OMG, dropping Ola Aina is totally unfair, this is the guy that has England future, but he chosed to play for Nigeria, Plus he is very good attacking and can dribble. Let the coach explain to us why Echiejile and Idowu are better than him.
report that emanated from the training camp that took place in Nigeria was that he was playing school boy football, the brief cameo against DRC proved the reports right and my suspicion that he wasn't going to make the list.
N.B: Maybe he felt Nigeria owe him for switching allegiance, I like him sha but he should use the disappointment as stepping stone for next AFCON

Aina has been useless in all the matches he has played for Nigeria. He was terrible against Argentina and Congo. Only a person who does not follow the Nigerian matches would want Aina in this team. There is no sentiments here, he failed to show any quality when he was given the opportunity. Elderson played all the qualifying matches and was never as bad as Aina. Those are facts. As for Agu, it was a toss up between him and Joel and the coach went with Joel because he can play as a midfielder, winger and left back. For an obvious reserve player, such versatility is important.

Really,why Spain picked carvajal ahead of roberto is versatility is very important??The decision is very bad nd not good enough for us.

Would have preferred a Nwakali to a Joel Obi in that list.

Nwakali never had a chance as he was not part of the provisional list in the first place.

Eagles starting 11 against Croatia.

1, Francis Uzoho
2, Tyrone Ebuehi
3, Elderson Echiejile
4, Mikel Obi
5, Troost-Ekong
6, Kenneth Omeruo
7, Ahmed Musa
8, Wilfred Ndidi
9, Odion Ighalo
10 Alex Iwobi
11, Victor Moses.

Having Musa and Echiejile on the same flank is suicidal. Idowu beats Echiejile in all aspects of the game.

Echiejile over Aina? Chaiii..
Other national team coaches gave explanation why some certain players were dropped. The Nigeria head coach should tell Nigerians why the likes of Aina was dropped and why Onazi and Joel Obi made the list.
God bless u. Those guys don't have anything to offer as midfielders.

Bro, Ola Aina cannot make England standby players squad not to talk of making their world cup squad. Echiejile was picked ahead of Ola bc of his experience. The rest of the full backs are way ahead of Aina.

I don't think Rohr is still in charge ,how can he drop an aggressive player like Ola Aina and keep Dumbo's like Joel Obi? Mikel Agu is understandable,but honestly what is Onazi doing there? Definitely not experience,beause Mikel,Moses,Ighalo ,Omeruo,Etebo ,Musa and Ogu are there...so not fair,a anyway thank God Simy Nwankwo is there,thats our joker .

Nobody is actually in charge of anytin in Nigeria.
Nigeria entered into autopilot 2015 and since then nobody is in charge of anytin not even our beloved soccer that used to bring us happiness

Idowu is better defensively but Aina should have made the list ahead of Elderson because playing him as a LW(his link up play and ball delivery is quite good) against teams like Argentina and Croatia would help limit how much their RBs come forward.

Echiejile and Idowu play left side of defence while Ola Aina play right side. To me shehu has no business being there. Ola is more better than him. At yesterday's match he was jittery. His crosses remind me of secondary school match. His movement with ball doesn't show him as footballer.

... My Nigeria X1 4-2-3-1
Uzoho
Ebuehi -Ekong -balogun -idowu
Mikel- Ndidi
Ihenacho/Musa - iwobi - Moses
Ighalo

Your starting 11 is one of the best on this thread.

Aina is still better than Echiejile Though. I guess he was dropped cause of the mistakes he made against the DRC, same way Oruma was dropped b4 Korea/Japan W/c cause of the mistakes he made in the friendly match vs Ireland.

4-2-3-1 musa behind ighalo 4-4-2 musa ighalo up front 4-2-1-3 moses behind iwobi ighalo musa... 4-3-3 moses in midfield even 3-4-3 elderson LCB left centre back he is a defensive full back so playing left centre back would be easy ebuehi will play left wing back he should be able to play the position then moses right wing back
It would be Iwobi playing the central position.
He hardly stayed on the wing yesterday and was eventually moved to a more central position.
4-2-3-1 would have iwobi playing behind ighalo while 4-4-2 would have iwobi and ighalo but iwobi would have a free role.
Even in a 3-4-3 I think it would be
DEF = Kenneth, Ekong, Leon
MID = Idowu, Etebo, Mikel, Ebuehi
FWD = Iwobi, Ighalo, Moses

my starting 11

4-4-2

Goal keeper: Francis Uzoho

Defenders: William Ekong, Leon Balogun, tryonne Ebuehi, Brian Idowu

Midfielders: Mike Obi, Etebo, Iwobi, Ndidi

Striker: Ighallo and Moses
The only change i'll make is drop Moses to midfield and give Iwobi a free role up front.

The issue with Spain isn't Carvajal but Odriozola.
Carvajal has always been spains first choice right back.

Go back to the qualifiers, Sheu had no bad game throughout, in fact he was MOTM against Zambia

So you will select Omeruo aheadjil of Leon Balogun?Etebo needs to replace Ahmed musa,we need more of mdfield players to reduce our suffering that day not a keke speed rider.

Clearly, Joel Obi's inclusion is so political!! How on earth did he make the team?/all the matches he has played so far, his rating has been below 5. Dude has been badly bad!

Onazi is quite lucky he is vice-captain, dude is finished as a footballer.

I feel for Ola Aina tho. He is a victim of football illluck. His exclusion is understandable, no coach will take 3 full backs to the WC
