You think Algeria will watch us have it easy over them? To be sincere, we are not likely to win that game.

Even if we are leading at a point in the game, making like for like defensive change is a share waste of substitution slots.

winning that match..is very possible...
one of the factor is the pitch...which is like same obtained in Europe...
mind you...players all invited are hungry...and all wanna prove themselves so there will be no need for complacency

Humility017:

thank you my brother...
to be honest I was not happy seeing kayode and Paul's name being omitted...

but just had to accept it...knowing that a man must not have his way at all times..
hopefully they gets their chance...

That's the Point! Kayode really deserves to be on the List, but Rohr is in Charge not us. Ours is simply to support the Team regardless to the Players invited by the Coaching Crew.

The Dude is pained, but he's over-reacting thus he's making unnecessary Allegations. I wish he retracts his Allegations, then kinda endeavor to move and focus on analyzing what the Invitees could offer in the two Matches.

It won't be an easy match, that's for sure. But I don't know how to frame my mind to think right before a match that we would be defeated even if it's Brazil we are playing. Hope, faith and believe against the odds is what makes matches interesting to watch.

edi287:
I kind of understand forgiveness frustrations. Chidiebere might or might not deserve his invite, but what about people like Aluko who have been playing well for how long now??

Chidiebere doesn't in anyway deserves to be invited.

tbaba1234:


Uzoho is there for the rookie goalie slot. I doubt he will get any game now.

He might keep in a few games in the run up to the world cup.

He may not even keep in any few games as you mentioned. The main focus should be the 1st and 2nd choice goalkeepers.

If Enyeama would be excluded It is looking like Ezenwa and Akpeyi would lead the goalies. Any other keeper may come in as 3rd choice.

Ezenwa and Akpeyi need more game time to boost their confidence and techniques. This is where Rohr should pay more attention. Uzoho would just need to train with them and an opportunity for the goal keeper trainers to look at him closely.

forgiveness:



Chidiebere doesn't in anyway deserves to be invited.

Relax. Remember it is because of the absence of Vicmo and Echiejile that a little window of opportunity has opened for him. He might not even play for all your bewailments sef.

tbaba1234:


Rohr has his scouts. Nwakali offers the willingness to shoot from distance. I am sure they know what they are looking for.

The scouts just woke up one night and boarded plane to Norway to see Nwakali alone while he bye passed others better leagues,?

What a wonderful scout. He must have seen Nwakali scoring from 8m miles in his dream to have gone far to Norway in search of Roberto Carlos Nwskali. Chai!

Algeria are favorites to win that game.

We are already through so psychologically we will not have the kind of do or die spirit with which we played our first 5 matches.

Psychology plays a big role in games.

More obscured than NPFL? Our last AFCON title was won by an NPFL player.

Which league are Cameroonian players that just won the last AFCON playing?

Are your preferred playing for Real Madrid?

When you point one finger, the other four points back at you. You're likely a very corrupt person.

I didn't see this one.

Where is that fellow that won you the AFCON?

Why couldn't he rescue you from loosing out twice from going to AFCON?

Cameroonians presented the best they had and not magogo selective selections played here.

At least, they are playing in a better league than Norway of all places.

If you can't see that then obviously you're likely the corrupt one here.

Mujtahida:

I don't know. Oruma had that kind of luck too. Akpoborie too. It happens. Calm down Bro. There's still time. As you see me, I don't see Nwakaeme going to the World Cup. I don't know. I might be wrong but that's the feeling I have.

During the days of Oruma and Akpoborie, I was pissed off with the same selective selection but then there was no place to voice out.

They allowed those players career to die just like that. To me it is not fair and it has to stop.

Nwakaeme is doing well so he deserves to be called but the coach must start him against Algeria and try him against Argentina.

Who is better?

Azubuike is injured.
Joel Obi just recovered from injury
The coach has already seen Esiti
Onomah is not a regular at Aston Villa. He still needs to be switch international allegiance.
Aluko is not a defensive midfielder.

Who else?

Don't really wanna come in, but couldn't resist any longer. I think Forgiveness needs to take it easy. Don't let the Anger gets the good of you.

I certainly understand your Pain. You love the Players, you follow them, you believe in their Abilities and Talents, you want them in the Team, but the Coaching Crew ain't reasoning or seeing things as you.

No one really bribes anyone. Who ever is on the List deserves the Call up as far as he's a Nigerian. There is no need to be throwing Allegations up and down bro.

You need to support the Team, hope for good Performances from the invited Players, and who ever fails to impress gonna definitely lose his Chance of making the WC List.

Mind you, this ain't the WC List. Anything can happen before the WC List is finally OUT. Many Players gonna be invited, tested and assessed. C. Nwakali has never been invited to the Senior Team. Let's see what he has to offer.

Forget the League he's plying his Trade, coz I believe that the Norwegian League is superior to Cyprus League. If Shehu could rep well in GWG, don't right off C. Nwakali yet.

Also, don't give up now, coz Kayode might eventually get another Chance, impresses the Coaching Crew and eventually gate-crashed into the List.

Chill Bro..... this ain't the WC List.

My problem is not Kayode because I knew the coach never wanted him.

