Sir do we need to accommodate Ighalo and Simy at the same time. Why not Ighalo first half and Simmy second half cos the two should be rival for starting beth as CF or what do you think

Truidstar:
Brother, na wetin I observe o. Na Rohr go answer your question.

eterisan:
elder I have asked the question since morning and forgiveness and komekn cannot answer me. At least their silence proves that they have no point in criticizing nwakali's call up for the athletico game or 35 man list.. Wherever they saw such list.

I will still ask for the third time.... Now it is an open question for everyone .... Is there any special talent midfielder currently of Naija decent both home and abroad that deserves it more than nwakali to be called to the national team just to train... Post Russia...... I really want to learn.... I am waiting..

Forgiveness and komekn should hide their face in shame... I cannot wait for dust to settle.

OMANBALA1:


What if VicMo did not shine, does that mean the Eagles can't fly ?

Icon4s:


So where does Iwobi fit into?

Icon4s:


Hahaha egbon ask him o.

OMANBALA1:


With the quartet Ighalo, Mikel, Simmy and VicMo we have a forward line that if they gell properly na murder be that....Olorun!

TheGoodJoe:


They hid their faces.

krattoss:
Own goal is reporting that Simon Moses is back in training.. Although is not yet confirmed..

But if true, wahala dey

eterisan:
egbon why wait for dust to settle. Did you wait before you and komekn stunk up this place with your negative prejudice about nwakali. Simple question you both can't answer. It is like you both think you are smarter than everyone here.

I don't want to reveal private stuff about myself, but I can tell you that I am one of the best in what I do and as a trained teacher I definitely know how to structure questions and target a specific point.

If you and bros komekn cannot give us just a name of one Nigerian player, foreign born or Naija born who is a special talent midfielder who deserves to be called up at this moment to just train with the national team.... Then I am sorry to say you should keep quiet [no shut the phuck up]. Never ever you criticise nwakali's call up again since you have nothing better to present. Good luck to you.

forgiveness:


Really! Mr smarty! Lmao!

A living dog is better than a dead Lion.

Special talent that was demoted to a second after he couldn't demostrate his special talent in Eredivise. I see.

Oga, Abdul Ajagun and Ebere Eze are likened to the living dogs doing well in their clubs at the moment.

We are talking about a living dog at the moment.

Hope Nwakali shows himself in a decent league but for now he is just a prospect. Thanks

Joebie:
I just want to see a good game on Saturday. The boys need to show understanding on the pitch and play as a unit. I’ll be very satisfied if they can demonstrate that. Croatia are watching keenly. I want them to see areas they would think they can exploit only to be surprised on d-day

Icon79:
Haha!! Historians in the house.

And by the way, Croatia is playing Brazil on Sunday so let's see what they got because they didn't impress me one bit in their first two friendly matches at all.


O pari

Mujtahida:

Chemistry. Flow. Rhythm. These are the things I want to see on display not the ratchy-patch patch football like craw craw on the skin of a malnourished child that we've played in three friendlies now.

Joebie:
We’ve not seen that since that Argentina friendly. I want to believe they still have that mojo in them

Mujtahida:

That was precisely what was playing in my mind. Do you know how many times I watched that Argy friendly? It was like a moving work of Art - real motion picture. I watched it to stupor.

Obi Mikel On Rohr's High Standards: If You Don't Train Properly, You Are Leaving Camp
Published: May 31, 2018


Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel has credited the national team manager, Gernot Rohr with the upturn in fortunes for the team as a result of his insistence on certain high standards while acclaiming his strict disciplinary measures.

Prior to the appointment of the German two years ago, Nigeria had lost much of their fear factor after failing to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 AFCON tournaments while struggling to create a better team for international assignments.

Mikel has described the 64-year old's influence on the team as "radical change" since his installation, having overseen the team in qualification for their sixth World Cup appearance and also trying to imbue the importance of team work in such a young squad.

"The coach and myself, as captain, have tried to make these young players realise that we are a team, not individuals," Mikel stated in an interview with the Guardian UK

"If you don't want to play together, you are welcome to leave. It's amazing now to go to camp. You can feel the good feelings.

"I have been in the national team since 2005 and I haven't seen this discipline before. It is meetings, being on time, the training.

''Sometimes a player has the hump because he knows he is not going to make the team and, before in the national team, he just strolls around.

''Now, you have to train properly. If you don't, you are leaving the camp. The coach has changed the whole mentality."

It is a forgone conclusion that the 31-year old will be leading out the Super Eagles in Russia next month for his second World Cup outing and only missed out of the 2010 edition due to injury.

Ighalo on the right, Simmy cf and vicmo LW. Yes, I will go with mujtaa.
My boyz wan show themselve. Fear Naija. Whenever we are ready to play do not doubt us. How many goals has England scored in their last eight matches. Kane =ighalo, raheem= moses Mikel>Ali Lotus cheek= Ndidi Radford= Iheanacho. Iwobi> delph. So what's the hype for.
I have just one moniker, we loss I leave trust me .

Martz101:


always about kayode, was he the only one that wad not picked

i never mentioned anything club pedigree and performance but did kayode better than those in camp.

Bros high blood pressure is real o

OMANBALA1:


Mujtahida did not arrange the players , OdenigboAroli did...lol.

TheGoodJoe:
Uzoenyi was magical in the CHAN. His inclusion in the 2014 World Cup squad was well earned. Anyone who watched him in the CHAN under Keshi, will not blame Keshi's choice of carrying him. We are talking of a player who took a blow on the field, passed out, revived on the pitch and continued playing.

That is how passionate the guy was for the green white green Jersey. He was dropped from the final list but Echiejile's injury gave him the chance to make it.

Him not blossoming does not make the choice wrong. Heck, an experience Yobo had problems in the same mundial.

Del Piero was the most lethal finisher in the Champions League in 97-98 season but flopped on the big stage in France 98.

Even big players like Messi Flop in games.
