TheGoodJoe:

You do not know and Kelz Nwakali still shows potential.

Kelz Nwakali made it into the team because he has an asset that is important to the manager. We do not have another player that has that skill set. So what is your advice? The coach should abandon his philosophy?

The more deserving players are really not more deserving if they do not have an exact skill set important to the manager. It is the player with the skillset that is more deserving.

This your defense does not follow at all

He replied you with mere wisdom.
The Vardy you referenced wasn't called up when he was in the championship simply because he has skill sets the manager needs blabla skill sets that birth no goals or assist in a full season

Nwakali simply made this team out of preferential treatment and the system we practise in Nigeria where merit barely thrives. He does not merit that list

IDENNAA:
So , brother , you think Nwakali and Aribo had the same struggle ? A boy who waa born and raised in a first world England with all the government social programs for indigent families , security and regard for human life is being compared to another from a third world country where one senator pockets a salary that could feed a whole village! This sort of mentality is hurtful to all the children suffering because of wickedness of their leaders.

Aribo dropped out of college because he has no interest in university education not because his parents could not npay his fees or the government could not provide financial aid....you must not defend nonsense just to winargument.

How about compare your nwakali with Ndidi/Oshimen/Nacho/Awaziem etc who had similiar struggles

U need to come to terms that the reason for your Nwakali stunted growth is not because he was born and groomed in Nigeria but because he is simply lazy and refuse to take his chances

You think it is easy in europe too That's why i doubt if you truly reside in America

TheGoodJoe:
Then you don't know me. I have a history of having faith in people. I don't write people off easily. I also believe in giving people opportunity.

When guys wrote Nacho off, I was one behind him. Even at the time he was left on the bench by Shakespeare, I still stood by him.

During the Slowbi time, I stood firmly by Mikel because I don't write people off easily.

Just like when Siasia's match fixing case came up. I stood by him.

Osaze Odemwingie and the Queen Parks Rangers transfer case, I stood by Osaze.

To you, it is supporting mediocrity, to me, it is giving people an opportunity just to prove themselves.

Good to know Mr..Goodjoe

You're someone i respect here
Pls you see that Nwakali just see him as prospect and dont join the bandwagon promote mediocrity...

The way you guys were dancing all over the thread last night as if it was prime Zidane playing
One even categorise his play as sexy bla bla
Sexy play and passes that didn't birth any goal

And now one from your contingents is saying Nwakali is better than Aribo

It is neusating

Kog45:
That's not even the issue,Aribo and Nwakili are two young Nigerians that we should all be proud of but presently one is doing great while the other one is pushing harder to have his career back and good for this opportunity coming up,Nwakili can come good.

Aribo was a university drop out,from non league player to a national team player is something great.He earned it not that he lobbied for it,a debut against Brazil with a goal and followed it up with a goal against Ukraine.

Fact,Nwakili has Aribo to displace and Aribo need to raise his game to put Nwakili on the bench not forgetting experience Alex Iwobi.

Does Nwakali look like someone pushing harder to You

Pls I don't like belittle a player but will be very angry see peeps here compare him with Aribo or even Iwobi

Karlovych:
Sadiq Umar like Nwakali struggled earlier in his career at Roma and Rangers, went to Serbia where he performed and now at Almeria where he has been one of the best players in the league and for his team.
The same can't be said about Nwakali he is neither one of the best players in his team or in the league. As much as I'm not a big fan of second division football at least Umar made a case for himself.
All this your talk of proper midfield controller in nonsense because all forms of the current midfielders we have CM,AM,DM all have more goal contribution than him in a much more tougher and better league

God forbid i support mediocrity even amoo is doing so well in Sweden

Only a blinded person will say Nwakali trump Aribo

komekn:
You are an incorrigible bigoted TRIBALIST.

It seems the excess vitamin D you are getting from the hot dry sun in Burkina Faso has befuddled your brain.

