Why is Chukwueze showing no discipline and shooting wildly.

He should be looking to pass and create an opportunity as opposed to seeking selfish glory in a wide off the mark shot.

andrewbaba44:
Awaziem haven’t done badly for the eagles

He did well as a RB for us remember?

Using what standard.

For me he is poor as a RB and poor as a CB.

After two seasons in more competitive leagues La Liga and French league one, he found no interest in his talents he has gone to a poor mediocre club in the Portuguese league.

Karlovich:
Patrick Owomoyela committed to Nigeria, during the process of acquiring a passport he was called up by Rudi Völler and that was the end of it. Komekn has been told the reason it takes longer for English born players but he's still doubting, it took more than a year for Emmanuel Frimpong to switch to Ghana, he should just chill

Told by whom the English FA or FIFA ❓

I have already put paid to that nonsensical proposition without any iota of substance.

jihday:
Lies from the pit of hell

You must be very familiar with HELL for you to come to that conclusion.

Unfortunately, l have no satanic associations to agree with you.

Utonwanne:
We got Aina right from EPL and he has been average!

Actually in the AFCON he was our best defender and he did not play all games. Yet was better than all the other defenders.

If we agree he is average, what does that make Awaziem's, Collins etc ❓

barackodam:
Lookman switch is ongoing
Ejaria switch is ongoing
We're toasting Eze, albeit he's doing shakara.
We have Aribo and Iwobi.


But komekn want us to turn Super Eagles to 3 Lions 2.0, by inviting every English player eligible. Even if there are better dual nationality players.

Iorfa is a beastly player, but has played all his career in lower leagues.

Yet, Komekn is beefing that we're inviting German players at the behest of his favorite English players.

See boss, we can't have them all. There are dual nationality players that will never play for any national team. That's just the truth.

Yoruba will say, "wọn rii ibi wa si England"

We have other countries up for grabs also, you can't expect us to be flirting with only English players, who by the way, mostly use us to do shakara. But that's not the point. There are Nigerians all over Europe, begging to be capped, that won't even do shakara. But you're always particular about English players alone.

Ah, tranquilo hermano, tranquilo

The number of Nigerians in the UK legal and illegal as well is probably close to 2 million.

There is an overwhelming number of our people here. To buttress my point look at considerable crowd demonstrating to the End SARS in London.

Which Nigerian major Church, media company, Bank , etc doesn't have a branch office in London❓ l wonder why

What I QUESTIONED was the blatant double standard and hypocrisy in fast tracking Akpoguma. A player who made public that he was not interested in playing for the SE consistently and continously over several years changed his mind and in a few weeks he is in the SE.

Then we have Ovie, and yes if you like get angry and say l am telling LIES. l have spoken to him and near three years ago he made a commitment. The same followed for Ademola. We could also say the same with Eze.

So for how many years does it take to meet the FIFA requirements for change of allegiance.

Then one German commits and within weeks he is playing for the SE. That is my issue, FAVORITISM

Don't twist issues with your hidden agenda, my position is very clear.

Finally, l talk about UK Nigerians because first of all I am one. Secondly, l know a lot of these boys watched them training at matches, youth games and senior games l know their coaches, their agents, etc

So I don't rely on the media and hearsay , l also know the ones Rohr visited and the promises made that we are still waiting to be fulfilled.

barackodam:
I agree you don't need it. But if you truly don't, you wouldn't be constantly reminding us that you have unfiltered access to academies in UK, that you know most top scouts, and that you know the ins and outs of UK football.

Someone who says all those, constantly, is sure looking for recognition

You know when you drive a Mercedes-Benz GLE63 AMG, you put on a pair of sunglasses and push the seat right right back, because that's your preferred comfort position.

And you are nodding your head to the beat and very happy to be in Nigeria and away from the cold damp inhospitable Streets of England. You don't even have to worry about speed cameras.

Some people will consider it " No long ting " some other will turn red with anger and say " he is posing " others will go green with envy and say " Eéeeeeee tink say e beta pass us"

You comments are a reflection of yourself and your own perceptions and not my actions. In reality i could say a lot more but to what purpose.

All these things I talk about are absolutely mundane to me and near everyday experience they are ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SPECIAL to me and many of my associates and even to some people here.

But to you it seems a big deal, can l ask why.

chrisooblog:
Onyedinma has been mentioned a million times by komekn. If the national team's technical crew is deliberately ignoring Onyedinma why haven't the 'unbiased' England football club system noticed his 'talent'?

Like you i'm tired of this diversionary tactic of bringing up Nwakali's name to cover up his bias.

