Kog45:
I got your point on Echiejele but my question do we really missed Echiejele at 2014 WC when Oshaniwa stepped in for him.

Truly very experience but his club situation is pathetic cos not able to cut in Turkish league with a very lowly club and moved to Belgium 2nd division and not regular, meaning his experience is no longer valuable.On a good day he should be a rally point at 2nd division being an international player with WC experience.

Experience is more valuable when a player impact is always felt check out Mikel,Vic Moses and Onazi in GWG in recent time,they are valuable to the team.

I think Echiejele only have one option to make the team and is to prove himself in camp,anything less than this he is out and bookmark me he will not be missed just like at 2014 WC.

When experience is a made a stand-alone quality the team will pay the price. When you take experienced players with dwindling quality to the world cup the team will experience failure. No need to ask France or Germany or Italy. Ask Nigeria at France 98 with an experienced but faded Rufai in goal.

So nah dis Tammy wey dey chop open net we for carry go Russia. Mehn we really dodged a copper bullet there oo

Are you statisfied before I move to the next point, please?

How is ebuehi more experienced?

forgiveness:


Ebuehi miss out!? No No No.

Ebuehi is a more experienced player than Aina. I expect him to go to the world Cup.

However, let us wait until after the friendlies.

chrisooblog:
please post leicester city table position during that period

The fact of the matter is dominic and abraham are lagging behind now

I don't care what its means for dominic to be on the liverpool bench after all he was on the chelsea match as well

The first snapshot is the stats of Kelechi Iheanacho.

6 goals with 3 assists

The second is the snapshot of Tammy Abraham's stats.

7 goals with 5 assists.

Now, who is ahead of who?

I am not here to destroy any player but to present facts on ground.

isan:

He has being playing regularly in the Eredivise for 3-4 straight seasons.


Besides, he is also good.

AIG07:
aswear the guy just de dance alanta on top ball and his first touch sef no be am.

I don't even want to talk about his positioning. No strength as a striker, no football sense, no hunger to score. With his height, he can't even bully a tiny defenders, something(bullying) Sadiq of late does for fun. After this season he will be headed back for the championship where he truly belongs because I doubt any EPL team will be ready to take another gamble on him. Dude is a flash in the pan and he's proven that his exploits in the championship was a fluke.

Goldfish80 was right all this while.

Seems Balogun didn't make his team's match day squad. What happened?

Mujtahida:

What sort of thinking is this? Lure him with a slot for the WC? Is that it? I like a good team full of young talented players but the moment you create slots, automatic slots you have destroyed the team. If you are told that Iheanacho has an automatic slot you'd bristle and whine but here you are advocating automatic slot for Torunarigha. Mind you I want him and Uduokhai but it should not be automatic. Let them come and passionately hustle for a place in the team.

Hahahahahah! Na because of that you come dey para?

Cool down.

Now, let us use our common sense.

If Balogun or Ekong get injured during a game at the world cup, who comes in for them and who will sit on the bench?

Is it Omeruo or Awaziem?

The point is that Rohr is still searching for a CB despite the fact that he knows Awaziem and Omeruo. And he's doing everything possible to get one of those Germans.

Are they Uduokhai and Torunarigha better options?

Now, let now talk about luring.

Why is Rohr after these boys? What is he using to entice them? Just come and train with us boys?

Well. Think am well.

Official Brings Good News : Etebo, Ebuehi & Joel Obi Will Report For International Duty
Published: March 16, 2018
Official Brings Good News : Etebo, Ebuehi & Joel Obi Will Report For International DutySuper Eagles Media Officer Toyin Ibitoye has put to rest once and for all speculation in the media that Joel Obi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Tyronne Ebuehi will not be available for next week's international friendly against Poland.

In his latest update to allnigeriasoccer.com, Ibitoye confirmed that both Las Palmas and ADO Den Haag have not informed the Nigerian Federation about the injuries sustained by Etebo and Ebuehi, adding that the players are on the final stretch of the recovery process and will report for international duty next week.

As for Joel Obi, there is nothing new from Ibitoye, but the injury update from Torino is not positive, with the club informing on Thursday via their official website that the central midfielder had an individual training session ahead of Sunday's visit of Fiorentina.

Obi's appearances for the national team have been limited by physical problems but the midfielder has given his word that he will honour this latest invitation.

Tyronne Ebuehi was sighted exercising with his teammates on Thursday, however, he remains doubtful to suit up against Excelsior in the Eredivisie this evening.

Nigeria will face Poland on March 23 before flying to the English capital, where they will trade tackles with Serbia on March 27.

ebuehi didnt play against excelsior last night..i guess it came too soon

etebo might not likely play deportivo this afternoon too

Why do I suspect that these 3 guys want to hide their injury in order to play the friendlies with it?

Nigerian team doctors shouldn't allow it o!

These are all valid reasons for getting back up but even at that no player gets an automatic slot. For what na. @the bolded, how would you know when you have lowered the bar by giving them automatic slot instead of them fighting hard for their place through top quality consistent performance(as your friend komekn will say) in camp and under testing
If he's using WC to entice them it's not wise in my opinion. Their place has to be merited. I can as well spin your argument and say just because we have a gk crisis Maduka should be given an automatic slot.

