Eguavoen..... typical indigenous coaches playbook.

Invite the regular squad members with a few new players fans are clamouring for (Amoo, Calvin Bassey, Ademola Lookman, Dennis etc) hoping fans are excited/elated by the new invitees that the questionable and unmerited invitees will be overlooked.

Its a very attack heavy and midfield thin list. From the list, I surmise Eguavoen's is a tactically limited coach who is incapable of switching things up and will rather die on the hill of wingplay even when it's not working. I doubt he knows more than 4-4-2 formation sef.

I am not impressed.

Apart from Onazi(who is not even in the main squad), can you point any other questionable invitee.

JohnBullMySon:
Is he even a starter in his club?

Maduka wey dey start for his club, no be him dey swallow goals like Akpu every match. Until we find a good goalkeeper, Uzoho should man the post.

nelszx:
Akpeyi and Uzoho hasn't played much since after AFCON. I doubt both keepers have played max 3 games between them

I'll rather have Uzoho than Maduka abeg....a few days training will sharpen him up. This is a world cup qualifier,we need full concentration

chrisooblog:
That's in a lower division bro where level of competition is very poor.

If he were doing it in La Liga you would have had a small point.

What of Onuachu? Is he not doing it at the lower division? Is Ighalo playing in a top five league? You make it look like we have a lot of strikers in the top five league firing in all cylinder. Awoniyi has double digit this season in Burnthisleaguedown but we all saw his performance at AFCON. Onuachu is statpadding in Belgium yet he couldn't replicate that form in the national team. Make una cut Sadiq some slack...for now, I'll only pick Victor ahead of him

Icon79:
Nope. Osihmen’s case is totally � percent different. Osihmen actually wanted to come and fought until the last bullet before he gave up. Dennis was totally happy to skip the tournament.

As per Dennis being the best we have, I totally disagree. Our best striker today is Victor Osihmen. And I will take Odion Ighalo over Emmanuel Dennis any day and twice on Sunday.


O pari

Ighalo over Dennis

Joebie:
Etebo and Amoo oga!

So you will replace these two guys with two DMs

lbrichman2:
Who do you think should be in goal, considering the games are likely to be fiesty?

Uzoho abeg

Boomgist:
Why is Akpoguma been sidelined??

He is a broiler

charlesemeka85:
aside Vic,ighalo I don’t think others on standby are better than sadiq

I concur

andrewbaba44:
They are not good enough to bench sadiq nah

Exactly

andrewbaba44:
Awoniyi don go standby ?

No onuachu no Ebuehi ?

It’s well

Up super eagles

I think Ebuehi is injured. Who Onuachu and Awoniyi wan bench for that squad

jihday:
who would you rather have instead of Shehu?

Awaziem or even Ndah

soetanoreoluwa:
The list against Ghana

well...what do I say? Our desires are insatiable. I'd have preferred Awaziem in place of Shehu, Onyedika or Bonke in place of Onazi.
The inclusion of Umar, Calvin and Amoo are all welcomed.
Good list though....

andrewbaba44:
Auba can’t play giroud CF role by doing nothing ,no goals nor assist in 7 World Cup games ?

Stop capping man ,auba left your club doesn’t mean you should talk down on him

Suddenly you don rate laca and giroud pass auba

Smh

Toor....
I'm done here man.

andrewbaba44:
How did auba win epl goden boot ahead of better players yet you are comparing lacazette to him who can’t even score 15 epl goals

Stop twisting narrative ,if auba was French he will only be behind benzema,or you wanna tell me giroud is better than auba

Oga...8f Auba is French, he will be behind Mbappe....Benzema is a similar player to Giroud and he offer more than being a target man that's why he is benching Giroud. Auba can never bench Giroud in the French team using the current formation and tactic. Auba ain't a target man.

