Agu to come in for Frank

Dessres for Kelechi

And what would be the tactical reasons for your substitutions?

Thazard:
My name is Ufouma and I'm an Urhobo guy.

Kevin is an Urhobo guy but I don't like him

Why?

When Nigeria was invited him some years ago,he said his heart is with Germany.And he would wait till 25,if Germany doesn't call him,he would consider Nigeria.


Imagine such Blasphemy.

Yes, I understand how you feel.

But sometimes we also need to put ourselves in the shoes of some of these foreign born players. A lot of them feel more attached to the country of their birth where they lived and were nurtured as compared to a Nigeria they have never visited.

Germany was always first choice for Akpoguma but since his German dream didn't happen,he then had to fall back to his other country of nationality-Nigeria.

ChrisKels:
He couldn't be an Igbo with his names Akpoguma and especially, Ufuoma.

Igbo is Ifeoma(Iheoma) or Ihuoma, and they are female names

Ufuoma is Urhobo.

This ndidi case sef, I don give up. Its very insulting that Arsenal signed Partey before Ndidi not because of ghana vs Nigeria Rivalry but because of how people claim Ndidi is talented. Its eithee that he isn't good as proclaimed or he has a bad agent. Thunder go faya anyone that start posting ndidi is the beat ball winner again after this season

See, different coaches know what they look out for in a particular player and see if those qualities would fit into his Team's plans.

Ndidi and Partey are both quality players that could have brought a lot to the Arsenal team. I am an Arsenal fan, I can tell you that asides getting a ball winning midfielder, we also need a player that can add steel to the middle, and this is where Partey gets the nod over Ndidi.

BOOOMNAIJA:
I've been silently following ur discussions here so far without making an input myself. I just feel like chipping in a very important point here....

It's amazing how u guys fail to recognize/acknowledge rohr's effort so far cos all I see here is discussion about the players only.

I must commend the coach for something very significant he has been trying to achieve, and very important too...its obvious he's trying to amass a whole pool of super-talented players for all positions of d national team(with at least 3 young players plus an older and more experienced player for each position)...this is d secret of the best teams of d world.

When a coach is spoilt with choices for each position of his team, there is no excuse for him not to succeed with that team, no matter the opposition.

Incase no one has noticed, that was d secret of our successful outings in the Atlanta '96 Olympics as well as the USA '94 world cup. Those teams were spoilt with stars for each position. This simply brings extra healthy competition into d team and nobody wants to be caught unawares, hence bringing out d best in each player.


There are better days ahead and I foresee an improvement on the '90s team with this present team, if d momentum is kept.

Indeed rohr deserves to be applauded for this...the man is working, despite his very few flaws.

Thanks for this.

Michael2, you see the point?
Tell me "Rohr needs a tactician" yes, I will agree. But telling me Rohr being the coach has not worked is "emotive bias born out of emotive prejudice"

temi1290:
Onuachu deserves a chance.

How many times would he be given the chance?

I would rather have an Iwobi as a striker.

ChrisKels:
Anyanwu Billing has finally made his Danish debut, against almighty Faroe Island.

Good Luck to him.
What a team to make a debut against

Mickael2:
Judge based on where we should be and not where we were before he came. There was initial progress, I was okay with that, we needed his stability and it set us up perfectly. But is this where we should be right now? I want a yes or a no

Ok, so firstly, you agree we are no longer where we were before he took over.

Where were we since after the 1994 WC?

Where were we during the period where players selected matches to play?

Where were we when coaches usually had problems with key members of the team?

Where were we when coaches would rather than inviting the best available players, keep 7 slots in the team for home based players?

Maybe you expect us to by now be rubbing shoulders with the bests in the world. No coach has ever achieved that for Nigeria, not even the 94 class.
Please give Rohr some credit for moving us from where we were, at the point of his take over, to where we are now.

Mickael2:
You have been trusting Rohr since 2017, hasn't worked much has it?

