Is there way to integrate Akinkunmi Amoo in super eagles asap. He is just one year older than Ansu fati of Barcelona who is also a key member of the Spanish national team. So he is not young at all. He's game is top notch rn. The earlier the better for his confidence level. Meanwhile He can play as a right winger or as an attacking midfielder with good eye for goals. In the absence of Iwobi and Chukwueze respectively. I'm just thinking aloud
Swedish backwater league? He should prove himself at a decent league before any invitation and his position is very saturated. Super eagles isn’t a training center.

I personally believe there is a room for Amoo in terms of exposure and training with the big boys. I still feel he can Iwobi and Chukwueze's position perfectly.

And he is even wrong for that matter. In the past, we can agree that, there wasn’t any superstars in the mould of drogba, yaya… but now, osimehn is as equivalent and good as any player in Africa at their various position likewise ndidi…..
There is nothing wrong with that. Rohr is entitled to say what he wants. He could be saying that to keep them on their toes.

Sometimes it is good to read beyond words and pierce into the spirit of a statement. All he's saying is that we have quality players and Rohr should stop putting our players down. I hate that shitty Rohr does. Some say it's mind games but to me it's cowardice.
Before the Olympics, the D'Tigers coach talked tough about his team. Omo, they were skinned at the Olympics but I appreciated his courage. If it were Rohr, he would reduce his team before the whole world and on the pitch they'd still get beat or scrape through with raggedly football.

That's why I didn't bothered to mention our defence because their aren't WC players, save for Balogun whom I think is ahead of other defenders in the SE
Balogun what?



Still very average. More like. "Calamity Balogun"

We haven't gotten defenders in the mold of

Stop capping

Haaland will not struggle to score goals on any team

You think Napoli will allow victor go easily ,you have forgotten their president so quick and the koulibally saga
Oga andrew aka objective analyst

Scoring in german league is not same as scoring in Seria A oooo

The defenders in the later barely allow u breathing space, they bare leave spaces for strikers to explore, they're tough, brutal and way mastered the art of defending

Here teams hate conceding goals, even when loosing 3 nil they still keep defending rather than attack, the teams are defensive minded and barely tailored to play fast paced counter attacking football

Harland won't be able to put up those numbers he is doinh in Germany even CR7 struggled in Seria A unlike in La Liga

He barely motivate or inspire the team

The only angle to justify Rohr belittling comments is the “mind game” angle. Maybe, he feels like if he keep belittling his superstars, it will motivate them to defeat their rival.. if that’s Rohr aim, he is absolutely wrong because there are other ways (winners mentality) to motivate his players than to belittle them to their rival. His saving grace is that, he has met all his pre contractual agreement thus far. If not, some of his statements are terminable offenses
Looking at rohr alone u will know that he is someone that has defeatist mindset

It is just his person

Scoring in the German league might be more easier than the Italian league doesn’t mean Haaland will struggle there ,you dig ?

Have you take a time to watch the Warey Haaland ? I think if you have done that you won’t say this

Cr7 didn’t struggle at seria A ,you can’t compare a Madrid team to juventus ,cr7 was already 34 when he joined juve and he was likely to slow down ,and I repeat cr7 didn’t struggle at seria A

Football is somehow most times ,now can you tell me why immobile flopped at the bundesliga and he is finding life easy at seria A ?

Super Eagles List For Liberia, Cape Verde Clash – Rohr List Ighalo Among Strikers
thestreetjournal.org


Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has confirmed that Al Shabab of Saudi Arabian forward Odion Ighalo is in his provisional list of players for the World Cup qualifiers next month.

Nigeria will first play Liberia at their new home ground in Morocco before returning home to round up the qualifiers with a game against Cape Verde in Lagos.

The Super Eagles currently hold a two point lead over second place Cape Verde but Rohr is leaving no stone unturned in his bid to ensure that the finish the qualifiers on a high, and he has listed Ighalo who quit the team in 2019 among the strikers for the games.

