Icon4s:
You don't get my point

They raised questions about Iwobi's effectiveness from the wings. I explained that even at that his level of effectiveness or ineffectiveness which ever way you look at it, he is better than either Musa or Simon.

OK Sir

Mujtahida:
hahahaha Baba you make me laugh with your gbam. but the thing dey always pain me when i see iwobi being played from the wings. it dey scatter my dada.

Don't let it scatter your dada cos we have Mikel doing it better.

asha80:
he is the very mobile type that runs round the midfield breaking up opponent play and getting stuck in tackles.a but like a gattuso type player. he does not strike me like the type the plays his best just sitting in from of the defence a la makalele

Yes you are right but this is national team where every player must play to coach instructions strictly.

He just need to sit in front of defence cos we have Onazi,Etebo,Ogu and Joel who are good CM.

Icon4s:
Even in his ineffectiveness he is more effective than Simon and Musa.

No Sir,ineffective Iwobi is not better than Musa and Simeon cos i saw ineffective Iwobi against Algeria in Uyo.

asha80:
still not convinced about ndidi played as the defensive midfielder just in front of the defence line

Why

Icon4s:
We know all those.

The question is who is Rohr's first choice as a winger between Iwobi and Simon?

It's Iwobi,against Poland and Serbia he was Rohr"s choice with Simeon on the bench.

Mujtahida:
watch his latest interview which i posted where the young man said that he prefers playing behind the striker or as a ten or false nine. playing him from the wings is as a result of poverty of imagination. i swear. in the real sense he is not even a winger. for him to play in the middle they say he lacks vision but vision was precisely what the others interviewed(his uncle and two others- jay jay's former team mate at bolton and the other was assistant to alladyce at bolton) in that video said was one of his good qualities. its just that Mikel is there. against argentina he operated from the wings but he was used as false nine in that match. all his goals for us has come from the middle. how about that for effectiveness.

GBAM Mikel is there,EOD.

tbaba1234:
Iheanacho scored 2 goals in training today.

Ighalo scored 1 for the opposing team.

Pls full update

Martz101:
not a player will be giving such preference even with his stats, even when the big money Chinese club started spending big, his agent got him Teda deal after not doing so good in wesbrom.

players like emenike and co wan chop china money too na

Mikel got him the deal and he even confirmed it after good performance in Greece league not westbrom.

Joebie:
With respect to the players in the team, I can mention some monikers that you can hardly tell where they are from based on their utterances as regards player selection etc.. what makes you a tribalist is the the behavior that stems from that strong loyalty to your tribe, not the loyalty itself, or as it is in your definition, an advocate or practitioner. I want players from my social group to do well (and that's not advocacy). However, if they are not measuring up I will say it as it is. So how am I tribalistic? Just say your are a tribalist and stop trying to rope everyone in. Where are you from by the way, so we can mark you.

Pls let's end this tribal stuff it makes the thread sick.

Joebie see what your joke don caused.Now trending in sports section that Nwakili has been invited to main team.

Remember i said what we post here matter cos a lot see this thread as first class when it cones to info on Super eagles.

tbaba1234:
Chidi Nwanu and Emenalo did not fail us.

OK let me use newbie gatecrasher cos Emenalo and Chidi are not,Emenalo had his debut in 1985 and Chidi 1988.

Humility017:
I will.agree with lokosa but simmy form of late in Italy and considering the fact that rohr rates the Italian league high.... you know rohr was once a defender..... many good defenders and strikers know what obtained in serie A. rutheles and good defenders but still simmy manage score good goals in those late matches...

simmy is not a bad addition at all..
he deserve to be there.....

Good addition if he live up to billing cos his stats not really encouraging as a striker but hope to see him bringing the late form of Serbia A to eagles.

Icon4s:
And what if Simy performs creditably well in the game against England?

I know his chance is slim. But nothing is certain yet.

If he make it,now left for Rohr to decide who to drop,it's simple.

Humility017:
I wanted iwobi be kept for this....
he can as well come in for mikel in the second half....

So you expect Mikel to be subbed off in 2nd half in every match.

I think if Mikel is not available then Iwobi can do it cos am seeing Iwobi starting from his right position with Mikel as AM.

asha80:
siasia could string good passes..can anyone of the present ones apart from mikel in the midfield do that?

That's why i said Rohr formation should do it or are we saying tactically Rohr is zero.

Icon4s:
Uyo to PH is quite a distance.

But thank God the East - West road is almost completed on that axis.

Gonna be fun for guys and with good security cos Nigeria tense now o make herdsmen no attack our boys o

Humility017:
who will now deputize mikel.in the midfield.... .?

Rohr formation should settle it cos Westerhoff was able to do it without Okocha at US 94 in the group stage,preferred Samson Siasia.

safarigirl:
Osaze gatecrashed 4 years ago, and he didn't fail us

Osaze was an established player in eagles and we all know what he can do.

