Somebody wants to recoup money from selling Tijani to the national team.

This country people dey do mago mago think say everybody na mumu

He played for 12 minutes

Is Awaziem injured? He didn't make the match day squad

forgiveness:


Why should I make case for Nwakeame when we have better wingers?

Do you have sense at all?

I am talking about dropping a player who did well in Laliga for players in obscure leagues. Can't you understand?

Mr follow follow.

TheSuperNerd:
Porto is still his parent club so he was left out. Most likely his move to Boavista from Porto included a clause of them not featuring him against them.

Tijani has not emerged yet... He is in development, still a long way to go.

Ofoborh has been playing CB.

I didn’t expect Super Eagles call-up ― Samson Tijani

Red Bull Salzburg loanee Samson Tijani has confessed that his maiden invitation to the Super Eagles for their upcoming friendlies against Ivory Coast and Tunisia came as a surprise, and has claimed that he did not have any contact with manager Gernot Rohr and his assistants in the days leading up to the squad announcement.

However, the former Golden Eaglets skipper has revealed that the Franco-German football tactician assured him and other Nigeria U17 stars last year that there was a pathway into the Super Eagles if they kept doing well.

Tijani has jumped two age groups – Flying Eagles and Olympic Eagles – following his first call-up to the Super Eagles and after only four matches as a professional and 322 minutes under his belt. “I feel good about being invited but I didn’t expect the call-up because I just moved to Europe,” Tijani said. “It was amazing when I came to Europe, I didn’t even play in the academy, went directly to the first team. “When I was sent on loan, I went straight to the starting lineup, I have played all the games.

Danielnino00:


The fact that Tijani is based in Austria where the games will take place might be another factor why he was considered..

I dunno why forgiveness isn't looking at the positive side of this squad...

It's not like Azeez has been frozen out of the team already..

TheSuperNerd:
Stats to justify? Where in the discussion did I drop stats to justify Ramon being dropped?

benji93:
But this sparta coach no dey try at all. . You buy goalkeeper put am for bench. At least him dey play for Dusseldorf II. First choice goal keeper don chop 4 today. Make we see whether dem go play am for cup matches. Ah. . Nigeria don suffer for goalkeeper matter. No be smal thing.

tbaba1234:
I missed the Porto game, who watched Sanusi?

maidaboi:
impressive

mowah:

Lol na true bro, Nigeria has always had this goalkeeping issues for over 15 years now, Enyeama just masked it, remember those days it wasn’t him between the sticks how shaky it used to be, but why won’t we have such issues when the grassroot is faulty, In Nigeria na the most otu player wey wan play by force dey do keeper in grassroot football, that’s how Uzoho became a goalkeeper sef, when I visit some academies here in Lagos, the goalkeepers are the most ignored when it comes to technical training.

Philosopher1979:


You mean very impressive. Guess you watched it. Tell us how well he played

maidaboi:
he attack and defended very well for the small time he was in and they played a weak team

elunico:


I don't like the fact that Oforboh is being played at the back. He'd make a fine MF If allowed to develop there.

Lucque:


The Guys arguing should also take into consideration that some of these guys have not being playing...since some of the leagues just resumed...azeez has played only 10mins against athletic bilbao.....i stand to be corrected tho...most people on the reserve list are either match rusty or just plain unlucky...either way let's calm down on the conspiracy theories of tribalism..

tglobal:
Make of this what you will. Based on the bolded below, I will say kudos to Mr Rohr! He definitely means well and thinking of the future he may not be a part of. Very good incentive for Tijani and his mates to continue to work hard.

BascoVanVeli:



Yea the Ramon Azeez issue pain me too sha. Bros got an assist in our last match he deserved a spot. I just hope like u said he is part of Rohr's plans because this would be one for the detractors to sit their hat on

BascoVanVeli:
Shout out to the last stylebender Israel Adesanya. UFC can't handle our naija boys at all at all

timay:



Even Emyeama was not all that different from UZoho them when he started out with super eagles. He started getting it right late in his career

tglobal:


Definitely a factor. It seems to me this is Rohr saying " Hey, we're in your neighborhood, come hangout with us. By the way, remember what I said to you last year? I still have my eyes on you"

daveP:
Combo of Avatar Aang and Bruce Lee/IpMan's Come Chop Beating hand beckon. 20-0!!!! 99-6 overall. Expect more Nigerians from Lagos taking it up in coming years.

sheyishemba:


Exactly he was impressive in the last match he came on for iwobi and got an assist he knows how to calm the midfield he prevent unnecessary pressures from opposition he knows how to keep his shit calm and simple..azzez not making the team has cause controversy both here and all other social media considering the fact the our only VISIBLE CMF we have is injured azzez should have been slot in to replace aribo.

Starboytwo:
but i keep wondering, we dont have those ufc facilities in naija now but our boys are world champs.... High time some private investors key in on this sport... We are always good with combat sport, boxing, weightlifting, wrestling etc...

Subzero47:


I think he will make a finer CB, he is not really keen on playing the ball but his positional awareness and aerial ability are excellent

elunico:


I still don't like the idea though.

He's been decent so far, he's comfortable on the ball too.
