Vlahovic and VDB doing wonders on same night.
We love to see it.

Blueelf:
You guys shouldn't forget that Maduka was not even on the bench for watford and he is SE starting GK

That is worrisome!!!

mkrest:
Don't know if I should be happy or sad
Any truth to this?

andrewbaba44:

Mujtahida:

To look for one gem inside one million is too much work for the national team coach

Joezinho:
The SE coaches need to take a serious look at Dennis..

He has been excellent all season.. He is a more direct player than our other options. He does have an advantage in that he's bigger and stronger than the others. And he's likely the fastest of them all.

He has speed to burn. He’s definitely worthy of a spot on the team and the coach can find a use for him as an AM, a second striker, even LW. I’d take him over Kalu or Simon on current form and definitely ahead of Musa..

We thank God for the riches we have.

Danielnino00:


Strikers

Osimhen
Iheanacho
Awoniyi
Onuachu


Wingers

Chukwueze
Ejuke
Dennis
Lookman


That should normally be our 8 attacking option to the AFCON...

TheGoodJoe:


No one said he should research the one million players. Do a art by scouting some of the best talents in the NPFL and NNL and do some development work for them.

He will be helping in mining the pool. Just as working on other sectors.

Joezinho:


Both Musa and Simon are not bench worthy materials, they're absolutely not good enough to start for Nigeria. But I keep on saying it that Musa is 10 times better than Simon for anyone being honest. Simon can't dribble,can't cross, and can even mark oponents. He is one of the main reason for our yeye football lately.

Even the last game, the moment Shehu replaces Simon, we suddenly look like a solid football team for the last 15min or so..

Danielnino00:


It isn't the responsibility of the senior national team to help in developing players.. That's what football academies and cadet teams are for..

Again, if the senior national team decide to take up the responsibility, how will they go about it?Most NPFL teams don't even have a proper youth team.. Some of them conduct open trails every season to select new players..Age cheating is common.. And when you add the poor playing condition of the league including poor pitches, poor coaching and officiating, you are facing something bigger!

Don't forget that NPFL clubs were banned from producing players for the U-17 team because of issues like that...

The league needs total overhaul... Until that happens, the senior national team has no business in helping to develop players from there....


Another big issue you aren't considering is that these "gems" don't seem like they care about the football development you are talking about... One call up and appearance for the national team, and they will be on their way to obscure leagues in Europe and the middle East... they are more interested in chasing the bag.. These are issues...
I know you mean well, but like Mujtahida said, the pool is too dirty..

Can they still switch allegiance to Nigeria?

Emmanuel Dennis is a fantastic player, but he is not the strongest neither is he the fastest winger in the current crop.

TheGoodJoe:


I find it ironic that you took the time to define the obstacles young talented players face in this country and ended it by saying cut an opportunity for them.

That does not add. With a lot of resources channeled into the national team, it is vital they contribute their quota to boost the development of players.

They can come up with a strategy that will not hinder the team but in the long term can favor the team highly.

As long as we have obstacles that can hold players back, we have to use all available means to help. So your theory does not add up.

The goal is to keep building the national team to help us compete with the best in the world. A home-based plan can help the team in the long run. Not deter the team.

Players running to obscure leagues mean them getting better opportunities to improve themselves. It does not mean the chance to work with them is over. What is most important at that time is to monitor their progress.

mostob:
Lookman? I will take Henry instead though.

I like Onyekuru too...Like a lot! He is our most prolific goalscoring winger...
But you see, his club form of recent has been poor.. Lookman is in better form than him...

zuchyblink:
There is something about home based players. Did you know that the most successful national teams in the world features more home based players than foreign based? The number of home based players that have won international laurels out-numbers foreign based players. Successful national teams like Germany,Italy, Brazil and Egypt achieved greatness with more of home based players. Npfl should try and improve our league. Do you know why super falcons are no longer what they used be? Because they don't play at home again so there is no cohesion

maidaboi:
Henry need to be allow like Kalu to focus on their teams right now

TheLoneCitizen:
You can't script this better.

Van De Beek and Sancho United's best player in the game that gets Solksjaer sacked.
