Egypt not Tunisia Sir..


But honestly, what some people here don't understand is that Ajayi callup was more of a formality.. He made the CAF XI(not on merit self) and is in good form in Egypt. If Rohr didn't call him up,the Nigerian media might start criticizing him..
One thing is for sued though,if Ajayi doesn't impress well enough in camp,he mayn't even make d 30 man list... Chidi Nwakali was invited last year and some people said he was d solution to our overdependence on Mikel.. where is Chidi now??

Rohr already has the list of at least 80% of d players going to Russia.. save for the GK role,he might just b looking for backups for d other roles..

asha80:
he is 29 though so he is in his peak now.

mazimee:
Best defender? I disagree. Ekong is more solid.I know Balogun is definitely going to the world cup , my point is that Omeruo spot is up for grab if anybody puts on an impressive game in the friendlies.

On Awaziem against Marseille

Positives- He was vertile, a natural central defender but can play left back or right back
He was a good header of a ball,good in heading- in set-pieces
A solid man-marker...took out Thauvin except for that last gasp goal...my o my...96th minutes..heatbreaking
A decent tackler. Tackles,clearances and duels were done with finesse[ compare with Taribo West aka mongaru tutti]
He uses both feet,but majorly the right.
Negative- He did not bomb forward,didnt initiate any counter attack except for one, once,he desperately kick out a ball...for a doomed counter
attack by Nantes
The goal Marseille scored ,though he deflected the ball for a corner, as a left back he should have stayed put at that left
goalpost[during
corners,left and right backs stay at their respective goalpost and goal line]Awaziem did not do this. Though there two other
defenders with him there,it was his duty to remain and kick out any goal bound shot.

Above all,we have an elegant centre back to last a decade!!!

somehow:
To the detriment of which AM?

somehow:
If Etebor is to make the list to the WC, which position is he likely to perform best at and who's to be sacrificed for him?

Because it seems Amadu and the NFF indirectly wants him in Russia based on the fact that he gets to play against major players from our group opponents and he's also doing well so far.

tbaba1234:
Wenger needs to leave Arsenal. Any other coach would have been fired.. He is tactical inept now.. Arsenal has the players. They can challenge with a better manager.

So what's the whole point of taking JAMB with all things Nigerian it's a way of circumventing the process for reasons that have nothing to do with Fair-Play and merit.

Sad.

TheSuperNerd:
I concur shaa, we may never know where the next big talent may come from if we limit our eyes to the ones who have been monitored by the coaches for some time.

Manu did say he had been busy scouting some other fine talents and added to the ones from the U-15s, from abroad (like Omidiji Jr) and more, he feels he can start from there for now.... but even if the ones he has found have some potential world beaters, I agree he should still cast his net further to uncover even more rare gems.... we just cannot have enough of them... the more, the better.

Shukusheka:
and you understand football more than everyone else who agree Moses had a bad game today? Everyone is singling Moses and Morata out, but of course you know football more than everyone else.

Shukusheka:
Lol, obviously you only watch football you probably do not understand the game. Moses time after time found himself in good positions but his decision making and his delivery were very abysmal. For a former winger he should be in double figures of assist by now with the space he gets game after game.

Moses is currently even trending on Twitter, everyone is talking about his poor performance today.

Loogan:
My God if I didn't watch the match that's how this guys comment would make me feel Moses was trash.
Moses had a solid game, was one of Chelsea best players in the game.
When Alonso misplace passes nobody will talk, the very few mistakes Moses had which is normal for footballers, they will come and say crap like Moses was trash! The fact that he was subbed early does not mean he had a bad game, the way we bring our players down is shocking .

Shukusheka:
Victor Moses was so terrible for Chelsea today, I felt like crying.

andrew444:
Yes that's true,but osimhen will not end up like chrisantus,and chrisantus never played for Wolfsburg

Kog45:
Bro pls let's talk football the way it's cos i don't know why we always saying Rohr love some or are we saying Rohr hate some.

