Humility017:


yes ooo
I am not scared at all
wit nacho and iwobi spearheading the attack..
I am abit more relaxed...
I pray we get early goals

TheGoodJoe:


I want the better keeper in goal and reports clearly stated Alampasu has been fairing better. My opinion has not changed.

OMANBALA1:


Awaziem is not a tested defender.
I rather have an untested player in the midfield than throw in a green horn in the defense. Its very dangerous.
Assuming Onazi is in the camp would you start Agu ahead of him ?

TheGoodJoe:


Does Awaziem playing for Porto B erase the fact that he has done it on the big stage. My point is simple. Bring them to camp, screen and select the best players. The screening will determine the recent best players.

For now, Awaziem leads and gets my nod.

Icon4s:


You believe Alampasu would be the better or best choice against SA on June 10 2017?

OMANBALA1:


Awaziem is not a tested defender.

TheGoodJoe:


Let Ezenwa and Akpeyi do better than Alampasu in training. If they can not do better than him in training, there is no magic that can make them do better in live games.

Icon4s:


He has done it on the big stage. Is he doing it on the big stage now?

No be you dey hammer on 'recent'?

I get am before no be your property o.

Icon4s:


Training.

Chai!

I comment my reserve.

TheGoodJoe:


I will have the best talent over the most tested untalented player. Why do you think Guardiola was confident throwing a bench warming Pique into the starting line-up of Barcelona?

If Onazi comes to camp and Agu brings more to the team during training, Agu will get my nod.

Football is dynamic. All players must be on their toes to maintain their place in the team.

Icon4s:


You always compare club selection with national team selection. See as I dey shake my head.

TheGoodJoe:


Why do you think Rohr wants the players in camp early, do you think the German tactician is playing on those training pitches? It is serious business to find the best players for the coming games.

TheGoodJoe:


National or club, it still ends with selection. It is a dynamic method of identifying the best in each role.

Icon4s:


So you make team selection strictly from the training camp?

I told you Months ago that Rohr knows at least 9 of the players that will start against SA.

Icon4s:


TheGoodJoe calm down.

Just simply say ' I am tired of seeing some old faces like Onazi, Omeruo and Akpeyi. I want us to TEST newbies like Awaziem, Agu and Alampasu'.

Arsenal Whizzkid Nwakali Expecting Super Eagles Coach Rohr To Ring Him Up




Arsenal wonderkid Kelechi Nwakali is dismayed over his snub by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, and is expecting the German to consider him when he names future national team rosters.

To call a spade a spade, the Nigeria U20 skipper might be shipped out on loan by the Gunners for a second consecutive season because he does not fulfill all the requirements to play in the Premier League.

The 3.5 million euros fee Arsenal paid to snap up the attacking midfielder and his yearly wages are inconsequential for him to be granted a work permit by the Home Office.

''Where we are having problems now is they have not invited Kelechi to the national team, we know how things work in Nigeria,'' Kelechi's adviser Allwell Nwakali told
allnigeriasoccer.com .

''He has been excellent for his team, playing well wherever he is. If they can call him up, the permit process will be so easy for us. I cannot influence his invitation.''

Last season, Leicester City and Watford managed to close the deals for Wilfred Ndidi and Isaac Success respectively despite not playing 75 percent of Super Eagles matches because the two Premier League teams forked out hefty sums plus wages for their services.

shogz89:
I don know the problem you guyz hve with onazi, all I know is onazi is good enough to play SA

TheGoodJoe:


Those 9 are players Rohr can attest will standout in camp when he calls them. They are the best. Just like Ikeme or Mikel. They are the best and will stand out in camp. Iheanacho always does well in camp.

It is not a mystery that reports came of Awaziem performing well in camp and in the recent games, he pulled off good performances. If Awaziem continues with this momentum, he can become one of Rohr's trusted regulars.

They are not regulars by titles but consistent performances in camp. Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Ramos and Busquets were the best. That is why they were regulars. It is difficult to find people performing better than them in camp and games.

Just as it is hard taking a Nigerian striker to camp that will do better than Iheanacho or find a midfielder with more stamina than Etebo.

They must show these in camp to keep their places.

