Bonfere Jo finally handed his house keys for Atlanta 96 win. Chai, Nigeria!!!

ChrisKels:
Who else noticed that the one touch football we saw against Argentina have not been seen again since the return of Moses, Ighalo, Onazi, Joel and Shehu to the team?


Isn't a cause for concern?

Kog45:
Pls has Moses failed Nigeria?

It seems it's only on this thread am seeing us bashing Moses

Pls can you explain deeply why all of a sudden Moses is now a stumbling block to eagle's progress.

Abi not the same Moses of WC qualifier and Moses of Chelsea of just concluded season.

forgiveness:
Which kain question be this one?

Na today you start to dey watch Victor Moses playing for Nigeria?

Who created chances out of nothing in some of the matches we won the AFCON?

Go watch the those matches first then back and let us discuss this World cup qualifiers.

kennysville:
Chief..... nor dey compare sleep and death together. Na 2 different things.
Neymar to moses? No be insult u dey throw so? Abi we no dey watch premiership? La liga? Haba

forgiveness:
Victor Moses is what Hazard is to Belgium and what Neymar is to Brazil.

He's the best player in our team and he will not be benched if fit.

I saw Neymar against Croatia. He scored a goal out of nothing.

He should have passed the ball but he rather choosed to dribble which is selfishness to some here and he scored.

Victor Moses will start matches for us.

OMANBALA1:
Even if he is playing rubbish and not brainstorming with the team ,put him in because be is our best forward based on the fact that he scored more goals in the qualifiers. By the way, VicMo is not our most lethal striker. Dude is selfish and do not play with the team, I want see him sit on the bench so badly.

I want us to try a forward line that has Simmy, Ighalo and Nacho...These are players who can play passes and play with one another. I want team work that will lead to breakdown of defence

lexyman:
Opari master now you re talking for the success of the team .... i thought you will not shift ground .... cos in my mind i call you MR VICTORMOSES .


NO doubt he is a good player, but his selfishness has a lot to do on the team . the more he playes with the team the better for us , i saw one of our counter against Cameroon , he initiated the counted and it was finished in such a brilliant manner ...i think i will prefer him to play with his team , rather than all those nonsense dribbles.

kennysville:
No wahala na? Make him dey start ... dey hog ball dey go. Una go sing different tune soon

forgiveness:
I have answered your question by showing you how good they are.

All these talks are nothing but face saving. EOD

People should be intelligent enough to decipher the main point in a comment.

forgiveness:
If a player is not good how did he win MOTMs ahead of players better than himself?

Agu played in the Portuguese league, he won a MOTM award and made the Portuguese league team of the week 3 good times or more.

http://footballpremium.com/africa/mikel-agu-picked-for-portugal-team-of-week-for-third-time/

Agu went ahead to replicate the same form in the Turkish league. He won 3 MOTM awards despite being a DMF and made the team of the week not once or twice. Yet how good is he?

Ola Aina is not good but he has won 2 MOTM awards and championship team of the week not once in just his first full season in the Championship and yet he is not good?

Make una dey deceive una self.

gamaliel9:
With the exception of Oliseh,i have not seen a Nigerian player hit long range shots...Karibe Ojigwe tried to do that ...the rest were based on luck..not really talent or practice pitch technique...and constantly powering it....is it difficult to learn?

solonnachi:
I pray that Ola Aina and Mikel Agu do not turn their backs on Nigeria after the world cup. I believe the NFF may have promised Aina a world cup place & now he may feel disappointed. But the truth is that some players were never tested or some were not really tested eg. Junior Lokosa, Uche Agbo, Kelechi Nwakali, Umar Mohammed etc. They just need to all be patient. Simy, Joel Obi, Awaziem, Idowu, Uzoho were really lucky.

goldfish80:
He shouldn't have signed the contract if he knew he doesn't want to defend his list in front of a kangaroo committee.
By the way, that kangaroo committee interviewed and put a seal on his appointment. Without their signing off on his appointment, he wouldn't have been coach of Nigeria.

Martz101:
keeping them there was not necessary, other team are training with 23.

forgiveness:
Meaning, the technical committee are wasting tasks players money by doing nothing.

They should be disbanded.

TheGoodJoe:
I think the decision to work with the technical committee is down to the Coach. If he wants their inputs, fine. If he does not, it is fine. At the end, the technical committee will not bear the load of any criticism that comes with the job.

forgiveness:
Did Rohr signed the agreement? Answer yes or no

If yes why break an agreement to agreed to?

goldfish80:
The due process in the contract Rohr signed was that he will submit his list to the technical committee for vetting and defend his list in a press conference. Without checks and balances the system will crumble.

forgiveness:
Is the technical Committee not part of NFF, his employer?

forgiveness:
Poor Agbo. No single chance to prove himself. I think Alampasu too wasn't given a chance save for the Togo match.




NFF technical committee tackles Rohr over World Cup list

We were not consulted, says Lawal
A member of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical Committee, former Super Eagles midfielder, Garba Lawal, says coach Genrot Rohr did not consult them before announcing the squad for the World Cup in Russia.

