Musa, to stop getting call up?

Awaziem too!?

ChrisKels:


Stop fooling around and stop this nonsense bkus it doesn't belong here. How would u feel if someone had made that statement "South West fools" about the Igbo nation?

Nerdy plz ban this thing if he persists with this stupidity in here. So much for a civilised man

In other news, Mexico struggles to beat Haiti!

I think I'd alight at the next Earth spin stop now

Danielnino00:


The pessimists won't see this one to talk about. Mexico needed a late goal to win the game self... Same Mexico that beat the defending world champions at the world cup...

it's alright

darkelf:


Its not the same Mexico as the WC. They have a different coach now

Danielnino00:


U have no point here... Mexico are fat superior to Haiti in football . they are ranked 18th while Haiti are 101st......

They have no business struggling to beat them...

whatever happen on Saturday awaziem should not play the right back if he can't displace one of the center backs he should seat on the bench and fasten the bench belt... his attitude against Madagascar make me cringe

komekn:


First of all I don't think Rohr has done badly he may not be adventurous.

But let's be honest do we have any real top players in our team, none of our strikers are game changers.

Considering the players available to Rohr he has done well. I don't think the inclusion of Osimhen and or Onyekuru would have made any major difference.

I am sure the coaching team have seen the players in training and used that to make thier selection.

I thought I was the only one that noticed. What exactly does Awaziem bring to this team? Even in the match against Guinea, Simon had to do more of covering him up than disturbing the Guinean defence.

Please tell Rohr to play CHUKWUEZE full time on Saturday. We need players that can regularly trouble the defence. Troubling the defence of your opponents makes them unsettled and prevents them from attacking, which is good. even if such troubling doesn't result in goals.

Ahmed Musa too, whether as a starter or a super sub. His runs are needed to destabilize Camerounians' attack.

Before you people start to judge Rohr, please first answer this question, can any player in super eagles score free kick or long range shot like Egypt Salah?

facts1234:



We had players that could do this, but we left them because " they aren't doing well in their clubs". Yes, we had Musa Muhammed.

What have " those doing well in their clubs" achieved?

We struggled in an easy group and Madagascar walloped us?

Not a single Super Eagles player in the best 11 AFCON round one games? It would have been better to take only the best home based players to this tournament. The embarrassment would not have exceeded this. Also, we don't have to waste our scarce resources that would have been put to bettering the lots of more Nigerians.

Lastly, we need to lend our voices to the call of getting ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS for our team. We need to talk about it very often. Because of 'Mikel", people shut their brains to quality players? Who did this to us?

PDPGuy:

The Dutch team are a well-drilled side. I’ve enjoyed some of their attacking moves in the tournament, but I just think the US are 90 or 120 mins away from defending their title.

Does any of them excite you?

Beauty or footballing skills wise?

Maybe Oshoala but she didn't live up to expectations at the WC

Ighalo, Balogun tear Eagles’ camp apart



 July 4, 2019

 

There is palpable unrest in the camp of the Super Eagles ahead of their round of 16 clash with Cameroon after two keys players clashed with Manager Gernot Rohr.

Our correspondent learnt that striker Odion Ighalo and defender Leon Balogun clashed with Rohr after the coach openly criticised them for the loss to Madagascar on their last group game.

Sources in the squad confirmed that the two players had heated altercations with the coach at their Helnan Palestine Hotel camp when he used harsh words in castigating them for the loss.


“Ighalo felt terribly bad when he heard about what the coach told the media that the team didn’t have strikers who were good enough. It infuriated him even the more when the gaffer mentioned similar thing during team’s meeting.

“Balogun too clashed with the coach, insisting the manager should not have singled him out for blames because of the mistake he made.
“I don’t think these players will play a part in the competition anymore but some officials of the Nigeria Football Federation have come in to resolve the problem, ” the source explained.

The players are aware of the situation and are also supporting their colleagues against the handler who was recently warned by the NFF to talk less.

Tell them clearly o.

How come Ighalo with all his experience has not been able to deliver? Onuachu has not been given enough time as Ighalo. Osimhen has not been given a chance either.

For the experience pundits, please tell RoHR to please substitute Ighalo for Osimhen at half time. Let each of them play one half so we can better assess them. It's also unfair to us and Osimhen. Why do we keep using Ighalo? Why?

How much experience did Mba have to cause havoc in the 2013 finals?

This Super Eagles TEAM is a pointer to the fact that Experience is over-rated.
