Hahahaha hahaha! This is the height of prejudice and bias.

They deliberately eliminated some players from the team and now knowing Shehu is injured, they want to use style snub those players and bring in the highest bidder. grin

Naija! grin

According to Shehu, he is actually not injured as reported. He got a knock in the game and had to be substituted as a precaution.

I had sleepless nights over Eagles AFCON selection

latestnews.ng

Super Eagles interim coach, Austin Eguavoen, has admitted that he had sleepless night making his 298-man list for the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The Eagles will face Egypt, Sudan and Guinea Bissau in Group D.

The 2021 AFCON will hiold from January 9 to February 6, 2022, across five cities in Cameroon.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Eguavoen said he was aware of the threats posed by the seven-time champions.

“Egypt are seven times winner and they are a team I have played against and coach against at the junior level. I know what they can bring to the table,” Eguavoen told the Nigerian Football Federation TV.

“They are not a team you can push over also every team that has qualified for the AFCON are no pushover. We are going to do everything possible to see how we can actually analyse them individually and collectively and map out a strategy. That’s what you should expect them to do as well.

“Nigeria is a big country and other teams will be planning as well.

“I think I am better as a coach now because every day that counts matters and I have watched many coaches and I have learned because we learn every day. But the thing is your opponents determine how you set up your team. So, it’s going to be a different approach against Egypt and another against Sudan and Guinea Bissau.”

“It was tough coming up with the final list and since I got the news (of taking Eagles to Cameroon) I would say I don’t sleep well because of expectations but I know not everybody wants us to succeed because they are in doubt but we will do everything humanly possible to put a smile on the faces of Nigerians” Eguavoen added.

The 56-year-old also spoke on the team’s chances of winning the AFCON despite his short time with them.

He said, “There is a team on the ground and I think this team is ready to compete anytime they are called upon. The time is quite short and we all know that but every coach has his own style and philosophy.

“With the quality of players we have I don’t think we will struggle but the only thing is there won’t be time for any friendly and that’s when you actually assess your team if they can actually do what you want or what the technical crew want. Be it as it may we just have to do what we need to do.

“The players have what it takes to win the AFCON but the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step and this is exactly what we are going to do. From day one we set up a meeting, we have to face the reality and talk to one another. Talk about where we want to be and about our goals. We are going to work hard to achieve those goals.

“So, I believe we have all it takes to go all the way but we have to take it game after game.”

The Eagles will take on Egypt in their opening game of the tournament on January 11 at the Stade Roumdé Adjia.
The man with balls. These are the words we expect from a coach unlike the oyibo miss road that took the team steps backwards.

I disagree ,how many times have we seen an inform kalu ? Kalu is just like nepa ,1 day on and 4 days off

I prefer chuks over him
Since Victor Moses, none of our wingers have been consistent. All of them are like Nepa. Ejuke has done nothing remarkable though one can attribute it to the fact that he's not been given enough time.

Special with just 5 goals? Ejuke should be scoring 15 goals in the lowly Russian league but he is dragging 5 goals with players in top leagues.

Ejuke didn't get much game time last season.

we were unlucky that year,we are currently deficient in central and attacking midfield position. Okocha and Kanu were handful for the Tunisians, what they gave Aribo and Iwobi can give it in a different way but not as efficient as Okocha and Kanu.

The nwakaeme case is actually sad. Here’s a player that has 6 goals and 6 assist at the same league Ahmed musa (1 goal in 17 games) is playing and he is ignored for Ahmed musa. They claimed that he was unimpressive in his 30 minutes cameo while the likes of musa, Simon has consistently been playing horribly for Nigeria while getting invited.. The Nigeria national team is just a minor version of our environment. Biased!
What are you guys typing sef
Ahmed and William are squad captains who have media and other obligations
They get preferential treatment besides Ahmed has done a lot on the pitch for the country
Looking at the eagles for decades it has always been like that
Captains get treated with respect
Jay Jay, Kanu, Yobo, Enyeama, Mikel all had times they were not in form but were invited to play.
Ahmed will prove you wrong in January
Don’t worry you will not see Musa from January 2023 grin

Eguavon i think in a way might have considered weather and ease of the players to adapt to it
The new foreigners he dropped won’t really adapt to our tropical weather like the regulars or home grown players
They might have to play when it’s scorching hot

After rewatching this match against Argentina and seeing yet again how Mikel dictated play from that middle, I must say thanks to Eguavoen for bringing on Kelechi Nwakali. Our midfield has been begging for a natural conductor since Mikel left.

No, I go for shorter plans but it is wasteful because it is very limited. 1.5gb for 500, it expires within 2weeks if I don't burn it down, so I buy it twice to make it 3gb.

So home based are now the contingency plan instead of players that actually merit the list, hmm

It will prove very difficult to get foreign clubs to release their players for AFCON if the callups are late. This is just basic.

Aribo does not posses the paraphernalia to operate as a conductor in the midfield. He is weak defensively
