Forgiveness

It is obvious what your intentions are for the SE. All your criticisms is not for the growth of the SE rather it is because you truly hate the team especially because your players are not always selected, so you truly pray for our downfall so that you can laugh at us.

If the 3 of you deny my accusations, prove me wrong by showing me anywhere on this thread where you wished the SE success in any of our matches in the past?

Everytime before any game during the qualifiers, you all will wish us badluck only for these same players you so hate and write off to enter into the pitch and win, not just winning but performing and winning excellently well. But none of you guys will ever comeback after the match to congratulate the team for performing far above your expectations or predictions, rather you all will disappear for awhile only to reappear after the dust have settled to continue to castigate the players and predict doom to the team as a whole.

I am referring to @forgiveness, @mickeal2, @komern and others listed earlier on especially.

But going into the crux of my post. I want you all to know this!

- WHETHER OR NOT ALL OUR PLAYERS WHO PLAYED OUR QUALIFIERS ARE BENCE WARMERS WITH SEAT BELTS IN THEIR CLUBS, THEY WILL STILL GO TO THE WORLD CUP. FACT!

- UNDER ROHR, WE QUALIFIED FOR THE WORLD CUP WITH THESE SET OF PLAYERS YOU ALL SO HATE DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE COULDN'T QUALIFY FOR TWO NATIONS CUP BACK UNDER THREE DIFFERENT COACHES, THEREFORE THESE SAME SET OF PLAYERS WHO MADE OUR WORLD CUP JAMBOREE POSSIBLE WILL BE THERE, ATLEAST 80% OF THEM WILL BE LIVE IN RUSSIA INCLUDING IHEANACHO. IF YOU LIKE CHOKE ON IT.

- THE ERA OF CHANGING THE TEAM UNDER THE DISGUISE OF "LOOKING FOR BETTER PLAYERS" IS GONE. IF YOU WANT TO Be PLAYED AT THE TOURNAMENT PROPER, FIGHT TO BE WITH THE TEAM DURING QUALIFIERS BECAUSE AFTER QUALIFICATION, YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING THE TEAM DROPS TO 20% EXCEPT OFCOURSE YOU ARE PLAYING IN THE MOON.

- THESE CURRENT BOYS KEPT FAITH WITH THE TEAM, PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT, DELIVERERD DURING THE QUALIFIERS, AND THEREFORE DESERVE TO BE ON THE PLANE TO RUSSIA. EVEN IF WE LOSE OUT IN THE GROUP STAGE(GOD FORBID), SO BE IT!

- NOT TOO LONG AGO, ALGERIA WAS NO1 IN AFRICA, CAMEROUN WON THE NATIONS CUP AND PLAYED IN THE CONFEREDATIONS CUP. THESE WERE THE TEAMS ROHR AND HIS BOYS WERE PAIRED AGAINST WITH. NO ONE GIVE THEM A CHANCE, YET THEY QUALIFIED WITH A RECORD. THAT IN ITSELF IS A HISTORY! AN HISTORY THEY ARE GOING WITH TO WORLD CUP. WE WILL NOT GO TO RUSSIA WITH PLAYERS WHO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW WE GOT THERE! THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN

- ROHR HAS SAID ONLY 4 PLAYERS ARE WHAT HE NEEDS TO BEEF UP HIS TEAM, FIGHT FOR YOUR PLAYERS TO BE AMONG THE FOUR AND LEVEL IHEANACHO ALONE!

Iheanacho this, Iheanacho that, the same Iheanacho that was not getting playing time but kept on scoring everytime he wore our shirt, to the point he scored a beautiful free kick against Argentina ranked 4th in the world.

I dare you all Iheanacho enemies and haters to name one player in the history of Nigeria football that has ever scored a free-kick against a top 10 ranking team whether in a competition, friendly, 5-aside, Sunday set or in training match!

I dare you all to name just that one player who has ever scored a direct free-kick like that. Either you name that player or you keep mute and forever hold your peace!

The five of you that I mentioned are not fans, you are agents seeking to do an "uchebo" on us. It will not work. No matter how fans criticise their team, they will celebrate whenever the same team wins a match. Never have there been any time any one of you guys celebrate the SE for winning any game here. All you do is to go "ghost mode" for a while only to jump back in castigating players. Or you think many here haven't noticed your pattern of comments?

SMH

So long as chicharito was on seat belt in both Man U & Real Madrid but still commanded first team shirt in Mexico, IHEANACHO WILL GO TO THE WORLD CUP!

Haters choke on it

edi287:

Come on!! He doesn't hate Nacho. Everyone is worried about his lack of game time and what's looking like a poor move to Leicester.

goldfish80:


Italy have never gone to any tournament as underdogs since the first world war.

These teams you mentioned had players in the form of their lives prior to the those tournaments.
I'm talking about performing players, not world class player.
Can you name any player in these teams you listed who played reserve league football or with the U21's prior to those tournaments?

tbaba1234:


Come on, Kelechi has been outstanding for Nigeria.

Both players still have some time to get the required sharpness before the WC.

As we have seen before, top league form does not guarantee a good world cup, the opposite also holds true.

goldfish80:


Kelechi actually lost his starting position in the team to Ighalo after the loss to to South Africa. Odion would have started that friendly if he was fit . By the way, Kelechi started that game in Algiers, why haven't anyone mentioned how poor he was on the night?


