...and the pressure mounts on Rohr to invite Nwakali to camp

[Odas]

Rohr under pressure to include Kelechi Nwakali in his World Cup squad after his scintillating display yesterday - See more at: https://goo.gl/su2qQe

What was he thinking of in the first place self? All he had to do was invite the boy and take a look at him. If he was not good enough drop him!

This is a classic case of intellectual laziness and being afraid to step outside your comfort zone. If Nwakali had played against say Serbia and Poland, would Rohr not have found out all he needs to know about the boy?

My brother, do you know Rohr? The article says nothing of where the pressure to include him is coming from, apart from your authored article. He played well last night no doubt, but I think this opportunity came a little early for him. For early parts of both halves, ALM went through us rather easily, which is at odds with the focused TEAM defending and attacking Rohr wants to do.

I think he has nonetheless put himself in prime position to take on the role of Mikel once he retires. He will have to learn to do a lot more with his energy for the team to earn that spot permanently. Trusting Nigeria, another very gifted player might just be a couple of tournaments away from being discovered.

I ask again, what are the MODS going to do about Chief Ayo's LIES or DOCTORED posts?

Honestly the man is inordinately lazy very scarred to leave his comfort zone. The man had a golden opportunity to prosecute this world cup with the best team Nigeria ever had. Just because of his stupid allegiance and depravity he is messing it up. Frankly speaking between him and Keshi I don't which is more of dissolute . They are obdurate, disdainful arrogant and stupidly lazy.

Bully12: Take it a easy, Sir!

Rohr has had the friendlies to try them out. For instance, if Nwakali had been tried out against Argentina, Poland, Serbia and now DR Congo and England and excelled, would you drop him? My beef with Rohr was he was too scared to leave his comfort zone.

What makes your argument untenable is that Rohr was inviting players not featuring for their clubs at all. From September to January, Ahmed Musa did not play one minute of league football for Leicester, yet he was always being invited to camp.

The national team is not a vehicle for trying out players, esp with a WC approaching. That's cluelessness and crookedness of the worst order.

Musa is a poor example to use. He has played at the highest level - WC, ANC, CL, etc. He is tried and tested.

Only in Nigeria will a phantom player like Uche Agbo make the 30 man list while a complete baller like Kelechi Nwakali is ignored. Rohr is corrupt and his team selection is based on agent deals. No way Moses Simon is good enough to make SE top 30 players. France left Lacazette and martial at home. Rohr is not interested in doing well at Russia, he is going to tell you the SE failed due to lack of quality players, meanwhile onyekuru and K. Nwakali are ignored.

[joao]

Every club coach has his own brief, agenda and players that suit his goals.
That may not necessarily tally with the national team's plans!

Ayo, please substitute 'national team' for the highlighted, and see where the answer to your demand lies.

That eagle on your moniker sure looks stupid! Any resemblance to you?

Agents should better return the money they collected

I am actually surprised that they are not asking for the coach to replace Rohr

They should wait till AFTER the WC before mounting their pressure. I remember when Rabiu was to be the saviour of Nigeria along with Lukman.

Enemies of Naija footie. The lure of filthy lucre!

Thank you Sir

How is that info going to make your life less miserable? You can always kill yourself, you have the power.

No doubt KN is a talent but folks are behaving like life ends after the WC. KN is a rookie, our 23 to Russia will include Mikel, Etebo, Ndidi, Onazi, Joel and Ogu. Which of these do you drop for Kelechi?

Onyekuru, Simmy, Kelechi, Awoniyi, Bazee, Aina etc will form the nucleus of the team after the WC. We are going to have to build on the exploits of Russia, their time will come.

Joel obi is a risk, i would replace Kelechi with joel

Exactly my point.... he is not the best in his position in the SE. if he was a keeper and was great yesterday then I have joined the bandwagon.

I will drop Etebo and Ogu... The boy can ball and he should be given a real chance to compete for a shirt.

You would drop Etebo? Recency effect is crazy, same Etebo that was just balling against top teams in La Liga, taking it to Barcelona, you would drop him b/c of one good friendly game from a Div 2 player? Seriously?

recency bias.

[oscar52]

The world cup starts in three weeks. New players this late might disrupt team chemistry, Rohr still has to cut seven players so I will say they should all be invited post worldcup.

[akamoke]

No need to rock the boat, the world cup provisional 30 looks just fine

The team is greater than individual players

That said, Kelechi has earned a call up.........AFTER the MUNDIAL

Okuns, KN is high on talent but low on experience. On a grand stage like the world cup, seasoned campaigners will have a field day with him. Etebo is balling in La Liga and holding his own, KN is still trying to gain consistency and lock down a first team shirt in a second rate club. No doubt the boy is good but it takes more than talent to roll with the big boys.

[john12]

You really have to be mad to Drop etebo even for NDIDI let alone a rookie like Nwakali. Etebo is one of super eagles most energetic, and hardworking player

Dude, you are rude and need some home training.
