Balogun can not play 7 games straight without something coming up. Assuming we get to the later stages of the competition, we need adequate back up.

8 defenders is very likely.

Napoli has just signed Carlo Ancelloti to a three year deal...

How e take concern us?: Well it fuels the speculation that Moses may be getting a new coach at Chelsea likely to be Maurizio Sarri (Napoli's outgoing coach). Seems conte is leaving.

Always been a Barca fan but my local league comes first..

Well if we fortify the squad, we will surely boss Europe and the league.

Lol wetin concern me with like,say e go put money for my bank account?

So you be barca fan? Anyway we are up for the treble next season,One luv bro barca 4 life

Hmmm, alright, i didn't know this.

i guess it is the fifa rule that a player going to the world cup is not allowed to play any friendly match less than 10 days after his last match for his club

somehow:
Plain truth! Kayode wasn't dropped based on performance, he was dropped based on preference.
Anyone who think otherwise is dishonest.
EOD.

bros, performance and preference will always come in place when choosing, a player like Kalu of gent should be there too if we are talking about performance alone.

The coach will only choose 30 and then 23, there is so many good players, he just have to tailor it down.

let me give you an example France constantly play Giroud ahead of Lacazette in the qualifiers while lacazette kept him on the bench in arsenal, the coach preferred giroud because of his system.

somehow:
Hmmm, alright, i didn't know this.

that was why non of athletico's or nigeria's player pencilled for world played yesterday's friendly

This means ONE thing: Maurizio Sarri.has been selected to replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea. Not a good way to treat Conte, but he would be laughing all the way to the bank with all the money Chelsea would pay him for terminating his contract.

At least it got ur attention

Martz101:


sorry it's not funny, try harder buddy

You're repeating what i have just said. preference was used to drop him.

Kalu was never in Rohr's plans nor has he ever invited him to camp.

I express my views better than most. That is not what I meant

I meant that in the sense that I am impossible to figure out, so if you gather 1,000 posts from me, you still won't be able to figure out where I stand.

It's fine.

I don't need to gather up to a thousand posts. I already know where you stand, at least in your personality, likes and dislikes, hobbies etc.

Good point. I really wish that FIFA can allow us to go with only TWO goalkeepers, so we can sacrifice that extra spot for a defender. I mean, both Akpeyi and Ajiboye are useless anyway

Kayode to bench Stuani? which of your strikers is hotter than that guy?

oga stuani was recruited just about time they got kayode, kayode had more goal than stauni prior to the move, younger and was expected to perform better than him.

This is the first tine stuani is scoring double figure in europe

Is Oblak not worldcup bound?

Danielnino00:

First of all, as per FIFA rule,all teams must present a squad with three goalkeepers,no more,no less..
Most teams will actually be going with more defenders than midfielders unless some forwards are listed as midfielders...
Going with 8 defenders isn't a problem at all especially given the fact that all our fullbacks are versatile..
as for the midfield, I think we have seen enough of that already.. it's clear that majority of our midfielders out there are DMF.. no need to add an extra dmf.. should Joel obi make the list, then it will be 6 midfielder and 6 forwards...

Okay... All I'm asking forbid wear your shock absorbers. Valid point actually.

tbaba1234:


It is open training so they will be on the sidelines.

Ebuehi's father
Aina's Father
Iwobi's father

All in Uyo.

Omo, make dem no emotionally rope Rohr oo. Cos Aina and Echiejile have to slug it out.

somehow:
And he repeated the feat by being on the team of the month in Ukraine within few weeks of moving there. meaning if he had more playing time in Girona + being played at the right position, he would have done well too.

Ignore sentiments. Not saying he should be in Russia, that is left to the coach which has already phased him out but the truth remain what is it. the truth.

don't be deceived kayode is still not a starter in Ukraine

somehow:
Always been a Barca fan but my local league comes first..

You are a fan of naija league ?

What are you saying na? Did Stuani ever underperformed while getting started ahead of Kayode? if not, why then would the coach have benched him for Kayode? he scored 21 goals in 33 games.. meaning he was delivering so had no need to be benched.

Won't the fathers presence influence Rohr's decision? In relative to the LB position especially... Just asking

Precisely what I thought but Germans are a straightforward people and can be emotionally detached.

somehow:
That is where you're missing it. he's not a tribalist, he has his kind of players and over-passionate when discussing them. some of the names he supports aren't Yoruba. check his comments for evidence and don't expect me to do this for you o.

Me don talk my own sha

Kayode should have find way to perfrom to, is no one fault my brother. not me, Nairaland nor Rohr

somehow:
Is Oblak not worldcup bound?

he is from slovenia and they did not qualify for the world cup

Slovenia did not qualify for the World Cup

Lol 2 goal keepers u dey really vex for that akpeyi

Eric Cantona and David Ginola were dropped before France 98. Two huge names. They still won the title.

None of the players dropped by Nigeria is as big as either player. Let us focus on the players, we have.

somehow:
You're repeating what i have just said. preference was used to drop him.

Kalu was never in Rohr's plans nor has he ever invited him to camp.

Using your words, what makes you think kayode is in Rohr plans, if a very good player can be discarded and all you could say was his not in his plan, then I'm very sure kayode is not in Rohr plan for worldcup.

abi you wan force an to dey him plan?

And is he not performing in Ukraine now? btw, Stuani was in Girona a month before Kayode and was already performing well, Kayode was a backup and Stuani refused to slow down with his nice performance.

elyte89:


4FBS,4CBS....KILODE

ARE WE GOING TO RUSSIA TO DEFEND
7 is okay

Brazil,France,England and Spain have same
Are you a better attacking team than them

Because Rohr invited him multiple times unlike Kalu. that says it all.

That he didn't make the 30 man list is based on preference and not performance.

EOD.

somehow:
Aina's dad is there for the politics aspect of football... Well preference is what will save Echiejile... I think some people in the NFF and also the coach like Echiejile.... Aina might squeeze in if politics + outstanding performance is recorded in camp or if Echiejile pull himself down with under performance.

Living and playing in Russia should give Idowu an advantage here, secondly, he's the most versatile of the 3, can play up to 4 positions and also good with both feet.

Aina is also good with both feet but not as perfect as Idowu on the left leg.

Defensive wise, Echiejile might be better unless camping says otherwise, followed by Idowu, then Aina.

Echiejile is a better choice if we are to revert to 3, 5, 2, followed by Idowu, Aina can't operate in a 3, 5, 2.

Attack wise, Idowu is better, followed by Aina, then Echiejile.

Stamina wise, Echiejile is better, followed by Aina, might be uncertain with Idowu when it comes to stamina.

International experience wise, Echiejile is boss here, followed by Aina, then Idowu.

All in all, their performance in camp should speak for them followed by favor and preference from the coaching crew. his tactics will decide who ends up in Russia.

na now i know say that kwale dey work well, so Echiejile is perfect for 3-5-2.

a position that need concentration, fitness, speed and edurance

Bros, that dude always gives me a heart attack each time he plays for us. And I mean, each time - even in the meaningless friendly match against Senegal a long time ago! I can't believe that the dude is a national team goalkeeper.
