Simy on 11 goals in Serie A and not even in the list of invites at all. Things don dey change. grin

Our depth in attack is so wicked that a player on double figure goals in Serie A couldn't even make the latest Super Eagles list.

12 goals in the worst team in Seria A (big 3) all I will say is that SE striker position belongs to no one and strikers in form should be given a chance. It doesn't make sense when the people omitted has more goals than all the people invited combined. Makes no sense

Ex Footballer, Finidi George Faults Coach Gernot Rohr Over AFCON Qualifiers Squad
March 12, 2021
Former Super Eagles player, George Finidi, has faulted coach Gernot Rohr’s squad list for Nigeria’s 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Lesotho. On Tuesday, March 9, the German coach released a 24-man list that included Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, who has been without a club since leaving Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr last October. Genk striker Paul Onuachu, who has scored just once in seven appearances, has failed to replicate his club form for the national team. For his club, he has scored 26 goals with three assists in 30 games across all competitions. Speaking with Punch, George Finidi admitted that Musa is a quality player who has done a lot for the country but should not be on the list on the basis of form or fitness. The 49-year-old former winger also questioned the process of inviting players to the national team before saying that striker Paul Onuachu’s poor form with the Eagles has been down to poor coaching. “Coaches should be made to defend their list when they come up with names that are questionable. Coaches should not be left alone. “They should be made to explain how they arrived at certain decisions on who they invite. Journalists should question the names on the list.” “I have a problem with his list, selecting centre-backs as midfielders and right-backs in the midfield.” “In the case of Paul Onuachu, who was snubbed, if you want a player to perform, you set up your formation in a way to make him comfortable. He has struggled largely because of poor coaching.” “This is Rohr. The coach you expect to take us to the World Cup and win the AFCON. If he was a Nigerian that made these decisions, we would critique him, but here’s a coach who is supposedly very experienced, the choices are questionable.” The Super Eagles will face Benin in Porto Novo on March 27 before facing the Lesotho three days later in their final 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, on March 30.

Of course , the list is questionable. When has his lists not been questionable ?

How can you drop two of your hottest strikers in Europe. Like Finidi said, Onuachu's inability to perform rest on the laps of the coach(Rohr). There is something he is not getting right with Onuachu. Maybe it has to be the way he plays him. You isolate him and doesn't feed him balls and expect him to score.

These Ex footballers never learn. As future coaches, you should be mindful of how you critique current coaches because your time will eventually come and don't claim victim. This is how oliseh was running his mouth at Keshi (RIP) until he was given a chance. The rest became History

You don't play Onuachu with inverted wingers it's as simple as ABC, when you play Onuachu you play him with traditional wingers so that they can get the cross in to him and he does his job

Where are all those who were prophesying that Onuachu would be the first name on the list when released. They said so with an aura of arrogance suggesting that they have a seat somewhere at Rohr's table. They've forgotten that the man has dropped Onuachu in the past and he was only made the list as a replacement for an injured player. Nonsense!!!

I would always pick Simmy ahead of an Onuachu who struggles to trap a pass, win Ariel duels or even position himself to be seen.
