OMANBALA1:
Chidiebele/Ebere/Ebele all mean same thing, God is merciful.

is thesame, just like ifeanyi and iheanyi

tbaba1234:
Rohr already has the bulk of his team in his head.

yea i know, but the friendlies might bring few headache, imagine lokosa or simi scoring hatrick in one of the top friendly, no coach will drop him.

forgiveness:
Are you shocked?
That is fact. Sorry.

I'm not shocked atall, is it not you?
nothing from you can be a shock to me again

Joebie:
Why do u call him Ebele?

parts of Anambra, Enugu and Delta igbos call it that way lol

forgiveness:
Samuel Kalu is not near top 5 Nigerian performing players in the Belgium pro league. GBAM.

No 1. Peter Olayinka

No 2. Taiwo Awoniyi

No 3. Uche Agbo

No 4. Boniface Bonaventure

No 5. Abdul Ajagun


He is not near top 5.

JOKER

Joebie:

1. Mikel john Obi
2. Oghenekaro Etebo
3. Joel Obi
4. Ogenyi Onazi/Wilfred Ndidi
6. john ogu

seem fair too but the midfielders you can get goals from.
1. Etebo
2. Ogu
3. Mikel
4.Obi/Onazi/Ndidi

IVORY2009:
We will loose all our group matches "if" we wear this jersey...............

Who let the dogs out??

Mujtahida:
How far Lakosa? I read that he's not been able to dance Makosa so far. At least simi has shown his level

time dey for him to impress, i just want them to give Rohr some headache. i don't want them to find the selection easy

Icon79:
True. But problem is, those pundits often influence some managers also.


O pari

very true, iwobi will miss wenger the most. That man truly believe in him

TheLoneCitizen:
I'm fed up with his egotism, but he has a case in that he featured in Saturday's FA Cup final.

Ogu played 2 days after and his in camp, his sending a wrong message to the team and his team mates.We all know we need him

asha80:
ighalo dribbling ability?

yes, ighalo is very close to moses if not at par

tbaba1234:
If Simy impresses, then i suspect one extra defender will go.

rather one midfielder will go and you know that is

tbaba1234:
Dribbling ability
1. V.Moses 2. Ighalo 3. Simon Moses 4. Iwobi/Mikel

very fair

Icon4s:
We are following in 5D. Let Simi outshine Ighalo in our next couple of games first and let's see whether he will not be accommodated in the team at the expense of a fringe player from another position.

bros for me, i see simi going to the worldcup

OMANBALA1:
I am not saying he is not important but we can do better....With the way things are going I see a lot of youngsters who can displace him in no time...Chukwueze, Onyekuru, Ebere Nwakali are all capable of dribbling

With the right attitude moses was suppose to be eagles assistant captain

OMANBALA1:
Victor Moses is taking Nigeria for a ride....A reformed Onyekuru will do a better job and Chidiebere Nwakali can even dribble better than Victor Moses. I saw flashes of what Ebere Nwakali can do against Athletico.

chidi is a defensive midfielder

Icon4s:
Victor Moses is Rohr's most dangerous weapon. He needs him to have enough rest so there would not be any stories of fatigue.

Ogu played on monday and his in camp

Icon79:
True. But I doubt if that would stop the useless British pundits from blaming him for everything wrong with Arsenal.


O pari

i think he need to develop tough skin, every great player was criticized at some point.

Icon79:
Same here, I am one of Onazi's biggest fans.


O pari

same here, he may not have the bundle of skills but he plays with the heart of a lion and that's the spirit of Naija

asha80:
you think him being english brought has any effect in this?you know english players and this aversion to play outside england

i said that because of iwobi affinity to his Dad and family, England players now travel abroad, he doesn't look adventurous.

charlesemeka85:
yea alex leaving should be to away from epl. teams like monaco, hoffenheim, borussia dortmund and liepzig will suit him

.

charlesemeka85:

Alex don't look like someone that will move away from England or else his whole family including is Dad relocate with him

SIMY ALREADY SHOWING HIS QUALITIES



How Super Eagles Lined Up In Training Session – Crotone Simy Scores Spectacular Goal
May 24, 2018013

Ahead of their upcoming friendly game against Congo DR in Port Hacourt, the senior national team of Nigeria had their second training session witnessed by Owngoalnigeria.com.

As usual the team were shared into two different teams by coach of the team Gernot Rohr after the traditional warming up, light exercises and shooting drills.

Rohr lined the team up in a way which suggest he is already building the team for the Congo DR friendly as most of the regular players were lined up in one team, while the rest who are trying to win a spot were lined up in a separate team.

