The most important thing is that Vic mo has retired and will not return

But you guys need to stop lying by saying he lacks commitment abeg

Lol na who go lose. I am just waiting for the next round in WCQ

mank1234:


Yes I can't but agree with you going by how this team is playing. I wish we can bring in Okocha and Mikel to man the midfield.

ChrisKels:


Who are the rookies? By the way, what makes one experienced and the other a rookie? Did you know that Algeria's all conquering AFCON squad consisted of players who have never been to any major tourney prior that afcon, same as Cameroun's, Keshi's and Zambia's all conquering squads?

Which other experience do you need that you don't already have in Musa, Omeruo, Ekong, Balogun, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Awaziem, Ndidi, Chuks, Simon, Kalu and Osimhen? Has Ighalo played more Afcon or world cup than any of these players mentioned above?

Mujtahida:

Why should I lie? If you disagree with the assertion, say so. Don't be quick to call someone a liar just because they voice opinions different from yours.

I recall then that even in the news and my own personal assessment, Vicmo had this vibe that showed he wasn't committed. I wasn't a lone in perceiving him as non-committal. Read the link

TheGoodJoe:


Ghana went to the World Cup with loads of Rookies and did well.

They are rookies because the coach is still stuck with not knowing how to groom players. If you don't give them the chance to learn, they will be 28 years and rookies.

That rookie talk is fake.

If you can't bench these guys in their clubs, it is criminal to believe the player will perform better at the AFCON.

Or is the experience skill to trap ball. Did you not see Gavi with no experience outperforming players with decades of experience at the nations league?

zuchyblink:
If you go to the AFCON with the likes of Osimehn, Chukwueze, Ejuke..... forming the nucleus of our team,we are going to be whooped

zuchyblink:
Yours is far from the truth. Efe 2008,echijiele 2009,Ideye 2010

TheLoneCitizen:


Exactly my point, transfer fee is not directly proportional to quality.

Iheanacho can never command the same fee as Osimhen because of his age.

No player in the history of football have commanded a big money move at the age of 25 while playing for a non-top 4 side without back to back league performance.

zuchyblink:
2013 AFCON winning team Enyeama has been with national team since 2002,Mikel,2005,Efe 2007,Ideye 2007,Ikechukwu 2006,Moses 2012 played for years in Epl,Echiejile 2007,Emenike 2011 played many years in Europe and Africa. This is what is called experienced team.players that have tasted action home and abroad

Pinnick knows nothing about football and team tactics

He is just good in politics

Such a shame we've allowed politicians to run our sports

chrisooblog:
Efe was not a core member of the team until around the time Siasia started coaching the team in 2011, Echiejile was second fiddle to Taiye Taiwo until Keshi came on the scene. Ideye too wasn't really a starter and before 2013 you could count the number of times he featured and scored on one hand.

The irony is all these guys were ''rookies'' when they won the AFCON lol

TFLASHOGEE:
good compilation and worth of a 5 Star mention but that thing you are thinking might actually be a castle in the air if Iheanacho doesn't believe in him self like Salah and put on the hard work and improvement Salah did to get to this stage in his career

andrewbaba44:


Even with back to back performance I don’t even think any has command such

My point is this, experience is the best teacher.most successful football teams in the world are mainly made up of experience players

elunico:
Last time I checked, Ighalo is no creative midfielder, nor a creative forward.

If he's needed back in the team, then we'd have to clamor for Okocha and Kanu.

Kog45:
Iheanacho attaining Sallah level a pipe dream.

Sallah left Chelsea and moved to Italy to rediscovered himself.

Osimehn moved from Wolfsburg to lowly Belgium club not to talk of the league to shake things up.

But Iheanacho preferred playing second fiddle in Leicester city....

TheLoneCitizen:


Yeah, there are less than 7 of such cases in history.
Maguire, Mahrez, Grealish, Haller.
Very rare. 100% of such cases are English clubs.

ChrisKels:


Enyeama 2002 - 2013 = 11years... "Ahmed Musa covers this with his debut dating back to 2010"

Mikel 2005 - 2013 = 8years... Kenneth Omeruo covers this with his debut coming in 2013

Efe 2010- 2013 = 3years... Leon Balogun covers this with his debut coming I'm 2014

Uche 2007 not 2006 - 2013 = 6years... Troost Ekong and Akpeyi are here with their debuts coming in 2015

Echiejile/ Ideye 2010 - 2013 = 3years... Ndidi, Iwobi, Iheanacho cover this

Now, funny enough, the supposed experienced Ighalo wasn't even an integral member of this squad till 3 years ago, unlike those other players mentioned above. So where is the so called experience of his coming from?

This team already has enough experience and bulk of the experienced folks in this team made their debuts before Ighalo and remained with the team when Ighalo was exiled due to his poor form. Abeg make we hear word with this una over rated ABF defensive striker of a player

If SE needs something different from Osimehn in a game, I will rather ighalo come on than onuachu and awoniyi. I am just saying presently because I’m the future, things will change
