Kayode on standby at least. Musa is trusted, despite poor current stats. There is always other factors to consider. I'm sure Rohr will come out to defend his list. But overall, I'm satisfied. I'm working on my own starting list. Can definitely work with this list considering the opposition.


Humility017:

to be honest wit u bro...
I see kayode as one who can offer more to Africa football compare to ighalo....
he should have been invited....

My brother Rohr goofed if big time by not inviting kayode.A versatile forward who can play anywhere across the front line, A striker who can drop deep and contribute to the teams build up play, A forward who can burn cameroon's with his pace on the counter and with his dribbling skill and create chances for the likes of Moses is not invited?Even if he doesnt start he can be a impact sub in the second half but Rohr thinks otherwise.
if Victor Moses is there, I honestly don't see the need for Kayode undecided, all these ones about pace and dribbling on counter, that's Musa's forte.

The list is fine IMO, it's not like we are missing one prolific goal scorer.

I understand musa inclusion...the dude has something unique rarely any players have...in the current eagles set up...
he is a perfect sub...when a team wanna win or play widefrom the wings....
I don't have any problem wit his inclusion...but ighalo I fault...
I will prefer kayode to him....anyway that's my opinion though.

But the question is why has Daniel not played all this while? Why has Akpeyi not also played all this while?
When it comes to the GK position, who gets the first chance to be in goal has the advantage as long as they are average. GKs are not replaced easily. So what am I saying. The likes of Akpeyi should have not been given the first chance due to what they did in the past. If I were Rohr, on resumption, I will start with their current stats at club level. From there I will pick my best 3. If this was done some of these players would never have gotten a recall to SE. These are average keepers.


There is no need for using club stats. Just get a quality goalkeeper trainer, screen them and select the best. When once the keeper is good, with time quality clubs will come for him. It is Rohr's job to identify the best.

The once having regular shirts might not be as good as the one on the bench.

Dear...how are you so sure of that Israeli based guy attacking prowess...
I once watched his game...I wasn't it too impressed though considering his missed chances...
anyway let's be hopefully he can do another Aaron Samuel on us...
and for ighalo...he has never impressed me on the eagles shirt...except the goal he scored in Brussels last time we played the Cameroonians in a friendly

komekn:


Disagree Thierry Henry was 21 when he came to Arsenal as right winger. But with Wenger mentoring him he became one of the best strikers in the World. He learned how to take free kicks with his left thats how much he improved.


Thierry Henry could play with his left. Learning how to play freekicks with his weaker foot is not the same as learning how to use a foot you hardly use. Nacho should perfect his left than bothering with learning to use his right.

Here we go again...

We should be prepared to see Akpeyi in goal.

Kenneth has fallen in the pecking order.

J. Mikel the general is back from chi-land.

Ighalo is back-it's now or never.

Hmmm... Kayode is missing-Rohr decides.

Moses Simon again?-full of running and dribbling but poor crossing same story goes for his twin brother Musa.

Hope our defenders stay fit.

Good list by the way.

The burden and pressure will be too much on Moses and you know his own case is special attention from the cameroonians,they can even manmark him but with kayode we form a fluid attacking front three which can interchange positions and escape special attentions from their defenders.Musa will be a second half sub IMO

I disagree, Aina made the team of the week consecutively on whoscored.com in the first two rounds of games.

He is quality. I however think, that he is better going forward than defending.

Maribor 1-0 Beer Sheva: Away Goal Rule Send Nwakaeme and Ogu Packing
Add Comment 4 mins ago by SpotKik Taker 3 Views

Super Eagles invitees, Anthony Nwakame and John Ogu have been knocked out with Beer Sheva by Slovenian club, Maribor at the UEFA Champions League Play-off.

Beer Sheva had the advantage going into the 2nd leg tie, having won the first leg 2-1. They needed to hold on to their aggregate lead or at least score an away goal to strengthen their chances of going through to the Champions League group phase. However, much to the delight of the home fans, Slovenian left-back Mitja Viler, rattled in a precise pass about 15 yards out in the 15th minute , leaving Beer Sheva goalie, Guy Haimov helpless.

Anthony Nwakaeme and John Ogu fought to pull Beer Sheva level all match long. At the dot of 90 minutes Nwakaeme leaped highest in an attempt to connect a corner kick in the penalty area, and produced a promising goal-bound header towards the right side of the goal, but Jasmin Handanovic pulled off a decent save to deny him.

Maribo go through with final scores at 2-2 aggregate, having scored a goal away.

Both Nwakaeme and Ogu, who were just called up by Nigeria for World Cup qualification, featured from start to finish. They will now have to focus on their last league match when they travel to Macabi Haifa Sunday, before they head to Nigeria to take on Cameroon.

Oga calm down.. it is a cup game away from home. Those are often very tough and tricky.

It is great that Musa scored and played 90 mins..

Looking at the list based on what we have, the 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 looks suitable. Considering the strenght of our oposition is another factor. But we are deficient at the back, full back wise.
if Aina is better going forward I would rather have him at LWB in aforementioned formations. Why not Ogu, Ekong and Balogun as our 3 center backs? Just thinking

Why worry if we have replacements? SE is for men, not boys. You either sit up, or be forgotten. If you are not playing for your club or you have poor stats, get ready to be forgotten. I think that's how it should be. No sentiments.

That's one thing about Goal Keeping. But I'd rather have a keeper who is busy from week to week.

..................................................Nwakeme(CF)
.S. Moses(LMF).................Iheanacho(AMF).................V. Moses(RMF)
................................................................Mikel(CMF)
............................................Ndidi(DMF)
......Echiejile(LB).....................................................................Aina(RB)
.........................Balogun(CB)....................Ekong(CB)
...................................................Alampasu(GK)

My preliminary starting eleven. There will be fluctuations in my list as camping reports filter in. Nwakeme got the nod ahead of Ighalo because of his skills and pace which I feel is a critical factor to break down the Camerounians.

S. Moses also breaks in over Iwobi based on the same criteria. He just needs to focus on working with his team mates. Iwobi needs to do lots of stamina training if he is to make it with the team. Based on stamina, speed and skills, Simon gets the nod.

Aina comes in based on his training with Chelsea and getting the nod to play under Conte. That is a big plus.

Alampasu gets my nod due to previous reports of his performance in camp. But, Ezenwa is a huge challenge.

Onazi dropped because of the gaps he left in the last game.