Mike Emenalo and Chidi Nwanu also gatecrashed 94 team but they have good experience with eagles

But can we say the same thing about Batholomew Ogbeche,Sam Sodje,Uche Nwofor,Michael Uchebo,Shola Ameobi

Goke7:
Hope juju is not at work here? We no wan hear orisirisiri o

Haba oga Goke juju ke

tbaba1234:
I do not think, we will have a fitness problem.

Ndidi is expected to play a few minutes against England and perhaps more against Czech Republic. By the time the first match comes, he will be fully fit.

Ekong will play the England match.

Ndidi should rest against England.

Humility017:
you know rohr can't take over 2 unfit players to the world cup....
how he recuperate fast will tell if he will make the list....

why rohr can manage ndidi and ekong because of their usefulness to the team...
same can't easily be said of moses Simon...he is not even a starter. so gonna be an easy decision for rohr to make.

Any player with injury should not make it irrespective of his stand in the team.

Mikel and Echiejile failed to make it in 2010 and 2014 cos of injury.

I remember how injured Daniel Amokachie and Emma Amuneke were forced to appeared in France 98 and Atlanta 96 respective.

Even Ndidi injury situation should be managed very well cos am seeing us rushing the young man and better to avoid a scenario of Ebuehi aggravated groin injury.

Humility017:
and should him get to score a brace against the 3 lions it means the dude is the most lucky super eagles player to make the list...

I will be so happy for him...
hey. ....what if lokosa do excellently well against DR Congo?

Chairman let's wait and see cos gatecrashers always failed us.

This is the reason am not happy about Ideye,Kayode and Oyekwuru clubs situation and injury cos they are better than Lokosa and Simy.

tbaba1234:
Simon moses will be getting a scan in Port Harcourr to ascertain the seriousness of his injury.

Kai WC is near o.

tbaba1234:
Rohr said that Simy and Lokosa will get their first cap against DRC.

Thank you for the clarification.

Icon4s:
Joel will likely make it Russia. Once Agu and Agbo have been dropped I don't see Rohr dropping another midfielder. Simy is up against a defender.

Sir between Simy and Joel cos Rohr is going to WC with 8 defenders but if i have my way i will pick Joel Obi.

I'm okay with Ighalo, Iheanacho and possibly Musa as CF and we should know that the new SE doesn't depends on arrow head CF to score,our qualifiers and friendlies is a testimony that we don't depend on CF.

solonnachi:
I will seriously feel for Ola Aina if he is dropped.

Oh only Aina and what of others likely to be dropped.

The issue of Aina is simple,he had Idowu and Echiejile to contend with,the camp performance should decide.

elyte89:
Baba no worry,let's bet...5,5naira echiejile dey go

Elyte did you read my comment very well.This is not issue of betting but Echiejile making it depends on performance not automatic as you want me to believe cos he has been displaced by Idowu,so that assurance should not arise unless Rohr told you Echiejile is going no matter his performance.

Amedino99:
i think that by fifa rules simy is ineligible for this match or is the rule not that too important?

Honestly i cannot say but i think if Simy decide to play then no issue.

CC:tbaba1234.. pls is simy Nwankwo eligible for DR Congo match.

elyte89:
Boss echiejile is going,


I knw u no want am...but is seat on d plane to Russia is as sure as tmao been a Sunday.Quote me when dey release d final 23man list

Oga mi am talking football and view it on what is on ground and not on sentimental level.

Pls answer this question, who was our LB during qualifiers? Echiejile right

Now who is our LB? Idowu abi

Did you asked yourself why?

Against Poland Echiejile was on the bench abi and Idowu started

Against Serbia Idowu was subbed off for who?Aina and Echiejile was on the bench,pls meaning what as football pundits?

Hope you are following what is going on in the camp right, Idowu and Aina are ahead

Echiejile need camp performance and may be friendly to make the team

Sir this is not issue of experience but performance.

If he makes it good meaning he is better no sentiment.

Mujtahida:
I think Moses will make it. Aina I'm not too sure.

Here goes my five:Lokosa, Eze, Ajiboye, Aina and Agu.

What will make Aina and Simeon Moses lose out is camp performance and friendlies.

isan:
Idowu can use right also..why is rorh smirking at his back

Idowu is a right footer and do play RB for his club just like Aina even Ebuehi is damn comfortable as LB cos i remember watching him playing for Ado Hagen against Mainz in friendly.

If we want to base it on versatility then Echiejile is out but Rohr is a coach and his decision must be respected on who ever he picked.

OMANBALA1:
Rohr is using Aina as a left back and that is not favorable to him because is is competing with 2 natural left footers

It should not be about two natural left footers but performance but we have only Echiejile as natural left footer.

Honestly if not for lose of form i will picked Echiejile over Aina and Idowu but not getting playing time in Turkey and later Belgium 2nd division not damn good.
