as if Rohr did not play Ogu and Mikel against Argentina, where was Etebo when two snails held down the defence?

Na you be the real plastic fan. Ogu has been gold consistently, anyhow you want to play him, meanwhile Etebo, like forgiveness said, dey do like NEPA. You fit play am the day wey he dey off and that midfield formation will scatter and he will be reduced to a headless chicken, running up and down the field with zero returns.

Thank God for few people that don't judge the players after one game, is been a while etebo had a good game and after one good game, he becomes the best thing after slice bread

Even in the commentary the English team was praised for exploiting space, space created by their supposedly better player Onazi, which is what he does again and again(Don't understand what his supporters are not seeing this).
Abeg boss stop arguing with them, they keep wondering why African teams keep getting exposed when they play European teams. It is not about running around helter skelter, Onazi's plays could work when he was younger or against teams with slow forwards but against teams that can take advantage of gaps with their fast forwards and quick passes will punish us again and again.

I think I will heed to your advice. No need debating the issue. Thank you.

yes o, Ekong that was dropped when Oliseh was coach, resurfaced thanks to his uncle Pinnick

Ebuehi's uncle, was also instrumental to his making it on the list.

And let us not forget how Leon Balogun's uncle also influenced Rohr to put him in.

And the biggest one of all, Idowu, that one's uncle, Segun Odegbami, is the reason he is going to Russia


If only Hopr Akpan, Sone Aluko and Aina had uncles in the NFF.


Oga Komekn, next time, please, restrict your cries to your overrated English players cuz everyone else is having a blast in the Super Eagles

This image practically nailed the coffin for Onazi. This has always been his problem. Being everywhere but nowhere IN PARTICULAR!

This isnt about form. This is about discipline. He lacks the discipline. If only his duties on the pitch can be spelt out.

are you the coach??are you the assistant coach?? why does he still get shirt after not playing to instruction?? drop your phone and go get a coaching batch

It is not about the love Sir Martz. It is actually the truth. Nacho has the best left foot in Nigerian football at the moment. It is a no brainer. Ogu's left foot is awesome too... From his strike that rattled the bar/post against South Africa at the Mandela challenge to the super strike against Algeria... Ogu has it definitely and has been doing such even for his club, Hapeol Beer sheva.... But with Nacho, his own packs everything... Accuracy, power, precision, beauty.. You name it. It is just me saying the truth. wink

His reaction and jump celebration to his goal was very very passionate indeed.

I saw real Eagles fire in his celebrations... That "we are champs and don't give up" attitude... That moment was it... The moment the stuff of a player ready to lead the way shone through...
JUST IMAGINE 7 of our starting 11 having that kind of believe and passion.

I still find it hard to understand why we took our feet off the gas after scoring. The English were in total disarray immediately we scored. I was expecting us to capitalise on that... But our players went on to sleep and left Iwobi all alone to run the show...

The psychologist needs to help the entire team BELIEVE again... They need to see themselves again as champions. They need to understand that the whole of Africa is looking up to them. Beating Zambia, Cameroon and Algeria enroute to qualification no be beans... They must not FAIL.

I believe he was injured that's why he wasn't invited for Algeria and Argentina game. Against Cameroon he grew into the game and was impressive in the dying minutes so was he against Zambia. One thing to take is that Agu has never started any game for Nigeria and has not played enough minutes to be given proper assessment.

Agu was not injured but dropped after that match please check

Agu will get his chance but not now

Another fat lie detected.

The fat is Shehu Abdullahi came and benched Mikel Agu.

That is a BIG FAT LIE. Yes! Na lie.

Shehu came to the club in January and since then he was paired alongside Agu for almost all the matches save 4 games he was replaced by on Turkish player.

They won the match and coach decided to retain the winning team for the next match which dey also won but they lost the next two matches before Agu retained his position.

The first snapshots is how Shehu and Agu were paired for about 10 matches before one player took Agu's spot. Please, remember that 16 matches remained when Shehu joined the team and he played 14 out of them while Agu played 10 matches.


The second snapshot is Shehu in his usual position and another player in Agu's position. grin

I just knew if I check na lie e go be and it turned out to be a fat big lie. grin

Please, people should not come here and start given false information just to justify their false information. Thanks

What has Agu done that they haven’t since they have all been invited? You want to use verifiable stats or unverifiable points? Agu better than Etebo? Etebo has two very good games under his belt we can’t forget too easily (Against Algeria in Uyo and against England just recently). What stand out performance has Agu had since his call up? Agu and Joel Obi are in the same boat. Rohr chose the latter. I don’t care either way cuz none is significantly better than the other. Club stats is past now since that’s what earned them their call up in the first place.

As for Onazi, Rohr as chosen to keep faith with him. Didn’t Agu get knocks on his debut under Rohr? Or is it the Congo DR performance? If Agu has a strong case because of that game alone, Lokosa has as well.



