no pity for you. There's nothing as such as fixed matches.

wow, not a good one o, i hope he changes his mind, already they helped us qualify so they are also good to go for the World Cup.

ybalogs:
We need our best legs which include Musa and Nacho. Unfortunately they both ain't playing right now which shows they're not good enough. If that situation do not change before the mundial, it's best they join us as we watch from Naija but the truth still remains, do we have alternatives?
Even those playing are mediocre at best. Our squad isn't just good enough but with the team spirit that got us to Russia still intact, we may still spring some surprises with the players we have.

Are you talking about the same Super Eagles that just thrashed the 3 time world champions Argentina, 4:2?

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing on Nairaland.

Iheanacho should look for a small team. He should look beyond earnings, at least, for some time. He earns 40 million naira per week in Leicester but he is not developing as a footballer. Life is about making sacrifices. He could earn less and develop into a star player in two seasons. Wilfred Zaha comes to mind. He is Crystal Palace star player but when he was transferred to Man Utd, he couldn't shine and had to run back to Crystal Palace where he is regarded as king.

whether you like it or not bring Nacho boy along, that aboki musa is only in super eagle not on merit but to balance Hausa/Fulani
supremacy , they only want one of their own to there either doing well in his club or not so the almajiris will be pleased

Troublemaker007:
Rohr you well so? If I hear say Iheanacho nor make that list.

hmmmmm let say dis boy lheanacho start 4rm d club he is now ,club like dat man city n others clubs will b asking him to join dem by now d guy dnt hv good advicer den just after money only God will help him

safarigirl:
so, you have not confirmed it? But there is a move? The same way Etebo is moving to Porto abi?

So, Kelechi is not a reliable striker for us again? Or has he failed you in the Super Eagles recently?

Anyway, there is still Southampton interest and the fans want him. Read it up

PS: We do not have capable replacement for Kelechi

Haha are Kingsley Eduwo (Lobi Stars), Junior Ajayi(Ah Ahly) bad players

those dudes are just wasting there time at that club..........they ve forgotten white and black are`nt the same...............RACISM

[color=#000099][/color]
From Man City to
Leicester city.
Now Besiktas...
Iheanacho kilode.. . Though besiktas is a big club in turkey. Some one tell Rohr we still need him in world cup..
Musa too can bring surprises..

RoyalBlak007:
He is

100% right

Just as he is 100% sure of coming back home after 3 matches

safarigirl:
no be Nwakaeme play 75 minutes against Algeria wey Nigerians wan sacrifice am? Even Rohr fear to play the guy against Argentina sef

I agree wit rohr assertion...
sometimes words like this are needed to spur and motivate these lads...

though he may not drop them...but it will go a long way to instil fear and the need to make drastic moves to work on their football carers....

some may get too complacent and that's not good for our football....
imagine Harris...of agent refusing musa move to Turkey...I believe he did that...reason because he is so sure musa will make the world cup list....

In the case of Kelechi Iheanacho, he most definitely needs to reaccess and reinvigorate himself.
I dont think this is the standards he was setting for himself when he put himself to the limelight in UAE, 2014.
If he cannot get into the starting lineup ahead of Okazaki, then he needs to have a rethink of himself.

sotonzBlog:
this coach is overrated

If a coach is as good as his accomplishment then you're the over rated one here.

Reference:
When we said Nacho's move to Mancity was as grave as a posting to Afghanistan people kicked. Fast forward two years and see the beginning of the end of a once promising career. If he had gone to the continent and to the so called second tier countries such as Belgium, Holland or Portugal, chances are that he will be playing regularly in a league that suits his moderate pace and style and can build his technique to suit bigger and better leagues. The premiership is for mid age finished foreign imports who have a great resume and plenty of hot air behind them. By the time Kanu came to Arsenal he wad already a Champions league winner with Ajax. Same as Finidi before heading to Spain. But see Amuneke. Africa and straight to Barca and puff within a blink of an eye.

You said it all!