Actually i had not talked about Onyedinma for almost two seasons.

I then talked about him when he almost single handedly dragged his team Wycombe Wanderers to the Championship this season. He was given multiple accolades.

At Millwall he was also outstanding before falling out with the Manager.

Now in comparison what has Nwakali done in the past 5 years. How many top clubs have shown interest in Nwakali.

Onyedinma turned down opportunities to go to QPR and Watford two seasons ago.

elunico:
Many of us don't watch league 1, only you do. I've seen Onyedinma once or twice at Millwall, nothing special.

At least, oforboh has an appearance in the EPL.

What has Onyedinma done this season thus far? Has e done better than Oforboh?

How many people are singing Nwakali praises here? [b] They are not up to 5, I've never been one of them, I don't rate him and I don't expect him to be in our team anytime soon.[/b]

Correction Onyedinma is in the Championship and was in the Championship with Millwall before a bitter disagreement with Neil made him refuse to play for Millwall.

He won his first MOTM playing as a teenager in the Championship.

It seems Nwakali has majority support here buy for doing NUTTIN.

Edopesin:
The word "Outplay" has certainly lost its meaning. Both teams were terrible but one was lucky enough to get a goal.

We were in no way "Outplayed"

Onuachu played well and any other striker of his stature and in his position wouldn't have done more than he did.

We had no midfield, they were as flat as a pancake devoid of any inventiveness.

Algeria were not sensational but considerably better than us although not up to the levels we know they can reach.

The reality is even if Osimhen played I don't see any major difference. He would have been starved of service.

How is it that basic crossing our wingbacks and wingers, just don't seem to know how to do.

Karlovich:
I agree with you regarding Nwakali at the same time Onyedinma is below average, his club has lost all their games so far this season with him not getting good ratings in the games he played in. Oforboh probably won't be called up as well as he hasn't done enough to warrant a call up. Benrhama is a lion in the championship and is on the verge of joining West Ham.

Agreed without reservation with the bold.

I agree that Onyedinma has not been outstanding and his team look like immediate candidates for relegation.

But we did not say Etebo is not good when he couldn't make any consistent head way in the Championship.

andrewbaba44:
But wait o this torunariagha has only played 18 league games for 3 seasons

or Is there something I don’t know ?

Just the normal bigoted hypocritical double-standard being shamelessly played out as usual here.

Tell me how this guy in fact all the German born Nigerian defenders are better than Adarabioyo and Iorfa please.

Oh they play in the Bundesliga thar automatically equates to outstanding.

barackodam:
You amaze me, overly. So, championship is the yardstick for super eagles call-up?

Nobody suggested that but you presumed that, l do not know where from.

If we can have players from the back waters of European football, invited to the SE. Why not the Championship ❓

Using Etebo as a benchmark arguably our best Midfielder in the World cup and Afcon. Playing for Stoke he has been unable to be outstanding in the Championship. However, Ovie, Olise,
Tega Onomah, Eze have been stand out players in the championship leaving Etebo behind.

It is reasonable to presume therefore that if these Nigerian origin players were given opportunity in the SE. They may perfom as good or even better.

I will remind you that Aribo was essentially an English league one player when he came to the SE. And he immediately was outstanding.

barackodam:
Komekn only promotes England players.
As e dey so, even himself knows, Eze has to play for Nigeria, or else his reputation is buried(he has a dead reputation already)

Bruv it's not that deep.

Do you think I need the recognition of a faceless forum. What will it add to me or take away NUTTIN.

andrewbaba44:
Bia respect your self

You better cut that guy some slack and I hope no be him go be your new scape goat as jamilu Collins then

When people talk about a player with all kinds of accolades. It creates expectations, sometimes great Expectations.

Unfortunately none of those expectations were met in that game.

After that game l wonder if our FIFA ratings have gone up or down.

Bolowolowo:
I'm not even sure about this. Algeria played very poorly as well - we were just much worse. Too many misplaced passes. Even their fans were severely disappointed on Reddit and Twitter.

Actually l agree, Algeria were not as fluid as they usually are, and were poor by their standards.

But we were much poorer, where does that leave us in the ratings of poor, poorer and or poorest SE perfomances.

elunico:
Why do you think Oforboh is rated higher than Onyedinma here on this thread?

Apart from myself has anybody mentioned Onyedinma

That's my simplistic rational.

But look at the amount of never ending accolades that got too Nwakali.

Subzero047:
Yea and Zaidu Sanusi is a good addition to the left back depth

I watched Sanusi with great Expectations a lot has been said about him here.

