Gent Nigerian Duo Simon & Esiti Expose Super Eagles Strengths To Croatian Teammate

Gent Nigerian pair Anderson Esiti and Moses Simon have been discussing the 2018 World Cup Group D fixture between Nigeria and Croatia with their teammate, goalkeeper Lovre Kalinić
Lovre Kalinić, 27, is expected to be named to Croatia's roster for the tournament in Russia as backup to first-choice goalie, Monaco's Danijel Subasic, who started the last six matches played by the national team.

These days, Esiti is not in the plans of the Super Eagles coaching staff led by Gernot Rohr but Simon has been called up for the friendlies against Poland and Serbia this month.
''I have the impression of being underestimated by Nigerians, and I have Simon and Esiti in the club, two young Nigerian players who are already great players,'' Kalinic told
Sportske Novosti.

''Guys are powerful and fast, but very responsible, quality players and they say to us that this is how the whole team is.
''So any one-and-a-half percent looser approach ahead of the match with Nigeria can be crazy.''
Argentina and Iceland complete the teams in Group D at the 2018 World Cup.

Good point. But if Onazi is going to start on the bench, we gonna need an intelligent player with good match reading and anticipation skills to provide cover in the DM. Or else, a technically sound team would carve us apart. That's what happened to us in 1998 World Cup vs Demark - Sunday Oliseh was MIA in that match, and Demark had a free reign.

asha80:
convincing mikel to go back to DM will take some doing..moreover I think he is playing his best football ever for eagles now that he has been pushed to AM which was his first love anyway before mourinho appeared in his life..he also seems happy playing that position

Nah, I have never been a big fan of Ideye. He misses way too many chances for any coach to prefer him ahead of players like Nacho, Iwobi, Simon, Musa, or Ighalo. And I have watched Kayode a few times in La Liga, frankly, I don't see what he could offer that the players we already have in camp can't offer.

I will declare Kayode a surplus to requirement at this time.


O pari

MetalJigsaw:
You mean you don't see Kayode and Ideye returnig to the team?

Listen, I am NOT recommending that those players be invited. In fact, if you look around you'll see where I affirmed that Rohr has invited the best players available to him at this time. I was just saying that if Rohr were to invite any additional players after these two friendly matches, then it gotta be from that list because those folks were already in his program.


O pari

Kog45:
Pls which Nwakili?Osimhen invitation on what ground,Alampasu should go to lower league and have games.Hope Oyekwuru recover on time to fight for a place.

I think Ideye and Kayode just need to shake up in the remaining part of the season.

Martins has lost out cos is not even in the consideration.

Actually, Joel can play as a deep playing playmaker. He's quite versatile. I have seen him play LWB and even LWF at Inter Milan. However, I do understand where you're coming. Like I had stated elsewhere, if Joel Obi gatecrashes the team and we have to bench Onazi then someone has to convince Mikel to play the DM.


O pari

AIG07:
One question @ Opari Master.

If both players play in the system I stated above, who among them will sit deep to cover the defence?

Is it Ndidi who is a ball fighter or an offensive Joel who is a box to box player?

Note: I am not writing their combo off as you're insinuating, I am only trying to forsee what could happen-just like anyother analyst will do(I might be wrong or right as my assumptions are base on what have seen-the players style of play.

My first statement tells u about my admiration for the combo and the last statement suggest possible measures that can make the combo work.

Good point, but I doubt it tho. I mean, players who are already in the system (Onyekuru, Osimhen, Alampasu, or Nwakali) could possibly still get an invite for the subsequent matches, but I won't expect Rohr to start reconsidering folks like Martins, Kayode, and Ideye at this stage.


O pari

MetalJigsaw:
And it's not like it's a World Cup list. Other players will surely get their chance in the subsequent friendly matches after the upcoming March ones. So why all the fuss?? Everyone cannot be invited at the same time!

I agree. That should be Mikel's role but he doesn't like playing that role for the Super Eagles. In absence of Mikel, Onazi plays the role but with Joel Obi poised to start Onazi is likely to start on the bench. Let's see what Rohr comes up with sha.


O pari

asha80:
ndidi is not the type that sits in front of the defence..you will not get the best of him from there..that isnt even his role in leicester..he is the type that breaks up play and bettles in the middle

It looks like Iceland is most concerned with Argentina, based on their friendly schedule. They are already familiar with Croatia and they assume that Nigeria is a walkover. Good let them keep thinking that way

I totally agree with you, Komekn. I watched the game as well. I think Juve won the game based on experience and luck, not any cleverly devised system by coach Allegri. Inexperience cost Spurs big time and they were unlucky too, with the goalline clearance and then the Harry Kane header that barely hit the bar with Buffon well beaten.


O pari

komekn:
Watched the game I don't think Tottenham was stifled possibly limited but it was very very close right to the last second.

Juventus were lucky two off the line clearances.

But still a testament to the quality of the EPL consider which league has the overwhelming highest number of teams in the last 16.

