But we don field some jacked up players for SE o.

Remember no. 5 and no. 20??

That Etuhu family sef, his brother na 'kickboxer'

Rabiu Afolabi, Danny Shittu, Uche Okechuwku, Emenalo, Emenike, Rashidi Yekini, Peter Utaka, Eneramo, Taye Taiwo, Amokachi

Rabiu Afolabi and Etuhu were limited but actually decent players. Afolabi was already past him prime in 2010 and should not have been in the squad.

What is even more baffling is why Keshi took the likes of Agbim, Egwuekwe, Amoebi, Uchebo, and Babatunde to the 2014 world cup.

Had Afolabi and Etuhu played during the qualifiers it would have been revealed that they were past it. Now some folks want us to do the same thing and clear out squad and replace with players nobody is really sure of during a competitive match. Foreign coach it’s not going to happen.

[Eaglezbeak]

Nigerians can’t be trusted when it comes to such decisions let Rohr do his job or the Yak and Ogbechi will come out of retirement to replace the likes of Iwobi

[YemiBrazil]

I remember our ceremonial captain (No 2) - we should stop emphasizing past exploits. If you don't leave football, football will naturally leave you

Some of these players had used some funny means and played "psychological strategies" to get to/stay in the team. I remember when Siasia just got SE job. Etuhu claimed he called Siasia's phone and he ignored him. He went on media saying Siasia disrespected him by not returning his calls and swore never to play for Nigeria again under Siasia. Then came Keshi, who invited him, dropped him to the bench when he obviously could not hack it, then subsequently dropped him.

At that stage, our ceremonial captain was more interested in protecting "his boots", which he will need to continue is "career" in "za oza" pitch.

Akpeyi should take a good look at this picture.

It seems we are referring to different meanings of jacked.

Don't forget Uzoenyi, the short left footer, kai he was the woooooorst!

Yeah, we definitely are not on the same page with the author

Beware of words. Better still, beware the swift de-railing of meaning. Jack to Jackal, just like that.

[Goldleaf]

Fading memories abound. d#$% Etuhu was actually a decent box-to-box player. Folks should cut him some slack. Now, if thread starter had said Furo Iyenemi or Emeka Ifejiagwa...ok!

[1naija]

Akpeyi should take a good look at this picture.

And what was the result of this picture?

[john12]

I remember uzoenyi top notch performances at CHAN only for him to regress at the big stage. That’s why I’m very skeptical about dropping any of our proven player for inexperienced players. Sometimes, it’s not even that the inexperienced players are bad. however, World Cup stage frightening might had just been the reason at this point only exceptional players should be given a chance ahead any players that we know

Not a goal from what I remember

[Tobi17]

Etuhu was actually a decent player, there was just something about that generation that just wasn't right, maybe it was the system we played with but the underwhelming factors that bedeviled what was supposed to be a solid team pass man matter... never shall we experience that era ever again.

Murds, delete this picture. It's not a good representation of the best captain Nigeria ever had.

Yeah, I agree. He wasn't that bad....but that team wasn't right.

... maybe agents of the players did their jobs very well

[jdizzy]

I still get mad upset when I think of the agbaya's that Keshi took to Brazil in 2014. Speak not evil of the dead dizzy....
