I pointed out some pages back that the high point of of Musa' s career with the Eagles remains his two goals against the Argies and some misguided guys were calling for my head, they even went as far as telling me about his exploits in an obscure league like the the Russian league, forgetting the fact that I was specific with my assertions. To those guys quoting me that day, I still repeat it again, Musa's highlight with EAGLES remains his two goals against the Argies.

Rohr named Onazi as his captain today... perhaps, he was upset by that since he has been in the team longer. I do not know the truth about those reports.

Funny reason if its true

But i thought some1 said he is better than our other RB options. He even made some people's expected starting list today.

The boy is decent but i doubt, he has seen this kind of Jam body African football before. Good, that we have Omeruo who can play Right back. Omeruo might just be the solution.

I think this has always been the concern of some posters here with Iwobi, he simply can't keep up with the physicality of African football

Having noted that, I would suggest against Cameroon, a team that will very much be similar to Senegal, that we have a midfield of Etebo, Mikel and Ogu if possible


Is this the right time to also discuss Onazi?
a 3-5-2 or 4-5-1 shud help implement that

you mean well done Manu Garba. it was he who unearthed Success, no praise for Rohr there

Give Rohr credit, so many people wanted him never to call the boy again. Honestly Rohr saved Isaac's international career.

what do you make of the combination of v. Moses and isacc success on the flanks because of their bullish and fast style of play. compared to iwobi playing in similar position.


success is right footed so playing him on the left might not work. but if we can, seriously Iwobi is too soft for the African game. with Moses and success in opposite flanks one thing will be sure, chances will be created. but Iwobi is all about playing football in the centre of the pitch and really he should start vying for the cmf position with the other players there but he is not the best LMF we have

You know Sir GoodJoe.... I always smile when Iheanacho is always the one people wanna criticise for every turn he makes.... what about Iwobi today he was downright poor but yeah we know why.... he is kinda not yet used to the physical "jam body" aspect of African football.... with Experience.... **chaiii... licensed word owned by the archguardian himself, Sir Icon4s** .... he will learn wink


Also... Iheanacho took almost all if not all our setpieces today and was on point mosr of the times.... he did his best to battle koulibaly and co.... Nacho wom the penalty and whem i saw he was the one to take it.... i just started shouting goal because I have never seen Nacho miss a penalty.... and he may never ever miss coz he is that good from the spot.... **remember his first spotkick for city as a 17yr old in the USA**


So plsss.... nacho had a good game though not a spectacular one.... but it is good he scored and his influence on the team shows that he cannot continue to warm that nonsense bench at City.... pep I like as a tactical coach but not as a manager (man manager).... Nacho needs an environment to blossom.... this is his generation sprouting up fast... and now add mbappe and Dybala to the equation.... Nacho needs to shine more... abeg...





This man. Where u go since?

You and TheGoodJoe need to obtain a special copy right license before using that word EXPERIENCE.

On Iwobi, he battled a grade A typical west African side. Thank God Rohr played him there in this game. I guess we need to try Etebo or the baba himself, Mikel, against Cameroun.

There is always a difference btw the 'borough' brought ups and the 'area' brought ups. Rohr dey even fear to put Ebuehi even though he still had 2 more substitute slots.

The midfield 5 could be: Mikel, Ndidi, Ogu, Etebo and Iwobi

To me ndidi seem to have moved slightly above onazi in terms of his all round game. A combination of Ndidi ,Ogu and Mikel with ndidi playing a deep lying DM . will not only be solid but will also have a good impact on our possession game

Reports say he rejected the assistant captain role when Onazi was made today's captain. How true?

as at now I think he actually is, but if we could possibly use a right footed player there it would be better. Iwobi would be better off playing in the middle where all he has to do is make sure the ball is moving

lol...so because he scored two goals in a match in the world cup, he deserves a constant spot in the team?

Even Goetze that scored Germany's winner at the finals is struggling to keep his place in same team. Mba that won us AFCON with his goal hasn't featured for the team in 3 years. So, why should Musa have a permanent spot?

Na all this sentimental BS dey make Naija coaches field yeye teams mostly

Football is not played with emotions, anybody is expendable, Rohr is not indebted to anybody and neither is Nigeria. The two goals Musa scored na only for am, it did not put Nigeria on any pedestal in world football, it boosted his CV, but e no even affect our FIFA ranking

Maybe if he had scored the goal to take us to a World Cup Semi-final, we would keep him in the team till he's ready to leave

I hail u....


Lemme help the recipient of your question answer....


loolll.... only one.... his name... Ahmed Musa.... lol


Hey guys... I still feel Musa is relevant to the Super Eagles oooo.... after all... how was Simon Moses' game today? I think Samuel Kalu at Gent is a better allround player than Simon Moses... yet Musa trumps these two... plsss make una cool am on Musa oooo... he is very much relevant... only Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi and also Isaac Success (if played from the wings and based on what we have seen especially knowing that he is not 100% fit yet produced a masterclass performance) are ahead of him for now.... Henry Onyekuru is another that can challenge Musa's bench spot but until then... it is just these three above who benches Musa for now...
