Based on performances this season there are several players doing better than him. I believe it's because of his u17 displays that he is still remembered.
I think his touters have actually piped low

But let him score one goal now and this thread won't rest

Ovie is much better and would be an in absolute asset to the SE. Bringing in the much needed inspirational technical ability to dominate with skill, style and panacea. Ovie is a baller.

Having Eze and Ovie would be taking the SE to another Level.

If eguavoen really want to do wonders with the team first thing is not allowing sentiment come in when picking his players

Our best midfield trio judging by the best we have and those that hv been tested in the team remains

Ndidi, Onyeka and aribo where the leicester will be the dm,Onyeka box/box or cm and aribo am

Or ndidi,Onyeka and iwobi

This mentioned players I can bet that nwakali can’t lace their boots let alone dragging positions with any
Iwobi ke?

He shouldn't even be in the team

The first trio you mentioned is our best for now

Iwobi just destroyed a perfect counter attack by refusing to play a simple pass to Doucoure to set up a one-on-one. He had at least five seconds to pick the pass and still messed it up.

I still think Aribo is a better passer than Iwobi, and Aribo should be tried as a 10 in place of Iwobi with Onyeka and Ndidi behind him.
How Iwobi managed to pass to his right rather than playing the player through on goal was embarrassingly shocking. Like man common that's a goal looming and even with his head raised, player spotted man still spun the chance.

Man needs to retire to the bench and learn some basics

Onyedika, Onyeka, Dele Bashiru, Iwobi, Ndidi, Aribo, Olise are some of them.
Four here is already part of the sure team going to the AFCON.

One is undecided about Nigeria for now as much as I know.So we are left with two more persons.

Please I'll be needing more names because in an expanded list of 40 persons, I'm sure calling up 8 to 9 midfielders for the preliminary preparation won't be a crime and from your list here, I can only see 6

Eguavoen: Super Eagles Can Win AFCON 2021

Eguavoen: Super Eagles Can Win AFCON 2021

Interim coach of the Super Eagles, Austine Eguavoen has reiterated that the senior national team can lift the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations regardless of the time frame left for them to prepare.


Eguavoen made this known in an interview with Brila FM, where he said that he’s optimistic of Nigeria’s chances at the tournament in Cameroon.

1xBit

Recall that the three-time AFCON champions are pitted alongside Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and Sudan in Group D, with the team facing the Pharaohs in the opening game on January 11.


“Yes. You don’t go to war without thinking about winning. We have to also take it step by step. Most teams going to the AFCON there aspire to win it. But we have to take it a game at a time.”

N1Bet

“It’s hard to say yes or no, but we guarantee to make them happy.


“Luck also plays a part, we’ll do our own work and we are certain of the support and we’ll just take the games one at a time.”

Why Eguavoen Will Struggle With Super Eagles At 2021 AFCON’ –UdezeUdeze

‘Why Eguavoen Will Struggle With Super Eagles At 2021 AFCON’ –Udeze

Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Udeze says new interim coach Austin Eguavoen and his crew will struggle with the Super Eagles at next year’s AFCON.

Udeze said this in Thursday’s edition of Sports Breakfast Show on Brila FM.

1xBit
Eguavoen was drafted in as a replacement for Gernot Rohr who was sacked as Eagles head coach.

The former Eagles defender will take charge of the team at next month’s tournament.

In his first AFCON as Eagles coach, he led the team to a third-placed finish.

And ahead of the next edition, Udeze expresses doubts positing that the time is too short for Eguavoen and his coaching crew to impact anything on the team.

“It’s going to be very difficult for Eguavoen and his coaching crew to do anything with the Super Eagles at next year’s AFCON,” Udeze said.

“The problem is that the time is too short for them to perform, no friendly game has been lines up to prepare the team so it would be very difficult for them to do well.

“But I wish them all the best and hope they do well.”

The Eagles are in Group D with Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and Sudan.

