CLT123:
Smh without Simon Moses we will be down to one backup winger. How can a team go into the world cup with only 3 wingers? Imagine if Moses or Iwobi gets injured...

Simon would be a big loss.

Like I said before some many pages back Ighalo can play from the wing and so is Etebor while Simmy plays CF

O pari

For once I can say England has what it takes to win the world cup because there is is something different with this current team....Skills and creativity

MetalJigsaw:
Onyekuru game changer? on what premise??

Onyekuru can do magic with the ball in his feet but I really don't care much for him because he is another Victor Moses and want the glory all to himself. Gosh, I hate selfish players and individuals in general that's why I love Lionel Messi

safarigirl:
nonsense

Two scans in Uyo and Abuja have rules him out, but oga/NFF want to be stubborn and go to London, for what?

Even if the London scan doesn't rule him out entirely, he will probably be on the sidelines long enough to miss two games, so, why must he occupy space nitori olorun?

Or even be on the bench for the entire duration of the tournament. Who takes an injured player to a tournament that lasts a month?

krattoss:
I can imagine this dudes desperation..

But seriously eeehh, I think some injuries are highly exaggerated.. Cos even in my local league, I know some folks who play with knocks, and injuries for days maybe weeks..
I know it's kinda dangerous but I think a kind of medicine or drug can be injected to keep him going for some time.. If he is that important oo

But if you understand the human body and how the tissues that make it up work you would understand that the best thing to do after an injury is not to further aggravate the injury

TheSuperNerd:
That is why I say Abuja was in the picture. I don't know what final decision was made. Whether to do it in Abuja or do it in London. I know some medical facilities in Abuja have MRI naa. But against... It is their call. And MRU get grades... F-MRI is not so common in Nigeria.

The whole ish is that the initial scan done was an ultrasound scan. And even for me... I don't rate such scan. It will not pick up every detail. It's detectability capacity has a limit.

Though I don't rate Simon Moses really high and will do away with him if I were the coach but I understand he was part of the team and played a tangible role in helping to qualify the Eagles but I don't like the fact that somebody thinks there is a gang up to get him dropped.

TheSuperNerd:
It is not Simon causing Anything. It is the NFF and Rohr who insist on getting a second opinion and I think that is fine. The scan that certified hum injured and ruled out for three weeks was done with an ultrasound but now they want to do it with MRI (F-MRI to be precise). Hence there is need for that second medical opinion since MRI is far more sensitive and proven compared to Ultrasound.

I am hearing they may do it in Abuja. At a top reputable faciltut with great functional MRI or they may take it to London. Time will tell. Personally, I want Simon Moses on that WC plane. But if not... Then I just have to live with his absence. It is painful to see Simon miss out. Really painful for me.

So, MRI can't be done in Nigeria ?

forgiveness:
Simon-Moses must do scan in London before any decision is taken on him.

Lokosa was just to cover face. He was never in Rohr's plan.

Ezenwa must be the first choice goalkeeper. That's a good one.

Simon is not going to the world cup just like Kayode, Ajagun and Aluko...Cry me a river!

Why is Simon Moses trying to cause problems by insinuating there is conspiracy against him. And what is the difference between a scan done in Nigeria and one done in London...smh

MetalJigsaw:
And this could also be one of our strongest squads ever. (based on merit, talent, ambition, and determination)
And the 'toughness' of the group could even eventually turn out to be only on paper if Rohr leads his pack to Russia with the right tactics and his thinking cap firmly placed in his bag of ideas.

If teams like Peru, Iceland can hand Croatia defeat. If Mexico, though not a small team could pummel Iceland 3-0, Then I'm confident.

It should be easy for anyone to observe that Whenever we have Mikel, Moses, Ndidi, Ighalo, and probably our CB duos, Troost and Balogun, other highly telnted alternates on the bench, we rarely struggle. In fact, we generate goals.

If we could squeeze defeat down the throats if Poland in their own homeland, and the highly rated Albiceleste (Argentina), then I'm confident.

I recently watched Iceland and those Eskimos are not to be played with...They are very good with the ball on their feet and very tidy. Cohesion top notch, aerial ability is great and they are very disciplined.

KK50:
FIFA should allow Nigeria to go with 30 players. Nigeria should be allowed to field 12 men against Croatia and Argentina but that wont stop the massacre that will happen.

Can Mikel and any of those wack midfielders match Modric and Rakitic in the midfield? Can your full backs stop Perisic? Can your central defenders stop Manzukic?

Nigeria dont know what awaits them in Russia. You people have been mouthing off against England. On 2nd of june, you arrogant ignoramuses will be shut up.

Rashford, Sterling and Kane will eat you for dinner.

Run off!!

safarigirl:
if people have to defend Aina and Joel, then somebody should also be defending Etebo cuz he just seems like extra load.

Joel is probably even more useful.

I keep saying it, I will take Joel ahead of Etebor because I don't understand Etebor

oloriooko:
This dude is one pessimist full of blames, for goodness sake Lok has only played once for SE and was played out of his natural position and you expect him to wow you? Furthermore our dysfunctional league cannot produce wow players any longer unlike in the past.
So Ezeji should cut Lok some slack I beg

Victor Ezeji , one of the best to ever laced boots in the local scene

BascoVanVeli:
If his name and overlapping shouldn't be in the same sentence then how come he overlapped to make that goal?

My point you can't consider Shehu an overlapping asset based on a single effort...Overlapping is not his strongest attribute

BascoVanVeli:
How did we score the goal that took us to the World cup?

Was it only one goal that took us to the world cup. How can base an assessment on a single goal...lol

MetalJigsaw:
Una eye never clear reach? Mind yaself o.

