Oga aneke I doubt will get a call up. He is 26 already and hv been a veteran in the lower leagues of English football. He have to do something extraordinary to get a call up.

Rohr who believes in younger talents will instead prefer giving the likes of Eze and ejaria a chance than turning to a 26 year old league 2 veteran

Great work from Harvey and a finish to match from Kelechi 👌#RthLei pic.twitter.com/qDsoL95qTI

Everything should be based on continous consistent top quality performances in thier respective in and league.

By the way you, Eéeeeeee be like sai you contradict yourself. In saying that Aribo is ready for the SE and not Chuks

Because you said the Chuks has not been tested at a higher level implying that Aribo has.

Chuks was the most outstanding player in league one two seasons ago before MK Dons got relegated check his stats goals and assists. MK Dons refused to sell him blatantly after several firm offers from Championship clubs.

He was also the most outstanding player in league two.

He is now in the Championship and Aribo is in a much lower league. Rangers as a club is on league one level England.

So your proposition is contradictory.

ChrisKels:
Staying put at Gala(first team) . Already getting kudos from the Gala faithfuls for his displays so far in the preseason. One to keep an eye on.

komekn:
I disagree.

Not with the kind of robust physical football played in the AFCON particularly Onyekuru and Osimhen are too lightweight.

Chukwueze is able but has a lot learn with end product.

komekn:
Tell me one players that can do what Chuks does in our current set of players.

Aribo plays almost like the old fashioned enforcer he is similar to Ndidi but drives forward more like Gerard with a decent shot.

Icon4s:
For me it should be Uzoho, Okoye and Alampasu/any of the U23 goalies going forward. This trio can cope with the challenges of playing Benin, Sierra Leone and Lesotho. We need to start giving them the game time/ experience and confidence.

Any player that we don't think can make the next AFCON and WC IMO should be dropped now.

The strategy should be to use the 2021 AFCON qualifiers, 2022 WC qualifiers and 2021 AFCON to build a very formidable team for the 2022 WC. We should also win enough matches to boost our FIFA ranking so as to stand a chance of being placed in a higher seeded pot and by extension a relatively easy group.

No excuses for Rohr going forward. At least a Quarter Final for 2022WC and 2021 AFCON trophy should be the next yardstick for measurement for him.

charlesemeka85:
The positions we need more quality is the central defence, midfield and striking positions.

I pray Rohr can be able to lure tomori and uduokhai. Both with awaziem will be good understudy to omeruo, ekong and aging balogun.

In midfield we need atleast 3 midfielders to add to the duo of ndidi and etebo. John ogu should kiss the super eagles goodbye.

In attack, I pray nacho rediscover his MOJO, oshimeh and awoniyi to continue their development in their prospective new clubs.

Also Okereke plays as a top striker atimes

Icon4s:
Watching these players' YouTube review is good. But it doesn't tell the whole story.

We have seen countless players in the past flop despite having eye poping video reviews.

There was a time on this thread when peeps would rate players as "our best defender", "our best striker" or "our best Midfielder" based solely on 5mins video reviews.
Now we know better.

There will definitely be injection of new bloods into the Super Eagles but this cannot be solely based on these 3-5mins video reviews.

komekn:
I am not an advocate of video clips as the main tool to asses players it is too easily contrived and manipulated to make players look better than they actually are. When i submit video clips i only submit 5-7 minute clips of individual games not merge 5/6 games into one clip to make you look like Neymar when you are more like Phil Neville.

Aribo is tough battling midfielder who has fought his way against all odds to get to where he is, he hant been schooled in the technical niceties of the game but he is a warrior and he is somewhat similar to Gerrard in his style of play. Now that's the pertinent phrase STYLE OF PLAY.

So i am going to put three Youtube videos of these 4 players Aribo, Eze, Onomah,
and Chuks which gives a clear indication of thier STYLE OF PLAY then you can answer the question which most suites the 9ja way or if you like historical organisation delivery ethos of the SE.

The choice is your, Akpoo, Amala, Starch or Pounded Yam

Ovie does not need to bulk up AT ALL he is deceptively strong although he doesn't really like the physical side of football he is more intelligent and technical with his football.

edi287:
Aribo is quite good on the ball. He's a traditional two way b2b mid.
You are right about Chuks. I wouldn't mind seeing him in our Olympics team.

SV Eintracht Trier 05 wonderkid Armin Olayo has snubbed the opportunity to represent Germany and wants to pursue an international career with Nigeria, allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed.

Olayo was included in the Germany U16 squad for a winter training camp in Spain in February and was named on the standby list for a DFB screening tournament in Duisburg in May 2019.

The Nigeria Football Federation did not have to coerce him before he opted to play for Nigeria's youth teams and he already has a Nigerian passport ahead of a possible trip to Nigeria to join the Golden Eaglets.

The goalkeeper is on the radar of the Nigeria U17 coaches who are searching for players to beef up the squad before the resumption of camping for the U17 World Cup.

