Yes i prefare more experience at d back as u know that is d major weakness in dat team. I would nt want Ighalo in this team cos i would love to see us raise younger forwards dat can compete for position with Ighalo in d attack.

And may I know y u prefer Musa over Ambrose and Ndidi over Omeruo?Remember Ambrose is a natural centre back.

What is happening to this once very active and vocal thread. Where has everybody gone so all of a sudden.

terzurum5, icon4s, safarigirl, TheGoodJoe, SuperNerd, and co.

joseph1013, Bascovanveli, enomakos and Mikron are now the only guys moving the thread.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY! NIGERIA HAS QUALIFIED FOR THE OLYMPICS. REASON FOR WHICH THIS THREAD WAS CREATED AND LO AND BEHOLD THE MAJOR ACTORS HAVE ABSCONDED.

Icon4s:


Yeah, the problem with this team is more with the midfield and defense. But thank God we got the ticket. The final against Algeria is nt much of importance to me.

Truth is 75% of this team may not make the Olympics. For that defense the following Super Eagles players are eligible as U23s: Kenneth Omeruo, William Troost-Ekong, Chima Akas and Kingsley Madu not also forgetting the uprising Wilfred Ndidi. Note also that Musa Mohammed (the 2015 U20 Captain) would be available for selection. Remember we can present 3 over-aged players; I would personally recommend 2 defenders (Leone Balogun and Efe Ambrose/Obaobona) and 1 defensive midfielder (Ogenyi Onazi).
Imagine our backline and DMF to be:

Balogun.......Ambrose/Obaobona.....Omeruo......Madu/Akas

.........................Onazi

Possible Substitute defenders: Troost-Ekong, Ndidi, Mohamed, Oduduwa, Sincere
This is a defense troop that can get the job done in Rio.

The following players have staged a claim to places in the Rio Team (Not necessarily starting 11): Emmanuel Daniel (Should be promoted straight to the Super Eagles), Oghenekaro Etebor, Azubuike Okechukwu, Stanley Dimgba and Junior Ajayi. The other players will have to try hard in camp to impress the Siasia led Crew knowing fully well that we still have players like; Isaac Success, Imoh Ezekiel, Moses Simon, Godwin Saviour, Kelechi Iheanacho, Elderson Esiti, Alex Iwobi including 6 defenders I earlier mentioned. Also I believe Siasia will give Kingsley Sokari and Etor Daniel another opportunity to correct their wrongs.


My Dream starting line up:

.........................Daniel

Balogun...........Ambrose............Omeruo............Madu

.........................Onazi
.......................................Azubuike

Simon...................Iheanacho...........................Saviour

.....................................Success

WITH THIS TEAM WE CAN CONQUER THE WORLD.

Musa Mohammed has speed and he function well in the attack and his recovery rate is hog her than Ambrose , I see him becoming a better player before the tournaments proper , don't forget, he can handle dead ball and set pieces , I want us to have numerous options in that category . Although Ambrose can attack too but his recovery rate can't be compare to to the young blood . And Omeruo is injury prone , he can be a calamity on his off day , Ndidi can play that role also play as a dm very well ....

This piece is really brilliant and a formidable formation anywhere anytime.

I would personally prefer Osimhen Victor is the team. I would rate him higher thank Awoniyi Taiwo.

Well, but when Success and Ezekiel finally show up i dnt think Osimhen will stand a chance. Awoniyi and Osimhem should form the strike partnership of our next U20 while Isaac Success, Junior Ajayi, Imoh Ezekiel and Aaron Samuel justle for d Rio Forwards position(s).

BascoVanVeli:
Bootleg Match Report.

1st off i have to finally agree with oga Icon4s, Junior Ajayi is a very talented footballer who plays with pure loyalty for his coach, i shall follow the lad from now on and i wish him the best.

Osimhen has broken the trend. I didn't know what to expect when he came in but what we got was the same thang. He was even more physical than the Senagalise defenders, his run timing was off and that was probably the only sign there was to know he is a 16 year old.

The game was interestingly dull. It ended with only a goal but had alot more chances. Senegal will rue this match because their finishing was not at the level they should have expected. I do wonder why Siddy Sarr was kept on the bench so long, seems Iheanachoish to me.

Our Keeper Daniels was my man of the match, he stopped a penalty and also made a mind blowing one on one stop to keep us in the game. Although the penalty was his fault he didnt do much wrong before and after.

But between Imoh Ezekiel and Victor Osimhen..? I will go for Victor Osimhen anyday.
His height, pace and scoring acumen are things any good coach would crave for .

Icon4s:


Bro football is nt like that o. "Experience and Maturity", u cant buy those from d market. Imoh is a much polished and experienced striker. Even Awoniyi's position will b threanted if both Imoh and Success shows up in training.

casket:


Hmmmm..
'Experience and Maturity', I agree perfectly that Imoh Ezekiel has both in his kitty .
My biased and deluded mind would still pick Osimhen ahead of Imoh..
Have a blessed night rest .

I would personally prefer Osimhen Victor is the team. I would rate him higher thank Awoniyi Taiwo.

Icon4s:


Thanks. Fact is for Ajayi to lead the attack of an NPFL team at d age of 19 it shows he is a talented young player. Now u'll consider reasoning y he was nt selected for d last U20. This brings d question of whether d scouts of our youth teams are doing enough?

Victor Osimhen to me won that match for us. His contribution was so immense and he showed so much confidence and for a 16yrs old.He opened up d game.

As for Emmanuel Daniel, that guy should be promoted to d Super Eagles. Carl Ikeme may b a short term replacement for Enyeama but I see Emmanuel Daniel as a possible long term replacement. I know there is also Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Dele Alampasu on the line bt I think in Emmanuel Daniel we have a better prospect.

TheGoodJoe:


My problem with the team is that there is no passmaster. Which is key to Siasia's game plan. Coach Siasia likes his teams keeping the ball. Without this kind of player, his teams crumble.

Among the three over age players, I say we get Mikel. That is one pass master I know.

It must not be Mikel but someone in that mold. If there is no one, get Mikel. Siasia should invite Nwobodo also to camp and try him.

BascoVanVeli:
Ok thank God we made it to the Olympics. Now i can drop my 3 overage players.

1. No question about this Vincent Enyeama. Mr Nigeria for the past 10 years. I hope the troubled water is under the bridge because when Enyeama plays Nigeria is always in the game. I don't think he plans on retiring from football he just wants others to get a chance and this could be our chance to give a truly great a proper send off.

2. Odion Jude Ighalo could be the most known Nigerian by the time the Olympics roll around, right now he is in the running to be the top goal getter in England. He hasn't done much internationally but which super eagles has in the past years?

3. ??. If Mikel starts playing again cool. If not Onazi, i believe he will be 24 by then. Before his injury we all know what he brought to the table. Our form ever since is an exact replica of his, since the world cup both the super eagles and Onazi have not reached the true level's of their capabilities. The man is more important than he is given credit for. Lately he has showed flashes of his usual brilliance and i am banking on him to even lead us to the world cup.

Icon4s:


Hmmm....makes sense. So which other 2 over aged players would u recommend and why?

Icon4s:

I agree with u and TheGoodJoe on the choice of Mikel in the midfield but if Siasia has to chose from between Onazi and Mikel, I think Onazi would add more value as we need a solid defensive Midfielder that can also support the defense and attack.
