A rumor has it perhaps Iwobi may not honor the invitation. Our boys are slowly pulling out of the matches..

He would not get along in a stronger league.
Furthermore he is known as a diver in the Austrian League.
He is not rated highly at all.
Let's see what he brings to the table but I must say I'm quite disappointed in Rohr's recent selections.

Tammy Abraham, Samuel Kalu and Henry Onyekuru or even Aaron Samuel are all much more talented and deserve a call up much more.
I watch Kayode quite often. Yes he is really fast and yes he dives a lot but even though I personally do not rate him, he is highly rated in Austria. He has had a few pre-match 'specials' done on him this season. Usually before his games. He is also a fans favorite.

Tammy Abraham is unrealistic at this point and even if he was available, he is injured at the moment. Kalu and Onyekuru are wingers and one gets a feeling that Kayode was picked as Osimhen's replacement because he is an out and out striker like Osimhen. Not that many out and out strikers in the squad.

There is certainly logic to Rohr's madness

Rohr is concentrating on the areas of the team where we have deficiencies... He is pretty aware of the surplus we have in other the areas of the team.

So are you implying if we have Neymar in our team we should pick him because he plays as a winger. A better striker is always a better striker no matter where he plays whether central or sideways. You win matches by outscoring your opponents.

So if you were the coach and you were looking for a number 9, you would pick Kalu or Onyekuru?

By the way, what is the low down on Brian Idowu? Rohr was desperately trying to cap the guy....

I will pick whomever that will score more goals for me to win the match. If it is either Onyekuru or Kalu I will pick him.

Sure!
And that's why he has always been played on the wings by his club managers, eh?
But of course, what do they know.

Tammy Abraham should have been invited. He is not injured and scored yesterday.

He has now scored 19 in the league and 22 in total.

Otitokoro,

However, you must acknowledge that he did well playing centrally for Nigeria at U17 and can play there no matter where his club is currently playing him.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Has he declared his interest to play for Nigeria...
