Na me be coach? Why you come dey beg me? Abeg o..... hahahaha

I want Omanbala1 to come and explain to us how playing Shehu as a Wing back was a disaster.

Did he even watch the match?

Lol....just that ebuehi was more lively against Argentina...and he brought more urgency to our attack....
It seems the dude is good wit his passes and crosses too....

had mikel lay off that ball to him...I bet it would have resorted in something catastrophic....I mean against Argentina.

OMANBALA1:
Are you gonna be using Shehu and Idowu as wing backs or what? If so, how well do you think they can adjust in that role....Remember we have tried Shehu there and it was disastrous.

so you will play elderson as a wing back....?
someone who could not make a simple cross all through the World cup qualifers...

please bro...I rather we play Aina there.
elderson should just sit on the bench all through the tourney...

Icon4s:
For all those mentioning Joel Obi upandan. Notice I have never said anything about him.

I want to wait till he ends his season. The fitness condition he ends it with will determine.

That guy don disappoint pessin tire.

I remember keshi dropped him for G rubben and many of his players...prior the world cup in 2014...he was in the provusonal list...

I pray he stay fit...I will want him over etebo...

Icon4s:
Please tell us how playing Shehu as a Wing back was DISASTROUS.

oga please let us play ebuehi there abeg...
the guy played better in the last friendly....

afterall the formation is not new to him....i think he sometimes play in similar role for his club....

Humility17 you are a respected moniker here,pls you don't need it cos tribal accusations will turn this thread to a war zone that would not be comfortable for us all,so let continue with our football talk in a mature way.

Ethnic championings or accusers can carry on just ignored and move on.It's apparent some don't want to hear Igbo or Yoruba name but football is pure talent game not federal character schemes where the best are sacrificed for mediocre.

I have heard you sir...
thanks...so unfortunate some peeps have quick turned themselves to tribal bigot...

just read one...talking about persons have problem wit a particular kind of Name...dele.

it goes to reveal how screwed they're in reasoning....

even when the chief coach is not a Nigerian...also the Chan eagles coach is from the core north...still some still wanna turn it to tribalism.
Yusuf tribemen are dearth in the chan team he manages....but some peeps here are trying to bring tribalism into the his choice of goal keepers....

I just wanna play safe...here but anyone who want it dirty I don't mind play in the mud wit him....

Oasis007:
When TheGoodJoe warns, we ignore...... this is a repetition of what Dudes were saying before Iheanacho left Manchester City for Leicester City.

Ndidi shouldn't leave Leicester for Chelsea or any other big Teams at the moment. Let him continuing his Development at Leicester City.

I think a good outing come next world cup...will make it impossible for Leicester to keep him....
I will want him go to a team...like Liverpool,spurs or even outside England.

forgiveness:
I saw him yesterday too and I agree with what you said about his performance in the first half. He was woeful. However, he came up good in the second half just as you also agreed.

Well, since we are still discussing and hoping Felix Ukpobai and Tori will change their minds, I think it is allowed we discuss him too.

this players still wanna play for England.
the 3 lions is all they think....right now.

we just pray for a good outing at the world cup....that will go change their orientation and what they think about Nigeria...

mazimee:
It is true that Joel Obi is injury prone but he is a better player than Etebo. We just have to hope he will be fit through out the world cup.

I don't know much about Aiyenugba Dele, but I have seen enough of Daniel Akpeyi. He maybe be good at his club, but it seems like he will never get it right with the National team, Hence I will rather go for Dele Alampasu.

Okoye Maduka option is to avoid a repeat of Alaba incident. We don't know the stomoach that will give birth to the king.

our under 17 and 20 teams should be revisited to help keep and lure some of this foreign breed talents....

he should be invited to come train wit the super eagles...him and deji and then pass out to the under 20 coaches....also omidiji the young lad in netherland.

the problem is those cadet coaches always wanna market their own players...set of corrupt individuals.

junnyjake:
Don't you know Rorh is from Anambara state? Gernot Chukwuebuka Rorh

Lol....I thought he was from Imo state...

mazimee:
.



He has always been sentimental here, he was careful not to mention tribe from his previous comments so he won't look like a tribalist. I guess he couldn't hold it any longer

yeah ..I will advice him...to call out those he thinks are tribalist.
let him be more direct with his accusations...
maybe this time I will get banned for the first time....

some things pissed me off....
an adult crying like a baby...
for goodness sake the first vice president in the NFF is from southwest...even the south west has a bit more players than the northerners in the super eagles who don't even complain....I live here in the north...you need to see their undying love for the super eagles...despite the team been filled wit southerners...

and here...one person crying wolf just because others refuse to buy his idea...ideas that dont even sound reasonable.

forgiveness:
Stick to football and critical analyses of the game.

you sound odd....
mind you solanke and co...are British players it will make more sense if you go help convince this players...
until then....your words are in futility....
what has solanke done for Nigeria?
you talking like someone whose tribal or ethnic group is been marginalized...the last time I check this is sports thread and not politics....

please leave those tribal accusations out of your lame points because you won't like it...when these words go beyond this....


mind you I am not even ibo....if I should tell you my tribe..you will find out that I am even more closer to the Yorubas...
I believe many others here too....are not ibos as well....

you can't expect every sane individual to join in you bandwagon to honor and lick the toes of this players....who have chosen to play for England......

