At last Chukwueze comes on 73rd minute, he should find it a lot easier than his first game.

Rangers are very tired and down to 10 men so it's open for him to shine.

U re really scared of Chukwueze scoring, taking all these precautions 1st-Flanagan being a shadow of his former self 2nd-Tiredness.

Bro. just admit that the boy is good and stop comparing him with Umar who couldn't get SE call- up with his exploits in Eredivisie.

We re talking of Chukwueze a LA liga player.

andrew444:
Everton winger Henry Onyekuru is a target for Bayern Munich.

Fotospor says Bayern Munich will send scouts to watch loaned out Everton winger Onyekuru in Galatasary's Champions League clash with Lokomotiv Moscow tonight.

Onyekuru has not appeared in a competitive game for the Toffees since a £7million move in the summer of 2017 due to work permit issues and spent last season on loan at Anderlecht.

He has impressed in the Turkish top flight this season and has now been surprisingly linked with the Bundesliga giants.

https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/everton-winger-henry-onyekuru-a-target-for-bayern-munich-4258652

Right now he is not in Rohr's list of wingers but a move to Bayern will see Rohr drop Kalu to the bench for him.

All this loan,loan no good especially loans for Turkey and Belgium.A loan in Europe's top 5 league will be better .

With first half done, Gernot Rohr seeks glorious encore
By Christian Okpara



There are indications that Gernot Rohr wants to be remembered for several good things after his tour of duty in Nigeria.
One of such is his successful effort at lifting the Super Eagles from a fallen side, which could not qualify for two straight African Nations Cup competitions, to a giant of world football close to the height it achieved in 1994, when the team was rated as the best five in the world.

Since he became Super Eagles’ Manager in August 2016, the Franco-German has been slowly, but steadily building a team of young players, which he believes will in no distant time fulfill the dreams of Nigerian football fans for a sturdy side.

While insisting that the future is bright, the Super Eagles’ coach says that that future is beginning to unravel with the Nigerian team setting some records, including being the first African side to qualify for the Russia 2018 World Cup and also qualifying for the 2019 African Nations Cup with a game to spare.

Rohr recently signed a new contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that will see him leading the country to the Qatar 2022 World. He said his target for now is to achieve a glorious encore in his stay with the Eagles.

Speaking at a Sports Editors’ Roundtable, tagged ‘Peak Breakfast with Rohr,’ organised by HS Media Group, owners of the HotSports brand and sponsored by Friesland Campina, makers of Peak Milk, Rohr projects that the next few months are crucial to country’s aspirations, especially at the 2019 African Nations Cup.

He adds that the quality of players available for selection in the Super Eagles has given him the belief that better days are ahead for his team, stressing: “I have achieved 70 per cent of what we set out to do from the onset. There is room still for improvement, but there is a bright future, because more young players are coming with more qualities, more fighting spirit and enthusiasm, which is what I like in my teams.


“I see a player like Alex Iwobi and the joy he shows when playing football. I see the joy in Kalu and Chukwueze… the enthusiasm they bring to football, the joy to play and the readiness to work for the team.
“The situation we have now is that even when a particular player is not around due to injury or suspension, the person replacing him brings the same spirit to the team. But there is still a lot of work to do… to make fewer mistakes in the defence. But I think we are on the right path.”

However, Rohr admits that his team still needs improvement in all the departments, saying the goalkeeping department is an area he needs to do more work on.

He stated: “Our goalkeeper is still young and needs more experience. You cannot be perfect in this area at the young age, but he is working hard everyday to improve.

“Our defence is also not at the level we want. Balogun is not playing in his club, which is not good for us. I hope he gets more chance to play. We have to look at ways to fortify the defence. Fortunately, we have found a good left back in Jamilu Collins. He is giving us satisfaction.

“I think we need more legs in the midfield. We have John Ogu, who is very powerful and decisive. We have the young Etebor, who is playing in Stoke, but he has to improve much more. We saw Mikel Agu, who did well in Asaba.

“Ighalo’s return has done well for us. But we are still searching for good players upfront. We don’t have players in the mould of Jay Jay Okocha, Rashidi Yekini, Finidi George or Sunday Oliseh, but we have a good team. We are open to better players because we have to improve on every department.”

