We need to quit over reliance on foreign born players for the national team. Let’s give our homegrown players confidence and self esteem and be professional. We can win world cup with them. Rest in power Keshi

Hmmm if Osho na local boy na bribery allegations go full here.... Taminu better pass Osho😀

9JAMac10:
I prefer Osimhen to lookmAn. No Osimhen no goal for Nigeria

Afcon 2023 say hi.Pls lets stop this comparison.... Osimhen is our goal getter anytime anyday.... but fact Lookman has been the best since Afcon. Oh! Just cuz of Benin match you suddenly forgot Lookman who was denied two goals against Rwanda and Libya.

TheSuperNerd:
Alex Iwobi is surely a mainstay in the Super Eagles midfield but today saw him drop probably one of his worse GWG performances. Iwobi struggled to be incisive and looked leggy in his distribution at times.

He completed 30 passes out of 39 attempted in 72mins of play.

Raphael Onyedika came in at half time and completed the same number of passes (30) out of 36 in lesser time than it took Iwobi. And his passes were mostly purposeful recycles, top distributive and switch plays-effective.

What am I saying? Not that Iwobi needs be replaced by Onyedika. Absolutely not.

But that a metronomic middle game figure like Onyedika should not be left on the bloody bench when he holds the key to how our middle game operates and how our transitions and switchplays happen.

Onyedika should be playing alongside Iwobi and one more midfielder for proper middle game balance that perfectly places our fingers on the trigger of our attacking weapons.

Iwobi, our creative outlet was underpar but thank God for the Metronomic outlet in Onyedika who came in and got our midfield wheels working effectively again.

Onyedika need to replace Iwobi.... AE should give us Onyeka-Onyedika-Bashiru

Starboytwo:
I will follow elder KOG on this one. Boniface never play kobo for us.. Him still dey play.

Imagine Boniface never score a goal for us but he don sealed second striker position... Dessers is not good enough cuz he is playing in Scottish league? but Leverkussen wonder is always getting the immunity and fans are waiting for his goals,even Osimhen is not enjoying such immunity.

My cross with Boniface is that he does not see it as a big deal

Truidstarr:
We only hype players with a bright future.

Oya compare compare Nwakali and Lookman hype here before Afcon 2023....since na players with bright future we dey hype😊

Don Jazzy should just keep qiuet,person wey no get wife at 40 plus dey talk DNA

Bannedlargejr:
All these backwater league players? Why couldn’t they prove their self at the big 3??

I'm seeing Balogun or Omeruo coming back if Osho failed to impress cuz Ajayi is out.... What of Igbu...

Baba, na only you fit sabi these granpapas....lol

That is Moses Kpakor ex international now a lecturer at Benue State University.He has Bachelor,master and Phd in physical education.

Name this ex international

daveP:
Fact is Dessers deserve a call up. If bias fon enter this thing, it becomes a basis tomorrow for another stale argument which keeps on adding more nonsense. It is a different thing if he isn't in form. Form is key. I dunno why this simple thing has to generate brouhaha. It will be a much better pov if we say AE doesn't fancy him than all this league this, league that angle used abeg. Ya using SE show up for Nacho, but Chuks has never showed up this entire year yet he keeps getting invites aspa AC Milan or what? Abegi. Let's be honest here.

👍👍👍

mekabuachi:
Call this call that... What sha it profit a coach to call up everybody and still lose match
AE so far has been impressive with his games and even substitution
Make una allow coach to do e work

This thread is predominantly to discuss eagles so nothing wrong talking about the team list,yes there are questionable invites and from time immemorial it has been like that whether na local or foreign coaches

yinkeys:
Tbh there’s bias when local coaches are in charge
They’re trying to keep some of the guys that played u17 for Nigeria
Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Chukwueze, Osimhen to be specific
You may be right, some guys may not be called up unless they get a European/foreign manager who would minimize sentiments when enlisting players
I won’t be shocked if a foreigner drops Troost Ekong, but NFF will fight for his position

Umar Sadiq & Victor Olawoyin are the players I don’t think deserve to be invited
I don’t see any issue with the other names
Dele Bashiru has not been playing regularly for Lazio but he’s earned his spot based on South Africa & Libya games

Hmmm local coaches?Keshi convinced Balogun,Ekong,Ikeme,Hope Akpan….Siasia gave Iwobi and Anichebe needed opportunities….Bashiru got it rolling under local coach…Semi Ajayi made it through John Obuh…..local coach would have given Eberechi Eze eagles debut that Rohr messed up.

Obaseki get ball pass fake white lion Yahaya Bello

Subzerooo:
This stat is not impressive sha, considering he's playing in the Scottish league

Sir you remember we do have then Balogun,Aribo and Bassey from Scottish league in our starting eleven.

