For people asking why Rohr haven’t resigned, here’s what he said before he extended his contract last year.

"I am not doing my job for money. I am doing my job because I like it. Because we have built a team like you know, and money is not the most important. But I also have to look after my assistants.

"I accept because I think that my mission in Nigeria is not finished yet, and I know very well my players. I know very well the officials. We are now just like a family, and I think it is good to continue especially in this period now where it is difficult to change, to travel, to see new people."

forgiveness:
My oga! We are talking about current form of African strikers in Europe not the decision of one coach in Nigeria.

That’s totally his decision and we know Osimhen has been in the team long before Onuachu hence the decision.

this is just you being dishonest

TheSuperNerd:
Based on the players in camp, it is very likely the lineup we should expect.

The shocker will be Iheanacho not getting to start if this comes true.

Onyeka over Bonke for me as DM. That is the right call. He is the bonafide Ndidi backup and should not even be paired alongside Ndidi unless when playing less fancied or less tactical teams.

Onyeka-Aribo-Iwobi could be the midfield against CAR and I trust they should be able to do enough to get us over the line.

Only change could see Iheanacho come in and Iwobi moved to the left with one of Simon/Kalu dropping to the bench. Time will tell.


Also, It would be the first time Onyeka plays DM (in the GWG) if he indeed starts and I would be paying close attention to his role because Ndidi needs a backup and he is my crowned backup to Ndidi. This would be his first test in the role in the GWG.

iwobi isn’t in camp

TheSuperNerd:
Aleksander Mitrovic is a second division player as well.

I guess that makes him sh*t and far inferior to let's say, Max Kruse playing alongside Awoniyi in the Bundesliga with FC Union Berlin.

Indeed, you should go read that Bible. It will teach you Balance.

Solanke is a second division player, that means arsenal’s Nketia is better than him

forgiveness:
Then Messi shouldn’t have made the list for South America and Youssef En-Nesyris should be there with 24 goals for Sevilla in Laliga.

Or is Sevilla and Laliga moimoi league?

Why Osimhen?

Messi was the best player in the recently played Copa America. When was the last time Aubameyang did anything tangible in football

Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi could miss Leicester City's next seven games - in the latest blow to hit Brendan Rodgers' struggling side

Super Eagles Update

humility33:
It is so painful
It's like we've lost Micheal Olise to Algeria

I think he’s waiting for France

Danielnino00:
Doesn't sound like it...


The way you talk about white people here, one would think you treat them the same way in person over there in the US...but I very much doubt that you have the cojones to do that... Perhaps it's an online thing for you...

yep, anybody can be whatever they want to be on the Internet

seankafor:
pure lies..

NFF said they have cleared outstanding payments as at last match..
Prior to the unveiling of air peace sponsorship

I think they said for players

cromz:
bassey has played 6 games this season for rangers fc, iyenoma has played 5 games for udinese this season at just 18 years old so what are you saying?

Bassey completed 90min in all matches played while iyenoma have 3 starts with no 90min completed the most he got was 79min. Let the young boy grow first

45k for 5 people and they’ve not been paid in 8 months. The ‘Rohr is tactically poor’ people, una no get money to employ proper coach so make una manage this one

Kog45:
Algeria bibawo...

yeah via his mum

Joebie:
Joe Aribo as an AM today.

not sure he can play as an AM very well

Awoniyi substituted as union berlin is looking to protect their lead

jihday:
Awoniyi scores

makes it 2

Ppogbae:
Source?

This doesn't look good especially with all the optics of Amaju hosting the FIFA president at a lavish dinner at his residence

Osasu obayiwana on twitter

Awoniyi scores

12large1:
In this game particularly, Iheanacho had a non existent second half and it was either him or Vardy that had to make way

The whole team is nonexistent, not sure rodgers will use this formation any time soon

The manager of the @NGSuperEagles (and the technical staff that he pays from his pocket) are owed EIGHT months wages by @thenff. Just a thought, as we play another round of @roadto2022en @FIFAWorldCup qualifiers next week. #Nigeria is really a country...

Here we go again

Moffi was substituted due to injury in their ongoing game

Olise have pulled one back for palace

kingphilip:
But they're still leading by 2 nil

they’ve really struggled

andrewbaba44:
And he scores

But Warey Rodgers might still drop him for their next game

had to use 442 today and they’ve been very poor

humility33:
Today is his birthday

and the birthday boy scores

humility33:
Oga the problem is not CAR
Don't be surprised thats how his AFCON list gonna look like

The man is daft I can do better than this man in all honesty

are you expecting some additional names?

Tolulopefinest:
Rhor wants to use 442, so he believes he doesn't need a lot of Midfielders.

But yet, he should have replaced Iwobi with a Midfielder. And please, nobody should say there are no midfielders. Look at the scenario of Kingsley Michael, he doesn't deserved the call up back then but he came out good. Nwakali in all sincerity should have been called to replace Iwobi or even any other Midfielder in any league. Look at Denmark and some European countries, they don't care which club you're playing for, just deliver.

Belgium dey call Praet, Bashuayi, Benteke and even players from Belgium league.

We are knew that Kingsley Michael doesn't deserved the call up then. Or does he?

But now, he has shown he is a very good player. Why not call Nwakali (at least he plays regularly for his club now), Nwobodo, Alhassan(if not injured). Some of us here sef Sabi scout for players pass Rhor.

who told you he doesn’t know them? He just doesn’t think the midfield is priority. Since last year or so he has started using 442 or 424 which means a lot of the creativity will have to come from the wings even iwobi was deployed to the wings for the last few games, but we need at least 2 more attacking midfielders what if his formation isn’t working and we need to change things? Rohr needs to be more flexible and unpredictable

charlesemeka85:
if nwakali is hyped here when he is yet to do anything tangible since his 4 year stay in Europe Calvin deserves the same treatment for breaking into rangers first team after just leaving youth football 2 seasons ago

I’m sure this guy sees Nwakali in his dreams.

12large1:
His biased squad will obviously be good enough to be defeating small teams in Africa like Liberia, CAR, benin etc but when they jam the best, (Algeria, Senegal, Cameroun) they cannot win

Cameroon?

Subzero047:
See how Calvin Bassey's change of allegiance and call up went smoothly and without delay, yet some adults here believe that NFF are 'holding' Lookman and Ejaria

he didn’t need any switch

chrisooblog:
I don't think Osimhen will be missing so many Serie a matches like that maybe 3 or 4 max Europa would probably resume March. If Nigeria goes all the way to the final we are talking early February so some of these clubs should relax.

the clubs are relaxed it’s just jobless journalists posting rubbish, is he the first African to go for Afcon? Drogba was more important for Chelsea and they never threw any tantrums anytime he’s heading for afcon, Everton used to have Yak, their top striker and Yobo their best defender leave for Afcon they didn’t cry foul. The worst these clubs can do is what elyte said earlier, and even that one is if the FA permits them if not they can go and hug transformer

Ppogbae:
Consider the following:

Suppose by January 6, Napoli is currently sitting at 1st in Serie A and Osimhen is leading a tight race for goals scored in Serie A. Should he be released for AFCON?

Mind you, Napoli will have 6-7 serie A matches over this period (and this is notwithstanding possible Europa league and Coppa Italia matches).

Thoughts?

should he be released? Who cares about Napoli’s ambition? Do we not have ambitions too? If you people are saying this for Napoli what should Liverpool say? Them no born Napoli well not to release him
