Top picks from Super Eagles B/C are just Kelechi Nwakali(the younger of the two Nwakali) and Usman Mohammed... Honourable mention to Ukwomen Utim(replacement LB)...all others hustle no end product...

Actually, the one who played outstandingly today was Chidi, not Kelechi (in spite of his spectacular goal)

I agree.

But why was Kelechi playing so far back ?

I feel like he could have been much more involved and influential if he were in an advanced role as opposed to what looked like DM.

Chidiebere played from the flanks.. Kelechi played deep and really kept the ball very well. difficult to disposses..

We don't know the manager's instructions.

Sounds like Mikel.

Kelechi Nwakali reminds me of Mikel with more attacking potency. To be quite frank the Nwakali brothers are more than good enough to be in the first team. I just realized that Kelechi didn't lose it after these years. Alot of our u-17 look ordinary when they play for SE years later. Kelechi has progressed. Clearly Rohr is loyal to his players..

Kelechi and Chidi should have been in the provisional squad instead he brings in Uche Agbo and Mikel Agu. Sometimes i wonder about our coaches. They cant scout to save their lives.

Sometimes one can be right even when in a minority of one. It pays to always stick by your convictions!

Have we played a WC game as yet?. How come you are already taking credit for being right! It was just a friendly

Uncle wAyo, after 22 years?

Kelechi should be called up to train with the National team and play in the friendlies. Start the process of integrating him into the National team for Qatar 2022.

LOL was Kelechi played as a "playmaker"? He most certainly was not a No.10 which is what Ayo has been harping for. He is hardly the only person that has called for nwakali to be invited to the SE in this forum.

He looks really good. I hope he gets a chance in pre-season with Arsenal. Maybe the new coach will give him a chance.

Patrick Viera played deep too. But that didn't stop him from being a play maker.

All Rohr has to do is ask one of his players to claim they are injured. That will solve the problem!

Rohr's scouting has been piss poor. AND I MEAN PISS POOR.

and its not like he hasn't had plenty of opportunities which he just threw away in favour of the same old junks who aren't even having good club careers.

Uche Agbo, what a junk, Mikel Agu smdh.

I have been wondering what happened to Usman Mohammed since the Olympics. He was good then and had a good game today.

But we have to be careful not to overhype this game. Athletico Madrid played with basically their 2nd team and didn't really put in their full effort to win the game.

I didn't see Griezman, Koke, Diego Costa, Godin, Gabi and co play today.

They played a 2 man midfield against a solid disciplined unit so he had to stay deep to ensure balance otherwise we'd have been outnumbered
