SE players missing in action.

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

We have a problem folks. A big one!

A lot of our players have not being playing regularly since AFCON and time is running out. We face Ghana in 3 weeks. This is not good.

[Dammy]

It's worrying, especially key defenders like Aina, Ekong and Awaziem. They have been frozen out since returning from AFCON.

[Lolly]

It is now looking like we have a big problem.

Aina, Ekong and Iheanacho are the big worries. To a lesser extent, Uzoho.

[King Futcha]

this guy has to be the most entertaining monotone person of all time, great channel.

You just like him because of his .... *cough* .... American accent. Probably reminds you of some fellas you grew up with back in the day .... back when you had jerry-curls and break-danced to music on your Walkman.

PS: Or were the 1980s movies on VHS lying to me?

The gift and the curse of sacrificing for your nation. Guys like Ekong and Aina etc all risk their club spots to represent the country, they get back to their club and their club now rejects them, then the national team now says well they are not playing for their clubs so we too will shun them…I swear going to AFCON is a lose lose situation for a lot of our boys, we gotta give it up for those who make that sacrifice.

We actually took an injured Awaziem to the AFCON, I don't think he's back to full fitness

when I told you all that playing afcon in the middle of the European season was STUPID, you all attacked me and claimed we should "stand our ground" and that I was "pandering" to them.

Its always going to be a lose lose situation, and I am glad the next afcon will be played in the summer, LIKE ALL OTHER CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.

[Tobi17]

The major silver lining here is that we have unearthed Calvin Bassey who looks the part and could well be a gem in that team... needless to mention that Zaidu has been posting consistently top level performances at Porto..

I see you still have some comedic bones left in that old body

You truly believe Ekong is being frozen out or “rejected” because he left for AFCON? Do you follow events at these clubs or you are just making things up?

Watford went of a buying spree during the January transfer window and brought the Brazilian Samir who is doing a great job. Ekong now has a job on his hands breaking into the team. That’s the simple truth.

[Silver-Shadow]

Could be a blessing in disguise, hopefully they'll avoid injury and Naija will have the full complement of players to choose from.

When Ekong lost his place earlier was it due to AFCON? Was Iheanacho regular before AFCON? Logic has never been your strong point.

The Ghana game is in about 3 weeks, the aquad list will likely be out 2 weeks prior. This means unless they play this weekend the coaches will have to roll with them or bring in new set of players who are more active.

I didn’t attack you, I share the same sentiment but it’s an unpopular one so I kept it to myself.

Ekong was a regular, they bought Samir because he was going to AFCON. Aina too was a regular, no one should be mentioning Iheanacho as he’s been playing since he returned, but specifically Ekong and Aina sacrificed their starting positions for the SE and if anything we need to give them support rather than exclude/shun them.

Amen to that. Besides, we don't even have better options.
