Ebuehi is quicker off d blocks. It gives him a very big advantage over quick wingers. Shehu doesn't have it, more so shehus positioning is always suspect. Sorry people will attack me, but its d truth. I pray he plays against England. Then we will have a clearer view.

Both are good in their own way.

There's nothing wrong in having personal targets. He will need club football to earn his daily bread.

Actually it's not even a personal target. You guys don't get it

ROhr went for big name players, who unfortunately are not creatives. The creative ones neglected play in lesser fancied teams and countries. He will just have to fashion out a system to suit what he has.

That's exactly the issue. The creative ones are unrecognized because of where they play. That's what triggers the team's lack of creativity.

Usman Muhammad scores

goldfish80:


This is exactly what I mean. Even Kwado Asamoah was turned to a left-back. He used to be a very good attacking midfielder.

Don't forget Moses at Chelsea. Its disheartening.

Too many workmen on the pitch. It's never going to be pleasing on the eye.

Nigeria's World Cup squad: Who's in, who's out?
DAMI UGBANE, KWESÉESPN
4:08 PM


After Nigeria's 1-1 draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday, KweséESPN run the rule over the Super Eagles' likely World Cup squad.


Goalkeepers: For a third game in a row, Francis Uzoho started in goal, earning his fourth Nigeria cap.

The Deportivo La Coruna shot stopper looked assured, which was an improvement on his performance in the March friendlies.

Based on the Eagles' line-up in the last three friendlies, Uzoho looks to have earned the nod and trust of the coaching crew to be the starting goalkeeper at the World Cup.

Who plays backup? Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi, barring any last-minute injuries, should make the team to Russia.

The pair have earned consistent invites over the last two years under Gernot Rohr, and their experience should also count for something.

Who misses out? Dele Ajiboye, an excellent goalkeeper on his day, will likely get the chop.

Despite an eye-catching performance against Sudan in the semi final of the African Nations Championship, his inability to upstage Ezenwa as the home-based Eagles' number one might ultimately have cost him.



Defenders: One of the easier selections to make based on the team's line-up in recent games. Rohr appears to want two specialists for each position, so Nigeria are likely to take eight defenders to Russia.

The usual suspects Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Shehu Abdullahi and Elderson Echiejile realistically appear set to be Nigeria's starting defence against Croatia.

Kenneth Omeruo, who has being in good form with Kasimpasa, came off the bench against the DRC and he still awaits his first international start since March 2017.

Like Joseph Yobo four years ago, Omeruo's spot in the squad isn't secure, but his international experience should see him on the plane, particularly considering that Balogun is prone to injury.

Chidozie Awaziem, Brian Idowu and Tyronne Ebuehi should complete the defensive unit.

The new Benfica right-back, in particular, has gradually come into his element, impressively settling down in the international setup.

Hopefully, Ebuehi should shake off the cramp which led to his substitution against Congo and feature in his first World Cup.

Who misses out? Stephen Eze, who was a late call-up to the team, should miss out, and hasn't yet featured under Rohr.

Ola Aina didn't help his case for an inclusion in the World Cup party on Monday. The Chelsea man was unnecessarily casual on the day, careless in possession, and gave away a needless foul which resulted in a penalty.

Could he have lost out to Idowu, who is more business-like in his approach and also offers versatility.



Midfielders: Captain John Obi Mikel is a certainty, and the Tianjin TEDA man should be joined by vice-captain Ogenyi Onazi, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, John Ogu, Joel Obi and Mikel Agu.

However, Obi and Agu might find themselves competing for a final spot, depending on how many forwards Rohr wants to take to Russia.

Who misses out? For whatever reason, Uche Agbo is yet to add to his solitary international cap earned against Togo 11 months ago, despite being in the team consistently since October 2016.

Forwards: Odion Ighalo, Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa are comfortably the men expected to lead the goalcharge in Russia.

New boys Simy Nwankwo and Junior Lokosa both had impressive debuts against Congo, and might not necessarily be in direct competition for a single spot, due to their individual qualities.

The Crotone man appeared to have sealed his place in the final 23 as he stands out with his unique playing style, while Rohr's decision to play Lokosa in a wide role suggests that he could be a contender to replace the injured Moses Simon.

Who misses out? Simon would have been in contention for a starting role had he been fit, but injury has denied him the chance to appear in a maiden major tournament.

Ola Aina is more versatile in defense than Chidozie Awaziem. Remember Awaziem's school boy mistakes against South Africa. Ola Aina can play well in several positions. Joel Obi & Junior Lokosa should compete for one spot. Drop Uche Agbo & Mikel Agu.

MetalJigsaw:
Moses, Nacho, Ndidi, Tyrone, Joel, Musa. Even Mikel no dey for better club now. So you're absolutely ignorant about our team. Shame on you. you can now sneak back to wherever you popped up from. Bye bye

This dude is one pessimist full of blames, for goodness sake Lok has only played once for SE and was played out of his natural position and you expect him to wow you? Furthermore our dysfunctional league cannot produce wow players any longer unlike in the past.
So Ezeji should cut Lok some slack I beg

Lokosa was among our good performers yesterday. He may not make the final list, but dropping him now will not be a good look .

Mujtahida:

We will miss S. Moses no doubt. And if you notice he combines well with Vicmo.

But before he got injured he wasn't this appreciated.

somehow:
Okay but has never been used or tried by Rohr. sometimes i wonder why he keeps calling the lad.

i wonder too...maybe after worldcup we will find out

Joebie:

I con blow some steam since I know say naija nr dy go anywhere

Mujtahida:

No doubt we are more organised defensively but attack wise we are blunt.

I don't agree with you about our attack. Moses, Ighalo and Mikel's presence can birth goals for the team. Go check the games they've played together.
