To join TheGoodJoe, Goldfish80 and Tbaba1234 in the Yobo discussion.

We all know that Yobo started off as a striker bt then he was at the Michelin team based in Port Harcourt.

In 1998 he moved to standard liege of Belgium. He was in their youth team where they remoulded him into a defender.

In Nigeria '99 Yobo was a defender. I recall how he being a striker thing came about. Some press men hu knew him in PH or hu heard he was a striker in that PH club listed him as a striker but he really was a defender in that tourney.

And i hope u guys are not confusing Joseph with his elder brother, Albert Yobo who played for the Eaglets in 1995.

If i can recall vividly well, Nigeria went with 3 strikers: Julius Aghahowa, Eddy Dumbraye and Danny Shittu.

Gabriel Melkam was an Attacking Midfielder, Haruna Babangida was a winger, Hamishu Garba was a Wings Forward/ AM. Gbenga Okunowo who was captain of the 1997 Flying was a midfielder. Barca converted him to a RB.

Goldfish80 our first game was against Costa Rica and not Paraguay. Julius Aghahowa opened scoring for Nigeria at the national stadium in Surulere. Costa Rica equalised while we were in search of an insurance second goal. It ended 1-1. Tunde Disu was sacked after the 3rd game against Paraguay and Thijs Libregts who was then Super Eagles coach was made to continue with the team.

I am not just quoting from wikipedia, i am giving you from my own memory. Also i was already a sports writer as at that time.

TheSuperNerd:
Awwwwwwwwwwwn..... and I thought Sir TheGoodJoe will never be allowed....

Just bc i am in a happy mood over last night's semi-victory.

Besides, he has also started becoming an apostle of EXPERIENCE. He knows what i am talking about.

Gents.

There is a pending issue on ground.

The team is gradually gelling and even the RB and LB problems we had are gradually being sorted out.

The back up goal keeper (for the short term) is also IMO no longer a problem Akpeyi has 3ce proven he is up to the task.

Guys! We dnt have a first choice goalie!

Ikeme has proven that he cannot be trusted.

In the do or die return leg clash against Egypt. He was ruled out.

In the crucial 2018 WC qualifiers game against Algeria same happened.

And now again in crucial grade A friendly against Senegal he got injured.

Na so we go dey continue?

We go wan play Cameroun now the guy go injure.

Guys lets discuss.
We all here are stake holders as far Nigerian football is concerned.

Info i got is that for Rohr, his crew and the NFF this was the last straw that broke the Camel's back.

What are our options?
1. Call back Enyeama
2. Promote Akpeyi to first choice and make Ikeme a back up.
3. Promote Akpeyi to first choice and stop inviting Ikeme and promote one of the young goalies ti 3rd choice.
4. Some would say we make one of the young goalies first choice.
5. Leave Ikeme as first choice. Any day he is fit he keeps goal else Akpeyi keeps goal. Just like it is presently.
6. Any other option.


Knowing that this a decision we need to make before the AFCON qualifiers in june and WC qualifiers in August we need an immediate solution first before thinking of the long term.

Lets discuss this burning issue pls.

TheGoodJoe:
Thanks. I will respect and uphold the EXPERIENCE Word.

Good.

TheGoodJoe:
You are neglecting the fact that Rohr is more than a manager to these young players. He is also their motivator, support and Adviser too. If Rohr sees a player that has the potential of being a top quality star for the Super Eagles, it is within his right to sort them out.

Walter Mazzari is not giving Success the playing time he needs and from Success statement, he disagrees that he is not fit. Rohr met with Isaac Success and he discussed with him.

Just like I Cried before and our indigenous coaches should learn from the Experienced (Icon4s the last time before the ban) coach to pick his stars and build them.

Just like Rohr announced when Etebo was injured that he was interested in Etebo, Rohr sees brilliance in Osimhen and Success. Rohr has a mission to expose thier brilliance using the National team. With Success performance in this game and Etebo's frightening performance in the last, we can clearly see Rohr has his eyes for talents.

It is time for us to watch the Master Tactician work and see what he wants to do with Osimhen and quit the whole injury/playing time critique.

Whaaaaattt!!!!


You are hereby..............







in the spirit of.............







sportsmanship granted access to use that word.
But always respect it.

safarigirl:
He plays alongside Success in a 4-4-2 or he plays between Success and Iwobi in a 4-3-3.

