abeg, we are used to Musa and his flash in the pan moments, funny enough they always come with two goals. No be new wife cause am, after all, he had better luck with the old one.

Next game, he will return to his usual okada without control self

safarigirl:
of.course Musa will start in the absence of VicMo, when VicMo returns, he shall return to the bench.

Calabar girls are myth, not legend

In the event that the desirable is not available then the available becomes desirable. That is how I sum up Omeruo.

He played a season for Middlesbrough in the championship he was not outstanding.

If you think he is the best we have? And if that is the best we have well then it's not good enough. We really need to look for somebody else.

I would say Dominic Iorfa is considerably better once his contract long term is sorted out he will play for Nigeria. His Dad is just playing the game can't openly commit to Nigeria just yet otherwise his value will drop.

I am looking long term, but we need to have a clear objective methodology based on performance for team selection.

That's an assumption without track record justification.

If Rohr likes him he plays full stop even if he plays in Wales ranked number 50 in Europes.

If Osimhen after playing 10 minutes of football in a team at the bottom of Bundesliga can be invited. Then structureed selection methodology doesn't exist and subjectivity has overcome objectivity.

Then again some may say the end justifies the means. Long term that does not inspire players to play for the SE if it is perceived that objectivity and performance are not the main consideration.

Joebie:
Thank you. The context is SE. Please can you list the classy ones in our fold?

TheGoodJoe:
Gernot Rohr deserves full praise for his intuition and vision he showed when it came to identifying future talents of the Super Eagles.

A clear example is Awaziem who Rohr invited earlier, had a look in and was tipped as a promising key player of the side. In recent games, the young man showed exceptional quality. Both in training and during games.

At this time, it is riskier banking on Omeruo in the name of experience instead of quality shown in training and recent games.

If Rohr gives Awaziem the nod, he has my full blessings. As the days goes by, I get impressed by the vision of the Super Eagles team manager.

I hope Alampasu keeps giving 100% in training. He might never know when the German tactician will give him a nod.

Sorry for quoting you! But you really gonna play a 19 year old in front of wat..like 40000 screaming fans in a crucial qualifier with only just one international cap n still learning the rudiments of the game over one with experience from youth sides to national team n lots of cap in club football? Not for me..lolz...except he is a nesta or maldini or ramos..or is he? We are not rohr tho..so we have to wait nd see

eterisan:
And for those thinking omeruo will play right back..I can only but smile...please look at the list again we got only 3 central defenders there..shehu has d rb spot on lock down..ebuehi as back up..only d goalkeeper spot m not sure off but I guess we have
Akpeyi
Shehu ekong omeruo echeijile
Ndidi onazi
Etebo
Musa iheanacho iwobi
That is d team I feel rohr will play against sa..barring any last hiccups

Shehu and Musa will be fasting, that might reduce the number of minutes the coach will give them. I do not expect either to start.

AIG07:
they can start and subed in the second half. Between 60-65 mins.

In my opinion, that is a wastage of two subs and reduces the coach's flexibility to make tactical changes.

Joebie:
You will have to pay to be in my classroom if that's what you are asking.

But if you are trying to be sarcastic, pretend you never read the post. Somebody is learning

AIG07:
with Shehu(a defender) and Musa(a forward) coming out there is more than enough room for tactical changes depending on the coach's approach to the game...

*MODIFIED*
But If rohr feels the fasting will affect their play. He can decide to star t Kayode ahead of Musa and therefore playing Nacho behind him. Which I'll love to see.

Something like this.
**Iwobi-Iheanacho-Etebo**
**Kayode**

But for Shehu, he seems to be a sure starter cos Ebuehi will be a big gamble if thrown into the fray from the blast of the whistle or better still Rohr playing ndidi there out of position which I don't see happening in the absence of J. Mikel.

Meaning Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Mali and Co will not honor their matches?

Was it not also the 'fasting' Musa that scored a brace against Togo?

tbaba1234:


Ebuehi or Awaziem will be fine.

Awaziem first game for Porto was against Benfica, one of the biggest games of the season and he had a Motm performance. He will be fine if started.

Ebuehi has played regularly this year in big stadiums. He will also be fine.

Once they get passed the early jitters, they will be OK.

tbaba1234:


Awaziem played a full season with Porto the season before last. He is used to big stadiums. The only reason, he played more for Porto B this year was the injury crisis in defense faced by Porto B. He will be fine if drafted to play.

Icon4s:


Awaziem never made match day squad each time Omeruo and Balogun were in camp.

What makes you feel Awaziem will out perform Omeruo in training?

If you say it is riskier fielding Omeruo then it is 'riskiest' fielding an Awaziem who has never been involved in any competitive international match.
