U got it. U now find more reasons to criticise Siasia's Nig vs Egy list of invited players. Amuzie i believe took Kingsley Madu's place.

Kingsley Madu is far better than Elderson Echiejile already.

TheGoodJoe:


Just watched his highlights, just to get a feel of what he is about. I must say the boy is good. He is skillful, a very good crosser and a good long ball Passer.

One thing I noticed is that the clip did not show much of his defence. So it is difficult to judge him on that aspect.

The few clips of his defending shows he more efficient intercepts and Knicks the ball off the opposing winger's foot.

That guy would have been a better match for Sallah.

Icon4s:


No. I said, Ndidi would b a DMF and an additional Wing Back, asides Madu and Abdullahi, b introduced to still make it 5 defenders.

Icon4s:


IMHO he is currently our best LB.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not know of that one but offensively, he is our best.

forgiveness:


Ndidi would be DMF for sure. Then, Moses Odubajo will be the additional Wing back, asides Madu and Abdullahi.

Icon4s:


Amuzie to me is better on d offensive than on the defensive.

Icon4s:


Looks workable to me. But will Siasia drop Amuzie then?

TheGoodJoe:



There are things that a full game will help me judge. For instance Madu goes high up the pitch a lot. I will like to see his recovery speed when he losses the ball. Something Oshaniwa does with ease.

I will like to see his body strength against strong Wingers. Something we saw a lot with Amuzie.

With Madu, Amuzie and Oshaniwa, I wonder how Echiejile found his way back to the team. I think Coach Siasia brought Amuzie to camp to check his recovery from injury and he impressed in camp.

TheGoodJoe:


In the games against Egypt, his job was to stop Salah. It was simple as that and his Defensive show was impressive. I think the media downplayed the strength of Salah and expected to much from Amuzie.

forgiveness:


Hmm! Don't be suprise that Siasia might drop Madu and some good players.

forgiveness:


Bros, Which one you dey now. Yesterday, you said we needed a wing back to move forward but today you are saying we needed a defend.

Icon4s:


Madu is a typical modern defender.However, i must say Nigeria was d dominant side in his games that i have watched. What some1 of dat nature needs are 2 experienced CB that can effective provide cover.

Against Chad Madu took more shots on target than most of d attacking players. Remimiscense of Roberto Carlos - the originator of modern day LB.

forgiveness:



He is among the defenders i left out. Kingsley Ehizibue, Ekpolo Elohor, Stanley Amuzie, Obanor Erhun and Musa Mohammed.

We can't take all these defenders at the expense of good midfielders and strikers. Remember, we only took 5 defenders to Atlanta Olympic games.

It was very funny to me that on page 113 a certain Joseph1013 came in (hmm... 13 on 13... Coincidence?? I don't think so *winks*) and burst your precious balloon. Why? Because you were not stating the whole facts, my friend. #Bigsmiles

forgiveness:


Add Iheanacho.

TheGoodJoe:


As for Echiejile, they are no match. I think Echiejile was losing his place already under Oliseh. Oliseh already fielded Madu against Chad. (I saw that in the clip). Oliseh was also tracking Amuzie.

DrinkWater10:

It was keshi that fielded Madu against Chad Sir, and he performed wonderfully well in that game.

Icon4s:


If u say Shehu Abdullahi has no experience at all, is it Odubajo hu has never been involved in any international match?

I will pick Andullahi and even Sincere Seth before even considering Moses Odubajo

TheSuperNerd:
Synonymous with "superbly", "excellently", etc #smiles

Kingsley Madu is to me Nigeria's best LB right now and he's still so young.

I really missed him against Egypt though Amuzie is another fine left-back talent especially when he's on the offensive. Amuzie's defensive game is okay but can get far better.

I rate Madu ahead of Amuzie in my books. #smiles

And hey Sir TheGoodJoe, Sir Drinkwater is right. It was Keshi was capped Madu. Oliseh took over about one month after Keshi left (was fired). Why do guys keep mixing it up? #smiles

Even some journalists "MISTAKENLY" include the Chad game as one of Oliseh's competitive wins while in charge.... But they're wrong. It belongs to Keshi.

Icon4s:


Jst like d choice of Ighalo ahead of Iheanacho.

Bro, letme tell u. I dnt trust Siasia's would b selections for Rio. U notice he already has some of his boys in the team. That will nt give room for fairness.I fear we may nt take d best to Rio.

forgiveness:
Due to the limited numbers of players required to make the list for the Olympics, i humbly suggest that utility players should be considered for selection and above all experience and talent. These criteria has helped me to frame up a list of players i think are potentially good enough to help us win or atleast create an impression in the Olympics.

Starting from the back line:

1) Moses Odubanjo; Moses Odubanjo can play as a RB, LB, RM and as a RW. He is currently the most consistent RB we have right now. Odubanjo plays for Premier League promotion prospect Hull City. He has won individual laurels;Leyton Orient Young Player of the Year: 2012–13, Football League Young Player of the Month: April 2014


2) Kenneth Omerue; Kenneth doesn't need any form of introduction because he is an old guard of the Super Eagles. His wealth of experience which he garnered at the AFCON won by the Eagles and at the World Cup will go a long way to help fortity the defence. He can play as a RB and CB. Omerue plays regularly for his Turkish team Kasimpasa-sk.

3) Leon Balogun; Arguably Nigeria's most in-form defender in Europe. He is eligible to play as one of the Overage players. Balogun can play as a RB, CB and DM.
He is currently plays in the Bundesliga with Mainz.

4) Ndidi Wilfred; He is currently playing regularly for Genk in the Belgium Pro league. He can play as a CB and DM.


5) Kingsley Madu; Kingsley can only play as a LB but he is the most consistent and experienced left back eligible for the Olympics. He was a member of the 2013 U20 class and currently the Super Eagles.


This is my list for the the defence. I want us to replicate the Atlanta Olympic team by chosen only 5 defenders.


Any objection before i move to the midfield?


Icon4s, TheGoodJoe, BlackAlbino6, TheSuperNerd, terzurum5, Joseph1013, orkpekyandega, lakesidepapa BascoVanVeli, Badosqi, tbaba1234, justiz5 and the big bros i didn't mention. Make una no vex ooooo.

tbaba1234:


Siasia has his favorites. We will not be taking many of our better players to Rio.

Madu is also an offensive left back too. He is not that solid defensively.

I rate Madu higher than Amuzie too.
