i think Nwakali even had the easier path but failed to take advantage

That's not even the issue,Aribo and Nwakili are two young Nigerians that we should all be proud of but presently one is doing great while the other one is pushing harder to have his career back and good for this opportunity coming up,Nwakili can come good.

Aribo was a university drop out,from non league player to a national team player is something great.He earned it not that he lobbied for it,a debut against Brazil with a goal and followed it up with a goal against Ukraine.

Fact,Nwakili has Aribo to displace and Aribo need to raise his game to put Nwakili on the bench not forgetting experience Alex Iwobi.

Boss me no support idenna ,but in all fairness to some of his point concerning ndidi, I also share some of his sentiment.. Ndidi is a better option Dan what we av at d moment...but is dere a gulf difference btw ndidi and other options we av in d midfield, judging by his performance In eagles shirt... I would say "NO". ....but in osimhen case ,d difference is huge compared to what oda strikers like nacho,onauchu brings to d table... And as for nwakali..personally I believe he's good for d bench.. In case iwobi start his "NEPA" attitude..I think with dis few point of mine,I hope I av been able to convince u and not to confuse you dt ndidi can b replaced wout losing sleep

Elyte I love it when we are talking football,not all these racist talks,one is local or foreign born....am one of earlier criticizer of Ndidi in eagles,till today I still rate Onazi than him but big question who is benching Ndidi?

IDENNAA:
The northerners and southwesterns will never voted and Igbo man in a major election....nobi preference. You Nigerians are hypocrites...dmh

Sorry sir, am beginning to understand your pain as a Nigerian.

It's well.

elyte89:
Boss forget dt one..d only person indispensable in eagles squad is osimhen...looking at his performance, every oda person can be replaced and d team would b fine

Elyte,even Osimehn can be replaced but one thing is clear what individuals brings to the table determine how important they are to the team.

Osimehn and Ndidi are more important player than Nwakili and Ejuke.

charlesemeka85:
thunder fire you there with your hate for foreign born players

I swear malu better pass you

Pls sir,there is no need for this I beg....we are talking football and is good for the thread

IDENNAA:
Nwakali is a local boy who we followed his progression and very familiar with his skill set , which makes it comfortable for us to trust him.

Aribo is an English born who we don't know what he is doing with SE and why he is wearing number 10 without the requisite quality. Before you reply me I want you to remember club football means nothing to us if you can't replicate it with SE. Is it clear , now ?

Sir,you damn funny,Super eagles have been watching since 1980 as Green eagles......Oh Nwakili is your own and Aribo is not your own....it's well with us as a Nigerian.

IDENNAA:
Ndidi doesn't bring anything to the table , to be sincerely honest. Therefore , I dont see the reason for the importance attached to Ndidi.

In fact , I am beginning to feel the high value placed on Ndidi is one of the reason this current Eagles keep fumbling. You guys kept thinking Ndidi will come and save SE because he plays for Leicester. But you couldn't be more wrong because Ndidi is actually holding us back while you guys keep believing he will move us forward with his "world class" status. Its high time Ndidi is benched or moved to CB where he belongs.

My hope is that he doesn't start and Onyeka will take his place with Nwakali in the middle...I want to see how this experiment will go.

Oga I know you don't rate Ndidi and nothing wrong with it but only a dead coach will bench Ndidi in SE.

Subzero047:
Aribo is a very poor midfielder but has been the best player in the Scottish league from midfield, remind me what is Nwakali doing again?

The rating Nwakili is receiving here is confusing,just remind me of Joel Obi prior to 2018 world cup.

Good performance from him will surely boost our midfield.

Meliforme:
Based on the few matches that we have seen of Ejuke, if you are yet to see what he brings, then i will leave you to whatever you make of him.

sir,am one of the people here that rated him highly but he has not earned it "IMPORTANT"....He has this Afcon to tell us what he can do just like the way Amuneke did in Tunis 94 with a match.

humility33:
Foreign born players nor know how to sort na
They're naive of how some unknow Nigeria born players get call ups

Nigeria coaches ehhh thank God that Portuguese was appointed

sir humility,we need to stop this foreign born vs Nigeria born here,not good for our image.

Danielnino00:
Tega Abraham

Oh I got your jokes...didn't do well in training in the eyes of the manager.

Tammy had 12 goals from 18 start out of 32 games and still the highest goal scorer,only Tuchel can explain why Tammy wasn't good enough for him.

Danielnino00:
Tega obviously didn't earn the right to play
He was utterly rubbish in training and in the eyes of the manager

Pls which Tega

Meliforme:
Ndidi, Osimhen and Nwakali are the three most important players, followed closely by Ejuke.
These guys are very unique in what they bring.

Oga meli,just say Victor Osimehn and Wilfred Ndidi.....Nwakili and Ejuke have Afcon to prove to us how good they are....and telling us Kelechi Nwakili is very important to eagles,sir I disagree,pls on what basis....I can only lose sleep on Osimehn and Ndidi if they are not available for selection.

Sir,time for us to calm down on Nwakili cos is rating here is damn on high sides,based on his performance so far he should just thank Eguavoen for believing in him,nothing more.

We need to reduce the pressure on the young man,the coming Afcon is an opportunity for him to prove a lot wrong and I wish the young man well.

TheGoodJoe:

Seyi can start the journey of redefining our football if he has the right ideas. He can come up with a working plan, prepare dossiers, and advice the NFF team when they are derailing.

It was a chance to become the Nigerian Football Federation's technical director. He would have been the one to provide the answers. Hiding under the sand of them being clueless does not count.

Under Obasanjo's government, we had lots of clueless people in power. That did not stop Ngozi Okonjo Iweala from working with Obasanjo to carry out one of the best economic transformations that was enjoyed by three governments after Obsanjo.

