Liverpool ain't winning..... I'm very very very sure

junnyjake:
Before the expiration of the ban?

Non verbatim

junnyjake:
I thought Salisu was banned for one year.

Rohr has been expressing his desire to work with him as soon as possible

kellycute:
Today is my birthday. I wanna show my face to y’all lol.

Happy b'day cutekelly.... More blessings

komekn:
My goodness.

Something like that ❓ ❓ ❓

I am bewildered you make an allegation and you then do a U turn and say something like that.

It is either I did or I did not. You made the allegation not me. Haba your a lawyer, you should know that.

OK... You win

andrew444:
Yes only for that depressed fellow and no one else

I am just a clown � but some people mistake me for something else

I only insult when I am being insulted

No p bro. We all are on one cause,,,, that's what really matters. Cheers

Curtisaxel7:
All the hype wey we hype Iheanacho, wetin im do?

Hype or no hype, player wey go good go good, player wey go flop go flop.

When he's doing good, we hype am..... When he's doing bad, we criticize am, dats life

It is not Nacho or Nigerian thing, it's universal

safarigirl:
this one is good, but the one I wanted to find was his posts on the day of that FA Cup game.

Like you, I do not know how to search old posts.

You have to register under Mr forgivenezz. Sometimes I wonder if he built special nairaland plug in

Earthquake2:
Robben with two peaches of goals

For those comparing Chukwueze with Robben stop it

Chuks can even go above Robben

andrew444:
Am not the one bro .

As I see am I just dey laugh for where I dey I no bother to reply the guy because animals no deserve response from me

I am replying you for a good question asked

Cheers bro

OK sir

You need to cool down shaa,,, E be like you get hot temper

komekn:
Now you should know that substance of truth is in the detail.

If you can not show verbatim what you have alleged ❓

Not what you have perceived using conjecture, your a lawyer now. So don't plead lack of knowledge.


Then not only do you lack integrity but are something else.

Maybe not verbatim but you said something like that. Infact, I too thought that 'Diabetes guy' will piss EPL with goals

Oga Andrew444, Are you really Mbjane? Am curious because you no talk anything on the matter. You two just Dae mute for the matter

Having more than one moniker is not bad sha

kellycute:
Andrew is the bonafide owner of this moniker lol. This moniker only show up when Andrew wanna act both the bad cop and the good cop at the same time lol.
If you know, you know.

Na wa ooo

Wetin person no go hear for this thread

Not from Oga naptu2? It can't be real then!

wayodude:
You know everyone has the right to an opinion so don't accuse 'Southgate' for expressing his. Although I can he can be a wind up merchant lol

In my opinion Osimhen has never done enough for a call-up. But that's a different matter. Any link to an article on Iorfa rejecting Nigeria? That would help settle the issue.

Is like you are not getting it.

When NFF was in search of CB, they approached him but his father (who is more like his agent) insist that he won't play for us, at least not yet citing that he's English youth player, that he would consider Nigeria after his 23rd birthday.

EEGA:
We should also consider the fact that Mbappe is surrounded by world class players(Neymar,Cavani,Di Maria,Verrati,Thiago Silva e.t.c).The French league might be low in quality but the PSG team is made of World class players.

Another comparison

komekn:
The one thing that is constant about the NFF is that there is no CONSISTENCY in selection, no clear parameters of measurement.

It's all down to subjective judgment.

In the context of Nigeria when things become subjective with no clear cut defined parameters then if it can be abused, It will certainly be abused.

A player pitting in top quality performances can not come to national team for a week or two training and become RUBBISH.

Then a player who has done litter ot nothing becomes better, possible but highly unlikely. Then bring into the situation our penchant for favoritism, unwholesome practices and the scene is set for people like Salisu to thrive. Do people think Salisu is alone in this kind of behaviour.

Players will never tell you what happened in camp in the public arena. Maybe when they retire but not before.

What are you saying sef?

What do you mean by juventus?


Op is on weed

Its twin brother is somewhere in Awka

EEGA:
Am a fan of Onyekuru bro.

I never said he is not good.

He needs to improve.

Even Club Brugge's Danjuma scored as a LWB in one of their champions league game.

Why do you even think Kalu started ahead of him against Seychelles and Chukwueze even started ahead of him against Uganda?