I just dont understand him

He writes like someone who is angry and bitter with life. It seems life hasn't been fair to him

See him analyse issues as a tribalist and football matters as someone angry and bitter at certain players for making progress and as if they're responsible for woes of his favourite mediocre players

dijon:
Look well bro...Thegoodjoe is on agenda.....
I dont take him and some fellas serious again with their contributions on SE matters.

I think you're right
I didn't really expect him to be promoting mediocrity here so unlike him

do4luv14:
who Austin hosting a coaching clinic,

show me a pics, of such or ahdonbilivt

Wetin I nor read for nairaland
Not Amunike Again now Austin hosting a coaching clinic

Same Austin that have not been able to Obtain his UEFA coaching badge for years now...

charlesemeka85:
pple wey no Dey use eye see euro born players

If eguavoen summited the first list I bet you this guys won’t be accommodated in the team anymore

Foreign born players nor know how to sort na
They're naive of how some unknow Nigeria born players get call ups

Nigeria coaches ehhh thank God that Portuguese was appointed

drDoom3:
If you play a striker as a defensive midfielder you cannot expect him to play well. Everybody and their parents know that Aribo plays best the closer he gets to the opponents' goal. I don't know why Rohr adamantly refused to play him where he is best utilized. It is not his fault he has not performed as well as expected.

Nwakali is not going to bench Aribo as an AM. He could as a CM or if Eguavoen decides to follow ERohr's footsteps, but if not tthen forget it. Nwakali still has a long way to go to get to Iwobi's level, let alone Aribo.

God bless you bro
You are unbiased

Danielnino00:
I can't agree with that until I see him play one for the super eagles...

Thank you
A player that has no goal or assist to his name all season is a better set piece taker

What will someone not read on nairaland does not exist

AndSunGorilla:
How are you sure his Dessers club will release him now especially cos it's already a late invitation.

He is not a starter for his club but super sub

He can be released had it been Rohr included him on the 40 man list

IDENNAA:
So , you have the temerity to give excuses why Aribo has not impressed and even went further to to deafen us with all these qualities that made Aribo superior to Nwakali ? Just reread the thing you wrote and tell me you didn't see the bigotry and bias in that post that is good for the toilet drains.

In the last three matches Aribo played for SE he has no impressed , showed skills nor held the midfield with these invincible qualities he possessed. Anyways , whether you like it or not Nwakali is coming to camp and your fears will know no bounds. Sorry

Aribo scored on his debut in high profile matches against Ukraine and Brazil
What has Nwakali done in high profile super eagles matches

Ohh I forgot...he has never merited a call up

So you believe a segunda B player is better than a player bossing it in the Scottish league

You guys and Sentiments are like 5&6

You need to understand that your nwakali just like Azubuike u try pass down our throats here as it is now is a mediocre player and it is the bitter truth he gets that call up simply because of the kind of system that exist in Nigeria and not on merit

IDENNAA:
Nwakali is the best set piece taker. Don't you know this or you are being intentionally ignorant. You know it , so , don't pretend.

How many has he scored for his club this season

victornoah:
That's how I wasted my data watching Messi Nwakali playing rubbish. It beats my imagination to think that this is the gamechanger people here are clamouring for.

With what I have seen thus far, Nwakali has nothing to offer. No passion, no pace, zero marking. This is the real time bomb waiting to go BOOM.

Bro...the fans will come tell u how he was the modric and pirlo of the team

Just leave them...I have always say this...if the dude was that good he won't be in segunda B

komekn:
Meanwhile let me see how Chelsea are going to win this game against Liverpool.

Tuchel over his big ego dropping Lukaku.

Playing the flop Kai Havertz in his place.

I think it is better you stick to hyping your innit boys here and forcing them down our throats than meddle in Chelsea matters

If u know so well... You won't put up those words or call Havertz flop. I know the reason for those words is because he is German.

TheGoodJoe:

Can you honestly compare that to the level of exposure european young players get? It is not one tenth but you feel it is enough.

