Yes Martins had his chance but failed to impree

Haruna had a terrible match subbed out in first half

Arokoyo was a trained Kwara academy player with Kwara united and very new in europe but his stats was awsome but i thought he should be for future then but couldn't progress,not yet ripe for Eagles as that time.

On Kenneth i agreed cos he has everything to slug it out with Oboboana,Egwueke and Kunle Odunlami and Omeruo

Ik Uche i think you know how everything went between Keshi and Uche,discipline issue at afcon.

How many chances did Keshi give Martins?

Is it up to the one he gave to Uzoenyi who was so poor in all the matches he played saved the CHAN tournament?

Sone Aluko was better than him but Keshi never gave him the chance.

Did Keshi ever invite Haruna lukman?

Arokoyo was better than the one Keshi took to the world Cup.

Ike Uche should have been given the chance to repent.

Don't forget Taye Taiwo was also ignored for mediocre players because of Keshi's inability to manage star players.

tbaba1234:
Even taking the injury into consideration, Samuel has played only 4 games more than Simon so they are certainly comparable.

I watch their games regularly. Samuel Kalu has been involved in more goals than Simon.

With four games more, you can score 4 goals more and assists 4 more.

Kalu Samuel goals and assists came when Simon Moses was out due to injury but Kalu has only scored 1 goal more than Moses.


Nevertheless, Simon Moses still remains their best player.

Yes O pari master but specifically Reuben was mentioned being a clubless player.

I think others are not clubless,so possible they merited it and tell me players that are supposed to make the team.

I remember Elderson Echiejele was dropped due to injury, Obiorah Nwankwo couldn't meet up,Fengor Ogude lost his place due to his performance at afcon 2013,Nosa Igiebor had a woeful afcon 2013,Uche IK lost out due to indiscipline, Sunday Mba after Afcon couldn't reproduced the same form and Brown Ideye had a very woeful performance at confederation cup.These are the member of Afcon 2013 that were dropped.

Outside this Obafemi Martins was recalled but failed to impress,Joel Obi too couldn't meet up cos he was just coming back from injury,also Bright Dike had injury prior to WC

Oh for highest bidder,pls can you prove it.

Obafemi Martins was in the form of his life. Raheem Lawal was one of the best performer going to the nations cup, Lukeman Haruna was playing 24/7 in the Ukrainian league with Kvie and in the UEFA Champions League. .

Gbenga Arokoyo and Kenneth Otigba played regularly in the Turkish and Eredivise league.

Ike Uche was the best striker we had prior to the world Cup.

Loogan:
For real Kalu is hustling for a call up. This guy and Simon play in the same team and he constantly outshines him in almost all the matches. His crosses are a beauty to watch. Impact player! Good end product.
I like simon but he's not improving his game. What's more baffling is that if you study very closely Our young talents in Belgian pro league like kalu, bonaventura, onyekuru and olyinka all seem to have a better football IQ than simon.
This simon needs a coach like pochettino or klopp who will work the potential out of him.

Kalu is a good player but outshing Simon Moses is going too far.

Simon Moses was Gent best player before going out for 8 weeks due to injury.

Besides, Simon Moses with his football IQ won Gent the first league title. Something Kalu is yet to do.

Icon79:
OK. So can you tell me what he contributed in Brazil


O pari

.

Is he talking about his form during the world cup or his form prior to the world Cup?

I am not understanding.

Icon79:
Please don't tell me that you rate Azeez at the same levels with either Ndidi or Etebor! Please say it isn't so!


O pari

Which level is Ndidi and Etebor?

Ramon Azeez didn't use the national team to get game time in la Liga as the aforementioned players did.

Please, tell me the level they are now.

ChrisKels:
And that's good enough an excuse when he can hardly execute his primary assignment which lies upfront?

As a winger, ur primary assignment is an efficient attacking input followed by defensive contributions which is secondary.

I av bn seeing Gent matches lately because of Esiti, and can tell u Moses hasn't been contributing more defensively to Gent than Kalu. Initially, Moses's fans pride themselves over his unofficial appointment as the free kick taker for Gent, lol, guess who has assumed that mantle now and has been delivering... Your guess is as good as mine and if he wasn't better than Moses, he wouldn't have been assigned that duty after it was strapped off Simon. Just as Moses was once Gent's golden boy, Kalu is their present golden boy and he is highly celebrated by Gent's fans. He is wanted by a host of clubs in the top leagues and I expect him to leave by summer. Until Henry's unfortunate injury, he was the only Nigerian winger better than Kalu amongst the players plying their trade in Belgium.

Stat wise, the likes of Olayinka and Bonaventure have even done better than Moses this season. We need to tell ourselves the truth...

Is Kalu Samuel the official free kick taker now?

How did Gent strap Moses Simon of the free kick duty because Kalu is better when we all know Moses Simon was out for 6 weeks due to injury?


@bolded 2 must be the biggest joke because Kalu has only scored 6 goals and assisted 7 times just when Simon Moses was out for almost 8 weeks due to injury. .