Because Rohr didn't rate him. Abeg!!!! As it is now,, Onyekuru no be Chukwueze's mate

isan:
Ghana just got knocked out of awcon 2018 in their own backyard

You seems impressed

Rohr Talks Up Super Eagles’ Positives Ahead AFCON 2019; Disallowed Goals Vs Bafana; Return of Mikel, Simon, Salisu



By Johnny Edward:

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, haa been been fielding questions from the oress to address some knotty issues about his team following their qualification for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon with a game in hand in the qualifiers, Completesportssportsigeria.com can now serve you the details.
Rohr insists there is no chance of the Three-time African champions dialing down their own intensity when they host Seychelles in their final Group E clash next year.

The Super Eagles are already through to the group stages of the 2019 AFCON in Cameroon with a game to spare, but a win in their final group game against Seychelles will see the Super Eagles automatically clinch the top spot.
Nigeria lead Group E with 10 points from five games and are followed closely by South Africa on nine points, while Libya are third with seven points. Seychelles are at the bottom of the group with just one point.
“We don’t just want to qualify for the AFCON, we want to finish top of our league (table). We need to win against Seychelles to achieve that, ” Rohr said during a breakfast media parley with Nigerian sports editors on Friday.
“We still have a lot of work to do. We’ve really improved from the point I took over the Super Eagles. The joy to play good football, defend and score goals has now improved. We make fewer mistakes now as a team.”

Rohr shrugs off talks about captain John Obi Mikel retiring from the Super Eagles after the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The 30-year-old has missed the Super Eagles last five games against Seychelles, Libya (home and away), South Africa and Uganda fueling talks about his retirement from the national team after 13 years.
“That (Samuel) Chukwueze wore the number 10 jersey against Uganda doesn’t translate to being a replacement for Mikel. It’s just a jersey number he used,” Rohr explained.
“Mikel remains in our plans and we all know why he has been out of the team. Mikel Obi will decide if he wants to play at AFCON 2019. He was omitted because of fitness issues, but we will look at his performance before the tournament.
“After the FIFA World Cup in Russia Obi Mikel wanted to take a break. He told me he needed rest and motivation. When he is ready, he will be back. Mikel is a fantastic captain.”

Rohr also explains why Samuel Kalu was his first ahead of Moses Simon in Super Eagles’ recent matches.
“I know Kalu Samuel very well. We had a similar player in Simon Moses, but who wasn’t in such a good physical condition. Kalu is good going forward & also a good defender, so we needed to play him in that role.”

On Victor Moses’ retirement from the Super Eagles, Rohr explains that he tried to convince the 27-year old to do a rethink ofbhis decision, but the Chelsea winger wanted to focus on his club career.
“I hope he will get an opportunity to play in Chelsea or with another club,” Rohr said of Moses’ situation at the Stamford Bridge.

The Eagles boss reveals he will be willing to work again with Salisu Yusuf after his suspension over a bribery case, but adds that the decision depends on the top hierarchy at the Nigeria Football Federation.
“If the NFF recalls Coach Salisu Yusuf to the Super Eagles, I will work with him. I have a good personal relationship with him. He made an honest mistake and I think he has paid for his mistakes. There is no reason why he should not be given another chance, but that decision depends on our bosses at the NFF,” he remarked.

Rohr expresses his wish to have the home-based players featuring prominently in the Super Eagles, but notes that they need good infrastructure to play on in order to develop better and stand good chances of playing regularly for the national team.
“We have already called up a lot of local players, but many of them end up going to Europe. Sometimes I feel like agents just want to bring them to the national team to make it easier to sell them,” he stated.
“I love local players. I want players in the Nigeria Professional Football League to play in the Super Eagles, but these local players need good infrastructure to play.
“We’ve invited 20 local players to Super Eagles since I became a coach. Buts it’s difficult to invite them because they don’t play often and Nigerian clubs don’t have the infrastructure.”

The Franco-German tactician also weighs in on the Nigeria’s disallowed goals against South Africa in last Saturday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier stating that it was difficult for the referee to make the right calls due to the pace of Ahmed Musa.
Bakary Gassama ruled out two goals scored by Nigeria against South Africa for offside.
“Referees are humans and it is very important to understand that the job is difficult. The referees don’t like to be attacked because if you do the next time they refer your game, it may be difficult for you, let’s not criticize them too much.
“I’m a referee at each training session of my team and so I know it’s quite a difficult job to do.
“I saw the offside goals after the game. I didn’t criticize the linesmen. When you have quick players like Ahmed Musa, it’s really difficult to keep up and that is why we need to introduce technology in Africa.
“It is very difficult for referees. Gassama did well. It was not his fault.”