The Europeans have never liked the idea of the AFCON taking place in January for obvious reasons.. The covid-19 pandemic has given them a good reason to further push for it's cancelation..

Meanwhile,the Euros, Copa America and gold cup went ahead in the summer without fuss...

I hope CAF would be bold enough to resist it...

This is one of the major reasons Africa is the gutter of the world today... A certain victim mentality that is a combination of envy, ignorance and self-indulgence.

You really think Europeans are planning a global football conspiracy to take over african football and make us bow to their will? That they engineered a conspiracy of a new global coronavirus strain killing thousands of people just to give them an excuse to stop the mighty AFCON?

For your point about the Euros and so on, if we held our great and mighty AFCON when Euros and the rest were held, would there have been any fuss? The child who does not eat when others are eating should not complain when no food is left for him.

You really need to learn how to stick to conversations and stop twisting words..
I never said anything about a conspiracy or take over.. Stop twisting words!

For many decades now, African players have become important members of many European clubs. Key players... Players that they depend on..
When AFCON is around the corner, they risk losing those players..
There's hardly any AFCON tournament approaching where you won't hear of clubs complaining about it..Klopp's remark about the tournament was just the latest one...
It has been happening for long, and covid-19 has provided the perfect opportunity for the European clubs to finally get one over CAF.

In case you don't know, the European club association has written to FIFA to postpone the tournament due to the pandemic..
The same ECA complained several times when FIFA moved the world cup to Qatar...

It has nothing to do with conspiracy...It's just the selfishness of the European clubs at play..

First frame - Mba and our then second choice goalkeeper(Chikwado Buffon)
Second frame - Oshaniwa and Chikwado
In 2013 a EPL club wanted to sign him .

But the naked greed of the official in Warri Wolves and others blocked progress including Enugu Rangers. One of those officials is now at the pinnacle of Football administration in today.

He Mba probably didn't get the opportunity to choose.

glad you never accepted that delusional wink wink wink not something to be proud of cry
Distinguish between DELUSIONAL disorder ( which is essentially mental sometimes psychotic disorders)

And SIMPLISTIC Delusion which is fixed stong beliefs not based on rationaity or facts.

Using the phrase, "l am crazy about Manchester United" doesn't mean to say l am psychotic and schizophrenic, where Manchester United is concerned.

Do I really have to talk about simplistic ambiguity of diction, the context of words and therefore meaning qualified by context.

I assume a certain level of education and comprehension here, as well as common sense.

It seems I am wrong in that assumption.

You even have time to reply him.

Anyone who feels there is no conspiracy against Africa doesn't know international history and world politics.. That is my field. See, self interest always comes first. Why did china seize Uganda's assets? Why didnt they forgive them and give them more time of grace? Why is uganda regreting signing the deal?

Why was Bill Gates hopeful and expectant of a continental death toll across africa when the pandemic started? Why were the world thinking Africans would die massively? Why is there a covid pro Max? How did the covid become a pro Max?

Why is France taking over french speaking Africa? Why is Africa still servants to the west?

Anyone who thinks there is no conspiracy against african development and growth, knows nothing. Yes, we have bad leaders. But trust me, you may not know, most of these bad leaders were initially planted by the same west for their own interest.

If you study Congo, the most naturally blessed nation on earth, you will know how bleeped up Africa is by these greedy ass motherfucking European nations.

They don't want us to reach our full potentials. Without Africa France is useless. Hence they tie rope for their francophone nations neck like goats.

All these bad bad stuff happening in Africa, from terrorism to sickness, it their way to get what they want, decress our population, and keep us dependent on them for ever.

The matter long jare. Abi nor be this continent they caught a french journalists/spy army who was supplying weapons to rebels and terrorists in Sudan abi Niger Republic? These guys are evil.

They kill you while smiling with you and stretching their arms to shake you. They kill you with envy, deep rooted envy.

They're still surprised Africa wasn't whipped out by the pandemic as they anticipated and planned.

God shocked them.