Simon Moses scored 5 goals with 3 assists this season before he was injured.

Peter Olayinka played mostly as a winger and his stats is far better than Samuel Kalu.

First Snapshot is Simon Moses injury history.
Second snapshot is Peter Olayinka stats.
Third snapshot is Samuel Kalu.

Kog45:
Forgiveness--Azeez should be removed

Icon4s--Nwofor and Uzoenyi should be removed

Kog45-- Kunle Odunlami should be removed if Egwueke is not on the list and i think Odunlami replaced Echiejele and also had wonderful CHAN and made CHAN all star team as best CB

Thegoodjoe--Shola Ameobi,gave good reason why Shola merited his place,Keshi like big striker and his MOTM against Italy was a class.

Michael Uchebo?

Honestly who to replace these players.

All you mentioned shouldn't had gone to the world Cup except Ramon Azeez. Why? Because he did well in la Liga prior to the world Cup.

Is la Liga bad because of Ramon Azeez and now good because Etebor is playing there now?

Icon79:
Actually, it wasn't just Reuben alone. We can excuse him if he had fumbled on only one or two players, but Keshi fumbled on:

Michael Uchebo
Shola Ameobi
Ejike Uzoenyi
Kunle Odunlami
Ramon Azeez
Uche Nwofor

And I can go on and on. So it wasn't just one player. The entire bench was useless - sold to the highest bidder.


O pari

Remove Ramon Azeez from the list. Except you believe Etebor and Ndidi are useless and don't deserve to be called up for this coming WC.

somehow:
I am talking about yours in general not social media.

That's my weapon.

Kog45:
Are you saying playing for university is good for national team cos i remember Emenalo was playing for university of Boston as a student but that was even before US 94.

After he left university he joined Moleenbeek through Keshi link and later had his contract terminated and went to regional league in Germany equivalent of division four before he emerged from nowhere and made the team.

My point is this there are some players coaches stick with irrespective of performance at club level in national team.

I know if Rohr is a local coach a lot would have question continuous invitation of Agbo Uche,this is a player that had not played a single minutes even in friendly.

I know Rohr as a local coach inviting Akpeyi would have been tagged a $10k bribe coach but as a foreigner he know what he is doing as if being a black man is a curse.

That's was not even the issue but why berating local coaches just cos of Gabriel whereas we have some foreign coaches that have made some questionable decision and we always find excuses for them

Truly the foreign coaches are the best and far better but the way some always come hard on our coaches without proof,like collecting 10k dollars before making WC,acts as agents,forgetting Westerhoff and Bonfrere Jo brought this to our system.

Well Stephen Okechukwu Keshi won highest trophy in Africa which his Afcon and made 2nd round at WC that made him all time best Nigeria coach if we want to based it on time spent compared to Westerhoff 5 years

I wish Rohr surpass this achievement cos anything short of quarter final at WC with this talented team would not be good enough cos am seeing some proposing lifetime contract,a good WC performance would do the talking and i wish my great eagles well and Rohr.

Hahahahahah! I think say dem say oyinbo no dey collect bribe!?

Westerhoff and others white coaches too were..

ChrisKels:
OK make I begin follow person wey say him no wan play for Nigeria abi. Lol I'm not an assleaker

Ok. I hear you.

somehow:
And the ones we qualified for and also won, did we pick all your players?

Most were there.

somehow:
You're on a long thing. You think it's because you clamored for them, hence the reason they made the team?

Social-media is powerful. Take it or leave it.

MetalJigsaw:
But now he's in Hungary... His current profile is what is relevant.


I get am before no be... You know the last!; word

No worries.

Mujtahida:
You are the one who says they induce their call ups na. So why don't you test your proposition by advising your players of choice to do same and see if that's the criteria with which players get invited.

As for corruption, you have no idea. So when I see you going on about corruption when your players are not invited I just laugh. Don't let me start going deep. Nigeria is corrupt but when you make that accusation when your players are not invited it's annoying in a funny way especially since this current team is full of good players.

If you really have an iota idea, you wouldn't have given that advice.

How can you go deep?

ChrisKels:
Unlike u controversial biased guy, I love English bred Nigerian stars as much as I love their counterparts all over the world. I just hate it when u and komekn put down the locally bred stars just to make ur English boys look like demigods.

I'm following most of these anglonigerian kids possibly better than u do. I must say, Onyedinma has impressed me, Bright Enobakhare too but u won't see me here over hyping them like u do. I can only report of their progress as I report of ipalibo, chukwueze etc. I was so hapi Ademola left England for Germany too bkus I blv leaving his comfort zone(England) will give us a chance of capping him.

I can go on and on...

Controversial to only those who believe they are better.

Are you one of them?

You follow the ones you want to follow. Not all.

Mujtahida:
So we now have defenders crisis because of the actions and inactions of our coaches in not inviting Otigba. You don mean it? Tell me more

Are you having comprehension problem?

Read with a clear head.

