How has Nwakaeme proved himself at a higher stage than Kayode??

Mickael2:


same question I have in mind

forgiveness:


na dis kind mumu talk no gree me come here. If you ask him how Nwakeame played at the higher level than Kayode na Tribalism will go commot for em mouth.

Icon4s:


Who is saying the squad was selected based on past glory?

And how do you define past Glory in this context?

Humility017:

please just leave him...
the side obviously want more of his tribal men in the SE.....
had it been rohr was a Nigerian....he would have been called a tribalist by now

Joebie:
UEFA league qualification is a higher stage than the domestic league. Nwakaeme is the best player in Israel just a Kayode was voted the best in Austria. I only made a statement of fact. CAF champions league is a higher stage than the domestic league -- bringing it home.

Joebie:
Recent national team stats Nko? If we keep changing our team based on players most recent matches at club level, will we have a team?

Kog45:
My man don't let us turn this thread to political thread where they based their comments on tribal,this is football section and let us talk football,though we have a lot of comments that have tribal traits but only people with third eyes knows that and that should not derail d thread.

Humility017:

if there should be any mumu talk...
just re-read your write ups
and tell which is mumu and irrational talk.
your stance regarding comparing nacho wit awoniyi should prove that....

tbaba1234:


What domestic league? Was Kayode not outstanding in the Europa league? How is UEFA league qualification greater than the Europa league??

Kog45:
I believe u have been following this game for so long and it's simple 80% of this present squad w make d team to Russia,only special talent w gate crash into d team just like d way Olishe,Amuneke make d US 94 team during qualifier and Chidi Nwanu,Mike Emenalo break into d main team by displaced Isaac Semitone and Nduka Ugbade respectively after Tunisia 94 Afcon.

Truly,goalkeeping aspect is for grab for anybody coz d opportunity is open,Ikeme is down,Enyeama coming back look dicey, Akpeyi yet to prove is equal to d task.

RB,I see Ola Aina as d answer but need to wait for his debut game but he has every thing to claim d RB,Echiejele at LB,well I can say much but a good player in d mould of Aina w be an answer,though Echiejele still has d experience.

The CB is okay with d pair of Balogun and Ekong,hope player like Awaziem can raise his game and Omeruo can regain his form but any good rookie can break into this team.

D midfield is saturated with a lot of options either in DM,CM,AM with player like Mikel,Ndidi,Onazi,Ogu,Agu,Etebor,Iwobi,Esiti etc so it w take a rare gem to break into this team,also attacks is full of options with d likes of Nacho, Ighalo,Musa,Vic Moses,it w take special talent to displace this guys.

How did Nwakeame proved himself at higer stage than Kayode? Humility017 answer na Tribalism.... Is that not mumunism?

If you have better answers than that den share. Don't pollute dis thread with ya dirty tribalism answers. thanks

forgiveness:



scroll and read comments that supposed Musa, Onazi and Simon Moses were included based on past glory.

Icon4s:


Yeah. No coach likes changing a winning team.

If this team can manage to squeeze through to Russia from this kind of group then you'll agree with me that many of them would be difficult to displace.

You are very right about the defensive setup and the prospects we have. Same goes for the midfield.

It will really take exceptional talents to break in.

Talking about that RB position many here thought Tyrone Ebuehi would easily walk into that position with the kind of stats and ratings we were seeing here but Lo and behold he is not ready.
I would also want Rohr to have a good assessment of Aina. Shehu is not a natural RB so I would want to see a natural RB in that position in the fore-seeable future.

However if the young RBs are not ready then Shehu should continue in that position.

For that midfield it would be difficult for a young/newbie to break in. Hopes were high on Kelechi Nwakali. But he seem not to be ready. Someone like Azubuike Okechukwu needs to be more than convincing to return to the Super Eagles.

For the wing forwards position, so many names are flying: Henry Onyekuru, Samuel Kalu, Denis Bonaventure, Peter Olayinka. This season would determine which of them would be given a chance to fight for a position. The likes of V. Moses, Alex Iwobi, And Simon Moses are definitely ahead. Even Ahmed Musa due to experience. Baring Injuries I expect V. Moses and Alex Iwobi to make it to Russia. Ahmed Musa, and Simon would have up there games to remain above those Rookies who are already knocking on the door.

For our attack, a lot depends on Iheanacho's performance at Leicester this season. Rohr plays a lone striker. If iheanacho gets it right at Leicester he seals that CF position. Else he throws it open for even Rookies like Osimhen, Awoniyi and Kingsley Michael to get a look in.

Joebie:
I hope you are being sarcastic again. Nwakaeme has prooved his mettle at a higher stage than Kayode. Iheanacho has always been better than Awoniyi.

Kog45:
Nwakaeme better than Kayode?champions league abi,No my man that should not be d yardstick,hope u remember a player called Mike Obiku of feyenord in d 90s,this guy was a bomb but still find it difficult to displace Yekini or even get a call up to displace Siasia or Amokachie,also Richard Owubokiri of Boavista who had it so good in Europe but couldn't make it in d national team,hope u remember Chris Ohenhen.

I'm not saying Kayode is better than Nwakaeme vice versa but basing your argument on champions league play off,I w never accept that

On Awoniyi and Nacho we should not go into that coz they belong to different class, Nacho is on another level that I believe Awoniyi is aspiring to be,so case close.

Humility017:

it seems....you lack manners.
just don't wanna come to your level...these evening...
it's like you're pained so pained...
let me leave rest

Joebie:
By domestic league, I meant their performances at their respective domestic league -- Austria and Israel.
But Kayode was invited before now. Did he get invited immediately? No!.. UEFA champions league qualification just happened. I'm sure about Nwakaeme, who just proved his mettle at the UEFA league qualification. He performed. He scored breathtaking goals. That cannot be ignored. I didn't watch Kayode at the Europa league. Can you tell us how he performed.

tbaba1234:


Kayode was not invited because according to Rohr, he has hardly played in pre season, meaning his fitness was not yet there.

forgiveness:


hahahhhahhhahha! I no talk am say he will not tell how Nwakaeme has played at the higher stage than Kayode? Na manner em come dey lecture now. Bhahahahahahaha!

Mister man, I am calm and cool but at the same time .....i can treat you the way you approach..... take ya time ooooo.

Joebie:
take note.. I said proved his mettle at a higher stage than Kayode -- Champions League qualification. He did not just play at a higher stage. but proved his mettle as well. That's an advantage over Kayode. And that is a fact.

Humility017:

stop playing to the galary....just say you want more of your tribal men in the SE and we all will understand...as simple as that
you mean same awoniyi who is just finding his place now.....
even in that Belgium league....nacho is far ahead....very far.

Joebie:
I know say you sabi English o.. I never even use that word "better" since.. no be una they suspect foul play say Nwakaeme was invited, why not Kayode?. I only said Nwakaeme has proved his mettle at a higher stage considering UEFA Champions league qualification. If the stats prove me wrong, I will concede. But let's not forget many factors are also put into consideration in player selection.

I have never said nwakaeme is better, or vice versa. last last, dem go reach camp. It's either Rohr likes what he sees, or he don't.

Kog45:
Sorry for misquoting u by using word 'better' am not suspecting any fowl play over Nwakaeme invitation, Rohr ve said it that Kayode lack fitness coz he did not have much game during pre season which I quite agree

All I want is d result irrespective of player invited for d match,have been watching d game for long,so I always watch it with relaxed mind but nevertheless d best should be called to national team.
