OK good.

Plus I have this believe that Rohr is more likely to start Shehu ahead of Aina at RB.

Knowing how crucial that game is, Aina has not played RB in any game under Rohr and knowing Rohr to be very conservative, Shehu looks more likely to start at RB.

Rohr's decision to continue using Shehu at RB is plain stupidity .
Shehu was only drafted to the RB role due to our lack of option in the role.. Now we have enough of them and Shehu doesn't play that role at club level....

How in God's name will u start an Ajayi who is a championship player ahead of Ekong who is a starter in the serieA and a long term member of the SE ..Being tall isn't a feature of a world class defender oo..And again,have u study the Libya team well enough to know that they will pose a threat via set pieces??
If Ajayi should start at CB,replace Balogun with him.. Balogun hasn't played much for Brighton this season...

I look at players' individual ability, not clubs and leagues.

Ekong, with all due respect to him has not been very superb with us in recent games. Inaccurate passes, poor set-piece defending, occasional dangerous marking e.g the PK against Croatia. And his height isn't exactly helping matters. I've watched a couple of Ajayi's games and I think we should try him.

Can you imagine what a human being that calls himself a football fan just wrote. What is the name of this formation abeg?.� Wallahi even my grandma in the village will do better than this.

Honestly speaking this guy has no business with football. And for im mind he thinks he is one tactical genius�.

Kai. this is why Rohr and co should avoid social media coaches. Empty headed people everywhere.

Please, if you don't know tactical football, keep quiet and learn from others. You don't need to disgrace yourself in a bid to be a pundit.�

this was not how I arranged it o... the whole thing got scattered...

what I meant is, these are the people I would love to see in the starting 11, not drawing any formation

before you all come for my head...


I didn't draw any formation.. I only gave a list of players I would to see in the starting 11..

I would for a 4-3-2-1

It is not stupidity.

If he plays Shehu at RB on Saturday it means he has not really had enough confidence on Aina in that position. Remember Aina has not played RB for Nigeria. And so if he does not have much confidence in Aina for a game this crucial, he has to fall back to status quo which is Shehu. And I am sure you know Shehu will deliver the goods in a game like this especially if he is not played as a WB but as a RB.

OK, no wahala.

We are all here to exchange ideas. No need to feel bad about it.

OK let's see now, using the 4-3-2-1 u just proposed above represent the players set up like u did before and at least just to prove some people wrong already.

Oga feel free and don't mind all FIFA coaching badge holders. We are all here to learn in one way or another

Kenneth Omeruo played yesterday. He came on as a first half substitute for injured Unai Bustinza.

It is good some of our defenders are getting play time in top leagues. Hope Balogun gets game time in the EPl else we should replace him asp. No bench warmers should be given leverage over performing ones.

Now the above in bold is part of why Chriskels will not hesitate to shoot Rohr at first sight. Shehu ahead of an in-form Aina? Chriskels will definitely have Rohr for breakfast...

Chriskels be like, "Shehu ahead of Aina? Just try it first...."

Curtisaxel7:
My dream line up

Gk - Uzoho (no competition)

CD- Balogun

CD- Ajayi (Been posting superb displays lately. And his height can be needful in defending set-pieces in which we are deficient)

RB- Aina ( Better than Shehu )

LB- Collins ( natural left footer, decent dribbling ability. Idowu has neither).

DM- Ndidi

CM- Etebo

AM- Iwobi

RM- S.Kalu

LM- Musa (can be our major attacking outlet)

CF- Ighalo ( In good scoring form. good physicality and dribbling[b]. Iheanacho has a horrible first touch, zero pace and can't dribble a defender to save his life[/b], I'd play Success ahead of him).

emotive prejudice, statement devoid of substance and should be waved off. Your statement exposed your bias. So nacho still get bad first touch? Wake up to reality and this season. The bolded statement don sour for here so look for another thing to talk.

Nigeria vs Libya lineup certainties:

**You don't need a prophet, seer, or a member of the cross and star brotherhood to tell you that in the absence of injury:


1. Uzoho will start in goal.

2. Ekong and Balogun will start in Central defence.

3. Idowu will start at LB.

4. Ndidi will start in Midfield.

5. Onazi will start in Midfield.

6. AHMED MUSA WILL START (AND EVEN CAPTAIN THE TEAM).

7. Ighalo will start whether we like it or not... Lol

8. The other positions such as AM, RW, and RB are where we MAY (and surely will, in at least 2 positions) see changes due to competitive reasons. One of the 3 players that played in these positions vs Seychelles may retain their place or maybe not. Time will tell...

