We are discussing the tactical formations posted by Joebie nawww.

No matter which tactical formation, Iwobi is a starter.

Training

Awaziem is tall. Mikel looking crisp

PDPGuy:

In that case, I think one of Etebo or Joel Obi will be dropped because the coach ‘loves’ Mikel Agu. As we know, Iwobi can also be used as the AM if need be.

Rohr love all the players.

The same Agu was dropped from Poland and Serbia games until he was recalled against Serbia due to Etebo injury.

Do not be surprised if he failed to make it.

Mikel agu was left out/opted out of the Poland game because he had to renew his passport. It was travel problems that made him miss the friendly.

I think Ogu might be dropped. It looks like Joel Obi is the preferred choice in the absence of Ndidi. That means that the last midfield slot goes to Agu or Ogu.

Abeg, we can call it sentiments or whatever, for the life of me let Ogu taste WC abeg ooo. Na beg I dey beg. Mikel Agu is still young and can make 2022 cos after now both Ogu and Onazi will likely drop out of the SE set up and thus create space for him in the midfield.

tbaba1234:


They qualified from the toughest group in Africa with 1 game to spare. They almost did it with 2 games to spare. When last has a Nigerian team done that?

They have produced results so far when it mattered.

buy your blood pressure drugs ....you will need it when group stage exit occurs

Ogu was present at the last world cup

Icon4s:


I don't know why they have been running away from this fact.

Nobody runs away from this fact. It's a mute point. We are looking at effectiveness and the best position for him not whether he starts or not. Iwobi starting or not starting is not an issue for me particularly now that S. Moses is probably out of contention. The quality of his play is my concern. Till date you've not convinced me that Iwobi is effective on the wings. You just keep saying he is a starter. Starting is not gold. Effectiveness is. His career prospects, our WC prospects hinges not on whether he starts but on his effectiveness. No coach ever buys a player because he is a starter. Effectiveness is the premium quality coaches look for.

Once again proof to us that Iwobi is effective from the wings.

No he was not.

Super Eagles training.

I am impressed with the first two pictures of your amateur goalies feeling like predators. Amazing photography i must confess but it should be captioned.

Former international and first oyinbo wall, Reuben Agboola ready for Wembley.

Reuben Agboola was not the first Oyinbo wall but Tunji Banjo who was part of 1981/82 eagles.

The jersey cool on him not replica but real Nike.

komekn:


All of them are far higher in rating and ability than Nwakali, by the way i have talked to all of them and the willingness to play for Nigeria is not in question but our approach is.

I could bring in a lot more but just those for now, but that's not my focus but rather the system of selection that enthrones subjective favoritism over objective proven performance.

In reality Tega, Sei and Ovie are way far ahead they are not just future prospects but current top performers, they have all played a few games for their parent teams in the EPL a feat that is very far away if not near impossible for Nwakali in Arsenal as it stands.

The Eredivisie is rated 14th in Europe by UEFA it would therefore not be without credence to rate the Eerste Divisie as way below the Championship more on par with National conference and or league 2.

In reality we can look at players in the lower leagues to make comparison who i consider much better.

In my last two posts i gave you countless examples of supposed future prospects in English football that TOTALLY FLOPPED, that cost way more money than Nwakali, you have chosen to completely ignore these substantiated facts. Instead you are making irreverent comments without substance, just sentiment to buttress your position.

Why not humble yourself and learn and become enlightened.

good morning bros. This is my last response to you on this matter. Nwakali is not super eagles player. He u23. Ure innit boys would not have been ready to play for is in the athletico game. Fact.

I am not an agent like you, neither do I have the zeal to start bringing up statistics. Maybe someone will help me. But nwakali is from Nigeria not England so you don't expect it to be as easy for him as your innit boys in England.

So let me add.... Why was chalobah called to train with the 3 lions over wilshere and shelvey. Did he have better statistics too?

We have seen your preferred choices so whenever you criticize nwakali we know how to respond. Have a good day.

Why do you want ogu to be dropped? it seems you love agu and you dont want him to be dropped.

With the love i have for joel obi i cant deny that he deserves to be dropped,joel obi or agu deserved to be dropped and not john ogu

MetalJigsaw:
Actually, I replied him based on his statement about SE. England are a good side, but but not very good .

