Sia1 pls let Obagoal make this team.

TheGoodJoe:


Chidera Ezeh is talented but he is not yet in the regular squad list of FC Porto. It will be difficult to drop a regular pro like Simon Moses for Ezeh.

Let the young man battle it out with the U20 team.

daveP:
who are you??


Or it simply has skipped your memory? I see

Just my sentiments though ... almost oblivious of his U20 eligibility....

@TheGoodJoe... whats up with Nacho man... hope he doesnt go 'senile' with this lack of first team football.... Am utterly amazed at pelle's decisions though.

linked:
It is almost certain that Isaac Success will not make the Olympics..... Siasia WHY?

Simon Moses style of play doesn't fascinate me, I'll rather not take him.... am objective

How about my boy Chidera Eze isnt he good enough for the olympics?.. He is making steady progress at Porto... It been clear right from the U15 tourney he is meant for elite football... Would not mind having him instead of Moses.... now thats sentiments

Chidera Ezeh ahead of Simon Moses? No naaa..
Talking about the way Simon Moses players, his style of play is more suitable to youth competitions. I know a couple of old Nigerian wingers that played the way Simon plays at youth level but when they got to the senior level they became average and later dropped.
Watch the way Iwobi plays from the wings, its very different from how Simon plays it. Iwobi is a more efficient modern winger than Simon.
Simon's style is more tilted towards Victor Moses' style of play.

Besides, Siasia prefers using natural wingers instead of converting Strikers to wingers. This is a major reason I feel a player like Stanley Dimgba stands a better chance than Isaac Success or Imoh Ezekiel.

Petrobros:


So who are/were those wingers?

Pius Ikedia, John Owoeri, Solomon Okoronkwo, Mohammed Manga. Tijani Babagida started like that but because he had a winger like Finidi George to learn from in the Team he improved on that. Ahmed Musa has little of it just that he is not much skillfull so rather than face the opposing defender he attempts a premature cross-in.

How do they play? They take on opponents one-on-one trying to out run and dribble them at the same time. They are usually skillful and full of pace but when they draggle/struggle their into danger areas they would have run out of steam and usually the CF would be running from behind to meet up with the anticipated cross.

They play with their heads down. Something we used to call Okada those players. I was natural Right Wing Forward. Them no dey catch my back those days o. Na " on the run we dey call am".

Football has improved from that.

Sir TheGoodJoe, u see what I told you about Onazi?

A new coach and he is back in the starting line-up even scoring.

U dnt relegate a player just bc he has nt seen much football action for a couple of weeks or few months due mostly to new coaching staff.
We know Onazi's capability. He is still our best DMF.

To add to what Icon4s said, there is more to winging than Sprinting down the touchline and whipping in a cross. Holding the ball on the wings and showing how good you are on the ball. Simon Moses and Victor Moses are guilty of these.

When you watch the likes of Finidi George, Emmanuel Amunike, these men brought more to the team than crosses and goals. They had the midfield touch and combined with their wing backs effortlessly.

Tijani Babangida later adapted and became a fantastic player. I guess it was the influence of Finidi, a man he studied for a long time (did not think of this until Icon4s pointed it out).

I earlier pointed out that Simon Moses should reinvent himself. Few coaches want players on the wing who can not contribute more to the team than the natural wing play.

Look at the likes of Neymar and Messi who play wide for Barca. Look at Silva, Nasri and De Bruyne who get to play wide for City. Look at Bale and CR7 at Real Madrid.

There was an improvement in Victor Moses play I'm our second game against Egypt. I was impressed with his touches and the way he dropped the ball for Amuzie to cross. That was unlike the Moses I know and I hope he keeps improving.

Na so i take see am.

Is Jordan Ibe not still eligible to play for Nigeria?

TheGoodJoe:


“Jordon Ibe’s family informed me by a telephone call that he was giving priority to an England call-up. We wish them well,” Oliseh said on Twitter.

He has pledged his allegiance to England. Whether he is eligible or not does not matter. He rejected a Super Eagles call up because his heart is with England. So there is no need for his report here.

We wish him well.

Yes, you are right but.... the lad still has the choice to choose Nigeria.

Ibe rejected the green white green jersey. He had his chance to choose and he chose to reject it.

He is an English player.

I am more interested in Solanke scoring today in the PSV Vs Vitesse game than whatever Ibe does for Liverpool.
