Chuks will make the squad bro. The only thing that will stop him is injury. At worst, he may get benched at the tourney.

zoboizee:


I think a fit Musa, Ekong, Zaidu, Okoye and a third goalkeeper will make the team complete base on experience and pattern of selection over the years. I doubt Bruno Onyemaechi will ever make it ahead of a fit Zaidu for the left back position.

Is Chukwueze better than Tella , with end product and more effective in creating scoring chances ❓

Let them compete and the best players be selected on merit alone.

You are spot on. With a 23-man list, the attack will command no more than 7 players with 4 being wingers and 3 being CFs. If JPes goes with 8 in attack then it means the midfield dept will have only 5 players and defence will have 7 lads alongside 3 GKs.


So we know Simon, Chukwueze and Lookman are 3 of the wingers 100% bound for CIV barring injuries in January.

[b]Tella and Musa [/b]will simply be out for the last Wing/WF slot.

It gets interesting indeed now that we are back to a 23 man list and not 28 like last covid edition.

zoboizee:

Sir, it's Chukwueze and Tella that will compete. 70% fit Musa is Afcon bound. Its not just about talents, but national team politics.

Please Bro, you making it difficult to read your posts. It's simple to quote someone and then make your own comment.

ChrisKels:


This rubbish you are doing is irritating. Best to jump every post from this moniker. No dey stress anybody mentally here.

Kog45:
Sir,are you trying to be a Village man👨truly according to your moniker.

Oga,people love to read your posts but they are finding it difficult.Pls just start your comment after [/qoute] Abi make you kuku change to Urbanreporter 😁

lordofstrings:


When you quote someone don't remove this at the beginning

TheSuperNerd:
I see your point. And if this angle holds stronger than the actual merit angle I am coming from then it is settled. Chuks and a fit Musa will be at the Afcon even though Tella will make the November list.

Tobichimezie:
Why are people still mentioning Musa here? when last did any of you even watch Musa play football this season or last? he hasn't even been listed on the bench in all the games Sivasspor (his club) have played in the last 10 or so games! for all we know he could be seriously injured or frozen out of his club. Abeg let's respect ourselves here and dead the Musa agenda, let the man enjoy his retirement anonymously.

On to serious matters, I don't see how Nathan Tella doesn't make the final AFCON squad if he performs well in this November games, the ball is in his court now to take his chances.

elyte89:



What is going for musa is simply because he’s officially the captain of the team, if not ,nobody will talk about him

Captain without a club, only in Nigeria.

Sir, if you looked at the analysis of the senior analysts you will discover that is not about Musa playing time at club level but of national quota system, the system that has been killing our national development.

Icon4s:


Coaches don't drop players like that. Let Tella come to the African Soil and prove those points in bold first before you start any comparison.

I've not seen where a player is a timid anonymous mouse 🐁 in club and league and then all of a sudden comes into the national team and becomes a lion ♌.

It doesn't work like that.

If a quality player is not performing in the national team, you have to first look at the management. It's like having Lukaku and if he doesn't score you say he is bad.

When Lukaku was having issues the Tuchel in Chelsea he was still banging goals for Belgium.

Well unfortunately, he is still d official captain of the team… a serious coach who doesn’t want him would av denounce him d captaincy role immediately he took over but jp still retained him as his team captain meaning he has some faith in him