Auba had more goals than Laca, I'm not disputing that but the way you're pulling down Laca is what I'm debating with you.
Both of them are almost in the same class.

andrewbaba44:
You are capping

Lacazette was at arsenal before auba went there and auba outscored him

You guys are pained about auba ,even with his poor form at his late arsenal days what did laca do ?

Bro’s no Dey use sentiments for football abeg

The other guy said no big team came for auba ,please can you help me tell him the teams arsenal blocked auba from joining before offering him that 350k weekly ?

Auba's departure was not painful to us. We wanted to get rid of him sef. At the end of the day, we chose the one who we think will work for us. Firmino no dey score much for Liverpool but Klopp still prefer am.
No sentiment at all...You're the one making it looked as if I'm pulling down Auba. No be here o dey celebrate his hattrick. Abeg stop pulling Laca down.....Do you think Saka mad ESR will be scoring goals as they're doing now with Auba as the CF?
I remember Juventus, Barcelona and Newcastle were interested in Aubameyang then.

andrewbaba44:
You guys are pained auba left

Make una enjoy laca

Una don change mouth as no be una player anymore ,sote you begin cap day giroud go play ahead of auba

Na question I ask you, you dey yarn something else.
Wahala for who dey argue with Andrew.
All I told you is that Auba can't play Giroud's role for France not that Giroud is better than Auba.

andrewbaba44:
How is auba competition when he plays as a cf and giroud plays as a cf and mbappe from the flanks

Salah always compete with other EPL strikers for golden boot every season, does that make him a forward?
I dont think you even follow the French team sef
Griezman is the SS while Giroud is the target man which leaves Mbappe as the wide forward. Can Auba play as a target man? No . Can he play as a SS? No. That leaves Mbappe as his competitor.
Mind you, majority of Auba's goals (for Arsenal) came fr the wing

andrewbaba44:
I Dey tell you of club stats you Dey tell me national team stats

Mbappe you are putting there is never playing as a striker for the French team , we where here when giroud started as their cf at the World Cup,if the French team has auba there is no way giroud will smell a starting shirt .

If auba is playing for the French team he will only be behind benzema ,even a blind man knows this ,but you can keep deceiving yourself to suit your narrative

You haven’t prove anything ,one get better stats pass one even for the same team with lesser games ,so what’s your point

I am sure you will say giroud is better than auba soon ,I blame poor auba that 350k kept him at arsenal

Person meet you for same team and e still outscore you with lesser games ,auba still get poor season for him arsenal late days yet laca couldn’t still meet up �

the bolded is wrong. If Auba is French,he won't make the France's squad. Auba's competition is Mbappe not Giroud. There's a reason why Giroud always started for France during the WC despite his poor goal return.

andrewbaba44:
Where did I say France took 4 strikers to a tournament ?

I am telling you the strikers ahead of lacazette but you still think he is on same level with auba

If auba is a second rate striker then lacazette is 4th rate ,Na auba wey get poor season before he leave arsenal I blame ,person don outscore salah before Na him you Dey put on same level with laca

Smh

When did Auba outscored Salah? Andrew, most arsenal fans preferred Laca to Auba...e get why

andrewbaba44:
Auba was not sought by Madrid and co ? You can tell that to the birds around you ,maybe you where blind when arsenal gave him that 350k weekly salary ,almost all European big teams want auba ,our fellow Barca fans here can attest to that so stop lying just to make a point

If you think auba is second class striker then lacazette is a 4th class striker ,lacazette that’s not good enough to play for France ahead of giroud Ben yedder Na him you Dey put for the same level with auba

Before auba signed that new 3 year deal he rejected about 5 Europe top clubs and Madrid where among

Dembele is not a striker,Griezmann is not a striker for France ,think before you talk ,I am talking about strikers here ,if auba is playing for the French team he will only be behind benzema

Ben yedder and martial are strikers making the team ahead of Lacazette ,lacazette has not been good enough to play for the French team for 4 years and you get mind Dey put am for same level with auba

