Another questionable one is Kayode Bankole who is 2nd choice at Remo Stars!!!!! Bankole wasn't even trusted to be the No 1. CHAN goalie, so how come he's on the list?

comodo:
Believe owngoal at ur own detriment. That guy has been a constant K for Tornadoes. But it's criminal removing Uche and Onyeka from the list

TheSuperNerd:
Finish? We have Rivers Niger and Benue. Chelle is in good hands "water-wise"

Meliforme:
Frank Onyeka's overall game of passing is ahead of Joe Aribo's.
Frank Onyeka's forward runs will definitely affect his number of short passes and their precision, but even at that his numbers are good.
Frank Onyeka's long balls, crosses, etc are better than Joe Aribo's.

Whatever reasons that informed Eric Chelle's preferences will be manifest when we see his style of football.

Oasis007:


.......una too dey complain sha. What is difference between NFF and most folks here by the way?! Una dey complain the list no dey ok and would definitely influenced it if had the power.

Make una allow the Coach do his job! He knows Nigerians, he knows what is at stake! He toured round the world to see some of the players in actions. He watched some local matches as well hence made his choices.

Let's allow him to breathe, all that matters is 6pts!

TheSuperNerd:
Let's just focus on the upcoming game.

Yes, Frank Onyeka's exclusion is a shock. He was Nigeria's best MF at the last Afcon. But then, there is some truth in the fact that the MFs selected are better ball passers than Onyeka.
Even at that, none of them does the "water carrier" job in the middle better than Onyeka. Either they match him or come close or are far off.

The biggest shock for me is Christantus Uche not getting his first true main invite to the GWG. He is of a profile that we don't have in the Super Eagles. A yaya toure regen and will also serve us in the final third as a powerful CAM with physical presence and high technical quality. But I believe his time will come eventually this year.

Good to finally see Igoh Ogbu getting called up. We need him at the back. His invite brings the Omeruo/Awaziem CB eras to an end.

Alhassan Yusuf is a player many love to throw shades at but again he is as workaholic as Onyeka and Ndidi and has more on-the-ball quality than both of them. The only issue is his diminutive stature. A bit lightweight which makes him extra aggressive in duels to make up for his small stature and it sometimes gets him carded for rough tackles. I like him but he is a MF we can drop too.

Papa Daniel... a local lad who happens to be the best of the bunch among the CHAN Eagles Midfielders. Giving him a chance is not a bad move but if you ask me personally who I am dropping to accommodate both Uche and Onyeka in the list, Daniel will be one of them.

Papa Daniel, Aribo and Yusuf.

I will drop 2 out of these 3 to bring in Uche and Onyeka.


In all, the list is the list. Chelle has finally revealed the first layer of his shell. Picking his first 11 is the next layer to unveil.

Soon, the shell over Chelle's introductory tactical approach for this team will fall off and we will know for sure.

Again, let's just focus on the upcoming game.

Onyeka- Augsburg
Onyedika- Brugge
Ojediran- Lens
Chukwuemeka- Dortmund

Maestro- Bradford 😊

ChrisKels:
I don't know why some of you are complaining over this move. To me, this guy made the right move at the right time considering his injury history, after all, he has been a rope of sand in the green white green so why the bickering?

Dude should go amass some wealth when he still has the time.

ChrisKels:
That is why no one is worried about his move to Saudi because as long as the super Eagles is concerned, 90% of the fans don't rate him, and for now, wouldn't consider him a loss if he goes there.

@joebie…I heard d Rwanda 🇷🇼 coach didn’t agree to a new deal yesterday,so Dey re now looking at deir local coach who qualified dem to chan…majority of their chan team plays for d Rwanda national senior team

chrisooblog:
In all fairness Boniface has been given ample playing time facing the likes of Lesotho, Sao Tome, Rwanda, Zimbabwe and he's still yet to find the back of the net so Egbon Kog45 is within his rights to criticize him.

Dessers for all his limitations hasn't enjoying an extended run in the SE yet has goals to his name against solid opposition like Mexico and Ghana. Yes he missed a chance against Mali which forward doesn't? At least he was even in a position to score something I've not seen enough of from Boniface. Yes Victor is obviously more talented but if you can't bring it when it matters most what's the point?

Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella on the Bench for Bayer Leverkusen

For those clamouring for opening screening to be reintroduced at the U-17 level, e be lyk say una no know naija ur country?

For the fact that the system worked means it won't ever be used again

chrisooblog:
Wait till you hear Nwakali is about to be sold to a club in Malta or mistakenly say Iheanacho is world class trust me him go appear sharp sharp

Kog45:
Awoniyi and Umar are not back cuz I don't see scoring a goal after long laid off due to fitness as back in form....or do we say Onuachu is back for scoring first EPL goal.

Philosopher1979:
Awoniyi has been injured since around March next year. He just came back from injury around November. Another player us benching him and gradually, he is getting back to form. His lack of game time is an issue but his coach still support him.
Saduq umar got a season long injury. When he came back, he started struggling with game time. He us now in valencia from real sociedadad. Again, he is trying to get back in form.
They are good players but they need time to get back in form.
Don't you follow Nigerian players

Philosopher1979:
Dessers should be in the Super Eagles. I don't know why they keep ignoring him. Awoniyi just getting back to form umar also just getting back to form, onuachu struggles with the Super Eagles. Moffi injured till march. Dessers deserves a chance. Hubba.
Chubs akpom should also be in the Super eagles

Samueltemi337:
Osimhen the penalty king scores from the spot

BascoVanVeli:
Ademola Lookman is on another planet right now. For me he is one of the best players in the world.
