Huhn, see as i just dey eye this ya New Remote.

Unless I'm missing something, but wasn't Ighalo brought in at half time when we were 1-0 down?? He held the ball better than Nacho. Yes he's not a great finisher like Nacho but he has better hold up play, is far more skillful and is just as mobile or maybe even more.
If you're going to play the likes of Musa and Onyekuru outwide, Ighalo makes even more sense.
We've done this Nacho as a 9 thing against Algeria and SA. It didn't work out.

TheSuperNerd:


Papa ehn... You and food..

TheLoneCitizen:




That's what I'm saying, the squad no has no prima donna in this team any longer. If Joel plays well and the manager feels he needs to go off, he is indispensable. So no more guaranteed right wing for Moses, midfield for Mikel.


This invitation list is the best list plausible at this stage. Proven players and tested. If the testing goes wrong, the coach will recline on the proven and that's the reason for Joel and Onazi's invitation not that he tolerates laziness or lackadaisicalness.

By the way, no matter who the manager calls up, the masses, you and I will never satisfied.

''Oya wey that ya remote''?

if the man is tagging Kalu a potential successor to Moses, then he may not be trying to convince Moses like the media wants us to believe

..think you are smart?

TheGoodJoe:


Onyekuru - Nacho - Musa will make a more mobile, creative and lethal setup than playing Ighalo in the center. I always look at the Forward setup as a unit and we going with mobility, creativity and lethality as the ideal ingredient for it.

TheSuperNerd:


Well, you mentioned it first so.....

darkelf:


Ighalo didn't solely take the blame for poor performance but he stood out among the rest for mediocrity and for being unfit

Ighalo I know has been poor since the the preparation for the world cup commenced...
he has never impressed me one bit.

I remember his foolish play against Iceland...ball he would have passed to musa he selfishly missed it.
so when he missed that against Argentina I wasn't surprised....he just confirmed how clueless he is in front of goal.

safarigirl:
Joel and Onazi are 'proven' players?

Let me leave Onazi out of the discussion because he at least had his moments in the GWG..... What is proven about Joel as far as the national team goes?

TheSuperNerd:



In a two man attack in a 3-5-2 I cannot wait to see Nacho-Kayode combo... The energy will be wicked! Or even a Musa-Kayode upfront... Or another three-pronged option of Nacho-Kayode-Onyekuru... Evil awaits!

Icon4s:


So what?

Well....let me go and break the firewood I will use in cooking food tomorrow morning.
SuperNerd say because dem dey diss Iheanacho here make I no chop morning food. But e no go work.

Icon4s:



I would rather want to see an Iheanacho-Onyekuru combo

A proven player is a player who a manager has tested and has yielded positive feedback. Fellaini for instance is a woeful player by popular accession. But he is a proven player for Mourinho, yet in one of those matches, he came off the bench and gave a penalty to an opposition two seasons ago. But he is still a proven player in the eyes of Mourinho, so also is Matic. Giroud was a proven player for Wenger, Milner is a proven player for Klopp.

Onazi has been trialed and tested by Rohr and has yielded result, so even when he drops clangers it changes nothing, he remains proven. Although Joel is questionable, though.

Noah Joel Sarenren-Bazee is one name that has been mentioned in connection with the Super Eagles the past one year after pledging his international future to Nigeria ahead of Germany.

Bazee endured an injury hit season last time out and that cost him a spot in the Eagles squad for both the World Cup Qualifiers and the World Cup proper as he didn’t get enough games for German Bundesliga side Hannover 96.

After coming through pre season unscathed, many thought he would finally get the chance to impress in the colours of the Super Eagles in the 2019 African Cup of Nations Qualifiers game against Seychelles.

Earlier today coach Gernot Rohr announced the list of players and once again Bazee was missing from the 24 man list and he didn’t even make the standby list of four players named by the Franco-German coach.

Owngoalnigeria.com gathered the decision to omit him from the list was once again due to his fitness battles as he only recently returned from a broken toe picked up in pre season and Rohr decided to leave him out of the team.

Joebie:
OGN had said Ighalo would not be in he list. Abeg leave that website when like to guess. They make up stuffs that are obvious sometimes, attributing it to Rohr. Just like saying Rohr’s decision to leave out Success is because the league has just started and he hasn’t been given enough game time.

that is why I said, let me leave Onazi out.

There is nothing proven about Joel, nothing 'positive' except all his positivity is saved for training only
