everybody is shouting Balogun, when we should be asking about Shehu that has failed to distinguish himself in the RB role

Shehu and Iheanacho should be left behind, Iheanacho especially, to prove that you can't just laze around an entire season, then jump inside the Super Eagles. We aren't a confidence-building team.

Hmmm your once loved iheanacho? This aint fair. Let us put things into perspective a little. Dude had his confidence level dealt with from before he left Man City. Coming into leicester in a team set up to favour "find Jamie Vardy " at all times. Not forgetting change of coaches like 3 times or so. All of these plus media pressure, pressure to hit form gets to you as a player. He may not have handled it well, I do agree. But lets not be quick to throw the baby with the bath water. I make bold to say that Iheanacho was systematically wrecked. No thanks to Guardiola. I will always say that even though people may not agree.

Treatment like this is what gives rise to serial killers and unstable people in the society. We cant for our immediate gains destroy a person. If for anything at all, let us remember when the going was good. Oh and another thing..... give iheanacho a good run of games. 15 starts of absolute nonsense plays. Then we can all come out and crucify him!

Disclaimer: I never said he did not lose form. Just setting the records straight.

Much love

Rohr sees Ajayi as a DM or RB. Rohr might decide to play a back 3 at the tournament so dropping Awaziem May be calamitous. .

Despite i have called balogun a bench warmer i dont want him to be dropped, awaziem might be the scape goat and i want awaziem to be at the afcon, you should know this

You should know rohr will take shehu to afcon, you know this in your mind, some people here even said he is better than aina

Nobody should spoonfeed a grown adult. He isn't the first footballer to be put in a difficult situation, many others have been thrown in head first, and they swam against the tides.

Is it just his lack of any footballing sense on field? What about his off field antics? If your life is not balanced off field, it is a given that your game will be poor.

So, while it is far easier to blame Guardiola, Puel, or whichever coach Kelechi has found himself under, let us remember, that we hold the pen in our stories and we write what we want, nobody should write your story for you. Kelechi is turning 23 this year, his time is running out in football, he must find hos confidence and build it. For all the friends he has, it is terrible that he is lacking in confidence, what are those people in his life good for, if they can't boost his confidence?

As in

I don't even know the mumu that even brought the nonsense up.

Person wey never stamp his authority even as a winger, they are thinking of AM again.

Crazy people just full here, walahi.

They even had to down play Iwobi's midfield role in the team, just to push their useless agenda.


May be because they are already seeing the handwriting on the wall , that the guy won't get to play in the Afcon due to the fact that we now have a lot of options in the wing, his handlers are now looking to push him into the midfield role.

Very pathetic


But wait has Alex Iwobi been convincing as a winger? But we still gave him the chance. You can feel a certain type of way but no need to insult the guy.

I really don't get what's giving some people the idea that Balogun would be dropped..
Seriously I find it hilarious that a lot of people here who follow the beautiful game so well still don't know how the national team is different from club..

Balogun despite having limited game time at his club has always delivered in the GWG... I really can't remember the last time he had a bad game in the GWG.. when we played South Africa last year I was against him starting ahead of Omeruo due to his lack of game time but he ended up surprising me!
Dude is still very much useful to the SE and will always get called up!
Mikel had his a*s glued to the Chelsea bench by Conte but was still called up,started games and delivered in the colours of the GWG..
Its the same everywhere.. once a player has lasted long and proved himself in the national team colours, the club he plays for or his current form won't prevent him from getting call ups.. I mean countries like Belgium and Brazil took players from the Chinese league to the world cup!

Sadly,the same can't be said of Iheanacho.. he has regressed badly... all this excuse of him being backup to vardy and Leicester changing coaches doesn't add up...He got plenty chance at Leicester to prove himself..
Luckily,another chance awaits him on Saturday..If he doesn't score or at least put in a good performance, Rohr will be doing us a great disservice not to drop him....

You see that is where u are wrong.

Iwobi got into the National team as a Midfielder not even as a winger in the first place, during Arsene wenger's era. He only started playing in the wings under their new coach in this just concluded season.

So what's your point?

Your sarcasm is stale. Why must we keep doing something that has not paid us ? Iwobi is not an attacking midfielder , Mikel is not an attacking and they cant bring anything new. If super eagles do well at the nations cup it wont be because of the creative abilities of Mikel and Iwobi.

Just to point out because the position is tagged AMF, means Hazard was playing the 10 role. This is from one of the games highlighted as Hazard playing the AMF position. From the picture below you can see he was actually not playing the creative midfield role with three other players outside him and Cole in the midfield.

So take the stat with a pinch of salt.

In Chelsea not Belgium national team.

As tough as Iheanacho's experiences may have been he has never had it as Iwobi

Sometimes I marvel at the mental strength of the guy to keep on going despite what Arsenal fans have put him through

He was primarily a winger under Wenger although he played other positions. He even played as a right back during a preseason if you want to get technical

Iheanacho ass lickers are just as pathetic as it can get.

Iheanacho doesn't even get lampooned by Leicester fans every week, the way Arsenal Fans make a scape goat out of Iwobi any time the team lose a game. Yet the guy keeps improving and proving them wrong every week.

If Nacho can't handle criticism in football, cos he will always get one, he should probably look for another profession
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by chrisooblog: 3:58pm On Jun 07, 2019
usually when hazard plays the AMF role it's more like an auxiliary striker. you remember how bergkamp used to play for arsenal and kanu in his early super eagles days

Sleep and death baba..... sleep and death. Iwobi at least has the right system he plays in. He plays in a team that is fluid in passing. His only enemies are the arsenal fans who always want somebody to blame and find that the easiest target is Iwobi. Heck they even blame him for games they lost even though he wasnt even dressed.

Narrowing it home to Iheanacho, i never said he didnt lose form... but how did he get there? We all werent born with the same resilience. Some people take heartbreaks easy, others never recover from heartbreaks. At the end of it all, we are still all human beings. If yall have time, please watch a movie titled "full metal Jacket"..... Orí bíbé kó ni òògun orí fífó!

My position on Iheanacho is very simple, he got himself into this mess for whatever reason ranging from alleged british passport to actually signing for a team that will never develop him, let alone bring out the best in him. He therefore needs to get himself out and go to another country or another attacking team. I dont know Brendan Rodgers enough to trust him but time will tell. If he believes Leicester is the place to be, then he has to be prepared to do what he has never done before.

To be honest, I will be very much disappointed in Rohr if he takes this guy to Egypt!

U nailed right there bro.. I'm not an arsenal fan but I make it an habit to visit their social media pages after their games..Its rare to see Iwobi not being bashed in a game arsenal loss as long as he played.. on Twitter there are some accounts created solely to troll Iwobi.. Despite this the dude is still waxing strong.. though he is inconsistent, he still manages to churn out good performances sometimes...

Iheanacho crumble before the fans even got to him.I won't feel sad if he gets dropped.. He really needs the time to reflects on his career... ..

You were just beating about the bush.

You ended up saying nothing about how Nacho's experiences affected his form.

In summary, you said nothing

I have one Stat for you

Iheanacho is playing behind James Maddison who has created the most goal scoring chances in Europe

His inability to score goals is not about system or Vardy, Ndidi has 3 goals already this season from DM
