The level of competitiveness of the league one plays doesn't count again ba?

Then let those CBs that play in the NPFL week-in week out take the place of Leon Balogun.

Bro, success is not good enough. Simple. Whether or not he plays in the epl.

Afterall, Ndidi, Iwobi (who I still think is overhyped) plays quite regularly in the EPL

That's why your country will remain poverty capital of the world as long as you move on.

Nope...its because people like you supported a slowpoke like Buhari for reelection... Rohr player selection has nothing to do with it..

those guys over the years have stamped their place on the national team invitee
especially nacho..the first goal the super eagles ever scored in rohr's reign was done by nacho and many other goals
you don't expect any coach to ignore such a player quickly because of a rough path he is currently plying

but still he has the friendly to prove himself...

everyone here knows that nacho is a good finisher even though he has currently lost form and currently being lackadaisical.
and for Ogu... you know sure well the calmness he brings into the game and his ability to shoot from afar precisely
he proved himself against algeria and that alone impressed rohr compared to agu with so many chances he failed to utilize

Since the algeria match, Ogu has been a below average player for the SE. I don't understand the hype behind that guy at all

@ ur second to the last paragraph, well it looks like the coaches don't see Awoniyi as such (no offense intended,) that is just what it is. Even Success who plays in a more competitive league didn't make the squad list.

I laughed when I saw a commentet like "Rohr is not in charge". Even if you Sir Kog45 draws a 25man list your list will also be criticized.

That was a very fair list from Rohr in my opinion. Good morning all.
Honestly very good list but sometimes we just need to review it and see may be one or two players deserve to be on the list and I think Awoniyi deserve a spot based on his performance this season.

I no say na Austria wein you go talk

Is there any striker in Israel league that's in that list NO

How many striker there has started games for the eagles in an important match ?

No be ighalo dey almost start all the games then iheanacho ?

Has osimhen or Paul started a competitive match ?

The last time I check kayode has 4 appearance for eagles

There is a certain nwakaeme doing well that was not called up also ,there is also a certain sly igboun

Calm down

Whether it's important or friendly, the point is, he was never started but others got started.

For 14, 20, 19 and 3 minutes games? Is that what you call chances?

Those players you mentioned are wingers and not strikers.

I'm telling u,if Rohr was Nigerian he would have been accused of collecting bribe to keep Ogu in the national team...

Ogu has never been a stater in the national team.. He is more like the kind of player you keep around for d vibe .u know dressing room vibe and d like...Something of a James Milner kind of player (expect that he isn't an utility player like James) ..

I expect him to retire after the AFCON .

In fact it is only honourable that the likes of Ogu, Mikel, Ighalo and Akpeyi retire from the national team after the AFCON whether or not we win it

This has nothing to do with favourite players, it's has to do with credibility and performance.

Do these so called favourite players deserve to be called?

I told him earlier that awoniyi deserved to be on the list but Paul should not be dropped for him

I think you are the one who jump into conclusion and not me

At the bolded no be only 2 players dem go drop ,was that the first thing he said ,if nacho will be dropped then why fight for awoniyi to be there ahead of Paul

Awoniyi didn't even make the standby list ,that should tell you about rohr

Rohr in-charge? undecided

Sometimes when people clamour for players inclusion in the national team,they forget that the national team structure is totally different from club structure .

Spots in the national team are limited... and game time itself is limited.. u have to prove yourself at club level before u get called up to the national team and u have to perform in the national team to keep ur spot there..

Forgiveness I support your argument that Awoniyi deserves to be on the list...but then the players who made the list ahead of him deserve it too... In the case of Paul,he has been consistent since he moved to the Danish league. He should have been called up long ago but there where others ahead of him..and now he has gotten his chance and made good use of it... osimhen too has been in good form this season...
Even Iheanacho deserves another chance to redeem himself. Don't forget that he was our best striker before his loss of form..Regardless of his club form,I think he has done well enough with the super eagles to merit another chance..

Awoniyi is still young.. he will still play for the super eagles.. let him keep working hard...missing an AFCON spot isn't the end of the road for him...
So relax...

I don't want him dropped either, coz he brings something special to the Squad and he's gonna be a dependable, reliable super sub and be more useful where power is required.

My Point is; Forgiveness made the Reference, to neutralize the flimsy Excuse gave to support the potential Inclusion of Iheanacho in the final List.

But as per Okereke; In his Words.... Awoniyi failed to deliver in ordinary U23 Qualifier. Elder indeed..... Lol!

Exactly my point.

Osimhen scored Hattrick for the U23 and becomes a National Hero, Awoniyi scored brace in Lusaka for the same U23 Team led by Siasia..... No it was scored in 2005 and for the All Africa Game U23 Team.

are you guys talking about the Awoniyi that witnessed a slump at d beginning of the season?? I do not think he is ahead of any of the strikers in the List of players invited (Iheanacho inclusive) . if d coach was to even consider Awoniyi it should in d stand by list. Simy Nwankwo is even a better player

Why should I relax? Did I bring up the matter?

Why can't you address the person that claimed Iheanacho deserved to be on the list because he plays in a far higher league than Awoniyi neglecting the fact that Awoniyi is also playing in a far far far far far league higher than the Danish league where Paul is?

Why can't you address the person that claimed Awoniyi is not consistent enough to be called into the National team but didn't tell how consistent Osimhen was before he got a call into the National team?

Please, save your advice for yourself because you are bias in judgement. Thanks

i'm not surprised by the list matches the names i was expecting. glad to see odogwu he would definitely make our midfield infinitely better from a creative and control standpoint. iheanacho is there solely on past exploits nothing more i expect him to be dropped when the the final 23 man list gets out.

my thoughts on the list :-

coaches should have done better as regards the list of goalkeepers. should have given more home based keepers a chance to showcase their skills i'm certain one would have shown more promise than uzoho, ezenwa or akpeyi. anyway what is done is done just try and make the best of a poor situation.

defence is pretty solid long time that we had a squad with this strength in depth and quality especially regarding our centre backs. expect one of awaziem or ajayi to be dropped.

midfield is now abit more solid with the addition of Mikel. i understand peoples concern with the lack of options with our midfield but the cold truth is we don't have too many outstanding midfielders. nwakali brothers haven't improved on their earlier promise, ifeanyi matthew is just there, ebere eze still learning the craft, others like ofoborh still in the youth setup. that said it's my sincere belief that with mikel's addition the midfield should be able to match up against the best in africa.

attack is really good. in my opinion for the first time since the 1994 squad we have an incredible set of talented and fearsome wingers.musa and ighalo's experience should complement the youthful vigour of onuachu and osimhen.

this squad is definitely better than the 2013 set that won the AFCON but unfortunately they will be facing more formidable opposition. my personal expectation is for them to attempt to win the AFCON. i think with good tactical coaching and luck it can be done. i know a lot people have doubts about rohr's tactical acumen but one can only hope they succeed and support the team.

on a related i think awoniyi was hard done by. he has had a good season far better than iheanacho yet he's not even good enough to be on standby!? no that's not fair. and please let's not use the olympic qualifier against libya as an excuse to say he's not ready cos even samuel chukwueze that was drafted to face the libyans in the second leg had an average game yet samu is going to AFCON while taiwo is stuck at home. this is not the best

as for iheanacho issue is straightforward really. he's currently not good enough and should be eventually dropped national team is not a rehabilitation centre.

wish the team all the best.

LET'S GO SUPER EAGLES!

I don't have affection for certain players from certain region in Nigeria. That's a pure undiluted lie.
