MetalJigsaw:
why would a sane coach pick up to 4 goal keepers to one tournament??

A tournament with just 7 matches at maximum. What was he thinking

Danielnino00:
Awoniyi for me.. Aside him being the most in-form striker, he was also among the very first to arrive camp, so he definitely must have earned some level of trust from the coach...

ChrisKels:
Trust me, some people in here know better than these ekuke foreign coaches wey we dey hire some times.

Someone like TheGoodJoe clearly sabi football pass Rohr. Thesupernerd would do well as a backroom staff, an assistant or a PA

ChrisKels:
There next line will be, if he could conduct so well, why then is he still in the Segunda Liga? Komekn will lead the charge, and others will follow.

TheSuperNerd:
Looolll... Yes boss.


P.S: I fit pick am up when Oga Humility return shaa. Just to add small jara.

You might have a good point here o because I just viewed Xavi and Modric 2010 and 2018 stats and it doesn’t seem very impressive enough to win b’allon d’or

Modric 2018 World Cup stats
2 goals and 1 assist in 7 games

Xavi 2010 World Cup stats
0 goals and 0 assist

Okay, as a Central midfielder, you might not score/assist bountifully, but, your over control of the tempo of the game can have a huge impact on your team result

TheSuperNerd:
Good..... now that you mention the bolded... help me with these. because I want to show you something. I asked Emeka but he ran away from the questions.

Nwakali is a Central Midfield playmaker/Conductor and there is something about players of his ilk you need to understand.



How many assists did Modric have at the World Cup in Russia? And why exactly was he named best player at that WC?

How many assists had Xavi at Euros 2008 and tell me why he was named MVP of the tournament?

How many assists did Mikel have at Holland 2005 FIFA U20 WYC to be named by all who saw him & others as the true best player of the whole tournament?

And how many goals and assists did Modric have in the 2017/18 season across all competitions to be crowned Winner of the Ballon D'or and FIFA The Best?



And please, lol... stop misinforming yourself and by extension, others. You don't even know the League Nwakali, Omeruo & Sadiq play in.

It is NOT Segunda B. It is La Liga 2 AKA La Liga Smartbank.
Segunda B used to be the Third (3rd) tier of Spanish football before the current leagues hierarchy so ofcos Segunda B was "Lowly". I speak of the Spanish 2nd tier which is one of the most competitive 2nd tier leagues in the world and definitely the most technically proficient.

Also, I posted his stat ratings. One you never bothered to check all the while you were castigating the young man. Also, you haven't watched Nwakali of recent so your takes on him is always gonna be laced with ill-information.


Just answer the above questions. because it is tied to something you and some others here shouting Goals and assists everywhere DON'T know about most genuine Midfield controllers.



Let me give you a hint. They don't always boast good goals and assists numbers. I will explain after you have answered the questions.

TheLoneCitizen:
It seems you are mad, go and tell that to your dead first child.

PurpleHouse:
Trust me, Dennis will regret his action for the rest of his career. Should we win Afcon, his national team dream is dead. And one day, he will give an interview of how Ranieri messed his ambition up.

We dey here dey wait.

CODMOK:
Of course there is.
Other strikers (who value international football )will stop scoring so as to brighten Lord Dennis chances of being selected.

CODMOK:
Which time does the coach have to observe him?. Who told him he will maintain his rich form?. Players like Ekong and Musa continue to be invited because there is no time to try new players. No luxury of time in international football brother

PurpleHouse:
The only person I feel for right now is Dessers.

I really feel for him. His passion, desire, and zeal. Yet no recognition and value for him. It hurts though.

But he'll come good next year. The new coach will call him.

CODMOK:
Forget Rohr, he is gone. How was he treated by the NFF and how should he has been treated?
What I am saying is that Dennis has shown he is not loyal to his country and he should not expect to be shown any form of consideration in future call ups. If the new coach and the NFF however feels otherwise, it's fine.

JohnBullMySon:
I understand his decision. But to be honest, nobody should come and complain here if he never gets invited to play for us ever again. He should keep playing for Watford and become Ronaldo there.

