Everything is alright apart from Sanusi all about running with no brains can't cross to save his Life.

You need technical astute players with intelligence.

But what about that cross to Osimehn though i dont rate Sanusi.

If i have my way no.indigene will become a VC of federal university in his state...most federal universities now are state universities in reality....come see impunities at highest levels in these universities.

Samueltemi337:
he didn't win that ball back


if we were playing with a better team that could have led to a goal

Okay sister.

joelsteron:
Address the problem. Don't add to it. What's "na so" . never learns

Yes my man,it was glaring we are having issues with our midfield which cannot be solved in our next match,only way out is to bring in a very tactical approach that would bring lesser pressure on Osimehn to flourish...check it out,...the same unnecessary stress Osimehn went through similar to what our strikers faced in afcon,so something is missing which must be put in place tactically.

Samueltemi337:
and you didn't see the time Balogun was running with the ball in the midfield and was easy dispossessed that could have been a goal to the Ghanaians


Or the many times Balogun gave away cheap free kicks cause he was too slow

Oga yes you are right but he won the ball back and the said situation was not even a goal threat ...after Uzoho i rate Balogun next in that match ,my opinion Sir.

Pls how many free kicks did we conceded in that match and caused by who,pls tell me.

Samueltemi337:
Na wa o
is it the same slow Balogun I watched in that match that y'all watched
Balogun that put us under so many pressure in that match

Oga have watched the game three times and i do not watch any eagles match again under pressure cos no be today...pls go and watch the match and rate Balogun and Ekong...oh did you see that costly mistake by Ekong saved by Balogun...pls go and watch the match again...rating Bassey than Balogun and you summed it by FAR BETTER says it all....pressures created by Simeon,Chuckwueze,Aribo and Iheanacho for lacked of simple passes and curtained by Balogun,Ekong,Aina and Sanusi...Kudos to our defense line and Uzoho.

joelsteron:
Bring back Rohr abeg. Wing football don tire me. Play a blocking middle man, place another box to box person beside him allowing my Aribo or any other person who can play 10 enjoy free role as attacking midfielder to link our defense with attack simple math. Osimehn just dey run dey suffer for front. They will clip your wing you still want to manage the wing. Mtcheww

Bye bye to Rohr....Osimehn dey run dey suffer for front naso Awoniyi dey run for afcon too...my man i just hope Osimehn come good in Abuja cos my hope is on him.

codemaniacs:
That's how he plays for Nigeria.. he is playing safe so that he doesn't get injured so that he can return to his villar:eal duties..

He hasn't regressed per se..

Oga,you mean he is playing safe in world cup play off...Chuckwueze is off form period.

Samueltemi337:
he is better as a CB


far better than Balogun

Bassey far better than Balogun?Oga Balogun remain unplayable in eagles even Rangers rated him as their best CB

Samueltemi337:
You saw Tunisia cheap goal?


Mali with 10 men still played better than Tunisia

Just like Nigeria vs Tunisia

Joebie:
I have so much respect for Okoye. It would be great to have such a keeper as our second choice. My first choice is Uzoho, firstly because he has World Cup experience. Secondly, he looks more composed and has more command of his area.

Oga Joe,am seeing Okoye as third choice soon just like the way Alloy Agu was relegated from first choice to third prior to US 94 WC....if not for shaking Akpeyi,Okoye is not better...Damn too glaring average Uzoho is far better than Maduka.

andrewbaba44:
I like bonke ,was expecting onyeka to start though ,but I believe bonke will come good

But it seems egu doesn’t rate onyeka,you can tell from the afcon

....and funny enough Bonke didn't make original list even not on standby list....hope he come good today.

somehow:

Hmmmm....John Noble over Ojo,nothing new,Rohr started this inviting Ezenwa a third choice keeper in Enyimba then into eagles and also John Noble even when he lost his club first position...Eguavoen continue where Rohr stopped....question to Alloy Agu to answer cos he served Rohr and still serving Eguavoen..

Really surprised seeing Onazi on the provisional list as standby and injury to Ndidi,Egu ran to Bonnke who was not even in the list,damn confusing.

Let's just be hopeful against Ghana

Subzero47:
Wait did Omeruo dye his head too

Baba Omeruo wan dey roll with small boys ni..Ekong always call Omeruo with respect.

