Compare apples with apples.. Kelechi has not reached legendary status with Nigeria to be invited irrespective of game time. If things don't improve for him and another striker starts showing good form, he can easily be dropped.

TheGoodJoe:

Play your best player. Leave all those game time talk. Holes are burst through that argument. Sane was not playing and Boom, amazing displays. Gabriel Jesus has nit played since November, he is playing well.

What matters is not game time but the best person that will perform. Ighalo with all the game time lost form. So how can that become an ideal selector. We need the best. Simple. If iheanacho is the best play him.

I did not say Iheanacho can not lose his place. Let him lose his place to a better performer. If there is not a better performer, play him.

My point is crystal clear. I did not say legendary status. Play the best.

Kog45:
Agreed but i still see him leading d attack for now,if i may ask which striker w u pick ahead of Nacho in d National team for now coz i don't see any,d experience ones like Ideye and Ighalo have not live up to expectations and this resulted for them being dropped to d bench against Algeria,though Senegal friendly and Cameroon match w put a question mark if he failed to perform but i don't think so coz if older Mikel always raised his game despite not playing Chelsea then d young Nacho should do d same

tbaba1234:
I wish him the best... Hopefully, things improve at club level and he does not dip in form on the national level.

tbaba1234:
Mikel is an old experienced player. Lack of playing time will have less effect on his confidence than a young player. We already saw signs of Kelechi losing a bit of confidence under Pep. The only thing going for Kelechi now is that Nigeria does not really have in form options in attack. But if players like Sadiq Umar, Osimhen, Isaac Success and Anichebe start playing well and scoring goals in the next few months and Kelechi is barely playing, He can easily be dropped.

TheGoodJoe:

The best performer in camp.

That is exactly what I expect. Judge Iheanacho from his form in camp and Super Eagles game. Not if he has playing time under Guardiola.

TheGoodJoe:

Barely playing is not the issue. None of those listed above will barely play at City. If playing time is all, all our promising talents should go to Finland or China and play regularly.

Best in camp all day long.

Kog45:
Some player needs playing time to compete in d national team while some can still prove their worth despite warming d bench of their club sides,hope Nacho belongs to d latter.

Why i am still sticking my neck to Nacho ahead of others was his goal ratio in d Eagles colour and those that can really slug it out with him are not always injury free,player like Success and Anichebe.

Kog45:
Pls forget best performer in camp.Do u want us to start with Kayode Olarewaju coz he performs better in camp against Cameroon,is not done that way.Nacho already established himself in d National team and his goal ratio speak for him,irrespective of lack of playing time at Man city,Rohr w not make d mistake of starting anybody ahead of him even if d guy perform wonder in training.It's a pity Guardiola is messing d guy up.

Do u remember Richard Owubokiri,this was a player that conquered d whole Europe as d highest goal scorer but Westerhoff dropped him for Yekini who was playing for Victoria Setubal in d Portuguese second division while Owubokiri was playing for Boavista in first division in d same Portuguese league.

This is to tell u irrespective of Iheanacho performance in camp,he w be picked ahead of any striker for now coz Rohr rate him very high or do u think it was easy for him to be picked ahead of Ighalo and Ideye against Algeria.I believe w should judge Nacho in Eagles jersey coz his Eagle goal ratio is awesome

Unfortunately, I am thrilled by the football of Luiz Suarez who I feel is a gift to the game is weak when it comes to defensive contributions. I want Nacho developing his other attributes more than his defensive contributions if he is to become one of the best in the World.

Funny enough, one of the best in the history of the game, Lionel Messi is also weak when it comes to defensive contributions.

"The Argentinian phenomenon netted twice during the Catalan's 6-0 thrashing of Granada on Saturday, but his manager has been equally impressed by his dedication to defending.

‘He’s also a very determined player, and I think he’s also the No. 1 in terms of defending and dropping back.

‘Even though people talk much less about that part of his game, he’s also very good at it.’

"Lionel Messi would be the best defender in the world if he played at the back for Barcelona rather than leading the forward line, according to coach Luis Enrique."

komekn:
Rohr is unapologetically biased towards German football which is not his fault this is where most of his experiential knowledge comes from.

When we are talking Green Eagles national team it is not a testing ground. But a an arena to prove your ability.

Players who have not played a competitive season with thier teams from where we can assess thier quality, ability, and possible contribution to improve our national team. SHOULD NOT be invited to camp yet.

forgiveness:
Ademola-lookman can play equally with both legs.
Chai! We get plenty players ooooooo. No more sharaka from any player.

And in spite of all this the Camerounian goalkeeper is shining. I support goodjoe when he opined that give the player a chance, if he proves his mettle he should be considered for sterner test. There ain't no one formula for this things.
