The two games we have lost under Rohr had Ekong- Awaziem partnership... I'm not blaming them oo.. but Omeruo should b the one to deputize for Balogun.. Save for the costly blunders he make at times, I think Omeruo is still a decent player in the GWG

and you are citing the Zambian match...?
it's like you've forgotten that ikeme kept us in that game...had it been it was any of these other goalies....it would have been a different story...even omeruo gift the Zambians a goal in that match....

edi287:
Abi ooo. For the people forming Arséne Wenger of 15/16 season talking about "Cohesion" and "team spirit" as an excuse not to try out players are seeing it. We need an AM. Aluko should be invited for the next friendly. I don't mind trying out Samuel Kalu and Dessers for flair and attacking options.

why don't you go invite aluko yourself for rohr....?
what has aluko played this season?

dude will come in now and play trash... then we all will resort to start calling for another average player somewhere...to come boss the midfield....

darkelf:
True talk bro.
Even if na 5:0 we chop, we go dey use am console ourselves small

Lolllzzz....

andrew444:
Smiles nice one from you....but Lionel Messi hater spotted

I don't hate him....if Portugal was in our group I would have said same words.
Nigeria comes first before my affiliation to any player....

safarigirl:
bro, this is hardly our strongest team. It would be foolhardy to judge the tram based on this game, because this isn't the actual team

Dear I believe you...only that I am getting scared.
watching the Serbians today...all i see is Croatia.
I had to remind myself severally this is not the world cup just a friendly match.

andrew444:
lol Argentina na mumu team

abeg leave them...we all need this beating...
think Croatia and Iceland already taste of it...

my only pain is that...it would have gladden my heart...had it been messi played...

safarigirl:
you don't know that angle is necessary for Komekn's narrative?


I did not know our defense is filled with players from La Liga and EPL......BTW, of what use were the Premier League forwards in our team or even that Premier League midfielder from Serbia?

The Championship must be better than EPL

Lol...something tells me he only watched the match to see how good his English based players play......
his loyalty I think is more attached to anything England first....before Nigeria.

I don't blame him though....
I think rohr would have just field ajayi,Agbo,Gabriel and co...better we loose wit those guys...at least one can say...the Serbians played out weakest team...but with this loss....it gonna reduce so much confidence the fans have on these lads...
even me...my mind don dey shake

komekn:
CHEI AGAIN ANOTHER GOAL

Truth must be said we have been very poor.


A championship striker is bullying and terrorising our defence

who asked if the Serbian striker is a championship player?

dude is benefiting from a well coordinated play...you are trying to chip in something else.

Oasis007:
3 - 5 - 2 is the Answer. We've got too many Wing-backs in the Team than Full-backs.

Moreso.... I expect Rohr to trust Omeruo over Awaziem, and Agbo shouldn't be invited anymore.

I won't write off Joel yet, I wanna see his Combo with Mikel first.

I don't wanna see anything again....
let Rohr do anything he think best....

Oasis007:


Assuming we are leading, the same Person will tell you Uzoho is better than De Gea and Nigeria will win the World Cup this Year.

Lol....abeg leave our first lady...
you need see the way I patiently waited for this match...I didn't even bother go home from work....stop @ a viewing centre to enjoy the match...

safarigirl:
I am not even watching, thankfully

you save yourself...so much stress not.watching this match

great goal from the serbians....

MetalJigsaw:
Ighalo and Simon should have started the game

I am not really pleased wit rohr...
when will players like agbo, ajayi and Gabriel get to play?
at least one of them should get to start....

isan:
Calm down babe nothing happen I was only pointing out how people attack when your opinion is different from their own

it's like you don't know the difference between "attack and a contrasting opinion "
where did i attacked you from my comment...?

isan:
But at least he got invited ahead of dessert and co that u guys said are miles ahead him

it's like you have no idea...that sometimes chance and luck play a role in a man's success or fortunate drive...

let me make you understand...going by club ranks...shehu on paper wasn't qualified for the national team call up....many here will downplay his invitation...but dude took his opportunity well and never disappoint on the GWG...and the rest today is history....

same way it is....with ajayi...he may get invitee ahead of kayode,dessers and co but that doesn't mean he is better....

another case of note is Samuel kalu in belguim....so sometimes the best may not always get invited for obvious reasons known to the coach....

so please stop crying like one who just own a lottery he has been deprived of...dude has not even kicked a ball yet...not even sure if he gonna play... i will be happy he gets to play though...because his success will add more flavour to the team.....