Mbok, fear God.

The way you've been supporting mediocrity is getting out of hand

So you expect the coach to be using SE national team to test those junkies form the NPFL in the name of unearthing talents? Same nonsense keshi was doing that he went give an unknow player the famous No. 10 jersey and also starts to feature the likes of Gambo and co at the expense of better experience players cutting it in European leagues

You should be the one that should fear God because if an home based player cannot prove himself in CHAN or WAFU team he has no business in the SE

komekn:
You do not take talent to your senior national team.

You take established, consistent, outstanding quality and the top performing players in their club and league. And those top performing players ,clubs and leagues are not in the NPFL.

The U23 and U17 coaches should be looking at local talent that they may develop not the senior national team coach.

The bold is a reflection of misplaced priority and a coach who has not understood his core purpose and focus.

Put in the mix our historical and continuous penchant for selecting players not on merit but other considerations ,that we all know well.

I agree with

The under 17, 20,WAFU and CHAN team is enough for any serious country to unearth home groomed talents and not the senior team

JoyIsSweet:
Liga 2 Superstar! Na to comot mind for the guy matter. He seems not to fancy better career.

When we talk here some of his blind fans will think we don't like him
Dude is not a serious player

yinkeys:
Ola Aina is better than Zaidu

You guys should stop this place

Ola is better than Zaidu in which areas...better you say the aspect one trump the other instead of the vague word you put up there. There are areas Zaidu seems better than Aina and there are areas Aina proves better

Subzero047:
You think attacking is overlapping and running the ball out of play, Ebuehi is more intelligent to make combination passes and through balls and over the top balls while still maintaining his defensive solidity

I think Andrew is right
Aina is more attacking minded

andrewbaba44:
Don’t mind them

Ndidi is a defensive midfielder doing his job well but my people are not satisfied

Dem want make e take ball Dey dance skelewu and Dey give passes like Pirlo before dem go satisfy

Funny set of people

Last nations cup he didn't really do well with giving away of free kicks in dangerous places

I expect him to bring out his best this month and lets see that A game of his

andrewbaba44:
Ebuehi cannot support the attack as much as aina

Aina is more attacking

Aina is more attacking. Ebuehi is way good in crosses though better than Aina.

andrewbaba44:
Everything you said was spot on

Well said

Yes bro
Thanks

Pls this new Portuguese coach hope he is not conservative like Rohr

ROHR almost ruined the super eagles with his conservative attitude. He knows how to scout and lure fo reign born players but rarely knows how to use them and get the best from them

Danielnino00:
Iheanacho stopped playing that role since the u-13 world cup... he doesn't have the skillset anymore..

It's not a must we use a number 10.. A lot of teams don't use a number 10 anymore...

We just want at least two midfielders that help connect the midfield with attack from the centre
That's why you see us clamour for 10 or AM role

If we have nacho in the field to link midfield with attack or Iwobi it's fine

charlesemeka85:
I don’t really know what you guys expect from ndidi in the super eagles

Dude for crying out loud is a dm and in that particular position carries out his duties and responsibilities very well

Are you expecting him to turn to a jay jay, dance around the park and score hattricks with dozen of assist in each game? Abi u Dey expect am to be a yekini who ought to have atleast 20 goals for the team so far? Or expecting him to be a mikel who should detect the teams transition from midfield to attack?

Ndidi is an out to out dm and a destroyer and is high time you guys let the guy me

The oliseh we today still rate as the best dm ever in the national team had only a goal and few assist during his time

Nawaooo!

