Joel Obi updates!

Re: Joel Obi updates!
After JJ okocha, Joel Obi is the most skillful Nigeria midfielder that’s still playing. If he is fit, I would gladly support the coach calling him up to access if his good enough for the World Cup. Also, barring his injury antecedents it’s kind of risky taking him to the World Cup because he can just drop injured after one game. Anyway, whatever rohr does in reference to Obi i am in support

Re: Joel Obi updates!
Decent showing from Joel this afternoon. Withdrawn after 77 minutes after his team went a goal down.

Re: Joel Obi updates!
This is only player that didnt participate in the World Cup qualifiers that I would support his call up due to the following: he is an exceptional player, has international experience, plays in Italy, would add value to the Eagles. It should be noted that he has a poor injury record and therefore would have to be managed carefully if called up.
Re: Joel Obi updates!
I watched today's game and i think Obi is good but nothing has convinced me we should take him to the world cup.
He covers ground and is good in the transition from defense to attack. I don't think he tackles as well as Onazi. He seems to chase after the ball while doing very little in the sense of tackling. His decision making in the attacking phase is also not as good as Etebo's. He is good but we don't have a midfield weakness and he is injury-prone. Still a no from me.

Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Do you think Belgium are making the same deductions regarding Vincent Kompany or is he a shoo-in if he remains fit?john12 wrote:After JJ okocha, Joel Obi is the most skillful Nigeria midfielder that’s still playing.

Re: Joel Obi updates!
I know right, no one is saying he must start but he could give us depth and his club performances have earned him the right to at least be called up for assessment.9jaMan wrote:You dey mind the mugutxj wrote:niyi wrote:I watched today's game and i think Obi is good but nothing has convinced me we should take him to the world cup.

Re: Joel Obi updates!
Thank you sir. The Obi of today is not the same one of 5 years ago. He just doesn't do enough for me and his best position is still a mystery. I will stick to Mikel, Ndidi, Onazi, Ogu and Etebo. Shehu too can play in midfield.niyi wrote:I watched today's game and i think Obi is good but nothing has convinced me we should take him to the world cup.

Re: Joel Obi updates!
Lilly, remember that he plays in the toughest league compared to all those midfielders you mentioned except ndidi and has scored 5 goals this season. I would take obi over Mikel Agu but whatever the coach decides I’m supporting. No one is bigger than the country