Rohr is happy that his players have shown tremendous appetite for hard work and sacrifice, which he said could only lead to success. He explains that the team is blessed with quality leaders, who have made the task of coordinating the squad easy for the technical crew.

“Musa’s leadership of the team has worked very well because he brings the right spirit to the group, which is very important. He is a younger man than Mikel with a different mentality.

The captain is very important because he can help me to bring to the team not only the right spirit, but also the right organisation on the pitch and off it.

“We spend about 22 hours of the day and perhaps two hours on the pitch. He also helps in the hotel and in the travelling, which is very important.

“Mikel is also a fantastic captain. He brings a certain calm to the team and the players respect for what he has achieved. We are blessed because in his absence Musa has done well. Even if Musa is not around we have our third captain, Troost-Ekong, who is also a very good character and an example for all these young players we have now.”

Rohr reveals that Alex Iwobi is now his playmaker, the real number 10, adding that the Arsenal man’s vision and ability to dictate play will be crucial for the team going forward.

He adds, “Chukwueze wore number 10 jersey in Asaba because the jersey was available

“A lot of people were very surprised that I invited him, but he is doing well in Villarreal. He is left footed and that is good for us. Kelechi Iheanacho was the only attacking left footer in our team.
“In the past, we even played some matches without a left footer, which is not good. When you play a game without at least one left-footer, there is always a problem.

There is a law in football that you must have at least one. With Collins, Kelechi, Ogu and Chukwueze we now have good competition in the squad.

“What we need is a good cocktail from all of them, right, left foot and people that can also head the ball.
We have four wingers already in Chukwueze, Kalu, Musa and Simon Moses. We are lucky to have left footers now, who can cross very well. Today we see left footers playing in the right wing and crossing the game very well.”

One of the questions Rohr have been asked often is his seeming neglect of players from the local league, with his team made up of almost 95 per cent foreign-based players. The coach disagrees that he has no regard for local players, adding that he rather prefers players who are active and can add to his squad.

“You know we have had at least 20 local players from the local league since I became manager here. But the problem is that after one game they all run to Europe. Stephen Ezeh, Stephen Odey, Alhassan and a host of others.

“Sometimes we see that some people want local players in the team because they want to sell them to Europe. That is not what we want. We only look out for the quality of the players.

“But it is so difficult to have local players in the Eagles when they are not playing. You have a situation where for three or four months the players are not playing because the league has been halted abruptly. We are not in the national team to keep people fit, but we need people who are fit to play.

“We also need better infrastructure in the country to make the players better. To even play our matches there are not enough good pitches. The clubs don’t have pitches. Everywhere there is lack of infrastructure, especially pitches.


“The clubs don’t have junior teams. There must be U-20 teams, U-17 teams owned by clubs with good coaches to teach them the right way to play. If there is a regular league, better training for young players and better infrastructure, the players will also become better.

“The problem is that there is so much inconsistency. The league has not been active so the players cannot be scouted because you cannot invite players who are not active. We want to see the local players in the CHAN team, U-23 team etc. But I think President Pinnick, Seyi and Dikko know what we want and I am sure they are working on it.”

On the belief that he waits for far too long to make changes, he said switching players depends on the situation and the collective decision with his assistants. “Against Argentina at the World Cup, I wanted to bring in Iwobi for Musa, but my assistants, who were upstairs analysing the game, advised against that.

They told me that the Argentine defenders were afraid of Musa and changing him would be counterproductive, so I waited. Perhaps, I should have gone ahead to effect the change.

“We change according to situations and also, we know that something can happen to change the dynamics of a game, like a red card to the goalkeeper happening when you have already made all the changes. That means you cannot bring another goalkeeper and would be forced to play without a goalkeeper.”

Rohr thanked the Delta State government for providing the Stephen Keshi Stadium, which he says will complement the Godswill Akpabio Stadium and the Adokie Aimeisimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt as Super Eagles match venues.

He, however, advised the Delta State government to work on certain aspect of the stadium to make it perfect for games.