CODMOK:
Loyalty is everything bro. I hope you will not also complain when other players who got a call up at the last hour (and still honoured it) make subsequent SE squads at his expense.

nelszx:
Let him stay na, we go dey alright
I feel the replacements will live up to expectations
I know we'd play the finals on Feb 6th

Philosopher1979:
Dennis should be careful. International football is important.
Another player could start shining a few months from now and it will make us forget about him.
We have many young players scattered in Europe waiting for a chance to shine in the top 5 leagues.
playing at the world cup will boost his reputation to no limits.
This is what made Ahmed Musa earn his place in Nigeria and it is even helping his club career.
If dennis plays well in the nations cup, then he can go to the world cup and play well and this will boost his career
and cement his international career.
Anyone can go and take his place at anytime. Football is unpredictable and fickle.
What if peter olaynka, collins yira sor, akinkunmi amoo etc move to a top 5 league next season and
start doing something spectacular or peter olayinka takes the nations cup by storm and moves
to a better league.
Nigeria has too many good players for him to be doing shakara.
The future will surprise him

forgiveness:
This thing dey pain me ooo. They should have called this guy, na.

CODMOK:
Dennis really loved Watford. While other players chose to help their countries, he volunteered to stay and help the club. Greater love has no than this

Subzero047:
Waiting for when Eguavoen delivers his first disasterclass at Afcon and the blame is heaped on Rohr

12large1:
Lmao our starting 11 nor bad sha.. it’s the bench that’s weak…

TheGoodJoe:
Remember when Eguavoen was announced as coach, I said I am most interested in his philosophy.

Fortunately for us he did that video and unlike lots of coaches, we have an idea into his mind.

One thing he talked about was a midfielder dictating play from deep with long balls.

I doubt that anyone here can not guess the player that has this skillset. As soon as he said it, I understood why Kelz Nwakali is important to him.

Then he talked about building from the back with passes. Keep in mind, Rohr has been terrible with this. Over the years we did not work on it.

In that Ndah clip someone posted, I watched his movement during short passes and his decision making during the process. I said to myself, no wonder Eguavoen wants him in camp.

So, it is still my view from what I have studied. I will prefer any opposite view to come with tactical or strategic backing.

Meliforme:
The point i am making is: It shouldn't cost him sleepless nights. The new names are just Olisa Ndah and Nwakali, Most fans are already in the know of the need for a player like Nwakali.

Even if it cost him sleepless nights, telling the public is not necessary.

I hope he is not trying to use these stories as an excuse for failure. A failure will always tell you about their efforts. That is the first thing they normally present.

A failure will tell you how what he has is not enough, for example in one of his most recent interviews, when queried about his proposed wing play he said that we are no longer in the days of Finidi and Odegbami before he now asked "what is the name of that Villareal boy" the manner at which he made the query revealed some sort of downsizing. You can search Youtube to view his interview with a personnel in NFF.

TheGoodJoe, life is predictable, and this is how some of us predict failure.
I pray someone very close to him corrects him.

ChrisKels:
After rewatching this match against Argentina and seeing yet again how Mikel dictated play from that middle, I must say thanks to Eguavoen for bringing on Kelechi Nwakali. Our midfield has been begging for a natural conductor since Mikel left.

forgiveness:
Which chance? Do you mean the 1 minute chance give to Olayinka?

Nwakaeme has not done better than Peter in the last two seasons. Why mention him?

Besides, he is playing in a lower league and lower club than Peter.

There’s prejudice and bias selection in the national team under Rohr and it seems the thread is about to continue with Eguavoen.

isan:
Iheanacho need to sign for a team where he will be the first choice striker playing 90minutes every week

kingphilip:
Even with your NB, you go see somebody for down go tell you say you de put Kroos to be the same level with Nwakali.

Watch and see

TheGoodJoe:
First of all, if for instance, a coach prefers having a player that makes runs with the ball into spaces, and that player plays in the PSL, are you saying the coach should not use the player to play a bundesliga star who does not make runs with the ball?

If the player does not fit the coach's philosophy or lacks the skillset he wants, you can not force it on the coach.

The philosophy is king.

humility33:
Yeah he is better than a player bossing and playing in German top division league and Glasgow rangers

I just pray the injustice you guys support dont return to hurt u someday

When u support mediocrity and injustice do so with shame

PurpleHouse:
I deliberately just didn't want to talk about him because I'm hurt too.

The fact is that: Rohr messed upost of these guys to the point where most of them lost confidence. They began feeling they weren't good enough. And it affected their psychological well-being to the point of trying hard to please him with various loan moves that didn't bear much result.

And Secondly, he needs to work harder and stop being comfortable in his comfort zone in Gala.