Seyi redefining Nigeria football with set of football administrators we have in this country....my man is not easy handling those guys in the glass house o.....and Seyi that I know very well will find it difficult working with those mafias.

The man who made K1 de ultimate...RIP kabiyesi.

Subzero047:
This one is running around trying to convince himself and others that Mao from Twitter space said that Rohr sneaked in Emmanuel Dennis in a 40 man list he already submitted to CAF and thereby Watford had to deny the callup despite the fact that it was announced the same time as Ekong, you sound ridiculous man

Sir,something is cleared here,Dennis don't want to come for Afcon...I just put a call to his then principal in academy who is my senior brother and said if Dennis is ready,nobody can stop him,not about receiving call up late.....if we remember a news came up that he was not coming for Afcon but later denied it but Ranieri after Watford West ham said the call up came late.

Sir,Dennis already made up his mind on Afcon,the zeal wasn't there and is good cos such attitude can cause disharmony in camp....Osimehn body language was cleared on Afcon,so nobody should twit the story to favor Dennis.

humility33:
God forbid he leads the line

Umar Sadiq will seize the opportunity

The top 9 in the team....Ighalo,Awoniyi and Sadiq,left for Eguavoen to decide but am seeing Ighalo leading the line based on his experience since highly talented Osimehn is not available but if he wants to see a little bit style of Osimehn then Awoniyi to lead,and if he have the gut then Sadiq but a real tactical formation Iheanacho is the answer.

Osimehn would be missed.

Zico5:
The op is not truthful. Femi Adebayo is older than Odunlade Adekola. Femi is not less than 47 years old.

U sabi Femi very well.

Odunayaw:
Show us Pictures or you're excreting as usual

Odun baba,there is no need for pictures...is a faceless forum and what make a man is being truthful...Komekn is a respectful moniker here forget all his hypes about anything English....the recent votes to decide the committee to handle Nairaland sport personalities of the year,he was nominated to tell you he is well respected here.

Some here have personal relationships with these players so let just always respect our opinions even if it looks suspicious.

12large1:
You have to consider the environment and poverty striken that he grew up on. I actually like his angry spirit and kelechi needs such attitude

Oga large you said what....

Oasis001:


This is not the first time he has been called out, but our Pipo said na Cruise he catch, make we leave am.

Kai,this was very rude of him.I remember his outburst with punch newspaper which he later apologize....I think he need good PA to run stuff for him on social media.

Victor Osimehn need to always calm down in reacting to fans....a twitter user @AbiodunOx out of care asked Osimehn about his covid status but the replied the guy got damn bewilder and spark mixed reactions from users....Victor said go and ask your grandfather.

chrisooblog:
According to Owngoal Onyekuru has been called up to replace Osimhen

Owngoal abi....went through pulse news and according to his club he received his call up late Wednesday night...I don't know how true is this news.

humility33:
You see that Noble invitation it goes to show some players made this list based on man know man

I just dont understand why indigenous coaches can't prove to be different for ones

I expect Goodjoe to defend Equeavon on that call up too or rather use Rohr lapses to defend it forgetting Equeavon was the Technical Director that approves that 40 man list

Oga humility when Ezenwa dey make eagles list as third choice keeper with Enyimba you no talk o.

My man Rohr said it himself that his team selection was purely by him and nobody from NFF had any input cos he doesn't listen to them.

Sir,you want Omeruo,Collins,Shehu,Olisa out and let me add to it I want Musa,Ekong,Zanusi out too but guess what,you can't discard 30% of your squad less than a month to a tournament.

How I wish Akpoguma and Ebuehi made it but who to blame for that...I don't even know again cos if I mention Rohr na issue,Eguavoen wahala abi na Peseiro we go blame.

My man make we just enjoy Afcon as the thing dey go.

Olisa Ndah,John Noble and Taiwo Awoniyi in camp.

IDENNAA:
Cc. Kogs45

You meant to tell me you are lost to the reason Eguavon invited Nwakali

Pls read my post again....

Isahalbash:
Where is Oba of England; Mr emotive bias and prejudice?

Thank you for this info....to hell with owngoal the tales by moonlight journalism.

PurpleHouse:
Yeah you're right.

As for the issue of Akpos, I think he has similar issue with Ebuehi. Rohr is the cause of all this. If he had player Akpos at his right position and benched Ekong, if he had tried him as a CB instead of using him as a LB, dude would have cemented his position and fine to Afcon.

As for Ebuehi, I nor know weytin this guy do Rohr wey he kept benching him for backwater Shehu and collins.na him cause all this fight we dey fight here since 2weeks, and the fight nor go end unless we win Afcon. And if we nor win Afcon some players may not be intrested in palying for Super Eagles anymore. That means more fight go plenty here.

May the strongest people win this fight coming in the future. Just that e get some people here wey I for like press their neck for real life.

Oh my God...three gbosa for you.

How person go achieve his goals in this Buhari kind of economy...Op abi u no dey naija ni.

PurpleHouse:
One thing I know is that thunder will fire the person that removed Ebuehi from that list. Dude is really pained, he's gone philosophical.

But God bless the SUPER EAGLES still.

Oga purple you don para o...when Rohr keep on inviting Shehu over Ebuehi,this is the end results.

TheGoodJoe:

If Kelz Nwakali and Ndah ends on the bench, it won't be far fetched. Keep in mind there is little time for thorough preparation and they can come in if the coach wants to make a tactical switch.

For now, Eguavoen made it clear he is working with the team on ground. Therefore, there is a big chance the Rohr regulars will run the show.

However, I am expecting different and seeing Kelz and Ndah breaking in.

fingers crossed my man.