But he completely failed to live up to the billing, he is fast. But beyond that technically poor.

Maybe l expected too much, l did not see one good cross from him.

Subzero047:
What did we even learn from the Algeria match?

That our players are just ordinary.

Algeria was not at full strength too and we were not just beaten but TOTALLY outplayed and to be honest mediocre.

Onuachu has been blamed a lot by some here as the main culprit. But what is the point of having a man mountain striker and nobody could cross the ball with precision.

The midfield we had was totally inept although the perfomance was just very poor.

JayromWrites:
Chidera Ejuke passed MRI, is official age is 22 but i choose not to talk


This MRI thing ehn.. E b things

The truth is, there i no local bred Nigerian playing professional football in europe that didn't falsify his age

No not one

If you are born in Nigeria, you are already 3-4 years behind in development.. The things this borough guys learn at 10, we learn in the street at 15

Nobody wants to hear that here.

We will rather lie to ourselves and dwell in delusion.

Karlovich:
I'm not in support of Nwakali returning to the eagles, he hasn't done much at Huesca the same with Onyedimma. Onomah is crap. Future potentioal call ups mustn't be from England

Onyedinma was not wise became emotive at Millwall and declined a move to Watford and QPR.

Then things changed and got so bad with his manager Neill a quintessential kick and rush football manager.

Fred refused to play at Millwall and left to league one.

Fast forward he was the key player that engineered thier promotion to the Championship.

What has Nwakali done beyond youth football and struggling to get on the bench at both Porto youth team and Huesca. For the past 5 years.

In this regards Onyedinma has done way more past, present and continous. But we will never hear people talking about them here non stop.

People talk about Nnamdi Oforboh as a prospect when both of them played at Wycombe, Fred Onyedinma was considerably better and way ahead of Oforboh. But nobody talks about hi

But this is the double standard prevalent across this discourse.

Benrhama who played against us and was running circles around our midfield is actually a Championship player.

Bolowolowo:
Have those guys indicated interest in playing with us. I know that Ejaria trained with our age grade teams a while back.

Ovie 100% has been waiting for over 2/3 years and l have no doubts about Tega and Eze, l do believe Olise will NOW be found amiable to the suggestion.

Icon79:
Omo, he has to use what he got. With Ndidi, Etebo, and Aribo all unavailable, what do you expect him to do? How you ever considered that maybe our team is NOT as talented or as deep as we tend to think it is?

In the 1994 team, we had a very deep bench. The same cannot be said if this team. We simply don’t have enough talent in every position. You can’t blame Rohr for that deficiency, the right players are simply not there. If they exist, we should them showing it at their clubs.


O pari

He should have brought in new players and seen what they can do.

Danielnino00:
Only Ejaria...

Eze isn't interested in playing for us..he said it himself in his podcast..
Onomah has been playing rubbish so far...he isn't good enough yet....

But Nwakali is abe.

Double standard bigoted hypocrisy.

When Etebo was unable to hold down a shirt in the Championship. He was as much as l like him left in the dark by perfomances by , Reading FC teenager Olise, as well as Eze, Ovie and Tega Onomah.

This is the same Etebo regarded by many as our best midfielder, me included.

What then do you think would happen if these Nigerian origin players were given the same opportunity to play for Nigeria, who are much better at club level than him.

kellycute:
please don't ever mention onomah again. Why are you insulting super eagles?

Double standard, hypocritical bigotry .

If so many can mention Nwakali who has done ABSOLUTELY nothing in the last five years.

You really can not say anything.

In reality Nwakali can not even measure up to Fred Onyedinma who was pivotal in bringing his team Wycombe Wanderers to the Championship.

Bolowolowo:
Since our midfield is lacking, Rohr has no choice but to invite Nwakali and Azeez during the next break. There's no reason to omit them considering our lack of depth in that department.

He has the choice of Tega Onomah , Ovie, Olise and Eze.

Nwakali has done NUTTIN.

elunico:
Lose concentration and then, the team concedes a stupid goal right?

I want Aina out of the team.

On what basis.

The best Nigerian defender at the last AFCON.

AIG07:
Sometimes you just have to marvel at how far Nigerians can go to defend mediocrity.

There is this culture with Nigeria fans. They will do everything possible to defend their own(a player that comes from their state/LG).

Me can't wait to have Victor Osihmen, Joe Aribo, Wilfred Ndidi back to the team.

Position still up for grab
ST back up
LW
RW
AM back up
CM Back up
DM Back up


Rohr and Yobo have a lot to do.

