TheGoodJoe:
But called when he was performing at Wolfsburg. Which means, the team could have been stronger if the coach used some initiative.

Hahahahahah! The point is he wasn't called when he was chopping bench. Simple.

Napoleon55:
and if olayinka,awoniyi and dennis performed better than ighalo,iheanacho and moses,u mean we should go with them without any sentiment?

Moses is out of it but the rest should buckle up else they should not be considered.

A living dog is better than a dead lion.

I am watching Germany vs Azerbaijan. There top 9 is Wagner. When did you start hearing about him?

TheGoodJoe:
Whether doing well or not is not a guarantee they are the best for the team. Invite a large pool of potentials and screen the best out. Simple.

Look at De Bruyne who was on the bench of Chelsea and became the best in Bundesliga ahead of Robben and Ribery. So a player getting a regular shot does not mean he is the best.

A while ago, there was a choir screaming Kayode because he was getting playing time in Austria (he was doing well). Now he finds himself in a club where he does not get the chance he needs, (he is not doing well). You can see playing time is the wrong criteria.

Invite the potentials and select the best.

Was Bruyne called to the national team when he was chopping bench at Chelsea?

soetanoreoluwa:
But Ajiboye is playing at this current squad

No be thesame 2007 set ?...

Where was Ajiboye when Haruna they play for Monaco and Dynamo Kiev?

Napoleon55:
and now,u have started following Onomoh since he scored that goal,between him and fit Joel Obi and Ajagun and Sone Aluko,who should be called,or who is better?

Nooooo! I have been following Onomah tey tey and I have mentioned him here times without numbers but people keep shutting my mouth because they don't know him.

How you wan take tempt me with Joel Obi na, when you know say I no go close eyes before I chose am?

I will choose Joel Obi because he playing in one of the best leagues in the world and because of his experience as a midfielder.

Nevertheless, I will like to see Onomah, Abdul Ajagun and Sone Aluko given the chance to prove themselves.

TheGoodJoe:
Football is not magic. Kayode can not take chances if the team does not create good ones. That is why I like forwards joining sides that creates loads of good chances.

What counts is weighing the factors, coming out with a system to select the best.

What should happen to those doing well?

TheGoodJoe:
I totally disagree with the do well requirement for selection. There are factors that can affect a good player doing well. A good example is how Machin is treating Kayode. Kayode deserves a better run of games. However, with a well thought out scanning and screening process, devoid of bias, we have a chance of building a true quality squad and selecting the best in each role.

If you are not doing well, how can you do well in the world cup?

Kayode should take his chances even if na 10 minutes.

soetanoreoluwa:
.

Current squad... Sir

No! You for they ask for Yakubu current squad or Kanu.

The point is Haruna played for top clubs before his attitude destroyed his career. Period.

tglobal:
The more reason why Lagos shouldn't be considered. I reckon the fans would have started booing yesterday while the score was still goalless.

Nothing good can come out of that attitude as it puts the players under more intense pressure. Not a good environment for optimum performance.

For someone who loves everything foreign, you should know that this is not how the motivate their teams

I don't think so because the players themselves will be motivated by booos and the defying chorus of cheers.


The spirit of real Nigerian soccer go enter dem.

soetanoreoluwa:
Kasala ko sakala ni

Make e burst if e won burst

Hahahahahah! I go...

Joebie:
Is that a new team rule, or a suggestion? This guy you get jazz for mouth oh.

That should be one of the norms of a serious team.

soetanoreoluwa:
I'm serious... If you check those players that played U17 how many of them playing in top clubs Now...


Akinsola, oseni, Alfa, christatus, haruna, out of all only Ajiboye make it... After how many years 10years thank God is a goal keeper oor else...

Haruna played in top club and he was in 2010 WC.

tbaba1234:
Uyo fans are the best.. Always supporting the team.

I remember, at some point, Lagos became very toxic for the super eagles. If we are playing badly, they will start booing the players.

Even with failure to qualify for the nations cup, the Uyo stadium is always full.

Uyo fans are boring. come to Lagos make you see 90 minutes of madness.

