12 goals in the worst team in Seria A (big 3) all I will say is that SE striker position belongs to no one and strikers in form should be given a chance. It doesn't make sense when the people omitted has more goals than all the people invited combined. Makes no sense

Toylove:
Konsa is ahead of adarabioyo if Southgate is to consider 1 of the 2

Ajax are interested in Okoye

Beautiful goals by Simmy Nwankwo. He is growing tremendously in confidence and deserves a call by Rohr. He is a little slow but we can play to his style.

TheSuperNerd:
Omo... Rohr cannot call everybody. I agree his form needs to be rewarded and I have said this before but there is absolutely no way I would fault Rohr for not looking his way. Besides it was just this March Simy resumed his goals rush like he always does when Nigeria has a major tournament or Competitive line of fixtures coming up.

He did it prior to the WC in Russia and gatecrashed the squad. He did it again prior to the Afcon in 2019 while in Serie B... But Rohr didn't fall for it. Lol


Thing is for the latest squad, Rohr had to name three Strikers and he did. And all three strikers (Osimhen, Iheanacho and SADIQ) deserve it as well. Plus their style fits the fast pace of the team's attacking style. Onuachu no even make main list na Simy wan come enter? Lol

Just be glad with the depth we have. And I am sure if Simy was called now and starts against Benin and fumbles, na still Rohr una go come for saying "Okay, why didn't he call a player that he knows will fit the way our attack functions? Why didnt he call this or that?"

Make una dey cool down. This pattern always repeat itself. The best players to fans looking at a list are always those not on the list. Na wa.


On this "we can play to his style"... Just as in the case of Onuachu... I want to add something on this. The national team don't meet for weeks before a game to work on playing to the style of a particular player. In the short time that the team will meet, they will have to work on playing to the style that suits everyone and that will produce the desired result. If a player won't fit into how the team is meant to function to approach a game, then there is already problem.

If we wanna play to Onuachu's strengths which actually require an alteration of our fast attacking style that involves the striker also making channels of attack for the inverted wingers, then we will need more training sessions dedicated to just that. And we would need to play without skillful inverted wingers too. How many wingers do we have of traditional style? How many of them even start for the NT if any?

Any striker coming in will meet Chukwueze and Kalu/Simon as the wingers (not to mention Ejuke, Dennis, Lookman coming in) and have to cope with establishing that on-field synergy and understanding with them to flourish.

This is why folks here make me laugh when they run their mouths because somebody has goals stats. I want them to tell me the league goals stats of Giroud prior to the 2018 WC compared to Lacazette at Arsenal. When they have researched that and found out the obvious. They should please tell me why Giroud (on lesser goals) was picked ahead of a Lacazette who scored more.

In 2017/18 season prior to the WC in Russia, Laca outscored Giroud in the same league (EPL).

In 2016/17 season prior to the season that came before Russia 2018, Laca outscored Giroud also.

So why was Giroud always picked ahead of a player with the better goals stat??

National team football is not just about your club stats in as much as they also should be good. Ultimately it's more about how that national team functions and which players will carry out those functions best.

Let that sink in. It's good to have the club stats in your favor. But what good are your club stats if it cannot be translated to the national team because you struggle in the system of the national team? Question mark for those who don't seem to get (but may want to understand) the dynamics of why stats doesn't say it all.

Truidstar:


You have it all with your unbiased analysis. The problem is so many people here follow their sentiments..tribal or otherwise. Rohr cannot please everybody. Westerhof used over 200 players between 1990 to 1994, he had to pick a final 23.

Olulong:
Wow. This would be huge

elunico:


I believe this has something to do with Onana's ban. I would like for this to pull through, the young man has been steadily improving.

SAY WHERE YOU TO PLAY CARLO ANCELOTTI TELLS ALEX IWOBI

Carlo Ancelotti has said Alex Iwobi should tell him face-to-face where he prefers to play at Everton rather than resort to cryptic complaints on social media.

Iwobi marked his selection for Nigeria’s forthcoming internationals against Benin and Lesotho with an Instagram post on Tuesday that read: “Always an honour to get a call up to my national team. Hopefully I get to play in my preferred position.” The 24-year-old did not specify whether he was referring to club or country but posted the comment a day after being substituted in the 56th minute against Chelsea. He was also withdrawn in the 58th minute of Everton’s previous game at West Bromwich Albion, and has been substituted in his last six starts.

He was also withdrawn in the 58th minute of Everton’s previous game at West Bromwich Albion, and has been substituted in his last six starts.
I read the post. I want to speak to him, of course,” said Ancelotti. “I want to know his preferred position because usually I want to put a player on the pitch where they are comfortable to play, not where they are uncomfortable to play. If he has an idea of where he prefers to play I have to know, I want to know. I would be delighted to know his preferred position and I’ll put him in his preferred position for sure, no doubt.
“I am going to tell him: ‘Tell me, I am your manager, tell me where you want to play’. When I thought to put Pirlo as a holding midfielder I asked him: ‘Do you like to play there or not?’. ‘Yes’, he said to me, ‘I’d love to play there’ and so I put him there. If he wants to play number 10 or number nine I’ll put him at number 10 or number nine no problem. I can adapt the system.”

Olulong:


Yeah. But the question now is what happens when Onana ban ends??