History will remember that he gained and lost form in Mancity.


It was a bad decision in his career.

You be better Mugu,dem dey talk of bench warmer and you wan bring another 1 enter,do you really watch football or you just bring any opinion that comes through your mind,Sadiq umar on loan at Torino from as Roma,a player who hardly comes off the bench for Torino and you want him to be involved and you want onazi to be dropped a starter for trabzonspor what are you smoking If you don't follow football keep shut

must you abuse someone before making your point, please note that not anyone you see here are juveniles, some of us here are matured parents, please be guided

it is a friendly match, don't be too excitee

for all of you criticizing the coach... thunder fire your left yansh. if e no work u go dey talk the coach is not working.

eezeribe:
You won't still win the world cup with Super Eagles;with or without the duo...

with this your mind set, you can not successfully manage a business to rule in the business because you has a heart of a follower and not that of a leader

i hope he has a better replacement for them. We have players no doubt but i hope they have not started their political game with Rohr
I will only advise you to be careful because when statement likr this is made it means two things
1- To make the players sit up
2- Money is changing hands somewhere

safarigirl:
This is one of those statements that was not said, but just inferred

no inference here. I'm sure you saw where he said he and his assistant visited their coach and their situation hasn't improved.

babyfaceafrica:
it is a friendly match, don't be too excitee

friendly match that's tougher than the one in an organized competition.


The match was the best friendly match of the year.

MrHistorian:
There's MORE THAN ENOUGH space for Iheanacho and Musa in our 32 Man WC list irrespective of them getting playing time in their respective clubside or not.

He could have simply said the duo MIGHT not feature in games or be a regular starter in the WORLD CUP.

Bullsheet at the end.

Stop the misinformation, World Cup team is made up of 22 player and not 32. Every coach takes only players playing regularly for their respective team to the world cup so that they have a team that is psychological ready to play. The duo do not deserve to go the world cup ahead of players playing regularly for their teams. We do not need players living on past glory

safarigirl:
so you will take just one CF to Russia? And not even a potent one, how many goals does Ighalo have for Nigeria?

Kelechi had two assists and a goal in our last game. You will drop him, but you will take Ighalo that has on and off day?

Is this supposed to be a joke?

My dear every good coach knows there's no sentiments in selection. If u don't play regularly in ur club, u had not make d World Cup list. We are 200million in Dis country 4 fvcks sake getting a replacement shouldn't be an issue. There are numerous Nigerian players in leagues all over Europe playing regularly and we'll. A fit player is 10 times better Dan a former legend. Echiejile, iheanacho, musa shd not make d list if dey don't play. Why do u think European players move to clubs for more playing time, so dey can make World Cup squad.

tall2ce:

being good for your club does not translate to being good for your country and vice versa. It is folly to assume that because this player is doing well for his club, it means he will do well for country.

We have tried these local players multiple times in the past and they turned out to be flash in the pan players. Do yoi remember how many of them Keshi took to Brazil in 2014 and what happened to them?

If it was last year, we could have tried them, but at this point, there is no space for trial and error. Kayode and Nwakaeme were doing great for their clubs, but cow to National team, how far? Neither of them have managed to seal a place after having multiple invites.

We have also had one hit wonders like Oduamadi and Ogbeche that flattered to deceive. They have one good game and you think we have capable replacements, only to take them to the World Cup and discover how shambolic they are.

I don't understand why Nigerians find it hard to learn from past experiences.

HAH:
noe we can be friends again lol

Lol

Reference:


We took an experienced Yakubu Aiyegbeni to the World Cup, what happened. The history was good, that he was our best striker by the records but the geography was bad as he couldn't plot the direct route to goal from two yards. My friend, form is everything.

Speaking about form: ARE YOU SAYING IHEANACHO IS IN FORM? Leicester isn't featuring so obviously he's not in form unlike Iwobi and Ighalo who are having some playing time.

I'm not against the coach taking Kelechi to world cup; he should work on himself before then, Otherwise he won't like the way he would be benched.
