SE List - confirmed C NWAKALI called!!

[The YeyeMan]

I don't know what Esiti has done to warrant his continued exclusion. He played really well whenever he was called upon in GWG.

I agree. I thought he played well when he came on vs Zambia. The competition for midfield places is pretty strong.

Esiti is too one dimensional for this team, he plays one position in one way only and he’s slow.

I though I was the only one that noticed, he's a pure destructive player without much finesse going forward, we should be past that type of (Olofinjana, Prince Ekong) player...the likes of Ndidi and Onazi are the type of two way midfielders we need with speed and lungs to contribute on both sides of the ball, comfortable with the ball at their feet and can pass. Etebo also, but seems he's dropped in the pecking order.

I see just two new faces. This is a good list.

Bros, weren't you and Ayo just babbling on about using these games to test new players?

In fairness, na uncle Ayo wey dey advocate for 19 new players

[chief nfachairman]

Good list with good insertion of new players. Onyekuru is a good one.

Not dold on Nwaksli especially when Ifeanyi Mathew is doing better in the same league. Eventually, i expect Joel obi (if he stays fit) and Esiti to be the new additions to the mf. And k.nwaksli if he can be regular this season in VVV.

Still expecting the call up for kayode and onuachi. They have many more months to show the gaffer that they deserve serious consideration

How often does Obi stay fit? I like Obi as a player, but no serious coach will take Obi seriously. Its not his fault, but he has a serious injury history and you cannot build a team with a player like that. That is the kind of player you take to the world cup, he plays the first game and he is amazing, plays the second game and gets injured and he is out of the whole world cup. Are you going to waste one slot on a player you cant trust to stay healthy???

Sir, this is NOT playstation!

I said "if he stays fit". I didnt expect him to be called up for this round of matches and I dont expect him to be called up for any match in January either. BUt if he stays fit, I expect him to be called up for the final camp in May.

And whether you like it or not, he is one of our top3 midfilders in Europe (When he stays fit for upto 1month)

This team list makes a bold statement which is loud and clear. Many who contributed and sabotaged our previous world cups by supporting the replacement of players that fought for qualification with wastepipes and the club less will be very upset. They know themselves they shamelessly supported the selection of Reuben, Uchebo, Sola, Babatunde and co. Now with a foreign coach no chance for that rubbish. Any player that has not put in his application to change nationality now will not be cleared by FIFA in time for the World Cup so forget about them being called up for a friendly it not going to happen.

ROhr did not say he would not invite players who didnt take part in the worldcup qualification. It is more of, to make it to this team now, you have to prove that you are absolutely better than those that qualified us for the WC. If there would be no new players, why is Onyekuru and Nwakali on the list.

AGain, i support his approach 100%.

This is what ROhr said in his interview:

“The players who qualified us for the World Cup, I don’t forget them,” Rohr said.

“Maintaining exactly the same team (for the World Cup) will be difficult as the team will keep changing because of injuries and some of the players not playing regularly at their clubs.

“We will continue to follow these players, but perhaps we will need in one, two positions better players, possibly a better team.”

Oh! you are absolutely right! He is, and I like it!

But whether you like it or not, HE WILL NOT BE CALLED UP! AND NOTHING YOUR TEARS CAN DO TO CHANGE THAT! MAKE E PEPPER YOU WELL WELL!

I think Agu and Ogu (both good players by the way) are just as one-dimensional. Even Ify Ify who's always on the standby list is pretty much a destroyer too

GOOD! so you agree that we have 2 one-dimensional player??? and yet you want us to have more?

Maybe we can dimensionalize our stock of one-dimensional players

Pretty sure what all the people bringing up Esiti mean is that we should bring him in to compete with the other guys similar to him in the team.

[olu]

Agu is not as one dimensional as some say. He looks very comfortable bringing the ball up the field and makes good decisions. Ogu strikes the ball very well and is a goal scoring threat, however, he's not quick enough and doesn't cover enough ground. Onazi, Ndidi, and Agu cover more ground than Ogu and make their presence felt defensively.

Haven't seen enough of Esiti to rate him.
