they say he is resting. let me hear from baba icon4s. sir how is uzoho? anyway na england match go settle am. this one is lowgrade.
please are you watching it using the aitliveonline link? it aint showing at my end oo

To be honest, he's simply resting, not really troubled at all.

I'm highly disappointed in Mr. Project Aswear! The Pitch is damn poor, and kinda making the Match non-interesting to the Eyes.

Lokosa is balling and workaholic on the Flank. I heard he's 19yrs old.

The following Players in the Lineup are on their final Trial..... Make or Mar!

1 - Uzoho

2 - Echiejile

3 - Lokosa

4 - Simmy

5 - Joel* (fitness Trial)

Icon4s:
What are you going to the WC with 5 CBs for?

Sir, then let the best between them make the final List..... based on Merits. 4 CBs is all we need to have a balance Squad.

Martz101:
will you also call your self out if he doesn't make it?

Sure I will.

Martz101:
bros i no get power for back and front argument, no vex

Same here....... but I will call you out if Stephen Eze makes the 25-Man List.

bengine:
Thanks bro but we don't have dstv or GOtv, for here..naa only bein or ESPN or fox sports we get...any website link to watch this match?

No idea Bro.

safarigirl:
which one is defender's body? The body wey Eze get pass the one wey Egwueke been get? How far that one? Na body dey play ball?

Lol...... tactically he's gonna be useful in some Games. For instance let's say we are leading the Croats by a Lone Goal, fully lock down the Midfield and they couldn't penetrate rather resorting to wing-play and crossing.

Don't you think we gonna need a Defender like him to deal with aerial Threats?!

safarigirl:
Agbo is not the one blocking Eze.

Did I say he's the one?! Guess questioning the fruitful-less invitations of Agbo is wrong ba?! Eze gonna start Today's Friendly, whereas Agbo still gonna be glued to the Bench.

To me Eze is more useful to the Team than Agbo cos I've not seen the latter repping the GWG at any Level.

Martz101:
Ezenwa been there while we qualify does not change the fact that his not good enough, no surprise with Rohr inviting and keeping fate with another keeper.

but calling for eze inclusion ahead of awaziem and Omeruo is really difficult to understand

Lol..... so Ezenwa ain't good enough, but a Rookie is?! So you prefer Uzoho as our No. 1 GK?! How many competitive Matches has Uzoho been in Post for the Eagles?!

Can you highlight or refer to a Post where I made the bolded Statement?!

bengine:
Abeg Sir Tbaba1234, which channel is showing this game today or any website link...is bein sports or any channel showing it?

DSTV and GOtv gonna show the Match.

tbaba1234:
Eze is not on the level of either Awaziem or Omeruo yet. I know because i have seen his games in Bulgaria. There is still some (a lot) rawness there. He can get better though.

Yes he's not but he's still needed for the Mundial for tactical Reason. Aside from Balogun and Ekong, Eze stands out based on height, ruggedness and Stamina.

Agbo has got multiple Invitations, yet he has never played even for just a Minute for the Team, thus it won't be bad to drop him for Eze.

I trust Eze's rawness is being refined perhaps separately during training Seasons, and I'm having the feeling he gonna make the 25-Man List.

Martz101:
they have been disappointing so far, eze can't make the worldcup if awaziem and Omeruo are fit

They?! Did you forget we qualified for the World Cup with Ezenwa between the Sticks?!

Based on Merit or Sentiment?! Eze has the Body-frame to excel as a Defender vis-a-vis Omeruo and Awaziem?! Secondly can you prove it that both Omeruo and Awaziem can be trusted in a 2-Man Defence?!

Martz101:
what's your point, picking Eze ahead of Omerou and Awaziem?

What's your Point picking Uzoho ahead of Ezenwa and Akpeyi?!

Martz101:
my brother, he won't

one of Agu and Agbo will make the 25 man list instead

I will rather drop both and pick Eze for the Final List. Are you comfortable with our Defence?! Aside from Ekong and Balogun, who else is capable among our Defenders - sentiment apart?!

In a 3-man Defence, Awaziem and Omeruo can be trusted, but in a 2-Man Defence....... taah!

Stephen has the Height and Stamina to succeed as a Defender. He's only needed to be panel-fitted a bit to bring out the best in him.

Martz101:
Eze will be dropped, eze,Agu and lokosa. or else lokosa do something wonderful today

Stephen Eze will make the 25-Man List Bro, bookmark this Post for future Reference.

Mujtahida:
Okay. Was it not this same tactics that we used during the friendlies?

Not in all, but in some. In few Hours time, we gonna know his real Potentials.

Meanwhile Stephen Eze will make the 25-Man List going to London.

Rohr is likely to play 4 - 3 - 3 Formation with the Trio of Lokosa, Simmy and Iheanacho leading the Attack.

Hence it's very likely for Lokosa to play as a Wing-Forward (Winger), perhaps on the left Wing, while Iheanacho plays on the right Wing and Simmy as the Striker.

Cc Mujtahida.

tbaba1234:
His scan results were not positive, he is all but ruled out.

Etebo and Musa can play both wings.

I remember his Exploits on the Wing at Rio Olympic.

Mujtahida:
Lokosa on the wings. Hmmmm another Uzoenyi

Didn't know much about him though, but just hoping he makes the Final List as a Boost for the NPFL Players.

I wouldn't mind to play Ebuehi on the Wing to be candid. He's technical, pacy and can dribble. Ryan Sessegnon started the Season as a FB for Fulham, but eventually gets converted to a Wing-Forward.

Gareth Bale also started his Career as a LB, but Today he's a deadly Winger. Ebuehi is kinda too light as a Defender. He can be bullied by strong Wingers. I would rather exploit his technicality, Skills, Pace and Brilliance as a Winger.

