TheGoodJoe: Besides "Owublow" as popularly called was an out and out striker. The only person he would have displaced was Yekini. And you know that was almost impossible. And I don't think he could play the roles Siasia and Amokachi played in the team. He simply was not needed |

Goke7: How can Yekini not be at his best when players ganged up against him? What could Okocha had done in 98 when the rest where fatigued during the match against Denmark? Okocha was the only player that carried the match for head like gala though he looked for suitors with his display. Nevertheless, the rest were not in that game and the coach messed up with the submissions . If he had brought in Tijani earlier we for don do something. 1 Like |

My view on Brazil 2014 The squad was confusing: 3Gks, 7Dfs, just 5mid, and a whooping 8fwds. Ejike, Azubuike, Odunlami, Oshaniwa, Babatunde, Nwofor, Uchebo, Agbim were all average additions to that team. In fact the strike force had no connect. wack and tired leg def. di Maria had 6shots at Enyeama and i'll say that team had no understanding, bond except Emenike and Osaze. Ameobi tried. Cant help but wonder how this was our 2014 squad. 1 Like

NFF VP SPEAKS ON UNUSED PLAYERS (title modified). See quotes Tammy Abraham Tipped To Gatecrash Nigeria's World Cup Squad Published: October 25, 2017 ![]() Photo Credit : swanseacity.com Tammy Abraham Tipped To Gatecrash Nigeria's World Cup SquadThe international future of Tammy Abraham, whether he plays for Nigeria or England at senior level, is still up in the air, but the Chelsea wonderkid has been tipped to gatecrash the Super Eagles World Cup roster nonetheless. The England U21 international looks a certainty to be on the plane to Russia if he pledges allegiance to the Super Eagles ahead of the Three Lions, and has been name-checked by the Nigerian Federation, with Amaju Pinnick visiting him in London last month. ''NFF vice-president Seyi Akinwunmi has said he expects some players who did not feature in the qualifying tournament for the 2018 World Cup to make the final cut to Russia,'' writes scorenigeria.com. ''Coach Gernot Rohr used a total of 37 players in the qualifiers, but the likes of Vincent Enyeama (Lille), Joel Obi (Torino), Henry Onyekuru (Anderlecht), Tammy Abraham (Swansea City), Denis Bonaventure (Club Brugge) and Ibrahim Alhassan ‘Muazzam’ (Austria Wien) were some of the payers who were not involved.'' If Abraham is included in Nigeria's World Cup roster, he'll follow in the footsteps of Chelsea teammate Victor Moses, who represented England youth teams before representing the three-time African champs at the World Cup. The 20-year-old has shown promise in nine top-flight appearances for Swansea City, scoring four goals. Ifeanyi Emmanuel |

Some lessons so far on our failed world cup attempts from responses so far include 1. Stick to the coach that qualifies you for the world cup cos you you need that strong bond between the coach and the players who have been working tirelessly together. 2. Do not discard half or majority of the players that qualified you for the world cup as it affects team spirit and you end up with players in the world cup who are strange bed fellows. Case in point keshi despite qualifying for the world cup and going to the world cup ended up with players who were not really used to each other. This may be the reason Mikel rejected the inclusion of ramon azeez [though unprofessional of mikel] in the game against France. 3. Go with at least 90% of your players who qualified you for the world cup. case in point USA 94 team. If you must bring in new players, very very few however there seems to be strong cases for the inclusion of Kayode Olanrewaju, Henry Onyekwuru and Sone aluko to the team. They are not strangers to the Eagles as they have been invited before. 4. Nff need to sort out issues of bonus and players welfare on time. I heard before the end of this year, Nff will meet with the players to tell them how much they will earn during the world cup next year. Good one I must say. 5. Quality warm up games for the team, perhaps warm up games against Germany and Yugoslavia brought out the best of Nigeria against Spain in France 98. 6. We must check over confidence from the players, case in point is one of the reasons we lost the Denmark game in 1998 as the players were already thinking about brazil when they haven't finished with Denmark 7. We must check players who tend to be selfish in the game, result against argentina in the 2010 world cup would have been different if the likes of martins were not selfish in their play. Okocha was another culprit in past world cups. Victor Moses need to be checked on this. Players in better position must be given the ball for clinical finishes in front of goal like we saw against zambia with Iwobi's goal. This could decide games. 8. Team selection must be based on those who are hungry for the team success and not those who just want to appear as some big players have failed to turn up on the big occasions, e.g. Yekini of blessed memory and Okocha. 9. Good mix of youthful and experienced players. One of the reasons we failed in the 2002 world cup was the way we discarded experienced players who were still in form and hungry. Thank God Rohr had admitted that it was the mix of young and experienced players that achieved qualification. So those who feel the likes of Mikel, musa, onazi, echiejile even omeruo are not relevant may need to have a rethink. One advantage of the crop of young players we have now like iwobi, iheanacho, ekong and co is that by the next world cup, they will be very experienced players. 10. Updated FIFA rules must be understood by players and coaches to avoid naive situations. Reason we even failed to qualify in 2006 as we knew nothing about head to head rule. Players also need to be warned about inscriptions on their inner wears as they risk unnecessary yellow cards like we saw in the match against Cameroon involving Ighalo. 11. The technical bench assisting the coach need to have a good balance of competent and experienced hands that will complement the coach technically. e.g. in 2014 world cup the technical team that won the afcon in 2013 was overhauled without coach kehsi's consent which in turn affected the balance of the team from what we saw in afcon earlier. 12. Discipline on and off the pitch must be maintained by coach and players. This cost us in the 2010 world cup where kaita was sent off and the indiscipline acts and rows among players that happened in both 1994 and 1998 world cups including the lack of concentration that cost us the match against Italy 1994 in the dying minutes. 3 Likes |

Good job. My suggestion, ss regards number 3, there is no need mentioning names as two players of those three are known to Rohr and IMO are in the Super Eagles set-up. If we must mention names, let it be players Rohr has not ran the rule over or have probably not taken notice of. Granted, it's okay if you want to put Aluko there. Ajagun and Onuachu are other "valid" suggestions. Modified I want to believe some of these players are under Rohr's radar -- those he has once invited. Esiti, and even Musa Muhammed comes to mind. Im sure he and his crew will be monitoring their progress. No need mentioning those names. We can't tell the coach who to pick, but we can direct him to take notice of some players, people around him may have ignored. Goke7: |

TheGoodJoe:Please the correct facts are that Trousierre qualified us for the World Cup. I vividly recall that he was the one who did with one match to spare against Guinea which Taribo and Titi Camara entered into a bet that with Camara saying he would score and Taribo saying he would not. Last last, Camara scored the only goal. I think tglobal's analysis on the two matches Sinclair played is correct. You have both BBC and Wikipedia confirming it was Trousierre yet you say that they are both wrong. Why don't you just do as you often advise:acknowledge you were mistaken and let's move on. |
