Icon4s:


Abdullahi Shehu is clearly the best RB we have at the moment. Tell me other wise.

Kog45:
OK O I don agree one more trial but when Kayode had 15 mins against SA we all said Rohr have seen him enough,no more invitation, when Osimhen had a comeo appearance we said he was too young

But Nwakaeme need another trial,when Kayode is on the bench looking for another opportunity.Please is Nwakaeme better than Kayode?

Remember Aina came in against Zambia less than 12 mins we all saw what he can do,against Algeria he had a decent game,the same thing Shehu he seized the opportunity when it matter most.Oyekwuru came in against Algeria we all saw the glimpses.Ogu after a long time waiting came in with a goal and MOTM.

Why can't Nwakaeme show his stuff so that we can forget Ighalo,funny enough Iheanacho was pushed to the wing to accommodate him.

Hope he prove me wrong if he had another opportunity against Argentina because guys like Peter Onuachu,Desserts,Osimhen, Awoniyi,Umar Sadiq are waiting to impress.

jihday:
weytin you go talk before, aren't you his biggest supporter here

komekn:

.

One question is Nwaekeme better than Obagoal presently.

Icon4s:


Where did I say competition is not needed?


What I said is Shehu stands apart. Meaning he is a clear favorite among the RB options.

We have the numbers advantage, let us take advantage of it..

TheGoodJoe:


You have not watched Nwakaeme to judge. Watch him on a better pitch before judging. That pitch was so bad to string simple passes. So very poor condition to judge his quality.

lexyman:


I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH YOU , Aguero's perfomance kept him in that team ... Nigeria players that were axed from the team didnt have any good club perfomance, also national team perfomance was awful . Only martins had fair performance and he's not playing in a competitive league...in fact , hes close to retirment .

safarigirl:
even if Nwakaeme does not come good, I can name four other players that should be tested before uncle Obafemi.

But some people just want to drag us back

OMANBALA1:



I will play Ogu ahead of Agbo and bring the later in the second half. Secondly, I will start Idowu ahead of Aina and let Shehu to keep growing in form.

safarigirl:
for some reason, I can't vote

Tried with opera mini and it didn't even pop up....something about JavaScript

Tried with the main browser and it says I have to enable cookies.... It's enabled in the settings, me I dunno again.

Shehu is good but essentially he has nobody competing with him. Or I could say nobody has been allowed to compete with him. Is he better than Aina we do not know. It's q false sense of quality. What if Aina is better

We need competition increase our quality not reduce it.

Joebie:
Ehen send the link to someone who don't care a thing about football to vote for you.

komekn:


We do not conclusively yet because Aina best RB in the championship has not been allowed to play his natural RB position so that a direct comparison can be made to Shehu.

Mujtahida:

Please you often talk about objectivity. Follow your own rules. You said some time ago that you have not watched Ebuehi play, so how come you say Ebuehi is not on Aina's level?

Whatever your response will be, remember that the man who has pegged down that RB plays in Cyprus and you know where the league in Cyprus ranks

TheGoodJoe:


You are making it look as if Aina and Ebuehi are not in camp. They have competed in camp and Rohr prefers Shehu Abdullahi.

Finito.

Pressing has to be qualified by the impact of your pressing. It's about presence,intensity, pace and physicalilty. A CB being pressed by Lukaku and one being pressed by say Raheem can not be the same.

In that regard the physicality of Ighalo compared to KC will cause most defender to be weary, panic and make mistakes.

KC can not bully defenders the way Ighalo can he simply does not have the presence to do it. He can press yes but how effective is the question.

Icon4s:


Rohr knows these players better than we do.

He sees them in training and knows what each can offer. There are some decisions he may not have to wait to see from a match day game before making them.

He had both Shehu and Aina in camp and yet kept faith with Shehu.

Shehu seems to have cemented that spot. It is not likely that Aina would displace him. Aina would compete with Echiejile instead.

Did you notice Shehu's displays against Algeria sef?
That guy is improving with each passing game.

SerVik:

I agree. And it makes it all the more surprising considering the little or no effort Ighalo puts into pressing.

The defenders are not going to cower by the mere sight of you, you have to be imposing. What good is having all the physique when you can't use it to bully defenders? Players like Costa make defenders shiver because they are always breathing down their neck.

Iheanacho edges him by his mere willingness to try. Ighalo might be more effective if he makes an effort, but until he does, I will not rate him ahead of KC in that regard

pyrex23:
Subs..
Idowu for aina
Tyronne for shehu
Might be good if we want to go all attack..

SerVik:

The midfield is too thin. It doesn't have anybody to shield the defence. I'll sacrifice one striker for a DM, Ndidi as a CM and Mikel as an AM

komekn:


Sone Aluko

komekn:


It was the pressing of Ighalo in the game against Cameroon that set the tone for that win in my opinion.

Those Cameroon defenders were bullied into making mistakes and made to be disorientated by Ighalo. KC can not do that. He can even win the aerial battles he simply not that the of player.

Closing down the spaces limiting the passing options for defenders playing from the back yes. But pressing with impact no for me.

My first choice STRIKER is for now IGHALO

philcz:
Thin ko tin ni.

SerVik:
you know what I mean

komekn:


That for a manager is not being tactically astute. God forbid what if Shehu gets injured or suspended etc

But the real test is to know how good a player is to test him against another player in the same circumstances.

Manager show preference it's not necessarily conclusive our outright objectivity it's preference.

In Everton Phil Nevill was arguably the least player in the team with regard to ability. But the first on the team sheet much to the indignation of Yobo Plenarr, Anichebe, etc.

Training games are not totally conclusive you need a full match possibly a couple of games to to be conclusive about a player.

I know players who are not great in training but complete terrors on the pitch in a match. So I dont agree with that approach.

Given the same opportunity how do you know Aina will not improve more. You simply do not because the opportunity is denied.

aodis:
Can't wait for Brian idowu's initiation ceremony to the super eagles . And this guy Noah Joel Bazee will add a stiff competition in the midfield. I think we have a stronger team than the one we had to Brazil 2014.
