"Priviledged to be there to shine".

Mind u he was team captain before Mikel's inclusion.

Azubuike may jst b out of the national team now bc of the abundance of DMF options. When you have players like Onazi, Mikel and Ndidi. Remember also that Shehu Abdullahi is a DMF.

I wanted him to be at the next U20 WC. His game level is way above his age. People often forget he is just 19.

forgiveness:


If the player has something to offer, they will not escape the vultures(scouts) who are ready to introduce dem to bigger clubs. You see.

forgiveness:


Ajagun own still better, he plays near France.

Netherland still better pass Cypriot league na.

TheGoodJoe:


It hard to do with get physical nature of the game. The game was too rough. Deschamps prepared his young men to go in hard on players.

BascoVanVeli:


He was a very important member of that team.

forgiveness:


If no bi Ighalo and Ideye wey dey fall hand who go even think of Kayode and Adi?

They gave reason to look for better strikers and you look around, Kayode and Adi are doing very well.

So, they deserve it.

Etebor dey play for better league na but I never wan hear Azubuike for now.

Icon4s:


That means players like Carl Ikeme, Sonne Aluko, and Shehu Abdullahi should forget the national team abi?

Show me which player in this current Rohr's squad that plays outside Europe or Africa.

I repeat: I WONDER HOW YOU ANALYSE YOUR OWN FOOTBALL.

terzurum5:

No Kayode and Adi are not playing in fancied leagues so they should be ignored by our Coaches, even though they have been oustanding in their various roles for Club. Abi no be so

Please do not change yur stands

You would rather we continue with Ideye and Ighalo, even if they do not score for Super Eagles as far as they are playing in the best leagues in the World, there is no problem.

forgiveness:


I wonder how you analyse your own Football!

Necessity is the mother of invention. This is the case of Carl Ikeme or are you not aware?

I don't need to explain because you know.

Shehu Abdullahi case is different because we have better players playing in his position currently. How can you not understand that?

Sone Aluko plays for England second division which is even far better than Cypriot first division where Shehu Abdullahi plays. That is too low for the National team. Abeg.

Sone-aluko should continue to be the best in the Championship then he will get a call.

Currently, he is the best in the Championship and that alone will get him noticed....

Your analyses should be devoid of bias judgments.

SHEHU ABDULLAHI SHOULD FORGET THE NATIONAL TEAM JERSEY AND THEY SHOULD STOP GIVEN HIM A CALL.

forgiveness:


Of course, he was privileged to be there to shine but he should work harder to draw the attention of Nigerian fans.

Don't you know that the MLS is among the top 10 best league in the world?

And currently, Kayode club is playing in the Europa and he is doing well against top teams in that competition.

Can that be said of Shehu Abdullahi and his club?

I am still right on track, you know.

Icon4s:

That marriage started from 1994.

Mickael2:


you are talking about necessity but you fail to understand that Shehu is just there for two reasons, first he is a utility player, in every squad you need atleast 3-4 utility players, then we also do not have any right back so he is covering for that position as well. If we get a good RB then we can consider removing him but till then, his own is still a huge necessity

terzurum5:

Oga Forgivess you totally not out of point. But you should know that we need to strike a balance on some of these stands.

Some players may not be in the best leagues, but still got a lot to offer.

Some players are full of promises even when the best leagues are yet to come for their services.

The key point here is what the player has got to offer.

If a player like Aaron Samuel was not called up, we would not have seen the other side of his game.
He was better than the more established Uche and Emenike.

forgiveness:


What you are saying will encourage double standard.

forgiveness:



You are right about the two reasons we need a player but I insist Shehu Abdullahi is the wrong choice for those two reasons.

We have better players that can play three positions too and that is what I am talking about.

terzurum5:

Ok.
Should we drop Ikeme?

forgiveness:


The fact that Keshi had to change Azeez for Gabriel because Mikel yelled at him showed that Keshi was tactically deficient.

If France was rough, why don't you tell your players to feign injury at slightest touch? But no, he wanted to play strength for strength, muscle for muscle.

Mikel Obi self think say em be coach. I swear, he disappoint me after learning he was the one that stopped Azeez from coming on. That is if what you said is true.

MANCHESTER CITY LOANEE NWAKALI, IFEANYI MATTHEW TO BE CONSIDERED FOR EAGLES FRIENDLY






Former Flying Eagles stars Chidiebere Nwakali and Ifeanyi Matthew are being considered for the Super Eagles friendly against Egypt in January.

A mix of untested foreign pros and players from the domestic league are expected to be involved in a January 9 friendly against Egypt in Dubai, officials disclosed.

Coach Gernot Rohr has already mentioned Austria Wien striker Olanrewanju Kayode as one of those who will be given a chance against Egypt, who will then be preparing for the AFCON in Gabon.

It has now been further gathered that Chidi
Nwakali, older brother of Arsenal’s Kelechi
Nwakali, as well as midfielder Ifeanyi Matthew are also in line for this test game.


Nwakali established himself at Norwegian IK Start on loan from Manchester City, while Ifeanyi
Matthew helped to ensure Lillestrom escaped
relegation in the top flight in Norway this past
season with some scintillating displays and goals.

ROHR TO AXE WATFORD STRIKER IGHALO,
KAYODE, OSIMHEN POSSIBLE REPLACEMENTS






Watford striker Odion Ighalo has failed to impress Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr and he could
subsequently be replaced by younger strikers
Olanrewaju Kayode and Victor Osimhen in the
Super Eagles.



Team officials said Ighalo will be dropped
permanently from the Super Eagles as he has
scored just one goal after 11 weeks of action in
the Premier League in England, added to the fact that he has only scored one goal for the Super Eagles in a competitive match.


That goal came in a 2017 AFCON qualifier against Chad in Kaduna in June 2015.

If Kayode Olanrewaju, who has been prolific so far for Austria Wien in all competitions this season, and Victor Osimhen, who is soon to sign a professional deal with Bundesliga side Wolfsburg shine against Egypt in Dubai in a friendly in January, that could well spell the end of Ighalo’s time in the national team.

Rohr has already said he was so impressed with the performance of Osimhen in the build-up to the Tanzania match and will offer him another opportunity to show he is ready for the big stage.

“Rohr has not been impressed with the
performance of Odion Ighalo and Brown Ideye,”
revealed a team official.

“Against Tanzania, Ighalo was wasteful and hardly had two shots on goal, while against Zambia, Ideye was full of endeavour, while others were scoring the goals. On both occasions it took the efforts of supporting strikers for the Eagles to claim maximum points.“

A disappointed Rohr will then consign both Ighalo and Ideye to the bench for the entire 90 minutes as the Super Eagles beat Algeria 3-1 in Uyo last weekend.

terzurum5:


Now why have the vultures not come to snatch Ajagun and others

terzurum5:

If he were a foreign born you would have been at the forefront banging on all fronts for his invitation.

Now that his foundation was homebased, you want us to believe he did not merit his position on the olympics list. That he was just previleged to shine.
You just agreed he actually shone. Yet he needs more hard work and probably vultures from the best leagues in the World to get invited.

Conclusions of this nature will never allow me take some of your comments serious.

Will you bring up some of these points if the dude were a foreign pros?

goldfish80:


If that's the case, he should drop Iheanacho too. He was not impressive against Algeria leading the line.
Yellow journalism at its best.