But Numbers 1-7 are 100% certain in the absence of injuries. It is simply what Gernot Rohr would do on October 13.

It is not this kind of game that Rohr will start all 3 of Jamilu, Aina and Ajayi. All 3 may not even start. I only see Aina as having a better chance than the other 2 to play that game.

I see ..It's ur team sha.. But Ekong is ahead of Ajayi any day!/

There is a 16 year old Nigeria in the MLS who just scored his first goal... George Bello... He is already part of the US junior teams.

yes have heard lots of good news about him and he is being scounted by teams in topeuropean leagues. he is a leftback and was born in abuja

Egbon, Training never start una don dey name starting lineup? Good list but not Ighalo. Success should lead the attack. #IGHALOOUT

I prefer ajayi to ekong,ajayi is confident on the ball

balogun is good to go

etebo, I dunno for the guy, haven't seen any spectacular performance recently

ola Aina, brain idowu good to go, tho brain wasnt good against Seychelles

ndidi has always been top notch, onazi should control the mf, I believe for his experience else he's not improving..
iwobi as an Am , sharp play maker
kalu and musa on the wings with their pace will really outsmart the defenders
Isaac success as a lone striker

Oga na pepper be the matter. Structures, but what do they stand for? Structures, but why do they buy votes? Structures, Why do they rig? Structures na excuses. I’ve heard that a thousand times.

soetanoreoluwa:


Are lesser parties doing their home work well? Do they have structures?

komekn:


What you call structure is sometimes an elaborate concerted intended Corruption Apparatus. That apparatus ensures people are paid off " Stomach Infrastructure " to ensure irrational loyalty to the individual not necessarily the party, from ward level upwards even to national level.

That in depth structure of loyalty by financial appeasement and sometimes with satanic oaths I mean " Juju" . Will see one individual holding a whole state to ransom and deciding who comes in for office and who goes out.

Selection is therefore by loyalty to the kingmaker not to any party "political ideology" in this our essentially two party state does any party have one ❓ I think it's now apparently clear to all that the war on corruption is a complete and utter FARCE.

Uduaghan has just joined APC and won a senatorial seat candidacy. That and many other events make things quite clear. To me APC = PDP

All I can say is Nigeria politics is LOCAL.
If you want to win any political post either you are a grassroot politicians, you have a godfather, even money can't assure you success in Nigeria politics. They know that is how they need to go about their winning any elections. Ask yourself who are the voters? You think the working class? .

There is more to Nigeria politics than what you can see. That's is their structure. That's what win elections for them.

Yea I was on the verge of posting his name on our Golden Eaglets sister thread when I realized he is already in the US set up. U know how we view the MLS. That one na long thing.

brikianr question

Lesser parties are busy sleeping on Twitter and Facebook as if that is where they will be seen. Once election is over, all of them will go and sleep until another four years, when it is time to collect money from INEC again. I hear they are paying #200 million to parties for participation in the 2019 elections. That is probably why we have 91 political parties

Shebi They have started donating to them.. Another scamming. Kingsley moghalu that I respected so much do maradona on PACT election after losing out... Lol...

Their own politics is international not local... Let them enjoy the fame while it last.

Joebie:

Nigeria politics is local... It needs total overhauling but who will do it?
Since inception of democracy in Nigeria corruption has been inthe front burner and buying of votes, rigging had been their since inception. It is not new if you follow the history of Nigeria very well you will understand is one of the reason that leads to first coup in Nigeria. . There is more to Nigeria politics than what you are seeing and saying . Why do you think they allow Nigerians to be drenched in poverty? Now poverty capital of the world. Come 2030 Nigeria will be place where most poverty pple lived.

Cos poverty is one the tools in the hand of Nigeria politicians.

Their structure is not be for Betterment of citizens but for their own good...

If those people want to bring meaningful change, they should join the two most powerful party in Africa and wrestle the power with them. Or all the lesser presidential candidates should form an alliance select one person and form a formidable party that will be a third Force.

Wait have you heard about PACT?
