The Enyimba goal keeper is in top form and his Caf Champs league performances have been nothing short of outstanding... Yet Rohr keeps calling up freaking Akpeyi.

i tire oo

Why has he not called up Eberechi Eze ?

There is absolutely no excuse for this. Other than that, the list is spot on. I guess Lookman switch was not able to be done in time, either that or he is playing games.

I just noticed Mikel is not in your list.

Is that a mistake or is he really not called. Owngoal confirmed that Mikel is definately returning for the matches.

Van city just STFU sheesh you guys are mad and whatever or whoever player rohr calls up, he will be criticized. You guys have to respect for National team coaches and just believe that any players is entitled to be called up at SE irrespective of their clubsides. Enough is enough please respect your coach

C'mon man. Eze is still in the process of proving himself.
He probably doesn't even have a Naija passport yet.

You're behaving like a kid in a sweet shop. You want everything, now.

Some progress with Issac Success.

Coaches don't like changing keepers like rapper cloth.

Besides, what's Akpeyi's form? Has he even been able to catch a cold in South Africa?

Odious should not be in the team.

Ighalo has to be the luckiest dude on planet earth right now...

I thought the Enyimba keeper was Ghanaian? No?

The squad is not balanced. There is no creative midfielder Nididi , Ogu, Etebo, and Onazi are all defensive minded players. Nigeria struggles to score goals without the creativity in the middle of the park.

Yep, seems we will be relying on wing play from Sam Kalu, Simon Moses, Success, and Onyekuru etc...

Ezenwa is Enyimba's reserve goal keeper. What does the no 1 need to do to get considered?

We are the home team , how would you like the team to line up bearing mind the midfield of Onazi, Etebo and Nidid lost at home to a very poor South African team ?

I suspet that task will fall to Alex Iwobi. He is in good form.