“The players prefer good grass pitches all the time. The Asaba stadium is a brand new one, the grass is only six months old and is not yet of top quality. We spoke with the grass man in Asaba on how to cut the grass and he promised to do it well and then take away the old grass and not leave it on the pitch.

“Everybody saw that the ball was not bouncing very well in the game against Uganda. They need better equipment for rolling the grass. We had very warm welcome from the people and the governor. That is why we need to go to other venues to play so that Nigerians in different cities will see their team.

“But I think the players believe Uyo is the best pitch in the country. This is also what I believe. It is a stadium where you can have access to the dressing room without hassles. In Asaba, it was difficult to get into the stadium. For the first time in my long career, I had to come down from the bus to try to see that people left the entrance so that the bus could enter. So, the Asaba stadium needs better organisation, better access to the stadium. In Uyo we have all of that. It is a World Cup stadium, but it is good that other states are building good stadia so that they can host the Eagles.”

The coach laments that Nigeria is the only country that does not play important matches in the federal capital and big commercial cities like Lagos. He adds, “We cannot play in Abuja because the stadium is not good. There is a stadium, but there is no good grass. And it is not too costly to construct good grass pitches.

“I will also like to play in Lagos. I saw the national stadium in Lagos but there is no grass. Lagos should be able to receive the Super Eagles and other national teams.”

On the allegation that his team has no defined pattern, Rohr says, “We play collective football. The World Cup taught us that possession does not win matches. We want to go straight to goal, with vertical passes, quickly and we want to give our strikers a lot of time to be creative in their approach.

“When we lose the ball, everybody has to fight to get it back through pressing. We have quick players and we have this fast kind of play. We have scored a lot of goals, even though not lately. That is why we need quality players. The strikers can dribble and also play for the team.”

On players changing allegiance to Nigeria, Rohr says the decision must come from the players, who must write to their current federations indicating they want to switch to Nigeria.

“In Ola Aina’s case it took eight months because in UK four federations in the country must decide. It is easier with other countries like Germany and Austria. I spoke with Kevin Akpoguma’s father and he said Kevin should make the decision himself. And Kevin told me he is not ready yet.

“Ademola Lukman and Solanke are not convinced. They have not made up their minds so we will allow then to decide. We will go back to them later, but we cannot force anybody to play for us. It is very important decisions for them to make. Noah Bazee is also on our radar.”

Rohr dismissed the claim by some pundits that his team struggles when faced with physical sides, as demonstrated by the last match against Uganda and that the Eagles cannot cope with the robust African football they will face at the Cameroun 2019 African Nations Cup. He says the solution lies in preparing well for the competition.

“We need to get another physical coach not only to work when we are in camp, but also to go to the clubs and work with players who need help.

“Sometimes our players need individual coaching. Now we have Tyrone Ebuehi, who is coming back from injury, we sent a coach to work with him. We did it with Uzoho when he wasn’t playing for Deportivo before the World Cup.

“At the World Cup, we played against physical sides like Iceland and we were ready. It is important to be fit physically and now that we will have three weeks to prepare for Cameroun, we will be ready.”

Rohr rates Nigeria as the most passionate football-loving nation than all the other countries he has coached. He admits that sometimes the passion could be taken too far, but he is happy that the NFF has given him free hand to do his job.

“This passion comes with pressure from the people. But I have never had this pressure from the NFF. We had a technical committee that became difficult to work with after the loss to South Africa last year.

“They wanted to do our job for us because we lost that game. That was the only moment when we felt they tried to influence our choices. But the current technical committee is different. They allow us to do our job. We are working with good people now. Before we make our list, I consult my assistants, my staff and scouts and sometimes the medical staff. We send our list to the technical committee and they always approve the list. It is also in my contract and the present committee respects it.”

On his relationship with Ogenyi Onazi and the absence of the Turkey-based team from his squad lately, Rohr said it was all down to medical issues.

He adds, “Onazi’s case is very simple, he has inflammation of the tendon. In Uyo, he told us honestly that he can only play with injections. I spoke with the doctor and the doctor said it was a big risk for the team and also for the player. So, we explained it to Onazi that we cannot do that. I have to take care of my players’ welfare, that is why I agreed that it is better for him to treat himself than risk the injury. But we were surprised when we saw that he played a game soon after in his club. I told him it is a big risk for him. Like everybody he is part of the team. Some clubs do these injections, but our medical people refused to do that, and I am with them on that.”

