Daejoyoung:
Ola Aina though, good player but must minimize the spaces he leaves behind him. Echiejille was average though and mainly lacked pace, he also didn't offer so much support for Moses but l think his critics have been slightly unfair to him most times.
We still need a left back and Omeruo to compete with the oyinbo wall, we also need a center forward and an attacking midfielder relegating Mickel to Central Midfield.

The main reinforcements are needed at the back. Awaziem is now 3rd choice CB, it seems. Agbo or Omeruo will likely get the 4th spot.

I feel we need reinforcements here.

Elderson has served us well but i do not think, he should be first choice at the world cup.

During U17 2007..ajiboye Don born 3 children... Lol...
Just hope someone will not see this...

And the guy claim 17years ....

11years down the line... Now in super eagle.. Ajiboye is at his peak right now... Thank God is a goalkeeper

Chei Ajiboye don born 3 children as under 17 in 2007,pls are u joking or real coz i remember guys always saying Taiye Taiwo twin brother is above 40 but his twin brother die at birth.

I'm so happy we made it! Hello Russia, Nigeria Super eagles is coming...

Kog45:
Yea but NFF guys know him very well especially Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi,Segun Odegbami, Felix Owolabi,these people are enough to talk to him coz it seems he is d problem not d boy.

I don't expect him to be a stumbling block on this issue,he was a very local home based player then and i thought he should be happy seeing d boy played for Nigeria.

Kudos to Iwobi and Aina Fathers, see d join in their face, just like when someone child graduated from d university.They are just too happy seeing their children playing for Nigeria.

Hope Tammy Dad can do d same thing, though a lot are not happy with him now for coming out to denied Nigeria but hope he can have a rethink.

Ojokojo and Irofa fall my hand on their children coz they know d system very well and nobody should tell them before these guys pledge allegiance to Nigeria.

My wish is to see Felix Uduokhai,Ojokojo, Irofa in Nigeria colour and make d competition thick in d national team just like d way we are seeing Aina,Iwobi Balogun, Ekong doing it.

At least Dominic Iorfa's own is better - he said his son would play for Nigeria at the senior level.
They should talk to that Ojokojo oo cos we need that boy. Him and Uduokhai or at least one of them.
The commitment of Alex and Ola's Dads is really heartwarming. Iwobi's Dad- while trying to explain why Iwobi came to camp on Tuesday rather than Monday - said that he'd be the last person to encourage his son to break camp rules and that the young man is disciplined - that's why having a good father is important. He also said he's been following Iwobi to football games since Iwobi was four. Can you imagine?

That back line needs stiff competition, very stiff competition. If we are solid at the back it would bolster our attack. Someone said Ikeme kept us in the game against Zambia in Ndola till we scored and that's true cos I remembered how he made save upon save till we scored. That's what a good defence does- it keeps you in the game.

How do you see Ighalo? I do think he played well but missed too many chances especially the threaded pass from Moses after Iwobi countered but unlike Iwobi he failed to keep things simple and just shoot. He wanted to do Bebeto on the ball and that's how the opportunity was lost. Otherwise I feel his movement is good, he gets into goal scoring positions and his hold up play and dribbling are good enough for him to have a place in the team if he does not suffer any dip in form.

success has many friends,almost everybody in Nigeria want to identify with SE now,expecially the poloticians,even APC

It's a gooooooaaaalllllll, Iwobiiiiiiiii. Iwobi scores. We are on our way to Russia. Thank you God for this football, for this Iwobi, for this goal that mweened into the net.

With this goal Iwobi has become an Icon of Nigerian football. Will he become a legend? Time will tell.(double anointing of his Uncle fall on him)

daveP:
Case of monkey work, baboon chopping. it would be unfair to some if he makes world cup squad without sweating for it sincerely.

World Cup slots are not compensation for players dat laboured to qualify, but for simply d best players of a country.
I no wan hear "cos he was in the qualifiers he should go" Hell no! Only the best gotta go.

Ighalo had normal game like others except d indecision from Moses pass,still a player for d top 9 position,though some are saying Nacho would have done better but i disagreed.

I don't know what is stopping rohr from inviting this guy...may be because his father is not pinnick's friend stopped the FA president from making a move on him..

rather than keep longing for Tammy...let's cap him...he still have years ahead of him..

sir you're talking as if you've not been watching SUPER EAGLES matches...

between nacho and ighalo who is more clinical in front of goals?

Yea world cup is for d best but at least 50% of our best are already in d team.It is left for Rohr to decide who is going to make it but definitely d best should represent us.

I hope this doesn't become an Ighalo/Kc debate. Undoubtedly Kc is the more clinical finisher however to me Ighalo offers more threatening movement. He dribbles better too. Kc should play behind the main striker like in our first match. He will score more.

please don't mention those guys...called politicians....it is only God that will judge them..

sometimes I wish the money use in paying them fat salaries and entitlements could be place on sports finance in this country it would have been better...

because sports men and women have brought us more respect,unity and recognition as a nation than those looters in government...
all of them cut across political parties...are thieves

good you spoke the truth...
in a world cup tournament where you've the best nations all play...

you don't go start missing goal scoring opportunities like he did yesterday...
a clinical team will punish you for it.

he is more of Nigeria version of Edison cavanni....who can utilise 2 out of 10 created chances

That sentimental factor is always gon be there. Right now Ahmed Musa's place in the squad is really not guaranteed. I see at least four or five players in the crop that played the qualifiers being dropped and entirely new guys taking up their places. May God help John Ogu.

