forgiveness:My 14 man list are sure bankers for WC but d remaining are to fight for d 9 slots including potential gatecrasher like Joel Obi,Oyekwuru, Abdul Ajagun,Taiwo Awoniyi who happen to be my boy i can even call him my son,Josh Onomah,Brain Idowu. Oh Joel Obi very good player but i hope he is injury free so that he can fight for a place in d team and there is no way he w be in 14 man list coz 14 man list was based on performance and strong bench,this made player like Aina to be on d list coz he can complement both full backs On Nosa Igiebior,if u check my list very well,i try to accommodate all players Rohr and his technical team have used so far,that's why I gave him 10/90 chances of making it which is not possible. Even Aron Samuel too,i don't expect him to be in d team but only Rohr can explain,his club form presently damn terrible. Oh Kenneth Omeruo i still rate him highly coz Awaziem still need to prove to me he is ready,though good performance so far in his club but no matter what i w rather take Omeruo instead of Agbo Uche. 2 Likes |

I would like to suggest a 23-Man Squad for the World Cup solely based on personal observations. Goalkeepers; (1) Dele Aiyenugba; I pick him as my first Choice Goalkeeper because he's currently with a Club, he's the Number 1 Goalkeeper for the Club, he's a good Penalty Saver, and he's the most experienced aside from Enyeama. Sometimes it baffles me why Aiyenugba is being snubbed for the Call up. He's ready to heed the Call and I think he deserves to be tried. I would have picked Enyeama first, but it's unfair to select him based on past Glory. Enyeama needs to get a Club in January and proves himself fit and ready for the World Cup. Also, another Reason I couldn't choose Enyeama is simply for the Team's sake. Is he coming to dethrone Mikel as the Captain, or Dudes think Mikel could relinquish the Captaincy to him?! (2) Ikechukwu Ezenwa; he's definitely gonna be an outstanding and reliable Deputy. I think he's a good Lad, he's ready to learn and he's really improving, and I believe he's the next to take over the No. 1 Position after the World Cup. (3) Dele Alampasu; I pick the Rookie simply to understudy the Senior Colleagues for Future's sake. 2 Likes |

Please don't go the Akpeyi way, 80% of SE fans understand what I meant.Ajiboye was outstanding for Plateau united 2016/2017 NPFL season, he had represented both U17 and U20 national teams with little or no flaws and was outstanding in the single game he was in goal at WAFU. You need to watch Tiago Ilori to see his ingenuity, he is a class any day. Ajagun right from is playing days and career movement has always been repelled by the bench. He is a play maker, with eye for passes and goals. Watch his performances in Greece, Holland and Belgium and you would have a rethink. Azubuike with all objectivity can stroll into the Eagles midfield. Currently one of the best DM in turkey and his display at the Olympics merits him being in the fold but lack of quality agent that can plead his course is greatly working against him.In fact, inviting Agu ahead of Azubuike is an insult to football gods. Everton may likely recall Onyekuru. Watch him closely and you see the 'henry' instinct in him. Skillful, fast and unplayable on his days.As for Kayode, please note that we need firepower in our attack. Among the strikers we have this boy seems unique. Kayode can operate from both wings and also top strike an attribute lacking in Iheanayo and Ighalo but also inherent in Oyekuru. We need players that are not easily pinned and are very mobile. Kayode and Onyekuru both can sub either V.Moses and S.Moses when the chips are down while operating as false 9 because they are both more of dynamic players. You can as well make adjustment to the squad and try to justify. You are everly welcomed. Kog45: 1 Like |

Naijaphobia:Good to hear your view and beautiful explanation. I rate Ajiboye highly coz what i saw of him against Guinea, he was so calm and highly confident,he distribute his ball on d ground with his legs and play with his defenders but I cannot use that match to judge him perfectly. If Rohr can try it,i want to see him in goal against Algeria coz something is telling me d guy is better than Akpeyi and Ezenwa but we need to see him in a grade A match to determine his readiness. |