That's so untrue. So many of their stars withdrew from the competition that they were even considers outsiders in the title chase. Some were in their local league, some bench warmers in your own parlance. Read more about it here:

Analyzing The New Super Eagles List: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
16 mins ago by Bryan Efe


Super Eagles theNFF

At first glance, one will notice that Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr stretched his list to 25 compared to the 23 players that were invited for the all important Zambia World Cup qualifier tie in September. Let us take a look at each department as well as the standby provision, to determine what has changed from the previous invitation. I will also explore possible reasons for the inclusions and omissions.

GOALKEEPERS:

Stand in Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa returns, as well as the ever present Daniel Akpeyi. However Deportivo la Coruna’s new safe hands, Francis Uzoho, is on this list in place of Ayodele Ajiboye of domestic side Plateau United, who was in the previous.

Ajiboye was rumored to have given a good account of himself during training leading to the Zambia tie but failed to get the nod to feature. Gernot Rohr rather, kept faith with Ezenwa for Zambia.

It is noteworthy to state that Francis Uzoho’s maiden call up was a well deserved one. Francis had risen quickly through the ranks from Deportivo Fabril to the first team in a short period of time. He posted a shutout in his debut for the senior team and barely missed out of a Whoscored Man of the match recognition, with 4 saves and 2 claims. After two solid displays in the La Liga, he is clearly way ahead of his Europe-based peers, Dele Alampasu and David Nwokolor who are yet to feature for the main team of their respective club sides. And also considering that self-exiled Super Eagles former captain, Vincent Enyeama has been sidelined for quite a while, Uzoho is the only Nigerian goalkeeper who has played recently in the top 5 leagues of Europe. Forgotten Israel-based Dele Aiyenugba

Omitted: Ayodele Ajiboye
Verdict: Good

DEFENDERS:

The list of defenders for the coming Algeria and Argentina matches is identical to that of the Zambia list, except for the inclusion of Tyrone Ebuehi, who was pulled off from standby to replace injured Elderson Echiejile.

Tyronne who is yet to make his official debut for Nigeria, having only featured in an unofficial friendly against Corsica in May, can play also at the left back of defense. It’s high time he got cap-tied.

With the appearance of another left back on the standby list, it seems Super Eagles regular, Elderson Echiejile will now have to start watching his back.

Omitted: Elderson Echiejile (injured)
Verdict: Good

MIDFIELDERS:

Here comes the second beneficiary of the two extra invitation slots, Chidiebere Nwakali! Coincidentally, another member (Uzoho as well) of the U17 World Champions, 2013 class. Kelechi is signed to current English Premier League leaders, Manchester City. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder is currently on his third loan spell, having had spells in Girona and IK Start previously. Failing to appear in the La Liga 2 as at then, Nwakali’s move to Norway two seasons ago put his career back on track. With 4 goals for IK Start from 24 appearances in only his first season, he was courted by several clubs in Norway, before he settled for Sogndal. Nwakali currently has equalled his goals tally from last season after 26 matches, and has gotten two Man of the Match recognitions from football statistical website, whoscored.com.

Despite the relative low rating of the Scandinavian league, Nwakali have given a good account of himself there, and have scored breathtaking goals.

Omitted: Nil
Verdict: Good

FORWARDS:

Injured Chelsea wing back, Victor Moses is conspicuously missing, and Anderlecht winger Henry Onyekuru, takes his place. Onyekuru needs no introduction. He painted Belgium with goals in his debut Jupiler Pro League season, and have continued from where he stopped as he is now the highest Nigerian goal scorer there with 6 goals, after starting slowly. Considering his eye catchy performances in the ongoing UEFA Champions League as well, it is no surprise that he was handpicked by Rohr to replace Victor Moses in the wings.

Omitted: Victor Moses (injured)
Verdict: Good

STANDBY:

The special list reserved for those that could get called up in case of emergency, has a new look. Dele Alampasu, Aaron Samuel, Afeez Aremu, and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi are all missing. In their place are Alhassan Ibrahim, Kenneth Omeruo and Russia-based left-back Brian Idowu.

Omeruo and Alhassan were missing from the previous standby list perhaps due to Rohr giving them time to settle down in their new clubs.

The missing home-based duo, Aremu and Ifeanyi, were mostly used for training in the past, and it would be out of place to invite them now because of lack of game time, considering that the domestic league has been on recess.

One may fault the exclusion of Girona’s forward Olarenwaju Kayode from this list considering that there are no strikers in standby. While the main list is loaded with forwards that one may be tempted to wonder, who Kayode will displace, a provision should have been made in case of any casualty. And having a forward in the mould of Kayode who’s latest exploits in the La Liga cannot be contended, I will have to admit his exclusion is a poor decision by Gernot Rohr.

On Brian Idowu, the coach’s inclusion of him seems to be a mere formality, but to send a message that the defender is still in Rohr’s plans. Alhassan, on his part, has already played under Rohr, so a place on standby this time around, should keep him calm.

Omitted: Afeez Aremu, Dele Alampasu, Aaron Samuel, and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi
Verdict: Bad

Tell us first before I give you list.

I can't believe you guys are actually responding to forgiveness and his childish tantrum ....

Has it not already been established that he is prone to having mouth(finger) diarrhoea whenever Rohr releases a list that doesn't have players like Kayode, Ajagun, Ilori and Solanke on it?

Seriously, no be every disturbance una go dey flash torch for
