Clementoke:
These guys no just get shame at all

Rohr better thread carefully, this is Africa!! What he cant do in his Franco-German country he shouldn't attempt it in my father's land.

safarigirl:
Who dem be? How many games have they played under Rohr in 2019? You come even put Azubuike, to play what? When last did Azubuike play for the senior team?

Is it AM that Ndidi is playing?

I obviously stated that the midfield options were low for a reason, because if we are being sincere, we only have four midfield options. The others are trial and error for now, they only remember them for standby list at best.

I am not concerned about who is in the team or not because things can change really fast. However, I know who will not be playing the defensive midfield position whether they have become a Methuselah in the team or not. These players are Etebor, Aribo , Azzeze and Iwobi. Ultimately, I am concerned about what position a player is available to play...Agu and Okechukwu are not under any trial and error...they have both played their and proved effective. And if Ndidi is not available Rohr will be forced to invite both or Esiti. Capish?

Whether you guys like it or not Azubike/Agu are the legitimate deputy to Ndidi....Mmadu aburo Chukwu bu afa mmadu...lol

We need to understand that the reason behind Etebor's erratic decisions and movements in the midfield is because be is being played out of position. Nigga just runs about chasing every ball , steals and runs recklessly without positional awareness...just like a kid left alone in a candy store he grabs and licks at everything. I will not play Aribo in DM when Okechukwu and Agu are there.

safarigirl:
every midfield

As it stands, Ndidi, Iwobi and Aribo are the only ones with actual certain positions in the midfield, then Etebo. Technically, we have just four midfielders

Agu , Azzeze and Azubike kwanu ? I know you are not planning to play Aribo, Iwobi or Etebor in the DM. You and I know Etebo is not a DM

safarigirl:
I am concerned by our incredibly limited midfield options

Attacking midfield ?

Godons1:
No be their fault, the East is hardly on the news for a good reason. This is the only good news from that part of the Country, in recent months. All we've been hearing is, Kidnapping Northern Children's to the East, Robbery, Scams, Fake stuff and their Yahoo Billionaires.

So, i Congratulate them today on this laudable achievement.

Butt hurt...you opened useless thread everyday including the one that says Yoruba are the most educated...lmao

Blueelf:
Mikel is different from Aribo.

Mikel is note calm and calculating while Aribo is more of a box to box MF

Mikel is NOT calm ? I thought that was his strength

chrisooblog:
agree especially the point you make in your second paragraph about not playing etebo or ndidi together. infact it's no longer breaking news that their combination at the AFCON was why our midfield transitions weren't so smooth which proofed ultimately costly against the algerians. etebo for now should be a backup for ndidi incase of injury or loss of form. both should only be on the pitch at the same time when we want to park the bus

It will be hard pressed to have Rohr play a non DM in the presence of abundant quality DM.

Blueelf:
Oga, no need for the belligerence. I bus pointed out something without any ulterior motive. Papa Aribo

You no see as I ignored him.

chrisooblog:
etebo is most definitely better than numbers 5-7

Etebor is not a DM...he is a makeshift. Thus , the placing. That's the complex we must remember.

Blueelf:
Oh, yes, I forgot we have Ramon Azeez now
My bad. That makes it two reliable CMs on the bench. Not bad

And , yes , with Azzeze pushing for a starting position Etebor really need to up his game. Because 1; he is not a DM and Mikel Agu and Azubike will start ahead of him , 2; Aribo and Azzeze are natural midfielder/CM who are seemingly ahead of Etebor. Etebor need to straighten up, really fast.

I heard it very delicious but I dont have the courage to try....I hope that doesn't make me a bigot. The meal look one kind shaa. I hardly eat food made by another woman much less amala made by somebody I dont know. Mbanu!

Blueelf:
Apart from his goal, nothing really special here

I think Aribo is a good inclusion but I kind of laugh when people imply he is indispensable. I will like to see him play more against African opponents to get a complete assessment. Without any doubt Aribo has an eye for goal and maybe an edge over Etebor in passing ability but Etebor is a workhorse. I wish Etebor can improve his passing game ,perhaps , that will encourage the coach to push him further where he actually belongs. Etebor and Iwobi are not midfielders.

