Rohr shld invite dis guy and not 17year old German we havnt seen play undecided
the most important question is, even if Rohr invite Amoo, will he use him correctly, according to his strength,

we have players that had been balling week in/out, under sound tactical coaches,

yet, when they came for national duty, they kinda struggle to gel,

why is that

Ok here is how the SE should play IMO
I'm not a coach, but Ted Lasso is not a coach either grin
As for Rohr, he thinks he still coaching Niger, so

3 -5 -2

Goalkeeper
Maduka Okoye

Defenders
Troost Ekong
Balogun
<please insert a defender>

Midfield
Ndidi
Iwobi
Aribo
Moses Simon
Awaziem

Attack
Iheanacho
Oshimen

Sub
Ahmed Musa <last 10minutes if looking for a goal>

If they play this system and allow Iheanacho to set up Oshimen, like he does for Leicester, Oshimen will score multiple goals a game

Find a rugged defender to complement Oyingbo wall, will see us conceding less silly goals

Ok, pundits and analysts, what do y'all think?
If Moses Simon can make your starting XI, then there's a problem

Remove awaziem from the midfield 5 and put among the back 3 then you will replace him with Ebuehi as a RWB

Remove Moses Simon there and put OLA aina as a LWB

3-5-2 is ready

he never totally abandoned them like you claimed, you can't tell me you didn't know about the crises rocking the glass house then and pinnick him self hasn't stamp his foot in nff then because the giwa's case was still hanging on his neck, even at that he still travel to Chile to do the best he can to support the team. And the success today as something to do with him because he has done some commendable stuff to make the current super eagle better and appealing to some extent.
It was during amaju Pinicks tenure that the Olympic football team was abandoned. Mikel obi had to foot the bills.
Amaju pinick is a fraud

i already pointed it out he has his own flaws and he isn't perfect but trying to paint him bad or calling him fraud his not accepted, because he has done some commendable stuff for the team, all past nff presidents aren't Total saint's or doesn't have their own flaws pinnick will leave some day and their is no guarantee the person taking over will be perfect without his/her own flaws. Even the famous Atlanta 1996 Squad faced the Same issues you mentioned happened to the 2016 squad I listened to amokachi narrating their hudles on his brila FM show.

This upcoming AFCON may not be competitive. Teams that'll get eliminated in the 2nd round of world cup qualifiers may not feel motivated to play at all in the tournament.
The second round of the world cup qualifier is taking place in March after AFCON..
But to some extent, you are right... Some players may not be motivated enough to give their all during the tournament because of club commitment.. Fear of getting injured or playing too many games that will cost them their slot with their club ..

Is administration being in the stand? Even Kanu Nwankwo does more than that. It is about vision, continuity and support. Not going to the stands.

every time you come to my mention you always sound like a clown shocked all what you are telling me right now is that pinnick got no vision, continuity and support for the team undecided undecided undecided and him being in the stands is called what or you expect the media to point out what he gave to them after arriving in Chile or even the amunike you quoted because I have seen the article did he mention pinnick not doing anything to support.

I'm talking about the current round of qualifiers. Those who'll get eliminated may lose motivation to play at all at AFCON
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 12:18pm On Oct 26, 2021
I think they will be motivated. A vast majority of the teams that won't qualify for the next stage don't really have high expectations of qualifying for the WC unlike teams like Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt etc. that see qualification as a birth right. Even if any of the big teams miss out on the next stage you can bet they will want to use next year's AFCON to make up for the disappointment.

I never followed him around

If your eyes are wide opened you should see from his IG posts Elyte posted that he is currently in the UK with his 3 kids and wife for vacation and he snapped with some footballers and posted it

He also talked on Ademola switch been processed and also talk on Ighalo recall... this info released by him form the premise for my opinion and reason I opined is because I am a super eagles fan

Never u ever assassinate my person..... You're free to air your views here all i want for the super eagles is a creative and robust midfield because i believe thats the problem of the super eagles and not striking problem

Sometimes, I wonder how you lots think on this Forum sometimes??
So you want Pinnik to be showing/posting his everyday move on the internet for all to see??
If he goes to Mr. A, he snaps pictures and tell you.
Goes to Mr. B, snap pictures and post, abi?
If not for the pictures posted online would you know he was on visit to UK, talk less meeting with the players?
Be guided bro, something are better kept secret till they mature.
Just the same way he met Abraham...after those lengthy and assuring discussions, what was the outcome??
A man who calls himself a Man must have a level of decency coupled with oath of secrecy, that put you ahead of your peers.
You must be ignorant to see that he always posted pics of the footballers he hangs out with and in this case he did same

No one asked him of Ademola switch he revealed it himself, He also talked on Ighalo recall...politicians have learnt over time to blow their trumpets other wise people will think they're doinh nothing and may loose their popularity with time

I wrote my opinion from the information he released and state what he should have done or add to it......from the information he released it seems his understanding of super eagles problem is predominantly "strikers issues" which is not the case but a midfield issue in my opinion

You made good advise but your opinion too just like mine

Saying I sound like a clown will not give your point credence. I want Pinnick to stop the gimmick and get serious. He needs to get his head out of the celebrity life and get into utilisation of funds in a better way.

We need a well crafted development plan and continuity with it. We need to stop the politics of coach selections and give credible hands the jobs.

We need more work in football development.

We need to develop a formula for winning. Invest in few credible pitches. We need liaise with the sports ministry for Harmony.

Which kind of two million dollars clause in Rhor's contract. We need all these crap to stop.

So you can think calling clown will make you feel good. However, my problem is that I want Pinnick to do better.

So anyone that retires prematurely is not committed ?

I won't give him credit because we are yet to have gains from him. Our youth football took a big hit under him. Same with female football. Both senior and young.

His selection is still politicized and his obsession for anything foreign is killing the team.

The contract corruption is terrible. The idea of a scout for the super eagles that has no history of football is shocking. The Rhor contract situation is alarming.

The man needs to wake up. He might not know it but he is wasting a generation of brilliant players, keeping his mind on celebrity life.

Made my point.

His life, his tenure.

Maigari has written his name in gold.

How many of d powerhouse teams would b eliminated?
Almost all d top seeded teams will make it to d play off,that's enough to make d tournament competetive n interesting.

If we have d likes of algeria,senegal,nigeria,morroco, egypt/cameroon, ghana/SA in d competitions,
who cares whether the rest r motivated to play or not.

can you categorically tell me all you pointed out started and is only happening during pinnick regime and it wasn't in occurrence during the previous administrations and maigari a nailed corrupt administrator can't write his name in anything close to gold yes pinnick isn't a saint and he does padi padi deal's but telling me we haven't Gained anything under his regime is pure fallacy.

I don't care where it started from. Pinnick should not be part of the problem.

why is that
Because international games are different, club games have players training and basically living their lives together everyday until one gets a call-up, which is by consistent good performance. Imagine having koulibaly at the defense and di Lorenzo, mertens, insigne and anguissa almost every week, telling them how you want your passes based on the number of trainings and failures in mastering it. And then you come to the national team to play with (S. Moses, S. Kalu, ebuehi, aina and shehu, with their different tactics and game play) others, you'd have to adjust and adapt for a while,bar injuries.
Btw, in as much as teams shape players, team mates shape themselves too.

Remember Chile has never had a better squad than Argentina, but they've beaten them to the cup back-to-back.