He also explains the inclusion of the inactive Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Hapoel Beer Sheva midfielder, John Ogu in his squad for recent games.
“It’s always good to have a player like Ezenwa in the team whether he’s playing or not because he has the right spirit. Always positive, praying. Same with Ogu,” Rohr stated.

Rohr is very mad

Curtisaxel7:
Lol. The guy appears to be a habitual journeyman. And what is that I see......he hasn't scored a single goal since this year?.

Seriously? Is this the guy we want in our SE?. I laugh in Chinese.

The stats only shows league match and correct as of 20th October. I think he score few weeks back shaa.

komekn:
What you are implying if not saying is that Chukwueze is better than Seyi Ojo ❓ am l right, don't wish to presume.

And if so, how have you come to that conclusion ❓

Unless opportunity is given we can not clearly determine a players impact on the SE. For good or better or is thier a fear that a better player may displace some of our home grown favoured players.

My view give the most deserving OPPORTUNITY and let the best player be selected. Unless you don't wish to have competitive selection just favoritism.

What do you mean by opportunity? I think you are over-emphasizing on it

andrew444:
I know it's hard for black coaches no doubt ,there was a black coach who did well in west brom,you remember right,I think he is still their coach now .

There are few good black coaches compared to others ,seedorf got his chance at Milan and blew it up,with seedorf ac Milan was turn from average team to below average team .

I am watching Henry right now and I am hoping he takes his chances unless good job like coaching Monaco will be hard to come by anytime soon, then maybe shortly you will hear that Thierry Henry is the head coach of Madagascar national team .

.

komekn:
The NFF should be seeking the very best that we can get. Mediocrity and favoritism should not be enthroned over merit and quality.

Compare any of our wingers statistics to the those of Seyi Ojo. And then make an unbiased objective judgement.

What we have is OPPORTUNITY given without merit and Opportunity denied without reason. If indeed the quest is to find the best.

Seyi Ojo

gamaliel9:
eeem eeem clears throat again....he is a winger...he is not better than the ones in the team....and Chukwueze has joined too....i do not think we will need him...unless Rohr thinks of French connection to sneak him into the team...otherwise....He is not better than than the two Kalus,Simon,Onyekuru,Musa....in short our wings are LOADED...NFF SHOULD BE GOING FOR MIDFIELDERS AND DEFENDERS FOR NOW

He is welcomed. He should fight it out with his competitors if he really wanna rep us

groundnutoil:
yea like Collins who is so good that he plays in German 2nd division
most of your players play abroad just because they were born there that's why we are always dragging nationality with the countries the play in
you think some of the npfl players won't do better if the had a more better condition to show their skills
besides most or your super eagles are bench warmers in their league
and your best player in the super eagles now (musa) started in the Npfl and proved himself before he went abroad
the guy who gave u your last afcon title Sunday mbah was playing in the league
ur best player in ur last under 23 African nation cup (etebo) was with warri wolves dn
abeg talk another thing
granted the league quality no dey dat high doesn't mean there aren't good players in the league too
trying playing in bad pitches without salaries for months and still put up some good displays and tell me you won't do more if given a more comfortable display consistently

He is not in the team because of playing in Npfl rather it's because of quality. We have better options

gamaliel9:
What does he bring to the Eagles?

Peace of mind to fans. At least Oga komekn and forgiveness go gree us rest

komekn:
We may do.

But if it was the team that played Uganda then I very much doubt it. Cameroon are having a resurgence and behind it is Seedorf

Seedorf has been average or should should I say below average. We played against Uganda with fringe players

komekn:
I in all honesty can not with integrity create a list.

But I would over twelve months invite a least 30 players who have been outstanding in club and league and give them opportunity.

That opportunity will translate to both training and games and if we have to arrange more friendlies so be it. But it will be a measured balanced level playing field where justification is by performance not assumption of quality but proven quality.

From that selection we can arrive at point where players will be selected on merit. Some existing players will be there some will be dropped. But it will be on merit.

What merit? What/where is the yardstick/tape of measurement?

groundnutoil:
that enyimba left who is also the under 23 abi 20 captain and also lobi stars left back ebube or so
shame that according to rohr once u play in the npfl u are not good enough

No shame whatsoever, they are not just good enough
