ehen no be only me talk am

andrew444:
Aminu Umar is not bad as you might be thinking

He plays regular unlike the okoronkwo

If awaziem can be invited from rizespor then aminu can be also invited, its just that onyekuru and co edges him out.

haha.. i say he go compete well, i no talk say he better oh.
Umar has a lot of games under his belt with good stats to back it up. Onyekuru is way ahead though.

charlesemeka85:
Which team? Well na weekend we dey so it's possible say u Don shayo wella

wait oh.. Salisu Yusuf never serve he one year ban?

Aminu Umar will compete well in this current team. I have no doubt about that.

charlesemeka85:
Lol siasia for still dey invite the likes of Umar, Solomon okoronkwo and co to the super eagles till date

lmao

andrew444:
Ahh, food don ready

Siasia will bring more to SE than Rohr's current assistants.

charlesemeka85:
Bias na small. Siasia team that will score 2 goals and concede 4 in the same match. I will only rate him when he gets a real job than hanging around waiting to come in as super eagles interim coach lmao

Ask komekn hahahaha

andrew444:
What makes you feel he wont see shirt in the championship? LOL

Siasia is the new Amodu Shuibu when it comes to SE caretaker job . But Shuibu did not shy away from managing domestic club sides. We know his achievements.

Oneyekuru is old benchmark. He has long moved on to greater things. There is a reason why I said "new benchmark"

cc12:
Onyekuru scored 22 goals including the relegation play offs while Osimhen scored 19 including the Europa play offs.

True.. it's left to the discipline of the player.

tbaba1234:
Yes, but no one will query him when he fails to show up.

I rate Okereke highly. However, he has to do better than Osimhen did there. Osimhen is the new bench mark for the Jupiler pro league.

andrew444:
Its been about 8 years since club brugge paid 8 million for a player

so u no read am well before?

andrew444:
I have re read what you said

Now you are talking

we are saying the same thing.

andrew444:
Make i no lie you siasia is bias in his selections

hopeful

andrew444:
I hope to see okereke in epl soon, he was bought to replace brazillian wesley who was sold for 25 million

Okereke might be sold that amount because i know he will do well

Dennis is another good player also

A player might be clubless but still attached to a team for the purpose of training
Anyway, I had said "almost as bad as"

tbaba1234:
Well, a bench warmer still has to train daily whether he likes it or not.. A clubless player does what he wants.

A bench warmer is usually physically fit but would lack match sharpness.

A clubless player has to be self motivated to stay at a good level of fitness.

Me I like Siasia's tactical style better. Coupled with a defensive minded assistant and less bias in selection I prefer Siasia to Rohr as crazy as it may sound. Siasia bias pass Rohr own.
Rohr has enjoyed a lot of support. How i wish our past coaches enjoyed such support from the NFF. We probably would have won more trophies by now.

andrew444:
Lol

dont even know what to say

Yes siasia is not that bad

That's a remarkable observation.

markmarble:
Boss one of the major reasons the current U-23 team play a typical 4-4-2 is down to the pairing of Nwakali and Azubuike in central midfield.. Both can act as destroyers and equally make play effortlessly what with their passing range, accuracy and above all effective use of the ball.. This way, it’s easy for them to dominate opponents in the midfield a la ball possession.. This is one glaring imbalance in the Current SE set up with Ndidi and Etebo... The former being a natural defensive shield whilst the latter a converted one,with both lacking the effective use of the ball to exploit opponents defenses when the team is transitioning from Defence to attack what with their lack of passing ability or accuracy often making the transition seem very laborious.. As good as we think they both are ,it’s a seriously flawed pairing that’d Be exploited by more tactically savvy coaches/teams...

But that's almost as bad as a player not getting game time in their clubs, yet still gets invites.

tbaba1234:
Yes.

Siasia is fiercely loyal to his boys. Even when Solomon Okoronkwo was clubless, he still got super eagles invites.

I do not want Siasia near any national team.

