This team list is good but not balanced except we want to console our mind with deceit. In defence, the team is very light with respect to defensive substitution. Personally, except there is an injury concern, Onyeka deserved to be chosen ahead of Yusuf. And Uche be chosen instead of Aribo. Aribo and Papa Daniel are mobile left footed midfielders who played with similar style. But Daniel's physical balance edges Aribo. So, either of the two should have been chosen and most likely Daniel. We have seen Aribo in Eagles and know his stuff. But Daniel could be a new vibe with more hunger and passion. In attack, amongst Sadiq, Boniface, Tolu & Tella. i will simply pick Sadiq who is the most capped amongst them but always falter to impress consistently. Boniface will not get the space & time, [b]Tolu's style is too relaxed for the SE[/b]Tella lacks the 1vs1 skills on the wings expected of a SE winger.

Na im be say this Tolu na another Onuachu 2.0.

Kanu and Agali were lanky players but effective for us. I know Kanu didn't score much goals but he impacted games.

I hope this Tolu is not like Onuachu cos that's another player I don't want to see near SE.

Another person I don't just like seeing on SE color is that Sadiq. He's not a SE player! He does not have the DNA. No matter how high chicken flies, it cannot be an eagle. And as Kog45 will bear witness, there are many attackers who score loads of goals for their clubs but were perennial flops in GWG.

It even irks me whenever he scores and the info is posted here. He creates confusion. He should just go.

I want to give him a benefit of doubt and watch the two games b4 criticising him on y he left a 90min football week in week out player for a papa Daniel or alhassan…I. Want to believe it’s base on the way he wants to play (tactical reasons),cos I can c dt d papa Daniel and Joe aribo guys re more of central midfielders ,went for ndidi and alhassan as his dm options and iwobi as AM

Those two guys spoiled the list. I like Aribo but he's been a let down for Super Eagles. Frank on the other hand is fire

Odunayaw:
Played abroad as a teen in Turkey. The guy has potential and if he does well with the CHAN, he is one I think would have a good career beyond our shores

Aight then. But it's not in this kind of game that a newbie should be invited. Anyway I don't he will play

AndSunGorilla:
Thank you!!! Especially now that Frank is an ever présent like housefly on top exposed shyte!!!

Frank the tank is irreplaceable

elyte89:
I am surprised too but with dis list,I won’t be surprise if he already knows his starting lineup

Either Aribo or Papa Daniel should have been left off for Onyeka. Now is not the time to bring in new players oo especially to replace a player like Frank

opes:
He played in Turkey before he returned to NPFL. He has the exposure

Played abroad and returned home? Haaa, is he good at all?

AndSunGorilla:
Overall decent list. However, I can't get over Onyeka's omission!!!
If he doesn't get at least 4pts from the 2 games, he's a goner!!!!

Frank my man. In such a crucial match Frank should make the list.

AndSunGorilla:
Not an independent country yet. Meanwhile una don see the list?

The usual suspects plus some new entrees

As I see Boniface on the list, I just got angry. Why is Aribo on the list and Frank Onyeka not on the list? Anyway that 35 man list is the full list of our players. Chelle will be picking players from the list.

Let them just win.

AndSunGorilla:
You fit talk Moldova language?

Na wa oo. Small time you guys will advise us to go to Crimea.

chrisooblog:
Liechtenstein dey available. Europe na Europe

Make una pity us na. We lose our country, still our country men dey hound us. 😏😏

Subzerooo:
It's official, Aina has won the Aina vs Ebuehi debate

Won? Ebuehi is not in contention since after the 2018 world cup

AndSunGorilla:
@Elyte and his lawyer (the failure of à client is largely the attorney fault) don't make failure à monument but rather let it be just à moment!!!. I think Igboelerin Warriors are looking for an assisant coach for their feeder team.

We have not failed. What a man does not have today, he will get tomorrow. It's not only Igboelerin, na Igbotako. We are going to Europe where our expertise will be appreciated and further honed. Africa is not worthy of us. Forward! Onward!

AndSunGorilla:
We should have supported you in your failed attempt, at least for now, una go don give us list.

Be careful. He has not yet recovered and here you are rubbing it in

Subzerooo:
I saw his goal compilation in Napoli and noticed how many counter attack goals were there, maybe he's managing his sprints which is good

Formation. That could be the reason

AndSunGorilla:
Kanu's 19 year old son just signed for a 3rd division Polish team. Won't Enyimba be better than that?

The young man needs polishing. You Gerrit?

