Taiwo awoniyi can't stop scoring!!! See goall

Goals everywhere but na Ighalo be dem koko...walahi I no dey understand o...I never knew NFF and Rohr rate Ighalo o.

Paschal Karibe Ojibwe appointed Abia state Commissioner of Sports.

Hope una remember Karibe Ojigwe

Barryseal:
Kenneth Zeigbo played for Venezia in the 90s.

Yeah Kenneth Zeigbo of old Nepa fc of Lagos and Enugu Ranger....I asked that question cos I thought my junior brother was the first Nigerian to sign for Venezia,moved to Italy with Obagoal through Churchil Oliseh.

IDENNAA:
I haven't heard about Iwobi of late , not that I am a big fan , but has he been playing well ? Because we can't keep inviting playing struggling at club level or not getting match time ,but get handed a starting shirt based on previous performances.

I thought Iwobi had a good performance in his last match for eagles so with that is still a player that the likes of Amoo,Nwakili,Nwobodo according to your line up need to displace.

ChrisKels:
Aina isn’t a natural left back but he is more intelligent and performs better in that position than our LBs(both Zaidu and Collins)

Aina issue is one of my cross with Rohr...Aina on the left is better than Zaidu and Collins...imagine Ebuehi not getting invitation.

Ebuehi to the right while Aina to the left.

humility33:
I am telling u bro
Rohr and Pinnick

So bad that this generation of talents/players may not achieve or win any gold trophy prior they elapse....

Yes my fear

fabyom:
Aina and Sanusi having a good game! That Senegalese guy playing left-back for AC Milan, lacks pace and cannot tackle, I don't understand the hype around him! Tomori is a monster defender!

That poor boy Tomori would have settled our CB issue...he is the only FB that really pained me for choosing England over Nigeria.

ChrisKels:
Yea my brother. That boy is crap, no wonder he is a starter for lowly AC Milan while world class Jamil Collins plays for German giants Paderborn, and Zaidu Porto bench

Haha Chriskel una no go kill person for this thread.

Pls is Ebuehi the first Nigerian to play for Venezia cos I want to get something out.

do4luv14:
pls guyz who is this Robert F, in Venezia, is it what am thinking

Robert F is he a Nigerian or what.

TFLASHOGEE:
yes sir it is the responsibility of the coach and not pinnick but just like you mentioned Rorh is a simp and probably might be afraid saying it to the public him self to avoid backlashes from the people so pinnick spilling it out might not actually be his sole decision to bring back igahlo.

Yes not his sole responsibility but he should have allowed Rohr to do it....honestly I wasn't surprised cos I know much about national team player invitations and it takes highly disciplined coach to succeed in Nigeria.

Subzero047:
You are funny o, so if Pinnick's talks what crime did he commit and has Rohr explained any of his invitations to you before?

Bro I rest my case.

Subzero047:
FA bosses talk about players invitations and what they want no be Napoli president announce Osimhen before his club? The main koko be that the main decision on player invitations and recalls rests with Rohr

Gattuso made the move and presented his program which included signing of Osimehn which club faithfuls were aware before Napoli President came out openly.

Subzero047:
Abi na na Pinnick invite Akpoguma, Okoye and others

My man total different from Ighalo issue.

What am saying is simple Rohr should do the talking not Pinnick and he must tell us the reason why he must recall Ighalo.

Subzero047:
How would the coach go to the press and say he wants a player back what would it achieve, no be una say a coach should be discreet in his dealings

Subzero just agreed with my comment and let move on.

Pls tell me where you see any FA boss in Europe talking about players invitations talk less of a retired player.

My man it's solely responsibility of a coach not FA boss or whosoever.

Subzero047:
Pinnick cannot invite Ighalo without Rohr's permission no be Pinnick dey pick team and with Rohr's utterances he always liked Ighalo

I think it should be the responsibility of a coach to come out and make such statement that he wants Ighalo back not FA boss

Amaju Pinnick can't try such with Clemens Westerhoff,Bonfrere Jo even with Keshi and Oliseh.

Rohr to me look like simp.

Why are all these yeyebrities always end up in another woman's husband despite plenty bachelors wey full ground.

What i noticed is that Nigeria single guys no wan marry Olosho.

TFLASHOGEE:
did you expect him to sack the coach or disband an already assembled team that has already won the African championship and on course to do well at the world cup because if I mention clown now you will pick offense so what the use of the continuity you mentioned earlier if you won't give him credit for an achievement that happened under him as the head of the nff as at the time they won the tournament even the present administration in aso rock is taken Glory for project which was started and almost complited by their opposition,all in the name of continuity

My man easy on this CLOWN and pass your analytical views...am enjoying every bits of you and thegoodjoe analysis.