Abeg show me just one player we have who has an automatic slot, a slot just reserved for him without past or present merit, just mention one.

In the goalkeeper department, we have better options but in the defence, I don't think so.

Still not a good enough reason to give any player automatic slot. Mention just one player that we have who had an automatic slot from Mikel to Musa to Moses down to the latest recruits Ebuehi and Idowu. So why the exception for these guys? They must fight for their places. Nothing like automatic.

This is just your preference for anything foreign speaking not necessarily common sense. I doubt if komekn will just agree that any player should have an automatic slot. This is an excess taken too far

Lol..

maidaboi:
joebie
lets me help him with one Oyedima
komekn i lie?

forgiveness:


Agbo.

I am sure you are being ridiculous. Agbo that is hanging on the fringes. That he's been invited consistently does not mean he has an automatic slot. Mind you we are talking of the final 23 man list for the WC. That's where you are preserving an automatic slot for Torunarigha and others.

forgiveness:

6 goals with 3 assists

7 goals with 5 assists.

Now, who is ahead of who?

I am not here to destroy any player but to present facts on ground.

Liar at bolded. .. From your pictures, they both have 7 goals but from these statistics I will choose iheanacho any day, anytime because

1. he achieved in 1000 minutes what it took Tammy Abraham 1800 minutes to do.

2. Secondly he is in a bigger club than Tammy. Leicester has won the league Swansea hast

3. KC has more pedigree than Tammy and had Proven himself at Man City before his move to Leicester

4. He is more stabilized in the SE

forgiveness:


Ebuehi miss out!? No No No.

Ebuehi is a more experienced player than Aina. I expect him to go to the world Cup.

However, let us wait until after the friendlies.

so who will miss out then.... Ainá is officially capped..... The thing hard.... Performances in the friendlies will tell sha..... Except all will go with use of 352 formation in mind... In that case a forward or midfielder might drop out.... Let's wait for friendlies then....

forgiveness:

For table 1 that u presented that was beginning of the season when clubs were still finding their form after those first few weeks leicester city rightly moved up the table anyone reading what u originally posted will get the impression leicester city were battling to survive the drop for most of the season which was not the case

Now on to your graphic about abraham and kelechi's stats you posted even that kills your arguments according to your table abraham scored 7 goals in 1880 minutes whereas kc scored 6 goals approximately 1100 minutes at best kc edges it at worst nothing to choose between the two

LieDetector:
I greet everyone here. Been busy for a while now so my participation has been restricted to short cameos as a guest.

I want to state explicitly that I'm all for form and not experience. I'm not Rohr apparently but on Echiejile's invitation, I reckon the friendlies will serve as the last chance for him to stake a claim. If he flops, then he should kiss Russia goodbye. It sounds absurd taking to the world cup a player plying his thread in a belgium second divison and still finding it hard to make the team on matchdays and leaving out top talents in other top divisions. It's corruption and not destabilizing team cohesion as some would say.

as mentioned in my earlier, I was just riding on sentiments

ChrisKels:
Seems Balogun didn't make his team's match day squad. What happened?

He is in the lineup bro. Infact they are already 3 goals down in the first half. Tho i am not watching the match but I feel this Balogun is already looking like a suspect in Super Eagles cos I noticed anytime he starts for Mainz, they must concede 2-3 goals or more. They hardly keep clean sheet. I hope the goals are not his fault tho. But its good to have replacement on ground to prevent "Had I know" syndrome at the worldcup

Of course national team. My point is that even if you have a good footballer you have to merit your place in the team not that a slot will be kept for you.

Oga, I intentionally removed the date from the first one. That was October 2017 and it was the 8 week. It was just 3 weeks after I made that statement. That was November 17th 2017.

Oga! Leicester city battled with relegation last season too. How many coaches have they sacked this season alone? Why?

Of course, I know na draw or Tammy slightly edges him. But take note that this is Abraham's first season in EPL. Unlike, Kelechi Iheanacho who is in his 3rd season.


Besides, why did you exclude their assists?

5 assists for Tammy and 3 assists for Iheanacho?

Wayo guy.

Are Awaziem and Omeruo consistently performing in the Gwg at the national team currently?

They will have a final camp to prove themselves.

one thing we all should try to understand is good footballers flop atimes (see Lukaku, Morata, Costa even CR7 at mid seaaon) and the average ones also ball sometimes (watch Chipo Moutin, stoke City first leg against man u, Rashford against Liverpool) But that doesn't imply that Moutin is better than Lukaku! abi Rashford better pass CR7? when we compare players, we shouldn't just base our argument on current stat. The player wey perform poorly today fit win 'man of the match' tomorrow.

that aside, these days I just keep having the feeling that Nigeria will win world cup! yes, I talk am!! but before una criticise me make una listen...
2016, I had the feeling that Portugal will win Euro and they did!
early 2017, I had a feeling that I was going to be a dad, few months later, my gf called to announce her pregnancy and last week Friday, my handsome bobo was born!

I ain't saying I'm a prophet neither do I call myself a soothsayer but guys make una no doubt am o
...Nigeria fit win world cup

Na u dey bring dodgy arguments is it not shameful that abraham can only account for 1 extra goal and two assists more than kc even after playing approximately 800 minutes more than him
