My perspective is not hidden. I am more interested with what goes on on the training field. Rohr took Osimhen to the training field and was impressed with what he saw. The training field is the best frontier for selection.

goldfish80:


That means Oshimhen was invited because of his form in training some 8 months ago.
How you're making a fist of this arguement beggars belief. But I'm not surprised, your antecedent and disdane for game time is well documented.
I'd be crazy to expect anything less from you.

AIG07:
i'm talking about players who got Amazing touch, techniques, skills(not necessarily a show boater), players who control d tempo of the game, players others look up too for inspiration... Players in the mould of Zidane, pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta, our own Jay Jay etc. This are the kind of players they system is wiping out gradually... Even your pastore does not belong to this era. He was 27 the last time I checked his age. The last kind of their generation are been already aging. Even Fabregas too don de attest to am se no room for their type again...

Icon4s:


He develops some ideologies just to channel and defend players he likes.

He does not want to hear game time because of Iheanacho. He does not want to hear experience because of Alampasu and Awaziem.

That guy.

South Africa Appoints New Captain, Coach Boast – Our Game Plan Will Shock Nigeria

Coach of the South Africa national team Stuart Baxter has replaced Itumeleng Khune as the captain of the team ahead of their AFCON 2019 Qualifiers against Nigeria in Uyo on Saturday.

Baxter named former South Africa U-17,21, and 23 defence hardman Thulani “Tyson” Hlatshwayo who plays for newly crowned PSL Champions Bidvest Wits.

Hlatshwayo earned the nickname Tyson due to his uncompromising way of ‎defending especially his bravery in tackles and aerial duels right from his days as a youth international for South Africa.

Shortly after naming Hlatshwayo as captain Baxter boast that his wards will give the Nigerians a tough time during this weekend game in Uyo. The coach said they have done their homework on the Nigerian team and perfected their own game plan.

“We need a positive result in Nigeria and we have capabilities to hurt them,” he said. “When we get there, we should be ready. There is no perfect world but I have positive belief.

“We are going to be a big nuisance to them; we want to be a nightmare they don’t want. I respect Nigeria but we are not going there to make up the numbers”, Baxter said.

You wan compare Osimhen and co situation with those ones?

goldfish80:


So Osimhen was invited to camp because of what Rohr saw of him last year?
He was invited on the back of his form in training last year?

This is exactly the reason why I said some players have cult followership on this thread.
At the mention of the name Osimhen, common sense fly out of the window.

goldfish80:

Those invites haven't been coming on a platter of gold. Kayode have had to work twice as hard as anyone to get any form of attention.



Speaking to LIB, he said:
'For a long time now, I have not been invited to the National Team, maybe due to politics'
"But I know very soon, Coach Rohr would look in my direction because my position remains vacant.
I'm ready to score for Nigeria, I am ready to score for Rohr but all can come through only if I am invited.
Some people said I play in a far league, some said I play in the cold, some said I play in Austria and Austria is not English premier league , but I will tell you, football in La-Liga is the same in Austria.
I played in the Europa league last season, so what experience do i need again, I have represented Nigeria at youth levels and my mates like Onazi , and Omeruo are the ones playing currently for now.''

Ayaaaa! Chai! There's God ooooooo!

Some have to work ×5 while some get it on a plata of gold with free allowances on top. There's God ooooooo!

No wonder I keep hearing the bias and deceitful advice 'let him work harder (×20 and until he grows grey hair) he will be noticed' while others are getting called on a plata of gold. Chai! There's God ooooooo.

Firstly, do you know Rohr or rather you know of him

Where you on the training ground with,Rohr to assume he created sparks and fireworks

Rohr decided, that's an assumption is that what he Rohr told you

You make very wide speculative assumptions based on your perception it seems.

That's how you Idolised Pep without underpinning rationale. You are doing the same again consider your deductions what are they based on.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not develop ideologies. I study and you can find out that they make big sense. A good example is Osimhen's case. When I was hammering about training above game time, people argued. Today, Rohr is doing precisely that.

Someone like you should see that I was right but you decide to bury your head from the fact right in front of your eyes.

Another example is how you argued against Rohr checking on Oshaniwa. At the end, Rohr did precisely what I said. Invited him to camp, neglecting the lack of game time and seeing for himself if Oshaniwa was still good enough.

If Rohr is impressed with Osimhen's form in training, all those game time talk is nothing but Super Story. What matters is those who stand out in camp. Not historical data.

forgiveness:


Is that not why some people said 'that is why is kind(Onigbinde) will never coach the national team?

TheGoodJoe:


Yes. Rohr said he did not invite him again because of he did not want a young player suffering from rejections. Not that the boy was not impressive. Rohr invited him and was not disappointed which meant him keeping his place in camp. The question you should ask yourself is that, if game time was all that, why did Osimhen keep his place in camp, get a chance for a debut while regular game time players got kicked out?

Kog45:
Yea i read a comment on Onigbinde sometimes ago on this thread and i was wondering coz he was tagged a tribalism man for taken Opadiran to world cup

A lot forget that d same Onigbinde made young Stephen Keshi his captain in Afcon 84 over Muda Lawal a yoruba man who was making 5th Afcon appearance at Afcon 84.

Good Rohr is not a Ibo man,he could have been tagged a tribalism for inviting Osimieh to camp.

komekn:


So what about those who stand out in thier teams proven, tested and established top consistent performers in top level teams and league.

They should be left aside denied opportunity, excluded until Rohr decides according to his own self based and self justified unit of measurement that they are worthy.

That's defies reasoning.

goldfish80:

Osimhen is not Igbo.

eterisan:
On the Osihmen debate! Here is my take. Please before you criticize Rohr's decision put yourself in his shoes. This is what I feel he is doing. He is building the team for the now with an eye on the future. Osihmen is our 3rd choice striker now n my guess is that slot is reserved for our best youth team striker. Awoniyi and orji will come to mind but osihmen is at a higher playing level than both coupled with the fact that he is the poster boy of the nff thus he will always get the call up to train with the team. That is what he is there for..for drills..it is a no brainer. You can't call up an ideye or ighalo or a newbie to sit as 3rd choice striker in a lone striker system when you are still running the rule over a top potential like osihmen. Same idea goes for alampasu and awaziem. They are been eased into d nt environment gently. So please do not expect them to start yet. I just love this Rohr.
For the ajagun matter I got no comments abeg. That one na mumu debate. You want to call up an old man to replace who? Who is he better than? Keshi 2014 all over again abi? You want questionable team selections abi? Rohr has a master plan for Nigeria nd he will implement to the fullest. Sorry if you can't see it. You go just they shout up nd down. It won't change anything.

Nigeria/South Africa: Agu Clears Air Over Fasting, Targets Win Against South Africa

Super Eagles goalkeeper coach Alloy Agu has targeted three points in Saturday's game against South Africa that would be a huge step in their bid to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in six years.

The national team returned to the country at the weekend from France, where they played Corsica and Togo in practice matches.

"A lot is expected of the Super Eagles against Bafana Bafana and we won't disappoint," said Alloy Agu to Brila FM.

"We're on course with the goalkeeping department. Against Corsica we were on holiday. Togo kept them busy.

"I don't think there's any problem in the Super Eagles over fasting. Since my time we've had players observing it."

Alloy Agu ran the rule over Ikechukwu Ezenwa (FC Ifeanyi Ubah) and Dele Alampasu (CD Feirense) during the training camp in France but made room for Chippa United's Daniel Akpeyi when the roster was announced last week, for reasons everyone is aware of.