Rohr typically plays 4-5-1.

safarigirl:
Success

I believe my starting line-up yesterday had Kelechi and Success starting together

Meanwhile, Oga Icon, those senior citizens on the other thread need to come down to 2017 with the rest of us. They should stop obsessing over Yekini, imagine them saying Kelechi cannot break Yekini's record.

Biko, was it not a record that was made when there was no offside? They say Kelechi is too wasteful, the stats don't reflect that....even when he wastes, he certainly makes up for it. Not like Yekini was scoring hat tricks every game

Some people should sha stop feeling old with themselves. If a player at 20 already has 6 goals in about 10 games or less for us, I don't see how he can't break a 37-goal record at 25

So where do u want Iheanacho to play. Or better still Suggest ur preferred front line.

As for the Yekini-Iheanacho talk.
IMO it is still too early to make that comparison. There are several uncertainties in football. Let Iheanacho hit the 20 goal mark first. Then we assess the possibility.

neighy:
its like rohr is comfortable with KC as d 9... He does not think twice b4 fielding him... I would like us to use him as d SS in our next friendly... Also i wanna see d ASSISTant(bazee) in action

SS to who?

BabaCommander:
Please when is the match going to start?.

Shuo!!! I give you scores you still dey ask when the match go start. Ok the match nova start.

Jefersoun:
I don't think Shehu is as regular as Musa is for SE. You may not agree, but time will tell

You may say Musa has stayed longer in the team. But ever since after the 2014 WC Shehu has made almost every match squad for the Super Eagles.

TheSuperNerd:
Now lemme reply him.... Chaaaiiiiii... Oga Experience himself.... the arch Guardian and Lord Analyst of the House... I greet you Great one....


Chief Icon4s.... "Been Engaged" are the words for your question. Biko gbaram Oga... just manage the reply.

Truth is I am not fully back yet.... but you know I had to be where he Eagles were gathering..... I had to make out time coz I am still super busy and yes I have taken my time to go thru most of what I missed from pages back...








Now.... Sir... let us talk small business of copyright...

Oya.... I had to cite you when using that word so biko.... I need official permanent permit and authorisation from you to be using the word and also the "Not there yet" tags when necessary.... I am still an apostle of youth and Verve mixed with Constant Growth... but sometimes... I make reference to experience and I don't want you coming for my head when I do so biko....



And on Iwobi.... yeah... Rohr now sees Iwobi would find it hellish against Cameroon.... Anyway, we will find a way around it... Mikel, or etebo... whatever it is... we will find a way.



For the bolded..... I just dey laugh here..... abeg... no comment for now on that one... lolllll

Ok Copy right licence granted.

But i will never give it to TheGoodJoe bc he never agreed that word 'EXPERIENCE' even existed in soccer.
He is even beginning to sound like me of late.

As for what you are doing. Not to worry jst stay focused we here will keep the flat flying.

TheGoodJoe:
Yes I will. I like Wing forwards that add bite to the attack.

I am just trying to highlight how difficult it is for coaches to make a decision abt who to drop and to be replaced by who.

Jefersoun:
But he always get invited when fit to play.

Same goes for Shehu Abdullahi.

abiodunalasa:
Pls what's the scores... Nigeria vs Senegal ? All our tv here did not air the match

1-1.

kinstar112:
Leicester City winger, Ahmed Musa, has stepped down as assistant captain of the Super Eagles team.

Musa informed coach Gernot Rohr of his decision, just before the kick off of their friendly match against Senegal, at The Hive Stadium in London.

This development was confirmed by BBC reporter, Oluwashina Okeleji via his Twitter account.

He wrote: “Breaking: Leicester City winger Ahmed Musa has stepped down as assistant captain of #Nigeria ahead of tonight’s friendly against #Senegal.”

Musa was appointed as assistant captain to John Obi Mikel exactly one year ago.

The 24-year-old who had replaced Vincent Enyeama as skipper until then, handed over to Mikel Obi.

“I want to announce now that from today, John Obi

http://street2view.com/nigeria-vs-senegal-ahmed-musa-steps-assistant-captain-super-eagles/

Ok. So he now sees how it feels when he was made captain and Mikel assistant.