Kog45:
Going by form,Osimhen,Dessers and Arokodare but on pedigree Boniface should make the list,Sadiq making it look slim but going by very recent goals scoring he can make it,fact we have only one proven scorer in Victor Osimhen talking eagles,so others na dem dem apart from Arokodare who is yet to feature

Which pedigree does Boniface have with the Super Eagles? Zilch, nada. If he's dropped today, nobody will miss him. He's done nothing of note in all his appearances.

charlesemeka85:
he needs to be shaken a bit by dropping him, I believe it will serve as a wake up call to him

Exactly. We need sharp, intentional attackers not players who extend comedy and online antics into the pitch.

Samueltemi337:
He scored in the 2021 AFCON

Against?

BankyGee:
Victor Osimhen
Cyriel Dessers
Victor Boniface
Tolu Arokodare

If I were Chelle, I will drop Boniface.

AndSunGorilla:
That Sadiq usually scores when it's time for national team's games.

Has he ever scored for Super Eagles? I doubt. Granted he's had limited playing time sha.

semid4lyfe:
This style of play requires pressing hard from the front, in attack and in midfield, and playing a high-backline with offside traps like Barca does.

The issue with this is we don't set offside traps very well and haven't perfected those tactics.

Furthermore, relying on offside tactics at the back could prove disastrous in the absence of VAR review because an offside goal may be scored against us if Referee & Linesman "sojinu'

(Drogba's goal for CIV against Nigeria in the 2006 AFCON semi-final comes to mind.

We have been extremely unlucky without the VAR in this WC Qualifier.

If VAR was being used, we'll have gotten 3 points from Rwanda for Lookman's goal and perhaps another 3 points from SA for the foul on Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and our standing in the group would have been different.

If Chelle qualifies us for the World Cup, he should be given OON national honour and immediate Nigerian citizenship, with an improved contract covering the next 2 AFCONS after this year's.

It will be wonderful if Chelle pulls us through the WCQ

ChrisKels:
Yea, thank you for refreshing my memory. Old age dun come.

😂😂

elyte89:
You knw dis is what I won’t do even if it was a 100 man list; to invite musa …please face ur coach as u don already leave me 😎😏

The good thing is that you gave it your all. It's just not your time but in sha Allah, you will soon receive a call from Honduras.

By the way where's majoribanks?

zicky:
i thought Musa has retired from the National teams. That means if Musa can be invited, Ideye still have a chance or Onazi 😂

We need to send a delegation to Ahmed Musa with pen and paper and insist that he should formally retire. We don tire. To serve Nigeria is not by force

I just tire
I saw Ahmed Musa on the list, I just weak.

This is a political list drawn up to pacify everyone. I hope this will not bring doom to Chelle

Napoleon55:
What can Yaya do in football that Okocha cannot easily do apart from defending, that Okocha cannot be compared with him?

If Okocha were opportuned enough to play for any of the traditional top teams even if na Arsenal, the world for dey give am the respect he deserves.
Yaya was more successful in Europe because he played in more organized ambitious teams.

Sometimes these Europeans when ranking the most skillful players of all time, Okocha's name don't usually make top 10 sometimes,all because he did not play for a major top team.

Okocha's problem was that he for long stretch of his football career he did not approach the game with a business like attitude. He just wanted to have fun. If he had added some bit of seriousness and discipline, he'd have achieved greater heights than he did during his career.

Philosopher1979:
Okochavis far better. Okochas ability to control thr midfield is far ahead. Yayactkurevis a product of modern footballs hatred of flair. He is just effective that's all. Okochs eill collect the midfield from this your yaya toure. I don't see much about him compared to okocha. You will say tkure was more successful in Europe but European football is sometimes just tactics and team work. Which dribble did toure invent. I don't send yaya toure at all. Yaya what. Just a tall, effective player that's all. He did not bring beauty to football. No innovative technique, no anything

Your football philosophy is obviously shaped by old football where flair, art and skill is valued. TheGoodJoe is a machine football enthusiasts which places premium on pass and run, athleticism, over reliance on technical coaching strategies, science and efficiency.

junnyjake:
You shouldn't be ending a sentence with a preposition.

😂😂 I no know that one oo.

Bannedlargejr:
Abeg STFU with your inferiority complex. Would you call a Spanish player speaking like Mikel obi as unrefined? Someone that doesn’t have a university education and speaks clearly yet you want to belittle him

😂😂😂 It's a good thing that I no longer indulge in online bric brats.

zicky:
i notice same too in the podcast, I felt it's because he was angry

Well, I don't think so. I hardly listen to his podcast for this reason.