Talking about Ubong. He is also a good player. I don't think Siasia was really bad. But the question is would he have kept on to his boys for another 2 years?

andrew444:
Yes

We won brazil with a goal from ubong Ekpai

The truth is EVERY coach has their bias. They are human beings. The question is how bad is their bias?

Thank you.
Siasia would have helped Daniel's development. I remember he was SPLENDID when Nigeria played Brazil in a pre-olympics friendly.

andrew444:
The emmanuel daniel didnt do bad at the olympic, he benched akpeyi or so

No he didn't, but he gave a good account of himself in that very match after he replace Etebo. Don't also forget he went to the Olympics in 2016 as one of our important players. This will be the second time he is in the U23 team.

andrew444:
Zuby didnt even start any of the 2 games, and those games are very crucial

charlesemeka85 can lie for africa

Exactly. No coach has done better in that department.
But it's not like Rorh changed the entire team over time. At least he still has about 50% or maybe 40% of the players he met.
I think Siasia would have brought in a player like Ndidi who has been a full fledged premier league player.. no coach fit play wayo reach that one oh. Ambrose would still have been a SE player. Maybe Amuzie interestingly. Siasia liked that guy a lot. Goal keeper Emanuel Daniel would have been in the SE fold instead of Uzoho.. I just dey guess oh.. I no be Siasia brother o

Earthquake2:
Rohr has sent out invitations to 7 foreign born players, 4 have been successful 3 have not. I think that's the highest in Nigerian football history

But una still want to crucify the man

Zuby would have justified it I believe. Let's not throw the hammer on Siasia. If you do your research on his squad in that double header against Egypt, you wouldn't see much difference compared to the current team.

Here are the snapshots

charlesemeka85:
If say na siasia dey coach super eagles the likes of azubuike go don get 100 caps by now

Many people will still argue your first paragraph.
But I agree that Rohr has been relatively fair. I will score him about 85% in terms of getting the players we can easily get. In terms of getting players with dual-allegiance, he's been trying. But who has done better in that dept?

Earthquake2:
This is the first time in a long time that Nigerian players have been given a level playing ground for selection

The players know that your performances is what brings you to the notice of the national team handlers not man-know-man and that is an added motivation

How Rorh take get part? Start the argument now oh.

Earthquake2:
Last season's performance will be a child's play compared to how Nigerian players will perform this season

And nobody should tell me that Rohr has no part in it

Aneke? We have another versatile player in our hands. He just needs to perform in the Championship, and there will be no question about it.

Earthquake2:
Is Aneke a striker?

I think Chuba Akpom is gradually getting back to form

Don't put Zuby and Nwakali in the same box bro lol

modified
That would be VERY unfair

charlesemeka85:
Bros that's same truth is what I'm saying about azubuike. He is not good enough and not better than the few good ones we have.

He will only get a look in when siasia takes over but with Rohr I doubt such will happen. Him and Nwakali should remain in the u23

is Aneke better than Akpom? We have two "lions in a lower league" here

Earthquake2:
Chiba Akpom scored 4 goals in 5-1 victory over Fortuna Sittard

I think Esiti could still be an option if he can impress Rohr this time, especially as Ogu is near retirement. Esiti brings physicality and is good on duels. But will he impress if given a second chance? We'll never know until we invite him.

andrew444:
Zuby is a central Midfielder while esiti is a pure DM, DM is the only place esiti can play

Zuby can play both, but is position is CM

You are rating Aribo with english league 1 appearance?

hahahahahahahahahaha

Azubuike is more than a destroyer. He has a wonderful passing range. I want to watch him this season though before reaching a conclusion.
Aribo is more like Ndidi, MAYBE a lower grade in terms of tackling and making interceptions. But I think he will offer more in attack.

charlesemeka85:
I disagree the aribo I have watched play is better than azubuike and will offer more to the team that the latter. Azubuike is just a destroyer and we already have an ndidi and etebo who are miles better than him.

Is he better than Anderson esiti who plays the same role as him?

My response above sorry

andrew444:
hehehehe

Azubuike okechukwu
