Mickael2:
some teams like Wolves and Leeds are playing better than Swansea for example, the case is he might go there and start from the bench assuming the coach even wants him

A good number our players were playing in the creme de La creme of Europes top leagues.

Yekini was top goal scorer in the Portuguese league.

Amokachi was tearing it up in Belguim, Finidi, Kanu, Oliseh were Ajax products to mention a few.

Icon4s:
Please if you know any player that can add quality to the Chemistry abeg recommend to us.

Icon4s:
See, I don't even care of we crash out at the group stage.

The fact remains that for the first time since after Westerhoff we are having a coach that understands the elements of team building. And the NFF should try and keep Rohr as we build up for the 2022 WC.

The transformation in the team Rohr has achieved within his short spell thus far is very remarkable.

So let nobody come here and start shouting "we said it, we said it". It doesn't hold water because we are even the least seeded team in that group.

I have already made a comparison of this team with that of the 90s and how this team falls short. But that does not stop me from expecting a good outing for the boys.

TheGoodJoe:
Do not fall into the trap of the comparison games some like to play. What matters is that they are young men working hard to do great things. We must not like or hate one as some want.

I will celebrate Solanke's first Liverpool goal, just as I celebrated Iheanacho's first goal for Leicester City.

Mujtahida:
Amokachi was not tearing anything in Belgium. He joined super eagles while he was in ranchers bees of kaduna. He later went to Belgium. Siasia was warming the bench in Belgium. Kog45 has given a list of the club's the golden generation were playing in and they were all average players playing for average teams. Some were not even playing. They were permanent bench warmers. When i pointed it out to you the last time you said 2027 is not 94 but here you are hyping amokachi. You guys hammering on the fact that our team is average don't understand what a team is all about. Its the same mentality that gets Nigerians hooked to certificates. We need a team with a winning mentality. That's all that matters. The story of the rabbit (stellar player/team) and the tortoise (average player/team) comes to mind.

Danielnino00:
I'm a Liverpool fan and I've watch solanke enough to know how good he is... And I won't deny that he is presently a better player than Iheanacho albeit having scored zero goals for Liverpool so far..


But what concern us with him? I don't get this ur chronic obsession with the foreign born players oo.. That was how u kept ranting about Tiago Ilori the other day??

Abeg,the only thing that makes these guys feel Nigerian is their parents.. All of them have their eyes on the three lions,we shouldn't bother about them at all until they put on the GWG...

If u are really passionate about the national team like u claim, u won't stop so low to be comparing somebody like Iheanacho that has scored 8 gaols in 14 games for d super eagles with Solanke that's still riding on his U-20 world cup glory....

kingphilip:
so which players are tearing the top leagues in Europe that are yet to be invited in the SE

We need names to substitute for the current players and not just saying the present players are cutting it without giving us alternatives

joseph1013:
If we crash out at the group stage, Rohr will be sacked.

We will be back to square one.

Our players are not playing and those that are playing are not setting their clubs on fire. But since we don't have better replacements, all we can hope is for the teamwork that has always worked for us to keep working.

That's the best we can hope for going into the Mundial.

komekn:
As a Liverpool associate I can tell you that Solanke bring more to the table as a striker than KC.

Being awarded the best player in the World U20 is not being over rated. He has some quality strikers in is way, his time will come.

forgiveness:
Daniel Amokachi had won two Ebony awards and placed 3rd once prior to the world. In short, he won the award prior to the WC and he was the 8th highest goal scorer with two digit goals.


Rashidi and Amuneke were AFOTY award winning players prior to the WC.

Siasia was playing with Nantes in Ligue 1 prior to that WC.

nelszx:
Onyekuru won't be out for 6 months as earlier speculated. Injury doesn't require surgery and he should be back within 6 weeks.

TheGoodJoe:
Another person who knows more than Pellegrini. A master of the game.

joseph1013:
You employ the Appeal to Authority fallacy too much. In the face of evidence and fact, you'd rather hide behind an authority.

But you're not even consistent with it. When someone else uses it, you revert to "you cannot tell me what I watched with my eyes" escape.

It's all poor argument tactics.

We should learn to succumb in the face of superior arguments.

Icon4s:
Thank you my brother

The intensity with which this Iheanacho case is being argued is unhealthy.

Do you know there will be people that will be wishing for Iheanacho not to score in any game just to prove a point and vice versa.

Iheanacho is our son but he is not the only Nigerian player in Europe. Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi have been getting plenty of playing time in the EPL yet we hardly discuss them. It is Iheanacho that has been on the bench and missing from match day squad back to back that is getting the headlines here.

Please let's thread softly on the Iheanacho case and move on.

Icon4s:
Thanks. Me no too follow French league like that o.
It will be a good move then. Hope he becomes first choice.

That will be the first step.....

The person who mentioned 'maybe 6 months' was the Anderlecht coach, Hein without medical confirmation.

Thankfully, it is not that bad.

Mujtahida:
Both the pro and anti iheanacho camps are not good for discourses on the young man. Some act like iheanacho came out of their skin. People expressing their biases whether negative or positive using the young man as their field. It's enough cos it ain't healthy no more. The discussions doesn't show iheanacho. It shows you guys. I see no iheanacho. Aĺl I see is unhealthy, sick debates.

Personally I am aĺl joy when our players perform so I do not understand how someone will rejoice over nacho's plight just to prove an argument. More so the young man is in the SE on his merit because despite his travails at club levels he tries his best when in the gwg. I have looked around to see who that player is that iheanacho is denying a chance in the SE yet I see none but you guys want rohr to drop him. Are you guys who reason like this being realistic and fair at aĺl. Worse are those whose opinion suggest he should not be there because solanke is in their opinion better than him. How ridiculous can that be.

And sir komekn. Once iheanacho and osimhen are mentioned you warm up and talk with alot of putdowns. I really don't understand it. Sometimes it looks so personal to me.