Mhizrohzz:
I'm good, my day was okay nd it went fine.. Thanks

please...I have sent you a pm.

Mhizrohzz:
I'm good, my day was okay nd it went fine.. Thanks

you welc...

Mhizrohzz:
I'm coming.. Lemme ask d holy spirit

hope you're good and your day...hope it went well?

lexyman:
this combination is hot , it will be nice against older teams ... we are going to experience a very fast game play , mikel should be able to slow the tempo of that kind of gameplay at will . having Sheu and idowu as 2 and 3 .

shehu?
you are joking bro....
how about ebuehi...the truth is ebuehi is well ahead of shehu offensively...the lad got good crosses...and for a wingback in 3-5-2 set up....ebuehi should start....ahead of shehu...

Icon4s:
You see.

I have said it here before....
better they play for under 23 and 21 side so as to keep match fit.
than sit all through the bench....I still remember what Liverpool bench did to Moses @the last world cup....
anyone who has got problem wit that...should look elsewhere...
every Nigeria who watch football knows what nacho and musa offers when they're in the field of play for the national team....


they should play in any team just to keep fit.....

Icon4s:
We go with a Right wing back option. Meaning we need just one RWB Back-up. You pick Moses as the first choice, leaving room for one slot from the RBs.

I think rohr have said it repeatedly...that the team to play gonna dictate the kind of formation to adopt...
and for V Moses....being that we can play the 4-4-1-1 sometimes....he perfectly fits into all the formations....so there won't be a problem having the 3 RB....in the team.

he can still play as a winger when we revert to the old formation...

Mhizrohzz:
This case weak me

the story could be a make up story....... only perverts do that....in such manner. you're beautiful @dp. hope you will love tell the secret behind your lovely smile....

safarigirl:
you are contradicting yourself.

Mujtahida said Nwakaeme should be given another opportunity. You said no time for trial and error because coaches are working on formations

Then you are now saying no new players till after World Cup. Is Nwakaeme a new player?

oh sorry...I thought he said Martins

safarigirl:
you want to add Henry and Kayode and drop who?

that's just the problem...how about adding iwobi to the midfiend options.....just to create 2 space upfront....or remove musa from that list...but that will be risky onsidering musa pedigree...I will opt for the first.

safarigirl:
he was subbed at the 75th minute. Onyekuru had a 25 minutes appearance

The only reason I'm staying away from the Nwakaeme argument is simply because like many had opined after that Algerian match, that pitch was too bad for anyone to show their real mettle and nay have hindered him.

We can say Ogu scored a 25-yard screamer on same pitch, but that is Ogu with longer legs and without the pressure of being tgw point man.

If Nwakaeme had been given a few minutes against Argentina and we saw him on a better pitch, I would have better argued his case.

I think sadly, that luck is really not on his side, if we had more time, maybe his situation would have been better, but it is too late to hold faith with anyone that is yet to prove himself to some extent

As it stands the battle for the last Forward spot is between:

Nwakaeme
Onyekuru
Kayode

And I think based on performance, Onyekuru is taking the lead, but Rohr may think differently.

PS: Rohr doesn't like Kayode. Those five minute cameos he gives him in virtually every match are testament to that.

I don't really agree wit your last paragraph that rohr don't like kayode....
I can remember he played for more minutes against Senegal during the friendly in the UK......

nwakeme goal scoring records this season probably may be the reason for his preference....
though I think rohr has sentiments towards certain players...like oshimen.
but I won't agree he does not like kayode....

I just think kayode need to add goals to his game @club level...that will help a great deal.
Henry and Kayode should both be icluded in the world cup party....both can as well the wings and the CF role.

forgiveness:
I have always known that Onyekuru is good but I do not see him as a CF.

Do you want me to show you how the Everton's fans are dying for Ademola Lukeman?


Don't forget Ademola Lukeman is more valuable than Henry Onyekuru.

hope ademola lukman makes the 3 lions world cup sqaud....
valauable...I can relate in the sense that he is English but talent wise you've got to be kidding....

he could not even gatecrash their last friendly games.....despite the massive injuries their key players suffered.

Mujtahida:
He was subbed at the 70-75 minute mark for Onyekuru. I am telling you what I know.

Some players, no matter how good they are in their leagues are not SE Material. Those who have followed SE for long know this. But like you said and I have also said in times past:let him be given another opportunity.

Kog45:
Bros not necessary to be on the same page with respect from both sides.

yeah....you're right sir.

komekn:
I addressed the issue in the main and not your person.

It's an open forum if you don't want criticism constructive or otherwise dont comment.

So I will enjoin you to address the issues and not evade from it. Don't be so emotive.

On the other hand when Nigeria play England soon and very soon. I will buy you a drink not sure whether it will be at Wembley or Trafford Park yet. But the drinks are on me whatever the location.

