Mickael2:
the simple truth here is that Etebo is going to play in midfield, Mikel too. The last spot is between Onazi and Ndidi, I don't need to tell y'all who my choice would be but the coach decides anyways so not my problem really.

the two wingers will definitely be VicMo and Musa/Moses, Musa will most definitely start, take that to the bank.

Nacho will still start as the CF. in fact we are going to see that formation against Algeria all over again with the same players, well maybe except for Onazi and Iwobi but the rest will be the same. I wouldn't be surprised if I see Ndidi at right back again, remember the Cameroonians are tall and do score from set pieces, this was the main reason why Ndidi started against Zambia anyways so I don't think that will change

Yea,Etebor will start from the midfield but where in the midfield that's the question.

If Rohr hasn't learnt anything about Iheanacho then I am sorry to say he is over hyped. Iheanacho is not a point man.

P.S. Iheanacho need to work on his first touch and I will be watching closely....Nigga need to seat up.

Mikel "ODOGWU" is in town. No matter how you feel about him Mikel brings an air of optimism in the team. He has grown to become a cult figure in the team.

Icon4s:
You want to start Awaziem at RB? No room for wild experiments in this game.

Remember what happened the last time we played Ndidi at RB?

It takes an experienced member of the team to switch positions like that. Like Omeruo playing RB against Algeria. Like also Shehu playing RB which is not his primary role (although he has played mostly RB for Nigeria than DM). Leon Balogun can also play RB. But not a newbie like Awaziem especially in a match of this calibre.

Plus I will pick Ndidi in the DM role over Onazi.
With Iwobi out I would move Etebo to LWF and play an Ndidi - Onazi (CM) midfield pair.

People clamouring for Mikel at CM, we need his creativity more in the AM position.
To unlock a stubborn defense you need very creative players in the AM/ Wing positions and Mikel is the most creative amongst our Midfielders.

Talking about Ezenwa, where were you when he was being treated like a piece of trash here. At least some of us stood up for Akpeyi.

Playing Awaziem at RB is not as risky as starting him at CB, because you can accommodate some risk at RB but same can't be said for CB who is mostly the last man. Awaziem can't do the job,all he need it confidence. Right now ,Omeruo is not on the list and Shehu is not one of my favourite player....Dude bores me to sleep. Ndidi is not a natural defender ,henceforth,you can't compare him to a natural defender like Awaziem.

I play from the defensive midfield position and spread passes satisfactorily and do the combative defensive midfield job BUT within myself I know I am a natural full back.

Though I don't have any problem playing Mikel in the AM but the job cant be left for him alone because he is not the most creative. We need Iheanacho there for crisp and quick decision making.

Nwanne, how can you forget so soon. I have always stood in defense of Ezenwa because I know his capabilities. I believe in him...Never being a fan of Akpeyi.

Kog45:
pls can u explain why Ezenwa in goal and Awaziem as RB and d absence of Ndidi in d line up

Firstly,I have always known Ezenwa is a better keeper because I followed him in the local league. He is the quickest and more intelligent out of the three invited. I never really cared for Akpeyi because of this air of jittery around him. And going by Ezenwa's excellent performance at the CHAN qualifier I believe he has the momentum.

Hate or love him ,Onazi is more experienced,very dependable and has proven himself more on super eagles shirt that the newbie,Ndidi. On this premise,I will start him ahead of Ndidi . In addition to that,Onazi excel when Mikel is present. P.S I will start Ogu ahead of Ndidi maybe because Ndidi rubbed me off the wrong against South Africa.

I forgot we have Ola Aina but I am not a big fan of English groomed players. Awaziem is a true Naija and gets it and the whole mentality. Shehu is sitting on a thin ice...Don't care much for him.

No need to complicate things. I will keep it simple.

.......................................Ezenwa.....................................


Awaziem...............Ekong.Balogun......................Echiejile.


........................................Onazi...........................................

.......................................Mikel............................................

V.Moses...................Iheanacho..............................Etebor
......................................Ighalo............................................



Nwakaeme will come in for Ighalo,Ndidi for Onazi depending on how things go.

Why should Joel Obi be invited when we have Ajagun and Raheem Lawal....lol

Nepotism is different from favouritism.
People need to stop deceiving themselves because we are not fools. Forgiveness is a latent tribalist and WE all know that!

.

Anybody in camp yet ?

Mickael2:
which Ighalo?! Good lawd, Ighalo skilful and tricky?! Ighalo?!!!!!

Yes,Ighalo has skills. I have watched him and the glimpses are there. Watch the Egypt game and talk to me.

ofai:
Achebe who condemned how criminal anambra state had become?

Achebe who had his formative years in Umuahia?

Why am I even responding to this sicko?

You are very ignorant. Achebe didn't have his formative years in Umuahia,he only went to high school in Umuahia. He was born and raised in Anambra and speak pure Omanbala dialect.
Yes,at some point Anambra was ran by rogues but today its a different story.

do4luv14:
seriously I don't know what IGHALO offence is that make some resent him like that,

I blame our coaches who does not always play to our players strength, hence the struggles on national duty, and shines on club duty,



#Fact

Ighalo is a quality player who should be an example to our younger strikers. I have watched that AFCON qualifier against Egypt so many times and to be fair Ighalo put in some serious work there. He might not be the most clinical but he got the technique. Rohr need to work with his style.