I have been screaming my head off about Mancity's under development of Kelechi, even when his numbers were good. I saw through his performance. Not everyone understood what I was pointing at till last season and this current season.
Converting him to a striker was the worst thing to happen to his career. Even if he was to make the conversion, it shouldn't have been this early in his career.

Napoleon55:
the thing is,they usually run far away from the thread so that no one would force them to eat their words in shame,whenever SE wins a major game or tourney,only to resurface after we must have forgotten them.
i still remember a certain dude here that all his problem was Mikel,
whenever Mikel is mentioned,he must come to talk against him.
to him,Mikel is our worst player then,
before the Olympics,he was all over shouting how Mikel is going flop at Olympics,those of us tried to counter him that Mikel is our engine room.
But after the Olympics he was no where to be seen,up till now,that we cannot do well without Mikel.
i just want to see that guy since Mikel started proving him wrong beyond any reasonable doubt.
all these myopic people shouting down Iheanacho,now that he is having bit difficulty in his career,just like the case of Mikel,they will crawl back into their holes,and hide ,or change their moniker,
when Iheanacho bounces back

Cc: Goldfish80..
Dedebanky..
Let us all assume dat we have all. Come to our senses, and realised dat u are right.. These bench warmers dat u spoke of, are we taking them to the WC at d expense of any player dat is performing extremely wonderfully in Europe??.
So Wat do u advise we do, strip this team of its key players cos they are bench warmers and bring in a new 11 consisting of world class players dat have never kicked a ball for d SE b4 now, or wat exactly.... How about we start proferring solutions like maybe d players we should call up instead... Cos I dunno y u guys will still criticize d team players wen they are obviously delivering... It's not we can field Aguero or Gaby Jesus,abi na ogbeche, Martins ,Fred Friday , &Bonaventure Una wan carry??

TheGoodJoe:


Manchester City's under development of Kelechi Iheanacho. Ye! We are talking of a boy who became a key player of the Super Eagles in a short time working under Manchester City. Haaaaa. Manchester City is competitive. Finish. Even a talented and experienced Nolito could not keep up with Sane.

Manchester City is the best thing that has happened to Iheanacho so far.

goldfish80:


It appeared a success on the short term, on the long term, here we are......

freeme5:
E be like say Iheanacho knows that he won't be listed in yesterday's match because he has been enjoying himself in Iwobi's house since yesterday.Check out Alex 's snapcaht) The guy looks like a happy follow despite what is happening to him at his club

TheGoodJoe:


If we lose, your likes will be the ones to run the coach down. Iheanacho in his last game for Nigeria played well for us. Scored a free kick and worked hard for the team. Rohr despite seeing lack of game time of Iheanacho was spot on to stick with Iheanacho and he performed against a formidable opponent.

Rohr will not drop one of his performing players to suit your narrative.

Icon4s:


Even encyclopedia cannot give you the answers to your question in the last paragraph.

Italy were not underdogs
But they were not among the pre-tournament favorites.

Nobody is saying we are going to win the WC.

And nothing wrong if some set a semi final target for us. Of course you know you set targets that are slightly above your reach but such that with hard work you can reach it.

We cannot be going into this world cup and be setting a 2nd round or q/final target. Something others have achieved a long time ago.

If we set a semifinal target and end up in the quarters good. We go with that and aim higher next time.

Please don't write this team off because some of the players play in less competitive leagues and some in the top leagues don't see playing time.

In my years of followership of the WC I have seen where teams that were written off emerge very strongly and teams loaded with world class players crumble.

forgiveness:



When did you see me critics our team because losing in a friendly?

I am not normally perturbed with outcomes or results of our friendlies but with just how we play.

If we win and played badly, then I will pick holes to avoid such mistakes in a competitive match.


However, I didn't see what Iheanacho played in that friendly save for the free kick after watching the match 4 times.

safarigirl:
see ehn, just leave forgiveness

Anything he says of Kelechi comes from a place of spite, the way he abhors that boy, I won't be surprised if Kelechi got a spot in the U17 at the detriment of one of his relatives and the mere idea of Kelechi progressing rattles his nerves

TheGoodJoe:


Not short term or long term. Nacho was up against two quality players. He is up against Jamie Vardy who is a respected hitman. Okazaki is good also. Mahrez and Gray are all good players. Give the young man time. The under development talk is not true.

junnyjake:


Same with Onyekuru and Uzoho

Ola Aina posted a Man of the match performance today against Derby as a LB.




Josh Onomah on the scoresheet for Villa against Brentford in their loss.

edi287:

We can offset this if we have a bit more creativity out wide and a deep lying playmaker. However if Rohr goes and plays a midfield 3 of Onazi, Ndidi and Etebo with ONLY Iwobi as a creative threat, WE ARE SCREWED. Rohr should NEVER ever do that do that again.

forgiveness:


NFF are only deceiving themselves.

This Josh Onomah is the Only player in England I rate highly than both Ademola Lookman and Dominic Solanke but they are busy chasing winds.


Sheyi Ojo is another monster we have to get.

These two players are ready to play for our father's land nau nau but NFF will not take advantage now that we are going to the WC.


Just allow them come to the camp and play in one of those our next friendlies, it will make them feel they belong here.

If they perform well good and if not good.


But NFF is waiting until they become superstars for Tottenham and Liverpool before they star chasing them.

Since Rohr isn't really sold on Aluko, Joel, Ajagun or the rest. I won't be surprised if he chooses Bazee.
