Moses is not bad with the free-kick too, when the free-kick is in the left then them is more suited for v.Moses and right will be for Simon and kelechi, also remember that both of them are not sure started compare to v.moses




At this rate, we need to set aside sentiments and allow whoever has better accuracy to take them free kicks and penalties. If I had to choose between KC and VicMo, I would choose KC and thats because he is business minded. Moses is a lil heady and tends to get away with some wayward plays just because he makes Chelsea tick. I think Icons4s was right that we dont utilize our set pieces well. Of what use are set pieces when we dont convert?

Please note guys.... I am not a VicMo hater. I just hate the fact that he gets caught in his own world. He needs to start playing with the team and for the team. I sincerely hope and pray he works on this aspect cos Naija peeps arent so forgiving. You dont believe me? ASK YAKUBU! That Yak miss was all that was needed for Naija to be ousted from 2010 world cup.

People easily key into what pays as of now English football pays.....Money wise and fan base you just have to give it to them... football is turning into business even the five aside I use to play back then to even secure spot now I have to forget entertainment or else na bench get me.... even

Unfortunately my friend, you are super right. Football now is no longer an art, its about winning. Offside goal, harsh tackles and unfair officiating are the order of the day and sadly, thats what EPL has to offer.

Check out Michael Oliver's handling of Real Madrid Vs Juve 2nd leg match of the UCL. Ludicrous to say the least.

Simon-Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho too na one good freekick, na. grin
That's not true. Simon has scored many free kicks at club side while Nacho has been no doubt a good Free kick taker

The Tammy i watched against Man utd was solid cos in the space of 10 minutes De Gea had three wonderful saves from him that would have beat any keeper.

The guy with his age is good and look promising.

Oh doesn't deserve Nigeria bench?no comment.
So why has he been warming the bench?

Oga, calm down....His future is not bleak...

Can we wait to see the new manager first?

Victor Moses was not regarded by the Chelsea mangers until Conte... Iwobi could thrive under a new coach.. He has the ability.
Iwobi "could" thrive is under probability you know.

Is Iwobi doing well? It's a simple NO.
Please let's be realistic here. Stop being biased.

how many free kicks has Moses scored for Nigeria....?
I can bet had Moses Simon or nancho being privileged to play some of those free kicks he keeps missing...it would have been well converted..
it took nancho just one free kick to make a statement in the match against Argentina I doubt if Victor Moses could score that.

I wonder why peeps here try to defend iwobi when he is being criticised on twitter
look at welbeck for example he has been one of the most criticised arsenal player but recently he has improved and the fans are beginning to like him

28 games out of a possible 34 we can say safely say he has played in the vast majority of thier games. Is that a bench warmer or a reserve player to you.

For a striker his goal tally has been abysmal only 5 goals in the EPL. Simply bit good enough, however he brings more to the table in hold up play and driving the team forward. Plus a few assists.

I think Moses scored a FK in the Afcon qualifier against Cameroon that was ruled out as off even though mikel(the player that was off) didn't touch the ball.

The 23 players that are Most likely to make the final squad to the WC.

Believe it or not drawing this list is not as easy as it might seem.

Rohr can invite any 35 players from any where but baring any late withdrawals due to injuries, this is my predicted 23 players that will make the final list:

Goalkeepers
1. Francis Uzoho
2. Ikechukwu Ezenwa
3. Daniel Akpeyi

Defenders
4. William Troost-Ekong
5. Leon Balogun
6. Kenneth Omeruo
7. Chidozie Awaziem
8. Shehu Abdulahi
9. Tyrone Ebuehi
10. Brian Idowu
11. Elderson Echiejile

Midfielders
12. Wilfred Ndidi
13. Joel Obi
14. John Ogu
15. Mikel Obi
16. Oghenekaro Etebo
17. Ogenyi Onazi

Forwards
18. Alex Iwobi
19. Victor Moses
20. Moses Simon
21. Ahmed Musa
22. Kelechi Iheanacho
23. Odion Ighalo

Two players that have out-side chances but they will have to displace two players from the list above:

Dele Aiyenugba for Daniel Akpeyi (Dele likely to become first choice if Rohr does the needful)

Olaoluwa Aina for Elderson Echiejile (I feel for Aina but Echiejile's experience is a major advantage for him) Except we are going with 9 defenders but who will drop from the midfield or forwards. Besides, what are we doing with 3LBs in the WC?


So Chief Kog45 there you have it. You now understand why I would rather invite 25 and drop 2.


Nice and realistic list.

Watch him closely ke? is it not the same Tammy I watch? Come on, bro

Cant remember when last he even scored.
He doesn't even deserve our bench

Someone that was promised an automatic place in our World Cup Squad.. chai!

He scored in the last 3 matches he played.

Besides, he had his goal bound shots blocked in recent games.

Forget sentiments Tammy Abraham is good.

Actually, he has 8 goals and 5 assists from all competition. I don't think it is bad for an upcoming striker.

When I think back to the dark days when we did not have players in top leagues. Used to envy Ghana, Ivory coast and Mali then. Now we have players popping up every where. The future is indeed bright.
I think we will be the main favorites to win the next AFCON. It's ours to lose.