In short, the atmosphere will ginger the players to score and win games else dem own don finish.

Na pure water dem go take finish the players and coaches wey no wan win.

soetanoreoluwa:
Why you ask? When you know the Answer...

Oya open it

Hahahahahah! kasala go burst ooooooo.

Mujtahida:
It's like there's somebody making sure that once you mention a foreign born that player never gets invited. So my advice is that you should not mention their names and I promise you they will be invited.

Hahahahahah! Dem go tire be that oooo.

soetanoreoluwa:
Already playing for first team but not regular

Na lie, he was an academy player and never kicked a ball in Arsenal first team.

You wan make I open yanch?

Kog45:
Honestly Rohr has a lot to do and he must be radical in his approach.

I want to see Ndidi and Onazi competing as DMF,one should be on d bench.

Mikel drop a little bit as CMF with player like Etebo or Ogu competing with him not Agu.

Iwobi doing his thing at d right side with Moses Simeon slugging it out with him

V.Moses doing his thing at d left side with d likes of Musa on d sidelines,remember Musa did it well from that angle against Argentina.

Iheanacho playing behinds d top 9 w be an idea coz it w give him more room to express himself

Ighalo as top 9 for now coz not yet feasible player to unsurp him,how i wish Tammy can be available to compete with him.

Balogun, Ekong are good as it's now though things need to be done regards availability of back up CB,Awaziem is available, hope players like Felix Uduokhai, Tournarigba Ojokojo, Irofa w be available for selection, not forgetting Omeruo.

Shehu Abdullahi is a revelation hope he can keep it up,good to have Aina who is comfortable in both full backs and with Echiejele, Ebuhei.Hope we can still find one or two players to slug it out with them for better selection

Goalkeeping dept our greatest headache no thanks to Ikeme health issue but thank God for Ezenwa calmness.I still believe in Enyeama hope he get good club in January to fight for a place in d team and with Akpeyi, Ajiboye, Alampasu,with these five we should get good three to represent Nigeria at WC.

For the no 9 slot, Ighalo, Iheanacho, Martins, Kayode, Nwakaeme, Dessers, Dennis Bonaventure, Olayinka, Awoniyi, Osimhen, Ideye and Tammy Abraham are all in contention provided any of them do well this season.

No favourism or sentiment should be attached to selection to the world Cup.

You do well you are in but if you no do well you are out.

Mickael2:
and he is playing for Villa while Alex Iwobi is playing for Arsenal, sure

When was Iwobi invited to the national team? Was it as a Arsenal first team player or as an academy player?

Mujtahida:
Sorry Bro but it's like na only you know this Thiago Ilori (sarcasm)

Hahahahahah!

Kog45:
Honestly can u tell me something about Tiago,it seems u rate him highly.

Look, the same way I followed Balogun when he started out as a DMF before be was converted to CB, later RB and finally CB is the same way I followed most of our foreign players including Tiago Ilori whom I followed from his days at Sporting Lisbon to Granada, and from Granada to Bordeaux.

He was always making the team steady except when he was out due to injury.

Believe me, I know a very good player when I see one and you all should have known this since I am always a die hard supporter of these players even when they are nobody.

Mickael2:
Is Tega a SE player? No, no and No and we won't beg him when we already have enough

No body has approached Onomah. He is another version of Raheem Lawal and Alex Iwobi combined.

tbaba1234:
The main reinforcements are needed at the back. Awaziem is now 3rd choice CB, it seems. Agbo or Omeruo will likely get the 4th spot.

I feel we need reinforcements here.

Elderson has served us well but i do not think, he should be first choice at the world cup.

Awaziem and Agbo must be tested against Algeria before been considered 3rd or 4th choice CB.

No player should hide in the congregation to the world Cup.

Kog45:
Yea but NFF guys know him very well especially Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi,Segun Odegbami, Felix Owolabi,these people are enough to talk to him coz it seems he is d problem not d boy.

I don't expect him to be a stumbling block on this issue,he was a very local home based player then and i thought he should be happy seeing d boy played for Nigeria.

