Abeg, leave those guys with their shallow minds.

They sieve out a particular player and ask why do you defend this one. I be mumu?

abeg stop being drop this debate on who suppose make list and who nor suppose make list...
let's advocate on tactics, team formation and those we deem to be in our 23 man list...
this your talk don do.....okay.

Mujtahida:
The Nwakali guy is likely taking over from Mikel but the call for his inclusion in the WC team is over the top. Not yet.

what makes you think not yet....is it because of age wise or talent wise...?
how many super eagles current midfielders can connect the midfield with the attack like he does.....?
same mistake keshi made for not taking nancho to last world cup I believe nancho would have done better than at least one of those midfielders he paraded in that world cup...

krattoss:
But he has scored from penalty against Poland, assisted with a corner kick against cameroun, and also scored a free kick which was ruled offside against same cameroun.
As for the bolded, I hope u won't count my fvckup if I should call ur comments, decision and opinions stupid?

a disallowed goal is no goal.....
so forget about that story.... for now those who have scored from free kicks should be given such responsibility.
the problem currently with Moses in the super eagles late call arrival and all.... stems from the way rohr worship him, I think the German should do better than that..... all players should be given equal treatment what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander....

some times you see him dribble and refuse pass the ball even when his team mates are in better position to score.... that does not make sense....
sometimes I wonder if rohr talks to him at all..... he should be a leader in that team by now

Icon4s:
Oh God bless you sir.

Good we have people like you that always have balanced opinion here.

I saw that comment about Aina's father being involved in Aina's selection. I just ignored because I know it is a baseless point.

Those same people that are clamoring for Kelechi Nwakali today would still be the first to jump and call him a flop tomorrow.

I see no issues in Rohr giving Moses the break as long as they are both in agreement.

I agree with you...guys.
my only issue is that set piece thing.
he can't come in and be wasting our free kicks.... let rohr try them out and pick the best for that role....I stil believe kelechi and Simon Moses does better with free kicks

krattoss:
y all don't get one thing, was there in a way a tussle for the free kick or set pieces when Moses sets in? Don't u think if it's not the coach that orchesterd that order, he would have been challenged from taking the setpieces...c.ronaldo takes almost everything free kick and no man dares cough..

Why all these rants about our best weapon of mass destruction?
The nigga is a strong head no doubt but it's part of the managers job.. To manage strong heads which Rohr is doing perfectly well.. Why fuelling Rohr to start an unending brawl in the team that disorganized the team in the past and made his predecessors fail like pack of cards.

Rantings is a norm in life so people are free to rant. It's a free world.. But only the intellectually inclined ones will try and find out the reason what happened happened..

Ever heard of vic Moses escapades in Nigeria? How his parents were massacred in a crisis in Nigeria?
Don't u think these kinds of scenarios might make him wanna rethink bout his loyalty to Nigeria which he has benefited nothing much..??

That aside, things happen for reasons. Moses won't jettison out of the team Mundial preparations without a concrete excuse.
Most importantly, we re just fans and our opinions don't matter much, the coach and his crew is their to handle the matter which they re been paid for. Let's leave them to do their job and lets support them on whatever decision they take because we can really do nothing much.. And hope it pays

and still.hasn't registered a goal since he has been playing free kicks....
that was a stupid decision from the coach....

forgiveness:
This is an undiluted thruth. However, in addition, there is selective selection trending.

not surprised to anyone....you both reason alike..... wrong all the time.

just take a look at that one comment spilling trash that nwakali is using the super eagles boast his career...that he has no business in the SE.

only a thoroughly blind fellow will playdown nwakali display against Athletico.....
had it been he has a European passport he would have been in England still and not in netherland same with.... taiwo and Henry and also kayode...
our boys are deprived because of their background and not because they lack the talent....
so nwakali invitation and display yesterday shows that he merit the call up.... moreover he was called up obviously because of salisu quest to build a formidable under 23 team for next Olympic mudial...

Joebie:
@bolded lol Omanbala and myself are not even fighting..

trust you both....
moreover the penalties for such fight at a time like this...so huge. me Will personally fight both folks who dare fight this period.


wait oga joebie have you fought with anyone since you've been on these thread...?

OMANBALA1:
I am not saying he is not important but we can do better....With the way things are going I see a lot of youngsters who can displace him in no time...Chukwueze, Onyekuru, Ebere Nwakali are all capable of dribbling

especially that young boy in vallarel of Spain.
but for now Moses still remain a very important player for the super eagles

safarigirl:
Oh God! How are you guys failing this hard to decode someone's meaning?

See you, now, you just ranted for nothing. Joebie did not mean that comment in a tribal way. He meant it in the sense that Omanbala is acting FAMILIAR towards C Nwakali, and that familiarity could mean that his praises for Nwakali might not be coming from a pure place. That was why he used Komekn and Tammy (Tega) Abraham, as an example.

Una no go ask pesin to clarify, he was even teasing Omanbala, no be say he carry am for head like you.

The bolded is highly unnecessary and unfounded. Sheesh!