Mujtahida:
The thing is that we quickly label criticism as hate. For me, I really do wish Okoye comes good because if he does, it's all for our pleasure. Thing however is that he's not been commanding since he became number one. Kog45 presciently said it during the Afcon match against Egypt when the buzz was high, that he's afraid Okoye will cost us the tournament and that was what happened.

I wish the young man all the best. E just be say e dey make me panic. I can endure otu attacker, otu winger, otu midfielder. But I cannot endure otu defenders and goalkeepers for obvious reasons

Nobody hate Okoye but we need to say obvious....Maduka has not had any significant outing for eagles to justify that he is numero uno.

Nigeria have produced good national team keepers from Emma Okala,Peter Fregene,Joe Enrico,Amusa Adisa,Patrick Okala,Best Ogedegbe,Peter Rufai,Wilfred Agbonavbare,Vincent Enyeama and Carl Ikeme and I want to say I can only compare Alloy Agu to Okoye Maduka cos nothing spectacular about Alloy Agu throughout his career.....I remember how fans were always furious seeing Alloy Agu picked ahead of talented Christian Obi in Moscow 85 and when Westerhof came it was the same Agu but it was obvious he was not better.Good Agbonavbare came to the rescue during US 94 qualifiers and Rufai later made it as number one during Afcon and World Cup.

Truly Maduka is young but till today I still find it hard how equally young Uzoho with world cup experience lost out to fellow average keeper like Maduka with no single remarkable display in GWG.

Check your partner phone and next na depression o....abeg make we dey roll go anyhow,cheating or no cheating.

kayuseful:

Well..
If not for the absence of Osimhen, Paul and Dennis, you may not have had the chance to top strike at Afcon o

Somehow "tribal war" helped you grab a shirt
Mention that you have a sadiq umar, an Ahmed Musa so you can get financial support from an Alhaji.
It's sad but the reality.
You can't pack a team of people from one region and expect all Nigerians to cheer you on

Oga no Yoruba in Nigeria Japan 93 squad and nobody cared...the team was fully supported especially from south west but damn funny now the way we see things from tribal angle.

mostob:
I like this your logic ehn.... So if a lady rejected you thrice and was even willing to date a guy not up to your standard,you will still go back and beg her right?
There is a saying 'marry who love you more than you love her' why? Because she would be ready to do anything for you...she will be ready to ride with you through thick and thin.(this is what Thegoodjoe meant by passion)

Now, if the lady that rejected you thrice now decided to accept your advance, that's when you become a Simp pro max ... She will automatically become the husband while you become the wife...she will be the one dictating for you...she may decide one day to break up with you and there is nothing you can do, she can even roll out a timetable for you and you will follow it whether you like it or not ....

To the girl that will only date you when you're ready made (Olise) , as you know that life can't be rosy all the time, how sure are you that she will stay with you throughout the down times?

CC:safarigirl....sir mostob this your comment go bring another lengthy discussion o.

charlesemeka85:
moses wey at a point started skipping games with excuses that he is injured

One of the most unpatriotic players I hv witnessed play for the super eagles

Charles baba,Kanu and Okocha did worst during 2006 WC qualifier and it cost us.

charlesemeka85:
and those born and bred here wey no get passion for the team nko?

The likes of osimehn,Dennis and ighalo wey shun afcon she’s dem be foreign born kids?

Abi almighty jay jay and others that shunned invite for friendlies during their time in the national team dem born them for America abi?

Balogun reached out to us because he realized he wasn’t good for the German national team. Em eye open on time

Same goes to ekong

Thank you Charles,Stephen Keshi made a phone call to Balogun prior to 2014 WC and later played a friendly, got injured in that particular match.

Oga Charles beg or no beg,eagles need quality players to enhance our performance.

jihday:
aside from that, in 2008 he was a 21YO player who was just starting so he prioritize his club career but in 2016 he was almost 30 and had won all that can be won even if he was dropped by Chelsea he can always get another club he had nothing to prove to anybody again.

Did you know that Conte era was the darkest in Mikel entire career...no EPL club was willing to offer a contract,next was China move.

Super cop wey dey roll with Hushpupi,cubana and funny enough Mc oluomo.

TheGoodJoe:


It is not media talk. If Moses had come, Conte would have treated him the same way.

Oga joe, Mikel was not in Conte plan and everything started during pre season tour...Vic Moses got Conte confidence during the same pre season.

