Joebie:
Moses won't be class by your definition, if not for Conte. That's an answer to whether Ebuehi or Shehu will make that first team. So yes, I can't truly say for sure. But like I said earlier. It can still go either way when he makes his full debut for SE. So I reiterate, it's still premature to say he is the RB solution.

For me, both Aina and Nuru are my fantasy LB and RB solution -- until proven.

AIG07:
sure No doubt about his class. But these boys need gradual introduction/integration into the first team.

I prefer them starting in friendlies or coming in as sub. They can get overwhelmed if rushed which can mar their international career and don't forget it is WCQ against Cameroon not some Seychelles in 'Africa'...

tbaba1234:


Moses was one of the key players in the 2013 nations cup win. We Nigerians already know his potential, it was up to him to start showing it consistently.

Joebie:
I hope the 3 lions keep looking away so that dey go "Dominic Lorfa" very soon.

AIG07:
I don't fancy our chances with these Anglo Nigerians. Most, if not all prefer serving the Queen-so no dedication to us even if we later cap them and they most time drag the green white green in muddy waters before accepting our offers after it's down on them that they don't have future/chance with the 3 Lions.

So I say we give call to the interested ones-but let them show it first!

AIG07:
Sir, will you start Aina ahead of shehu if he is cleared to play for us againstCMR?

tbaba1234:


So what? Okocha made his debut against then African Champions, Ivory Coast in Abidjan in a world cup qualifier.

His second game was another competitive game against Algeria in another world cup qualifier in Lagos.

If a player is good enough, he is good enough.

Icon4s:


That's why I said in the absence of no better lethal striker iheanacho it is.

We still have other players that can play behind the main striker. But Iheanacho stands out amongst the strikers.

We need to maximise our strength in the various positions.

Joebie:
I was saying the same about Aina, although he is starting to make a case.

AIG07:
... No doubt this is TheGoodJoe's school of thought.

Jay Jay was a local boy.

Iwobi who has been doing fine in Arsenal colours is still finding it hard to replicate same for us. Despite some share numbers of cap under his belt. You now want us to start one boy for WCQ cos he is a starter for one club for england. Ebuehi who started in a friendly sef commited error and we conceded a penalty and that alone has affected his chances of staking claim in the first team-despite playing week in week out for his club.

Humility017:

please...let me answer this question...
CAPITAL....YES
we Nigerians are just too scared...
do cameroonains eat bottles...?
you are looking down on a player who was privileged to school in one of the best defensive minded team...in the UK..
played and trained with some of the world best defenders....David luiz, Terry, etc....

Humility017:

please....sir let's analyse these scientifically.
the problem wit iwobi perfomance in the colors of SE...is because of him being deployed a winger....the dude has no strength for that....he will play better if played a midfielder(10)
and for ebuehi......I just believe his time will come...the penalty he caused wasn't intentional...the ball mistakenly touched his hand....so don't think...that mistakes..happened to be limiting his chances playing for the SE

CLT123:
No we don't. See how we struggled vs. SA....
Mikel is good, but Iheanacho is better than him in that role. Mikel should be played a little deeper as a CM, and be Nigeria's midfield maestro.

I was initially an advocate for Kelechi to lead the line, but have changed my mind.
He has no goals from the run of play for Nigeria when played as a CF.

Joebie:
Honestly @tbaba1234 I've not watched Aina enough. Please feel free to share some vids. I know that we Nigerians can be very sentimental so when I hear the word class I don't fall for that. But if I see class, I will NEVER ever deny it. I'm already watching an Aina highlight on youtube. Please share more vids here if you can. I am watching with that expectation that I will see class.

Just the other day somebody typed here and gave Oliseh etc titles, but I refused not to respond. But just as I cannot deny that some of our players in the past where the best in their playing position/roles in the world for a considerable short time, that person made it seem they were the best in their positions/roles for at least a large spell of their adult playing career.

Modified: The video I just watched....

That somebody wouldnt happen to be me, would it? Come outright and say it and good luck disputing what I typed. Motivate ur own opinions as well and let us see. Aint no need talking in parables

Icon4s:


So who leads the attack?

CLT123:
Ideye or Ighalo (preferably Ideye since he's quicker and sets up teammates better than Ighalo) until we can find a permanent striker (Tammy Abraham, Osimhen...).

AIG07:
I can count the numbers of time Iwobi has been played out of position in SEs. He is amazing whenever he plays... But there is still this african football that is missing in his game. Don't you wonder why he is easily dispossesed? The culture is missing.

On Ebuehi, why hasn't rohr handed him an official debut?

Finally I see these (foreign guys) 'atohunrinwa' to be more useful against non african opponents.

Lucque:
Has history not proven to us DAT African teams and their physical way of playing is only good wen playing other African opponents?... Weneva African teams go against d tactically clever European, or south american teams they quickly realise DAT football is all abt brain, skill and just a little physicality... Let's look towards building a team DAT can play good football and not just a pack of muscle heads Dats only know how to out muscle opponents....unless world dominance is not in our plans for our team...

I didn't hear of Watfors besides some transfer activities. Honestly were there pre-season games involving them? Let me follow them now on Twitter.