TheGoodJoe:


I hope Iwobi keeps his boots sharp. We need those brilliant passes that day and we need the forwards clinical.

TheGoodJoe:
__________________Alampasu
Shehu________Awaziem_______Ekong________Echiejile
________________Agu___________Ndidi
______________________Etebo
Musa___________________________________Iwobi
____________________Iheanacho

My preferred starting eleven.

TheGoodJoe:


I have said it repeatedly. When it comes to picking starters, recent performance in camp is key. When it comes to assessing the potential of a player, you can use past games to highlight.

When we talk of Iheanacho's quality, we highlight his past performances. When it comes to selection, his current form is camp is key.

E nugo?

do4luv14:


correct line-up,
yours is the best and strongest pick,

I don't know y some of us here keep mentioning AKPEYI for a start,
we keep forgetting that its south Africa we are playing, they already k,ow his weakness wich am sure there coach is planning to exploit


hmmm I tink AKPEYI is a trouble waiting to happen, ROHR shud bench him against bafana,

further more I wud put OMEROU in and remove SHEHu the guy is fasting so is MUSA

Icon4s:


Hahaha TheGoodJoe.

Even before Roger opened any camp whether France or Abuja I believe he knew at least 9 of his would be starters.

Even the newly appointed SA coach by now would have known majority of his starters even without camping.

Humility017:

confidence tells a lot for that lad
I remember his two goals against awka united prior the Zambia tie...of which he later scored against Zambia, I just pray the MOTM and two assist he made against Togo instill more confidence in him
that's why I will want kayode or moses simon start ahead of musa to utilize those chances
musa can come in the second half to outrun the RSA defense...because musa that I know can miss simple chances to score when you least expect

komekn:


Players are not groomed they prove themselves on the battlefield of the football pitch and they are selected.

Mbappe, Lukaku, Rashford, Dele, Dembele, Tega, etc, etc were and or are teenagers who were selected because they DELIVERED OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.

They were never groomed.

Icon4s:


Better replacement for each position?

As if you replace players as easily as you replace bed sheets on your bed.

You think if we have players better than Iheanacho, Moses, Iwobi, Ndidi, Mikel, Echiejile, Etebo, Balogun, Omeruo, Ekong any where in the world we will not field them?

You think the coaching crew are not interested in improving the standards of the team?

What do you think team building is all about?
You wake up and overhaul a whole team when you have crucial matches all because you are searching for better players?

As far as I am concerned I will give this current coaching crew Excellent in terms of scouting for players for the national team. We had crucial games against Zambia and Algeria that could not be toiled with. With the little time he had after his appointment he maximised the established potentials in the team and came out tops.

We organized a friendly against Senegal of which a couple of players had their debutes.

We organized a France camp and so many untested players were featured in the two friendlies.
I am sure from the 3 games we have played this year the coaching crew has assessed a lot of these players and know which ones are ready for the Super Eagles.

Forgiveness I dare you to mention any player or players playing in any league(s) in this Universe that are better than the ones Rohr is likely to start against South Africa.

Icon4s:


Because Omeruo was not called to France camp?

Again I saw your preferred line up and I just laughed. You are starting Agu ahead of Onazi. What if Onazi was also in that France camp?

You have just concluded that Agu will do the job better than Onazi without having Onazi too camp.
You did not give Onazi to prove himself dur

You did not give Onazi opportunity to prove himself during 'drills' so we can select the 'best'.

You just quickly chose Agu. Hahaha.

Icon4s:


God bless you.

You understand.

TheGoodJoe:


Players like Casillas, Pique, Busquets, Ferdinand, Thiago Silva, Marquinos have done it on the big stage in their teens. Why do you feel ours can not do it? Was Omeruo not young when he performed very well at the AFCON?

What makes you think Awaziem can not work his socks off to become among the greats in the game? Is it two heads Nesta and Maldini have? Thank God the likes of Kanu and Finidi did not think that way.

Humility017:


you nailed it regarding akpeyi
moreover.. some south Africans can be uncivilized.. his career might be on the line should Nigeria win the south Africans and him posing a 5 star performance. ...
from all I have been reading RSA are seriously preparing for these match... so akpeyi should sit on the bench...even at that all the goal keepers are even at the same level none exceptional amongst them
