forgiveness: Bc Etebo reported late to camp and may still be suffering from jet lag. Etebo was even supposed to start if he had arrived camp early enough like others. 4 Likes |

forgiveness: countless. I used to watch their games because of Hernanez who later moved to Inter. I continued watching their matches even after he left because of Klose but then I lost interest later on 1 Like |

Loollll.... understand his question... he said a player who can stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Alli.... Mikel is not shoulder to shoulder with Alli... He is heads and Shoulders above Alli..... #fact So Mikel shouldn't even come up at all.... Alli dreams to have Mikel's kinda career.... pyrex23: 4 Likes |

Icon4s: Akpeyi looked shaky to me when I watched him play. Reports said he was jittery against Senegal. If Emma Daniel was a better choice in the Olympics, there is no way Akpeyi can be the better reserve Goalkeeper. I am definitely not confident with him in goal. Looked amateurish in the goal conceded and showed same sign in his other game for the Super Eagles. He can pass though. |

forgiveness: it wasn't up to two, and the chances came through Ndidi. One was a cross field pass that set Musa on his way(probably a Leicester routine). But then I do not understand your point 1 Like |

forgiveness: Essien played a lot as a box-to-box midfielder but he was not the type of player you will say controls the midfield. Yaya Toure played as a box-to-box midfielder but I criticised his ability to control the midfield. Although he is reformed under Guardiola. 1 Like |

forgiveness: Go back to what I said, I said he was PRIMARILY deployed as a DMF, that means his main position was as a DMF. He played as a box to box CMF once in a while and even in those games he was the destroyer kinda CMF, and in many of those games he came in as a sub to sure up the game, you can't even describe that as a CMF. AMF?! No way!!! It was from you that I learnt that he played as an AMF during HIS DAYS IN THEIR ACADEMY OR SO. 1 Like |

@bolded.... looooollllll Anyway shaa.... Rohr knows what he is doing I believe.... Ofcos he knows he needs to blood in a young goalie but that isn't his immediate priority right now.... right now it is the Russia 2018 ticket and the Cameroun 2019 ticket.... He has his eyes on Qatar 2022 but what is really before him is Russia 2018 and he is very much focused on that...... His team is young and vibrant.... he is inviting young players that he knows will have immediate impact and not take too much time to blend in.... example is Success Isaac... I think we should just allow this man to work.... he hasn't put a foot wrong so far.... Icon4s: |

SharpJoe:At Standard Liege he was a defender. I believe you watched a lot of Standard liege games to have seen him. For the Flying Eagles, which I witnessed some of their games live at the stadium. At no point did Yobo play in defence. Just like a Warri wolves fan would have been surprised seeing Etebor play as a DM against Algeria. Players play different roles for club and country in some cases. |

pyrex23: Mikel! .. Mikel Obi concealed his talent at Chelsea and restricted himself to the DMF role with his trade mark sideways pass and short pass. Nevertheless, we Nigerians know he is good but as a DMF he can never be rated above an attacking midfielder in this era. Is he rated highly than Griezmaan or anything attacking midfielders?.. The world rates AMF and attackers than DMF nowadays. Therefore, in the world scale, Ali will be.... |

Well..... he didn't specify.... He simply asked, who in the super eagles can stand shoulder to shoulder with Alli..... Me I just park because I could see one already above Alli.... Iwobi can be arguably said to be on Alli's level..... I won't call Nacho because of his bench situation at City and heck... I am tempted to call Ndidi sef.... but only because he is still new in England.... Oga Forgiveness bia biko.... just leave the goalposts as them dey ooo... no shift am... looollll Mickael2: 1 Like |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by goldfish80(m): 3:09pm On Mar 25, 2017 |
SharpJoe:We cannot call a standard liege player to play in the attack but we can call Etebor to play as a DM? We can call Chelsea's Dm to play AMf, we can call Chelsea's wing back to play as an out and out winger. Football is dynamic. Funny enough you stated earlier that Yobo started as a striker at the start of his career. What makes you think the local coaches still didn't see him as a player who could offer something in an uncoordinated attack we presented in that tourney? Why didn't the screen shot I posted support your claim Disu stocked up our defence with an extra defender to protect the lead? Why didn't the picture show we had 5 players at the back? Is Yobo transparent that he could not be seen in the defence but he was in the defence? Is he a ghost? |

SharpJoe: Yea i was thinking along those lines, remember when Iheanacho got selected to train against Argentina? We have guys who represent some London clubs, maybe if they could ask their clubs to lend an hand. Btw, Victor Moses owes Rohr one, he should be the one asking Conte for some fringe players and I might be moving to fast but if we get say Chelsea reserves we could get to see Ola in action against African competition. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: No way I talk down my Mikel but the obvious is, Mikel will not be rated above AMF and attacker in this era. Everybody is taking about Drogba and Lampard at Chelsea but they have forgotten without Mikel no champions League trophy. You can see my point. 1 Like |
