The guy was too robotic against Algeria. Very stiff with no flair or dangerous runs. We should concentrate on yourger players abeg.nwakaeme and uduak na old men.

You get it.

And that made u make a case for nwakaeme? Did oshimeh do half of the little akpom have done in Greece when he was first invited to the super eagles setup? The game against Ukraine is a friendly so I see nothing wrong with trying out uncapped players who have shown little promise.

Akpom is still young, moreover he has done quite well in Greece so there is nothing wrong in giving him some minutes in the game. Dude is just 23 and can still fulfill the promise he once showed at youth level

andrew444:


Bro you dont get it

Before i will even want nwakaeme to be invited, i will call the youngsters first

I am trying to say akpom has done nothing to be invited and i have listed players who have done better

You guys should stop asslicking english players

Just because say jonathan government bad no mean say make you justify buhari own

So because osimhen didnt do well in wolfsburg and was invited means akpom should be invited? you no no the kind players wey we get now?

What happens to awoniyi and co?

I am sure if akpom na naija brought up na you go come talk say na mumu league e dey play

Una no even wait make season start, scoring 6 goals in 20 games in greece is not that special

drDoom3:
Please who has an idea of the full squad list for the Ukraine friendly? SE insiders

Not out, Maduka own came out because a journalist who is his friend tweeted it. Guess they've started sending invite

on Aribo


''I will send his name and the club he's playing for to Gernot Rohr,''  according to Bewarang NFF Technical Director

he should be called up asap enough of all this azuibike, mikel agu call ups...please.
those men are likely oldies claiming to be in their 20s.

Olulong:



I think they are trying to cap tie as many players as possible because according to what pinnick said

“We have secured a Grade A international friendly match for the Super Eagles against ukraine in Kyiv, on the 10th of September,” Pinnick said on Twitter.
“It is part of our on-going drive to expose as many players as we can to global football, so this should be another springboard for our young stars.”

so maybe we should expect a lot of new faces

At the same time I hope we'll get a positive result, we need to start building our ranking now so that hopefully if we qualify for 2022 WC we can get a favourable draw

The game against Ukraine is a rehearsal so I see nothing wrong testing players like maduka okoye and akpom.

One of the essence of such games is to try out untested players who will be integrated into the team if the coaches are convinced with their input, tactical awareness and adaptation.

It was in such games that the likes of uzoho and ebuehi showed that they have what it takes to be bonafide members of the current set up.

Onuachu's performance against Egypt in portharcourt earned him a place in the afcon team.

let them integrate one of either Eze,aribo into the team set up.... and also try some of the German based defenders agu and co...

andrew444:


Okay he came as a refugee and maybe forge document successfully ,already playing for the Hamburg first team

It's no different from when a player joins a club, it's not Hamburg job to investigate his age and other details

Hope you know all players cant be called?

Test akpom and leave awoniyi and okereke who have done better abi?

Ok

Una no even wait make season start, scoring 6 goals in 20 games in greece is not that special

I have watched akpom play...dude is just an average player....
the only English born player striker we need right now is Tammy.
the rest gonna offer nothing different...

I will rather want us to use that slot lobby one of the arsenal kids... Xavier Ameachi or midfielder I think folarin or so.

andrew444:


Agreed

We have players better than him in his position

Some people want him to be invited just because he is english, if na our normal naija player some people go say na back water league e dey play

He scored 6 goals in 20 league games last season, we have players that have done better than that

Poor

jihday:
Poor

I am not saying he is bad

But dont be suprised that most people here will prefer the dude to awoniyi and co all in the name of asslicking english below average player

When he was in belgium league he didnt do better than what any of our forwards have done there.

Na them go say player dey back water league but na dem go still want make them invite player from there because na english guy

I dont care if he is playing for paok

andrew444:


Hope you know all players cant be called?

Test akpom and leave awoniyi and okereke who have done better abi?