Sir,apart from Super eagles 2018 WC qualification and afcon 2019 bronze Pinnick Amaju has not done much for Nigeria football and football development is bigger than Super eagles.

I think his tenure has not run out so let's wait and see...

Napoleon55:
Rohr will still go AFCON with 3 or 4 mildfielders including iwobi as mildfielder

When he no dey craze.

soetanoreoluwa:
Exactly I saw that too however, they were both in camp during their under 17 days.

With a good coach both can be well utilized in either 352 or 442 formation.

Nope under 20 days.

I think everything depends on what Iheanacho brings to the table.

In form Iheanacho should partner Osimehn and bringing Awoniyi in would be great.We are just saying it,everything depends on Rohr formations.

I remember Yekini,Siasia and Amokachie were starters at US 94 and they gave us four goals.

Mujtahida:
Like the goodjoe says quality is the most important consideration. If an experienced player lacks the quality, he should give way. Tournaments are not won by the number of times the players have played at tournaments.

Thank you the Law.

soetanoreoluwa:
Awoniyi is going to partner Victor at the Qatar 2022 World Cup .

If the duo can keep the momentum good for eagles.

But I would have love Awoniyi on the bench coming in as a sub with another formation...after re watched Nigeria vs CAR second half i saw that synergy between Osimehn and Awoniyi,unfortunately we lost that match.

do4luv14:
not to mention a rookie Vincent Enyeama, that send Ike Shorunmu home to rest

funny enough a university coach name Adisa discovered Vincent Enyeama,Austin Ejide and Dele Aiyenugba.

Also discovered Seyi Olofinjana and ex polish international Emma Olisadebe.

Ex international Alloy Agu till date find it so difficult to give us a keeper in NPFL just to complement the efforts of foreign based keepers.

AFCON now 28 man list

...enough room to pick good players,no room for failure especially from national teams like Nigeria,Algeria,Morocco,Egypt,Tunisia,Senegal and Cote d'voire.

googlepikins:
Ok

How person(Buhari)go to dey launch wetin he(Buhari) no understands

Melvinity:
See rookie like Mba that gave us the winning goal (Individual brilliancy) against Ivc and the winning goal against Burkina! There is nothing like rookies.... Their club is their exposure

Thank you my bro....

I have been watching eagles since Afcon 1980 and I think I should be in a position to say it as regards experience and rookies.

What most coaches are after is quality of a team and the only way out is to file out your best players regardless of their age.

Sunday Oliseh came into eagles in 1993 and sent out experienced Friday Ekpo from the team.

Austin Okocha came in 1993 and cemented his place in the team.

Finidi George a rookie was a used sub replaced misfiring Austin Eguavoen against Burkina Faso and made three assists.

Ajibade Babalade was a rookie who shown brilliantly in Senegal 92.

Emma Amuneke was a rookie and did well at Tunisia 94 in just a match,scoring a brace.

Vincent Enyeama a rookie from NPFL made one of the best save at 2002 WC against England and retired Shorunmu.

Sunday Mba a rookie gave us Afcon 2013 and rookies Omeruo and Oboboana sent experienced Yobo to the bench.

Keshi a rookie and a captain with his set of rookies were wonderful at Ivory Coast Afcon 1984.

Clemens Westerhoff went to Algiers 1990 with rookies and did well.

zuchyblink:
I am not against the selection of rookies and inexperienced players,there should be experienced players to guide them. Imagine our 2013 squad without Enyeama and Mikel

...okay imagine that team without rookie Sunday Mba and Oboboana.

TFLASHOGEE:
good compilation and worth of a 5 Star mention but that thing you are thinking might actually be a castle in the air if Iheanacho doesn't believe in him self like Salah and put on the hard work and improvement Salah did to get to this stage in his career

Iheanacho attaining Sallah level a pipe dream.

Sallah left Chelsea and moved to Italy to rediscover himself.

Osimehn moved from Wolfsburg to lowly Belgium club not to talk of the league to shake things up.

But Iheanacho preferred playing second fiddle in Leicester city....

humility33:
Pinnick knows nothing about football and team tactics

He is just good in politics

Such a shame we've allowed politicians to run our sports

Lols tactics...humility u no go kill person here o....we just need a good administrator to run our football but Pinnick is more ambitious about CAF and FIFA seat than developing the game in Nigeria and he is having his way.