However, I think playing Etebor and Ndidi is a bad combination because here are two very energetic players who want to contest for a every ball and tackles-duels. This is a problem because there must be a sort of moderator for that midfield to gell. This is why Mikel-Onazi combination worked so well. Its always chaotic whenever you have Ndidi and Etebor playing at the same time. Aribo, on the other hand is much calmer and a natural midfielder unlike a convert like Etebor who started off as an attacker.

Blueelf:
Yea God help you

Wouldn't want to hear that you blew yourself up in a London Store. Do away with the hate

I am not a terrorist, even though I have no business with England.

Eartquake1:
Because Three lions are not good players?

They are still better than us in all departments

With the right attitude we will annihilate those sissies. Thanks to their league standards , otherwise England would have become our eternal concubine not even wify

Blueelf:
yea, that's true. Forgot to add them

I swear I can't stand that team...I probably hate that country...God help me.

somehow:
He served 5 matches already out of 12 and still expected to complete the commuted sentence accordingly.

A player beat a ref and only got 1-year suspension a few days ago, Ali was not physical and there were no injuries sustained by anyone that day.

Condoling it? no, does he deserve to serve the 12 match ban? yes. does he deserve a pardon? yes based on precedence.

As you said, they should set stricter rules, then we can ask them to stick to their law.

Any coverage for the league this season ?

TheSuperNerd:
Madagascar.... So that we can carry out a proper surgical operation on them this time.

Hehehehehe **laughs evil laugh**

Imagine Mada-ffucking-gascar. Super Eagles must rip their hearts out before I chill.. . With Osimhen and Chukwueze as the chief vampires!

Blueelf:
TOP 5 FRIENDLIES I WOULD LIKE THE SUPER EAGLES TO FEATURE IN THE NEXT AVAILABLE WINDOW

1 Algeria: Well, they beat us and in grand/embarrassing style. I don't mind playing them away. It would be an interesting battle between talented attackers on both sides. We should watch out for Mahrez and render him impotent this time

2 Portugal: They are a very tactical side who adjusts based on their opponents.I personally expect them to get to the Semi-Finals of Euros 2020. It's been said that C. Ronaldo scores well against teams within our position (FIFA ranking). I doubt he would get 2 goals against us though. This match would expose our young crop of players to world class football. Since we did well against Ukraine and Brazil, I expect us to do well against them too. Truth is, the players we should actually watch out for is Jao Moutinho and Benardo Silva.

3 Senegal: Games against them go either way. Mane is phenomenal and Koulibaly is a rock in the hear of their defense and no wonder both has been selected in the shortlist for Balloon Dór. Their midfield is also quite compact and they are quite physical too. Should we win, i don't expect it to be more than a goal margin

4 Argentina: Our perennial foes. Our bane in most World cups. Truth is, I love when we play them. They bring out the best in our defence. However, I feel we could have beaten them many times in the times past had we gotten our tactics and player selection right. I want us to play an in form Icardi and Di-Maria with an out of form defence lol. Should be an interesting match. I predict over 2.5 (lmao)

5 JAPAN: Very fast side which Klopp would be happy to coach as they can run for 90 mins non stop without tiring. Talented players like Takashi Inui, Shinji kagawa, Takefusa Kubo, Okazaki et al should keep our defence on their toes. I feel their Midfield is the most talented (compared with other areas of the team) and the battle will be won and lost there. I expect a win from us though.

Feel free to add yours people

Meanwhile, I can't wait for Super Eagles to rape Three Lions...My joy will know no bounds.

pazienza:
It's now part of greater Asaba. Just as Nkpor, Obosi, Parts of Ogidi, Ogbaru, Oze, are now part of greater Onitsha.

Oh, only parts of Ogidi ? Why not all of Ogidi like you included Ogbaru , Nkpor , Oze and Obosi ? Chelu ka Ike Obosi nweta yi

Truth is that Adepoju , a player I loved because of his amazing technicality , however, he had depreciated was chosen based purely on sentiment. Tiger faced Onigbinde e even defended this decision,unashamedly...

Afolabi...chai, my grandmother can even nutmeg this ole...another shocking inclusion. Had no business being there.