You should take an overdose of malaria tablets. You are having delirium.

England will torment the Eagles on saturday.

They should drop mikel agu jor,make dem no try drop ogu oo,ogu is already 30,onazi can still play for super eagles in the next world cup as far as he comes good for his club site,he is 25 years and in the next 4 years he will be 29 so why not? Obi mikel is 31 and playing at the world cup so why will a player of 25 cant make it then as far as he is still good enough?

tbaba1234:


Mikel agu was left out/opted out of the Poland game because he had to renew his passport. It was travel problems that made him miss the friendly.

Well, what we heard was passport issue initially.Later to replace injured Etebo.

Conflicting reports but anyhow at this stage let the best be picked.

Which results have they produced when it mattered? A shamble and lucky outing in Poland?, a pathetic performance against the Serbs who struggle against the Croatians? a disappointing farewell match in front of home fans in port harcourt in a horrible football pitch which the Congolese dominated you on??.........A potential loss to the 3 Lions in wembley?

Sir, are you for real?

Yes if we based it on performance in eagles recently Ogu should make it but sometimes coach can think otherwise.

I do not want Ogu dropped. I am just analyzing the situation as it stands.

Joel Obi appears to be Ndidi's replacement, that means Agu or Ogu are in danger of getting dropped. The choice of who will be dropped is not so clear cut. It is actually quite dicey.

I personally think Ogu has played better than Agu so far. If faced with the choice of both, i will probably drop Agu.

Kog45:

Yes, the passport issue was why he was not in the initial list. Etebo's injury made it easier for him to report to camp since he had sorted out the problem.

Nigeria/England should do the talking on who to drop.Let's just wait.

forgiveness:


You're not even making sense again. Typical of two faced double standard fellows.

Onazi, Ogu, Brian, Joel are all the same age with Ajagun but you have called him Old washed player. Why?

they all have better careers right now. Sorry if calling ajagun old and washed up offends you. Again ajagun over nwakali for u23. That makes sense to you Àbí. Cos as far as I know nwakali is been prepared for u23.

Nwakali's career projection is up. You can project ajagun's and aluko's for us. So it is making it into an imaginary 35 man list based on hearsay naim de pain you like this. OK o. Continue.

Nwakali will be invited for the u23 and post Russia over ajagun and aluko, every day. Only ebere will be invited alongside cos he is also the future. Take that to the bank.

BTW I just wish ajagun will be called up for once just like kayode so we go rest for your hand. The question now is ajagun over who in the super eagles?

I am not an agent like you and komekn, so you guys are just doing your job. Have a good day.

Ajagun is 25,he played regularly during his U20 days,he is one of the most capped U20 players then with 22 games and 12 goals for naija U20

Sir, are you for real?

Sometimes, I wonder if some overly-patriotic fans watch the same game every other person does. We shouldn't let blind patriotism fool us. The eagles have been uncordinated, shambolic and clueless in all their friendly games. I don't know if it's because Rohr is trying different tactics but we can't afford to play like this in the WC. If not, we will pay dearly.

andrew444:

Ajagun is 25..wow....... OK OK....I am not against him.. Ajagun over who right now in the super eagles..... See how this discuss has successfully changed from nwakali in the u23 training game against athletico into an ajagun for eagles call up?

I am so happy Ndidi will not play against England....We need him fit for the main event...he has proved himself...he slots into the team easily...nothing to prove again

andrew444:

Andrew sometimes better not to dabble into confrontation analysis cos eterisan and forgiveness are confronting not talking football.

Kelechi Nwakili is a young prospect and still developing? yes do we need to argue it cos against Atletico he did well.Hope to see him developing into a great player.

Ajagun is one of the project of Nigeria football and good at 25 not too old to make eagles in nearest future.He even deserves a look in but Rohr has his plan,so we can't force him.

I think based on special talents i don't see anything wrong in Nwakili invitation cos right now Nathaniel Challobah is training with England national team preparing to face Nigeria.

I will not deceive you Ajagun deserves a call based on his performance so far this season and funny enough we don't have much options in AM but sometimes it happen, so not a big deal.

I hope you know Onazi belong in the same Class(age grade) as likes of Omeruo, Shehu, Musa, Kayode and Ekong. So he may still be around for a couple of more years.
