If Chukwueze played against Russia yesterday, he for Putin golazo o, his dribbles from the middle are now making sense than his dribbles from the wings.

Delete one, delete two, through-, GOAL 😂

Imagination wan kee me 😂

Una dey really dey quick forget things
The same Chukwueze

yemyke001:



This is the list sincerely. Any thing aside this is not a fair list based on what we have seen in the past 3 games

Except we find a better option for Olakunle sha

Your perception is your prejudice.

I've been talking about Ighalo and Obagoal before VO played U17.

In addition I went to Warri stadium to watch Etebo before that it was Mbah.

So now Etebo was one of your favourites too?

komekn:


First of all the basis of national team selection has to be outstanding consistent performance in league and club, EOD.

Chukwueze has had too many caps and not done much in my opinion and should not be there.

Olakunle has no basis to be there. Ndidi looks expired and hard working Frank doesn't offer any attacking threat.

I would have liked to see more effort to get a really top level CB like Tosin and there should have been more efforts to get midfielders Tim Iroegbunam and Carney Chukwuemaka.

Tolu looks very mobile and athletic for such a tall striker is he really 6"6❓ liked the composure and quality he used to score.

Igoh, Benjamin and Agu have not by club form justified inclusion, how many games has Benjamin played for Brentford ❓

What happened to Tella he has not had a run of games to make a claim, how could olakunle get in but not Tella.

Finally, Etebo is only 29 why don't we hear from him again did he upset somebody in the NFF.

Edit and do your list let's see sir.

The same Chukwueze

Chukwueze seems rejuvenated under Éric Chelle, you snooze, you dey bench. See small effup wey Sodiq effup, he just use am dey complete list. Papa Daniels seff never eff up, he just feel say he supposed dey bench. If Chukwueze doesn't play at his best, himself go chop bench for another person wey ready to play. So I don't see him underperforming under Chelle, except the entire team get bad game.

Do you know that:
Tolu Arokodare scored earlier than Victor Osimhen in the national team? 😁

- Victor Osimhen scored after 5 games played and 6 on the bench.
- Tolu scored in his 4th game, 1 on the bench, 0 starts and 98 total minutes played.

Then any list wey comot go get as e be 😤😤

So we'll delete Olakunle for one other NPFL goalkeeper (Amas Obasogie). Homebased player + goalkeeper.

Fixed 😁

Seems Victor Boniface has deleted his post.

Benjamin fedrick over Semi Ajayi
1 cap wonder vs 20 cap proven consistency?
Youth over Experience??
You need a large enough sample size (that is , appearances) to make an accurate evaluation about a player, you can’t just assess a player with the last performance only.

Chukweze is not yet an AM, don’t let the Jamaican performance fool you, he is too inconsistent and his es aren’t there yet, any good DM will easily neutralize him. Let a winger be a Winger. No one is close to Iwobi yet!

Olakunle can’t replace Boniface yet, Boniface played well yesterday even if he has not performed his primary objective yet which is to score. His gameplay is still okay and he’s still very useful to the team (What matters is how a player improves the team not their individual stats)

When only one goalkeeper gets to playboty games in September... Why name three??
Waste of space if you ask me... Unless it's a tournament

I have read that the NFF uses nameless jerseys so they can wash and reuse them after each match. Is this true?

Tolu Arokodare vs Russia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJZi1LlWSMo

komekn:


I've been talking about Aina for donkey years l didn't start today.

My best striker use to be Ighalo at the time, prior to that it was Obagoal and Yakubu who were all born in Peckham London

My best midfielder was Etebo and Mikel at the time who were both born in Moston, Manchester.

My best defender used to be Yobo who was born in Toxteth, Liverpool.

I'm talking of who is our best striker here and now, you are mentioning Ighalo and Martins.

Who is our best attacker now?

I agree Ndidi is better on the ball than Onyeka but credits to Onyeka pls... you saw the ing sequence that led to Fisayo being one on one with Safonov in the Russian goal. Who was the architect of that ing sequence that created that chance? It was Frank Onyeka.

I had to find the highlight of that chance to see it again... Firstly Onyeka brilliantly intercepted a Russia throw-in on the Naija right wing which fell to FDB.... FDB touched it to Onyeka and sped off... Onyeka drove forward, took out 2 challenges in sweet quick take ons and laid the to Boniface who found the still running FDB who was now one on one with Safonov.

We missed that big chance but that chance had Onyeka written all over it. He created that chance single handedly with his industry and BTL-style vertical plays.

Ndidi may be better on the ball but Onyeka has better drive vertically and contributes better to offensive transitions than Ndidi.

BankyGee:

Ndidi is better on the ball than Onyeka 🌝

Onyeka is good at duels and tackles, but on the ball, he just dey try.

Have u ever seen a super eagles list where only two gk was named ? Whether competition or not ,dere was even a time under rohr or so, where we took 4gk to a tournament 🏟️

BankyGee:

Onyeka is good at duels and tackles, but on the ball, he just dey try.

I think that's his primary duty as a defensive midfielder.... Make we leave ing/ on the ball for onyedika

Goke7:


Solanke

He say Martins and Ighalo. He don conveniently forget here and now

Chelle no wan hear anything once it is ndidi …dt man is starting every game under chelle except if injured

Because it has been a routine doesn't mean it's right.

To you sef e make sense? Use only one goalkeeper, then call three goalkeepers 😂

Have always wondered the reasoning behind that...

Using the third goalkeeper slot for a winger or midfielder would be better 🙃

Tosin hasn't given us the green light yet and before you go off on your favorite punching bag the NFF, He was asked pointedly by a Nigerian journalist after the Europa Conference League Final of his availability for the SE and he gave a none committal answer. Besides having watched him throughout the season he doesn't look like a vast step up in quality to what we currently have however his addition will be welcome if he wants to the setup.

Iroegbunam and Chukwuemeka are prospects but both can't be realistically ready for September which is the basis of the suggested list for the qualification games coming up. Additionally both players as talented as they are haven't shown distinct quality that they will upgrade our current setup in the short term.

Tella featured in the Unity Cup. He's ok but not the wow. Not an what we currently have.


Etebo has not really in the conversation for the past 4-5 years surprised you're bringing his name up. Last I heard was playing in some very low level league plus diminishing returns has entered into his game seriously. No more the player that was solid during the 2017-19 period for the SE.

Chukwueze looks to be picking up under Chelle. The ability is there just needs to build consistency.