TheSuperNerd:
Interesting angle. Thanks for this brief Exposé.

just googled it...well interesting story...

isan:
How a moniker attack me when i called for junior ajayi to be invited lol

I was never sold on his invitation...but now that he has been invited there is absolutely nothing I can do about it...rather than to support him and pray for him to do well...

because the success of the super eagles comes first than my personal opinion.

komekn:
Considering what we have, I would not fault your selection.

However, Ogu lacks pace and so does Mikel. I need a midfielder to back track quickly and cover ground.

For sure that's not Mikel role although he also lacks pace.

Therefore playing against a fast paced team in the world cup will leave us exposed. My preference is for Onazi.

With this team and the Nigerian gra gra mentality I expected quarter finals.


Add Obagoal and Aluko then Semi final

those two players will never make rohr world cup list....I can bet on that...
none of them will get called....
so the earlier you excuse yourself from that fantasy the better.

you put up good words and analysis up there..only to spoil it with the aluko and obagoal desire....

please let's support the super eagles regardless of our individual interest...I observe even if rohr should give a call up to all players we all long for on this thread...so many of us will still not be pleased....

I was thinking by now...citing the impossibility of including any of your British boys...in the super eagles set up for Russia... (the time for change of allegiance will take quite a longer time)
will make you change your mind for the time being support the crop of players we currently have...but that wasn't the case...rather you have chosen to keep crying for the inclusion of players...players that will never make the team...and I can bet you gonna keep chantinv for this guys even two days to the world cup....

komekn:
Tell them oh.

There is an overpowering smell of hypocritical double standard.

let me educate you a little...
dude never rejects Nigeria call up for obvious reasons you claim...he did so citing reasons that he is not there yet..and there are areas he still need to work on....

shortly afterwards his dad talked wit the nff on his behalf...giving the assurance that the next time he will be called upon he will gladly honor the invitation...which the lad did...

your lorfa is no way up to ebuehi shoes...
in skill, abilities and techniques...
I have told you severally because you live the UK shouldn't make you ignorant....you can simply Google this things online and read up....rather than cry double standard on things you have no knowledge of their happenings...

SerVik:
Nigeria was always the second option for Iorfa and his father, they were holding out for England and they felt their chances where brighter at Iorfa's young age.

The plan was that he'd play for England if the invitation came or if they showed any interest, but if there is no interest before 23 then they'd fall back to their 2nd choice. They wanted to play a fast one on us.

You're the one always harping it into our heads that 19 in football terms is no longer a young age. A player is supposed to have made those decisions even before 20. If I approach you when I need you and you turn me down citing a hogwash as excuse, best believe, when you need me, I won't even look you twice.

We are a moving train, we stopped for him and he refused to hop on, we've moved on. He should join the next train(England) if he thinks he possesses the necessary boarding pass(talent).

the problem now...is even the ilorfa is not as good as he was before...not even close to aina's level...I doubt rohr will overlook him..had it been he plays quality football

komekn:
Don't think Onyedinma merits it anymore he is off the boil, needs to get a better club or improve from kick and rush football.

Aluko has already been capped and did very well but did not agree to settle. His quality is known and his intention to play for Nigeria is also known.

Not Rohr but some officials have excluded him.

even if he does not merit it..now
what stopping him from visiting rohr...I don't think those visiting currently merit it...even tosin....but you got to show your readiness sometimes....

aluko I don't think is really bothered not playing for Nigeria...because if he was...he would have pay a visit to rohr...forget all those your lies against the nff...if he really wanna play..he should see the coach...a respectable German is in charge now...and not a Nigerian....

don't start tell me...those currently invited all pay for their call ups....
because you and forgiveness are always looking for something or someone to blame for the predicaments of the players you both promote here.....

why didn't the nff stop oliseh from inviting obagoal...?
your allegations against the nff lack substance...and deart of fact...

komekn:
Tell me one club in the EPL or Championship in England that offered him a contract

So playing in Kasimpasa will pay more than the championship Do you really think so

How much is the highest player in Kasimpasa on annually. There are a lot of championship players on over £50k a week.

The reality is he knows he will not be able to get a club to pay him big bucks in the championship sadly true, he simply is not rated highly. For him Turkey was probably a better option maybe. Than testing himself against better players and getting a move to the EPL.

so because he failed to get an English club to sign him...means he is not good enough?
you see your problem...you always judge everything from the prism of your little mind...fisted and mould only after English foot ball....

komekn:
You have used your own yardstick to condemn yourself.

