My perfect sketch of my ideal Eagles team under a new coach at AFCON, it's a rough set up that reflects the players we need going forward.
GKs
Jonathan Rasheed/Arthur Okonkwo/ Stanley Nwabili

Defence

Zaidu
Igoh Ogbu
Omeruo OR Ajayi
Jordan Torunarigha
Gabriel Osho
Aina
Bruno

Midfield:

Kelechi Nwakali
Ifeanyi Matthew/ Michael Folorunsho
Alhassan Yusuf
Ndidi
Iwobi
One U20 player (maybe either of Eletu, Akinsanmiro or Tochukwu Nnadi).

Forwards:

Osimhen
Akor Adams
Gift Orban
Kelechi Iheanacho
Simon Moses
Boniface
Lookman OR Tella (want to see more of him under a REAL coach).

My first XI will come from the players listed above, since CAF expanded the AFCON squad list to 27 so new players will definitely be called up.

Bench:

Chukwueze
Awoniyi
Bassey
Moffi

Players to be dropped unless their club situation changes between now and January as far as playing time goes:

Joe Aribo
Uzoho
Umar Sadiq

27 players in total for the AFCON and a new coach

Did you watched the match?very embarrassing and nauseating of a match involved two powerful football nations.

villagereporter:
.

Broda, sincerely players are not our problem, the main problem of Nigeria’s football is d nff and their archaic, primitive and gluttonous way of gobbling down every financial strata of d game and the wicked attitude of neglecting players when everything gone south.

I was listening to a sport radio program, was moved when the anchor of d program said a particular FA chairman of a country will call the d club of d players to see to their welfare and development.


C until we remove the specks from their eyes and show them, then we will be able to show d players the beam in their own eyes

Meliforme:
Anyone coming out to say that Iwobi is poor at long passing, has more to know about the Super Eagles midfield and midfielders.

In the match against Saudi Arabia Iwobi recorded 5/6 accurate long balls, the same as Ndidi.
In the match against Guinea Bissau Iwobi recorded 6/10 accurate long balls.

How does the aforementioned stats represent a player poor at long balls.

While he may not be the best at it because of the likes of Kelechi Nwakali, he is certainly not poor at it.

Iwobi is a complete midfielder, meaning he can dorn the DM, CM and AM roles satisfactorily.

TheGoodJoe:


There is a difference between just sending a long ball and switching play. Also, breaking the line passes is not just a true pass.

The difference comes with watching the movement of players.

My take is from what I noticed in the last match.

ChrisKels:
So far in the super eagles, Moffi and Awoniyi do not strike me as reliable strikers. They really haven't proven much for me to have that much faith in them to lead the lines in the absence of Osimhen. They really have to sit up with Akor and Durosimi knocking on the door.


Boniface too needs to sit up.

TheGoodJoe:


No one is overrating Kelechi Nwakali. We just said we need someone sound in deep lying playmaking role. Kelechi Nwakali is a natural for the role. He is not a magic wand but an extra dimension to our play.

komekn:


A player who has done nothing in Europe 🌍 for 8 years, and is in the bottom club in the Portuguese first tier currently.

If this is not OVERRATED OVER HYPE garnished with disinformation, what them is .

caprikon:


Nothing new ....South American football is very physical and sometimes violent...I think the more reason they keep having the upper hand over African teams is their combination of skill and physicality gives them an edge most of the time.

charlesemeka85:
Akor is better than Moffi and awoniyi. He is just like osimhen

mostob:
Oops....thank you Chief. We truly won the game. I think we came back from 3 goals down. Was it against Morocco? I can't remember vividly.

femianski:

Yes, we came back from 3 nil down and it was against Morocco sir.

mostob:
Check out the famous win against Morocco in CHAN 2014. Beautiful and perfectly executed goals.

Just hear Enyeama out…

caprikon:


Thanks to Oliseh's poor man management and NFF's attitude to issues like this.

Tomorrow, if he prefers his kids playing for the a different country, people will complain.

The NFF needs to have a system that honours our heroes..

Call me when you want to talk tactically.

Mujtahida:

Which kind tactically. What kind of tactics can make a blunt knife sharp. All these specious talk, using words to confuse people.

keshi is truly a rate gem…same comeback he did with his Mali team at Afcon 2010 against host Angola from 4-0 to 4-4…infact that Mali own pass miracle..they started their 4goals come back from 78mins cos as at 66th min angola was still scoring their goals..Kesi good abeg

Mujtahida:

Two mediocre coaches. If you choose one for the other you'd still get mediocrity.

MetalJigsaw:
Try and comprehend my english bro. I didn't mean Rohr is a good coach.

But he's obviously better than JP