The highlight of the one hour training session game saw newly invited Crotone forward Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo open scoring in a spectacular fashion with a lob over the head of goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.

Team A.

Francis Odinaka Uzoho (GK)

Leon Balogun

William Troost-Ekong

Ola Aina

Elderson Echiejile

Ogenyi Onazi

Joel Obi

Oghenekaro Etebo

DONT MISS ==> EXCLUSIVE: Efe Ambrose Reacts To Olympiakos Rumours
Junior Lokosa

Simy Nwankwo

Alex Iwobi

Team B:

Ikechukwu Ezenwa ( GK)

Kenneth Omeruo

Chidozie Awaziem

Stephen Eze

Uche Agbo

Kelechi Iheanacho

Mikel Agu

Odion Ighalo

Tyronne Ebuehi

Moses Simon

Ahmed Musa

Osas Mahawi

Why they no go lob ezenwa when he dey always rush out like person wey masquerade dey pursue.

just imagin Ezenwa vs Messi

Icon79:
Haha!! egbon forgiveness, actually, that would be difficult since I actually don't promote any player, per se. I mean, I have defended players like Tyronne Ebuehi against unfair criticism but I don't see that as promoting him a la the way you do with Kayode

Having said that, I am Igbo but that hasn't stopped me from being the biggest critics of players like Elderson Echiejile, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, and even John Ogu ... to mention but a few. When it comes to naija footie, I am the MOST detribalized Nigeria believe me.


O pari

I'm igbo but i have defended Musa,ighalo and Onazi when they are unfairly criticize... to me football know no colour or tribe

BascoVanVeli:
They need to do heading practice, especially on corners and free kicks. We need our defenders to start chipping in with goals, that is the hallmark of a good team everybody can score.

very true and also defending setpeiece too.

Memory of batistuta goal in 2002 is still fresh

BascoVanVeli:
I think KPB loved playing for Ghana but he just couldn't get his head around some things that were going on like players flying business class while officials are in first class.

players like Gyan were not happy too but they played regardless, his always wanting to play in the worldcup and not nations cup

Icon79:
According to him, sell Aaron Ramsey too while they keep Kolasinac. Useless pundits

But I will actually like Iwobi to leave if the right offer comes along. I don't expect him to get as much playing time with Unai Emery incharge. He's a spineless coach, so expect senior players like Mesut Ozil to start running the show and deciding who plays or sits.


O pari

let's wait and see, you never know. the worldcup would help iwobi if he performs well

komekn:
Ukraine league is rated No. 7 in Europe I wouldn't call it backwater.

Then add to it Shatter Donetsk a club with true European champions league pedigree.

He has actually made upward progression. Then to be winning MOTM awards in that league as well. He has performed much better than many who have been invited. He clearly deserves a call up. Add to that he is versatile can play on the wings with good pace.

I really do not see any rational reason why he shouldn't have been invited players in a few friendlies to have a good look at what he can offer.

Cry from now till tomorrow nothing will change, even if Nigeria win the worldcup with this set of players you wont still be happy

asha80:
you know pep played something similar when he was barca..certainly not up to 6 players but whenever they lost the ball barca players seems to chase down the opponent with the ball in 2s and 3s like terriers until they got possession back

yea true, but 6 is too much...thats more than half of the players chasing a player down

MetalJigsaw:
Oga that's not true. Rooney is a number nine. Muller and Kaka are examples.

you make me laugh, when rooney broke into United team, van nisterlroy was playing 9 and rooney was playing 8. Though he can lead the line too

Everyone knew Rooney was never an orthodox number 9 just like iheanacho but they can lead the line.

komekn:
What's the unit of measurement, Nigerian youth international winning multiple accolades.

Currently playing in the Eerste Divisie the lowly second tier of the Dutch football leagues. One of the easiest places to score goals among the top 20 leagues in Europe. A goal tally of 5 for the season is below average for a AM it's certainly not enough to justify a call up to the SE.

Compared to other teenagers is he in the top 100 in Europe very far from it. So if that's what you call progression what then is failure

you should no better

His playing in the Eerste Division because his principal club sent him out there

on scoring goals, that's not really how to judge game play, his progressing and will get there.

I don't understand your argument, he was not called up by Rohr but I'm very sure in the near future he will be there.

MetalJigsaw:
why the statement?

some foreign born use african teams as a stepping stone and reject callup for tournerment like Africa nations cup e.g Kelvin Prince boateng