Olayo is a star in the making; he has the ability to read games, has good passing skills and positional awareness, and excellent reflexes.

In recent times, Nigeria youth teams have embraced dual-eligible players, with Adrian Akande and Joseph Oluwabusola making the roster for the U17 AFCON, while Tom Dele-Bashiru and Nnamdi Ofoborh played for the Flying Eagles at the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup.

Gernor Rohr Speaks On Dumping Super Eagles For Morocco

Jul 23, 2019

Super Eagles Head coach, Gernot Rohr, has noted that he is still under contract with the Nigeria Football Federation and therefore, dismissed the speculations linking him with Morocco and Gabon.

The Morocco national team is looking for a new coach after the Atlas Lions handler, Herve Renard failed to guide them past the second round of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles Coach denied the report that he had made contact with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.

Rohr during an interview with Sportinglife.ng said, “Though I’ve heard the rumours that Morocco wanted me, the truth is that nobody has contacted me about any job; I also heard that people in Gabon are also thinking about me”.

“But I cannot even negotiate with another country because I still have a binding contract with Nigeria.”

“Of course, it is an honour to be mentioned than for no country to want you at all but I’m still under contract. I still have a one year contract with Nigeria.”

“I think everybody saw the good job being done here in Nigeria whereby we came from being number 11 to become number three in Africa.”

Earthquake2:
Before the Afcon would you have taken a semifinal and a bronze medal or not?

do4luv14:
keep the head coach relieve the GK coach of his position, and draft in IKEME full time as a GK coach,

go for a creative 10, talk both IGHALO and VICMO outta retirement( let the young guns learn from them, especially CHUKS)

he can learn how vicmo finds his way outta tight space, his daring runs, and his final ball,

somehow:
Let's flip the coin. If it was a Nigerian coach that got all the resources + salary, free hand, friendlies (No Nigerian coach has ever enjoyed this) that got us this result, would those calling for Rohr's retention want that coach to stay?

Amodu Shuaibu achieved more than Rohr with less than half of what Rohr was given

Keshi achieved more than what Rohr achieved with half of what Rohr got

Yet we still want to waste $1m on a 66yrs old foreigner. Nigeria prefers to train an old foreigner on the job while still paying him the salary of a professional coach.

Do we think at all?

who cursed us?

wayodude:
We should be the Brazil of Africa? Why? Because of our out of control population explosion? Our population domination in Africa doesn't bestow football development rights.

The fine line between confidence and arrogance has been crisscrossed here too many times for my last liking and I am a full Nigerian. Imagine then how that comes across to a neutral and then a rival.

Why do we rate ourselves so highly it has now become ridiculous?

How many Nigerian players have ever won the African player of the year award and when was the last time a Nigerian won it?

Of the 15 times we have played in AFCON semifinals we have lost 8, that is more than half!!

Of the 7 times we have played in AFCON finals was have lost 4, again that is more than half!

Can anyone who isn't deluded claim we had the best squad at this last AFCON bar none? At best we had one of the best squads and the results achieved mirror that fact.

We failed to qualify for 3 of the last 5 AFCONs (we have 40% attendance at the competition since the turn of the decade). There are multiple reasons for this, including player quality and coaching. Regardless of NFF infighting we should be participating without fail, we should be Brazil of Africa remember?

I agree we are not all fans of Rohr's methods. I have been appalled at times with the way he sets up his teams. Examples such as at Wembley in the first half and his selections against Seychelles in a dead rubber game. BUT....

...IF he leaves today either by sacking or resignation he IMO can leave with his head held high and I will agree he played a role in setting us up for future success. How we manage what he leaves behind will determine if we harness the potential he has laid down.

So far, he has done well. However I think he will be carrying out an inquest on I'd he genuinely thinks he can take the team higher than where it is now. If he thinks not, he will resign. This I am sure of.

DrLikita12:
NNL playoffs actually held today (not the 24th as I had earlier read).
Warri Wolves, Adamawa United, Jigawa Golden Stars and Akwa Starlets promoted.
Shooting Stars lives to fight another day.

Enyimba stays poaching players...from Ebube Duru to Olisema, James Bala, Mbaoma, etc.

BascoVanVeli:
Gather here if you were not an infant the last time your country won an AFCON

TheGoodJoe:
A lot of the reasons why we did not qualify was because of NFF in house fighting. The fact remains an achievable bar was set and hitting it does not make it special.

andrew444:
Amunike would have gotten us the afcon trophy That's what he beleive

BascoVanVeli:
A country has not made it to the tournament in 4 years and u are saying bronze isn't good enough. Does that even sound normal in your head? Abeg think what you want I am not wasting my time to discuss such.

andrew444:
He is not a bad coach and wont be bad for the eagles either

But all i am saying is that we might not value what we have and others will (one man food is another man poison)

But if the so called renard is our coach, make him just go afcon no pass quarter final, complain don start