I will rather call omanlaba a pro African.... I think joebie never meant those words in a harsh tune...just for fun...
I remember he once joked with tega tribe sometime.
anyway I trust both parties to sort things out..
because it's just few days to our pre world cup matches...quarrels and tribal fight will not be tolerated here....
guilty folks will be show the way out of the thread....
this fee days Is enjoyment of watching our darling super eagles play.

andrew444:
Just because of 1 game against athletico madrid suddenly nwakali should be replace ogu,Nigerians matter tire me,thats why many Nigerians failed as a coach.

You will still be the one to complain when nwakali get a bad game,una get 10 mouth

oga not because of one game...ooo
I have always advocated for him to deputize mikel this forthcoming world cup....

mazimee:
FIFA rules and regulations governing the World Cup states that any replacements will have to come from the release list (provisional squad) – “the final list is limited to the players on the release list.”

that's bad...the folks that set those rules have no sympathy...
well we just hope mikel stay fit all through the world cup...

Martz101:
yea i know, but the friendlies might bring few headache, imagine lokosa or simi scoring hatrick in one of the top friendly, no coach will drop him.

I tell you my brother...even the small display of nwakali don dey make Nigerians want him included in the world cup party...even me self I don talk for his inclusion since...

Martz101:
seem fair too but the midfielders you can get goals from.
1. Etebo
2. Ogu
3. Mikel
4.Obi/Onazi/Ndidi

please can we replace ogu with nwakali...? is there any amendment nff can do to effect that... it will saddens me even get me depressed should nwakali not make this team. because he is good enough...

BascoVanVeli:
CHIDI NWACHUKWU - GO ROUND FC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crgyqZro11U

that wasn't a sexy goal....just that the goal keeper was completely useless

OMANBALA1:
Agu is equal to the task if you give him the chance but I dont know about his skill level. He is very strong and a better ball player than Onaze and Ndidi,So, if you can pick Ndidi ahead of Nwakali so is Agu. Agu has not been fully tested for like 90 minutes

bros abeg may we gently talk this one...
you mean agu can pass the ball better than nwakali....?
I bet you had it been agu played yesterday he won't have fair better than nwakali.
I will really want nwakali to get same few minutes agu have got in the GWG...you will see the difference....
yesterday nwakali made me feel Mikel"a presence on that pitch.. his ball control and killer passes was top notch
agu and co DM and sometimes play CM too but nwakali is an AM.

OMANBALA1:
I am tempted to take him and I probably would if there wasnt enough supply of midfielders but he can wait. Agu is even ahead of both brothers as at this time

But agu can't make good splitting passes like nwakali?
we need a midfielder that can pass the ball close to the way mikel does...someone that can connect the midfield with the attack...

Unlimited22:
Did you just say none of their home based players are In their national team? As In none? None?
Na WA for una

please go find out.... none of those guys were in the main team as at that time they played....us.
if the npfl players were that good...you it show in the CAF championships they have Been playing....
one can't give what he don't have.

Martz101:
oga calm down, you think if Aina was born and breed in Nigeria he will were he is now, Our NPL players ain't bad, there is just too many factors that's not helping them grow

Lol....do you know the rudiments and knowledge of football he has been exposed to?
the truth is aina not being born in nigeria says a lot about his development that we should maximize
the npfl lads still has more to learn just take a look at how well usman Mohamed has come of age...likewise nwakali...
the European clubs have developed and schooled them....

Martz101:
The fact that we want Echiejile out does not change the fact that Aina has not impress in the super eagles.

The home based eagle played with a better Morocco team and were beating, they were home and most of there players are national team players

are you sure you know that Morocco team well?
please stop sayn things you have little idea of ...

none of those Morocco Chan team were in their main.national team...virtually all their national team players are Europe based.
with many from Spanish and Dutch academics......
please try rewatch Nigeria vs Cameroon match in uyo again please.... that flip pass from Aina to moses is one thing elderson never did all through the match he played...
aina is way beyond the traditional kind of left back who sits back and don't join the attack.... the match against Algeria and Cameroon shows he can be very useful in nigeria counter attacking play than elderson.

forgiveness:
Do you mean players with the heart of a Lion are found in lowly second division leagues?

If Kelechi Nwakali is a player with a Lion's heart, how come he flopped in the Eredivise and got demoted to the lower division where he didn't show sign of one with Lion's heart?

Is there any sense in what you are saying?

Well, it is the normal Nigerian two faced double standard mentality that brought us here.

It began the first time we experienced coup in this country and it's still d same till date.

There shall be no peace with this kind of sense you are playing.

Lol.... with these yard stick of yours.... someone like shehu would not have got a look in.likewise Sunday mba of afcon 2013

some times there exist exceptions to these rules...
for now nwakali deserve train with the main super eagles.... play same way against Congo...he should be drafted into the 23 man list....

all I want is the good of the super eagles and nothing else...

forgiveness:
How can Kelechi Nwakali merit going to the world Cup?

I thought we have agreed that the best have been selected from the top leagues in Europe?

Did Nwakali play in one of the top leagues in Europe?

Didn't he flopped in the Eredivise in the first half of last season before he was demoted to second division?

Was he even spectacular in the second division of Eredivise where he played in the second half of the season?

