We are beating Zimbabwe atleast by 3 goals.
One thing about these smaller teams, Nigeria should always try to score them early and they will lose total concentration...they won't know either to attack or to continue playing defensively

Odunayaw:

AndSunGorilla:
If u no dey skeptical, I would have been worried.

TheSuperNerd:
Abeg, na first half for your timeline?? I wan know if Onyedika go still enter match because Iwobi starting alongside Ndidi dey do me one kain.

minfelix:
is this it?

Sugarboyy:
Please any sure link where I can watch Atalanta vs Inter?

AndSunGorilla:
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.
