and Onazi. Even Etebor.

komekn:
If I said the same it would be termed mockery of our players. In addition to regarding all things English as being superior.

Hahahahahah! Please, express yourself freely here.

It's fun having different view point. We are learning from each other. So, have fun and take nothing here seriously.

Daejoyoung:
Well Keshi did same with a lesser team than what we even have now(if you're judging by that only). l am judging from quality of each players as individuals.

Yes, you are right Keshi team did it but with BP, hypertension, heart attack, kwatankwa football etc.

I hope you can spot the difference.

Daejoyoung:

All of the above.
