Once Dele is on form he'll walk straight back into the team.

Are u sure.

Fighting his way back into the team should be the appropriate word. Because with the Emergence of Mount, Madison and return of Oxlade Chamberlain, I don't think he would be able to Walk straight back into the team like that. The funniest part is those two guys (Mount and Madison) are an upgrade on Ali, because they have the work rate that Ali lacks and are better creative midfielders, especially that Madison.

So Ali can't walk straight back into any where, because he's not competing with Lingard , he will have to fight his way back into the team.

iSlayer:
Dele can still make the team.

It will be hard o. The emergence of Mason Mount and James Madison, coupled with the return of the Ox into his full and beastly form has complicated things for him. Even Lingard of Man Utd sef knows that his time is up.

Dele will have to work twice as hard to come back. To make matters worse, the abysmal form of his club currently is not helping matters

DrKlever:
I'm watching a replay of Kosovo vs England on SS7. This Kosovo team is so poor that i think Nigeria can beat them 6-0 sef.. So much for the hyped European teams!

The funniest thing about this European underdog teams is that they don't respect themselves, so they come all out against you, thereby leaving spaces everywhere for you to exploit and the spanking becomes easy. That is why you see scorelines like 6-0, 7-0, 5-0.

At least our own African underdogs knows that they are the underdogs, so they pack the bus against you like say tomorrow no dey

Eartquake1:
The thing is you cannot use the friendly game against Brazil to rate Aina above Collins as Aina has made some mistakes against Cameroon (despite his improvement)

Collins would probably have bagged one or two assists against Lesotho

You guys be talking about Cameroon. Aina only made one mistake. Not some Mistakes

His only mistake was the one that one that led to Cameroon second goal. So make una stop twisting it.

Collins in the other hand . Oh my

Eartquake1:
Aina was also sleeping for Algeria's equalizer against us in the Afcon qualifiers and he conceded a stupid penalty in the last friendly before the World cup and don't think Jesus doesn't have the quality to overturn Aina

Collins and Aina are not far apart but Aina trumps him offensively

Oga shift biko.

We are talking about post world cup, you are bringing World cup qualifiers. It's an open secret that Aina of that period was not good then. It was one of the reasons why Brian Idowu was brought in before the world cup and took his position in the world cup squad after that one impressed in the Argentina friendly. Nigga has now improved tremendously since going to seria A.

Clementoke:
What of the friendly that we lost 0-1 to Sengal just before the AFCON?

I don't think it counts, because it's an unofficial game.

somehow:
Yes he was overturned, check the Cameroon game

So are you saying Rohr was sentimental or stupid enough to bench a good player for a not so good one?

The same him that went to shop for Colins while Aina was already in camp and playing that position?

Wait till we play worthy opponents, then we will know if he's now betteroff as the LB compared to Colins that the coach prefer

I'm sure that was the only instance you could mention (Cameroon match), which can happen once in a while. Even the best defenders gets turned once in a while

Collins on the other hand gets turned on the regular by even the most average of wingers. Against Brazil , I just dey shame on behalf of the guy. At a point, the Brazilian team noticed that he's the weak point and Firmino and Gabriel Jesus started making use of his wings. Even a makeshift Awaziem doesn't get turned on a regular like Collins. Nigga is pathetic.

Typically, the English are not known for producing flair players but this is an obvious exception.

Rashford's got skill, I won't lie. He's different from the regular traditional kick and run wingers that England usually produce. His inconsistencies is what is letting him down. play like Ronaldo today,switch off tomorropw

BascoVanVeli:
U and I both know that they are only keeping his spot warm. Rohr will never bench an healthy Etebo that;s just facts,

The way y'all think that Collins will start in the afternoon, because according to you guys he's a sure banker to start as long as Rohr is coach.
Even Etebo won't say this. I'm sure he Knows that he now has work to do.

This is not the era of local coaches where senior team players just stroll into start line ups , even though there are better performing and deserving players. This time around, you are as good as your current form, and no more guaranteed spots. Rohr has shown us this time and time again

andrewbaba44:

Aribo and azeez should make way for etebo , as per say etebo na sergio busquets or iniesta ?

They have done better than him so far this season, he should fight back for his spot, nothing automatic here bros

Can you imagine the guy.

As if Etebo Na Xavi or Iniesta

TheSuperNerd:
For those who keeps asking what kinda Midfielder is Azeez... I hope you all saw the quick and easy way he picked out that pass into the path of Victor Osimhen....

Drove forward into space, really made use of that space and released the ball as quickly as possible without my flamboyance and viola! Goal!

That is part of what Ramon offers. Keeping it simple and feeding his advanced team mates quickly. He also offers mad workrate as you all know and must have noticed from his games in LA LIGA.

Someone like Etebo would have continued running with the ball until the space closes where he won't be able to give any pass, thereby giving a side wways pass and the chance will be wasted in the process.

The day the Nigga stops hugging the ball unnecessarily is the day he will develop into a better CMF

zayyadidris:
But should Etebo comes back, I guess both Aribo and Ramon will make way for him..!! Because am not seeing Rohr starting either of them ahead of Iwobi.

Well Rohr might be a lot of things, but he's not a sentimental coach. Those two have done enough to earn that spot. it's left for Etebo to fight for the position and show the coach that he's still the undisputed No. 1 in that role.

If Rohr uses seniority in the team or sentiment in match day team selection, he woulf have started Musa today, and Mikel would have played every match during AFCON

somehow:
So if you have players like Udeze, Taiwo or Babayaro, you will play Aina at LB ahead of them?

Secondly, those names you listed above are playing these roles because the natural LBs are either inexperience or not good enough.

