Hian... Nna ehn.. I didn't even want to go deeply into Ghana's talents but now you don do am and even use am dey cast MY SUPER EAGLES... Honestly ehn Nna'm, I fear your stand is that "Every other Notable African Football National team" is better than the Super Eagles....

Oga Chriskels, I just dey look you...

No bro, I am all for an improved super Eagles team. By so doing I compare dem with their African counterparts and at the same time school some mofos who know nothing about other African teams hence belittling them while trynna over rate our team.

So if someone scored against Barca he is now over good nah lol

For your information the ayew brothers was dropped from the squad listed 2 days ago

Thomas partey is a classy player and kwadwo asamoah,the rest are below average players.

If na Senegal and Morocco I go shut my mouth not Ghana


Boateng is a young player naa.. I believe he is like 21 or 22 now. Showing such quality against the big guns is something and a big deal. He made his debut for Ghana and guess what, he scored on his debut. Lad is good.


Anyway, Dad Icon4s.... I think you can see that he was being darn serious. grin Andrew dey vex... Lol

Hahaha, you just dey fall your hand dey go.

Is Iwobi not often played as a winger in the Super Eagles? So why would Eberechi Eze not be deployed as a winger too.


grin You think an AM only plays the Central role abi? grin

Now we know who the joker of the Century is.

I can bet you've not even seen this Ebere Eze play




No be me u go use Ngwa sense follow, u no reach. Ebere is an AM, same role Etebo plays for us, so the argument lies btwn Etebo and Ebere not Iwobi, Onyekuru neither is Kalu. Now as an AM is Etebo as good as Ebere? The answer is NO.

While he was poor, Ighalo had a better performance than Nacho. This isn't up for debate.
I went further in my initial post because if you ask who replaces Ighalo, most of you will say Nacho.
We all know Rohr is going back to his 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 formation. Nacho isn't a better option than Ighalo to lead the line - this is a fact that has been proven over and over again.
If we play 4-4-2 or 3-5-2, fine you can replace Nacho with Ighalo. But as a target man, it is pointless. There's no point in being a great finisher if you can't lead the line. Podolski was the best finisher for the German national team when he was at his peak yet he barely started as a LW or a CF...this is Germany we're talking about oo...not a SE without our most creative player.
That's why I've gone further.

Put Ighalo in Leicester City today, he would not start ahead of Nacho. It is just here you people can hide under proven over and over. Ighalo has not had better top performances, finishers or brilliant play than Nacho.

Ighalo plays because he suits when our team resorts to conservative, negative football. If we want to play in an offensive, creative, explosive manner, Ighalo will not come close.

If we are going against a side with creative, defensive holding play which most top teams utilize, a player like Ighalo becomes a liability. He lacks the creativity to drop deep and create for the wingers which is why he hardly has assists.

I love and follow African Football too even though a die hard Super Eagles fan and enthusiast, I am. It is always a Joy seeing African talents sprout up from all over the continent and making progress in Europe and ofcos seeing that our own are not left out of the beautiful story.

I get your drift shaa. I too want a constantly improving and positively evolving Super Eagles team. I hope we can realise most if not all of our potentials as a team and football nation. It is well. wink

Ighalo was better vs Argentina despite the missed chances. Ighalo had a better cameo against Iceland. He certainly held the ball up better and won fouls.
Rohr did not invite Ighalo back and immediately put him back in the starting 11 over Nacho in a 4-2-3-1 because he hates Nacho.
When last has Rohr played Nacho as a 9 since then?

Ighalo looked better because the Argentines were pushing for a goal to keep them in the competition. With a more lethal forward and the chances we created, we would have ripped the Argentines to shred. No disrespect to Ighalo but with the amount of creative, pacy, mobile forwards we are having, Ighalo will be a draw back to our tempo, unless Rohr still wants us playing in a boring manner.

Finito.

I tell you bro...the old man is gradually drifting towards the path of sanusi yusuf...who knows if he has not been corrupted already.

wanted us captied eze and also bring billing into the super eagles fold.

Ighalo making the list...already spoilt it.
well the team will beat Seychelles.
any good team will do just that.
but Ighalo shouldn't be there...Dude should have been left out on the filmsy reason to enable him concentrate on club football.

Ighalo: a no, no for me

Joel Obi: wonder his function in the team.

Onazi: Except rohr is marketing abdominal obesity, I don't understand his continual inclusion

Iheanacho: this guy is increasing his reputation as a scam in our Senior team. I guess rohr just likes him. I'm sure in a nation of over 170M, we have way better guys

KC Nwakali: I still think his call-up was rushed. Let's see what he has to offer.

Ighalo would easily fit in at Leicester. Have you forgotten he was superb for Watford at the championship and his first season in the epl at Watford??
He had a poor season when Watford switched to a 4-3-3 with Mazzari playing him outwide at times.
His pairing with Deeney was great - imagine what he'd do with someone like Vardy upfront?
I don't even think Watford had more creative players than the current Leicester side

I never wanted ighalo to be dropped no reason my comment.

I argued here about a week ago that ighalo should not only take the blame because of the World Cup miss,sorry the coach had no choice than to invite him,many people attacked me here in different way because I was supportive of ighalo

Now my brother please ask them in this thread which striker should be invited ahead of ighalo?

Someone is saying Isaac success ? Someone that has played only 17 minutes in the Epl ?

O common

Isaac success....... a man who couldn't handle little success

Where did you get this idea that Ighalo is being criticized solely for his World Cup performance? The way some of you talk, it is as if Ighalo just started playing games for Nigeria at the World Cup.

Is it today people started criticizing Ighalo? If after all this time, you still can't understand the utter uselessness of a player with four goals in twenty two appearances for Nigeria, then you should refrain from any arguments as regards him

What has Ighalo done in the GWG? Why is he better than any forward past, present or future that we have had? He has had one of the worst records for Nigeria, but no, let us wipe the slate clean because he is a 'complete' forward and a nation of at least 250 million citizens home and abroad can obviously not present a better number 9 undecided

Ighalo didn't solely take the blame for poor performance but he stood out among the rest for mediocrity and for being unfit

Unless I'm missing something, but wasn't Ighalo brought in at half time when we were 1-0 down?? He held the ball better than Nacho. Yes he's not a great finisher like Nacho but he has better hold up play, is far more skillful and is just as mobile or maybe even more.
If you're going to play the likes of Musa and Onyekuru outwide, Ighalo makes even more sense.
We've done this Nacho as a 9 thing against Algeria and SA. It didn't work out.

I can actually tolerate Ighalo but inviting Joel Obi and Onazi back to the squad is madness.
Also with Mikel's absence I would like to see more of Iwobi at the AM position.

As regards d quality of d players substituting d old guards, I feel rohr just want to av a closer look,2 or 3 players to redeem deir image,a person like ighalo and joel,from dere,he would begin his trial and substitute methods till we av something close to perfect he knows his first 11,

But y is Isaac success not in d team list
Cc...sir chriskels cool

I'm thinking rohr might wait a whole season or half a season before trying out Isaac

He needs to be sure he has improved his character on/off the pitch and his performances are consistent

My opinion tho...

"Samuel Kalu is a young player at 21. He is an exciting winger," Rohr said.

"He can be the successor to Victor Moses at the right side"