Did you or did you not say I am only interested in English born players YES OR NO

I have talked about Etebo but then you will say I am tribalistic.

You are so emotively prejudiced you forgot to talk about all the Nigerian origin players from the UK that I said are not good enough.

To substantiate your position why not state all the UK players I have talked about in the context of the SE

You may then find yourself learning about yourself and your inability to be objective. It take humility to learn not pride.

oga komekn...i think you need the last sentence more than I do.....
your inability to balance your points and words on this thread...placed you on a wrong path...as one who only came here to promote borough players.....

you have failed to see beyond your nose...
you have so much to learn I think...

komekn:
I can say conclusively from the past that there was a culture of settlement and appeasement to retain your position in the NFF.

I even know a player who was captain of the national team expected to pay appeasement to show his gratitude.


Obagoal and Aluko refused to understand how things are done and where simply excluded.

the bolded makes no sense...at all.
your partner even argued that because he choose play for Nigeria....that's why he has been refused to be signed by epl clubs...

sometimes you both need to know...you are not talking to kids on this thread...as such learn be objective and rational in your words.

stanbillion200:
So the guy can even pass very well and they still decided to call Agu to the squad??

I tell you...the only Midfieder we need right now...is one who can pass the ball very well....somehow close like mikel.

Toylove:
I might slap my kid brother if he made that type of “gross” statement

Lollllz please don't make me laugh this evening. it's like you are new here bro... we have seen and read worse than this...
you've not seen anything yet.

ChrisKels:
Ogbeni Doherty is more reasonable and a through fan of Nigerian football. Thanks

exactly!

edi287:
Seriously why did NFF appoint that guy over someone like Finidi??

only pinnick and His cronies can answer that question... they're fond of taking one step forward.
and two steps backward. how will progress be made...

asha80:
let's hope it is not that serious too

if it will take him have a minor injury...just like two days injury for rohr to bench him....I don't mind...at all.
at least that will help us see ebuehi play...and also aina whoever is chosen...
tired of this rigid nature of rohr.

friendlies ought to be an opportunity to try new players....and get to know who amongst them fits your plans.

tbaba1234:
NPFL, how many late penalties were given to home teams today? I can count about 4....

The league can not improve when this continues to happen every year.. When you raise objections and you are a hater... The league needs serious intervention.

the problem now...is one unknow coach from the league was chosen to manage the under 20 team....and same coach have choose to transfer same aging players into the under 20 team......

it pains me...that we gonna have a statement in the age grade teams...

mazimee:
Nice one, just some few changes, My starting lineup.



..........................Uzoho

Ebuehi....... Ekong...... Awaziem...... Aina

................Agbo............Onazi.............

Iwobi..................Joel Obi............. Victor Moses

...............................Ajayi ..........

Subs: Omeruo, Ogu , Simon Moses, Iheanacho



Uzoho needs all the Experience and exposure he can get, so he should start. Ezenwa has played at a higher stage than him. He needs the exposure to be at par in comparison with Ezenwa, after all he has shown more propects than Ezenwa .

Agbo needs this friendly badly, so he must start. Ebuehi and Ogu were once in that situation but they among the favourites today after they were given their chances. We must see his quality. Who knows the stomach wey go born the Messiah?


Ajayi has been doing well in the Egyptian League which earned him his invite. If he performs well like he does in the Egyptian League, good for him. If he pulls a Nwakaeme on us, we will give him a Nwakaeme treatment. So he needs to start so that there will be no excuse of limited playing time.


the rest can come in from the bench if neccessiary.

perfect line up...but please let Moses Simon start ahead of iwobi...Alex can come in at half time...

tbaba1234:
Forget Onomah..

Eze and Ejaria are easy targets... Eze is scottish not English. Get them straight after the WC.

[b]
Tosin should play for the flying eagles]/b] .

who gonna invite him...definitely not those under 20 coaches who is hell bent marketing players...
it would prove better if foreign coach was hired for the under 20 instead...
many see this job role here in Nigeria as an avenue to market players and get change instead....
despite rohr romance wit maduka...I can bet you that under 20 coach won't even like see him let alone invite him because the dude gonna steal a slot he reserved for one goalie whom he desire to market....

just take a look at the old men they took to Egypt...