Coach Gernot Rohr on Sunday made public a 23-man squad that will prosecute the Mundial, which begin on June 14.

Speaking with The Guardian yesterday, Lawal said none of the committee members was aware of the final list before it was disclosed to the public.

“I got to know about the list on the social media like every other Nigerian. And I was surprised that the technical committee was not told about the list before it was made public.


“It seems we don’t know what we are doing. Rohr is the one that can answer Nigerians why members like Fanny Amun, Victor Ikpeba, Mutiu Adepoju were not consulted.

“At this moment, whether we say yes to Rohr’s list or not, there is nothing we can do again since the final squad has be named,” he said.

The former defensive midfielder while reacting to the complaints on the inclusion of Ogenyi Onazi, said Rohr should be the one to answer the question.

“I am particularly sad that a player like Uche Agbo, who played week in, week out for his club, Standard Liege of Belgium was not given a chance to prove his worth.

“This guy is a utility player, who as a defensive midfielder, can also operate as a defender in the middle and at both wings. Yet such talent was dropped without a look in. I still believe there are qualities in the team that can make us proud in Russia,” he stated.

Monkey dey work Baboon dey chop.

Poor Agu. I feel for the boy the most. It was a very bad decision to drop him.

Since, Rohr wasn't confident enough to play Awaziem in the last 2 friendlies and even showed it by ignoring him for Ogu who he has converted to a CB, he should have been dropped for Agu.

The boy effort was just in vain. He's the monkey here. Yet Rohr wan use him as an object of mockery by turning him to training material and ball boy in camp.

Awaziem didn't contribute nada in the friendlies and qualifiers yet he's on the plane to Russia. Na wa ooooooo.



2018 World Cup: Ola Aina, Mikel refuse to be standby players in Super Eagles’ squad

The duo of Mikel Agu and Ola Aina have left the Super Eagles’ camp for their respective bases after they were dropped from Gernot Rohr’s final 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup.


Rohr had given both players permission to stay and train with the team as standy players, but they turned down the option.

Mikel Agu has flown back to Turkey, where he spent last season on loan to Bursaspor from FC Porto.


Aina, who knew about his fate even before the team departed England, decided to stay behind in London, instead of following the Eagles to their training camp in Austria.

Rohr has, however, assured the duo about their future with the national team.

Arsenal starlet Alex Iwobi has suggested that he is not playing in his best position for the Nigerian National Team.

The Hale End Academy product has played in a variety of roles for club and country, including left winger, right winger, left midfield, attacking midfield and center forward, but he prefers playing in the number ten role.

''For me, I have always grown up playing in number ten, not striker but close to the striker. That has always been my position growing up,'' Iwobi said to ACL Sports.

''I have learnt to adapt to a different position, I have played left midfield, I have played central midfield, I have played right midfield.

''I have played in a number of positions but my favourite position will probably be number ten.''

Leading up to the World Cup, Iwobi is one of Nigeria's most in-form offensive players, with four goals in his last seven matches for the Super Eagles.

This is the best time for them to leave APC for good, nothing worth dying for, if the original members of the APC don't want you in the party anymore why trying to make yourself stay, once beating twice shy

opribo:
So after doing all that do you know the toll on his health
All I'm saying is that they should just be themselves, be real, no dramas, and no playing to the gallery. JUST PREACH.

greggng:
Tell me which politician that doesn't have thugs who he sponsors. Those thugs work fir many politicians. .Anyways let them charge the matter to court but I see no case submission here. If I send my brother to school and he decides to join robbery gang , I guess he has to face the music not me that sent him.

opribo:
Aha, he is the one that used to talk nonstop like he is grasping for breath while preaching. I used to wonder at his age how long he will sustain that act. Preaching the gospel shouldn't exert so much energy after all the Lord said "For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”(Mathew 11:30)

Happy anniversary all the same.

Sainty92:
Germany leaves out Leroy Sane from final 23man squad..... Na wa oo. U sure say Joachim Low no smoke weed?

mazimee:
Wow, Playing for Nigeria is the best career decision Alex Iwobi has made so far in his young career. I love his personality and commitment to the team.

He will be a huge inspiration to most fb in the future.

Harrynight:
I expected coachie to drop that guy wey look like Flavour abi Joel Obi be him name

AIG07:
I think it's hi-time Rohr sits V. Moses down and let him understand the Mission of the team in Russia. Moses needs to see and put the team first ahead of any personal glory.

If Moses can assure him(ROHR) and the team to be discipline in any role given to him, I don't see a reason why he can't be played as a WB most especially a LWB(though have been against this all this while). Going forward, we need to have all hands on deck.

We can then Line-up this way. Still 3-5-2

UZOHO

EKONG(RCB)-BALOGUN(CB)-OMUERO(LCB)

EBUEHI(RWB)-NDIDI(DMF)-IWOBI(AMF)-MIKEL(CMF)-MOSES(LWB)

IHEANACHO(CF)-IGHALO(CF).

With this kind of set up, we should be able to stand our own ground against anyside. IDOWU can always deputise for both WBs.
