Luckyroro:
I have been following this thread for a very long time now and I must confess that this is the most interesting and informative thread about the Super Eagles. From my viewing of the thread I've been able to identify a few Bosses who are good and I must start with paying homage to them before I officially join the thread. Tbaba.1234 Icon4.s Ko.mekn and The.supernerd I greet you all. I am now a member of this thread and I want you guys to accord me any privilege you accord the old members. For what's worth, I'm a product of very late 80's so my knowledge of Nigeria football dates back to 1999 U20 tourney. I am an ardent supporter of Super Eagles so we are all on same page.

forgiveness:


You people are playing with fire with this Eze.

Omeruo is not his mate.

Icon4s:


Welcome on board bro.
And know that this is a forum of analysts of all generations. Nobody is too young and nobody is too old here. Some people here watched the 1978 WC qualifiers while I have seen someone that started following since Germany 2006.

No idea is stupid as long as you can justify and defend it. So feel free to share your ideas and knowledge of the game.

Emmm.....please meet the First Lady of the house: Safarigirl who will welcome you with a sumptuous dinner.

Then after which you move upstairs where you have the elders council for induction and indoctrination.

Once again, Welcome on board!

Joebie:
Obi

gamaliel9:
Ighalo is a power forward..Simi is more technical....more of an Inzaghi type of striker

Humility017:

omeruo still has the problem of gifting opponent goals....
he always make mistakes when he gets to play for 90 mins.... I fear for him alot.

forgiveness:


How old is Eze? How old is Arokoyo?

Who is Eze to have been considered for the Super Eagles?

See who is accusing someone of tribalism and yet set double standards.

Oga, even though I don't expect Arokoyo on the list but I don't agree Eze is ahead of him as at this moment.

However, Ambrose should have been given the chance ahead of Eze. GBAM

chidexxy007:
Nothing to strike fear in that provisional list. i hope it gets reviewed

Icon4s:

The way some of you draw conclusions here sef.

Humility017:

oga icon4 abeg chill....
na my choice...be that.
I have not.really been impressed with omeruo and elderson of late.
he has since not live up to hype when he first rose to stardom some years ago....

it's my opinion though...

Kog45:
Yes you are right but not Eze,the only defender that can fairly compete with our CBs is Adeleye Olamilekan but out injured.

Kog45:
I think Omeruo had a good season in Turkish league even than Ekong.

TheSuperNerd:



Those who saw 1978 WC qualifiers, and maybe even 1976 Afcon sef... I don't doubt their presence here at all... In fact, I have seen most of you all....


Buuttttttt... I wanna see that person wey start to dey follow football since Germany 2006 .... Who is this mystery person?

TheSuperNerd:

I feel same Boss Joseph. But I just decided to hide all that and just stay focused on the list. Onyekuru was in super form and surely in line to feature in Nigeria's provisional list since the start of the about-to-be-concluded season. His early season form and eventual invitation to the Super Eagles was testament to his quality and he was in line to possibly break into Nigeria's final 23.
But unfortunately, that old ugly monster called "Injury" came and ruined his chances. It is really sad. Onyekuru will be back. I expect to see him at Afcon 2019. He should just stay strong and keep the fire burning. He has a bright future ahead.

Also, Kayode. I feel for him too. But I guess it came down to a choice between him and Simy. Kayode should keep pushing. He is still a part of the team even from the fringes.

I guess we can only wish the team the best and pray for all players to stay fit and be ready and for those recovering to recover well.

It is nice hearing from you again Boss. Trust all is well with you Sir. Been a long while.

Joebie:
I believe Ambrose can (or can at least present a decent cover just in case one of the regulars are injured just as forgiveness argued ), but it seems Rohr is not disposed to older players.

OMANBALA1:


Ighalo is not just about power...pay attention when he holds the ball.Dude is very skillful and highly technical. I have absolute confidence in the guy for his patience,perseverance and phenomenal hardwork. Ighalo is our most complete and dependable striker.

Icon4s:


And what will you say of Awaziem?

forgiveness:



Please, don't lie to me ooooooo. Are you ok with Lokosa on the list?

forgiveness:

Danielnino00:
Ain't got much to say on the list... it was very predictable. no surprise.. Simmy Nwankwo really did earn his place by hitting form at the right time.. I guess playing in a better league places him ahead of d likes of Umar,Dessers and Onuachu.. as for Lokosa,I don't expect him to make the final 23 man list and his inclusion might just b an attempt to improve the league. but if he does well in the friendly, I see no reason why he shouldn't make d final list..
Really gutted for Onyekuru tho.. injury came at a bad time.. but he is still young.. let him keep doing his thing.. Qatar 2022 awaits him and the many young bubbling talents we have out there..


If Rohr is serious about being fair in his final selection, he must give d fringe players their chances in the friendly... I'll like us to play DRC with this team

Akpeyi (Ajiboye )

Aina
Eze
Omeruo
Echijele

Agbo
Agu


Musa
Joel (Etebo)
Simeon

Simmy (Lokosa)

Humility017:

my brother... that dude name on that list is yusuf salisu and alloy agu handwork...

though would have preferred kayode...
because lakosa hasn't really prove to me to better than onmitted guys like kayode and umar sadiq...

but still you and I know he won't make the final cut....

joseph1013:


I'm well. Crazy schedule this year. But I'm always following proceedings.

Kog45:
Omeruo prone to error is exaggerated.He had 37 caps and apart from South Africa and Zambia match where his errors were visible i don't see any one again or do you remember any Omeruo error match apart from SA and Zambia.

Icon4s:


you dey find person wey you wan form Elder over abi?

I know someone mentioned it some time past but I cant remember who exactly.

You know a lot of peeps have updated themselves and also have been updated by elders here about what happened in the 80s and 90s so you don't know who be indomie generation again cos almost everyone is up to date now

Humility017:

rohr does not know him...to be honest.
the suggestion/input from our local coaches puts him there.

ajsans:

He, Lokosa is currently in Belgium , negotiating with a club interested in him. That's an insider information. Honestly we need to give him a chance at the national level. I have personally watched him play on two occasions at the Sani Abacha Stadium. His hunger for goal is second to nill compared to any NPL player at the moment.

Chrismario:


Not so good, but they all did better than kayode

safarigirl:
So, the list is finally out

Congrats to the two new additions, however, only Simy might stand a chance of breaking into the squad, if any will

When last did Echiejile play under Rohr? That should give us an idea of where he stands. I would suggest he find whoever Omeruo paid to make him trend on Twitter, he will probably need that for the 23-man list


I think the seven players to be dropped will be Akpeyi/Aiyenugba, Eze, Lokosa, Echiejile, Agu, Agbo, Joel Obi/Aina.


I see the usual wailer(s) are out, discrediting a good list ....no surprises really
