Imo Ekong is terrible in defense not balogun

TheGoodJoe:


Nwakali is coming to camp because other players do not possess a key skill set Eguavoen needs for his strategy.

He can manage the others but he needs to see if he can get Nwakali to click because of his system.

komekn:


Lookman is a winger and he has played 8 games scored three goals in the EPL this season.

KC is a striker ,false 9 , forward player, not sure really but he can't play wing . He has played 14 games and scored 3 goals.

From the moment Ademola comes on he changes the game and gets the winning goal against Liverpool. He was outstanding beating his man Trent several times.

That's just being ,matter of fact.

Where is the supposed over hype and gassing of Nigerian origin players developed outside of Nigeria.

You are just blatantly prejudiced.

The worse foreign born ass licker is Charlesemeka. Guy loses his senses at the mention of a foreign player. The way he worships them ehh. I remember him telling us that perennial championship underachiever like Ejaria was the best thing since bread and butter.

komekn:


Wow❓what key unique uncommon outstanding skill is that please That only NFF coaches can see and NOBODY ELSE.

andrewbaba44:


Thank you for this

We are even yet to see the eguavoen team play yet some people are ranting just because they didn’t call up some of their favorites who aren’t even important members of the team self

I am not a fan of eguavoen but they should cut him some slack abeg ,they just want anything as far as Na foreign coach

I want a foreign coach also but not a 9th grade foreign coach like rohr abeg

What where they even expecting eguavoen squad to look like self

Dennis is still an upcoming player at the moment, he is still down in the pecking order of current African elite players, ivory coast is coming with holands and ucl top scorer, mane, salad, wendy, aubameyang, koulubaye, riyad mahrez etc will be part of Afcon. Don't build to much expectations around Dennis Emmanuel

SerVik:
I thought Ejaria's switch started the same time as Lookman? He wasn't even in the 40man list

forgiveness:


NFF deliberately appointed a coach before the AFCON because in eventuality Eguavoen wins it, it will be difficult to appoint a Foreign coach, this is what NFF is trying to avoid.

NFF- Eguavoen Responsible On Decision To Axe Ademola Lookman From Super Eagles AFCON Squad
Owngoalnigeria

Leicester City rave of the moment Ademola Lookman has been clearer by FIFA to play for Nigeria but was dropped by interim coach Austine Eguavoen, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Lookman who has scored in his last two games for Leicester City against Manchester City and the winner against Liverpool yesterday was included in the 40 man list submitted by ex coach of the team Gernot Rohr.

The ex England international was picked by Rohr after getting the all clear by FIFA to play for Nigeria after representing England at several youth levels. He was even contacted by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and confirmed his availability for the tournament.

However new coach Austine Eguavoen opt against including him in his 28 man list for the tournament which starts in January next year for reasons best known to him according to a board member of the NFF.

” Lookman is cleared to play for Nigeria and he was even contacted on his availability in January which he confirmed. New coach Eguavoen however didn’t pick him in his squad. So it’s not our fault we did our own part in getting him cleared”, he explained.

Per a document made available to our editorial team, Lookman is the 37th name on Rohr’s list and his status was confirmed by CAF as eligible to play for Nigeria. He however didn’t make the cut after Eguavoen trimmed the squad to 28.

Odunayaw:
Yeah bro.

TheGoodJoe:


But white Rohr can be trusted.

komekn:


You should look at yourself.

You are the most rancarous , twisted, bitter leaf soup master garnished with double standard, bigotry eaten with the meat of prejudice, negative bias and lies.

That's your DNA.

komekn:


And he committed a school boy error in giving away that penalty,

If Salah had rolled around and went dramatic he could have been punished with a red card.

TheGoodJoe:


Negative and conservative tactics rules Amaju Pinnick.

komekn:


Ejaria made his commitment over three years ago , I spoke to him personally.

But you know if the NFF don't complete the due diligence and required administrative process.

Who do you blame the player.

Not too long ago Aina had his application delayed he should have played for the SE much sooner. But somebody in the NFF by commission or omission did not submit and or delay the completed application to FIFA

I wonder why

Truidstar:
Those hyping our players foreign born or home grown...please continue to do so and increase the volume. For those complaining and am sure were still suckling their mothers breasts; cannot recall a time when all we celebrated was how many minutes our players played. Most of our players were certified bench warmers. We have been in the football wilderness and suffered various indignities. We were called "Super Chickens" and the butt of various jokes. Now we have players that score, assist and put up man of the match performances week in week out. Let us continue to hype to the high heavens cause no one will do it for us. This is our time and lets make it loud.

ChrisKels:


At almost 25, what has Ejaria, the chronic championship flop done with his career to warrant the NFF going all out for him?

TheGoodJoe:
Cucuela of Brighton was amazing today. Had a good time watching him.

Meliforme:


We can lift the AFCON trophy with what we have.
We are not average.
An attack that has Osimhen, Iheanacho, Chukwueze is not average.

A midfield that has Ndidi, Nwakali, Iwobi and Ejuke is not average.

I have been conducting an in-depth assessment of our players and what they can offer in juxtaposition with players from some of the African powerhouses, and i can tell you that we have what it takes to beat any team, if the coach is right with his tactics and player deployment.

kingphilip:

Because Nwakali got a call up from a lesser 2nd division than him

komekn:


Wow❓what key unique uncommon outstanding skill is that please That only NFF coaches can see and NOBODY ELSE.

Meliforme:


Having Ejuke and Nwakali in midfield brings a lot of options when attacking.