What do you mean by this, oga mi?

Kenya ke?

Zambia, you know it was a typo

7. Ebuehi Not In Abdullahi’s Class In The Right-Back

The Benfica new signing is one of the highly rated defenders in the team, but on the basis of his showing against Dr Congo, didn’t prove he is good enough to pick a shirt ahead of the Bursaspor defender Shehu Abdullahi in the right-back position. Ebuehi lacked the calmness and overlapping abilities of Shehu.

Lol...Did anybody see this crap. Abdulahi and overlapping shouldn't be in the same sentence

BREAKING: Rohr Drops Akpeyi, Moses Simon, 3
Others

Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles Technical Adviser, on
Tuesday wielded the big axe as he dropped
Goalkeeper Daniels Akpeyi, injured Moses Simon,
Chidozie Awaziem, Kano Pillars Junior Lokosa and
Stephen Eze.
He will take recuperating Goalkeeper Carl Ikeme
to Russia as the unregistered 24th player.
25 players will leave for London on Wednesday
with two player remaining to be dropped. He will
name his 23-man list on June 4, two days after
England friendly. https://independent.ng/breaking-rohr-drops-akpeyi-moses-simon-3-others/amp/

He can't drop Awaziem and Eze at the same time.

Agbo is one lucky basstard...lol. I forgot he is still there and can play CB

somehow:
What exactly do you want? The list has been released and there is nothing you can do to add or remove from the 30 man list, so why not just move on and discuss just the names on the list?

After worldcup, you can suggest and clamor for another 30 man list of yours for Qatar 2022.

He no dey do you ni?

Haba.. You be market woman? Hope your wife sleeps with her headphones because i am just teying9to imagine what she goes through.. No vex o na joke o.

Ignore that nigga. The same players qualified us from the group of death that has Kenya, Algeria and Cameroon and somebody is asking how many strikers were invited....That question is really dumbb

elyte89:
Mention names bro ,...if not ur claim is just a mere allegation

I dont want to drag the issue.

Joebie:
Disciplinary action against who? Wike brought that game to PH, and Pinnick obliged without monitoring the progress of whatever was done to the pitch. An inspection should have been done 2 weeks prior to ascertain it’s state, before taking a final decision on the venue

Then Pinnick should get a suspension. That pitch is an embarrassment to the whole nation and that is because somebody didn't do their job.

Mujtahida:
I nearly blind looking at that clip.

That pitch they played in and video quality of the match just further highlight the shamelessness of Nigerian Football Federation. If I was the President disciplinary action must be taken. That was unacceptable in all grounds...I was enraged by the whole nonsense

Oasis007:
The Match should have been played in Uyo..... that's all I've got to say. I really can't blame the lackadaisical Performances of most of the Players, coz playing on a grazing Field is an arduous Task.

Though Joel was poor, so was Iheanacho and Co as well. Rohr shouldn't cut the List yet, he should rather wait till after Wembley Showdown.

I wanna see Joel, Agu, Simmy and Lokosa and perhaps Ajiboye for the last time, then we can come to fair Conclusions on either of Players. Had the Match played at Uyo, it would have been easy for Rohr to decide the 25-Man List.

No Player(s) has been officially dropped, all the Names People are reeling out are simply Speculations.

Don't act like you didn't know there were players that were bound to be dropped wether they shine or not except injury happens to the regulars. Lokosa ,Eze,Ajiboye were never gonna make the team to Russia.

Don't come here and make unsubstantiated claims you have nothing to back it up with. Orlu has no history nor tradition to be the origin of Igbo. I really don't want this thread to turn into Anambra vs whoever. You can open a thread in the culture section and I will join you there.

Omanbala di ugwu di ngala.

Humility017:
etebo better than Joel obi as CM anytime anyday...whenever he plays with mikel....he shines....
Joel is still rash with his tackles...and offer less offensively compare to etebo

Etebor is not better than Joel in the CM nor in the DM, though , Etebo gives more attacking option but he can be erratic with his attacking forays. Joel on the other hand is an old fashioned CM/DM with high level of discipline and concentration. Joel is just high energy as Etebor but more calculative

Joebie:
I would love to see both play either halves against England

Simmy and Ighalo are definitely our 2 top 9s and it will be foolhardy to drop either of them. Anybody suggesting Lokosa over Simmy is being unreasonable because Simmy has wealth of experience Lokosa can only dream of and has also played in one of the best league in the world with hard tackling defenders

PDPGuy:
My 23 will be:

Gks: Uzoho, Ajiboye, Ezenwa

Defenders: Ebuehi, Shehu, Awaziem, Omeruo, Ekong, Balogun, Idowu, and Aina.

Midfielders: Mikel Obi, Etebo, Onazi, Ndidi, Iwobi, John Ogu.

Attackers: V.Moses, Ighalo, Musa, S. Nwankwo, Iheanacho, Lokosa.
Yes, Lokosa will put up a decent performance against the English and that will propel him into the final squad

Your user name sucks...

tbaba1234:
My 23

Uzoho
Ezenwa
Ajiboye (but Rohr will take Akpeyi)

Omeruo
Ekong
Balogun
Awaziem
Idowu
Aina
Ebuehi

Shehu
Ndidi
Mikel
Onazi
Ogu
Etebo
Agu

Iwobi
Ighalo
V.Moses
Musa
Simy
Iheanacho

More like my preferred 23s. I really want to take Joel Obi and drop either Etebor or Agu but Simmy got to be on that list

I say it again, it will be hard for Rohr to drop Simmy Nwankwo, Lokosa or not. It seems he is better with his feet than head.
