Philosopher1979:
MY AFCON ATTACK

Our attack should be Samuel Chukwueze, Chidera Ejuke in the wings
playing just behind Sadiq Umar as our top striker.
This way, we have 3 dribblers in our midfield and attack.
We can even play with 3 defensive midfielders with these kind of players in our attack.
Also, Nwakali can be tried in midfield to see how good he can be.
I mean Nwakali with 2 defensive midfielders.
Iwobi needs help, competition and rest in that midfield role of his.
He is overworked playing for Nigeria.
I just hope Nwakali will take his chance.
If he does not play well, then he has himself to blame
If he plays well, then it will help his career

You've said it all

Well said please replace Nwakali with Aribo

jihday:
Nwakali that they helped his life sef never show , he dey der dey do Instagram live. No wahala

I have always say this the reason why the dude is where he is clubwise is because of he is not ambitious and very unserious with his career

Talent is not enough, what effort does he put to better his career daily,weekly and monthly
Just like a brilliant student who does not do extra study when he get to leave the class every day and even during exams he will remain average or even below average....

Many canvassing for him here dont know this, wish they can pass a message to him... to be hungry and work train extra to build his potential and abilities

ChrisKels:
Na guess work Solace dey do there.

Ask yourself why is the NFF handicapped if they truly sent the mail same time Ekong's and others were sent. I thought you were a lawyer

You made some good point
No I am not a lawyer

ChrisKels:
Be smart nah, Humidity, do you want me to tell you my intentions before you know it? Nawa oo

I knew it abeg I nor want that guy and musa to start any match. They can always make comeo appearance

CODMOK:
LoL. The guy thinks he will be at Watford for life. Even Deeney (Watford legend) still comot for the club so who Dennis be?. He can never make the SE squad if this is true. The earlier he starts fighting for the shirt now the better for his international career.

I don't believe the story sha because with a WC coming up and a new coach in charge, it's actually a foolish decision to make.

Let's see what comes out soon we will get to know the truth

Also.. I believe partly because Dennis have always been said to have attitude issues and proud

Odunayaw:
I don wash hand now

Even me may e get issues with Coach Austin
Nor fit accuse am for that one sef

ChrisKels:
That is not true. Dennis was never invited when others were invited, what informed his inclusion in the already made list was his recent form, that is the only reason Watford was able to withhold him, that is the only reason NFF can't do nothing about it. You are not a dumbo, so you should know that the NFF will have a case to make if the invites were sent same period Ekong's was sent. Use your head.

But how about the info from Solace ?

If what you put up there is true... Rohr is a menace sha. What offense did Dennis commit that made him to keep omitting his name then even in those qualifiers Dennis deserves a look in. He was in good form then but Rohr snubbed him and even the NFF submitted a list without Dennis being included and they didn't question the German

ChrisKels:
I pray he leads the line. He is the most experienced, but I want him to be flanked by Ejike and Musa(another experienced player)

Experience bawo
The way the dude played in the last match shows he is not as sharp, clinical, fluid and astute as he used to be...And u know he was an average striker before

So imagine.... we need some one who is more sharp and hungry

Subzero047:
This is from Solace Chukwu on Emmanuel Dennis, for those believing one Mao from Twitter space

If it is true
Dennis should be left alone
He is not fit for super eagles
It is utterly disrespectful to make such demands

zuchyblink:
Some people will quite this thread because Dennis and Osimehn won't be going to Cameroon,their arch enemy Ighalo is expected to lead the line

God forbid he leads the line

Umar Sadiq will seize the opportunity

ChrisKels:
No bro, I want Ighalo there, Iheanacho should be made to sit.

Are you serious Are those words from good intentions?

Odunayaw:
I'm tired of you. Bring proof Lookman has been cleared and NFF is lying or you're a clown

Leave him if you're tired Odunayaw

do4luv14:
hmm your last paragraph was right, but that technical committee sef mitscheww

that General secretary should be fired asap, he/she had fail in his/her simple duties

You see bro
I won't blame pinnick for this one
That General sec who is a permanent sec. Is to be blamed

He messed this up

charlesemeka85:

Now i have reason to fear him messing around with agents

Triniti:
I know you are passionate about the team and wants them to perform very well, but sometimes, things don’t always work the way we want them. The guys you mentioned has been with the team for a longtime and hardly gets to play.

They are not the fulcrum of the team and look at you mentioning Bassey, a guy that has not been tested on the international scene, this is just his breakaway season.