On his obvious humility and ability to stay away from scandals, Rohr attributes it to education and upbringing. “I had a wonderful father and seven siblings. So I learnt to share and be accommodating. He was a teacher and also a coach. He told us that the first thing you must have in life is humility to be able to share and to respect other people.

“I was born after the Second World War when life was not easy, but we learnt to adapt to situations.”

On his relationship with the NFF, especially on welfare issues, Rohr said Nigeria has been a good employer, adding, however, that money is not the most important thing in his relationship with Nigeria.

“In other African countries, I had to wait for some months before the money will come. But I know that when the work is well done the money will come. That was what I tell the players that if the money didn’t come immediately, lets work well first to attract the money.

“Before I came here, I heard so many negative things about the country, but I wanted to find out things myself and draw my own opinion about the country. It is so far positive. My contract has not been respected 100 per cent, but I know it will be respected fully.”

Rohr wants a situation where he will have access to the other national teams to help develop a collective approach to the game, saying he has written to the NFF on that.

“I have proposed to the NFF to have a meeting with the coaches of the junior teams so that we can talk and have one philosophy for all the teams. I think the board will grant our demand.

“We had a good relationship with the CHAN team because Yusuf Salisu, my assistant, was its coach. Imama is also in my team and I hope he will be in charge of the U-23 team. Sometimes, we have very young players who are not ready for the Super Eagles, so we need a situation where we can send them to the U-23 team or the U-20. We should have a good communication with all the teams.”

Rohr reveals that he plans to play five friendly games before the Nations Cup next year, adding, however, “we want to choose the opponents very well. We will play two games in March, one being the last qualifier against Seychelles.

“We have to go to teams to speak with the players, their coaches and scouts. We want to see the results of the tests they did on our players and know the approach we should adopt for every individual player.”

Rohr mentioned 4 wingers, S.Moses, Kalu, Musa and Chukwueze.

No Onyekuru.

Eleniyan15:
Now am in love with Rohr cool and calm!! After watching him on NaijaMade Live today on supersport, this man want the best for S.E.

He knows his player's so well,spoke on late substitution,Nacho Matter,Moses,Balogun,iwobi and local player's (Lokosa)

He also talked about our midfield (that the place the man his really having headache)





Argument on nacho issue should just end, it just pointless. we all know nacho has regress no confidence anymore!! We pray Leicester city coach give him game time.


Men on board also mentioning players name rohr should call up, honestly this man knows what his doing base on what I saw today live on S.S!!

Everything na steady steady
The like of Ebere and co will definitely be called up when it time.

Remember everyone can't be Nigerian Player.


No need to rush things


Personally,Rohr get many headache pass us because too many option.
He fell in love with Ajayi,Samuel Kalu

No more war for here, if you can watch the complete episode of today Naijamade.

No more beer parlour rant,lol
Chikena!!!!

Any link?

or brief us on wetin him talk.

Danielnino00:
I hope the referees at the Afcon won't overlook this kind of foul play.it appears deliberate

We need VAR for AFCON.

komekn:


Stating facts is not bringing a player down.


Actually he has played 2 games in La Liga and barely 5 cup games. So maybe 7 first team games in his entire career.

My yardstick is always the league games because teams can give any player cup games not League games.

Considering how few games he has played is it not way too premature for him to be in the SE. We did the same with Nwakali and Osimhen.

How well they performed is totally IRRELEVANT, it is effectively denying far more deserving players OPPORTUNITY.

And given opportunity they may well do much better than all these rookies.

We have a player who is the 5th highest goal scorer in Turkish league not invited yet we can invite players from Isreal.

We have Josh Maja at 19 being courted by multiple EPL clubs and the same follows for Ebere Eze, and we invite a boy who has played two league games. Both players having played near three seasons of first team football.

Something is going on here, not sure what it is but it doesn't seem we are looking for the best we can get.

Or is thier a fear that some of these players may displace the favoured players by some in the NFF. I simply dont know.

