Joebie:
It’s Lokosa. So now, since he can’t replace Simon, what next? Simy replaces Simon? That your stature logic is flawed. Lokosa will not go to Russia for obvious reasons and I’m not complaining. Is anyone arguing for his inclusion here? There are clear under-performers staring at our faces. Aina, and Echiejile are not WC materials. We need to be worrying about that and not Lokosa. Lokosa’s invitation was unnecessary. Nobody expected he will score a hart-trick. Even if he did “who will we drop him for?”

What do you mean since he can't replace Simon? isn't Simon injured?.

Stop judging Lokosa with the fact that he plays in Nigeria in mind. That's ridiculously unfair.

What happened to his rich vein of form and prolificacy in the NPFL and positive display against DR Congo?

forgiveness:



The lamentation is about the obvious corruption in the selection of players that have to do with nepotism, sentiment, na my brother, man know man. Etc.

The other day Rohr implication himself by telling that he was contacted by Simy's agent and before we know jack shit, Simy made the list. EOD

is simi not good?

Martz101:


you are been very bais, you started with giving excuse for Aina performance and now you are making us understand that Echiejile own should not be overlook cause of the field.

Aina played worldclass opponent against poland and serbia and nothing come out

K I don hear.. If Echiejile is better let's see what he can offer at the world cup...

goldfish80:


Come on! This is double standards. You hounded me for mentioning Osas who has better of any of these qualities you mentioned. You clearly love Aina and you're giving him a free pass.

Sir,Osas Okoro?cos all this while am looking at you.It was based on your recommendation that i needed to watch WAFU and later CHAN may be i will see better Osas but NO.

On Aina,i saw him in Chelsea some season ago and impressed but in national team not really impressed,am indifferent if Echiejile or Aina makes it even i don't see Idowu has better option cos he is not better than Echiejile of 2010-2014 but for now Echiejile has lost it.

Are you serious at all? But Ezenwa, Joel, Agu's invitations are necessary right?

which osas are you talking about? you guys will never seize to amaze me. can osas make the grade in a league 2 team? so aina made one mistake which is common in all aspect of life and now he is not good enough? aside shehu, ebuehi can you comfortably name a better right back than aina in nigeria? this kid is still learning the trade and its normal mistakes will be made during that process. aina remain an important figure in the current super eagles set if not for anything his ability to play in more than one position is testament to his importance.

Martz101:


so aina is better than Osas, i see no difference. with all the lecture and tutor Aina got from different world-class coach his still like this. if tgat boy here he won't make it as a footballer

Naughtytboy:
Agbo, Steven eze, locosa dropped

plus Akpeyi and Awaziem

Joebie:
MY 23-man list

---

Goalkeepers(3): Francis Uzoho, Dele Ajiboye, Ikechukwu Ezenwa.
Defenders( 8 ): William Troost Ekong, Leon Balogun, Chidozie Awaziem (make-shift LB), Kenneth Omeruo, Shehu Abdullahi, Tyrone Ebuehi, Brian Idowu, Uche Agbo

Midfielders(7): John Mikel Obi, Onyiye Ndidi, John Ogu, Alex Iwobi, Ogenyi Onazi, Mikel Agu, [**Etebo Oghenekaro**]

Forwards (6): Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo, Kelechi Ihenacho, Ahmed Musa, Simeon Nwankwo, [**Moses Daddy Simon**]

Etebo replaces Simon IF...else Etebo out.

Etebo is an asset, i can't drop Etebo

elyte89:




I didn't rubbish aina,


And did we force oursef too on himlet stop painting all dis unnecessary pictures,we re helping ainas career,not d oda way round

If u read in btw lines of my statement,I only said on d colours of GWG,he has not been spectacular,sir JOEBIE sighted d Zambia game,when he came in 6mins to d end of d game,he was fresh,so what did u expect

D following match he played against Algeria,what was his performance, was he better? He could have used d match to seal echiejiles fate in d super eagles, yet Rohr didn't trust aina and he kept inviting him for further games despite not using echiejile and him at d subsequent games?

Y did he bring idowu into d mix?




Its dt not enough evidence to tell u dt Aina is not better Dan echiejile?
I repeat,Aina is not better Dan echiejile.. Simple

Sorry Sir,Echiejile is better.

Martz101:


Etebo is an asset, i can't drop Etebo

Etebo will.never b dropped, except serious injury,God forbid

elyte89:



From day 1,I haven't seen anything spectacular abt aina as far as I am concerned. Majority here only have soft spot for him based on d fact dt he switched Nationals, not dt, he's a better option to echiejile


Like I av said b4,if aina were to b a thorough bred naija player,he wouldn't av made d 30man list to start with

I prefer dt utin udo to aina self

Who is this utin Udo?

Kog45:
Pls i want to ask you a question, did Aina forced himself on Nigeria cos you are comparing what is not comparable,Aina and Utin Udo.

Echiejile making the team would just be based on his experience and being part of the team,noting more.

And what a pity Echiejile is now slugging it out with Aina not even Idowu, just to tell you Echiejile is not in good form and not Echiejile of 2010-2014.

I watched Congo match all over again,if not for the fake penalty committed by Aina,he was better than Echiejile in that match.

Pls tell me simple thing Echiejile did in that match.

Rohr is the coach and if he believe Echiejile is better,good.All we need is better performance from our boys irrespective of who make the team.

But trying to rubbish one player to promote another is what i know as taunting analysis.