It’s a national team, you just don’t overhaul like that, you integrate players gradually, blame Rohr for Ebuehi,Kevin and Dessers predicaments. Austin has nothing to do with it.

Thanks for your civil response

Bless u

Triniti:
You are beginning to sound like a broken record, what’s lopsided about the team list? That your favorite players like Dessers, kelvin and Ebuehi didn’t make the team list, is that why the list is lopsided?

Rohr that invited these guys never gave any of them a chance to showcase what they can do, now you are referring to coach that has less that 2 weeks to prepare for a major tournament as a fraud.

I told you before, you need to get a firm grip of your emotions, you are a man for crying out loud.

Your reason is shady

A list that omitted players like Akpo, Ebuehi and Bassey for Olise, Omeruo,Collins and shehu is not lopsided to U? And also include Nwakali with no goal or assist this season

Sometimes the fact that you can't speak the truth does not mean u should berate others who dare speak the truth
As long as the Coach have not grant a press conference to explain the rationale behind those call ups the list still not acceptable to many fans

Your last paragraph shows you have a problem with the way you decode my write ups...
You really need to meet me in real life to know that what I put up here ends here and barely taken to heart or seriously.

komekn:
And so are you with your negative prejudice based on emotive sentiment not facts or objectivity.

The problem I have with u is that you is that you're parochial in your perception of things

You need to open up your mind

andrewbaba44:
Onyekuru to replace osimhen instead of them to replace him with a midfielder

Even if na forward Dem wan use replace osimhen it should never be a poor player like onyekuru

I tell you bro
I just hope it is a rumour

TheGoodJoe:
Some of you are forgetting Eguavoen was the on-field captain of Clemens Westerhof when we won the AFCON in 1994. So he had a big understanding of the tactics and it plays a big part in the way the team will pray.


I am hoping for the best of the team and pray the guys do very well in the competition.

I am not just praying for Eguavoen to have a good tournament. I am praying for the team to win that cup. That is my hope and prayer.

I wonder what yours is.

I pray God grants us victory.

I want the team to succeed thats why I am so concerned but i see him toiling Rohr path already and that scares me

Any coach with fair and unbiased team selection with little knowledge of tactics and team cohesion can achieve much wit the super eagles

12large1:
Let’s not call our brother a “fraud” without evidence. Personally, I disagree with some of his selections but calling him fraud without any corroborative evidence is wrong.. remember that Keshi used homegrown talent like oboabona and mba ahead of established players like igiebor and yobo and still won an ANC..

Okay Bro

It is just so annoying when some hardworking players get overlooked

Philosopher1979:
There are several people here who say Zaidu Sanusi is not goo enough and lacks positional intelligence
but he keeps entering the first team of porto despite competition from wendel.
I dont understand but i believe he must be a good player to be in porto first team and play so many matches a season.
He even had 2 key passes in this match which shows he can create chances

Nobody here fault his inclusion in the 28 man list

It is the inclusion of names like Omeruo, Ndah, Collins and Shehu that raised dust in that defense

TheGoodJoe:


I hope you know Eguavoen has been in camp with Ndah and Nwakali before.

Just pray this Equeavon does not flop
Because with this tactics you guys are using to defend his lopsided list

A man that spend minutes talk on how the 1994 team plays instead of revealing his own team tactics and approach to games but instead all he was dishing out was westerwolf tactics and team play.

I am not worried..been that after afcon he will be replaced and when Pinnick leaves him and Aigbogun will leave with him

Some of this Indigenous Coaches always proves the fraud and corrupt nature that have limited their progress all this while

Right in Leicester you will see the Kolou Toure cutting it in coaching same with Yaya Toure in Russia and Frimpong in Switzerland and many other Africa countries ex players but for our ex internationals nothing of such to be attached to them....all they talk when opportune reveal team tactics is to reveal how the 1994 team plays as if the 1994 team won a world cup or even got to the semi finals of the mundial

Keep raising the embers of mediocrity will remind u when the Coach You're busy defending shows how inept he is

Damioduso1:
Henry Onyekuru to replace Victor Osmihen. I could have prefer a Cyril Desser cos of his current form for his club side

Fear indigenous coaches
Dessers is one of the most inform Nigeria forward at the moment but because he is a foreign born He will be ignored

That's sum up the reason why this indigenous coaches barely make progress outside Nigeria... because no system can tolerate their corrupt and biased nature

You will see them jostling round the national team as if their life depends on it

Joebie:
I have 10 days to train I will trust a proven player in a higher league to adapt to various tactics if I plan to be dynamic.
This man has one way he wants to play. Don't expect dynamism.

