On Dele Aiyenugba i can tell u Rohr m not know him.I can tell u most of d guys u are seeing today are based on recommendation.What can u say about Aaron Samuel invitation?

Dele Aiyenugba is a very good keeper with experience and still active in Isrealite top league as number 1,he deserves a look but sometimes coach can think otherwise especially goalkeeper trainer.

A lot are questioning Alloy Agu on not searching well for quality keepers thanks to Ezenwa for rising to d occasion and save d situation.

It's left for Alloy Agu to make recommendations even outside d shore of Nigeria coz Rohr cannot know it all.I know Rohr w be wondering with d performance of Ezenwa and Ajiboye in training coz they are home based.

Right now i don't think Dele can make it coz Ezenwa has grown to become a reliable keeper to some point and all emphasis is on Enyeama to get a club and come back coz of his pedigree.

The emboldened Parts have said it all. Thanks for making very balance and objective Submissions.

Aiyenugba and Ajagun , i will take out

Can you state your Reasons?!

Midfielders

(12) Mikel Obi; I wasn't a big Fan of Mikel, but I'm convinced he's a good for the Team right from the Olympic. He's the most successful Players in the Team, he's very experienced and ready to give all for the Team to succeed.

(13) Ogenyi Onazi; I do not have to do much talk on him. I just hope for an Onazi of the last World Cup before the Injury.

(14) Karo Etebo; His agility, pace and strength gonna be tactically useful in the World Cup against some Teams. I think he's definitely gonna be a good Addition to the List.

(15) Abdul-Jeleel Ajagun; He can play as pure No. 10 and as a SS. He has played 9 Games for his Club this Season with 2 Goals to his Name. He can also play as a CM or LW. I hope he's given a Shot to prove himself in the coming Games.

(16) Wilfred Ndidi; He's a proven Talent - no doubt about it. His versatility is also a Bonus to the Team. I hope he forms a reliable and formidable PIVOT with Onazi.

Defenders

(4) Shehu Abdullahi; I think he has booked his place in the Team as a reliable RB even though he plays as a CM for his Club.

(5) Leon Balogun; he's a reliable Defender, a solid Leader at the Back, a Fighter and very committed Player. He deserves it coz he truly earned it.

(6) Troust Ekong; he's more or less like Balogun. He's a fantastic Defender and he deservedly earned his Place on the List.

(7) Ederson Echiejile; I know some Dudes would be amazed with his Inclusion, but he really deserves to be on the List. In fact he deserves to be in the first XI. I believe he's gonna come good at the Tourney, however if he fails to pick up, there is a solid backup(s) on the Bench in waiting.

(8} Ola Aina; He's comfortable both as a RB and a LB. He's young and pacy, and wouldn't be surprised if he eventually displaces Echiejile in the first XI.

(9) Tyrone Ebuehi; I think he's yet to make his official Debut due to tactical Reason. He's not strong enough to cope with Africa Football, but technically he's really to serve as a RB and a LB backup respectively.

(10) Chigozie Awaziem; He's gonna be a good backup on the Bench, also it's an opportunity for him to gain exposure and learn from the Senior Colleagues.

(11) Uche Agbo; his case is similar to Awaziem. He's more experience than Awaziem at the Club level though, hence I think he's gonna be a reliable backup CB. He's technically gifted and his versatility is a Bonus to the Team.

I would like to suggest a 23-Man Squad for the World Cup solely based on personal observations.

Goalkeepers;

(1) Dele Aiyenugba; I pick him as my first Choice Goalkeeper because he's currently with a Club, he's the Number 1 Goalkeeper for the Club, he's a good Penalty Saver, and he's the most experienced aside from Enyeama.

Sometimes it baffles me why Aiyenugba is being snubbed for the Call up. He's ready to heed the Call and I think he deserves to be tried.

I would have picked Enyeama first, but it's unfair to select him based on past Glory. Enyeama needs to get a Club in January and proves himself fit and ready for the World Cup.

Also, another Reason I couldn't choose Enyeama is simply for the Team's sake. Is he coming to dethrone Mikel as the Captain, or Dudes think Mikel could relinquish the Captaincy to him?!

(2) Ikechukwu Ezenwa; he's definitely gonna be an outstanding and reliable Deputy. I think he's a good Lad, he's ready to learn and he's really improving, and I believe he's the next to take over the No. 1 Position after the World Cup.

(3) Dele Alampasu; I pick the Rookie simply to understudy the Senior Colleagues for Future's sake.

German-Nigerian Ace
Sarenren Bazee Pushing
To Be Fit For Eagles Debut
Against Algeria

https://i2.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IMG_3710.jpg

Hannover 96 German-Nigerian forward Joel
Noah Sarenren Bazee is back in training after
missing the last two months due to an injury
picked up during one of their pre season games.

Bazee has had a running battle with injuries the
last 18 months, and same demon reappeared
during Hannover 96 4-1 pre season win over
Germania Egestorf-Langreder.