He may jst be kissing goodbye to d national team as peeps are already calling for his dropping

Jefersoun:
shehu abdullahi is not a regular

Neither is Musa.

TheGoodJoe:
I said a sub role. Not as a starter yet. That goes to, Simon Moses.

You drop Simon Moses for Onyekuru?

TheGoodJoe:
Sub role. I think he can operate from both flanks.

So who de we drop from the squad to accommodate Onyekuru. U know only 18players make match day squads.

Jefersoun:
Ok to sum it up, unfortunately federal character. Yes i know it sounds odd and weird.

No na. I dnt think so.

Musa, though has not been at his best of late, has been a strong member of this team. Remember his brace against Argentina and his power strike against SA in the last friendly game we played against them.

I have suggested that he b converted to a supporting striker.

Besides, Ahmed Musa has passed his peak.

He peaked around 2014-2015 but meanwhile he is just 24.

Aha! who was i pointing out to the other day that most West African strikers peak between 21 and 25?

TheGoodJoe:
I say we give Aluko Musa's slot.

Hahahaha. What of Onyekuru, whose slot will he take?

TheSuperNerd:
You know Sir GoodJoe.... I always smile when Iheanacho is always the one people wanna criticise for every turn he makes.... what about Iwobi today he was downright poor but yeah we know why.... he is kinda not yet used to the physical "jam body" aspect of African football.... with Experience.... **chaiii... licensed word owned by the archguardian himself, Sir Icon4s** .... he will learn


Also... Iheanacho took almost all if not all our setpieces today and was on point mosr of the times.... he did his best to battle koulibaly and co.... Nacho wom the penalty and whem i saw he was the one to take it.... i just started shouting goal because I have never seen Nacho miss a penalty.... and he may never ever miss coz he is that good from the spot.... **remember his first spotkick for city as a 17yr old in the USA**


So plsss.... nacho had a good game though not a spectacular one.... but it is good he scored and his influence on the team shows that he cannot continue to warm that nonsense bench at City.... pep I like as a tactical coach but not as a manager (man manager).... Nacho needs an environment to blossom.... this is his generation sprouting up fast... and now add mbappe and Dybala to the equation.... Nacho needs to shine more... abeg...

This man. Where u go since?

You and TheGoodJoe need to obtain a special copy right license before using that word EXPERIENCE.

On Iwobi, he battled a grade A typical west African side. Thank God Rohr played him there in this game. I guess we need to try Etebo or the baba himself, Mikel, against Cameroun.

There is always a difference btw the 'borough' brought ups and the 'area' brought ups. Rohr dey even fear to put Ebuehi even though he still had 2 more substitute slots.

tbaba1234:
Not in this kind of physical game... It would have been a baptism of fire for Ebuehi... Better to ease him in..

But i thought some1 said he is better than our other RB options. He even made some people's expected starting list today.

Jefersoun:
It would be hard to drop musa due to some varisbles.

variables like?

TheGoodJoe:
I do not like sounding like Icon4s but, with EXPERIENCE, Iwobi will learn to deal with the physical aspect of ye game when we face physical African teams.

Kai ! I ban you from using that word.

I expected you to have said 'with more DRILLS'.

chimzyblack:
Nobody is talking about how iwobi totally got lost in the game.
Currently there is no one like Mikel in that team.

He could nt impose himself on that AM position.

I will say 'welcome to African football Alex'.

The game was too physical dor him. IMO we have jst played the toughest team in Africa.

No debute for Ebuehi today.
Rohr doesn't take chances.
He is still unbeaten after 4 games.

Did C Ronaldo De Lima play?

Yes. Romario and Bebeto also played.

Certitude:
I was also surprised if it was the same success who turned bailey inside out. maybe komekn didn't get to watch him before injury. Nobody replied that comment till now.

He still called him waste man this morning.

pyrex23:
i really wish iheanacho can be loaned out(even if it is a championship club)
he needs serious game time
his agent shud try 2 get him enough playin time though guardiola is really doing some wok on him

Kai! I rebuke that suggestion in Jesus name.

Championship what?

Mickael2:
we all.know that Kayode isn't efficient. however when a player with the best goal to game ratio in the epl starts missing sitters, we know something is wrong somewhere

Kayode the expected goals King.

safarigirl:
because he wasn't unearthed in one borough in the UK of course.

Hahahaha. Una no go kill person.