If you don't rate Aina simple,no offence cos as am typing this I don't rate Awaziem but i will not come here and say Eze is better than him cos i don't rate him.

Echiejile slugging it out with Aina is not bad, at some point yobo struggled with Omerou...

Aina need to improve if he get another opportunity

Martz101:


so aina is better than Osas, i see no difference. with all the lecture and tutor Aina got from different world-class coach his still like this. if tgat boy here he won't make it as a footballer

Osas actually has goals and assists for the CHAN eagles, Aina has has none.

Aina is a great prospect which the national team will reap the dividends in no distance time. for crying out loud he is just 21 and still has a long way to go. his time with hull was his first season as a professional footballer and he gave a good account of himself playing over 20 games. he is work in progress so discarding him just because he made a mistake in a match of no importance is a no no for me. am not saying he should be a starter in this current team but making to the world cup will aid his development and exposure for future engagements.also this will go along way give a lot of our european born lads who are good enough for the national team to have a rethink about changing committing to nigeria.

Kog45:
Sir,Osas Okoro?cos all this while am looking at you.It was based on your recommendation that i needed to watch WAFU and later CHAN may be i will see better Osas but NO.

On Aina,i saw him in Chelsea some season ago and impressed but in national team not really impressed,am indifferent if Echiejile or Aina makes it even i don't see Idowu has better option cos he is not better than Echiejile of 2010-2014 but for now Echiejile has lost it.

LieDetector:
I'm glad how people are beginning to realize Aina is another echiejile with dreadlocks . Honestly dude hasn't produced the prospects we all thought he had in him. He's by far performed below my expectations. I noticed this long ago but I didn't want to break it here so I wouldn't be tagged a hater. I just hope Idowu keeps producing the Argentina moments and never rest on his laurels. That would make our left back concerns less worrisome irrespective of who is chosen between Aina and Echiejile.

Even that Idowu I no trust

Joebie:
The Congo DR tie was not his second appearance. Let's not toy with that England friendly.

I'm torn between Joel Obi and Mikel Agu. One of them should be dropped.

if is between the two, i wilk pick Joel obi ahead of Agu

Joebie:
Well, I think he should go to London. I mean he deserves to go to London. I don't think he has the qualities of a winger.

OK. Since its very likely Rohr will pick 6 forwards. There's just a spot left. Who do you see filling the gap?

Moses
Musa
Ighalo,
Simy
Iwobi
? ? ?

daveP:
Two NPFL players gats make the list sha.

which law is that?

Kog45:
Sorry Sir,Echiejile is better.

Boss,echiejile no b my.broda ....I no even sabi any of his relative from.adam

But we don't av to shy away from d truth,


I shld put dis question straight to u boss

Sincerely,has Aina performance so far in GWG justified echiejile's exclusion from d team?

Meanwhile boss,always try to use a "friendly " tone to read all replies,we av divergent views on issues

Icon4s:


plus Akpeyi and Awaziem

Pls are you serious

Breeze don blow fowl yanch don show.

Nwakali on the 35 man list!? Tufiakwa! This country is a mess.

Someone wants to tell Rohr is not influenced.

Official!!!!

Stephen Eze, Dele Ajiboye , Uche Agbo and Junior Lokosa

Dropped

Kog45:
Joebie,why Uche Agbo

uche Agbo though not tested but is one of the few midfielders that can play in the defence comfortably...he was playing CB in Granada.

i just blame Rohr for not trying him out even for once and always get invited

Icon4s:


plus Akpeyi and Awaziem

Stephen Eze, Dele Ajiboye , Uche Agbo and Junior Lokosa

Officially dropped.

Luckyroro:
I don't want to see him in that team again. What annoys me most is how our complex-issues-journalists hype this mixed race players. I remember the hype that followed Aina's switch of nationality. For a moment I thought he was better than Kylian Mbappe, I didn't know he was refuse dumped by England. Let me tell you, even England Z team, Aina cannot make it.

um....Aina is not mixed race sir

hahahahahahahahahaha! sometimes i wonder why people like you allow sentiment to cloud your reasoning. can osas okoro make hull city's 2nd team let alone having enough minutes in a championship match? if aina is trash as you are insinuating why is he still in the book of london giants chelsea? do you know aina was one of our consistent defenders in Europe last season? pls aina is still young and still have alot to learn than your osas okoro who have been recycled by all the teams in the Nigerian league for the past 10 years. the only good talent i see in the local league is utin ikwomen who is the current under 20 skipper. i believe in no distance time he will be the undisputed leftback of the super eagles

bazooka1:


Osas actually has goals and assists for the CHAN eagles, Aina has has none.

Osas with Aina again

tbaba1234:

Aina, Stephen Eze, Dele Ajiboye , Uche Agbo and Junior Lokosa
Officially dropped.

A radio station has misinformed the masses then

tbaba1234:
Official!!!!

Aina, Stephen Eze, Dele Ajiboye , Uche Agbo and Junior Lokosa

Dropped

You mean Ajiboye? Aina is also out, but not yet 'official'

Joebie:
Hard decisions need to be taken.. Dropping any fringe player is not a hard decision. Dropping one of the players that qualified us is.

Is that not sentiment?

Kog45:
Pls are you serious

Was misinformed by a radio station

Neimar:


gone 're the days I support this Nigerian team
right from my teenage days naxoxo heartbreak

But this thread is for SE supporters. Now respect yourself and leave. We already have difficulties arguing with negative supporters everyday so pls dont add to d distraction. WC is around d corner and we only need constructive analysis of d selected players and d team in general.