In an interview with Elegbete TV, the German coach confirmed the invitation of the forward saying his leadership will be key for the remaining games but he however sounded unsure about the forward accepting the call, although according to Rohr Ighalo still has the ambition to help the Super Eagles.

“Because we miss his leadership, we miss his experience, we miss the goals he scores, he was the best scorer at the AFCON, the best scorer during the qualifiers and I think we have so many young players and they could learn a lot on the side of such a great player. Ighalo is a very important man. I hope that he can come back”; he said in the interview monitored by OwnGoalNigeria editorial team.

“I put him in the bigger provisional first list for the next games, we are in touch. He is doing very well at his club and he still has the ambition to help his country.
So which goal will Ighalo score that Oshimen can't score huh Our sport analyst are not doing enough they need to drill this man with lot of serious questions

Emotions and sentiments. I know people are afraid that Ighalo will Bench their boy Osimehn, Osimehn is also my boy but the important thing is not who plays but the progress of the team. In a 3-5-2 formation Osimehn can partner Ighalo,in a 4-3-3 formation Osimehn can play from right flank just the way Mbappe plays. The call for Ighalo is not targeted at any player but to improve the performance of the team

Gernot Rohr Is Trying To Prove His Crítics Right By Inviting Ighalo

Gernot Rohr has been a controversial Manager since he started handling the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Although, he has been a little Successful in areas like qualifying the Team for major tournaments and sourcing for Players in Europe, but his style of Play and dependence on some Choice Players remains a big challenge to his Career and future of the Team.

According to newtelegraphng, Gernot Rohr has met with Odion Jude Ighalo to discuss his return to the National Team of Nigeria. However, the German tactician defended his action by saying that he needed Ighalo's experience in the Super Eagles Team. Many Supporters of the Eagles will certainly be disappointed by that saying because Odion Ighalo already left the national team duties without being forced. He willingly retired, when he felt the ovation was loudest.

After winning Bronze Medal at AFCON 2019, Ighalo deemed it fit to face his Club Football and move away from any National invitation for international matches, he wasn't persuaded because he's made up his mind and that development opened wide doors to Paul Onuachu and Victor Osimhen to step into his shoes for an expected progression on National duties.

Gernot Rohr's choice of keeping Ahmed Musa and Odion Ighalo is really questionable because these Players are due for permanent replacements in the Super Eagles' Team. As things are currently, Ighalo doesn't play in a competitive League that produce African, Asian or World Footballer Of the year, he plays with Al-shabab in Saudi Arabia that accommodates Players who are nearing their career end. Ahmed Musa was able to get another Club in Turkey because Gernot Rohr used important matches to help him get back to Europe which is also in same questionable line of why he's trying to showcase them even when their contributions in the Team is highly minimal.

Experience or not, Gernot Rohr's move means he's short of ideas in making use of the available Players in his domain or at his disposal for desired results. How can Onuachu, Osimhen, Iheanacho, Chukwueze and Iwobi not look good enough for the future until being polished by an experience Player that play in an obscure League?

The Eagles need a Coach that could look forward like Garret Southgate who refused to look backward in building an English '3 Lions' Team that can compete at any level with fresh and Younger Players. Gernot Rohr is Only confirming what Crítics have said about his tactics and techniques of being archaic and out of fashion. The return of Ighalo will surely rob some Players of their Chances and full injection into the National Team.

We just hope every stakeholder stand against Gernot Rohr's Idea of bringing Ighalo back to the Team. What do you think he's trying to achieve by bringing Ighalo back to the Team? Follow for more stories.

You're a wise man.
But do we have a wise coach? No
That guy will murder the role Moses Simon plays down that right flank but our coach will choose to play a short one that wing who can't do anything.

Hammarby is a better club to Nantes that our current (otu) right winger plays. Amoo should be integrated into the folds. If people here are clamoring for a player playing in Saudi Arabia league (retirement home) to come back, then Amoo in all fairness deserves a call up. Man can play AM,CM and RW at least he's better than Simon. Last I checked, that position isn't saturated in the eagles fold.
