I said it early that we would play the Polish team, but not the Serbs. Those guys have always been physical to a fault. Abeg who dey talk say Ebuehi no fit? The goals came from his angles cos of the space...... But that goal started from a stupid clearance from the CBs. I'm sure Shehu will always be a starter.... he's more Bellerin-ic than Ebuehi. Not taking anything from Ebuehi atall. As for striker, can't we find one that would play the Benzema style for the GWG; scoring isn't necessary but opening others up is.... 1 Like |

Calling new faces was the ish many had on this thread 100s of pages back, and now its resurfaced. That time those calling for it were hit at, etc, unaware they were just on the damage control levels. Now that damage no kon get control again now, na to dey call new face just 77days to go? issokay. Meanwhile I'm still on the stance of "anything to make us successfu" even if it involves calling back Amokachi. ![]() 1 Like |

tbaba1234:If Rohr doesn't have confidence in Agbo why continue invitation,likely a powerful man in NFF or agent is forcing Agbo on Rohr cos something is fishing. Remember Agbo was dropped from the team against Cameroon or South Africa but after few days of releasing the list he was recalled,something is wrong somewhere and better for Rohr to act fast cos we can't be wasting space when we have players who are eager to play for Nigeria. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:The question is do we have a fantastic team to accommodate very average keeper. I think this post is just to tell fans that he was better than Dosu Joseph at Atlanta 96. A good team need solid keeper and clearly we don't have a team that can absorbed unnecessary pressure,so better to have a good keeper. 3 Likes |

Looolll... I just knew you will take it like that because you know about how Emma Babayaro was dropped for Dosu Joseph. History classes again. ![]() But still I believe He is saying the truth. Dosu Joseph was so average and not fantastic at all. Yet we win Olympic gold. We had a team that kinda managed to cover for his deficiencies. Now do we currently have a team that can cover for our keeper's frailties since we are not taking a top class keeper to the mundial? I would say yes... Not entirely a super fantastic team but a very disciplined one that can beat anyone when at their best. In the Balogun-Ekong partnership, we have quite a solid defence and our fullbacks are also good to go. They are not world class but they have shown they can do an effective job of protecting the goalie. What we need is a good bench to back up the first XI in those key positions and I believe we will present a good bench at the mundial. In all, I am not downplaying the importance of a top class goalie.... Honestly, having such will be a huge asset for us, but again I have seen where teams win even with goalies not being top class. Atlanta 96 comes to mind. Even Barca with Victor Valdez when he was quite average (or maybe slightly above average as time went on) still conquered the world. ![]() Kog45: |

Lol... I know you do naa. I have also read the whole story. ![]() Our present first choice defensive pair protected Uzoho against Poland and protected Ezenwa against Cameroun. They did same for Akpeyi against Mahrez and Algeria. This is why I say our team can cope without a world class keeper. Dosu was not fantastic yet we won Olympic Gold. Kog45: |

Farzat: I'm not sure how you come to this deduction. Are you saying all leagues are the same. So Tunisian, Isreali, leagues are now on par with the top leagues in Europe. The EPL is a top league actually rated second in Europe by UEFA ranking system. So now the 2nd tier of the European league system is now on par with Tunisian and Isreali league.

daveP: Let's face the facts we are taking to the World cup a striker who has scored once in the EPL. That does not inspire overwhelming confidence. We have a front man who at times seems not to be on top of his game. Compare Mitrovic a supposedly lowly championship striker to our guys. See the panic the guy cause us. In actual fact we were lucky he could have scored 4 considering the goal that was wrongly disallowed it was over the line. Players go to the world cup on the back of current form not hoping to catch form in the world cup. If things get complicated who do you bring off the bench to lead the line. We need strength in depth. We should have used the friendly games to have tested at least 6/7 strikers or at least had them camp. But no we are recycling and rebounding. How can Musa who was struggling in Leicester U23 now all of a sudden become prolific. That's why I called for Obagoal Ideye, etc experience proven tested and consistent over the past 10 years. If it was so easy to get big bucks in China and score. I'm sure considering the disgusting money they pay all the Nigerian origin players in Turkey , Isreal, Norway, Austria, etc would all be there now if they could. 1 Like |

komekn:Which brings to the fore that irrespective of where you ply your trade, if you play consistently, then you're good enough for the team. cos I can't but agreeo this fact. See this team needs good players that deliver. Truly we all may have favourites here and there. But if we need to get goals at the mundial, we need a striker. Okay let's imagine a scenario where the players we look down on come and perform, won't we be the same peeps that would start praising them, and digging up their history as though it was just yesterday? That's why I don't mind Obagoal coming back. Cos even Ighalo isn't crafty in front of goal as he is.... Anyone on here who without Mikel, or with Mikel playing, Put their money in Ighalo to lead our attack come Russia, that's an anti -GWG. Don't even bring up Musa. He is a flashbang. Your points are noted. But whatever the case may be..... I wished we tried out some strikers as much as our attention is on the Goalkeeping issue. 1 Like |

Keep clamouring for obafemi martin. Make I yarn you the real matter... you see the way the distance from naija to Australia far and long? Na so the chances of obagoal invitation to the team be, so don’t waste your time. He is an expired striker for super eagles. Why not clamour for yakubu? Or Osazee?. Nacho will bang in goal in Russia. I think we need third striker in the person of Cyril desser. 4 Likes |

Kog45: I concur, I agree unreservedly without any question. Firstly, are they proven and tested or are they just showing future potential. With respect the Egyptian league is not Seria A and neither is the Nigerian league. We need CURRENT not future prospects but players that are game changers or are showing in a quality League not just potential but ability. Can I add are they currently better than Ideye or Obagoal. What are the best option for Nigeria right now in terms of tried and tested quality forward players ![]() 1 Like |

kellycute: Why is he Obagoal expired ![]() I am sure you must watch numerous football analysts on TV. And the first question that comes up is your current form not your past form. Defoe was excellent for Sunderland and a definite for the world cup last season but injury has put him out of reckoning. England will not take an off form striker to the World cup infact most serious countries will not. I do agree that Cyril Dresser should be tested before selected and has far more justification for a call up than Junior Ajayi. Is Dresser prolific is he better than Obagoal younger definitely but better ![]() The Eredivisie is ranked in world football lower than the Chinese league. In addition the Eredivisie is the easiest league to score in among the top twenty football leagues in Europe. |