Same laca that cannot give auba stats arsenal

You are wrong about this. Ever wondered why Auba usually struggled whenever Lacazette is not playing? Why was Auba pushed to the wing to accommodate Lacazette? You don't watch Arsenal's matches so you're wrong to conclude

andrewbaba44:
Lacazette on the same level with Aubameyang

Same lacazette that cannot make the French team even when benzema was out ,dude has not play for France since 4 years ,even Ben yedder at 31 is still getting called up but same can’t be said of lacazette ,Na that person good enough to replace suarez then

Same lacazette auba met at arsenal and he outscored him in lesser games ,auba still had a bad later season at arsenal and lacazette couldn’t still meet up

Lacazette not making the French team has nothing to do with his club performance. There was a time he was the most informed French forward yet he was not called up. Lacazette has 13 caps for France already and I think he couldn't make the France squad twice due to injury. I also read a report about Descamp saying Lacazette's similarities to Giroud is what is blocking him from making the team. So, don't use that excuse to pull down Lacazette.

Baddestguyp:
we don't need Pogba...
That's going backwards...
We don't need someone with high wages with attitude that causes dressing room problems

I don't really understand why we need De Ligt too...
I can't say for sure...
All I know is we need a good CB...
Dunno if De Ligt is the right choice

not De ligt please...

Schemerkhiz:
LCFC Women manager Lydia Bedford has confirmed that Ashleigh Plumptre will miss the trip to Manchester United on Saturday due to illness. After helping her country qualify for 2022 African Women’s Cup of Nations last week, Nigeria international Plumptre picked up an illness which ruled her out of the Vitality Women’s FA Cup tie at Chelsea.

She’s just had an illness that she’s picked up while away on international duty that she hasn’t been able to shift yet, so we’re just prioritising making sure that we don’t rush her back in. But other than that, we remain very similar to last week’s game, which is good.”

Chai...it should be due to our weather. She should have collected herbs before departing for England

jpmoriarti:
Yeahh if we can secure these free agents, then we have to use money saved to go for Halland.

And of course, players such as Umtiti, Lenglet, Mingueza, Braithwaite and Luuk de Jong will look to depart.

I don't know why I really want Luuk to stay. He could be our plan B against a stubborn team.

ThierryJay:
Who ever knew Aubameyang would be such a good fit at Barca? I couldnt believe it was the same lazy languid Aubameyang at Arsenal that was now working his socks off tracking back all over the pitch for Barca.

Same might apply for Pogba. He probably just needs a more suitable environment away from that Cursed Trafford.

Would be a good buy for the right price.

Well, if you say so. Pogba has the quality but can he stay focused

GuiseppeO:
Pogba over Kessie, don’t you think it’s a good one?

Pogba is just too unserious. I've not really watch Kessie that much so I can't really pinpoint the better out of the two.

Schemerkhiz:
I would love to see Randy experiment a front 3 of Oshoala, Onumonu and Ordega...

Asisat Oshoala as Center forward,
Ifeoma Onumonu Right wing
Fransisca Ordega left wing....

Having Oparanozie, Okoronkwo, Kanu and Monday Gift or Vivian Ikechukwu on the bench for us to see the number of goals they can produce...

Onumomu as the CF, Oshoala on the RW and Kanu on the left wing will do for me.

PDPGuy:
The date hasn’t been announced yet

alright Chief

Schemerkhiz:
Asin eeh this girl na beast, she's so quick and strong, her speed and confidence is something else, she doesn't lake it at all defensively. she have got the qualities of a Modern day full back. I wonder why Mr B will even rate Glory Ogbonna in same class with her even though she's majorly a Right Back.

She's already 21yrs. She needs game time to really prove herself for the Superfalcons.. A senior at College this year, hopefully next year we would see her go pro (maybe apply for the NWSL College Draft or move to Europe straight)

then why is she finding it difficult to start for us if she has all those qualities