Was he the best Nigerian player in his role in a top league in Europe last season?

How can you set a standard in the morning and break it at will in the evening?

Or is the standard applicable to some players and not to some players hence the bending of rules for some particular players?

How can we tell if our best player in Europe would have performed better than Nwakali tonight if invited?

Hahahahahaha! People can deceive themselves ooooooo.

Abeg go sleep.....
all you wrote there carries no sense...
thank rohr watched the young man play... and he knows what he wants....

who agreed with you that only the best players playing in big leagues should go to the world cup?

world cup are not for players in big leagues.....but players with the heart of a lion

Danielnino00:
Calm down chief.. Every great footballer started from somewhere small..Nwakali isn't the first,neither will he be the list talent to emerge out of Nigeria.. We shouldn't put unnecessary pressure on him at this stage..let him grow biko. its a gradual thing.. too much pressure on a young player can affect them negatively...
The talent is there today,but how far can he go?? Time will tell....

that shouldn't stop him from going to the world cup if he merits it....
I remember James was just in his early twenties in the last world cup where he shines for Colombia... same with sterling he played all the 3 lions matches and now I believe that experience will come handy in these year world cup....
same mistake keshi made for not taking kelechi to last world cup...
so please I will rather take nwakali to any of agbo, agu and even ogu.

ChrisKels:
Bia this humility boy, u dey make sense sometimes oo. The bolded is the best truth told by u since today. I love it

chief....I missed the first half... because of work duties. I was able to stream part of the second half online...bro that guy has ball control and eye for good passes...
i don't mind taking him to the world cup...even if he won't get to play much... he can come in replace odugwo mikel whenever he is tired.....
I will prefer him in the 10 role to iwobi...

elyte89:
Dt guy is good o,he has something special to add to eagles play Dan what agu,ogu,onazi would bring to d table, d 3players mentioned are DM.

My observation anyway

I have been sayn this bro.... but many aluko supporters wanna eat me raw..
it look as if mikel was in the field today.

goldfish80:
Does Aina look comfortable to you playing at left back so far in his few caps? Suggesting he is moved over to RB where is mostly comfortable as a right footer is what you call putting down?

but he plays there for Hull city this past season....?

bro... watch this guys play a reasonable opponet who really wanna win games before you start hype them...
me impressed but not to the point of hyping them...still remember the foolish games they played in CHAN especially in the final most of the goals today were individual brilliance from.the foreign legions... just take a look at how wasteful the NPFL strikers were.....

please sayn aina should be benched for an NPFL player whose club barely gets to the CAF league knock out stages.... is taking these excitement too far.

tbaba1234:
Players in camp

Ezenwa, Akpeyi, Uzoho, Ajiboye, Ekong, Aina, Echiejile, Ebuehi, Eze, Lokosa, Onazi, Omeruo, Ndidi, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Awaziem and Etebo.

how is ndidi please?

Icon4s:
Una wan attach Salisu to Pep.

Abeg be real jare.

no naaa just to under study am... it may not be pep just any reasonable manager he thinks he can learn from...

I still remember prior the Brazil 2014 world cup...then Ghana coach understudied some notable coaches in Europe.... and it reflected in their play especially against Germany if not for the discord in that team...I expected them to do well.

goldfish80:
First of all, they have the desire and passion to play for the team much more than a guy you go cap in hand and roll the red carpet for. And for reference purposes, I will like that Enyimba left back given a chance to fight for the left back position while Aina moves over to the rich back to slug it out with Ebuehi, then Shehu takes over from Ogu. Aina has hoofed and puffed in the left back position so far in his super eagles career. While Idowu's body language smarks the ambiance of a guy who is not in this for the long run. I say this because he often looks isolated and cold socially among the group. Maybe, I'm thinking too much but this is just my observation so far.

you should stop hyping this guys just because of one game wonder....
please let them play more games...then you can tell how good they're...

I still remember how they got embarrassed during the Chan final.... the home lads of Morocco ran riot on them...
please don't pull down aina to promote a player who can't stand the heat

Icon4s:
Nobody has given credits to Salisu Yusuf. Abi na only the players Waka come play?

I commended him above...for the first time he impressed me...
I really think he should try go on some coaching refreshers course...or understudy some of these world renowed managers like pep at least for a season.... that would improve his managerial prowess more....should he eventually becomes super eagles coach... after rohr

goldfish80:
The team played like they have been put together for years while the A team played those friendlies like they were were quickly put together at the stadium car park a couple of hours before the game.

you're very right sir...
for the first time salisu yusuf impressed me...
had it been a better striker played that match...it would have been better....
Some one like kayode or dessers was called instead even sadiq umar.

goldfish80:
I have enjoyed this game more than the organised rubbish the senior team served up against Poland and Serbia.

I tell you bro... the midfied was well linked with the attack....

Icon79:
Mhen, right now, I think Kelechi Nwakali merits an invite, yo.


O pari

I have alway said it.... though the aluko campaigners always find faults in my words... he is heir apparent to mikel throne in the midfield.... Some one if I was the coach...I will take to Russia. give him few minutes combo.
