4-2-4 na 4-4-2.
That one go get as e go be

AndSunGorilla:
I think KC will still start. I see us doing the unpopular 4-2-4 again. Don't be surprised if Chuks or Luku starts ahead of Dennis. Denis can be a fish entrepreneur sometimes.

Be like say Eguavoen go play 4-2-4 lol

As long as he get the confidence to start againt Ghana in their backyard. He is a young lad. May stand the heat.
He is capable but we still need some caution I think.

drDoom3:
Bassey for Omeruo.

Shehu can never be better than Alhassan Yusuf in this life

forgiveness:
Shehu take style made the list as a RB. How we no go take know say na midfield em go play?

I just dey talk my own ooo.

I think the problem with Eguavoen is he focuses too much on our strength as a team and doesn't seem to also plan to neutralize the oppositions strengths.

We should have gambled on proven midfielders in their respective leagues to back up the ones we already trust.
Etebo and Amoo right now, is a no no

Joezinho:
Eguavoen is a very unserious coach. Imagine taking 10 attackers and putting Calamity onazi on standby..

It's obvious Eguaveon is stuck on playing 442. God help us, he hasn't learned a thing from our AFCON debacle.

I am on record for disapproving the appointment of Eguavoen. Never like him as a player either..

Familiar partnership at club level. If Bassey can stand the heat right away, why not?
However Balogun plays mostly LCB for club and country. Moving him right should not be a problem though.

drDoom3:
Bassey for Omeruo.

Wetin una think?

ROFL

TFLASHOGEE:
you don switch to this your vawulence moniker you won start emekus you like quarrel pass fight

No issues at all. The can call Akpoguma to replace although he doesn't have to start. I am confident with Bassey and Ajayi sef Omeruo still dey

charlesemeka85:
ekong ruled out injured

That's the point.
We will have to rely on on Osimhen to fall back and do gra gra with them, when he should be fully focused on scoring. Abeg make we no killl Osimhen before he turns 30 lol

drDoom3:
Games are won in the midfield.

If you like have Ronaldo upfront, if your midfield is poor you will suffer. Ask Man U.

Our starting midfield trio of Ndidi + Onyeka + Aribo is good enough, but if any of them gets injured we are royally bleeped. Maybe Nacho can deputize Aribo at AM or we can switch to a 4-4-2 which we saw at AFCON, but the reality is we didn’t invite midfielders, even backups.

Rorh would have done the same, except that we would see Akpoguma in the list, but not Onazi.
Amoo won't be there. No much difference. Last last na how we play go determine am.

Icon79:
Thank you, my dear. That’s one thing that bothers me about our indigenous coaches - these kinda head scratching invitations and team selections.


O pari

Yea as long as our forwards are at their best and can also fall back to help

Truidstar:
There is no midfield battle...Osimhen is coming..Ghana be wary.

Are you trying to win an argument by converting Yusuf and Obinna to STRICTLY DMs?

mostob:
So you will replace these two guys with two DMs

is Similar to Rohr's list which is good enough. I always gave Rohr's list high ratings

Oasis001:



Most of you clamored for Amoo, he made the List. We wish for Simon and Lookman on both Wings, we have it. We hope for a Combo of Dennis and Osimhen in Attack, we have it.

We want a real Steel in midfield that brings something different to Ndidi, we have it. We want Collins out of the Squad for Bassey, we have it. We want a Return of Balogun to the Squad, we have it.

We want Ejuke, Nwakali replaced because we are not satisfied with them, we have it.

We can't have all, and apparently we can't be 100% pleased. Good List by the way..... 95% a good List.

I wouldn't play someone just coming for a long injury lay off. I would rather integrate Amoo into this team gradually, not in bitter rivalry matches of this magnitude.

We are coming against a team whose strengths lie in the midfield. We need capable back ups for the midfield BATTLE. it would be WAR in the midfield.

Etebo and Amoo oga!

AndSunGorilla:
Who would they be replacing in the main list sir?

Well, everyone will not get to play. Let's hope those they pick to play deliver.
The war is going to be in the midfield. I hope our attackers will be at their best.