First paragraph, that comparison doesn't make sense because those guys you mentioned are obviously better and if we have people like them in our team, we won't be playing Aina on the left because they are obviously better than Aina.

At the bolded,
It's Same thing happening in the super eagles team.

So shift lemme see front

somehow:
We are saying this because we are yet to get an above-average LB (Not like Colins is bad). I am the kind that likes square pegs in square holes.

Crossing is part of our siggy, just that we haven't had much of them good crossers for a while now but they are getting better.

Spoiler alert.

Most right footed player that plays left back are mostly good with both feets. Ashley Young of Man Utd is an example. He played left back for England in the last world cup and he did well. There is a young left back from Man Utd academy that was promoted recently, Brandon Williams, he's right footed too and can make good crosses with both his feet.
It's even an advantage sef, cos most defenders won't know if you want to cross or cut in, because u are two footed.

Lastly Aina has played generally more on the left than on the right for the past two years now, so I'm sure he would have adapted.

Toylove:
That England sef ehn...they couldn't even pity tomori and start him against Kosovo

Na Euro 2020 go give the guy sense, because he won't make that squad.

isaiah9:
Chaii Mozambique just defeated Senegal 56-49

Chai. The way at which this Senegal women's team have been dropping this past year, I'm afraid they will soon discover crude oil

PDPGuy:
Three of Mozambique’s 8 points were scored from free-throws

Is there a online livestream available?

tbaba1234:
Many Nigerian Journalists want to see Rohr fired. Some of these journalists are paid by agents to promote this. They want to return us back to the era where they can settle the coach to invite a player.

This year has shown us what happens when we abandon merit.

Our local coaches have shown that they are incapable of avoiding the lure of $$$ for the chance at glory.

Now, Pinnick is trying to introduce a local league quota into Rohr's new contract compelling him to pick players in the local league. What exactly does this achieve? Why do we love to promote mediocrity?

Where are all the local players promoted by Keshi?? Unfortunately, this idea of getting local players into the super eagles is for selfish interests. They just want to sell players, simple.. It does nothing for the league. The real steps needed to improve the league are not been taken.

I hope they will not destroy the super eagles too.

For the sake of the super eagles, I sincerely hope that Rohr turn down that yeye contract, so that the NFF will be forced to give the man what he wants and remove some useless clauses that will only benefit the pocket of NFF stakeholders instead of the good of the team, by the time Nigerians lights their ass on fire

darkelf:
This year has really been a disappointing year for Naija football.

Except for AFCON bronze medal, the other teams just.......chai

And they want us to sack the coach of the Only functional team we have, so that they can employ the serial local failures to infect the team with their failures.

Odunayaw:
now you can make excuses for France.

Bro. Are you surprised? People like him plenty for this thread. If it happens that the same Algeria he's praising loose or draw against a lowly rated side , they will give excuses, but these same people will come back and lambast our national team for playing a draw and not beating Brazil. Awon werey

darkelf:
Well, I'm always 50/50 onnRohr.

However, he is conservative against smaller teams. Against teams he should beat well well.

The just concluded AFCON comes to mind

Was he conservative against Benin?

iSlayer:
Unfortunately, human beings usually shun good advice. Until they're stung.

People don't usually value what they have until they loose it.

I hope we don't loose Rohr because I'm already now getting used to watching super eagles without having high blood pressure, because I know the won't disappoint, unlike before where ordinary Afcon qualification sef, na war

Elnino4ladies:
Dude is three goals away from equalling Mitchel Platini record.. four goals from becoming French second all time highest goal scorer... put some respect on his name please.

He had those records when he was still good and no one is disputing that. However, He's been shit for over a year now and he keeps getting invited over better and inform players. That is what people are saying. If you can't see that, then I can't help you.

One thing is sure, Deschamps clearly has some form of sentiments towards the guy, and his continued call ups is not merit based.

Elnino4ladies:
Giroud a bench-warmer at Chelsea & a starter for France scored tonight & one Martial wasn't even called up Inside life

The French coach na idiot na. There are better and inform strikers but he no call them. Lacasette, Martial, and Benzema. His team has been struggling to score goals against average teams. He's only getting away with it because he just won them a world cup. By the time he carries the nonsense enter Euros next year and he bleeps up, that is when their media will speak up

darkelf:
As in ehn

If we meet again, they will still knack us.

Painful truth. We aren't playing to our full potential. Imagine beating Benin just 2:1 at home.

Giant of Africa my foot.

My God, I'm angry tonight.

Football isn't 2+2

You think its easy to comeback against a professional bus parking team that got to Afcon quarter finals by bus parking via playing draws in all their matches?

More so , Zambia that they beat is more or less a Glorified Eswatini with that their understrength team. All their best players are presently in Egypt trying to qualify for Olympics.

Like I said before, Football is not 2+2.

Any west African team is not always an easy meat to play with

You dey mind am He thinks he's talking to kids.

charlesemeka85:
23 yr old chap but he is older than azubuike okechukwu

Chai I love this nwakali's celebration

That is why those guys worn out quickly as they go on in their career. Too much age subtraction and division. They forgot that they can't cheat nature ;F

mostob:
Can't just stop laughing.... is this how we want to host U20 WW ? make dem no try am o. FIFA will just ban naija for life ni.

Oga calm down. If we are to host any world cup,no be NTA go help us broadcast the matches. FiFA has their own media unit that does that.

Our own is to provide stadium facilities for them.

khunz:
I hope there is flood light in the stadium, the place is turning black .

The flood light is perfect. The stadium is well lit and as bright as day.

The camera is just bad

somehow:
A diplomatic answer Rohr is known for.
he's a good man manager.

Of course.

somehow:
Yes Ajayi starts Said omeruo needs rest

Rest, abi Ajayi has impressed Rohr.
