I can't tell u the 3 best midfielders in the league because I have not watched them all. I liked
Cletus Emotan of Rivers United today sha.
Coaching is another thing because I have seen some for years.

1. Abdu Maikaba - plays the most attractive football in the league. Wants his players to take easy short passes instead of the long ball. TBH his teams are not the most solid defensively but how can you score on him when u rarely have the ball?

2. Gbenga Ogunbote - Plays a possession brand of football but he is definitely more direct than Maikaba and better defensively too. A great tactical mind also, he was responsible for probably the greatest comeback in league history with the asaba miracle.

3. Salisu Yusuf - I have to say it. Salisu Yusuf has absolutely been smashing his second chance. His team play good football both home and away.
I can't agree less on your choice of coaches Oracle and maikaba are great coaches they did well @ both rangers & akwa.....for those I've been opportune to watch I think my best midfielders are

In my opinion the North African league is at the level of the Austrian or Switzerland league. It is actually better than latvia finish or even the nordic leagues like norwegian league
After the top 15 to 20 leagues in europe the North African leagues is next

Anthony Nwakaeme scored for Trabnozpor in their away match against Yeni Matalyspor.

We always tend to Hail Onyekuru. But this guy "Anthony Nwakaeme" has been very consistent in the Turkish league since time immemorial.

As Salah is to Liverpool, so his Nwakaeme to Trabnozpor. If Onyekuru can be recalled to the Super Eagles, I don't know why this guy should not .

You remember that club World Cup played at Morocco where Raja Casablanca beat an Atlético miniero team with football lord Ronaldinho ,but they lost to Bayern in the finals

After Laliga epl seria A bundesliga I will even put the Brazilian league as 5th grin before the French league and co

I rate the North African league but I will put the Liga MX on the same level with them and yes they are better then those Austrian and Switzerland cheesy

Lol... I'm happy both are doing well but the reality is that Rohr won't call both of them. He doesn't really rate the Turkish league.

The only invite from Turkey would be Etebo.

He doesn't rate Turkish league yet he rates championship and etebo plays at what club? Turkey league. Let it makes sense. Anyway, people are already hyping onyekuru for scoring 3 goals when someone else has been scoring for the past 2 seasons

So what is your point bro. Football is not as straightforward as you think. You need to look into the team and see what is missing. Now, Nwakaeme is a striker, the question is, is he better than those we have now? So you are saying if Henry is recalled, they should call Tony, do both play in the same position. You need to stop victimising yourself ontop every post.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m):
People are happy for Henry now only because of the hard time he had at Monaco. That's the reason for the attention he gets now.
Nwakaeme has been scoring and assisting in the Super Lig but has Rohr bothered to look his way? No.
Is it because the lad is not good? I don't think so. It just has to do with the fact Rohr will rather pick other wingers ahead of him plus he doesn't really fancy Turkey.

Onyekuru has been struggling to see game time of late at Monaco. Did Rohr ever consider him too? No.

He took him to the Afcon in 2019 but how many games did he even play? Haven't anyone realised that it looks like no matter what Henry does, that Rohr doesn't rate him as much.

Will Rohr consider him now that he is banging it for Gala in Turkey? Lol... Let the list come out and you will be surprised.

Truth is one of Henry or Nwakaeme will only make it if the wing options are limited due to injury and other unavailability reasons.

And I just told you Etebo is the only one Rohr will call from Turkey when our options are all available in all positions, so why asking where he plays? Lol... The statement already answered you.

But again, consider that Etebo had already established himself in Rohr's set-up even before his latest Gala move so that explains why he would likely get invited despite starring for Gala in same Turkey that Rohr doesn't really rate.

As for the Championship, the reason why Ejaria is being considered now is because he comes into a department where we clearly need more options. The Midfield.


I am only pointing out the reality in Rohr's selections because I have long known from a source that the man just doesn't seem to rate the Turkish League. So it's not like I'm even defending it. It's just me showing you the reality of Rohr's ways.

Personally, I also don't rate Turkey in general well enough but I do rate the Top 4 sides in Turkey well. Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Trabzonspor. Maybe by extension to a fifth, Basaksehir.

But Rohr doesn't seem to give a damn about any at all. Lol

And truthfully when you look at the wing options we have in better quality leagues than Turkey, you would probably cut Rohr some slack. Kalu, Chukwueze, Simon, Dennis, Lookman (Incoming), Ejuke are a handful to select from already. There is also upcoming Mukairu in Belgium. And don't forget Captain Musa... who has long proven himself in the team despite being in Saudi Arabia as recently as 2020.

So it's just the reality.

I agree that the last season ended without any kind of conclusion (something that NNL clubs should have sued about) but the fact of the matter is that it is taking Vandrezza longer to get in the NPFL than MFM did.

U can't say they are the best when they have proven absolutely nothing on the pitch, only nice pictures.
But can't this club just buy another club's slot from the NPFL?

Or is it no longer allowed?

U truly knw aw rohr thinks and work but in reality ,dis nwakaema guy has been churning out better stats dan d wingers u mentioned in ur submission... If u look at most of dis guys stat most especially kalu..its more like a gk stat,not encouraging @ all..I doubt if d guy has notched up to 10goals in d last three season yet he gets d nod ahead of nwakaema..although once in a wyle he pulls d magic

What I am saying in a nutshell is,looking @ oda wingers stat with nwakaeme own,I can't really rap my head around his constant neglect over odas...deir stat in deir respective clubs shldnt warrant rohr snubbing him since deir stat are not convincing at all.a player performing well in turkey shld b able to showcase himself in eagles set up considering d types of wingers we parade.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 1:50pm On Feb 09, 2021
It is what it is.

Kalu keeps getting the nod because in the GWG from his first game, he delivered a very fine performance. He came in and gelled very nicely with the team and have since showed himself awesome in NT colors. Nwakaeme didn't have such impact when given his little chance.

Club form may get you NT invites but it is NT performances that keep you in the NT picture for the most part.

And stats alone should never be the only basis for judging players' quality. Take a look at Giroud vs Lacazette prior to the 2018 WC.

In 2017/18 just before the WC, Giroud had 7 PL goals. Laca had 14 PL goals.

In the season before (2016/17), Giroud had about 12 PL goals while Lacazette bombed Ligue 1 with 28 goals.

In the end, who was France's Number 1 striker going into the WC in 2018? Who was picked and who was dropped?

So stats alone show a good part of a story but definitely not the entire story. Which is why it's also good to watch players and see how they play and how they fit into a system.

So in conclusion, Nwakaeme may have those numbers and his goal yesterday was actually outstanding but the truth is he isn't even better than some of the wingers Rohr pick over him. That's me being as honest as I also admit he is a good player. But better than who exactly in our starting Lineup?

Worse of all, we're even parading Clubless player i.e Musa. Kalu last season stats sef was atrocious. Honestly, selective call ups is equally affecting our coaches

how can you just dismiss a player after 30 minutes of okay performance, yet Certain players keep performing horrible multiple times. Also, you want to dismiss his turkey league, yet you're calling players at Saudi arabia (now clubless) belgium, Championship and now it looks like the media want to start promoting onyekuru despite the fact that someone else has been performing superbly at the same league. On current form, I will take neakaeme at LW over Ahmed musa and even Moses Simon

Trust me, if onyekuru had scored the type of goal that neakaeme scored yesterday, this thread will be Buzzing by now based on Hype. Honestly, nothing offends me more than Hypocrites. Someone should repost his last goal and compare it to the 3 goals onyekuru has scored thus far that got this place hype.

PSA, I am actually an onyekuru Fan but I'm strictly against partial selection or partial Hyping.