But I know we ain't taking no Uchebos to the World Cup this time.

not only uchebo kind of player...
also...ameobi, Gabriel, azubuike, ejike etc

musa i will prefer we go wit musa in place of Henry....for now...
reason because of his experience and his abilities is still not in doubt

musa is still good...

Like Rohr said yesterday,the next phase is preparing for the world cup. In my opinion, baring injuries and significant loss if form, the coach already knows at least 15 players if not more of the players he wants to take to Russia. But let's wait and see if any new guys can still gatecrash!!!!!

Can you see what ighalo did to Kennedy?

Infects?? Dude has already been infected. Rumors of his attitude and lifestyle have been going on for a while now. This story is really no surprise to me. It's disappointing because he has massive potential.

Its not everything you talk about in the public domain his behaviour and attitude are not hidden to those in the know.

He reminds me of another young French international striker Magaye who left Everton to Millwall had similar problems. Highly indisciplined.

I don't know if it was the TheGoodJoe that said Pep doesn't allow his young players to have girlfriends.

I find that the pursuit of woman has completely destroyed the career of so many players. If to say I deh Naija, honestly I would have liked to koboko flog some of them, so that sense go enter thier heads.

I FIND INDISCIPLINE HIGHLY ANNOYING.

Na now I can support your call for Rohr to become a little bit radical. Cos we need to apply real tactical intelligence at the World Cup. No be to the play the same line up all the time in the name of never change a winning team. That might not work all the time. Sometimes a little tweaking like bringing Iheanacho to play behind the main striker can help make our attack more effective, a midfield combo of Mikel-Ndidi - Etebo /Iwobi too can do wonders in that midfield

Mujtahida:

Na now you come. At least you for first ask me why I dey ask those questions. Anyway. You see, I didn't even know that Mehala is Iwobi's Dad's nickname. Infact I thought you were referring to that Pakistani activist Malala.
Shey you know Jay Jay played for Enugu Rangers. Abi na there the man take see him sister?

I schooled in ABU Zaria. I loved Islamic law(though not a Muslim sha nor Hausa/Fulani) and so my colleagues named me Mujtahid - a scholar or authority in Islamic law.

Are you serious about going to Russia? I am a russophile of some sorts cos I enjoy Russian literature more than any other literature in the world - Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev etc.
Draws will be done on December 1st. After then one can know which group Nigeria falls into and city to host that group. I am not planning to be there sha but mehn if you there or any member of this thread it would be sumptuous with tidbits, pictures of places, camp snippets. How I wish!!

Oya knack me two bottle for dia

Yea yea bro but I don't know where he met Alex's mum.
Nice moniker though kinda hard to pronounce
Yea if everything works as planned, I would be cheering them up over there. I pray they are based in Petersburg, would be staying with my elder bro.

Chai I for knack u one botl but...

My man have been watching Eagles since 80s and i know what am talking about

I watched Odegbami Segun,Rasheed Yekini,Chibuzor Ehielegbu,Odiaka,Owubokiri,Samson Siasia, Mike Obiku,Chris Ohenhen,Dan Amokachie, Efan Ekoku,KANU Nwankwo, Julius Aghaowa, etc

So issue of Nacho or Ighalo not new to me and I know what am saying.I rate Nacho highly than Ighalo, u can check most of my comments but Rohr must have his reason for picking Ighalo ahead of him of recent.


Pls check most of my comments on Ighalo i don't rate him but he had a good game against Cameroon which i appreciate.

My point is not who is more clinical or do u see anywhere i said Ighalo is more clinical than Nacho,so why d question.

Ighalo had a fair game like others in a tense soaked match and he cannot be dropped coz of yesterday match,that's my point.

BascoVanVeli:


Omeruo is not on a downward anything. He is still a regular in the same league he was last year. Agu plays in the same team with Ekong and he is also a super regular.

A player bough by Chelsea with so much promise.

Has never played for Chelsea, goes on loan in Holland then comes to Middlesbrough all with the quest to prove himself as top quality. However, his time at Middlesbrough was far from outstanding. He then leaves to an even lower league and you call that progress. I even rate Efe Ambrose more than him currently. Is Omeruo the best CB in Turkey Or among the top 5

Tega went Bristol city and essentially in one season tore up the championship. Aina has gone to Hull and within weeks the number one RB in the championship that's progression.

In this regard Omeruo has not progressed, we need much better. Is he better than Iorfa

When you get to Russia don't forget to send us pics. I pray so too so you can have the opportunity if they are based in St Petersburg.

this guy's name has been getting a lot of mention on this thread.
I'll check him out the first chance I get but this one Wey me sef get more twitter followers than, I hope he can play ball

Please educate me.

Is Mikel Agu not a Porto player ? Or is there another one? He played on loan for V. Setubal but in reality has barely played for the senior team at Porto.

When did he then go to Turkey, like I said please educate me.

i am not canvassingfor him to be dropped from the team, but definetely not a top 9 and shouldn't be starting ...you've been watching eagles since the 1990s....you're in a better position to know the kind of strikers that have always been paraded by the SE...the likes of yekini and co....
there is need to shop for a top 9 and back ups for troost and Leon and also elderson...
That's all we need now .
