As I said, why are you dragging us back. Why are you interested in was your preferred callup in the past. World Cup is few days ahead.

you are the one dragging us back, while complain about Echiejile when we already have the 23 man list, national team sqaud is not a club football were you buy players you need, in national team you use what you have

I feel he should have strength for the next World Cup, he'll be 35 by then which isn't too old for a midfielder.

Sunnypa11:
The best formation for the current Super Eagles is 3-5-2!
With the mentioned formation,Super Eagles held their own and looked unbreakable in the second half against a cruising English National team with some unravelled national treasures.
Francis Uzoho is a done deal for goal while expectedly, William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun are important to the defence line.
Joining the 'Oyinbo wall’ is a midfielder in John Ogu,It is very important to note that most of the defenders are right-footed including Kenneth Omeruo and the Israeli based Ogu is also as tall as Croatia striker,Mario Manzukic who will be an aerial threat all night.
Balogun will defend from a comfortable right side of the defence alongside a mobile Tyronne Ebuehi just as Ogu who is very calm in possession will be giving Bryan Idowu a needed assurance from the left.
Wilfred Ndidi will be winning the tackles as Oghenekaro Etebo create an industrious midfield zone to neutralize Luca Modric and Ivan Rakitic.
John Obi Mikel big game stability and experience put him in an advanced and familiar position with lesser defensive duty in yet an important position.
And there comes the mysterious dynamites leading the line together.
Kelechi Iheanacho and Alexander Iwobi both ruined Argentina together in an unimaginable manner in the most fruitful Forty-Five minute of Coach Gernot Rohr.
On display in Russia last November was pace,precised attacking passes,chemistry and top-class decision making.
The aging backline of Croatia could suffer same damage and it must be noted that Iheanacho always enjoy a companionship upfront while Iwobi is magical in freedom and the formation gives the Arsenal youngster the popular suggested advance role infront of Mikel.
SWITCH : John Ogu and Kelechi Iheanacho could both be replaced with Victor Moses and Odion Ighalo to switch back to 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 as the situation may require.

Dragging us back by expressing my fear on the current list.

Bia, take ya time.

TheGoodJoe:


Still prefer the squad selection below. I feel Victor Moses will be formidable if given freedom to attack.

In the midfield trio, Ndidi sits, Mikel dictates while Iwobi dissects.

Sunnypa11:


The line-up laid more emphasis on team players rather than individual tricks.

From the friendlies, Victor looked exhausted and it could be a blessing for us if he starts on the bench against Croatia against a tired defence.

More so, he had a tournament to forget in 2014.

Moses starting from the bench is not realistic in this team, the coach believe so much in him. moses will start against Croatia

TheGoodJoe:



Growing up in Austria and being a part of one of the best academies, if not the best academy in Austria, gave Austria the leverage to monitor Alaba. Keep in mind, Alaba also played in the age grade levels for Austria, which is another advantage.

Austria Wein does not have that popularity like academies like Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester United, Manchester City etc. Even teams like Atletico Madrid, PSG, Juventus have more popularity than Austria Wein. Heck, how many stars do I know that came from that academy.

So Alaba lacked the popularity growing as a player to convince us to give him a Super Eagles callup at the time Austria called him. I did not say he was Called up while in Austria Wein.

By the way, the bolded in the quote clearly States my point.

---

Alaba also made his debut for the Austrian National team before he played for the main team of Bayern. Not our fault in any way.

Gerrit?

forgiveness:


Stori.

Google has failed you when you thought Alaba was an Austrian Wien’s player as at the time he was capped by Austrian National team.

Stop pretending you followed his development prior to his debut for Austria national team. EOD

TheGoodJoe:


It was a slip. Wiki clearly stated that Alaba was in Bayern Munich B team when he was called up. It was a slip in writing. I[b] wonder where I claimed to follow the event that laid to the callup. That will be a bloody lie, [/b] even if you claimed so. I knew Alaba after he broke into Van Gaal's squad and that was about 2009/2010, being a Van Gaal fan. So I followed Bayern then.

When I saw Alaba, my beef was clearly with Samson Siasia then. I felt he should have earned the U20 left back role in the 2009 WYC. I later found out he was called up to the National team of Austria. So I knew Austria was well ahead of us and I can not go blaming any body.

Alaba's history is not some hidden issue. That Google will fail. His career is literally on Wiki.

Since you didn't follow, why you come dey argue with person wey know?

A pointer to the fact that you just want argue blindly. EOD

That is like saying because I did not watch Maradona during his hay days, I can not debate about it. Ha.

TheGoodJoe:



Alaba also made his debut for the Austrian National team before he played for the [main team of Bayern]. Not our fault in any way.

Can't you read that I wrote main team of Bayern? It clearly shows I was pointing out he was already at Bayern but had not played for their main team.

Finito.

forgiveness:


Dey deceive yaself.

As I said, why are you dragging us back. Why are you interested in was your preferred callup in the past. World Cup is few days ahead.

Icon4s:


Cos you are making it seem as if Rohr made a mistake by calling up Echiejile in the first place and so I ask where is that player that you preferred over Echiejile for you to say you don't like his Call up.

TheGoodJoe:


If you are interested in my current stance, I can understand. I will prefer a thorough and open screening with the likes of Utin Ikouwem and the other young cat that played against Atletico Madrid. Let us see if they offer us more than Echiejile because heck, the guy has been a liability.

TheGoodJoe:


I am not satisfied with Uzoho even though I feel he is better than the pack of keepers we are going with. No coach can be hundred percent good in his selection. He has to make tough calls. Not criticising Rohr but hoping we adopt a more comprehensive formula in selecting our players.

Finito.

English 3rd Division Side Plymouth Linked With Efe Ambrose
June 10, 2018 9:09 am

English League One (third division) side Plymouth Argyle are being linked with Nigeria international Efe Ambrose.

According to Plymouth Herald, it is believed the club turned their attention to Ambrose who plays for Scottish Premiership side Hibernian following the possible exit of defender Sonny Bradley.

Bradley announced on his Twitter account on Friday of his intention to reject the Plymouth’s offer of a new contract and find a new club for the forthcoming season.

Luton Town remain the most likely destination for Bradley, but his departure from Plymouth means manager Derek Adams will be looking to sign a new centre half.

Niall Canavan has already arrived, following his release by Rochdale, but with Ryan Edwards the only other centre back for Plymouth right now, it is an area that will need strengthening.

Ambrose, 29, joined Hibernian last summer from Scottish rivals Celtic, and he went on to make 45 appearances last season, scoring three goals.

He has a year remaining on his current contract with the Hibernian.

He was a member of the Super Eagles squad to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
