This is not a CAF Competition bro, rather a FIFA Competition. If any Foul Play is suspected, expect both Cameroon and Zambia to be banned and fined!

That doesn't stop Cameroon from fielding a weak team after all they are already eliminated.

Somebody must have suggested Aaron to him as a physical player. It's not like his recents stats have been impressive. It's solely based on what he once did for SE.



LOL,Aaron had no business in that team,somebody that had 1 goal in 14 games in the whole of last season does not deserve a call up IMO.The only game he started this season,he was yanked off at the 42 minute because he was playing trash and the rest has been cameo appearances.I am sure he was one of those player ordering for calabar chicks in camp grin

Iheanacho scored in that role vs Zambia. We controlled that match. As for Aina, I wouldn't start someone who hasn't played for Nigeria in a crucial qualifier. And LB is not his best position.

if you are good then you are good weda you have played before or not...you want to start that 02 elderson against Zambia...the same elderson way Cameroon wan kill if nor for balogun...LB might not be his best position but I am very certain he is better than elderson in that position.. has ezenwa played for Nigeria before he delivered against Cameroon? grin

Do u have any goalkeepers presently in better shape than what's obtainable now? What's the guarantee that recuperating enyeama will be match fit before that decisive encounter in less than a month? I like nwokolor as much as u do but be honest, how many minutes has he under his belt so far this season compared to Ezenwa?

In the attack u can make a case for anybody but Musa that hasn't made the match day squad dating back to almost middle of last season. Even with Eagles, he hardly see minutes of action and the few minutes he was on the pitch specifically in the double header against Cameroun, he didn't make any striking impact, u can argue that he didn't have enough time, but if he was cutting it at training, he would be playing more. At the club level, form and Stats wise, onyekuru trumps him.

Rahim Lawal? The less said, the better. He now plays in the same league as Azu, has he been as good as or any better than Azu in Turkey so far? Though they played with different sets at the u23, Rahim was never as good as Azu was at the u23s.


Lol u thumbed up my defence even with Shehu (a Cyprus league player) on the list? Hmmm wonders they say...

When did this season start? Nwolokor was regular last season. Fact.

Enyeama is fit says the reports online.

So, you didn't hear how Musa take score this season, ba!? grin


Bhuuuhahaha! You dey compare Raheem Lawal with Azubuike for Turkey? shocked grin

When Raheem Lawal won MOTM, made team of the week left right and center, etcetera etcetera, Azubuike still dey learn for Turkey's second division. grin

In short, this is Azubuike first season in Turkish first division league. grin

Azubuike is down the pecking order in regards to players in line for the CMF role. grin

Bhuuuhahaha, he was never as good but Raheem won the joint top goal scorer, first eleven of the Tournament despite his team not in the first 4. shocked grin

What does that tell you? grin

Sorry for the late reply.

However, you are right on point in your first and second paragraphs.

Rohr must not look pass him because he is a better option in the CMF position. I still remembered how we destroyed Argentina with 4 goals in our friendly, Joel and Obi Mikel were the engine room that day. It was in 2011.

If we had qualified for the CAF tournament then we for don win. grin

Peradventure, he still battles with injuries then Ajagun is a very good backup option but I want the coach to give Ogu chance to prove himself first before he considers Ajagun or Raheem Lawal.

I want to see how Azubuike will respond in his first season in a top league.

On Kelechi Nwakali, if he plays well in the Eredivisie, why not? He can be considered but for now many are ahead of him.

Rohr should not just invite and keep players on the bench. We must begin to feel their impact and what they bring to the table.

The left back position is really a cause for concern though Echiejile used his experience to reduce the speed and crosses from the Cameroonian guy introduced in the second half.

At a point, Echiejile made a run towards the Cameroonian box expecting to receive a simple pass from Victor but Victor choosed the wrong option. Passing to Echiejile could have led to the second goal.

However, I think it's high time Pinnick speak with Jordan Torunarigha else Taiwo should be brought back. grin

I am going to add to all your concerns here regarding our LB position. Trust me this is a very serious concern.

Echiejile simply is not up to it. Let me take you back to our first game against Zambia. Omeruo has been hung out to dry for not dealing with a VERY SIMPLE cross which led to Collins Mbesuma muscling him out and firing at goal. I think the bigger issue not discussed at the time was what the Zambian winger Fwayo Tembo was doing to Echiejile. He was literally molesting the guy, dribbling past him repeatedly like he was a training cone!

Tembo had the freedom and space to put a couple of beautiful crosses in our box because Echiejile was too scared to close him down. Why? Because anytime he tried to go in and win the ball, Tembo just knocked it past him and that was it Echiejile was behind him and he could run clean into our box and pick his options! By being scared of closing him down the guy was able to keep putting balls in dangerous areas within our box and that's how the Zambians got a goal.

Stupidly but favorably for us, the Zambian coach substituted Tembo just after the goal, not sure why, he must have been injured because if he wasn't that would surely rank as one of the most shocking substitutions I have ever seen in football. Tembo was having a free ride and if he had stayed on Zambia will certainly have created more chances and perhaps scored more goals!

We must get a replacement before the Zambia game or I predict a rough ride.

Who else noticed that the Zambian players who scored the goals to knock out star studded Algeria have barely left their teenage years? We must be very very careful. I am worried.

You guys are just having headaches which are not yours in the first place, the the wcq means more to the players, coach and nff. Do you know what it means to their careers? abeg make una chill, we don't have a bad case here. The zambians need to come out to attack in uyo and that's where they will chop it. They can't defend and attack at the same time for whole of 90 mins. Pls you guys should stop psyching the zambians up, they themselves know inside that beating the eagles in uyo is a tall dream, haba wetin.

Lol, forget it. Echiejille or no Echiejille, Zambia can't beat Nigeria, you shouldn't be scared. We also have Moses and lghalo now in form. In the midfield l would prefer Ogu to come in for Mickel and Anthony for lghalo in attack.

Honestly those algerians are little boys, before last nite game, they still had the chance for 10 points knowing that the last game will be against Nigeria in their backyard, they are not adventurous at all, look at Ghana they drew at home and went away to congo to score five. The next time I hear anyone mention Algeria as a soccer giant, I go lash that person plenty strokes. They made Zambia feel like soccer giants which they are not.