Thank you. Etebo has no business in this list.
We all can't agree on all the names. But we want the best performing players always.

Ighalo is still performing. You can't make argument for Musa being a captain when you have Nwakaeme clearly better in the same league, although I don't fancy the latter.

Icon79:
First of all, let me say that I am not actually surprised to see this list. Rohr is gone, so we’re going to to applying the ‘Nigerian factor’ in sending out player invite.

Can anyone tell me how did onazi make the standby list? I am a big fan of Etebo but how did he make the list when he hasn’t played in more than 6 months? Why do we keep wasting slots on the likes of Musa and Ighalo when we have young and hungry strikers like Awoniyi, Onuachu, Ejuke, Onyekuru, etc.

And by the way, are we punishing Alex Iwobi for picking up a red card? And at the same time, it seems we’re rewarding Emmanuel Dennis for snubbing the team when we needed him most!

Nigeria, we hail thee!


O pari

We have Blackpool captain. Our opponents are more aggressive in trying to boost their squad and it seems we are just playing safe with familiar names.

Look at our midfield also. Why are we still reluctant in calling up Alhassan Yusuf and Obinna Nwobodo?

TheLoneCitizen:
I don't really have a problem with Shehu, because Ebuehi, the only competition has not proven to be consistent at club level.

If there is a quota that calls for an ethnic balance in the Super Eagles, it makes sense that that position is used to fill it.

Seeing Shehu in the list, my conclusion is Coach no be the problem again o. Na administration. Onazi in standby is just another proof. Nigeria is finished. Russia come and help us lol


Modified
Na case of corruption. Even Lookman go don give egunje at last. Komekn come chop
.

TheLoneCitizen:
So the board went to Turkey, ignored the league's best DM in Obinna Nwobodo and went for Onazi who has made just 4 league starts all season in League 2.

Why is US not wanting to invade Nigeria?

komekn:
Tell me one free democratically governed country that the USA invaded by itself please.

to the bolded,

Na my papa house i dey

JohnBullMySon:
I don't asslick America dude.

Where were you when Taliban Afghanistan was training Al-Quieda terrorists in camps to launch attacks in the US?

Where were you when Iraq invaded Kuwait, a major US ally because of inability to repay $15billion dollar debt and jealousy over surge in oil production.

Russia has been sullen at not being able to win Ukraine over from the west, and now they think invading an innocent country is the best decision?

No need schooling me about international politics. I know who I support. Russia must pay

TheGoodJoe

This one is for you.. I no argue again

you sef like lie

TheGoodJoe:

You guys are angry that VAR did not rob Manchester City. It is clear as daylight. No conclusive evidence for Handball and if it was handball, then VAR would visit Richarlison being offside. And the penalty will not stand

Finito.

I am not even impressed by his highlights..
Turkey league sef get as e be.

Mujtahida:
Nwakaeme not great abeg whether in Europe or anywhere. He's just regular as regular can be.

Poor angle on your picture. We saw various angles.
The coach suppose go look am to verify.. na partia!!!

TheGoodJoe:
Forget all these shots and look at this angle that showed when the contact with the ball happen. Look at the image for handball and see the VAR team had no conclusive evidence to rule a handball.

the ref for go check am sef

dozai:
The hand was even stretched like a wing. Pure daylight cheating. Nonsense and VAR

i fear o!!!

dozai:
Handball. How is that not a penalty??

Marvin Ekpiteta has been a super regular in the Championship and is Blackpool's captain. Scored for the team today. A Center Back and also plays RB.
So if ever we are lacking at RB, I no wan hear Shehu.

He's played for our U20s before.

is he a striker or AM?


modified
An Attacking Midfielder. Definitely should be one of the home based called early to camp.

BascoVanVeli:
Another goal for Emmanuel Ayaosi. The lad is the real deal

small small before dem go talk say make he replace Osimhen for SE

TheSuperNerd:
The man of the moment... Yira Collins Sor celebrating one of his goals today.

I get the list

ChrisKels:
When list dey drop? Anybody know?