What do you mean by "Hasn't worked much".
Where were we just before he took over and where are we now?

TheSuperNerd:
O Pari! Lol


But make I no lie... That game just got tougher without five of our top guys. I will especially miss Osimhen's super fire and mega presence as a #9. No striker in camp has the Super diehard presence of Osimhen in that #9 role but still, they are all talented no doubt.

Mahrez and co will seriously want to press home that advantage of us being five key players short. But I hope the new guys give as a good a fight as what is worthy of being a Super Eagle.

Yeah but you know one thing about this our team? There are no key players. Most of the players are almost at par. Even Osimhen has not really been heads ahead of the other strikers in the team.

I trust Rohr to come up with a set up that can Optimise the potentials we have on ground.

TheSuperNerd:
The O Pari Master returns..... Ahhh! The Comeback is complete.

Welcome back my good man... So nice to see you again.

We are gearing up to knack Algeria akpako on Friday.

Icon79:
Haha. You mean, my big bros icon4s? Mek you no mind am, he no even ask about me all these while whereas TheSuperNerd and the other folks dey ask about my wellbeing uponda.

I think say na sibling rivalry na ‘im dey bother icon4s�


O pari

The Opari master.

How I go know where you go when you no drop message

Anyways, welcome back.

Danielnino00:
It's been a while since I streamed a match online...
poor Network,ad pop ups and whatnot...
I prefer to watch on TV...
even if its NTA, I go manage am

Bros abeg no mention NTA here again. The last time NTA show live match: Nigeria vs Benin na so vex wan kee person.

Utonwanne:
If I'm in his shoe, I'll retire and pursue coaching career

Men ...I have never seen a player that has been bedeviled by injury like Bazee. When you think he is back up and running, and then you invite him. Next thing you'll hear he is injured again.

forgiveness:
Do you mean I should not reply my mentions?

Bros Calm down. Let's discuss more of the players in camp.

The list has been drawn and players have been invited so let's move on please.

TheSuperNerd:
Come this man... Stop all this Eze nonsense! Is he in camp?? Hasn't he said he doesn't want you?? You go force am?? Biko talk about Alampasu and others who are in camp... Leave Eze. Or if you no get talk as regards camp just carry yourself go console your man Ajagun make we hear word for hia.....

Haba!!!! Cho cho cho cho cho ... You sabi talk ehn!!! Kaaiiiii

You know forgiveness will always be an attorney of any uninvited players.

TheSuperNerd:
For crying out loud this was me analysing why Alampasu may not be considered and this was September for crying out loud. Alampasu was very possibly not even on the list in September. I was explaining why he may not be considered just yet.

I always ended with "if he keeps up the consistency, then he may or can get invited". Is that not the truth Forgiveness? . Or you want to keep on twisting like you always do.

I even remember I reported that Bazee was confirmed to be on the September list but October has come and he is not even on the October list. Rohr actually had Bazee pencilled down for September before another injury came up.

So what point is all this about really? To paint me bad? Naah... It is not working Man.

See, Go meet Ajagun. He needs your shoulder now okay. Go console your Favourite #10. Abeg. Lol

Did Bazee sign any pact with injuries. Dude has been out injured for over 80% of his professional career.

Danielnino00:
Abeg, I'm more concerned about the game being televised ..
I don't think I have that much data to stream it...

Daniel, today is just Tuesday, start saving for the Data

tbaba1234:
Can we talk about the team instead of everyone claiming inside source?


There is a lot of material to talk about.

Sounds more like Inside Sauce

Happy Birthday to Ofa Icon4s, a veteran member of this great and none of our most respected contributors. May you continue to live in success and good health for many years to come.

Meanwhile, why is Arsenal always playing a game on your birthday and winning, sir? The same thing happened last year, if I'm not mistaken

thanks for the kind wishes my able Barrister.

Yes you remember last year's own too.

Maybe Nigeria too should start playing on my Birthday

Thanks for all the kind wishes. Really appreciated.
