against Cameroon in uyo victor moses was just our killer man/talisman with his trick and pace..against Poland without Mikel he was jus carrying the team on his shoulder with all his direct run at defenders, against Serbia he was also lively immediately dey pulled him out in d second half dem knack us 2-0, against Egypt home and away he was just terrorising..even in keshi era victor moses was unplayable.. his deflected shot led us to our 3rd afcon trophy, against Ethiopia he single handedly qualified us to quarter final...abeg make una free dat guy....if he had rejected naija and played for england una for kno wetin una miss in such a player..because no mata his conduct england will worship him to the highest heaven...they will just give him the hazard role in the 3lions squad

Thank you for pointing out the positives cos I don't buy this idea of looking at a player's game just from the angle of his 'selfishness'. What about his contributions? What about the match against Algeria? We can point out his deficiencies but let's balance it with his positives. Some criticisms are actually just perceptions. Even if the player does otherwise our minds are made up.

Starting Line-up

NGA V DRC Starting XI:

Uzoho; Ebuehi, Ekong, Balogun, Echiejile; Onazi, Etebo, Joel Obi; Lokosa, Iheanacho, Simy


Like i said: Etebo, Iheanacho, Simy and Lokosa to start.

Who is playing attacking midfield ?

tbaba1234:


Not true, We could have rapped up qualification in Yaounde but Moses was at his selfish best that day.. He is still a vital player though. He makes things happen..

Toh, at least let me concede that he's selfish but he is responsible for opening up the defence of the opposition and he has done that consistently.

OMANBALA1:


Who is playing attacking midfield ?

I think Etebo with Joel and Onazi behind,,

andrew444:


Simon will not be at the World Cup ? Where did you get the news ?

Etebo playing at left wing ? You must be kidding.

Open eyes. Etebo plays there mostly.

Last season stats

OMANBALA1:


If Nacho is not in the team who would ? From early on Nacho showed what he is made of and a lot of responsibility was placed on the young man. He struggled and did it with grace and class. The boy is young with alot of years ahead of him,he went through a rough patch at Man City where he was not considered and that had affected his confidence. Saying that he is lucky to be in the team is ridiculous. Listen, he is your MOST potent HITMAN!

Very lucky. The team was down by a goal and it took him so long to leave the pitch that a south African had to tell him to move faster. I love Iheanacho as much as any green blooded Nigerian and I have even told the boy that in person but wrong is wrong. His action that day was very unprofessional

Kayode....in sir forgiveness voice

Once their minds are made up against a player you can never convince them otherwise. It's like a religious belief.

asin eehn d tin tire me oo bro

Simon Moses is out for 4 weeks, wish him quick recovery.. He is still relatively young and could play in the next WC depending on how the up coming talents develop.

But y exactly is AGBO NOT STARTING TMAO

Will he go to Russia wout kicking a ball?

Joebie:
Ighalo as winger will be like us playing Moses as wing back. His goals return for SE is not great even as a CF. playing him at the wing will be a big minus like u already insinuated
It’s up to Rohr to pick from outside the 30

If we don't play this guys where they are supposed to be na there our failure go start from. Players wey dey struggle to play their correct positions, we wan go put them for position wey dem never try and for WC match oo.

Who kicked simon moses in training... Both of them shld b replaced as punishment

Forget matter my brother,Iheanacho is a very young boy ooo. It was obvious he was frustrated not just by his lackluster performance on that day but his club career was also shaky. This was too much for young man of his age and it takes a wise person to see that. Remember I was one of Iheanacho worst critics when Good Joe and Nerd were keeping confidence in him despite his once famous BAD FIRST TOUCH. Lets not forget what that boy has gone through but remained strong and positive. I remember when Forgiveness was mocking him him and calling him a bench warmer

Kalapizim:
Hmmm this is also a nice suggestion oh, I have even forgotten ebuehi has stats as one of the best dribblers in the dutch league coupled with pace and technique too. Supernerd, icon4 and Thegoodjoe what do you make of this super secret weapon idea.

Forget that role jare. Dis na World Cup

Rohr might bring him in as sub. It 'd be nice

James Tarkowski has been taken out of Engalnd's stand-by list because of a groin injury.

minfelix:
I think victor moses should get injured and miss the world cup so that some people can rest here...I've bin silently following people's comment here about that its jus becoming something else..some 1 said "I becoming to hate victor moses", some will say he's too selfish, you people just wanna force gernot rohr to have issues with him by all means..a top class player with a top class club na him una jus dey run down for here, some are even wishing onyekuru to displace him in SE squad...e be like say una kno no say afta Mikel,onazi,musa na moses follow for that team...he's selfish, he's a bully bla bla bla!!! God has given us such a direct opponent running down player yet na so so bad mouth ppl dey bad mouth am

Victor Moses is our Messi or Ronaldo to Argentina and Portugal respectively.

tbaba1234:
No player outside the 30 can be added to the team. The absence of Simon Moses is a blow because it limits our wing options. Kelechi Iheanacho has been deployed on the wings in training and has been the most impressive player in training so far.

I don't think this is true oo cos Argentina invited De Guzman who wasn't in the early list as replacement for Romero

Seems you missed my point. I am not holding anything against him I am just letting you know how I think Moses became the number one set piece taker.

nelszx:

Yes, you can call players outside the 30..

Me no too de like this friendly line-up. Agbo and Agu no de there.

Make God protect the rest from Injury.

Oasis007:




Didn't know much about him though, but just hoping he makes the Final List as a Boost for the NPFL Players.

I wouldn't mind to play Ebuehi on the Wing to be candid. He's technical, pacy and can dribble. Ryan Sessegnon started the Season as a FB for Fulham, but eventually gets converted to a Wing-Forward.

Gareth Bale also started his Career as a LB, but Today he's a deadly Winger. Ebuehi is kinda too light as a Defender. He can be bullied by strong Wingers. I would rather exploit his technicality, Skills, Pace and Brilliance as a Winger.

Ebuehi on the wings? Has he ever played out on the wings? It's WC we are going to ooo. I don't think it's at the WC that we would now do a Gareth Bale on Ebuehi. The stakes are too high and in addition there is no guarantee for the outcome.

As for being bullied, we will see him tomorrow.

OMANBALA1:

me too no understand.

Mujtahida:

I like his example but I no dey for Lokosa oo. I wish him all the best but I don't see him living up to the bill

Hahahahahaha!

If I say I dey for d lad, I lie no be small.

forgiveness:


Hahahahahaha!

If I say I dey for d lad, I lie no be small.

I no dey for am. I dey hide since but make I talk am oha: I no dey for Lokosa oo

Ebuehi actually started out as a winger when he was younger before he was converted to a full back.

kellycute:
of course. I was so angry when he bullied nacho during the friendly match. He nor gree let nacho play free kick at all. I’m starting to dislike Victor Moses.

Una mouth just dey run any how, he bully nacho

mank1234:


Years down the line this event will be remembered less significantly while the Real Madrid team coached by Zidane will be referred to in history as the greatest team ever, even though we know that they are not.

You say. Common man check the statistics.

Okay but na WC we go come go reconvert am. Shey we can see how important every player is. Just an injury to Simon Moses and the permutations are hard to come up with.

MetalJigsaw:
Forget that role jare. Dis na World Cup

that's the point, opposition teams may not see it coming.

Sebastian Ogenna Osigwe with his father.

His club won the division 3 title in Switzerland. Another goalkeeper to keep an eye on post WC.

I did not suggest that but it is possible if we are defending a game.
