Joebie:
alright.. well Rohr will be inviting 30. It seems there would be room for a few forwards. At this point, I don't expect any surprises in the final 23.

I believe FIFA requires a 35 man list submitted.

safarigirl:
Ighalo and Musa in 3-5-2?

We must be aiming for a loss or draw then

The 3-5-2 we used against Argentina is the best.....and I love the way y'all are throwing in fourth choice goalies. We are still doing fantasy teams less than two months to the World Cup, cool.

Na wa, we dey lose to Iceland with that lineup

chrisooblog:
well on lesson 1 yes onigbinde wasn't directly responsible but it can be argued that chief festus was the hatchet man used to push the ''mafia'' out

which door did he open by arrogantly saying they should call him first? if oga onigbinde really wanted them oliseh crew back he would have called them. when rohr came on board didn't you read that he called enyeama?

enyeama has been called people have intervened to speak with him. the ball was/is in his court

lesson 4? debatable read what i wrote for lesson 1

lesson 5 true true

lesson 6 it happens even loving couples fight it's how to manage it that is the issue

1. Because that was the task given to him to do by the authority. There's nothing to argue about.

2. The boss dictates. Therefore, it's the arrogant players that should be blamed, not Onigbinde, because from that interview, the information to play for Nigeria under the condition to call Onigbinde to reiterate their interest in the world cup came from the NFF camp or Super Eagles' camp.

This shows that their was room for the arrogant players to come back to the team on the condition to humble themselves but as usual, they showed they were not ready to be submissive to the authority. GBAM

Do Oliseh and his crews have two big heads?

You can see how the keeper humbled himself and called the coach. Was he dropped?

Was he called? No

Was there sign he was wanted before he called? No

EOD

Arsene Wenger could be moving to PSG according to some reports today.

Everything going peacefully , no e fights my fellow egulians I hail una

Joebie:
Two things you should have taken note of if you really followed the aguments here (or let me rather say my side of the argument):

1. The call for the dropping of Musa, Echeijiele didn't start today. Hence, following the context, the argument was of the idea that Rohr should have made SE more competitive by opening the door to a wider pool of PERFORMING players thereby not making the regular starters and benchwarmers too comfortable.

2. The timing demands that we name a list of 35 players before May 14. This wide list would definitely create room for some fresh players, or like some of you would say "there would be a few surprises".

Today, Germany has a great depth in the team not only because they have abundant talents, also because they demand excellence from all the players at all times - at least that's the atmosphere they've tried to promote. If we'd always had that kind of atmosphere players would know that their making the final 23 requires consistent performance even at club level. However, what we have now is players -- SE regulars inclusive -- making a statement few days to the world cup. The unknowns are suddenly scoring, and even the SE regulars seem to be saying "ignore what they are doing, we can also do it too, if not better".. ya dig?

And I guess what i just said is in line with your last paragraph.

Well just so you know, there is no argument I dont follow in here (except for the yabis part)..... if you ask me, the issue of who to invite so as to compete with shirts only started a couple of months ago. Off the top of our heads our starting 11 was somehow fixed, barring unforeseen circumstances and so we kinda went very comfortable for a long stretch until Lukaemia took out Carl Ikeme from the picture, until Mikel, Leon Balogun and Moses got injured at the same time just before the match against South Africa. This call for substitution of players now is a little too late in my opinion. Unless the player in question has got the X-Factor, aint no reason to upset what we have presently. If from the start of 2016 (cos I believe Oliseh resigned in February or so) at the time of contracting Rohr, if he had scouted a large pool of players, then we probably would have known where we are heading long ago. This is where I fault the scouting system of the National team.

Lets also keep in mind that players suddenly started upping their game close to the world cup cos they now feel there is a fighting chance.

But as I said in my post earlier, the Over reliance on starting 11 is what got us here. Nobody wan imagine am say Ighalo dey bench for Iheanacho. In fact if VicMo shows up late for camping, he must start.

Thankfully, the difference between 2014 squad and 2018 squad is that while the former had only starting 11, the latter can boast of a starting 25 albeit discovering more and more daily.

Back to the issue on ground. I say again, this call for new players should be suspended till after the world cup. Like TheGoodJoe once said about having over 100 players in camp and prunning them, while that seems laudable it is practically EXPENSIVE! (although that probably will work in age grade competitions).

Lets see if this good work of Rohr will continue after the Mundial. I sincerely hope we keep him though for the next 4years so he can develop his model to fruition

oga boss, where have you been ? we havnt seen you at that thread.

Humility017:


you are talking shallow...prior the Argentina game how many free kicks has nancho ever took for the super eagles....
in case you dont know...during the under 17 tourney nancho and musa Mohammed were saddled wit the responsibility of taking free kicks for the team.....

meaning there must be something manu garba must have seen in the young lad that made him saddle him with such responsibility

I notice you can't discuss football without insults, your hypocritic mind notice manu garba must have seen something in nacho in training before giving him and Mohammed the responsibility but that same mind didn't notice Rohr must have seen something your short sighted eyes didn't see in training too that made him give him such responsibility.

tbaba1234:


I believe FIFA requires a 35 man list submitted.

England is going to name a 23 man squad with 4 alternates according to Gareth South gate. Dont think it must be 35.

We are basically saying the same thing.. Since Rohr will be inviting just 30 Players, there isn't really much room for new players, unless we intend to drop the proven ones. However, there would be definitely slots for 2 or 3 new players in the 30 man list to slug it out with the already established.. Hence, there would still be calls by some for the inclusion of this or that in that list. It's inevitable.

Yes, that's the case. But Rohr said he would invite 30. I want to believe the stipulation is at most 35.

then why haven't what rohr sees in training being made manifest for we all to see in the open whenever they get to play...

from all the reports so far in camp...have you ever heard Moses scores from set piece....

I quote that manu garba stance...just to counter your lame beliefs that rohr who does and see no wrong.....must have see something extraordinary in Moses to have saddled him the duty to always take free kicks.

that your first sentence made no sense at all...just dont wanna toil your line this evening.....

sorry with due respect to chief festus what had he achieved in the Nigerian landscape that he should arrogantly appropriate to himself the authority to tel players to call him

After he was appointed did oliseh n co say that they didn't want to play for nigeria again that necessitated them being treated like school kids

As much as sunday and co also made some bad decisions they were unjustly chased away from the national team with chief festus as the hatchet man

If it is true that the powers that be in the nigerian football federation did not want Vincent in the team again by using oliseh to chase him away then forgiveness I put it to you that you are being hypocritical if you say that it wasn't the case in onigbinde's time

Dedebanky85:
There's a difference between direct freekick and in-Player cross. What Moses attempted was to cross for a header. Although, Mikel (Ighalo) whoever it was, was not offside, but their movement impaired the goalie's view.
That attempt should not be categorized under freekick but rather a cross.

Correct

This Siasia na only national team he wan coach?

Who disbanded the team? Festus Onigbide or the Government?

When was the team disbanded? Before or after Onigbide took over?

Then after you must have gotten the answer, who was higher? Oliseh and his cohort, Fetus Onigbide or the Nigerian government?

About what Onigbide achieved in his coaching career within and outside Nigeria, it is better you google it or ask sir KOG4

So from the lengthy write up you didnt notice reason why Shorumu joined the team and he was not even happy with the team.

So after all finidi, oliseh and the rest had done for Nigeria you expect them to call the coach and beg for a call up, is just like asking Mikel to call and ask for a call up