Pls i want to tell you that as it now we have good players who are better than Isaac Success or do you think this present Eagles na moimoi,it will take a very serious footballer to make the team not Sucesss types.

Ighalo and Success? this arguments came up sometimes ago and after thorough research i realized a lot still rate Success with U 17 glory.

My man Ighalo is better than Success, goal scoring,pace and what they bring to the team generally though Success is very skillful and on the ball damn cool.

oloriooko:
Isaac is definitely out of this WC
Nacho has tied his wrapper well well and he's lost a little weight which makes him fit.

komekn:
Ate you saying there is zero justification to say that he is not an good as was previously thought

Players either improve upwards or they begin to diminish in thier performances. This is why they seek less competitive leagues where thier deficiencies will not be so pronounced.

My view is that this actually quite young footballer only 25, Has been found to be not good enough for the EPL.

Therefore is he among the best we have or can find

Icon4s:
I blame Mikel most for Matuidi not getting the red. As soon as Onazi was fouled, Mikel was nearby and just took possession of the ball and was about to continue playing until the ref blew the whistle for a freekick.

Mikel should have halted the game immediately raising both hands up and rushed towards Onazi as if he had just been hit my a trailer.

In taking such decisions the refs also watch the reactions of the player tackled and those around him.
That tackle almost ended Onazi's career!

komekn:
When people compared a young 18 year old Lukaku to Drogba. After watching him in one game it was clear why. Apart from the small matter he had ripped apart the Belgium league as a mere 16 year old.

So if you make that comparison is it wrong to expect to see a Hugh level of quality.

That's not HATE that's standard rational of the reasonable man to do otherwise and accept without question the comparison proposition that would be unwise.

So I said good, I will watch him tonight to see if I can see what some have said Drogba in the waiting.

komekn:
I would like to see him play again , to see what all the fuss is about.

Somebody compared him to Drogba.

Mujtahida:
Education, education, education. That's what it is now. Our players going to Europe will soon start looking like the absurdity of sending primary school pupils to go study at universities if the European countries continue pressing along this new path they all seem to be travelling on.

BascoVanVeli:
This same lack of education walked Iheanacho right into the Manchester city 1st team.
How many top club 1st teamers have the Romanians accounted for?
I always say this, let us be completely honest with these children. Over 90 percent of these kids will not make it to the top leagues and the NPFL is perfect for them, there is no need rushing to some weird sounding country when there is no chance of u working ur way to one of the top 5 leagues or at least a well paying gig. Even with management and structure that leaves a lot to be desired the NPFL is still a good well paying option in some cases.

BascoVanVeli:
If all u want is Europe u are even opening the door wider for exploitation of our players. football is all about greed so let us not lie to ourselves. Why should a player be deceiving themselves in Romania or something all in the name of playing in Europe.

BascoVanVeli:
U are the same people that will come here to complain about the NPFL being filled with old legs but now u wan turn agent to sell our young players away.

I am not defending anything I am just bringing that to ur attention

Oasis007:
Seem you do not know Puel is a ghost Member of this Thread?! The Pressure has gotten to him, thus he had no choice but to twist his Tactics and Formation to suit our Iheanacho style of Play.

On a more serious Note, I really found it hilarious and petty when Puel was pummeled here as a bad Manager, a Racist who favors English Players to African Players. Dudes forget the same Manager is playing another Nigerian - Ndidi - week in week out.

Ndidi was bought like any other Nigerians into the Team, he got his Chance(s) and grabbed it. I think Puel is confused that Ndidi is a Nigerian?!

Iheanacho should stay at Leicester City and keeps honing his Skills under Puel. He shouldn't be deceived into moving to a lower League, cos that ain't gonna be a good Decision for him and his Career.

This one no be NFF fault my broda,no blame NFF,the guy no reason naija,if na u b the guy na switzerland you go play for,na players wey no fit make european team dey choose naija,if leon balogun fit make german team him no go reason naija,so no b the guy fault