Opanunmi, his addition almost caused a revolution but high chief stood his ground.

Listen, make we just respect ourselve here...Keshi is an African and Nigerian football Legend. In fact, to me the greatest Nigeria footballer and you MUST reapect him!!

Anybody that called Mr. failure Onigbinde an unbiased and sincere man but open their same disgusting mouth to call Keshi a bigot/tribalist/corrupt is a big demented ffool...and ffuck your entire generation in addition to that!

Reeling out Eastern players Onigbinde invited as if he was doing anybody a favor is an insult to my intelligence. Onigbinde had no choice but to invite Eric Ejioffor the best defender in the league at the time with the glorious Enyimba Fc, John Utaka was just too good and nobody was close to his form at Lens of France.

Akwuegbu was one of the hottest striker in Austria for close to 3 season and this was a highly skillful player.

Enyeama of the Champions League winning Enyimba was the very best in the local scene....Muri Ogunbiyi who was the most technical and skillful player in the league who also player for Enyimba Fc just ahead of the madly all action Onyekachi Okonkwo was not invited because he chose to play for Benin republic.

Justice Christopher bar injury was a beautifully playing DM. The only better DM then was Oliseh who was banned by NFA....Injury ended my nigga's career. Kind of the same thing that happened to Onyekachi Apam.

if u want to atack him for d inclusion of opabunmi while not atack him for including Eric orjiofo,benediction akwuegbu,Christopher justice and Vincent enyeama too

So, what were Opanunmi and Adepoju doing there ?

forgiveness:
At that time, they were among the best we had. How come you're too slow to understand? Perhaps, your ethnocentric nature is at work.

They were better than Onazi and Mike ? Did you miss your meds ? And how come you were not here crying blood when Rohr ignored Onyekuru and kept inviting ineffective Simon....I didn't hear your famous wailing,perhaps you couldn't reason beyond ethnic sentiments

Good for Samu, he must keep working on his final ball !

forgiveness:
Awoniyi with a miss.

Of course, he would miss isnt misses his second name. Nigga can't score to save his life !

forgiveness:
And they played for Dynamic Kiev and Panathiakos then? What does an ethnocentric know?

And those clubs were some of the best clubs in Europe ? No. No Super Eagles coach ever invited them because they were below required standards. I think it was Oliseh that once invited Haruna or one of those your blodas...lol. Those guys have been assessed by different Super Eagles coaches and the verdict was not good for them.

If they were any good why aren't they painting Europe red with scintillating performances ? They have all fizzled out abi is Keshi you Yorubas accused of tribalism and corruption still the Super Eagles coach ? Leave matter for Matthias.

forgiveness:
Haruna and Ajagun can play anywhere in the mildfield.

Those guys didn't measure up. Even Onigbinde with all his tribal sentiments wouldn't invite them.

darkelf:
Oga, you have no point

Stop defending mediocrity. Big man or small man...Keshi was biased and corrupt

What about your grandfather, High Chief Onigbinde

Humility017:
imagine this words from a coach...
Jose is a top class coach sha

Jose Mourinho has my deepest respect, particularly for his respect for African players. He has the blessings of the motherland.

iSlayer:
Onuachu comes in on 45', scores on 55'. 10 minutes man.

He did it in Denmark and he continued with Belgium....congrats boy. You cant pull a person God has blessed down...haha

Humility017:
yes he has never won a plastic cup...but he is better more transparent than 3 of the named coaches up there....
even one is currently a match fixer for now not until proved innocent....

oga rohr is better because as a super eagles coach 50-70% of your job is done when you invite and field in the right and true players...that only emanate from a fair and transparent team selection
which many of the indigenous coaches lack

So, Rohr is the first coach to introduce transparency to Super Eagles? Has the phantom transparency helped him to win any trophy ? The answer is no. Until you proved how this audio transparency has helped Nigeria to win trophies I suggest you save me the noise. If your reformation is not bringing any positive change what is the essence of it.

I am pretty much done with this topic because apparent you lot have no proof of your claims just typical Nigerian noisemakers! You cant defend your position , Nigga! So far , Rohr has failed with the best set of talent since '94 and '98 squad !