[quote author=Mujtahida post=from 65726076]Shebi you said it's through corruption players get invited then please advise those players you love but who have not been invited to also go and bribe. Shikena. As if you are corruption free[/quote]Coming from a Minister in the temple of justice.

maidaboi:
same thing happen to nwakali but they say he was not good

Was Nwakali getting game time?


I think they are two different situations.

OOne didn't see game time at all while one though saw game time but was not statisfied hence the move to a bigger club that believes, he got the talent.

TheSuperNerd:
I was busy myself.... But he came in for Okazaki who played behind Vardy. So naturally he took up the role behind Vardy.

I see. Thanks

Toylove:
Mhen, all dese names and the team they play for ...bros ehn, make I no talk sha

Na so I drop Ebuehi name den. See what he has become today.

Besides, the Portuguese league is highly rated than Eredivise.

TheSuperNerd:
Nacho's involvement in Leicester's last game saved them a point. His movement and passing did cause some problems for Bournemouth and was no surprise it was after his introduction that Leicester stood a chance of getting a goal and that they did when Nacho was fouled in a dangerous area around the box which led to Mahrez's moment of brilliance from that freekick (a frekick I trust Nacho don learn from him teammate ahead of the mundial... )


Now fast forward to today's game... Nacho only needed two mins to again show his growing influence at Leicester and agaim his true class... What a beautiful clipped pass to Mahrez for that goal that made it 2-1... And couple of moments later... He makes it 3-1 with a header thanks to Chillwell's cross...

Nacho has scored with his head, left foot/leg and right foot/leg this season... Just like he did in his first season at Man City in 2015/2016...

I think Iheanacho is picking just the right time to grow into dangerously fine form for the World cup moments... This is the Iheanacho that Man City put a buy back fee clause for.

#SoarSuperEagles

Let The Nacho show continue...

I didn't see the full match. I only saw the goal and assist.

What position did he play?

ChrisKels:
Honestly that Mbaise boy dey ball. I took time to see few of his games the other day and I was wowed by his level of improvement.

If he maintains this growth, he would find himself in the EPL soon. He is doing exactly what Gray was doing at Birmingham before Leicester snapped him up.

Nigeria has too many awesome kids coming through. I must commend Pinnick for his insights

I think say you no like better things wey come from English?

See confession.

somehow:
And did the outcry stop you from complaining about some of your favorites? in life, things cant always go your way bros.

we have thousands of players and no matter who's picked, people will always complain/cry.

I can categorically tell you that 89% of the players I clamoured for, that are qualified and credible enough to play for Nigeria are in the team but I am still pressing on until we get there.

Wow! I just saw the replay of Iheanacho's assist and goal.

Good to know he can use his head.

I hope he continues with this form going into the world cup.

This is what I am talking about. Play and score, not glue on the bench and think all is well.

I thank Rohr for drawing the stick on bench warmers association hoping to go to the world Cup without playing for their clubs.

That's a good one.

MetalJigsaw:
Guy, you're making someone sick of this your Atinga abi na Otingba here. Are you in any way related to him??
What is your problem Mr??
U no dey tire??

So, make I no respond to my mentions again, abi?

MetalJigsaw:
I'm really baffled how these people are so engaged in such unnecessary argument about one certain average player playing somewhere in Hungary... So annoying and irrelevant.

Prior to playing in Hungary, he had played for 3 straight seasons in the Eredivise and a season in the Turkish league.

Please, give full details next time.

somehow:
There are alot of players better than some of the players we have known or unknown so its not peculiar to Otigba alone. let it slide.

...

No wonder we no qualify for Nations cup twice.

If not the outcry of Nigerian fans, we for don continue with the norms.

There is defenders and goalkeeper crises because of the actions and in actions of previous coaches.

We had Kenneth Otigba and Gbenga Arokoyo who played consistently in the Eredivise and Turkish league btw 2014 - 2016.

Now, there's is one Junior Udeme Plus in the Portuguese league with Tondela and Jacob Adebanjo of Victoria Setuba who are both defenders.


I hope Rohr monitors themselves after the WC.

Daejoyoung:
So who are the people there by corruption? Ndidi? Ekong? Mickel? Balogun? oh come on.
You have been told that this happens everywhere, in Brazil, Spain, etc. Not all players can be called.

Where was Ndidi playing before he got invitation to the national team?

How many matches did he play for that team?

Where was Ekong playing before he got invitation to play for the Super Eagles?

How many matches did he play for that team?

Corruption could be in any form.

Where in Brazil or Spain did you see them drop a better player for lesser player?

They don't just drop players based on lesser quality but rather on off field issues.

I hope some people will not cry corruption either now or in the future since to them it's 'nothing'

Only hypocrites cry Goodluck Jonathan is corrupt, Buhari is corrupt etcetera in their backyard but come here and pretend all his well.

Where there is justice there is remedy where is injustice there will be chaos.

So because some people got there by corruption, I should encourage others to do the same?

What a word.

Explains the mentality of the Nigerian society and state.

Chaos! Chaos! Chao!
