Joebie: what you just said makes absolutely zero sense. Musa was disrespected, I don't know why you are trying to go around it, what Rohr did wasn't fair. We had Mikel, a full time bench warmer at Chelsea as our main captain, so why should Rohr change the post for Musa? That's bad, as simple as that 6 Likes |

Mickael2: Please, when did Musa join the Super Eagles and when did Echiejile join? *modified* On what grounds did anyone say Musa deserves the captain arm band? Echiejile is older than him in Tue team, so whybarw you guys not fighting for Echiejile? How can Elderson be in that team and Musa is collecting arm band and you people are yarning about respect. Respect to who abeg? Elderson made his debut in 2009 and Musa made his in 2010, if Captaincy is based on years in the team, then by all means, Echiejile ought to get that band over Musa Or is it by caps? Then Musa can get the band, he has 7 more caps than Elderson.... Anyway, like i said before, Musa does not have captain qualities IMO....i just would have prefered Echiejile, Onazi was sha not it 1 Like |

safarigirl: Is Neymar the oldest person in the Selecao? But he is their captain, you don't even understand the bone of contention and you are here misyarning. Rohr said he removed Musa because he is a bench warmer, Mikel used to be a bench warmer but he wasn't removed, so that's hypocritical of him. Had it been that he said that he removed him because he isn't the oldest player there then we will all understand, not that lame excuse. Ok so is Onazi older than Musa and Echejile? So why isn't Musa Echejile's assistant? 5 Likes |

Mickael2:There is no easy way to tell Musa that he is not a captain material. Though Mikel was a bench warmer in Chelsea, he was a super regular in the Eagles. Musa is a benchwarmer in Leicester, he is also going to be a benchwarmer in this new-look Eagles. The earlier we accept this the better. There are at least 3 players that can take his place. Even Onazi should watch his back, but at least he's safer than Musa in the Eagles and he is very regular in his club. 2 Likes |

Mickael2:o, if we want to use Brazil's method by giving captaincy to the best performing player, then make we dash Kelechi or Leon Balogun in the absence of Mikel, abi? Did you not see where I said they should not have given Onazi? Abi you skipped that part ni? Did Rohr tell you he removed him because of that or a journalist said Rohr said? You just dey talk like say you follow Rohr talk, he come give you exclusive information I repeat, if we want to vex on behalf of anybody, vex for Echiejile, not Musa. 1 Like 1 Share |

@joseph1013, thank you o. Musa for start match if Moses dey? He's neither a club regular nor a starter in the Super Eagles, na him you wan compare to Neymar. Neymar is more than Mikel to Brazil, if Neymar isn't in that Brazilian team, things will fall apart.

You won't say what I've said made zero sense if you got my point 1. It's not about being a benchwarmer. The idea that Mikel did not get time at Chelsea was not attributed to lack of quality or form. His performances at the Olympics and for SE is a testimony to that. 2. Musa situation at Leicester is different. He gets playing time but is not measuring up. Read my comments again. If you can truly comprehend you will get the point im making has nothing to do with bench warming . Let me help you summarize it. Rohr is just finding an excuse because he foresees Musa Musa will lose his place in the team completely. As long as you are in top shape, let's put all egos aside. Let the best always be in the team. We want results. That's what we hired him for. Mickael2: |

Musa should hold his head up, he did the right thing by giving up the band. Now he can be free to be himself. U don't have to be a captain to be a leader, Rooney and Iniesta come in late in matches sometimes and don't even look for their band, what is most important is their team winning. Even as a child I would have rather scored the winning goal than be the captain lifting the cup, abi after he lift am me i no go snap my own picture? lol. |

Mickael2: My brother this is simply the dirty part of the game, the part that will always divide the fans. The best thing is to accept that we gave power to the coach to make decisions and that is what he is doing. I also don't fancy the way it was handled and we can just hope Rohr learns from this going into the future. 2 Likes |

Joebie: Then look for a better excuse. I know Musa will lose his place but telling him he lost his captainship because of lack of playing time is not fair to him. There were other excuses, like you are not old enough, or some coaches just like Midfielders and defenders as their captains, something that makes sense except that bench warming part. Sorry I said you said nonsense, but it just isn't fair to Musa |

safarigirl: How is Kelechi even in the picture if we want to give it to the best performing player? you didn't mention Ndidi, Ekong, Etebo, Leon, even Omeruo, all these players have performed better than him in the last two-three games, ok maybe two games for Omeruo alone. Anyways, my point is that Onazi was made captain before Musa, talking about seniority Musa pass am, so what's your point? You know that Rohr was wrong by choosing Onazi so why are you including Echejile now? Was Echejile the captain of the game. Let's not dwell on this sha, Musa like every random aboki is a humble dude, that's what I love about him. He even tied someone's lace for him |

BascoVanVeli: he took it the right way sha, if he can reinvent himself as a striker or as a SS then I'd love to see Musa around. On his day, Zabaleta had no chance against him, prime Zabaleta. I don't know but he caused it sha, going to Leicester was a bad move all along, go back to Russia now or some other EPl team, get back on track and Rohr will beg you to take back the armband |

Nigeria needs good full backs and wing backs for starters and back up option and omeruo should go back to bench CB at least to create competition between awaziem and agbo for the last spot. The Cameroonian team like to sit back if the opponent's plays possession football and try to hit on the counter they have fast strong and intelligent players, they don't try to wrestle possesion, we need to attack on all fours and defend enmass when needed, WelI thank God for the kind of competition we have in the attack and midfielders as well. I think Musa s time as a winger is over he should be considered as a back up CF he can chase balls over the top from ndidi and finish them, he is never going to deliver that perfect cross as a winger If I was rohr I will start like this C.Ikeme Shehu Balogun Ekong Madu Ndidi Etebo Mikel Iwobi Iheanacho V.Moses Subs I.

safarigirl: In that regard there is no conceptual framework in existence to underpin the selection or form to justify captaincy selection in the Eagles. With Brazil Neymar has performed fantastically exceptional for club and country he has been just the best. You cannot argue with his stats for club and country he essentially picks himself. Considering his club is arguably the best club in the world. None of the current crop of players in the Eagles stands out beyond Mikel. Longevity is not necessarily a sign of excellence and age is not always equated to wisdom. I actually have no idea who we could pick as captain. |

From the Super Eagles clips that I have seen over the last few years, Onazi appears to be a natural leader of the team after Mikel. You can see that he is well respected. Perhaps, rohr could have handled it better but I fear that he might have started looking beyond Musa. There would have been no easy way to do it. 1 Like |