Gbam

The claim that the time frame is short is just an excuse that don't hold water

kingphilip:
So you were clamoring for Rohr sack due to player selection?

Wow tell me something

Rohr was sacked because of how his team plays...it didn't impress the lost, wins and draws and this was because of team tactics and players fielded which all stems from players selection

How Simon, Ekong and Collins etc kept playing nonsense and none got dropped played a role in the abysmal play of the super eagles

Oga as it is now we expect whoever replaced rohr to do better in team selection, tactics and players management and fielding so using Rohr incompetence to justify Equeavon lopsided list is uncalled for

IDENNAA:
Why all the noises about Lookman ? What are we missing if he is left out ?


Abeg , let him go sit down and wait for next time....after all , we have players who painted Europe with goals and great skills but Rohr made sure he frustrated them out....Onyekuru comes to mind.

Oga I expect u to see nothing good in Lookman

Please don't diss that player even though i know your sentiments and hatred for foreign born players most especially innit boys stink to high heavens

Dude is way ahead of onyekuru currently. Rohr is not responsible for onyekuru failed club football, dude has refused to up his game

For Lookman the super eagles needs him...the reason why the NFF is having rest over this matter is because he has not been fully cleared yet or else it would have been a serious issue

TheGoodJoe:

As for Bassey, I feel the same sentiments played a part. Remember the time is short and it is not a long tournament. So I feel Eguavoen is okay with Omeruo, Ekong, Awaziem, and Balogun. These are four defenders for two positions. So he added Ndah in case of a tactical preference. So carrying Bassey and Akpoguma would be surplus for the central position and left back roles.

The time is not short for Olise Ndah abi

Oga That list is fraud

Why should players like omeruo, shehu, Olise and Collins made the list ahead of akpo, bassey and Ebuehi ?
There is no excuse all this points u made up there ain't tenable....

You ignore a german budisliga player for a budisliga 2 player and shun Seria A player for Cyprus based player and Rangers versatile defender for a segundaB and PSL player


We agree that merit should always triumph mediocrity. This things are just too obvious to be overlooked

Kog45:
Olisa Ndah,John Noble and Taiwo Awoniyi in camp.

You see that Noble invitation it goes to show some players made this list based on man know man

I just dont understand why indigenous coaches can't prove to be different for ones

I expect Goodjoe to defend Equeavon on that call up too or rather use Rohr lapses to defend it forgetting Equeavon was the Technical Director that approves that 40 man list

Kog45:
Oga humility I can only fault him on Akpoguma even Rohr preferred Collins and Shehu over Bassey and Ebuehi....so only Akpoguma would have made it if Rohr was still in charge and there will be no place for Nwakili,with Onuachu injury Lookman would have replaced him.........meaning with Rohr we would have had Akpoguma and Lookman in the team.

Why did we sack rohr sir?
I hate it when we reference rohr to defend Equeavon lopsided 28 man list

The truth is players like omuruo, Collins,Olise and shehu dont deserve to be in the last ahead of players like Ebuehi, bassey and akpo when we talk of qualities, skills sets and club foot ball

We tolerating mediocrity by defending Equeavon lopsided list

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you. Don't mind them. If it is white man, they will keep quiet. When Local coach who had no time to prepare list to submit to CAF, and has to work with Rohr's list, they will form Voltron.

So what stopped Equeavon from listing Ebuehi bassey or Akpoguma on the 28 man list ?Are trying to tell me that Olise Ndah, Collins and shehu are currently doing better than the first 3 mentioned

We good we speak the truth sometimes

Odunayaw:
Some have sworn to be antagonistic and na headache be their portion

Even Satan no accuse Job reach this kawai

Nobody is being antagonistic
It is obvious that some names of that list dont deserve to be there.

andrewbaba44:
See Chelsea wey wan win epl and Jorginho wey be ballon d escorter

Bissouma wan kill their midfield

Kudos to tuchel for using a team that kante is the only world class player there to win the champions league ,just negodu Hudson odoi ,fraud of a player ,that guy no even reach chukwueze

Hudson is a big fraud

Who wins a match with those English rejects Berkeley,loftus cheek and Hudson...
Tuchel is not a serious coach at all

Hudson that Southgate rarely cares if he exist

Dude is a waste and bang ave rage player