Defenders (4) Shehu Abdullahi; I think he has booked his place in the Team as a reliable RB even though he plays as a CM for his Club. (5) Leon Balogun; he's a reliable Defender, a solid Leader at the Back, a Fighter and very committed Player. He deserves it coz he truly earned it. (6) Troust Ekong; he's more or less like Balogun. He's a fantastic Defender and he deservedly earned his Place on the List. (7) Ederson Echiejile; I know some Dudes would be amazed with his Inclusion, but he really deserves to be on the List. In fact he deserves to be in the first XI. I believe he's gonna come good at the Tourney, however if he fails to pick up, there is a solid backup(s) on the Bench in waiting. (8} Ola Aina; He's comfortable both as a RB and a LB. He's young and pacy, and wouldn't be surprised if he eventually displaces Echiejile in the first XI. (9) Tyrone Ebuehi; I think he's yet to make his official Debut due to tactical Reason. He's not strong enough to cope with Africa Football, but technically he's really to serve as a RB and a LB backup respectively. (10) Chigozie Awaziem; He's gonna be a good backup on the Bench, also it's an opportunity for him to gain exposure and learn from the Senior Colleagues. (11) Uche Agbo; his case is similar to Awaziem. He's more experience than Awaziem at the Club level though, hence I think he's gonna be a reliable backup CB. He's technically gifted and his versatility is a Bonus to the Team. 3 Likes |

Naijaphobia: A few exaggerations in this post. Azubuike as good as i rate him is not currently one of the best Dms in Turkey. Agu has better stats than him in Turkey. Tiago Ilori, we have options better than him like Iorfa. He does not fill me with confidence. Ajagun is not a creative maestro.His passing stats are poor. Last season, he had only 2 assists and a 73% pass accuracy. 2 Likes |

Having seen the provisional 30-man squad list folks have been drawing up, I am also tempted to draw out mine. But had to refrain as so many things can occur between now and MAY 2018. Players can experience dip in form, injury can set in and so many other factors. Well, as we are still in the euphoria of qualifying for the world cup, I'll highlight the provisional team list of our last two outings i.e 2010 and 2014 respectively, as I will love us to compare the depth and qualities of players we've sent to the mundial in recent time with the present pool of players who are likely to make the list... 2010 WORLD CUP PROVISIONAL SQUAD Goalkeepers: Vincent Enyeama (Hapoel Tel Aviv, Israel), Dele Aiyenugba (Bnei Yehuda, Israel), Austin Ejide (Hapoel Petah Tikva, Israel), Bassey Akpan (Bayelsa United, Nigeria)*.

The big question is this: will Enyeama heed Rohr’s appeals to come back to the team? Of course, the inclusion will also be based on whether he gets a club team in January. If he doesn’t, I can’t see a plausible reason for Rohr to bring him to the World Cup party. Moreover, we don’t know when Carl Ikeme will recover fully from his ailment. So, if he only recovers around 2 months to the tournament, it won’t be wise to also include him in the final 23. That leaves us with a trio of Ezenwa, Alampasu, and Ajiboye. Ezenwa would obviously be the likely number 1 in Russia. However, if Ikeme fully recovers around January or February, he gets to join Ezenwa and Ajiboye. |

My good friend, both Agu and Azubuike you have seen in the national colours. Abeg, who is better? Agreed, there may be better options than Tiago Ilori but you can also safe us the trauma by suggesting names and let's put them through scrutiny.Reason I ended my submission with a parting shot that the list can be adjusted with justifications. Bros, how come passing accuracy of 73% is seen as poor? I remember anytime I scored 73% in Ife back then I go enter Moz oh! Anyway sha, its all my personal opinion and will entertain superior ones. tbaba1234: |

Mujtahida: Raphael Varane was 18 when he started to play for Real Madrid and has been first choice CB even now 6 years later. Already with near 40 caps for France he became a CB at Lens at the tender age of 16. For me arguably one of the best CB's in the world. |

Midfielders (12) Mikel Obi; I wasn't a big Fan of Mikel, but I'm convinced he's a good for the Team right from the Olympic. He's the most successful Players in the Team, he's very experienced and ready to give all for the Team to succeed. (13) Ogenyi Onazi; I do not have to do much talk on him. I just hope for an Onazi of the last World Cup before the Injury. (14) Karo Etebo; His agility, pace and strength gonna be tactically useful in the World Cup against some Teams. I think he's definitely gonna be a good Addition to the List. (15) Abdul-Jeleel Ajagun; He can play as pure No. 10 and as a SS. He has played 9 Games for his Club this Season with 2 Goals to his Name. He can also play as a CM or LW. I hope he's given a Shot to prove himself in the coming Games. (16) Wilfred Ndidi; He's a proven Talent - no doubt about it. His versatility is also a Bonus to the Team. I hope he forms a reliable and formidable PIVOT with Onazi. 2 Likes |