He limped out of the pre season tie in the 71st
minutes and test conducted by the club later
confirmed he will be out for at least three
months with a ruptured tendon.

The injury has so far kept him out of this
season games for the newly promoted
Bundesliga side, but he is now on the way to
regaining full fitness and possible a debut for
Nigeria.

Owngoalnigeria.com checks on the team
training session can reveal that the 22 year old
took part in light training on Tuesday and
Wednesday as he continue to work his way to
full fitness.

Known for his explosive pace and abilities to
trade good passes, he trained alongside the
team physiotherapist and didn’t show any sign
of discomfort during the session.

He's almost a forgotten Player for the Eagles.

Humility017:
please to be honest I won't advise the federation to meld into this affairs...

It will destabilise the team and attract the wrath of Nigerians...
rather the management should grant him all supports and assistance he desires...

because getting a tactician to support him...will also be an avenue for the vultures in glass house and Senate and ministries to milk from the national treasury...
I can tell you...many are not happy seeing rohr head the SE
they had wish one indigenous coach had manage to qualify us...and then after the qualification that begin shop for a quack foreign coach...where them too can make some cool cash from the sheddy deals

Nice submissions from you bro, but I hope Rohr can prove himself tactically ready for the Tournament starting from the next Match, in the Friendly Games, AFCON Qualifiers and in the Tournament Proper.

Mujtahida:
I read Rohr yesterday saying he needs a good physiologist. Perhaps he's not aware of his need for a more astute tactical assistant.

Seem you expect him to request for a Tactician from the Board?! He would never ask the Federation to get him a tactics-Specialist coz he also believes in himself as a good Tactician.

However, there is difference between what's good for Rohr and what's good for the Team, thus I expect the Board to do the needful in this regard - the way they did with the recent Recruitment of a Keepers' Trainer.

Mujtahida:
Yes and we thank God for that SA defeat. It made our defeat of Cameroun possible cos had we defeated SA our pride would have gotten to olympian heights and would have ruined us. The defeat humbled him, made him reassess himself. Everybody needs help sometimes and Rohr should get one. I don't think Salisu is it too.

That's exactly my Point.

Mujtahida:
Goodjoe isn't it better Iwobi plays for us through the middle as an AM? He is too intelligent for us to play him from the wings. With Mikel and Onazi/Ndidi behind him that guy can make a beast out of your Nacho (although I still insist he's no CF as such)

It's better Iwobi plays as a AM, but it seems Rohr prefers Mikel in the Position.

Mujtahida:
On your first paragraph: have you not heard or experienced those average students in Nigeria who went to the UK and got first class? How come? What happened? I'm not saying Rohr is average or not. I am saying comparing him with others like Klinsmann or Leow is not it.(you didn't mention Klinsmann and Leow sha)

Ogu has been more like a fan on the bench. If he misses this World Cup again like he did 2014 he will madt oo. Biko

Lol!

Did you remember the South Africa Match?! That's where Rohr's tactical weakness was exposed.

Hence, I'm skeptical he won't be more exposed at the Tournament except with the Help of a tactically sound Assistant.

I'm ain't saying Rohr is a bad Manager, he's indeed a very good Manager, but my point is; he needs more than Salisu Yusuf to excel tactically in Russia.

Tactically, except we are fooling ourselves, Rohr is an average Coach. He's a kinda Coach that so much believe in Players discipline and commitment on the Pitch.

A kinda Coach that would psyche up his Players to get the job done anyhow they deem fit. If we really wanna excel in Russia, I think a tactically sound Assistant Manager needs to be hired to replace Salisu Yusuf.

On the Players selection for the World Cup; I think the List made by Forgiveness is almost perfect, except Ezenwa should replace Akpeyi, and Ogu makes way for Ajagun. Onazi, Ndidi, Agu, Joel Obi, even Mikel Obi and Etebo can play either DMF or CM, hence at least a natural AM is needed in the Team.

I wouldn't mind if Nwakali is listed for the Tourney to understudy the Senior Colleagues at the expense of Joel/Agu.

joeace2020:
Honestly i used to think any need for this? Until one day i was arguing with someone and i quoted what Mourinho and some united players said and we had to search online to verify those quotes before i won the guy flawlessly. It was then i realized na here i see am. Othertimes he helps us keep to football when we are drifting into other meaningless discussions. keep up the good work Oasis007.

If the majority [Members of the Thread] consent to posting of the full Quotes, I think you gonna have to enjoy it as well.

I didn't notice you've switched back to the main Account.

I think what Funlord2 is implying is; I shouldn't be dropping all their Quotes, rather pick and drop the most intriguing Part(s) of the Quotes.

He's not condemning the Job(s) I'm doing on the Thread, only asking for a debatable part of the Quotes. I fully understand his Point, also I appreciate everyone for the Compliments.
