EEGA:
8 champions league games, no goal,no assist.

He needs to work on himself.

Does this in any way mean he finds it difficult against well organized and better teams?

EEGA:
Faith Terim played him as a 9 in one of their matches this season but he lasted 90mins on the pitch but couldn't score.His team didn't even score that day.

Musa is also like Onyekuru , he(Musa) started as a 9 against Serbia but couldn't make any impact till he was drifted to the wings and Ighalo came on to fire a weak shot on goal that the GK grabbed with ease.

Why do think Rohr opted for a 3-5-2 against SA if Musa can play as a 9?

A players preffered position might not be his most effective position.

Onyekuru is a LWF/false 9.

daveP:
Has the star performance gotten to his head?@Sam Kalu

His whereabouts wasn't forwarded to his club and they've decided to discipline him for one week.

andrew444:

He wont be fined
Rohr has spoken to bordeaux

andrew444:


He no mean,i already know where you are driving to

How many goals him team dey score for champions league wey you wan use am judge am? he is good take it or leave it,you cant be using that against him,he is a winger and he has been playing as a winger.

Suarez has not score in the champions league since barcelona 6-1 win over PSG,its 1 year and few months now and suarez goal drought in the champions league has continue

Is suarez a bad striker?

EEGA:
Ogu is in the team because we don't have better mid-fielders.

How come the CHAN eagles lost 4-0 to Morocco?

2 pages back Kratoss has answered ur question on why we refuse to invite local players to the SE.

Finito.

EEGA:
All his goals has been as a winger.

The day the Faith(Gala) played him as a CF he didn't score and had a poor "who scored" rating.

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?

I actually don't think so. In reality all the players you mentioned will not get into the Liverpool first team as it stands now.

But you can't be conclusive because he has not had opportunity to show what he can do or not do rather he you are suggesting he should be denied opportunity.

You dont know how good or bad your players are until someone else comes along to contest with them. Competition increases quality it doesn't decrease it.

Last season in the Championship despite some time off for injury, he played 22 games for Fulham scoring 4 goals. His contribution has resulted in them being in the EPL. I can assure you Fulham still wanted hin if not club politics he would be there now.

It's obvious people want to compare him to Chukwueze. I am not one to be carried away with hype. Chukwueze has played 2/3 games in La Liga and on that basis he is now HUGE TALENT. That's not my approach.

When a player has just moved from youth football to senior professional first team football. You give the player time to progress. Not after two games you give him the standing of an experienced professional.

How many times have player been hyped and never lived up to the tag. Too many to mention.

Seyi was bought for the sum of £1.8 million from MK Dons by Liverpool when he was just 14. But no big hype was placed on him. He has a huge task ahead of him to displace Salah in Liverpool that doesn't seem likely to me.

Particularly as he is not getting enough game time.

It's in this context you should appreciate the situation Liverpool also are not too keen to lose him just yet. Last season Newcastle bid £10 million plus but they refused.

I will not make a conclusion on a player from a handful of games. Taken in context he Chukwueze is not in Real, Barca or Athletico. So progression for him is relatively easier in comparison.

Villareal is staring relegation in the face, they have played 12 games and one only 2. This is not a team on the up but a team that will give young players opportunity. So it's best for him. Out of those 12 league games he has played 2/3 and people say he is a starter for Villarreal. Luckily he is quote disciplinedvand focused and as such should not get derailed by the unnecessary hype. Praise him by all means but don't over do it, that can cause a player to loose focus.

For me he is very promising player with lots of potential and talent that is still finding his way. He really shouldn't be compared to Seyi in any way who has had about 3/4 season of first team football.

I would compare him to Bobby Adekanya both left footed. Bobby left PSV to Barcelona and from there to Liverpool. Do you think if Bobby was at Villareal he would be in the first team❓

In football nothing is certain so I really do not know. It might interest you to know that Villarreal B team flogged Liverpool 7-1 the other night. Unfortunately I didn't watch the match it was just too cold do I didnt go.

What I am saying in a nutshell without tasting a variety of soups, I know no d one were sweet pass.

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.

I agree. I'm watching him as we speak and he's not making any impact. He's playing LWF with no shots on goal in 46 minutes. Not even any assists that lead to a shot on goal. He really needs improve.

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

Earthquake2:
Is Sheyi Ojo making the first team at Reims?
Is he playing regularly and performing consistently?

That's the info we need, not this useless stat:

andrew444:


Richarlison is a winger and he played as a winger last season for watford,he didnt play as a striker last season,if he played as a striker he will get more than 5 epl goals, and he is impressive that why everton paid 40 for him.

You see you are changing it,i am going to give you list of impressive wingers,stop twisting it by saying wingers that are better than martial and rashford, Martial didnt play well last season.

Manuel lanzini played from the flank last season,with 5 goals and 6 assist.

Marko Arnautović played from the flank last season with and he scored 11 goals

Anthony Patrick Knockaert played from the flank with 8 goals

Ryad mahrez of Leicester last season nko?

I no go mention again.

Mickael2:


Read your comment then read what Komekn typed earlier then you will apologise to him.

So the impressive wingers you have listed scored 5 goals in a season? What did Komekn say? He said the wingers are not judged by their goal returns, how is 5 goals in a season an exception to that?

This is Arnautovic's page on whoscored, dude is a true forward https://www.whoscored.com/Players/34693/Show/Marko-Arnautovic

Then you have also pointed out that if Richardlson played as a CF he would have scored more than 5 goals, the argument started when Komekn said the reason why Ojo has not scored any goal this season is because he is a winger and wingers do not score too much, so why call him a joke?

As a clinical psychologist let me advise you to actually read the comments before you reply, it actually helps a lot. No offence

tbaba1234:


In 10 league games, Sheyi has only started twice with no goal or assist so far.
