Watching Jamilu Collins.. Second half about to start. I did not watch the first half.

Ok, I trust you to give us a fair assessment of his performance.

Icon4s:


Are Tunisia and Panama the only countries they beat? Did they not beat Colombia and Sweden?

And to the bolded, you mean 2014. Matches won earn you points. We only won 1 match in 2014 but this English team won 4 matches! Is that not enough to push them far?

I am not sure winning on penalties is counted as a win. Sweden is ranked what?

safarigirl:
don't mind darkelf. Nacho's own is suspect, but Ighalo deserves all the call ups.

If you put Ighalo and Iheanacho in any viewing centre in Nigeria today, they will beat up Ighalo before they will even notice Iheanacho.


Ighalo is the number one wasteman in that team. One of the biggest flops especially considering how old he is. Is it not shameful that he is being constantly compared to somebody that was in U17 when he started his professional career?

At every level Ighalo has played for the National team he has been USELESS. He has been a proven wasteman for ages, it is not today he started being a waste of space, Iheanacho at EVERY LEVEL of national football has trumped him

That is the ONLY FACT in all this talk

Chai, Ighalo can faint if he reads this comment.

Nne na wa o.

My point is you drop a player on the back of sever poor national team showing, and that does not mean he won’t be invited subsequently. A player has no business being a regular bench warmer especially when there are other deserving players dying for a chance.

Modified

Let me sum this up by saying my point is find the best competition for the regulars.

TheLoneCitizen:



You stated
"The big positives is that Echiejile has been shown the way out. But if for example Collins cannot threaten Idowu’s place, we want to see what Deji can do right away. If Deji can’t, let’s see ikwuowem right away. If Ikwuowem fails, let’s see Duru right away.et it rotate until we have another viable option. I mean this for all the playing positions. The regulars should be pushed constantly. That’s my position." That's trial and error.

Look at Leighton Baines of Everton, he is facing new competition from Lucas Digne, but he doesn't just see his position taken outrightly, he is eased out of the squad.

If you want Onazi to be out of the team, you don't just stop inviting him, you ease him out of the squad, these are senior players. Germany can't just stop inviting Tony Kroos, look at the way Nainggolan was eased out of the Belgian squad.

komekn:
It's not surprising to me that the almost hysterical calls for Sadiq Umar have become TOTALLY SILENT.

Dude has gone to Rangers and has been unable to show his outstanding physicality as some described him too be. He was being compared to Tega Abrahams and an option in comparison to Ighalo.

I long ago said he wasn't good enough for league 1 and I was lambasted.

At Rangers Oviemuno is the first choice midfielder and is making waves. I believe Umar may come good if given time but at the moment he has a lot to learn. Gérard described him as unfit.

Meanwhile there are no calls for Oviemuno but we are inviting a youth player to the SE.

After the Salisu scandal these type of selections open us up to claims of unwholesome practices.

Sadiq is a very awkward football player. I get quite gobsmacked when I see how highly rated he is here.
His people should better explore leagues in the gulf region where he will comfortably make decent money before sunset.
I will be more than happy to eat my words if it turned out I was wrong about him.

Wining on penalty gives you a win. You get points for it. Sweden were ranked 24th While Colombia were on 16th.

Yes Echiejile is out but replaced by Jamilu Collins a division two player in Germany?playing for pade...sorry hearing the name of the club for the first time.

Icon4s:

Chief forget assessment. Jamilu belong to set of players that uses super eagles to boost their career.

I also raised eye brows just are you did. But watching his youtube highlights I felt just maybe he is someone we can actually look at.

Na today Chief. U don dey this biz for long na.

Fact Jamilu belong to an agent and hope he comes good in GWG

Chief no be highlights we watched tey before WC.

Eagles deserve grade a player not team B player.

Icon4s:

Decent performance, loves the overlap. He has made a few interceptions as well. His team is down to 10 men.

He would be a good addition to the team.

Bundesliga 2 is better than some top divisions. In my opinion, better than belgium and perhaps the eredivise as it is today.

The match, i am watching is not bad.

Yes it’s a good development. But will Collins give Idowu a good fight? I’m hoping he does.

Options? why not.It all depends on Rohr.

Pls before this invitation did you guys say anything on Jamilu.

As i said hope he comes good in GWG.

Oga I can believe anything now .some times it seems as though some players will never get a look in. I would like to see Semi Ajayi who just got promoted from League 1. . There are players who have clocked hundreds of minutes in the past in the Championship. But the thing with Ajayi is he doesn’t need a FIFA clearance, so I understand.

We have no option but to turn to the lower divisions. We’ve seen Madu and Amuzie who are largely bench warmers. Let’s see what Collins can bring.

over hyping players b4 proper national team test is one of d bane we have in dis thread,@ d end such player fails to live up to d hype
d likes of idowu(biggest scam in d history of nija football),J.obi,etc,now one jamilu collins ,atleast let c him play first in gwg colors b4 rating him over d existing full backs we av/had

Idowu is the only left back we have now. I think he is okay. But that kind of player should not even be on the bench of a strong team. There is still lots of work to do in this SE team.

Great then.

Adama traore is underrated..

Dude is balling like a baller

The problem is who would you invite instead?
Do we have forwards scoring consistently? Or would you invite an equally average forward playing in a lower league? We are not spoilt for choices in attack.

edi287:

This was the point I was trying to make when I said Nacho wasn't in top form. But for some strange reason, it was seen as taking a jab at him.

Lol GWG na another matter. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and be hopeful. Seychelles is not a real test though.

Icon4s:


Great then.

I predict an Iheanacho brace today. Plus another Iwobi shaku shaku.

Iwobi starting.... Of course why shouldnt he?


Musuit Lazy sorry ... Oezil not listed

hahaha

Homebased players will always get an opportunity to showcase themselves. I’m talking of players who will hardly get a chance whether for the main SE or the CHAN team. Players need opportunity. We have a rough idea of the best players we have in the home front based on what we have seen from the WAFU nations cup, CHAN and the Atletico friendly. If these players are truly not good enough for he main SE, what’s the point? Granted we can pick a few of them that are really good.

BascoVanVeli:



There is no excuse that can validate not inviting the home guys for a friendly against Liberia. Yes the league is on hold but every single club has been actively playing friendlies and Enyimba has even gone on to win a big match in the continent.

Arsenal waek link no 2?...Mkhitaryan


Confirmed!
