Omo, what exploits are you talking about exactly? How many goals has Kayode scored this season? How many games has even started for Girona?

I watched him closely yesterday and I can't for the life of me see anything special about his game. He was a 80th minute substitute or so, and tried very hard to get into the game. But all I could see for the 15 mins he played was all hustles and nothing else. He's way behind Kelechi and Jude Ighalo in the pecking order.


O pari

I am no fan of Kayode too but Aaron Samuel should not be in the team ahead of him

Mujtahida:

The thing wey this guys dey talk dey somehow I swear

Do not vex.We view football differently and sometimes u must accept that or else u w continue having headache on nothing.

I remember i made an analysis here that how many goals do we want from our striker at WC coz sometimes highest goal scorer at WC normally score 5 ,6 , 7 goals meaning we should be expecting like 3 ,4 goals from our striker if we reaches 2nd round or quarter final.

Thank God Jobie posted Nigeria all time goal scorers at WC and i realized highest scorers(2 goals)like Daniel Amokachie,Emma Amuneke, Uche Kalu,Ahmed Musa were not our top striker.

Then why are we calling for d head of this present team strikers to d extent we are calling for d spent force to come and rescue us when we are not having any problems so far with d team performance index.

I think any of our discussion should be based on fact not just mere saying sake that d team lack potent striker.Our WC qualifications was based on d fact that d team was very potent and I don't think at this era we should be relying on one striker to do it for us.We nearly paid for it at US 94.

The team so far has scored 11 goals in 5 WC qualifying matches which showed 2 goals per match,so what do we expect,3 goals from Victor Moses,2 from Kelechi Iheanacho,Alex Iwobi,Mikel Obi,a goal from Odion Ighalo, and Simeon Moses.

Now let's take our two strikers performance into our analysis, Ighalo and Nacho into consideration.Some who don't really understand d game or are always economical with truth we try and condemn these two lads.

Ighalo had 3 games out of 5 and a goal,in his first match against Cameroon he had a wonderful game and scored a powerful goal,in d second leg he had a better game though he did not score but work for the team tirelessly,through him Simeon was able to score a goal,against Zambia he had average performance due to two chances he missed but still work for d team,with this performance i w still give him the nod to lead d attack.

Iheanacho has been wonderful in eagles colours and his goal ratio is a top notch.In WC campaign so far i w say he has been a good player scoring two goals,one against Zambia in the first leg and one of his best match for eagles,against Algeria he had very average performance.

In Cameroon match he came from d bench and scored a goal which showed he is a reliable striker.In the 2nd leg he couldn't do much,also against Zambia he was on d bench but his total contribution to d team so far was awesome,2 goals in 4 matches mostly from d bench.

Pls my good friend with this simple analysis what do we expect from these players that warrant unnecessary remarks,are the old legs we were clamouring for better,honestly they are not even better than Kayode, Nwakaeme, Onwuachi.

Mind u we have Awoniyi, Osimhen and co knocking d door and some still want to draw us back coz they don't have respect for the team or they are just being sentimental.

The old ones are welcome cos they are Nigerians and national team belongs to all players if Rohr want them,no issue but from my own perspectives they have nothing to add to the team.

Mujtahida:

25 would have been better though.

Even if 100 were allowed to participate, players like martins and co won't make it

I was talking about his exploits in the Austrian league that got him the highest goalscorer and best player award in Austria, and it's these same exploits that got him noticed by Guardiola to had personally called him and bought him for Manchester City. These are his exploits before the friendlies but Rohr refused to call him until he was pressured to do so and when he eventually invited him, Rohr refused to start him in one of those friendlies.

Is Rohr better than Guardiola?

You are asking me how mang goals has he scored this season and how many games he has started, ba!?

Now, tell me how many goals and games iheanacho has scored and started this season and don't forget to tell me about Ahmed Musa?

About the game against Real Madrid, can you please tell us where Kayode played when he came on?

Icon79:
And by the way, am I the only one who thinks that this Argentine friendly isn't such a great idea at this time? Right now, I think we should be playing only the friendlies that we're most likely to win, so we can accumulate as much FIFA ranking points as we could before the final world cup draws are made. If that's the case then matches against the likes of Argentina, Germany, Brazil, Belgium, Spain, France, etc. ought to come later in our preparations - after the final draws are made.

Someone please tell me that I am not crazy!



O pari

If FIFA rankings vis - a- vis the draws for the World Cup is your fear regarding the timing of the Argentina match then you need not fear. It is the October rankings - we are 41 - that would be used for the draws. No time is the best than the present time. Nobody can guarantee tomorrow cos the schedule next year will be tight and Argentina would be sought after by more competitive countries like Germany, Spain, France etc.

Hahahaha hahahaha Sir Kog45, my comment which you quoted was more like a pun on the guys moniker (his moniker is somehow). It wasn't meant to disparage anyone. I am quite at home with differences in views and perspectives. I like a multicoloured world, not monochrome. Now let me settle down and digest this treat you've downloaded.

the draws would be made with the October ranking

so as it stands now, the friendly isn't going to affect the ranking to be used for the draws unless you're talking about Qatar 2022

Sound analysis. A good CF is just to act as the main conduit for the team's attack. But I like it that our goals so far have a good spread among the players so that means we have several dangermen in the team.

I too believe that we should not go back calling for players who as I perceive it have done their time in the team and to me they belong to the past. Because I see a new season but like you said I defer to Rohr's judgment. If he feels they are good enough, so be it.

No, you are not crazy.

Firstly, the October rankings would be used for the World cup draws. The November games i e Algeria and Argentina would be used for November rankings which will not be considered by FIFA for the draws

Secondly, nothing wrong with playing Argentina now. That game would possibly expose a lot of our weaknesses early enough so we start early enough to correct them from the AFCON qualifiers and other friendly(ies) early next year.

Francis Uzoho gets a maiden call-up to the @NGSuperEagles. https:///MTSyqOEuAN

Got from Solace Chukwu @TheoddSolace twitter handle

This may actually discredit earlier report from @owngoalnigeria

I think the only thing Musa got over Onyekuru is experience and goals he's scored for SE. Apart from that, in style of play, Onyekuru is a more effective Musa. And considering that Musa is finding it hard to get game time in his club, there is no justification for his inclusion in the team. He is simply hanging in there based on past glory and a WCQ assist. Just as Rohr did in the case of Musa Muhammed, he should be advised to make a move for playing time.

Mujtahida:

It's not on a lighter note ooo. Seriously there's strong contention especially from Onyekuru if he replicates his club form in the GWG for Musa's place. I really was Onyekuru to pose a serious stake for that RWF position so that Iwobi can move to the centre. Let Moses, Musa and Onyekuru battle it out for the RWF.

Honestly u are on point,i watched his game against Deportivo, he deserves another call,against Real Madrid he came in to maintain the scoreline.