There is no need for Replacement, cos Rohr still gets 6 more Players to drop from the List. Lokosa might eventually gate-crash and becomes a good Ambassador for the NPFL at the Mundial.

Let's trust Rohr's Decision, whatever he decides with the List so be it.

After what Ramos did to Mo Salah Yesterday, I think I understand why RAMs are killed for SALLAH.

Icon4s:
As if you dey concede to arguments.

Lmao...... why won't I concede or perhaps quit the Argument if it's getting tense?! My Point is; let's be factual and objective with our Submissions instead of being authoritative based on personal Opinion Sir.

tbaba1234:
I just reviewed the stats just now and you are right.

However, Simon and Kalu are not in direct competition.

You are truly a Boss, a role Model on this Thread. We all need to learn from you Sir, let me reiterate that Arguments ain't a do or die Affair; sometimes you win, while sometimes you learn.

tbaba1234:
Not exactly true, Simon was rotated several times during the season.

Also, Kalu had injury issues at the end of the season and was not fully fit.

Check your Facts clearly Sir, coz that's inaccurate and misleading. Simon played 29 Matches for Gent this Season and started 28 Matches out it.

https://www.foxsports.com/soccer/gent-team-stats?competition=0&season=2017



He was injured and out for Six Weeks, otherwise he would have played in all Matches for the Club.

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/injured-moses-simon-ruled-six-weeks/



However, in the case of Kalu, he played 32 Matches, but started 22 Matches out of it.

https://www.foxsports.com/soccer/gent-team-stats?competition=0&season=2017



Kalu had injury issues yet he played in all the last Matches for the Club, though as a Sub?!

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/312705/Show/Samuel-Kalu

Lets be more objective Sir.

Mujtahida:
you see, you are looking at so many variables. and that is how we should be looking at situations and all our talk here should be postulates not certainties except we have facts to back them up.

That's something missing on this Thread, that's simply the missing Puzzle - be damn authoritative with our Opinions and Stances.

tbaba1234:
The Belgium league is not covered on whoscored.com so the stats are incomplete. It is not one of the leagues on that platform.

Simon Moses started several games on the bench, same did Kalu and Esiti.

He is important to their team but so his Kalu. Your initial statement is inaccurate as they are not in direct competition with each other.

I don't wanna pull a Forgiveness on this Discourse Sir. Cos before you know it, it will transform to another Tribal, pulling down ish. Some are already boiling and burning at the same time as we speak, they gonna be disappointed cos I ain't gonna prolong this Discourse any further.

Points duly noted Sir.

Mujtahida:
sir, this is precisely what you did in saying iwobi is a starter na. na im make me put mouth

You are spot on Sir. I can't see the Difference either.

tbaba1234:
The bolded is not true. They play different positions in Gent and are not in direct competition.

Simon Moses plays mainly on the left, Kalu plays mainly on the right.

And Simon Moses has been fit several times and started on the bench. The Gent coach likes to rotate his team.

The Key Words are; at the crucial moment for Gent....... kindly check the whoscored Stats below Sir. Why did Kalu, a fit and in form Player relegated to the Bench for a Player just returning from Injury to be accommodated in the Lineup?!


https://www.whoscored.com/Players/202185/Show/Moses-Simon


https://www.whoscored.com/Players/312705/Show/Samuel-Kalu


It's apparent the Manager believed he gets lots to offer the Team at the moment than his Nigerian Brother, hence he did the needful to accommodate him in the Lineup.

Icon4s:
Since we ain't God we cannot also say whether it is Rohr that will lead us to Russia or whether the NFF would fire him and get another coach.

We are not God naa so we can't say.

Of course we can't Sir. Do you think Carl Ikeme anticipated his present Condition?! What of if Rohr is diagnosed with acute ailment (God forbids) and must be hospitalized immediately, perhaps a Day to the World; Won't Salisu takes Charge?!

Mujtahida:
this is precisely why i began the debate. if you read me well i use the word "opinion", "judgment". if its based on those two words then fine. but as per facts its not so clear cut unlike in Vicmos's case. ultimately one's opinion or judgment might be prove to be correct

More so...... argument ain't won by being judgmental, and in my Opinion the Purpose of a Debate is for the Audience to learn. Let's drop Stats to justify our Stance for the sake of the Audience.

What makes Iwobi a better Winger ahead of Simon and the Reason we are convinced he should be the first Choice tactically and Technically?!

Bar Injury or Fitness Problem, Simon is a Starter for Gent as a Winger. Even when he returned from Injury during the crucial moment of the Season for Gent, Kalu was sacrificed and relegated to the Bench as a Super-Sub despite been in form of his life.

Whoever envisaged Musa could deliver 2 super Goals against Argies in the last WC?! He was played on the left, hence he had the freedom and audacity to cut in and shoot.

When was the last time he played majorly on the left Wing for the Eagles, especially under Rohr?! Simon is also more effective on the left Wing, but the Position is a no go Area as far as VicMo is in the Lineup.

Mujtahida:
thank you!!!!!. thats just my point beautifully summarized

We can't speak of what's gonna happen in the Future since we ain't God. Also we can't decide who starts for the Team at the Mundial since we ain't in charge.

Technically the Coach might opt for Iwobi, but there are some Matches that tactically Rohr will have no other Choice but to start Simon and keeps Iwobi on the Bench.

Icon4s:
We know all those.

The question is who is Rohr's first choice as a winger between Iwobi and Simon?

At the bolded Sir..... we can only talk about who was not is. Until we see the Lineup in a competitive Match at the Mundial precisely, then we gonna have the Answer.

Change is constant, and the only permanent thing in life is Change, thus between now and then anything can happen Sir.
