Like I said,….this is Salisu influencing Egu…..Egu has no backbone…am sorry to say.

“ Enyimba’s John Noble is the only Nigeria-based player, a goalkeeper, in the 28-man list. It is pertinent to note that Noble is not Enyimba’s first choice, just like Ikechukwu Ezenwa made it into Rohr’s squads despite not being the No.1 at his club.”

Kelechi-I like that boy- Nwakali is back!!!

“Eguavoen has tried to solve the playmaking challenge in midfield with the inclusion of Kelechi Nwakali. Unfortunately, the Huesca midfielder has only created one scoring chance all season in the Segunda-with no assist and goal in 18 league appearances”

With the Ndah led defence…..god help us all

“ Apart from Chidozie Awaziem, who has the legs for a race and the quickest recovery, Leon Balogun, Troost-Ekong, and Kenneth Omeruo are lacking in pace, which will mean the Eagles cannot play a high line. We have seen William Troost-Ekong backtrack into trouble in recent matches.”

Omeruo is struggling in segunda
Ekong is low in confidence
Balogun not played in months….

I am definitely shaking…..

Egu starts Ighalo….!!!!! I am starting a riot

Why not just support Eguavoen? Abeg, Nigeria has too many issues.. Eguavoen is not one of them. We got Afcon in days

Egu knowingly takes any injured player to AFCON and I will call down fire. We can't have another Rueben Gabriel.

I take solace in the fact that 99% of Nigerians don't know what they're talking about when it comes to football and I'm one of them.

These people are truly insufferable bro, for goodness sake why not wait till 2 weeks time to see how the man will bed in his coaching philosophy, tactics and style on the field (where it matters most)? All these noise over what? one or two players? the good thing is that the agenda exposed itself early enough, I would have been worried if they waited for Eguavoen to fail first before patting themselves on their backs... Nigerian football fans are really a weird and interesting bunch.

I think that’s unfair of Enyi. He makes valuable criticisms of our defensive choices.
There’s also the lack of cover for Ndidi, and the incredibly long list of out and out strikers.
Ignoring those does is not how I’d define support.

Egu is back with his cash-for-shirt policy. We never see anything. Like someone said let us support him.

I criticised Rohr and called for his head and although I wish Egu the best but this is not a good start.

If you ask ANYONE SE’s weakest link…they will say defence….it will then make sense that you will try and fortify it with choices….

Ndah (fitness/injury) is not a choice, Shehu(not good enough) is not a choice, Omeruo is not a choice really, Balogun(fitness/injury) is not a choice..Ekong is a disaster…..

So our defence is Awaziem and his shadow really….

Midfield is short but ok…

The forward line…Musa, Ighalo…are pure space wasters….

Nwakali baffles me…. Listen, I recommended him and Samu to Arsenal so I saw talent just like I fell in love with Nigerian football with the likes of Aneke and Iwobi….

But Nwakali HAS NOT JUSTIFIED THAT SPACE HE OCCUPIES…

No need coming out to criticise Egu when he fails….if u see a wrong say it now or forever hold your peace.

Our defense is just Awaziem, I mean really? Stop being so dramatic…wait and see how we line up how we play TEAM defense, it’s not just about individuals.

I’m not the coach, but Awaziem is fit, Omeruo is fit, Troost might have Covid scare but will be fit, Balogun is back fit, so what’s with the fear mongering? If some of those players somehow can’t go we can bring in Akpoguma, Ajayi, or Bassey, so calmate…

sorry bro but you cannot replace anyone because of injury or COVID.

BTW....Balogun is not match fit....anyways, I will pull up this after the second round.... (hope i dont)

Criticism is fine. You have been critical of the team as I have. But smearing the names of coaches because they are black Nigerians will no longer go unchallenged.

Where did smearing come into it in either Highbury or my post?
Some of you have fights you want to fight and you bring it into any debate you see:
Highbury: Support Eguavon
Me: Does that mean we can’t criticise?
You: Smearing the name of black coaches will not go unchallenged

Do you see the logic leap?

The whole point of calling up 28 instead of 23/25 is to cover for Covid…..

In the history of football, you cannot call up and injured player and change him….you can change a player that gets injured after he is called up.

I am tired of teaching you the laws of the game bro

Maybe you should read again. I was supporting Enyi's (and your) right to criticise. I share many of both your concerns.

I was referring to those (not you and Enyi) making baseless corruption allegations. Hopefully it is clear now.