In terms of football circle I probably know more Nigerian national coaches and full international players than you can imagine. If you recall or have forgotten too, I actually went to watch Etebo in Warri stadium. I do believe my circle is wide and not limited to just England although it's my main area of speciality without doubt.

Being here is light humour for me and sometimes interesting playful past time.

With regards to luck I do not believe I am lucky at all. I am a entirely blessed because it's unexplainable by rational. So I consider my network 100% absolutely the favour of God. That makes me humble. I'm now personalising the issue so you will not be so deeply offended. You probably never come across me or me you, but there is no intention to offend as you clearly are.

such kind and matured words from you....#respect.

I don't know why we've never been on the same page.....we always up against each other comments...
maybe one-day we will toil same line....

Mujtahida:
Just say you don't want Martins because this your Ighalo yarns get as ee be. When I argued against the inclusion of Martins I based it entirely on my sentiments and I said so. Your attempt to rationalise why Ighalo will be invited and not Martins when both of them play in China, have almost the same goalscoring stats, when Ighalo has not scored a single goal with his head for us makes your points one kind, one kind Bro. Ighalo is not one known to be good with his head. Since Adepoju and maybe Agali we've not had any player that it can be said that that player is good with his head. None!
Better to argue against his inclusion on the grounds of team spirit path but not this points above.

please remind me how he scored the 3rd goal against the cameroonians in the last friendly we played in Brussels...

ighalo earned his super eagles call base on his exploit in the epl sometime ago....and since then...he has not dip in form in the eyes of the super eagles team handlers.....
some of you don't know...that players rating by coaches go beyond their performance in the field of play....
Mister training performance is also inclusive....ebuehi has never kicked a ball besides the Corsica friendly dude still gets invitation every now and then...reason because of what rohr sees in training......

so you keep....your lame reason for not wanting martins to yourself....but as for me...dude is not better than the players we currently have in the super eagles...

SupremeBeast:
yeah, I have noticed it but in life there always one person that we all look up to and respect so much that when they advice us we surely listen to them.

I think the Nff asks a person enyeama adores and respect most to speak to him. he might change his mind.

yeah...you're right.
enyeama on his own personality has pride...and kind of stubborn..
though he is a great guy and a very good goal keeper.....

I think he should let go of the past and as well just give the coach and Nigerians...this last respect......he don't need the nff to talk to him to rescind his Decision....

I read his response to the coach words...
the other time....he was already begin to have issues wit the coach....

well....let him stick to his retirement if that will.be best for him...though I will appreciate he returns....

safarigirl:
then he should rest in his house and allow people who still have young careers to use the Super Eagles to grow.

He doesn't need the team, so why the hell is anyone forcing him on a team that CLEARLY does not need him as well?

Lol.........
he first call this young players pretenders at some point...
pretenders scoring in their European club leagues weekly.........if the likes of Henry,yinka Dennis etc are pretenders so be it.....
better than one tired leg...in China playing wit Chinese players who can't even manage get their country to playoff spot in world cup qualifiers.....

I pick ighalo ahead of him even though they both play in China...ighalo is not just a striker good wit his legs but his head as well.....and @world a striker need both to excel.

mumemma:
Watchn Akpeyi on SS4,I guess its their cup finals.....He has been solid...Made an incredible save now.....I think he is our best bet......

please...if that guy will be among the Russia party...he should be kept far from the starting 11 him and ezenwa.

Rohr’s Scout Agali Hints – Bologna Forward Orji Could Take Kayode Eagles Spot



Red hot Bologna forward Orji Okonkwo could be in line for a first time call up according to the head scout of the Super Eagles Victor Agali during a radio interview monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com in Lagos.
Okonkwo has scored three goals in the Serie A from seven substitute appearance for Bologna, and Agali confirmed he is no doubt in the picture of the Super Eagles ahead of the World Cup in Russia.

” Every player doing well will be called up when the team resume preparations for the World Cup next year, just as some players not doing well for their club could lose their spot”, Agali said.
Although he didn’t mention the names of players who are on the brink of losing their national team spot, he however failed to provide any assurances that on loan Manchester City forward Olarewaju Kayode will be given a look in.

Kayode has struggled for game time at Girona since joining them on loan from Manchester City, and the forward who is presently out injured has also not made good use of the chances he has been given by coach of the Nigeria national team Gernot Rohr.

some people self....
just since they made him a scout...
he has been running his mouth like tap....

it is not under his prerogative to tell who gonna be the 3rd chioce striker....but the coach...
I would have apprecaite rohr keep away from some of this Nigerians...whose major drive is monetary rewards....and not the desire for glory....

who knows if all those dubious agents have not start to approach him.....

forgiveness:
Who was the highest goal scorer prior to that 2013 Afcon tournament?
IKECHUKWU UCHE. Gbam! EOD.

hope you're still living in 2013.....
those guys where good in their prime... and that has passed.

SupremeBeast:
exactly, if there was any player whom Nigerians should eagerly want back, I think that should be Vincent enyeama because Nigeria really needs leadership at the back.

my brother thank you.....
you really have eyes....but unfortunately enyeama don't look like one who will love to come back...