But what's clear the system of selection is not based on measured consistent performance.

And if you have to respond can you be civil please abusive and caustic rhetoric doesn't promote intelligence.

Chukwueze wasn't invited while playing for Villarreal B despite being one of the outstanding players in Segunda B.

The system might not be perfect but I could recall a player once said "his man management skills are not that good but he rewards "hardwork".

Osimhen had to move for playing time and his goals in Belgium earned him a call-up.

Iheanacho according to Rohrs statement on him will not be dropped from the team which to me could be because he was the one that asked him to leave ManCity for another Epl team.

I must say this, Rohr rates the Bundesliga and Bundesliga2 just as you rate Epl and the Championship.If he can call-up Championship players why not Bundesliga2 players?

How many games has Dominic Iorfa played this season?

Ajayi has started all their games this season with a MOTM performance in one of them so he stands a better chance of getting a call-up than other players who need a switch of allegiance .

For Josh Maja, the league 2 is too too low for SE call-up.

Exclusive – Super Eagles Captain Mikel Ponders Quitting International Football Unless…. The captain of the senior national team of Nigeria John Obi Mikel is currently in Nigeria with his family as part of his end of season break after the conclusion of the league in China. Mikel watched from the sidelines as his team Tianjin Teda survived the drop to the second division in China, no thanks to the injury which has also prevented him from representing Nigeria since their elimination at the group stages of the World Cup in Russia. Nigeria powered their way through the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations without their influential captain and seal their spot at next year tournament with a game to spare just like they did during the qualifiers for the World Cup. For now unless Mikel secures a move away from China to a team in Europe, there’s every tendency of him quitting the Nigerian team before the start of the tournament in Cameroon next year, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal. The distance he normally covers to honour international call ups have had it’s tool on him and the spate of injuries he has battled the past three months is down to fatigue. Furthermore he want to be close to his family as his twin daughters are already schooling in the United Kingdom. Although he still has a year to run on his deal with Tianjin Teda, he has a verbal agreement with the club that he will be allowed to leave when an offer from a team in Europe offer him a deal.

Kingsley Michael receives double MOTM after scoring against Consenza and Bossing the midfield against Crotone, eyes 2022 WC in Qatar-Owngoal.

oloriooko:

He should not forget to include the central defense too

With Ajayi and Omeruo we are good to go.

Rohr lists the Creative midfield role ,top striker and Gk department as areas that requires improvement-Owngoal.

andrew444:


You seem to be winning me

Let me agree with you

But don't judge football in such way bro

Munir plays for Barcelona and played in a better league ,but does that make him a better player than mbappe who plays in the French league aka farmers league ?

We should also consider the fact that Mbappe is surrounded by world class players(Neymar,Cavani,Di Maria,Verrati,Thiago Silva e.t.c).The French league might be low in quality but the PSG team is made of World class players.

andrew444:
Omeruo in action for leganes at the moment

Omeruo is good but lacks pace, they say he neutralised Griezmann against Atlethico but failed to cope with Percy Tau's pace.

The difference b/w Balogun and Omeruo is that Balogun covers up his lack of pace with excellent positioning and intelligence coupled with his superb ability to read the game.

andrew444:


Stop trying to bring a player down okay

You denied it before but your words here says it all

Someone came from Villarreal academy and he is making the first team because he worked hard ,why are you trying to use it to dis another player because he plays for the Turkish league ?

Even if you hate a player try to be sincere okay .

Chukwueze is yet to play 20 career games ,please give him a break okay.

I say things the way it is.

Call a spade a spade.

After the Nigerian Argentina game I argued in this thread that Idowu unlike Ebuehi does not get involved with wing plays and does not bomb forward nor boss his flank.I also added that he is too defensive minded and more suited as a LB than a LWB but most of us were carried away by his goal.

No one has hyped Onyekuru like I've done in this thread.

Utonwanne:



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

Villareal and Gala no be mate.
Spanish LA liga and Turkish Super league no be mate.

Playing against Barca,Valencia,Real and Athletico Madrid is far far better than playing against Besiktas and Fenerbahce.

I can assure you that if Onyekuru leaves the Turkish league for one of Europe's top five league, Rohr will start playing him.

