I didn't know Walter Matzarri had taken over there.

subbed out in the 73rd minute. Very good showing..this guy is ahead of Etebo, Onazi in the midfield and can play other positions to boot. I expect him to make Rohr's shortlist.

He must be considered,he definitely deserves a chance to go to Russia if fit of cause!He even has a valid reason for not being available during the qualifiers as he is injured most of the time!

4 goals so far this season. He wasn’t even that prolific at inter Milan. If his fit, dude must be considered
1, his an experienced player
2, his an exceptional player for Nigeria standard

He is a solid baller, but is injury prone.

I hope Rohr takes a look at him for that AM position (he is playing further upfield these days.

Another player who is quietly having a solid season in that position is Sylvester Igboun, but he probably is out of Rohr's radar range for the WC.

Ndidi has the "engine". I think Joel has threshold engine

We know mikel won’t do much running and Ndidi will sit in front of the defense. If Obi cannot cover the field we’ll get run over by Croatia easily with Perisic and Mandzukic finding space.

Ayo is so vested in the idea that Echiejile is not good enough that he’ll recommend Femi Okpabumi just to get rid of Elderson :!:

But Echijele is not good enough. I don't know why some of you guys think he will miraculously get better on the eve of the WC. Aina and Idowu should be our LB options on merit. Echejile is a junk player.

TTTK Ecjijile is crap or have you forgotten how he was abused by SouthAfrica in Uyo last year? Throughout the WCQs he was our obvious weak link. The era of taking junk players to major tournaments is over.

There is nothing I hate more than a passenger. I wish Footballers retired when they no longer had anything to offer.

Echiejile IMO is a passenger, just as Yobo was in 2014.
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

He's not ahead of anyone until he can stay healthy for a few months. It would help him physically and psychologically
