SIMON HANGS A BRACE

[Gotti]

Two PKs against Eupen in the Belgian League (game presently in the 68th minute)...
Three Nigerians (Simon, Esiti and Samuel Kalu) starting for Gent, with Esiti bullying dudes as usual.

[ogasir]

How is Kalu playing?

[Gotti]

How is Kalu playing?

All 3 Nigerians are playing relatively well tonight (Kalu has been taking the CKs, Simon the FKs)...
Simon and Kalu are doing quite well running at the Eupen defense (but often without the final product).

[Gotti]

Game over! Gent wins 3-0...

[marutimon]

A penalty brace but still counts

[felarey]

[Mr Shows]

All good for confidence...

[Damunk]

A penalty brace but still counts

Well, it does show the confidence the team has in his penalty-taking technique.

I am struggling to see how Simon Moses will get into the 23 bearing I’m mind Rohr will only take four wide men to Russia. Would you pick him ahead of Moses, Onyekuru, Iheanacho, Bezee, Dessers or even Musa self?

When one goes into battle one takes dependable soldiers so far in the heat of battle Simon has been dependable scored against The African champions to ensure 9ja game against Zambia was not a do or die affair. You want Rohl to drop him for Onyekuru, Bezee,Dessers none which have prove in the GWG they are better. Rohl would be a fool to replace Simon with players that have no international experience. The purpose of the qualifiers is for nations to build their team. But in your world you think it is ok to replace players with inexperienced players with no proof thEy are better then their replacements and expect to do well at the World Cup. Nigeria has been down this road before and it lended in failure. Which other country has abandoned all their players that featured in the qualifiers for inexperienced players and have done well? England took Jack Wiltshire to the Euro having not played a single qualifier and we know how that campaign ended. In your words ,I put it to you that Simon Moses will be on the plan to Russian barring any injuries. Your campaign against our players will simply fail because we have a foreign coach.

Kpom he brings a unique set of attributes to the table and deserves his place in the team
Although I don't see a need for BOTH him and Musa
Daddy Ajala is far from perfect but to be honest, we should be thankful this is the calibre of player we are arguing over
I think back to the days of uchebo, uzoenyi ,Reuben , gambo,Dike, okechukwu Gabriel and Shola ameobi
We've come a long way since then
If the most controversial players on rohr's squad are agu,Simon and echejile we aren't doing too bad

[Tbite]

Abeg we don't need to look hard for positives.

The guy gave a MOTM performance!

[Bugzy Malone Accent]Watch this [/Bugzy Malone Accent]

[/video]

For the second penalty, he was actually the one that won the ball! For the first penalty, the technique was better than many goals scored from live play! Kaii emphatic, not quite a Panenka, but almost as good! Did it stop there? bobo's would be assist was as good as Kalu's first assist, but the guy on the end couldn't bury it. Actually it was probably even better technique, since he wrapped his foot around it and curved it on platter.

Perfect performance.

Moses Simon has won the Belgium league and cup,has champions league experience, is a seasoned World Cup qualifier campaigner, has represented 9ja at every level. Robr has selected him for every squad he has managed so far, has played well and contributed to Nigeria qualifying for the World Cup . Is aregular for his club.And you want him dropped for players that have not won the league or Cup have no international caps. Have not represented 9ja at any level but based on a hunch they will be better. On what basis are those you advocate are better than Moses???

[Zelex]

Moses Simon will 100% make the World Cup squad barring injury and he deserves it.

He has done well but the World Cup is out of his league. He is simply not talented enough to play at this level!

[Otitokoro]

So, what assurances do you have that the people who you've mentioned, particularly Bazee (who has not even kicked a competitive ball for club this season) and Dessers (who is a neophyte, having NOT played international football at ANY level), would be better options to Simon Moses? I think its really silly (actually, irresponsible) of anyone to even posit that argument.
Fact is: for all intents and purposes, Simon Moses has more than earned his place on the team.

Realistically, in a squad of 23, and based on the formation the coach seems to incline towards (his antecedents), he might likely go with 4 wingers. Based on current form, the hierarchy is the following:
1. Victor Moses
2. Alex Iwobi
3. Simon Moses
4. The rest: Ahmed Musa, Onyekuru and Bazee will fight for the 4th spot.
An interesting twist might be the addition of Kayode to the mix (pace, performance in a competitive league and an ability to be versatile - i.e. play as a striker). He tends to play off the flanks and can be played as a winger.

That means the 4th winger spot will be a toss up between Larry Kayode, Henry Onyekuru and Ahmed Musa.

In your opinion, is Moses Simon a better player than Henry Onyekuru?
