Na Etebo go replace Ndidi. Amoo go replace Onyeka. Abi we go use Sadiq replace one of them

And the Ghanaians actually have a fair decent midfield not as good as the essien era, but are decent. As for me, I am going into the game with a free mind i don Dey lose interest self in World Cup. A tournament that an African team can never win. May the best team qualify

drDoom3:
Where is Akpoguma?

He dey house

Don’t compare

Second division is second division

If you wanna talk down on onuachu stop going through the corners ,nobody go beat you

You funny .... Who wan beat you?
Nobody is talking down on Onuachu...

mostob:
oga...show me where I insult Sadiq. Abeg count me out of any excessive generalisation you make here please.

And you're asking me how many 90 minutes Onuachu has played...this is funny. You forgot he was the first choice striker at the AFCON.

Osimehn and Ighalo have brought their club form to the national team.

Stop downplaying onuachu by comparing the Belgian league to Spanish second division

If onuachu stats is easy how many of your Nigerian strikers they played at the Belgian league have given you such stats ?

Onuachu first choice striker at the 2019 afcon with ighalo starting more games than him and having more minutes

Onuachu played only 3 games at the 2019 afcon with just 80 minutes ,starting only against Burundi playing 73 minutes ,his remaining 2 games where 3 and 5 minutes but he was the first choice striker while ighalo started 6 games out of 7

You are by talking down on the Belgian league ,trying to put it as a second level with segunda

mostob:
what ia the difference between Primera and Belgium anyway?

First division Na first division and second division Na second division

Genk that use to play at the champions league and Europa league yet you are comparing them with a segunda team

If you do not have great options look to weaker leagues for the top performers just as we are doing with Sadiq.

A half fit Etebo can't be better than Obinna and Yusuf who are performing regularly. Our forwards are not gonna slot in to midfield roles
Wetin Amoo one do for match of this magnitude. he has a big future, but this is not the time to gamble.

How in the heck did an inexperienced player like amoo get selected ahead of ejuke or Nwakaeme? People usually get impressed when players impresses at Lower league and will ask for them to replace they ones at a superior league. On current form, amoo isn’t better than Ejuke. Overall, it’s not a biggie. The biggie is lack of enough cm

humility33:


The reason why we can even score the list 70% OK is because this coaches are just starting

I don't trust this duo of Austin and Amuneke

Only God knows what they're capable of doing

I will be hoping to see Mikel Agu make subsequent lists

My fear exactly. Eguavoen is one dimensional...

His one dimension worked in the first round at the afcon, but it failed against an average and depleted Tunisia team. Scary thing is he's still stuck on the same 442 formation.

We are already loaded in the wings. They picked him for the midfield. Your question still valid.

Ejuke and amoo plays the same position just on different sides. Amoo plays as a RW, SS while Ejuke plays as a LW, RW or SS. There’s no blatant blueprint on how squads are selected. Anyway, we should respect our coach decision

Terem Moffi scores for Lorient.

Oga...Onuachu was the first choice. Baba started playing katikati football until he was subbed out for Ighalo who later scored the winning goal. If na you be the coach, you go start Onuachu for next match?

This men have nothing upstairs save for westerwolf tactics reason why they keep pitching round the super eagles and barely succeed managing teams outside the country

You watch him talk on tactics the other time and he spent all the minutes explaining and describing westerwolf tactics in the 1990s

Yup. Is it because he’s not playing in Europe? Ighalo is still a top top player.

What gave you the idea that Eguavon is still stuck on the 4-4-2?
Just by looking at the list you already concluded that it's 4-4-2 he will use?

andrewbaba44:

What I meant is there is not much difference between the opponents both faced in their respective league. If it's other way round, I'm sure you would advocate for Sadiq to be tested in a better league before being called up.

Okay then, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.

JohnBullMySon:
Osimhen did almost the same thing as Dennis. Go and read about his conversation with Pinnick. Na why I even stop to blame Dennis.

You're the one advocating for Amoo's inclusion some weeks ago, now Amoo is inexperienced.

Joebie:
Yusuf is primarily a CM, but can play DM etc (Versatile, Kante-like) Nwobodo is a DM. Who else in this squad do we have to replace Ndidi. Who to replace Onyeka for example? Since you are saying Amoo and Etebo are the best back-ups at the moment.

It's either one of the forward is sacrificed for either Nwobodo or Yusuf. If Iwobi was not suspended,Amoo may not likely be invited. Ndidi and Aribo will obviously start leaving Etebo and Frank as backups. Should there have been more midfielders? Yes, I agree. Should Nwobodo and Yusuf have replaced Etebo and Amoo? I disagree.

Icon79:
Yup. Is it because he’s not playing in Europe? Ighalo is still a top top player.

I'm not disputing that Ighalo is a top player. But on current form, Dennis is ahead. Playing on EPL is not the same as playing on Saudi

Joebie:

If Amoo plays in midfield that means Eguavoen will be playing him out of position. He is a right winger..

He is not an okocha type of player, he is a denilson type of player or Leeds utd
raphinha type of player.

Imagine leeds utd playing raphinha in midfield.

OK, look at it this way. Osihmen was just recovering from a serious injury that required surgery and had not even played for his team since after the injury, then, add to that, getting COVID. So I don’t think that there’s possibly any way he could’ve forced his way to come.

Dennis on the other hand was prevented from coming due to some silly administrative paperwork. Osihmen should’ve forced his way if you switched their places.

andrewbaba44:


Osimhen case was not different abeg

Dennis was happy to skip the tournament,as per Dennis PA wey you be

When I tell una say e go make the team una say na lie ,una want make dem drop am because watford no allow am come afcon but they should not drop osimhen

Oh, they will trash Ghana - home and away - because the current Ghanaian team is useless and hopeless. But my fear is that that victory is gonna cover up the whole ojoro players invitations.

Rorh would have done the same, except that we would see Akpoguma in the list, but not Onazi.
Amoo won't be there. No much difference. Last last na how we play go determine am.

Onuachu started only against Burundi because ighalo wasn’t fully fit ,how can a first choice start only one game in a tournament and the rest 3 games aren’t more than 5 minutes

Stop lying to make a point ogbeni ,if you don’t know the meaning of first choice then learn

7 games in a tournament and onuachu starting only the first game so automatically he is first choice

Be calming down with your Lies ,if I say you are talking down on him you will disagree but it’s clear here

mostob:

We can't judge until we see the line up..

Don't forget that he switched to 4-3-3 at some points during the AFCON.. So be clearly isn't limited to 4-4-2 like some folks are trying to say...

Yea..let's wait and see

Okay then, let’s wait and see whether Dennis will start ahead of either Osihmen or Ighalo.

Trust me, our strikers against Ghana are going to be Osihmen and Ighalo. Dennis will start on the bench.

And osimhen played for his team while the afcon was going on

You guys should calm down abeg ,it’s too bad they a certain player can’t do wrong in the eyes of you guys

Osimhen should have forced his way and he didn’t forced his way at Napoli ,it’s your confidence for me

Double standards will never leave you guys

I kept on saying Dennis will make the team but many of you want him dropped ,for reason best known to you guys

It’s shameless Coming here defending osimhen for the same thing you guys didn’t defend Dennis at

Our coaches keep making the same mistake. They don't care about midfield and it is important. We should get more midfielders not forwards.
Other teams have noticed and capitalize on our weaknesses in midfield.
Ibinna nwobodo, alhassan Yusuf etc are needed than all these talented strikers we have