Onuachu, Iheanacho, Chukwueze(he was totally disinterested in the match), Kalu, Musa, Agu etc are not players a sane coach can bank on.

If yesterday match was a must win one, that would have been the result.

If you think It's just a friendly, I'll suggest you go watch Turkey VS Germany.

There is no acceptable excuse for that showing.

Agreed without reservation but one question ❓

Is that the best team that we could put together considering the number of potential players we have across Europe.

Toju200:
This will be my last post on this Tucano and wing Loong issue..
We're here to learn right so nobody's forming I too know.
I'm not against the Wing Loong drones of course we do need drones.but 50 drones to do what bro I'm still curious if they can be deployed In swarms,bec because I don't see why we'll buy 50 wing Loong for $500mil(According to you) dude you've not even looked at the Cost of maintenance,Weaponry, Training of pilots, Training of maintenance crew, Spares e.t.c
You just budgeted 50 drones without with the whole money without looking at other things .
Now look at What the $400+mil covers for the Tucano deal
1.12 Aircraft
2.Spare Parts
3.Training of pilots
4.Training Maintenance crew
5.Large amount of Weapons for both training and actual combat
6.New Facility for The Aircrafts at ACTG niger state( They will still pay contractors building it o )
7.Flight stimulator

Now the Tucano is a beast compared to the Wing Loong agreed?
There are a lot the Tucano has to offer than Wing Loong better still we still need the drones They're unique in the very own way
The only problem we're having is the delivery date.



I think I'm done with the Tucano debate.
Others should share ideas naw.why is it only me and Chairman here

50 Wing Loong II UAV's will cost about £$50 million additional armaments precision weaponry and ATGM another 10 million.

I dont make assumptive opinions based on emotional sentiments. l will substantiate my opinion and or deduction, in addition l don't anchor my opinion on somebody else's. With regards to the bold how did you arrive at that deduction ❓

Months ago l substantiated my deduction with comparative analysis. With regards to the A29 being vastly overpriced.

I am concerned with the HERE and NOW, because too many Nigerian combatants who are peoples sons, fathers, brothers, uncles friends have died needlessly.

The lives of our soldiers are precious and priceless. And no cost should be spared to protect them and enable them to do their jobs effectively.

I have also done a substantive cost appraisal of how much it will cost for 2 minutes of 20mm cannon fire from a Tucano A29

A Wing Loong II, can hover over the areas of contention for 40 hours silently . That's ISTAR capability as well that means no hiding place night or day for Boko.

It means Boko cannot drive in convoys of gun trucks and or motorbikes at anytime to attack remote and isolated villages.

It means that we IDENTIFY, PURSUE, OVERTAKE and ANNIHILATE the word REPEL will no longer be in the diction of the Nigerian armed forces.

Anytime if they Boko manage to attack or we allow them.to attack we can track them silently to thier operating bases for days or weeks. Then with precision weaponry fry the entire base and it's personal.

It means troops can.be directed with proper intelligence, battlefield management and strategy.

It means troops will. NEVER have to be worried about ambushes or fighting without intelligence blindly.

Value for money what it costs for one Tucano you can get 35 -40 Wing Loong II UAV's in the HERE and NOW. If one gets shot down although very very unlikely Boko dont have that technology. But if it did happen no pilot is lost or captured.

Finally with the $540+ million left we can buy used and refurbished Su 25 and more heavy lift helicopters MI8. Then procure refurbished some new at least 2500 - 3000 multiple armoured vehicles platforms IFV's, MRAP's, MBT's, APC's, LAV's., etc.

That's my rational and I can easily substantiate it and not by assumptive ignorance.

Thats why I find it incomprehensible and bewildering that we are facing an existential threat with a very high casualty rate. And we went to buy aircraft with limited impact that will take 6 years to be full delivered and 3+ years for the first one to be delivered.

It just doesn't make any sense .


We are very seriously struggling in the NE and have effectively LOST CONTROL.

Danielnino00:
Whether or not people on this thread don't want Onuachu to start doesn't change the fact that he is in form this season....
Iheanacho has improved too from last season..
Dessers was the toast of all on this thread after his performance in the Dutch league last season..we shouldn't just discard him because he is struggling at Genk..

We have strikers in the team,and I'm confident any of them can step up to the occasion when required..

Improvement should have measurement.

After 30 EPL games in the 2018/19 season KC scored 1 goal, in the 2019/20 seasons KC played 20 EPL games and scored 5.

It's an improvement from a state of abysmal perfomances.

It's improvement, from one level of mediocrity to a lesser level of mediocrity.

He has nothing of quality to offer.