May e dey use e head

He is a tall player, him,Ekong,balogun etc and still can't use their head score goals when we have corner kicks. Yobo was exceptional in this light

I just want this aforementioned players to bring something within them to boast their offensive prowess

Gammfreak:
Nice suggestion but have nwakali been tested well in that position, is not when we put him there, the midfield becomes scattered..... Sometimes we don't appreciate iwobi's job in eagles shirt...
2. Aina is good but if we need someone that will support chukwueze in attack especially when we need goals, I think Ebuehi will fit in.
3. I would have preferred 4-3-3 oo

I am so happy with call ups for Ajayi, Olayinka and Ebuehi

I have always admired Olayinka reason him being a very good LWF that can score and assist so well....he is unselfish and knows when to release the ball. Rohr never gave him a fair trail so with him on that wing I am relaxed if he gets to play

Semi AJAYI is one player that won't make me miss Akpo much. He can use his head and he is goal scoring defender though he won't provide Balogun experience wholesale but he is someone that makes for versatility too as a DM he is better than Innocent Bonke when it comes to DM role for super eagles... I like him and I pray he brings his A game to bare

For Ebuehi we all know his commitments, the spirit he brings to camp and discipline. Dude never got angry or speak rude words when be kept sitting on the bench for shehu and others

ROHR kept him on the bench whenever he gets invited and sometimes he is on standby list but still he kept calm and didn't make noise. Such a player has character and will not disrupt the team when he does not get to play for tactical reasons and when he gets to play we know what he brings to the table.

Since Coach Austin made this additions I have relaxed and seek to enjoy the show and wish him well

For Henry Onyekuru I pray he shines though i would have prefer Dessers...Rohr is to be blamed for that though very annoying coach

Samueltemi337:
osimhen will sign for Madrid while ndidi will sign for United


Na only sports vision the person dey see

We'll know how true is this if we get paired with Mali for the world cup qualifications play offs

ChrisKels:
No Danny, the whole blame should be on the Franco-German bingo. How do you invite players in both friendlies and inconsequential matches withouth giving them minutes and you expect them to be happy? Imagine what he did to Uche Agbo. Not every player will take such nonsense from such a low class coach. I played this game and I know how it hurts when you are disrespected as a player by not giving you your due chance. That man nearly cost us a world cup place in 2018 when he insisted on Shehu(an ineligible player) in an inconsequential match against Algeria leaving out on the bench, an eligible Tyronne who had hardly seen minutes since his clearance. That man destroyed our team and I thank God he has been shown the exit door.

ROHR was a very terrible super eagles coach

So scared of failure and not daring

Hope you've read the tweets now
Because you've turned yourself to some of this players attorney here

temi1290:
Nothing annoys me more than that bs talk of "he's a broiler" or "he's not used too and can't play african football".

The same "African football" that always flatter to deceive at the world stage. So much for African football that every African country at the last WC were eliminated at the group stage. Five countries and none could go past the group stage, never had a semi-finalist .

African football my foot.

Comrade pls lower your voice

That guy reason ehh dey baffle me

IDENNAA:
Don't speak on maatters you know nothing about. I have had many encounters with Andrew and some without him but he joined to rain insult on me. Why ? Because I love Nwakali , Mikel Agu and Azubike Okechukwu.....e don finish.

Dont go and swear on issues you know nothing about.

The bottomline is the moderator of this thread is grossly incompetent! I have reported on many occasions where rules were being broken left and right and he turned a blind eye. This same sad sack of a moderator would still criticize the Nigerian government...Semid is a trashh of a moderator...ffuck this moderator!

Only a patient and some one from your clan will not pick issues with you for promoting those mediocre players in the first bolded

Those players are strictly below average now and instead you belittle players cutting it in renowed clubs in europe Ndidi, Iwobi and other innit boys so tell me who in his right senses will not see something wrong with that and when the discuss get tensed insult go flow

For the last bolded. The MODs tend to be quiet here reason because he think and see us here as friends that argue, fight, resolve and still play with each other after the whole rumble reason why he hardly meddle into issues here and if he was to meddle into issues like you're suggesting you'll be one of those that will be banned for like 22 years

Abeg na joke I dey ooo

Happy New Year Nwoke Oma Mazi Idenna