You have to rate these guys based on the number of minutes they played for the SE.

Etebor was on from start to finish against Algeria in Uyo and he was impressive.

Against Cameroon and Zambia both in Nigeria Agu came in as a substitute and held the CM and DM respectively, together. And these two games were our toughest of the whole qualifiers.

Against Algeria away Etebor was woeful.

Against Congo where we have both players together Agu owned and bossed that midfield with little effort while Etebor almost didn't come to play.

I wouldn't go into Onazi because he is practically done.

My point is that Agu has not started a game for Nigeria and there is no game he played and didn't impress

Onazi should learn to shield the defence or step down for another to do the job. How come Ogu, Agu, Hope Akpan get it right and a highly experienced defender like him gets it wrong repeatedly. He should do the job or step down.

Exactly what he needs personally and what we too need in the SE. Nothing great is forged in the comfort zone... He grew out of his former comfort zone and walked his way into Wenger's plans and heart.. Now he is leaving the zone of comfort he found under Wenger's inspirational care and tutelage... He is ready to step things up and become a great. I believe he will shine under Emery if or when given the chances. Iwobi is gonna be regarded someday as one of Nigeria's greats.... Early forecast it is, yes.. but sometimes, greatness can be spotted early. wink



TheGoodJoe:


During the game, I made a statement and those watching the game with agreed. Iwobi has grown up and I think Wenger's departure sparked a hunger in him.

His Uncle is JJay Okocha he got into the SE before he had played one senior professional game for Arsenal.

However, Sone Aluko, Hope Akpan, with outstanding performances for the SE have been dropped, set aside and forgotten.

Add to that Aina set aside for a player that has failed to meet the standard at low club level..

THATS GREAT INSPIRATION for future Nigerian origin players.

Nigerian origin players know they face discrimination from thier white peers but the discrimination from your own people is much MORE PAINFUL.

NUFF said


Wow Brian Idowo, Ebuehi, Balogun and Ekong Must be Ghanaian Origin players that used their Ucles to get into the Nigerian National team.

As much as I don't like Echiejile for even one day, nor what happened to Aina, can you beat your chest in Affirmation and say that if Ola Aina was playing in NPFL that he will smell the National team? Truth must be said. There are Nigerian players in lower Leagues that if given the exposure and opportunity Aina was given, we will have a World class left back in our National team. Aina didn't grab his chance when he had it.

Ebuehi was rated lesser than Aina in the beginning. But Guess what? The guy no gree.
He grab his chance and made a strong statement with lesser match appearance than Aina needed to make his. The Match againts Dr Congo burried his Russian ambition, that match would have given him the ticket but he didn’t grab it.

You people are making it look like Aina is a Marcelo. Are you saying that the 5 other FB of Nigerian Origin are not enough inspiration?

Warris all this nonsense rants all about? Rohr is not even a Nigerian and everybody will not go to World cup. Na Sane, Niangollan, Icardi and Lacazete dem commot for World Cup squad list so, heavens never fall.

Iwobi's development as a footballer is outstanding.

He is becoming deadly at the edge of the box with each passing game. Prior to our goal, after he laid that pass from 30-35yards out, I wasn't expecting him to be the one to take that rebound. His positional play and awareness in the final third is second to non.

How I wish Rohr can try him as an AMF behind a front 2 comprising of Iheanacho and any other forward(Ighalo, Simmy, Victor or Musa) with Mikel playing deep alongside Mikel. His understanding with Nacho will be telepathic!

Actually everybody knows Mikel is dead slow. Without the ball.his contribution is let's say not great. His closing down almost comical.

However, very very big however, when he has the ball he makes things happen.

Mikel was slow when he was in chelsea but he still chase the ball.

this is just my problem, watch that Ghanaian team that went out in quarterfinal in 2010, they all are chase the ball with passion including boateng.

if iwobi could chase down the ball then Mikel with his defensive midfield experience should be doing the same

what was he doing up there to start with, we had no shot on goal in first half common sense should have told him to withraw back and help, better player than him do that

Some people just want attention but I am not ready to give it.

People brings lies everyday here to justify the exclusion of players but when you debunk such lies they begin to call names and going unnecessarily personal.

So, I should be intimidated to submit to lies without asking questions or answering questions because I must have the same view with everybody here.

A player was dropped, you say na because he did it in an obscure league and current performance matters. Now, a player from an obscure league is picked ahead of a player that did better in a better league but we are hearing another story with different dimension that the player in an obscure league has ability than the one in a better league and they are telling us that the one in a better league is not good enough.

We dey ask question why the teaches they contradict themselves in a subtle way but all we dey here is..... keep quiet ...you are a wailer. grin

Hard for me seeing V. Moses on the bench because I feel he has more to offer the team. I also see him in the Light of having potential to do what the likes of Salah and Griezmann offer. That is why I want to see him paired in a forward role with Iheanacho. Both of them have massive attacking Potentials.