Metal, just ignore the naysayer. Anybody who has any problems with the list of players invited to these two friendly games is NOT being sincere. The man has done the best job he could do with the talents at his disposal.

MetalJigsaw:
I Have gone through comments of so many sport loving Nigerians here. And you know what have got to Discovered? Is that Nigerians can never be Satisfied. We all clamoured for the inclusion of Joel Obi, J. Ajayi, and some CHAN Stars and the Gaffer did. And some are still here crying for some old names and new annoying names like Martins,Ejide,Cyril whatever, and co.

It's so bad

Omo, have you seen them play together before? So how did you reach this conclusions


O pari

AIG07:
This has always been my dream Midfield combo.

It's appealing but only on PAPER.

Playing both Ndidi and Joel as DM and CM respectively in a 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1 formation will lead to gaps been created in our midfield...

But I expect team tactic(s) and strategy to fix this.

In that case, Ajayi would have to wait until 2022 because I am quite sure that Kelechi and Ighalo would make the team. So if Musa makes it then there would be no chance for Ajayi, right? Even if he's scoring in the moon

Oya see the pic The likes of Dedebanky85 and co wanted you to go see on Musa's IG page.... You need to catch up man...

Me neither. I haven't watched Ajayi played recently but he's been making waves online. But if he turns out to be as good as they say he is, then which striker does he displace?

Mujtahida:
Are you talking about the same Musa that Rohr visited last week while he was in Russia for a conference? Did you miss out on Musa's effusive and heartfelt appreciative tweet of the fatherly gesture?

No sir, that's not exactly what I said.

I said that if Junior Ajayi is as good as advertised then Musa might be the striker to miss out, based on the fact that he hasn't really started any games for the team recently. However, I added that the Nigerian factor would ensure that Musa is included in the team, come hell or high water.

I have never liked his game tho. I mean, even after the brace he scored against Argentina, I still didn't rate him that highly ... there's something about his game that frustrates da heck outta me


O pari

tbaba1234:
Musa is better than Ajayi..

Yes, he could be frustrating but he is important.

He gave 2 assists coming in as a late sub against Algeria and Argentina

Hmm. I was honestly unaware that Ahmed Musa has a lot of fan in this forum.

Unfortunately, you guys might be left a little disappointed on this one. I think Musa burned his bridge with Rohr when he declined to be the assistant captain, after Mikel was made the permanent captain. I don't see him going to Russia with Rohr unless there's an order from the above ... and there should be. After all, this is Nigeria we're talking about

Humility017:
forget it...dude has been playing consistently in Russia in the last few weeks....that enough to earn him a call up. don't forget that's Russia...the venue of the forthcoming world cup....

ajayi I believe is just there to get experience...dude will likely get few minutes combo that's all....for him to bench any of the top 6 forwards barring any injury is not possible....

Danielnino00:
When Mikel was on rotting on d Chelsea bench in his last season there but still got starting shirt in d SE,was it on merit or quota system??


Musa's world cup spot was in danger due to lack of game time at Leicester, but that has been fixed.. so nobody is on course to displace him.. not even Mr.injury...

I was never a big fan of Ahmed Musa, even at his best. He tends to blow hot and cold. And his football IQ ain't the best either.

he has not started in a long whime because he was more of a bench warmer and even relegated to under 23 in leicester..he is now back to his familiar ground in cska moscow and is a regular there

Thiago: Man City don't make me think 'wow' - but Lionel Messi does

Bayern Munich playmaker Thiago Alcantara has praised Manchester City's football as "awesome" and "the best of the best," but told ESPN FC he would rather see Lionel Messi in action than Pep Guardiola's side. Thiago played alongside Messi at Barcelona for several years before joining Bayern in 2013, and he said his former teammate's ability is on another level to the feats of City, who could potentially win the Premier League title by a record margin. "City are playing amazingly, "the 26-year-old said. "But I don't think 'wow.' [Only] Messi makes me go 'wow.'"

OK. But when was the last time Ahmed Musa started a game for the Super Eagles?


O pari

MetalJigsaw:
merit.. After Mikel he's the most experienced in the team and his abilies will come in handy in Russia. He's even far better than Ajayi

OK. But is he gonna be there on merit or by quota?

MetalJigsaw:
Replace Musa?? Musa being in Russia is a sure banker, Mr

Good point. But is Nwakaeme still in contention? I think he has knocked himself out after that woeful performance against Algeria.


O pari

Icon4s:
No. Musa in addition to being an SS option brings more in the area of wings play.

I think Ajayi is more in contention with Ighalo, Iheanacho, Ideye and Nwakaeme.

Yes, but not likely. Kelechi may be having a rough patch right now but Rohr knows that he's the future. And in addition, the team needs Kelechi for the locker room. I am not sure if you've noticed that it's often Kelechi or Onazi who tends to lead the team in celebrations after victories or even during new players initiations. So I will be extremely surprised if Kelechi doesn't go to Russia.
