Imagine the Bulgaria coach earlier said prematch that England has a bigger problem of racism than his country, Bulgaria. With this show of shame today, I think Both nations now know their racism scores. grin

Nnaa, wetin Awaziem do you naa...lmao
The thing about Ekong is that I have always know him to be blunder prone same with Omeruo but Awaziem is that untested player that showed up and stole our heart with his old school styled right back. For me, Awaziem and Ekong are our most improved defender and maybe Omeruo.

Omerou is error laden. The last AFCON was the best performance I have seen by him, best put I was wondering if it's the same onerou I know. That was at the group stage though, he then brought me back to my senses with his lack of concentration and error in judgement for the first goal against Cameroon.

IMO Akpom is not good enough.

He had multiple chances at EPL, Championship and was always found to be wanting.

That's why he left to Greece maybe he has improved, l don't know, is he the in the top 3 goal scorers in that league?? ❓

The Greece league just began. For the preceding season he was amongst the top two. Can't recall if he was even the top.

You have a point but I still think Iwobi's ineffectiveness today may have rendered them stoic. If we had a better AM, we would have won today

Rohr came into the game with a solid defensive mindset, didn't you see how osimehin was made to work deep for the ball. AM would not play against instruction.

Everytime England plays and Tammy either doesn't get minutes or gets a few minutes, he trends on Twitter. Naija Twitter really mean that boy

The sad thing about his situation is that, by the time Kane finally takes a bow and leaves that first choice striker role, our poor Tammy would have been overshadowed by another younger, more English player. Perhaps the true reason he chose England, is just to pose as an English player without bothering about actually having to feature in a game.

Perhaps

If Etebo came, i doubt Aribo would have started. Now i think Aribo has given the coach food for thought and might have displaced Etebo from the starting line up.
Baba, you are absolutely right about Aribo not starting the Brazil match if Etebo was around.
However, I do think Iwobi will drop to the Bench not Etebo.

So Tomori is still eligible for d eagles, ok

But dis allegiance switch is one complicated issue, munir el haddadi is still begging FIFA to allow him play for Morocco since 2014
,d guy played only 13 mins d case even dey court of arbitration for sports

Tomori shud have a retink,but if he stills prefers England, no problem,as for Tammy,I pray he doesn't break munir's record of 13 mins

Nah, Iwobi is critical to how we play. We have no other creative midfielder.

Even though, he had an average game against Brazil, he still created the best chance with Osimhen in the first.

The super eagles need creative players in midfield but ironically, our most
creative players are not playing in good clubs in Europe. We should ignore this
fact and invite players like kelechi nwakali, rabiu ibrahim and lukman haruna.
If they can offer creativity in midfield, then we are good to go.
If an Ahmed Musa who plays in Saudi Arabia or Ighalo who plays
in china can be part of our team, then rabiu ibrahim who plays in slovakia and
kelechi nwakali who does not even feature for his club in the second division
of the spanish league should be considered.
You cannot allways use club form to judge a player. It is simply too simplistic
The problem is we do not have a natural attacking midfielder playing in a good club
If kevin de bruyne or christian eriksen were Nigerian then we have no problem
We can even try chukwuka onuwa or plays for enyimba
WE NEED CREATIVE MIDFIELDERS AND PLEASE LET US GET THEM FROM
ANYWERE AS LONG AS THEY CAN PLAY WELL FOR US LET US FORGET ABOUT
THIER CLUB FORM. IN FACT, BEN IROHA DID NOT HAVE A GOOD CLUB CAREER BUT
PLAYED WELL FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM. CLUB CAREER AND NATIONAL TEAM CAREER ARE
NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTLY RELATED.

I have said this several times on this thread. Uzoho have never been beaten from a freekick. Never!




I remember when, going into the 2014 WC match against Argentina, we used to brag that Enyeama had never conceded a goal from Messi. We were all convinced that Enyeama had the secret antidote to Messi. Imagine our utter bamboozlement and mortification then, when the dimumitive wizard fired in a rocket into our net barely five minutes into the game. Our chorus changed to "na by mistake!", "Enyeama still dey warm up". " Messi don find trouble!, Enyeama go show am pepper today!".

We need not be reminded of the superb freekick Messi curled past Enyeama shortly after....




My point is, hype with sense.

What you critically failed to include in your reasoning is the fact that both Musa and Ighalo had proven themselves at the highest level BEFORE heading to Saudi and China respectively.

As at today neither Nwakali nor Rabiu is even close to being good enough to warrant a call up to the super eagles on merit.
