Re: Top Contenders to Coach our SE

I will like Rohr to continue in the short term but bring in Amunike as assistant. Amunike to take over later. Utter nonsense! Amunike is a more accomplished individual than the journeyman. Are you really taking the piss? Rohr ‘s contract expires in Dec. Sacking him immediately might be too expensiv...

Re: Two players Rohr will drop from AFCON 2019 revealed

Kelechi should make it. I think Osimhen and Ajayi will be dropped. Rohr likes variation in attack and Kelechi is a left footer ; Onuachu is big and tall.

Re: I am not too perturbed about today's loss

Ayo: I agree with most of your views. However Moses is not inspiring at the moment and Ighalo, for whatever reason, is not giving us the cutting edge. I will bring in Musa in place of Moses and Simi for Ighalo.

Re: Some observations on the Czech Friendly

We have GK, Defense, Midfield, Striker problems. Let us face it - the team is poor all round. It is not the formation - just the personnel. Simple crosses to our box and we get all jittery. Moses is not playing for the team. Idowu is not WC material and broke down most of the attacks. The only 2 +ve...

Good analyses but I don't agree about Musa. I prefer Henry Oyekuru to play wide position alongside Moses.

Re: How would you line up vs SERBIA

It seems , from the final training lineup, that Musa will play the top striker position. I believe that is the same position Musa plays for CSKA?

If you are referring to Ebuehi, he appears to be nursing a slight injury and trained separately yesterday from the rest of the team.

Re: AKPEYI IS BACK!

Akpeyi explains (see link below) why he handled the ball outside the box. In my opinion he is still a good GK and should be considered as one of the goalies for Russia 2018.

Re: Anyone following U-17 WC currently being played in India

Yes. I am watching Ghana vs USA and our own Akinola just scored for USA against the "pikin Bredas". Also Akinola came on as a second-half substitute for Weah (son of George Weah): what an irony

Re: WILL CAMEROON GO TO THE BENCH?

I think a player like Kelechi can make a difference in this kind of game. Kele is a very efficient striker and should definitely come on in the 2nd half to break any deadlock