Kudos to Iwobi and Aina Fathers, see d join in their face, just like when someone child graduated from d university.They are just too happy seeing their children playing for Nigeria.

Hope Tammy Dad can do d same thing, though a lot are not happy with him now for coming out to denied Nigeria but hope he can have a rethink.

Ojokojo and Irofa fall my hand on their children coz they know d system very well and nobody should tell them before these guys pledge allegiance to Nigeria.

My wish is to see Felix Uduokhai,Ojokojo, Irofa in Nigeria colour and make d competition thick in d national team just like d way we are seeing Aina,Iwobi Balogun, Ekong doing it.

Tiago Ilori should also be considered.

jotey:
so mahrez is no longer top class


issokay

One. E remain another one.

ChrisKels:
I must say I'm sorry I dissed you when you first pointed out these loop holes. You actually were right, dude really is a waste man. He is anything but his name (success). He is a total disgrace to immense talent.

I ain't got no hope on him no more. I won't be surprised if Watford releases him in the near future. Dude should be playing in the Indian league.

How una wan take help this boy if una just dey lash am?

He needs mind education, I can offer it to him for free or direct him to our branch in England.

Mickael2:
you shot yourself there. You said Onazi played better as a CMF than Ndidi but somehow you said Ndidi covered for Agu while also playing his CMF position and everyone saw that we played better in the second half, so how did Onazi play better than Ndidi as CMF? Food for thought.

Agu did nothing fantastic except 5 interceptions which is what he was there to do. A dmf should not be doing anything fantastic, just sit in front of the defence and shield and Agu wasn't caught out of position

We dominated while Onazi lasted.

tbaba1234:
Games against Algeria, Zambia and Cameroon is as good as any grade A friendly.

You do not have to face Germany or Brazil to know how good your team is.

Mention at least one world class or top striker and winger our defenders faced.

I don't want us to go to the world Cup to make the numbers.

Mickael2:
For me he remains our third choice CB. And his inclusion in the world cup squad will be vital. Let's assume that Aina starts playing the LB position, we only have Shehu and Ebuehi who is not that high up Rohr's ladder, Omeruo can do more than a decent job at RB as well, he is a good ball player not just a tackler

Until we play a grade A friendly I don't take Shehu, Echiejile, Ekong, Balogun Aweriem, Agbo and Ugbo seriously

elyte89:
Ramon azeez ko,fatai atere ni

Abdul ajagun,peter olayinka,dressers, and all does players wey our unofficial scout in nairaland likes to mention,NONE Is going to world cup

Only Joel obi(DTS if he's 100percent fit and convince d coaching crew and Tammy Abraham changes his mind,dis re d only two player I c gate crashing d world cup list

Hahahahahah! Which name dey pepe you for body na?

Na you be the coach wey go decide who dey go World cup and who no dey go?

You believe Abdul Ajagun, Peter Olayinka and Dessers doesn’t have a place but Tammy Abraham and co have a place, ba!


The National team is not for any group of individuals but for all who are doing well in their various clubs.

Dedebanky85:
The closest that plays Onazi's style is Lawal due to defending. Ajagun and Joel are more attack minded. I rather turn the tv off thant watch heavy duty Raheem Lawal play for Naija. I just can never ever fancy that guys style of play. I'd play Rabiu Ali before Raheem Lawal in my MF. Yes he may have some passes but he's too slow and lethargic when in possesion.

. Besides, Joel Obi and Ajagun are all rounder and don't forget that Onazi was once an offensive player before he was converted to a DMF last season.

He plays as a CMF for us most times.

With his heavy duty play, he don play for Spain, come come turkey dey win MOTM left right and center. ..

Now, tell me what Azubuike has won so far in his first year in Turkish first division league so far with his light feather weight.


If you are talking about weight and pace, dem ask yourself what John Ogu and Mikel Obi is doing in the team.

denniece1:
Balogun had 3 tackles & 3 interceptions
Echiejile had 5 tackles & 5 interceptions, his problem was just being slow & didn't offer much going forward.

Your observation of Echiejile is spot on. Lack of speed is his undoing.
