But odey plays regularly.

See, Nacho is even behind Ayize Perez. Of vardy injures today, Perez would be starting at that position. How can someone be behind vardy and yet has just 2 starts??. Let's be honest, Brendan tells the media one thing (praises nacho) but does another (just 2 starts). You sef, think am now

2 starts.... 2 goals. Nacho will leave January and let see what will happen when he start playing regularly. In the meantime u just have to sheath your sword. Give him a run of games and if he fail to deliver, you can bring out your sword OK.

The Super Eagles are back home. They have landed in Abuja.

Like loosing to Madagascar 2:0? Please give it a rest. Keshi's team qualified for the world cup as African champions and made the second round. An achievement Rohr haven't been able to match.
Respect to whom it's due.

Are we still acting like the Madagascar game wasn't a dead rubber?

England can't accomodate too many players of Nigeria origin in their set up.

take it from me...no European country can ever be like France in the integration of Africans into their national team football

it all date back to the policy of assimilation...where Africans were assimilated into the French culture and way of life.... Africans in French colonies were seen as an extension of French citizenship even though it fails in many areas...but it shows the mind and heart of France towards their colonies and such is still play today reason why they have no problem infusing Africa blood into their national teams...

just check their under 17 team...almost all black Africans...and the unity and harmony in the team is top notch...which can never happen with the English....

remember Willshire saying then that the English team don't need foreigners as regard junizaar (former man united player and now belgian international) quest to play for England then...

forgiveness:


Rohr wanted a natural left footed player. The reason he drafted Collins and Chukwueze into team.

Maybe you didn't follow the thread then.

What I said and what you typed don't correlate

komekn:


If you can not prove his age then what is purpose of your proposition.

It's vice versa, you can not have it both ways.

Unfortunately and shamefully Nigeria does not have OFFICIAL AUTOMATIC BIRTH DATA CAPTURE. As a consequence it is IMPOSSIBLE to have official age verification in Nigeria.

In Nigeria we rely entirely on personal integrity which knowing our country and it's value system is very very weak indeed.

We can't even have basic free and fair elections.


Consider your claim in bold and the substanceof your initial statement. i.e. " were you there when he was born "

So back to you, prove that Ahmed Musa is 27 ❓

27 is on his legal document which is above anything else in validity

now prove to us that he's below or above that age

NIGERIA pundit John Fashanu has tipped Rangers star Joe Aribo to be their best player for a generation after underlining how impressed he's been with the Ibrox ace.

Aribo is with his international squad preparing for an African Cup of Nations game against Lesotho in Maseru.

And so impressive has his performances been for the Super Eagles that former Wimbledon and England striker Fashanu, who was a director of the Nigerian FA, presents Nigerian game show TV programmes and has even acted in the Nigerian film industry, believes they have found a gem by persuading Aribo to play for the African nation.

He said: "Aribo is going to be a very important player for Nigeria.

"He is going to be one of our key players for years. He's been doing very well for Rangers and has been exceptional since his debut for Nigeria.

"Joe is going to be targeted by the opposition because they know what he can do. It's important he is used properly by us because he's vital for the team."


And Fashanu's comments were echoed by Lesotho manager Thabo Senong, who pinpointed Light Blues ace Aribo as Nigeria's danger man.

He said: "Nigeria have very strong and skillful players.
"Joe Aribo is one of them. He has been doing well at his club and everyone knows he is a very dangerous player. He's one we have to watch."

baba, do you just Google Search Aribo and bring us all the news you see.

OMANBALA1:


Rohr is spoilt with talented players playing in decent clubs, whereas during Keshi , Siasia and Oliseh we were still going through the drought

Was there a time when we lacked talented players_? Those coaches made questionable selections bro

he nor dey do nonsense. As coach nor gree play am wetin u say make he do? Make he kee himself? Afterall 2 games wey coach play am, he don scored 2 goals.

2 goals in 2 games... Nacho is on fire

Cc komekn how market?

He should move na . Why do I think his game time is influenced by the big boys just like musa scenario.

tbaba1234:


Let Ozornwafor start playing for his club first.

I think Dessers might be a good back up for Osimhen. He is doing very well this season.

OK....

andrewbaba44:


Which ozonwafor? I tire for some of una self

Awaziem is yet to play his main position and someone is here calling ozonwafor

you suppose know why I mentioned Ozonwafor. As at now, Decent defenders eligible to play for Nigeria are mostly FB. And I expect us to be tired of them using us to play Ludo.

MetalJigsaw:

You are on point, see the attackers we took to 2013 confederation cup while we left experienced hands like Osaze, Martins and IK Uche at home
7-Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow), 8-Brown Ideye (Dynamo Kiev), 9-Joseph Akpala (Werder Bremen), 11-Muhammad Gambo (Kano Pillars), 14-Anthony Ujah (FC Cologne), 15-Michael Babatunde (FC Kryvbas) 20-Nnamdi Oduamadi (Varese)

charlesemeka85:
Kenneth Omeruo's irregular game time at Spanish club CD Leganes counted against him when Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr chose the starting line-ups for the two recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho.

Udinese's Troost-Ekong is the only undisputed starter in the Super Eagles central defence, with Omeruo and Ajayi vying for the remaining spot.

While the former Chelsea man has not been involved in four of the last ten games played by Leganes in La Liga, his rival Ajayi has started 17 games for West Brom this season - 16 in the EFL Championship and one in the League Cup.

