Serious doubts about that, did Liverpool make an official bid/ offer. That was just media hype and manipulation by agents.


It was genuine.

Bros calm down. Norway are now average at best now and are very beatable by Nigeria.

Norway are not what they used to be again, they now rely on past glory as a former world champion. The teams to beat in this competition are France, USA and England. Any team

this three is beatable if we keep our heads down and not panick. I'm still rooting for the falcons to make second round though, even if they qualify as best looser



I'm no longer current then. Let's see how it will play out.

Aina played like 5 minutes as a LB against Zambia in Uyo. 90 minutes as a LB against Algeria in Constainte and 45 minutes as a LWB against Argentina... I thought it has already been established that he can play both LB and RB and even wingbcak .. What now changed ?
Forget this people. Aina played as a LWB against Argentina, same position Ebuehi played against Iceland. We watched these matches and knew who performed and who didn't. Aina might come good for the Eagles;this I believe. But on the colour of GWG, he hasn't given any impressive performance.

What about Onuachu❓Is he not deserving of a call up , he has been consistent over the past few seasons.

This is Osimhen first real full season of first team competitive football. Great promise and potential but l would place Onuachu slightly over him, he bring something completely different albeit he lacks pace.

I would actually prefer to see them both.

Onauchu deserved to be at afcon that's why I want nacho to be dropped but it won't happen

Rohr's Comment On Tyrone Ebuehi exclusion in the 25-man provisional list…

"Everybody just wants to see his favourite player or is that not the case? (laughter in the press conference hall).

We have called up 25 players to camp and those are the very best."

There are exceptions to players not getting game time for instance player manager disagreement. Or in some cases there are players who are just simply much better than him.

However, that's not the case with KC he has simply diminished from season to season. There is no amount of training you will do in a few weeks that will turn him into a being a prolific outstanding forward players.

That's sentiment and emotive favoritism that is almost delusional.

Selection to the SE is not on past glories but current consistent continous top class outstanding performances in your club and league. NOTHING ELSE should be considered.

If there were no other options available to the SE then there could be some justification. But what about Onuachu and others.

With regards to Balogun he has done well for the SE and we don't seem to have many contenders in the CB position.



No contenders? Omeruo, Ekong, Awaziem and even Ajayi are pretenders abi?

If you want to be mister holier than thou u need to go all out in being honest. Iheanacho played more than Balogun true or false? Iheanacho's competition play in considerably lower leagues compared to Balogun true or false? So in fact you are the one with sentiment and emotive favoritism that is almost delusional if I am to be honest.

Of course, the best players get noticed by EPL teams. But have you seen any best player from Danish League perform in the EPL?

Give it time.

If onuachu makes the final list and then performs well in the AFCON, who knows? Speedier league team may then request for his services.

When Onuachu gets to the premier league, we would then k is if he will come good. Till then, fingers crossed

Why not wait till our next match or afcon before you have anything to say more about aina ?

Are you guys not tired of this aina arguement?

Wait make afcon start abeg

How was Tyrone against Serbia? Wasn't he poor? See his rating below.

You can't use one match to nail a player.

Did you say Aina hasn't given any impressive performance in the GWG?

What do you say about this rating by ESPN? Is 7 not impressive enough?


Nigeria Vs Libya


SUBS

DF Ola Aina 7

This looks to be a day of slow starts.

Introduced within the opening 20 minutes, he looked tentative and gave the ball away a few times, but grew into the game.

Such was his confidence in the second half, that he he stripped Mohamad Abdussalam right inside his own box with a strong tackle just before the half-time whistle.

Actually not come to mind immediately.

I have too admit not many but those who have are top notch. Eriksen at Tottenham, Schiemechel at Leicester currently. Can't think of any more.

And in reality they did not come direct from the Danish league so in actual fact I can think of NONE.

You don't know what honesty is, you have to have objectivity to be honest, you simply don't.

The pertinent issue is performances not just games played.

KC played more games than Balogun but can you be honest and assess his performance ❓ Has it been satisfactory, above average, good or abysmally woeful, please tell us HONESTLY ❓❓

Considering KC cost £25 million would you say there has been a good return on Leicester city's investment❓ HONESTLY speaking ❓ ❓

What would you describe a return of one goal in the EPL all season after 30 games. Please be HONEST❓

To make sure you do not get confused let me give you the meaning of HONESTY just in case you do not know.

free of deceit; truthful and sincere, straightforward frank, candid, genuine forthright, impartial, unprejudiced, OBJECTIVE, etc.

Omeruo and Ekong were never in dispute they are the regular CB's of the SE and there is no contention about thier positions they are the best we have for now. Awaziem is a contender thats all and in my opinion a very average one.

That is your opinion but keep in mind, Rohr travelled to Leicester City, met with Iheanacho and Ndidi, probably discussed with Brendan Rodgers before making his decision. So I think we should wait to see the decision of Rohr than running with what we feel.

However, I would have preferred Iheanacho preparing for the preseason.

Eriksen came from Ajax to EPL. Schmeichel to the best of my knowledge lived his whole life in England. If we go with your Eriksen perspective, then the De Bruyne makes a good case for Belgium.