Ok

That akpom matter tire me...even when ideye was in Greece he did better.
to be honest.....scored more goals and still fumbled in the super eagles sometimes

Icon4s:


Even if he was played as a winger, he doesn't just have it.

It's not because he doesn't have it as a winger, he doesn't deserve a call but because there are better wingers than him, he can't make the team.

jihday:
Poor

Ideye even did better when he was in Greece.... I will prefer odey or awoniyi to this guy. even Henry as a striker is more prolific

forgiveness:


Na so life bi. But we just to forgive him now that he has released his mistake.

He didn't realize any mistake, he just knew he stands a better chance of intentional football with Nigeria than England

andrew444:


Bros no mind them, if na our pure naija player dem no go say make dem invite am, 6 goals in 20 league games is nothing special to me

If i see chuba akpom and i dont see awoniyi and co in eagles list i will be very angry

Hahaha

Humility017:

That akpom matter tire me...even when ideye was in Greece he did better.

Lol

I might be rude o bros, but when it comes to english most people here asslick

Even some people where not that moved by onyekuru doing well in turkey self na akpom wey no even do average

What do u mean by ass licking? . So because this kids were born abroad made u more Nigerian than them? That's the biggest problem we have, sentiment and pride!

Rohr who invited oshimeh did so not because club performances but his heroics at the u17s and when the lad came to camp the German was convinced with his abilities and work rate.

Akpom rejected us earlier in his career but have turn a new leaf desperate for a chance in the team and he has been decent enough to atleast get few minutes in a friendly so the coaches can ascertain if he has something to offer the team and I see nothing wrong with that.

He wasn't the first euro-born player to turn us down but to rescind their decisions later. Ebuehi turned us down, Alex Iwobi did before his uncle and dad intervened,Victor Moses did, Ola Aina shunned the idea when first approached, but today they re strong components of the team.

currently Ademola lookman is very interested in playing for the team after several rejections

Do you know when mikel started to woe Aina for the super eagles?

Let's forget sentiment and pride and grab as much of these kids as we can. Mixing them with the rich homegrown talents we have will produce a stronger super eagles team. I'm am even of the opinion that if Tammy and torunarigha have a change of heart playing for us they should be welcomed hoooooooha!

andrew444:


Lol

But na you bring sentiment nah and its very clear

You watch nwakaeme played just 1 game and you are already saying he is not an eagles material

If nwakaeme is not being invited i understand that they are many youngsters not because he is not an eagles material

Should i mention players who didnt do well in their eagles first few games?

Do you know coaches only need few min to know a player they want? Do you also know that Icon4s has stated several times that he's a trained coach even if he doesn't practice so I'm inclined to believe he's talking as a professional and not as an emotional fan

Going by the stat Andrew posted earlier baba na average, we have younger and better strikers but definitely not Emem and Nwakaeme. We have Awo Odey okereke

andrew444:


Yes

That means anybody fit lie for anywhere

But more difficult for the Europeans cos if you lie person go come cast you and there are verifiable records everywhere, that dude is from Gambia na not Serbia

Is akpom the only striker to be called up for the Ukraine game? He is one of the uncapped players to be tested so few untested players will added to the list. Let's wait until the list is out haba!

Na gambia i talk ooo, unless na typo error you see

Yes i agree its more difficult for Europeans, but very possible, imagine dem no catch this guy

The gambia guy don finally cast na just as you talk,

I don throw my own point

Dey there dey write NEWSPAPER

Icon4s:


Even on a poor pitch you should still see flashes of Brilliance. Was that pitch as bad as the Steven Keshi stadium pitch in Asaba?

Not all the time. That is why they are called flashes of brilliance because they are not common.

I think they state of that pitch was way worse than the Keshi stadium. Their pitch was worn out and clumps of grass kept coming off. Asaba pitch is still fresh and it is just the make of the thing that brings issues.

forgiveness:


It's not because he doesn't have it as a winger, he doesn't deserve a call but because there are better wingers than him, he can't make the team.

That is why I say he is not Super Eagles standard.
