You are right. I recall our first WCQ game in Zambia. He played RW. Against Cameroun in Uyo he played RW too and even switched couple of times with Moses Victor. I am just addressing the fact that despite his predominance, career Wise, as a LW in terms of number of games played since he turned pro, it doesn't cancel out the fact that he can play comfortably on both flanks.

Danielnino00: He only played on the RW against Zambia because Iwobi occupied the LW possible and Vicmo was not in the team. Against South Africa, I saw him played on the LW not RW. Against Cameroon, same thing. Off course, he can play on the RW but Rohr has used him mostly as a LW. |

Danielnino00: Maybe or Maybe not. When Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh was Finance Minister in the first republic he was living a luxurious life off the proceeds of our Agricultural sector. Corruption still would have creped in. No major economy of the world has Agriculture as its main stay. Not even when we have a population as huge as 180-200Million with arable land being lost to both human activities, desertification and erosion on daily basis. I agree with u that other sectors would have been developed. But what other sectors? Mining? Just like Oil too. Manufacturing? We still would have had power problems although raw materials would have been more available due to a more buoyant Agricultural sector. Technology? Yes. Would have really boosted our economy. My brother make we leave economics small talk football. Nigeria's problems are deep rooted. |

TheSuperNerd: @ your last paragraph . that's what I'm saying too.. All of the wingers in our team have played both flanks in the national team before... Even Kalu drifted to the left sometime in the first half of that Seychelles game... |

TheSuperNerd: Well, I never gave it a thought for once. Maybe I will consider the possibility of him playing on the RW once we get reports from the camp but for now I doubt Rohr will play Simon ahead of Samuel. I doubt. |

forgiveness: Maybe you should re-watch the Cameroon game.. Simeon has always played mostly as RW. for Nigeria.. Iwobi and Moses are predominantly LW ...whenever they start, Simeon plays RW.. He just switches flanks with Moses during games... |

Time will tell as regards who starts eventually in the RW, AM and RB roles come saturday. But for now, I feel the other roles apart from those 3 are sorted in the first XI. One thing is certain though; we will have a super strong bench. forgiveness: 1 Like |

tbaba1234: I have read the incomprehensible rhetoric from the NFF doesn't make any sense. I was against the call up of Josh Maja and Ebere to the camp. Because they had not done anything they were just youth players. However, things can change fast in football. Ebere Eze is now on the radar of a multiple clubs Maja at 19 is the highest goal scorer in league one. These are not just mere hype. The NFF have failed woefully it seems they had other considerations of which quality and outstanding ability were not at the forefront. 2 Likes |

komekn: The bolded show that the NFF knew better than you at some point. I don't think there is anyone to blame here, especially not the NFF because they brought the players to train with the teams and they cannot call up players for the coach, we have been fighting against that so I cannot believe that u are using it as a point to bash the NFF. Why should they be involved in who comes to the team? What do they pay the coach for? |

Josh Maja is exactly what we demand from players in the obscure leagues. If u must play in a lower league, u must be the best. Maja is a giant in the midst of dwarfs hence, the interests pouring unlike certain players like Iorfa and Aneke who haven't done no jack, yet, their names are brandished around here by some folks for reasons best known to them. Until they stand out as Maja just did, sorry but nobody is gonna look their ways, not even our local football sites will write anything about them. 1 Like |

Icon4s: Chief I think he might be gradually earning that name. He seems too rigid and can't make changes to solve a problem. The world cup was the most painful part, we all knew 3-5-2 was the only way that team was effective in the friendlies, even a baby would tell you the team plays better with that formation only for him to use a 4-3-3 and we soaked a barage of pressure and finally conceded. Now to current matter, Aina that is playing in the Italian league is a more improved player and plays in both RWB and LWB for his club. We are playing Libya where they would defend for their lives which means some of our overlapping Fulbacks might make the difference against a team that wants to keep a defensive shape. I was watched Shehu very critically in the GWG, yes he is solid defensively but offensively, he just lacks ideas in terms of delivery.. |

Curtisaxel7: Iheanacho is a decent player on his day but in recent times has been piss poor. Absolutely. Don't let any sick fool bully you. Look at Iwobi. Look at Ekong. Look at Eberechi Eze getting called up by the English youth team. Look at Samuel Chukwueze making the step up to the Villarreal senior team. Look at the resurgent Success, is he not Nacho's age mate? Okay look at Osimhen,√ the young man has picked up the pieces and is doing very well. Look at Musa at Nassr. These are players who are keeping it real. Except that Huddersfield game where he really stood out, Iheanacho currently❌ |

It is either this super eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, is drunk or he is trynna play a smart one on some gullible fans to pacify them by telling them just what they wanna hear; [b]"I believe Sheyi Ojo's interest to play for Nigeria is a reflection that some things are being done the right way that is why players of dual nationality are beginning to show interest in playing for the Super Eagles. "We will keep our team competitive and attractive the way it is. The coaches are scouting and looking round for those available. At the right time, the right steps will be taken and we will be able to get these players to come to the team. But not just Sheyi Ojo, a lot of other players are showing interest in playing for the Super Eagles." "Sheyi Ojo is one of them, Arnaut Danjuma who plays in Belgium is another one, Everton youngster Ademola Lookman is another youngster who can get a call up. He played for England at the U-20 World Cup. Also, Ovie Ejaria is another star. "These players are favourably disposed to playing for Nigeria. So at the right time, steps will be taken to see who can come on board and who will have to wait a little longer."[/b] |