On why Ajayi partnered Ekong, Rohr told reporters including allnigeriasoccer.com after Sunday's win vs Lesotho: ''Semi is a good partner (for Troost-Ekong) but you know a team can change depending on what the players are doing in their clubs,''

''We had some players with injuries, they didn't play so much, Musa was one of them, he was injured, Omeruo also had the same problem.

''What we have is good competition for the starting positions.''

Today makes it exactly four months Omeruo last played a game for the Super Eagles and it was against Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The bold seems ambiguous yes he was owned by Chelsea but never played one game for Chelsea.

Every team national and club is always on the look out for better players to increase competition for places.

We need more players to be invited and tested. We invite a midfielder from the Nordic leagues in the name of Nwakali who had nothing.

Then we ignore players across Europe who are doing good things at thier clubs.

I guess this is Nigeria

Even the way he bulldozed the defender to set up iwobi and assist to chukwueze I was just thinking drogba drogba

ChrisKels:



The one that hit the bar, had Drogba written all over it.



Honestly Osimhen gives me joy.

Danielnino00:
As poor as Jamilu Collins is,I'll still prefer him to Idowu. Idowu na confirmed carpenter. Having him on that left flank will dull our offensive play...

If Rohr can't get another left footed left back, then let's continue with Aina there....he is better than Collins and Idowu combined

Based on a game against LESOTHO?

How can he be better than both of them combined? make una soft pedal with this hype and wait until we see him against worthy teams

In respect to your last paragraph, Gerard once made a similar comment though Gerard was talking in reference to having too much foreigners in the premiere league.

Speak for urself oga. Which one be ‘we’?
When I predict top 3 for Naija before AFCON start, that one na prophet of doom? Yeye talk lol

kellycute:
we know u already. Anytime we Wan play tournament u go turn to prophet of doom. All dis sweet praise u dey knack ontop our team right now na jus format. We know where ur allegiance lie.

charlesemeka85:
my brother the matter tire me. if rohr wants to bring in more centre halves he should go for any of uduokhai,
adarabioyo or iorfa. these guys are not better than ozonwafor but at least they are playing regularly in their respective clubs. i think the combo of ekong and ajayi should be tried more in subsequent games while omeruo should try to get back to reckoning at leganes

Let me not be biased and negatively subjective.

Why would you consider Ozonwafor ❓ Irrespective of club and league.

Using my never ending proposition for identification.

Has he been consistently consistent with top class outstanding performances for clubland league over time.

Because you have said he is better than Uduokhai and Iorfa. I personally don't think Uduokhai is better than Iorfa from the few times l have watched him play.

I am curious know what your view is which is mostly objective.

Adarabioyo has been dissapointing from day one IMO playing pretty football at Man city. It simply doesn't prepare for the harsh reality of physically intense football in the EPL and Championship.

Not surprisingly Adarabioyo was woeful at WBA he has gone to a struggling Blackburn. Where it is all hands on deck and he may have learned very quickly.

I say this because first time I really watched Tomori playing RB for Hull city he was average if not below. Now he has improved so much in one season he is playing for England.

Players improve with time although not all.

Why is it hard for people to understand? I don't label players and crucify them. Follow what they are doing at PRESENT.
Akpeyi is very much hated but I lauded his recall to the team. If KC starts to perform today I will clamor for him as I once did in the past. SENTIMENTS OUT!

Lucque:

Agreed without pause the HERE and NOW is the pertinent issue.

It's not always about physicality.. He is doing very well this season. We won't agree on this one.

komekn:


Sadiq Umar hmmmmm get as he be.

Physically imposing player with zero physicality.

Unfortunately we have not seen Josh Maja play for the SE and he is just about average or below at his club.

The slower paced and less physical game doesn't seem to suit him. Either that or he is simply not good enough.

komekn:


Agreed without pause the HERE and NOW is the pertinent issue.

you have been advocating for some nothing players of recent. Does the here and now not apply to them?

tbaba1234:


I hope Iheanacho joins an EPL team that will give him minutes. I do not like this Turkey talk. Go to Turkey and it is hard to come back to main stream Europe.

Tbaba1234

You supriseme with this comment.

Tell me what team in the EPL will buy a striker who has scored 5 goals over three seasons in the EPL.

Then add his huge transfer fee and wage demands.

I think he may decide to run his contract down because nobody will pay £15 million for him now.

Championship clubs will look at him as not suited and or good enough if they have promotion ambitions.

So Turkey is his best bet at the moment so he may get half of his current pay but because of the favourable tax regime. He may end up with the same money.

Furthermore, the football thier is not as taxing and he may be able to score once again.

Joebie:

In that moi moi league.

With low quality teams.

komekn:


I can see us beating Austria but not comprehensively.

A possible draw with Denmark.

But beating Croatia, Portugal and England is a very tall order.

You make sense bros

But I still think we will beat Denmark and Austria

safarigirl:

I don't think you should really be saying anything you don't know quality players when they are staring you in the face.

You have NO IDEA.

You are too blinded by emotive sentiment to make an informed decision. You are calling players NOTHING PLAYERS.

So who are the NOTHING PLAYERS by your uninformed sentiment based opinion. ❓

Because you haven't mentioned any names.

I have no doubt that Iheanacho can score goals in the EPL. He has done well when he has been given the chance in cup games this season.

He can certainly perform in a better league than Turkey.

I want him to go to a top 5 league.