Are you saying Sadiq,Awoniyi and Iheanacho do deserves eagles call ups than Dessers at the moment

zicky:
See that part of his neck you hold, hold tight 😂. Na double standard, once Nigerians fans no rate you, you go explain taya

I Dey wait for Yinkeys response…..sincerely I don’t rate Dessers but telling me he does not deserves eagles based on Scottish league football then he missed it….he brought Arokodare to the discussion but forgot that Onyedika is playing in Belgian league.

National team invitations are not only meant for EPL,la liga,Seria A,bundesliga and Ligue 1

yinkeys:
Belgian league > Scottish league
So Tolu probably should’ve been invited

I thought Onyedika is playing in Belgian league…..Osimhen scored in Europa yesterday and Dessers scored where?….I remembered Balogun Aribo and Bassey do get call up then playing in the same Scottish league?

yinkeys:
Boy won German league (top 5 league)
He’s a regular starter for his club
In fact he plays in a better league than the one Osimhen plays for at the moment

Ok then Ahmed Musa deserves a call up too

Oga am talking eagles here not Leverkussen…..how many goals has he scored for eagles or assist…..mind you I rate him highly but my focal point is eagles……no goal yet but he has sealed second choice striker position?

He need to come to the party or else he will lose the immunity of Leverkussen performance

yinkeys:
Cyril Dessers PR team dey this thread
Iheanacho is an asset to the Eagles whether you like it or not
Boy contributes when called up
Before Afcon 2021, people said same about Iheanacho until he showed up against Egypt
So this is no news to me

I don’t rate Dessers but there is no need to bend the rules….Dessers deserves call up based on his performance

yinkeys:
Competition in that position is really high
Moffi, Awoniyi, Arokodare, Orban, Sadiq, Onuachu etc are all fighting for 3rd choice striker
Osimhen & Boniface have sealed their spots
Scottish league ain’t that competitive though

Pls tell us how Boniface sealed 2nd choice striker…..no goal for eagles yet and has not done anything remarkable so far with eagles even with assist…….he should just thank his star that players like Moffi,Sodiq and Awoniyi are in and out with injuries….Apart from Osimhen no one is guaranteed 2nd choice striker…..Scottish league competitive or not Dessers deserve a call up.

humility33:
Imagine and AE called up Nasarawa United player instead

I don taya for indigenous coaches and their wahala

Nasarawa United player no be ball him Dey play…..abeg Oga humility easy nau…

TheGoodJoe:
Simple. Don't get too excited because our team is exhausted. Simple point.

Exhaustion for what?

Why are we so engrossed with anything foreign that we all forgot our roots….charity begin at home,really surprised that none of us reported a tragedy that befell NPFL recently,former Sporting Lagos keeper now with El kanemi Agbor Ekoi lost his life in a fatal accident…..RIP AGBOR EKOI

TheGoodJoe:
Our team is clearly exhausted. If you watch our game against Iraola of Bournemouth, it was the same thing. Not saying that Amorim is not exceptional but this game could be deceiving. Imagine in such game and we started a champions League debutant in Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. An 18-year-old. That will tell you the true story of things.

If the game had favored man city you would have said man city academy is producing good guys in Jahmai….joe baba no excuses

elyte89:
Aina grew better in d game unfortunately he’s not a gk ,so we might not enjoy dis new Aina for a very long time in football career..


B4 ainas bane was easy loss of concentration during games resulting to costly errors

It is this your last paragraph una used nailed Aina then….if not for his talent and hardworking Aina would have been ex International…..even as at then Ebuehi and Idowu are not better…..imagine Rohr even preferred Shehu.

chrisooblog:
Aina has worked hard to complement his talent.

I rated Ebuehi but injuries did him bad. Idowu na one hit wonder.

……you are right

Forget FFK bla bla….person no Dey get childhood lover ni abi she dated FFK as married woman? Bianca enjoy your new office and run away from Balthazar in government 😍

BankyGee:
Ola Aina makes the Sofascore's Premier League Team of the Week
🆚 West Ham:

🥾 62 touches
🥍 31/34 accurate passes (91%)
🗝️ 1 key pass
🪄 1/2 dribbles completed (50%)
❌ 1 interception
🥷🏾 4 tackles
💪🏾 5/7 ground duels won (71%)
✈️ 1/1 aerial duel won (100%)
⚽ 1 goal scored from 1 shot on target 🎯 (100% accuracy)

Where dem Ebuehi and Idowu….that Argentina friendly performance na real fluke,even as at that time they are not better than Aina but football sometimes just happens

AndSunGorilla:
Not on my radar sir. Just reporting that he has been doing well in the NPFL. Would be great if our other superstars can do the same in the twilight of their careers.

👍👍👍

Hotepking:
Una don start to dey run agenda now for Musa, next thing we will start to see you people pushing for him to be in the national team

Agenda? nothing bad in what Andsun put up on Musa….Musa deserves it

elyte89:
He didn’t have a good time at Leicester city

He did with 26 matches and 6 goals in a season on loan
