Agree.
The writing was on the wall. He hasn't been pulling his weight and that wasn't good enough at this level.

I said it here on CE that I have watched him enough to agree with Ebuehi himself on his initial self-assessment and hesitation that he was far from ready for the SE (and watching him last weekend against Ajax firmly reaffirmed that for me), but was nonetheless attacked by the likes of the ever-mouthy BP.

Was also surprised Lekan was not considered.
However, I struggle with your assertion wrt Ifeanyi. Really was not impressed with his play - he came across as slow, and often times, indecisive on the ball. He also made a lot of unforced errors (giving the ball away) and was caught multiple times dilly dallying on the ball.

Happy for these two...
Thought (along with Lekan Adeleye) they were the standouts on the WAFU team - especially Aremu.

Ifeanyi Matthew needs to be considered before Ifeanyi Ifeanyi.
Re: MIKEL, MOSES, IGHALO HEAD 23-MAN SQUAD FOR ZAMBIA
Why do we always argue which bench player is omitted or selected? None of those players will see action against Zambia until the game is won regardless of how they play for their clubs.

Ifeanyi committed lots of fouls, but I think that it was an integral part of his break-up-the-opposition’s-possession role. Danger would be that, depending on the officiating on any particular day - and of course the arguable inherent bias against African “physicality” (so-called) on the global stage - it could all end up pear-shaped. Nonetheless, in the classic holding role of shielding the back-four, providing a ready outlet, showing for passes, ball distribution and breaking up play, he and Aremu were quite the imperious pair.Otitokoro wrote:Was also surprised Lekan was not considered.

As mentioned severally, the soccer in Africa is very physically and that must be accounted for. I believe Rohr likes Ebuehi's skill set but there are other things to evaluate.

to be fair to Akepyi, he has been in good form lately for his South African club Chippa utd, still won't risk starting him...and please if Ezenwa is to start which is most likely to be the case against Zambia, someone better slap some seriousness into his head and tell him to cut out his gaffes and be focused, saw glimpses of his erratic decision making in the Wafu tournament.

Re: MIKEL, MOSES, IGHALO HEAD 23-MAN SQUAD FOR ZAMBIA
My question is, when will Iwobi finally break out for the SE? Can you imagine what our team will be like if he and Moses are firing on all cylinders in the same game? Even Real Madrid will not be able to handle us and we will crush GHANA 10 - 0.

Re: MIKEL, MOSES, IGHALO HEAD 23-MAN SQUAD FOR ZAMBIA
Okay, Gotti. We got this. Yobo is unarguably one of Nigeria's greatest. However, in the 2013 ANC, Enyeama actually captained the matches especially with Omeruo upstaging Yobo. Out of respect, and following hallowed soccer traditions, Enyeama handed Yobo the captain's band for Chief Yobo to go and get the cup handed to him. Incidentally, in the 1994 ANC, the same scenario occurred where Rufai captained and an injured Keshi was given the band to receive the cup.Gotti wrote:MODS!1naija wrote:Only 3 Nigerian captains has lifted the African Cup of Nations.Gotti wrote:Because a strong bench is just as important...1naija wrote:Why do we always argue which bench player is omitted or selected?

But who has done little or nothing to currently be in the team.
every list dem go parrot him name. Ask when they last watch him play, they will cite 2013 U-17..
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

So Osi boy was the president when he was sent to Sudan and other war torn nations that Buhari did not want to go?
I guess Onazi is Nigeria's captain because he stood in for Mikel while Mikel was injured.
Look, Vincent was the vice captain and like the good, loyal vice captain he was, he stood in for captain Yobo whenever Yobo had more important engagements like visiting with world leaders. But that did not make him captain just like Osiboy was never President of Nigeria.
Vincent eventually became captain but unfortunately his temperament did not allow him to lead Nigeria to ANC glory. So he can never ever be listed among the great men above. He served Nigeria well and deserve national honors but he can nver claim to captain Nigeria to an ANC title. So sorrry.