Ighalo is a quality player any day and shouldn't be written off. I will start an inform Ighalo ahead of a fluttering Kelechi. I have high hopes for Kelechi and I still believe be can become a world class but HE NEEDS TO WORK ON HIS FIRST TOUCH!

zicky:
Everything is not about goals for a striker, btw what else does ighalo contribute, Nacho even have more assist. I don't want to believe you're just bias I want Ighalo in the team also bt don't discharge Iheanacho with the proven striker stuff.

Ighalo is a strong attacker with tricks and skills and his hold up play is phenomenal. He will be a handful to the Cameroonians. Iheanacho,though a lethal struggles with establishing his presence. Most times his first touch is depressing and lets him down.

Icon4s:
Ezenwa has been receiving some love.
Just because of that Benin game.

This was a goalie that was totally washed here and some didn't give him a chance to even make the CHAN Team.

Interesting.

My brother,nothing wey man no go see. When things are going well for you many people will become your friend.

Why do I keep hearing Kayode deserves to be invited when Ighalo is in form. Kayode has been to camp twice and I believe that enough time to access his abilities and he didnt blow our mind. One of those fringe player,probably will never shoulder Super Eagles attacking responsibilities.
Ighalo is a strong,skillful and a better hold-up player than Kelechi with more experience. Ighalo should be a mainstay in the team.
Nwakaeme needs to be accessed to decide if he belongs there or not.

[quote author=ofai post=59728964]Coward you are noticed.

Losers and Saboteurs[/quo

I don't care what you think about me because I don't value your opinions. My only concern is what happens in my father land,Omanbala. Leave my state and take your madness to wherever you came from. We can't condone lawlessness in our fatherland.

pazienza:
So, Obiano has gotten this desperate that he would resort to do divide and conquer Ndiigbo?

He even got emotional and started talking about being an Aguleri man , Like what is that supposed to mean? Aguleri is a great Igbo town and her Igbo people would always stand for Igbo renaissance, which Biafra represents.

Obiano is fighting a losing battle, he is like a man on a quick sand, the more he struggles, the more he sinks. He should accept his fate in good faith.

Ndiigbo as a people had rejected the current Nigerian set up. Any one who would not align to any cause aimed at reseting Nigeria, is an Enemy within, and would eventually find themselves on the wrong side of history.

Its about time we put a name to this madness. Nnamdi Kanu has over stepped his boundaries. That bastard went over the EZE NRI and met the Adama who took him to NRI shrines to pray. This is an aberration.
Anambra needs to move forward and we don't want anybody who will create crisis in our state.

MXrap:
Now you are talking. The same report vindicated Onitsha and listed 2 of your town in Abia state- Aba and Umuahia as the most polluted town in the entire globe. There's no place worse than Aba in the world. FACT.

Don't let him drag you into his rubbish and beat you with dirt. Learn how to handle fools.

ofai:
Last time we checked anambra (Onitsha particularly) was the most polluted place on Earth.

So be it but leave us at that. Don't destabilize our polity.
We have come a long way in state building and we are on course. Please,carry your trash and move to your home state.

I just don't see myself identifying with IPOBS when they are running uncontrollable in my state and defying the orders of our traditional institution. Now ,Nnamdi Kanu is bringing his trash of uncivilized and ignorant street urchins thinking he is gonna succeed in Anambra.

Yyeske:
I am from Awka and I go with my governor

And I equally stand with Akpokuedike Aguleri!

Joebie:
Why are we talking about Olaitan. Please someone should update me about the lad. Maybe i'm not current.

Basically,he plays in one obscure league and scored few goals and now he is suddenly the hottest thing since hot cake.

I just dey look them.

All these locally groomed coaches sef. Why can't Amunike be reappointed.

TheGoodJoe:
Kelechi Iheanacho has good ball control. His only challenge in that aspect when he is under pressure. He is a brilliant talent, monitored for years by quality scouts. Club will always want him, especially with his brilliant finishing attribute.

It seems you did not watch his brilliant thigh control in the U17 game against Mexico after Yahaya sent him a long pass.

There was space and he took that ball down with ease.

Nnaa,how can you have a good ball control without a stable first touch and to make things worse you are a danm striker. One of the most important feature of a striker is that first touch. You can't be world class if you are a good finisher without a good ball control. Kelechi should be more concerned with his first touch than starting a game.

Lol at Kelechi Iheanacho famous bad first touch. Why would a professional player struggle with a simple first touch ? Kelechi will be doomed soon as people find out he can't keep a ball down,no club will sign him. Kelechi needs a lot of work.

Kenyans getting enslaved in their own country. They write in their language before English which is even written in smaller letters.

Its apparent that the purported golden generation has almost failed to live up to their expectations. Iheanacho who is the the most promising is almost lost in the mix,Awoniyi is playing in what is barely a tier higher than NPFL,Isaac Success is languishing on the bench ,Nwakali is no where near his the pitch etc. Something is fundamentally wrong with our football development....Iheanacho is still struggling with his first touch which is grim. Our boys don't get the basics.

mumemma:
nope

I would excuse him with the current squad but he must surely be invited in subsequent fixtures. Joel Obi is a natural attacking midfielder and you don't have a better player.

junnyjake:
Their inability to deliver brilliant performances CONSISTENTLY.

They need a thorough orientation before they leave our shores.

Yet,with all our abundance of talents none of our players is playing regularly in a top European club ,except for Ndidi.
What is wrong with us ??
