Mikel will walk into that team if he wants to.
BascoVanVeli:
It would be criminal to omit John Obi Mikel from that team.

Epistle... but u hit the nail on the head regardless.

As long as the players are performing they should be given a chance fight for a shirt.

forgiveness:
I am beginning to have a rethink. Chukwueze should be on the plane to AFCON and even start on the RW in every matches because he is currently the best Nigerian winger (RW) in the form of his life in the whole wide world as I write.

The Samuel Kalu who is suppose to play on that wing is currently not seeing game time in his club. In fact, he has not made 5 match day squad in their last 6 matches.

Are we going to the AFCON with an inform player (Samuel Kalu) who is not only currently warming bench but is not even considered for games?

In my humble opinion, if Samuel Kalu doesn't see games until the end of the season, and in addition, doesn't outshines Chukwueze, he should be replaced with Chukwueze direct and not even considered for a place in the squad.

We should also look for a player that can deputise for Chukwueze on the RW and I think Peter Olayinka is the best candidate for this. That's after seeing him in a friendly.

The fact that his club started him against Chelsea and he still went ahead to distinguished himself above all his team mates shows he deserves to be given a chance. At least this time around he is in form.

We saw what Paul Onuacha did when he was given the chance to prove himself.

Chukwueze might be our own Mbappe in this tournament. There's need to reward performance of players in other to encourage them to do better.

Bringing players not making match day squad over players doing better in a competitive league or tournament is a no no for me.

Paolo Guzzi (Chigozie) Iweru just had his debut wth Juventus.

Happy for him. A player I really like. His hard work is contagious. Our own Firmino
It's very hard for him to get a chance because the other guy keeps scoring. A player with 23 goals and 11 assists in 33 matches is hard to drop for Kayode. I am even suprised he started today.

Paolo’s Rating against SPAL

Paolo Guzzi Iweru 5: For his first professional match, the young defender showed good qualities. Quick, physical and author of beautiful lifts, he was almost never endangered during the game. A convincing beginning!
—90min

We may as well complain about everybody’s actions. That way we live our lives complaining everyday.
Oga! This is a national team and not private property. Distinguish the difference first before you make statement.

Cant we as well complain about the other boys that didn’t make the cut for the same reason?
If Omidiji had made the cut will u have said a word in defense of the others?

what's left for him is to keep eyeing and lobbying rohr to give him some of his players less 20 years of age...instead of him to go scout for players...

But KC was invited and he was given a chance in the very first game. Garba dropped him subsequently for football reasons, clearly.
forgiveness is making it look as if Manu Garba dropped Nacho because of bias. I am just pointing out Manu Garba has enough reasons to drop Iheanacho. So dropping him later was very fair of Manu Garba.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 8:03pm On Apr 13, 2019
Well KC needed to be in camp to make a case for himself regardless of his performance in Europe. Hence, I agree with u.

He is not a Ghanaian...
nigeria blooded folks with dual nationality abroad are of the most patriotic Africans you can find....

he can be lured....especially if his skin color is black.... should Aigbogun visit him and talk things out with him...I am so sure he will switch
but the lazy coach won't do that....