For Rohr, where you play and the kind of opponents you face matters.

raindodger13:


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.

Onyekuru is a good player.

Rohr does not rate the Belgian,Austrian and Turkish leagues.

Emem Eduok even have more goals to his name in the Turkish league than Onyekuru.He(Emem Eduok) is rated as the 5th highest goal scorer in turkey.

Kalu didn't receive any call-up while playing for Gent till he joined 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?

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?

andrew444:


According to man people here he lacks the movement of a No 9 but he knows how to score goals than many strikers.

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?

andrew444:


According to man people here he lacks the movement of a No 9 but he knows how to score goals than many strikers.

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.

Kayode on the bench, Onyekuru starts.

groundnutoil:
so is the Slovakian league or Slovenia league but rohr doesn't look there
all am saying if u are good u are good no matter where u play

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.

ok but he is Gala second highest scorer in the league so I heard

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.

ogu in plays in Israel how is their league quality akpeyi in South African league

Ogu was part of the Super Eagles before Rohr took charge.

The SA league is far far better than our league.

he can play their

Not for the national team.

Faith Terim (Gala) and Van(Anderlecht) has played him there ending up with poor results.

He lacks the movement and physicality of a no 9.

granted the league quality no dey dat high doesn't mean there aren't good players in the league too
trying playing in bad pitches without salaries for months and still put up some good displays and tell me you won't do more if given a more comfortable display consistently

Sunday Mba gave us the trophy but their are better mid-fielders who play in Europe who would 've done better but due to the 7 slots for Home based players then we had no choice but to make do with what we have.

We have "raw" talents in the league but they need to leave the league to be "refined".

how old is onyekuru

Onyekuru is not a CF.

BascoVanVeli:


Fact, Nacho created more chances than any player against South Africa. I was very happy with his performance against SA. He is losing confidence because of his coaches. They just expect miracles they don't want to give him time to find his feet. With my last money I bet Iheanacho scores the decisive goal against SA but he got subbed. Players who can play nonsense for 90 minutes and still score the winner are special players and should be treated as such. I can watch Luis Suarez miss all day and still believe that he will score because that is what he is, a scorer. We don't have a player that can score like Kelechi.

Wetin do am against Iceland and Argentina.

Created?Please throw more light.

A guy with heavy touches against SA.

He killed a counter- attack that would have gotten us a goal.

When he got the ball he just didn't know what to do with it, as he hesitated the SA defenders recovered to collect the ball.

Iheanacho was poor against SA.

As an analyst you say things the way it is not making statements like"he needs our support".Like say others wey better pass am wey no receive call-up no need our support.

With the Kind competition wey we get AFCON go sweet.

Seyi Ojo's switch of allegiance almost done-Own goal.

elyte89:



Give us ur final 23man list,at least last year when we qualified for world cup .peeps were already dropping dere 23man list

I c a man losing his spot again sha,who did b4 world cup.... D likes of onyekuru/simon/Aina might not go to anoda tournament again ,while I c 2new players gate crashing d team(chukwueze if not injured),d oda person I don't knw

Aina is likely to make the squad as back-up to Collins.

We may do.

But if it was the team that played Uganda then I very much doubt it. Cameroon are having a resurgence and behind it is Seedorf

The Ugandans were physical and rough against us.

The Onyekuru we know needs at most 10mins to show what he is capable of, but against Uganda he didn't make any impact.

We created more chances in the 1st- half with Chukwueze and Osimhen than in the 2nd-half.

There is resurgence in Cameroon...even the players invited....Did you see save after save by Onana[Ajax goalkeeper] against Brazil? The team we will meet in AFCON is going to be very solid...at a stage they played with so much confidence against Brazil...it was on and off...we have not fortified relevant positions-midfield-in our team....if Mikel is injured or red carded...our team panics or loses confidence...we need more fortification and more competition for places ESPECIALLY MIDFIELD AND DEFENCE...our attack is loaded but not prolific...

Iwobi is best in giving that FINAL PASS....not dictating play from the middle...our middle need battlers,commanders,Oliseh type..Rui Costa model..no showboating....Iniesta levels

Our current team can play without Mikel.
