200M watches...okay o...no wonder boys dey do yahoo ritual.....

zuchyblink:
you are arguing out of context I never said they are not experienced but I was comparing them to Ighalo,Nacho and Osimehn. Rohr prefers these three for now

Zuchy man....out of context indeed...i love you cos you are a smart guy but you should know that some of us here get third eyes.

TheLoneCitizen:
With the Swedish League coming to an end, if Amoo gets a move to the right club, he has the chance of competing for the golden boy award in the next two seasons.

An African player has never won this.

Pls is this Amoo really good cos the raves he is getting here....

charlesemeka85:

Strugglingman:
afcon 2019 we lost to madagascar not mozambique sir

Thank you Sir...just modified now...na that "M" o...God bless you.

khunz:
Great news for Nigeria.

Osihmen back in training after medical clearance but still under observation.

Yes we can't afford to miss Victor Osimehn...hope he makes it.

12large1:
On current form and based on SE available players, the likes of awoniyi and Dennis deserves to be in SE 11….. (starting)

Yes on current form the starting eleven should be...

Maduka Okoye

Awaziem Chiedozie

Ola Aina

Wilfred Ndidi

Leon Balogun

Kevin Akpoguma

Frank Onyeka

Dennis Emma

Ayodele Aribo

Taiwo Awoniyi

Chidera Ejuke.....

pls 12large give me good formation with this team.

**though not sold on Ndidi/Onyeka starting together but as some always insisting that they can do it together and with Onyeka form,he is unplayable.

***Osimehn out injured.

fabyom:
We were lucky at that tournament. Vicmo coming on to cause 2 penalties against Ethiopia in the last 10 minutes was our saving grace. You should know that the team performance in the group stages was so porous that Keshi's sack letter was already drafted before we played Ivory coast. Against the Ivorians, Vicmo, Mikel, Omeruo, Eyeanma, Onazi, and Emenike had the game of their lives helped with a little luck. We were not spectacular but fortunate. That team should not be the standard!

Oga Faby,pls remove the word "LUCKY" the team earned it and won 2013 Afcon with a class....the team started slowly and gained momentum from quarter finally till final....in the group stage there was a missing link in the midfield,Fegor Ogude and Nosa Igiebor were not doing enough,Joseph Yobo needed to be replaced by Kenneth Omeruo,Brown Ideye was brought in to pair Emma Emenike and IK Uche wasn't ready to play as Keshi wanted...it took the introduction of Onazi and Sunday Mba to brought the needed stability to the team.

Hope you remember that Afcon 2019 team struggled too during group stage even lost to Madagascar....Afcon 1990 we lost to Algeria 5-1 but Westerhoff did the needful aftermath and went to final.

2013 Afcon won it with pure class,pls go and watch Nigeria Mali semi final match again,it has been long Nigeria had such dominance in a game of such magnitude.

zuchyblink:
you don't know Sunday Mbah. He played actively in the local league from 2005 to 2013(8 yrs) he met Mikel in Pepsi academy

....and you are saying Dennis with 6 years (2016 to 2021) professional career wasn't experienced enough and Awoniyi with 7 years (2015 to 2021) not good enough abi compared to Mba NPFL 8 years local football 2005 to 2012.....

Icon4s:
You are right egbon.

Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi (especially with Osimhen out) are TESTED enough to be invited for the AFCON.

You don't need any AFCON experience to excel at the AFCON. Besides, where experience (national team caps) counts more is in the defense. Over 90% of the 2013 AFCON winning squad were playing in the AFCON for the first time.

You get the best from forwards when they are still young and have a lot to prove.

Chief haha kilode....don't tell me it is naija economy o....man no dey see you again...well done baba.

Sonnobax15:

38 ?

But she looks younger and fresher than most under 15 girls in my area .

Well,when money dey, everything dey dey okay... whether you see food chop or not,you go dey fresh

Hbd Jackie

Look fresher than Under 15 girls? you must be joking...she is aging,forget the makeup.....pls anytime you have opportunity to see any celebrity just take a closer look....saw Iyabo Ojo recently and I said no wonder.

efighter:
He was never a godfather. There is no godfather that will lose all elective position to a "foreigner"

He lost the governorship seat for his stooge
He lost the 3 Senatorial seats.
He lost the 6 House of Reps seats.
He lost 39 out of 40 State Assembly seats. The only one he won was through the Court.

That isn't a godfather, but a goatfather.

By the time O'TOGE enter Lagos you go know what's up.

HAPPY SUNDAY my people...

zuchyblink:
WOW great talents at the end inexperience caught up with them

Let that national team experience caught up with the young ones too....take it to the bank Ighalo is no more needed in eagles again.

Isahalbash:
Tunisia 2004 I think...

