It's not by favoritism but style of play and positions. Azeez as a cm is limited of which I don't blame him cus he is a natural DM while aribo is a b2b midfielder/cm.

Both have thier qualities and even if Azeez is invited I don't see him benching ndidi though I will prefer him to esiti.

I have seen Azeez n agbo play so many times and IMHO agbo is a better player and more versatile ie can play both DM n cb positions comfortably
andrew444:


Because he is not their favorite player thats why, you don forget how people dey behave here?

As for me i leave everything to the coach, anyone being called up will have my full support.

He is limited as a cm. I have seen him play so many times, even if he scores tons of goals in laliga this season he can't lace Ndidi's boots.

He will be a good cover for ndidi in the bench
TheSuperNerd:
Ramon is a CM/DM. He is not just a DM. And come on, this is no hype. He does know how to read a game and uses that ability efficiently to snuff out dangers or makes runs into channels if need be. He is no dictator..... Being able to read a game does not mean he is a midfield dictator.No.. But he can pick a pass from deep and position himself well in a midfield role especially as DM in front of a back four. His passing, ability to read games and act swiftly and his workrate are three of his weapons.

You need to read what Sam Tighe said about him few weeks ago.

For instance, defenders like Van Dijk and De Ligt can read games but it doesn't make them team dictators.

Agbo again... Chaaaiii... Una dey maks me laugh ooo... Lol

Abi no b d same zubby dt makes simple one touch football and spread passes to oda players,he pass d ball better


Hiding from Charles sha grin

Zubby's team were trashed again this weekend and he was subbed after an hour. Is playing against Sudan under 23 our standard for quality?

Azeez might not be more skillful but he is proving himself in La liga this season.

And who is comparing both? Azeez is better than Azubike. I will start taking azubuike serious when he moves to a league where his performances can be easily monitored

As a CM, he will keep things simple and offer you quick transitions too. He can act as cover there.
For the DM role... Haba naa.. I am not saying he will displace Ndidi but he can act as a good quality cover for him too. The one thing Azeez has in his locker better than Ndidi is his passing. That said.. Azeez will bring extra depth to the side in both DM and CM roles alongside any other quality option.

Now who is telling you azeez will bench ndidi if invited? you no suppose even mention this one

As for me i didnt say azeez or anyone else should be invited, but if he does or anyone who is not your favorite player then accept it than trying to speak of what the player is good at or not, rohr wey go invite player knows his tatics

Mind you am not a fan of azeez but i am just being sincere, and i still have no problem with agbo, anybody rohr invite as far as e dey get game time for him club then i will support

So because zuby team was trashed and he was subbed out and you wanna use that as what if i may ask?

Thats how you said zuby doesnt make the istanbul team without getting the rightful information, are you not the one thats already judging him because he didnt take part in the preseason ?

You are speaking of sudan u23 why didnt you speak about him playing in the turkish league, is etebo not playing in the championship, is he not doing well in the eagles, when awaziem played at this last afcon that just ended the club he played previously is it not the turkish league? didnt he perform well at right back?

So now subbing out a player means he doesnt deserve a look?

Una no go change

Not playing or getting minutes in the national team doesn't mean he is not decent. Agbo I repeat is a better DM than Azeez. I followed both in laliga few seasons ago and have my reasons for insisting that agbo is better.

You all re clamouring for Azeez now because he has scored twice so far this season without putting into consideration his stats when compared to that of agbo in the DM position.

Goal scoring for DMs is a plus but what matters most is how good the player is at breaking play of the opposition, interception, aerial duels, decision making and ball distribution and recovery rate. Also physicality is essential in the DM position.

Azeez has played more as a CM this season. That allows him the freedom to get in the box.

You all re jerking off now cus Azeez hv scored 2wice this season and one against almighty barca but is that enough?

I still maintain my stand that Azeez is an OK DM midfielder and I rate agbo ahead of him. Mind you I am an Azeez fan right from when he emerged from the U17s where he finished as the tournaments 3rd best player.


Azeez have been the same since he emerged in laliga many seasons ago and till date I see no changes in his game but that doesn't stop me from admitting the fact that he is a decent player and good enough for super eagles bench.

Honestly am okay with any invites cos it don tey wey i don dey follow eagles,since 1980 my man.

Speaking down on players how? He stated the fact and there u re seeing it as hate. No be same una wey go hype Nwakali jnr to high heavens after a match with the u23 and when he returns to Portugal then he will be glued in Porto b's bench in the Portuguese 2nd tier.

Someone not rating a particular player is not out of hate but that he or she is yet to be convinced with the players qualities.

My man am not even talking about quality of the league but quality of the two players.

We need more player who can fight for CM/AM position and performing player should be invited and let see what they can do.

Aribo has shown us that we got the talents and i don't see any reason why a performing midfielder in La liga would not be a good addition to the squad.

I want to see Eze and Azeez slug it out with Iwobi,Etebo and Aribo and let see how it goes


The first and the second bolded are contradicting.

Don't forget Joel Obi was performing at Serie A but still couldn't replicate same when called to the SE?

Nevertheless, we all want the best for the team, let's see how some additions here and there can improve the team.

How can a sincere football fan judge a player because he was subbed out? that person sabi watch ball? they judge a player when he was subbed out but they didnt they remember to praise the player when he was not being subbed out