Baba am one of Mikel biggest addicted fan and I followed him like kilode since I knew him during U17 training tour to Ilorin.

Sir,going to Olympics was not the issue cos it was evident to Mikel that Conte doesn't rate him and only way out to kill the boredom was to play in Olympics the same Olympics he rejected in 2005.

TheGoodJoe:


By the way, the same Mikel lost his place at Chelsea due to his devotion to play in the Olympics.

Sir,Mikel came to Rio Olympics cos it was cleared he was not in Conte plan...forget media talks.It was cleared to Siasia and Mikel

BOOOMNAIJA:
Someone said Umar Sadiq is better than osimhen

Hmmm...koko be dis my man

Sadiq better than Osimehn?NO o,no debate.

Sadiq better than Ighalo?NO though I don't know tomorrow.

Sadiq better than Onuachu?NO...he need to move out of Segunda first to prove it.

Sadiq better than Awoniyi?NO..just concluded Afcon player index said NO.

Sadiq Umar is a talented player and has everything to do it at high level but playing in Segunda still a question mark to rate him than any of eagles striker.

TheGoodJoe:

That should stop. We should have a policy that they reach out to us. We should focus more on youth development. We can raise a mean squad if we channel much effort to keep raising high-grade players from the youth level. We raised Ndidi, Iheanacho, Osimhen, Omeruo, Awoniyi, Isaac Success, Chidera Ejuke, etc from the youth grade system. If we channel funds and groom our coaches to make our scouting and development at this level proper, we can keep raising quality players.

Coupled with any foreign-born with the passion to reach out t o us.

As for any homegrown player that wants to focus on his career, we should give him full support by allowing him to focus on his club footie.

Our focus should lie on those that want to play for us. Whether foreign, or home grown.

We need the likes of Osimhen that was ready to defy odds with his club to play for us. Mikel went against Conte to join the Olympic teams. These are players with passion.

Enough of all these red carpet treatment.

Oga,hmmmm I got your point,no red carpet abi....but the same Mikel refused to play 2008 Olympics.

komekn:
Irrespective of longevity in the SE your club and league performance are still a barometer for selection to any national team.

We don't know how good someboyis until given justifiable opportunity and selection. Omeruo looks slow dated and unable to cope with physicality from strong physical forward players.

In the last AFCON Ajayi seemed a lot better to me, in addition Ajayi brings aerial dominance at set pieces and in defence. What does Omeruo bring , old age , longevity ❓ He should be dropped. We need better.

Calvin is clearly better even better than Balogun.

Baba,Bassey better than Balogun?until I see him in eagles colour.

13large:
Dennis didn’t say no, the NFF did not meet his deadline invitations

But a Senegalese player later had his way but Dennis couldn't..

drDoom3:
Why not now? If he proves to be better than what we have, it will be for the good of the team. Carrying the Oyibo wall to the world cup is a disaster waiting to happen, Omeruo is no better. The earlier we organize our defensive issues, the better for us.

Doctor,and Calvin Bassey is the solution?

In the just concluded Afcon,our defense lines were superb,losing to Tunisia had made a lot to talk shit about the team.

I don't mind see Bassey as our LB competing with Sanusi and Collins.....my question do we really need a world class CB before we perform as a team?NO and fine we don't even have one,left for the coach to bring the best out on the available ones,a team with Semi,Awaziem,Omeruo,Ekong and Balogun should not be disturbed and our outing at last Afcon testified that we have a good defence line.

I watched Bassey with keen interest recently and I would say a very promising young guy with full potential as LB but would be a great asset as SE squad member cos he can also do it as CB,meaning Collins out and one CB shoukd be dropped to give way for additional midfielder.

TheGoodJoe:

Fruitless move. Eguavoen and Amunike will fall my hand if they call these guys after we have qualified. Their hearts are not with the team. It is better they spend time scouting other leagues than looking into these red carpet-seeking people.

But our own Dennis said NO to Afcon...Samuel Kalu said he should be excused for now,just tell me the difference....Oga goodjoe,anything that will bring success to this team is acceptable.

humility33:
If we can get Olise, then we don't need Eze

We need both of them my Oga.

LordIsaac:
He's actually a good cop. But he allowed the love of money precipitated by the corrupt system to usurp his prowess.

He is not a good cop but a fake project that failed...waiting for another fake project Bawa of EFCC.This guys are not intelligent as they want us to believe.