Yes 2004 Afcon...Thanks for the correction and God bless you.

zuchyblink:
They can bench Onuachu and Moffi but not the tested three

Oga only Victor Osimehn is sure banker.

zuchyblink:
still below the tested three. As long as these three are still active,they must wait for their turn

Oga let's just wait for NFF decision on Rohr...if Rohr remain then your Ighalo is covered but with a new coach,my man you see Dennis,Awoniyi in the team

zuchyblink:
playing behind the striker and not as a point man. Remember that Dennis and Awoniyi are yet to get a shot on target in GWG and there is no guarantee that they will outperform the tested three

Shot on target?kai you are damn funny my man.....hope you remember how untested Julius Aghaowa shake 2000 Afcon abi you forget inexperience Osaze brace against South Africa at 2006 (modified 2004) Afcon...you supposed remember rookie Vincent Enyeama against England 2002 World Cup.

Oga Dennis am watching now is unplayable in GWG and Awoniyi has a role to play in GWG.This is their time my man.

zuchyblink:
I am not against any player but even if they make it I am sure they cannot bench the tested three

I know you don't hate but those guys are going to Afcon to play and not to watch...they will complement effort of the entire team.

zuchyblink:
My take on Dennis and Awoniyi is not about experience but for the fact that we have Osimehn Ighalo and Nacho still playing football and scoring,they MUST wait for their time

Oga Zuchy,you never disappoint...so Iheanacho and Osimehn have been added to your list....Oga Dennis and Awoniyi are making Afcon,this is their time.

Iyaebe:
Nasarawa and weird stories, Benue state too.These are places you'll get all the weird abominable sex stories. Tufia.Marry a Nasarawa or Benue man at your own peril.

Ha not only Nasarawa and Benue o...go to state of a governor who is deceiving himself that he wants to be president....na so so bleep up and down but their own be say dem no born person well to claim a child that belonged to him from another man....naso dem dey roll...open secret in a full glare.

Subzero047:
Na only picture I post o

Pictorial wahala...Oga abeg make we enjoy our players performances this weekend o....Ejuke dazzling and assist.....

Subzero047:

Kai you want to set this place on fire again with Messi faithfuls and CR7 fans abi.

Oga Subzero ...

yinkeys:
If the coach pairs them
We are winning Afcon bro.
Forget it
This team has the potential irrespective of goalie, defensive & coach related issues
If Osimhen continues the way he was playing
I don’t think anyone takes that number 9 shirt from him in the next 7 years

Chairman this your confidence no be here o....I love your zeal.

yinkeys:
Do you guys think Osimhen will make it?
This Eagles squad can actually win the Afcon
Especially if Dennis gets invited

Osimehn is recuperating faster,hope he make it...Dennis form would be a great boost to our Afcon.

daveP:
Can SE play a friendly game without Ndidi in the middle, to experiment something that would help in absence?


I'm saying this cos i remember that Ogenyi Onazi vs France injury, and how things fell apart. I'm sure anyone will understand my POV.

Baba all depends on a coach....I remember sometimes Muttiu stood in for Oliseh and surprisingly Garba Lawal stood in for Oliseh during Olympics semi final against Brazil.

Subzero047:
DrDoom3 never said he was not playing well, he had his reservation about his pressing and his stamina and I don't see anything wrong with that

Oga Sub, the post portrayed Awoniyi as a goal scorer that add nothing to the team,pls read the post again.

Danielnino00:
Instead of spending so much time on searching for a creative midfielder, why not just tweak the team to switch creativity from midfield..

Apart from Okocha, Nigeria has never really produced that many creative midfielders... Creative midfielders aren't really our thing...But you see the wings, that's our thing...Attacking from the flanks...It's our style..


Somebody suggested that we go the Liverpool way, and I support it... We have the players to make it work...
Aina is an attacking minded full back.. Zaidu isn't so bad going forward too..

Let's try a 4-3-3

Okoye

Aina
Akpogunma
Balogun
Zaidu


Ndidi
Onyeka
Aribo

Chukwueze
Osimhen
Ejuke



Ndidi as the DM, Onyeka as a RCM and Aribo as LCM...

It's much better than the conservative style Rohr is so in love with...

Oga we have pool of players that can fit into any formations but where is the coach.

12large1:
Any good reason why you cannot? Remember how makalele and Veira partnership for France? It was successful. Maybe, we can replicate similar feat between ndidi and frank

Large baba,you are right but do we have extra ordinary player in the midfield to cover up....pls can Aribo or Iwobi do the needful.

Subzero047:
Who is creating rivalry here if I may ask, the guy made an observation about Awoniyi's weaknesses una turn am from downplaying Awoniyi to creating rivalry, na wa for una for this thread

Sir,first question,what prompted that post....a goal against Leipzig and next was pressing issue,stamina,he has not done it in a big stage,comparison with Osimehn and Haaland.I think the timing of that comment lead to reactions,nothing more....no one created the rivalry but the original post.

Meliforme:
Why?

We need more creative in the midfield than choke the midfield with two DM irrespective of their style of play....unless we want to seal up a game.....like our match against Argentina at 2018 WC,someone like Onyeka would have seal the match for us by replacing Mikel or Etebo.
