Osim Baba is an African, we are naturally stronger and faster than Caucasians, therefore Osimhen's energy should not be questioned. Maybe I am biased but when was the last time a white person won 100m race in track and field....abeg , make them test that Italian!

You still can't compare his form then to Musa now.

chrisooblog:
You make a fair point but the fact of the matter is the Yobo of 2014 was already undergoing diminishing returns just like Musa is right now but we still included them for their experience and standing in the team.

If Musa eventually gets his 100 caps I will still salute him because he has been a great servant to Nigerian football. Will I completely say he has nothing left in the tank? Who knows but remember pre-2018 WC Musa was on an awful run of form guy was even playing in the reserves of Leicester City but he turned out being our best player at the world cup in russia.

By current form Musa shouldn't be in the squad but we all know inclusion in national team squads all over the world is not always as straight forward as that.

Wrong replacement, Iwobi is the main source of creativity in Nigeria's midfield and he has no replacement currently in the Super Eagles team, the midfield is thin and he's being replaced with a striker. When Obinna Nwobodo or even Kelechi Nwakali could have been called up as a replacement. This is Rohr in his vintage daft mode.

Ihenzy:
Terem Moffi called up to replaced injured Alex Iwobi

Rohr be like Buhari. You go complain tire, he will remain stuck in his ways.

What a coincidence!

Falconets U20 play CAR in return leg at Lagos on 6th October
Super Eagles also play CAR in first leg at Lagos on 7th October

IDENNAA:



Nwakali and Amoo can play that role , especially when we are short of options in that area. And, please don't come with the usual stale argument you guys pull when you have not point to make, because Nwakali and Amoo are currently playing for their respective clubs. If you can invite inactive players and players in lowly rated leagues then you have no reason to ignore Nwakali and Amoo.

By the way I have a funny feeling akinkunmi amoo might end up in Barca.
Reason is they are in debt and will buy him as he is a cheap option they can easily develop

How Obinna Nwobodo (Green) compares with Innocent Bonke (Blue)
Data from SofaScore

Talk about like-for-like replacement. Eze (blue) still edges Iwobi (green) in creativity, technique and attack. Only if he would come to us. lol

Now let's put Ejaria (blue) in the mix.
They are pretty much at par, not considering Ovie plays in a lower division.

SofaScore Attribute Overview

The graph takes into consideration the strength of the league as well. While more weight is given to the most recent season, the previous season is also taken into account.

Lookman (Green) or Simon (Blue), who is a more complete player? ?

Is Onyeka the man to replace Ndidi? Going by the pentagon chart, Onyeka offers similar completeness except for being inferior defensively and tactically (position-related stats).

Zaidu Vs Collins.

See what the stats say about Sanusi's weaknesses

Based on the same completeness comparison tool, courtesy of SofaScore, Rohr has picked our best forwards in Osimhen, Onuachu and Iheanacho. It's a no brainer though. lol

Na wa .

The our midfield is too thin, Rohr for invite X and Y crowd, una don crawl out of una holes again. Na CAR we dey play make una no forget.

This is a complete osimhen

This is football anything can happen, didn't minnows Sheriff Tiraspol win Real Madrid at the Bernabeu? You don't have to take chances when your three of your main midfielders won't be around to play. Ndidi, Iwobi and Etebo won't be around, you need to like for like replacements if their are any around.

It seems Rohr doesn't fancy much midfielders as the defender that he was...What is wrong,can't he find any other midfielder to replace Iwobi?
There is Nwakali, Alhassa Yusuf,and more midfielders that can be brought in as replacement,but instead he invited another forward leaving the midfield very thin with not much options to choose from.
The way he chokes up the defense and attack,why can't he choke the midfield like that.

It isn't just about CAR... This midfield issue has persisted for too long...

Since the end of the Mikel/Onazi era in the midfield, Rohr has made some baffling choices in that area.
He has refused to bring in more options preferring to stick to just a few players despite pretty good alternatives and a lack of balance in that department.
With Etebo reportedly set to miss the AFCON I am sure Poorman's Onigbinde
will stun Nigerians with his AFCON list.

Rhor wants to use 442, so he believes he doesn't need a lot of Midfielders.

But yet, he should have replaced Iwobi with a Midfielder. And please, nobody should say there are no midfielders. Look at the scenario of Kingsley Michael, he doesn't deserved the call up back then but he came out good. Nwakali in all sincerity should have been called to replace Iwobi or even any other Midfielder in any league. Look at Denmark and some European countries, they don't care which club you're playing for, just deliver.

Belgium dey call Praet, Bashuayi, Benteke and even players from Belgium league.

We are knew that Kingsley Michael doesn't deserved the call up then. Or does he?

But now, he has shown he is a very good player. Why not call Nwakali (at least he plays regularly for his club now), Nwobodo, Alhassan(if not injured). Some of us here sef Sabi scout for players pass Rhor.

If he doesn’t reach the finals or win the ANC, he has to go. Since the coach wants to compromise sentiments with selection then his selections better make a statement

Ndidi out with a hamstring injury, this is his 3rd hamstring under Rodgers

� lol. You are very funny. However, how will you feel if some one called you a daft? We should try to refrain from using insulting words. Rohr is an elderly man at least if he doesn't deserve any respect , respect his age and his progress he has made so far in his career and in SE.
Thanks

Very easy to criticize until you are in the position of power then you will not it is another world entirely.

Calling him daft is a stretch. He has delivered so far....

TheSuperNerd:
Not trying to defend Musa's continuous call to the NT which is obviously to ensure he bags beyond 101 caps and set a new NT caps record but I only want to correct the fallacy below.

Ahmed Musa has started 6 league games for Fatih Karagümrük before today. Today, he is in action again from the start (7 starts in 7 league games) and have already bagged an assist with his side up 3-0 after 40mins+.

Musa is no bench warmer in Turkey and Fatih is not the worst side in Turkey.

With those said and corrected, yes, I understand we have better players than Musa going forward but as he is Captain, it is always gonna be hard sidelining him. The politics of the Glasshouse are in his favor. An almost every Skipper of the Super Eagles have been given special treatment in one or more forms from Keshi to Oliseh to Okocha, to Kanu, to Yobo, to Mikel and now to Musa.

But note this, Musa averages 86mins per game in Turkey. He is no benchwarmer.

Nice one Boss. I just like the way you use to analyze situations with facts. Some dude here are more attached to some players more than the other. They are bias in the way they reasoned even if you explain to them they won’t be able to see or listen because that thing call BIAS don block their eye and ear.

Truidstar:

Sorry for the misconception of my words

I call him daft as result of his tactical deficiency and ineptitude not as a person when it comes to the round leather game....reading games and composition of team players i dont see him as smart in that regard

Sorry if my words was misinterpreted

I called him daft because he is tactical deficient
His team tactics and arrangements is not smart

Looking at that Team where is the creativity from the middle gonna come from And our wingers barely make good crosses with kind of field we play on in Africa....meaning thecreativity gonna be low and mind u if care is not taken he will take this same line up to afcon


And concerning your last paragraph, you missed it power, riches dont change people it only unmask them, it reveal their strengths and weaknesses the lame assumption that someone would do worse if entrusted with power is a fallacy that dont always sway ..... sometimes people who criticise poor decisions could do better or worse if entrusted with the opportunity so do have an open mind Sir
