Friendly games are meaningless just way to test players chemistry, cohesion etc no sane person will try to terminate a coach based on friendlies

What da heck is Rohr thinking ? I thought he said our "best players" would be called.
Surely there must be at least 4 or 5 options better than him.
Also I dont agree with dropping Onyekyru for Olayinka.
Shehu really also needs to be finished with SE.
It’s diarrhea of the mouth time in CE again.
With Ebuehi still out injured, kindly inform us of a better NIGERIAN RB that should have been called ahead of Shehu or a more deserving DM than Esiti. Also, since you have to agree and approve everything Rohr does, why not tell us why he should call Onyekuru even though his work permit isn’t done yet and might end up with issues getting back to France.
As a world cup winning cyber cafe technical adviser your answers will be most cherished.

Re: Team list for Brazil friendly - Azeez, Olayinka called
i like the midfield
DM - Nididi and Esiti
CM - Etebo/ Aribo
AM - Iwobi/ Azeez
Azeez can also play as DM and CM.
Aribo can also play DM and AM
Etebo can also play DM and AM.
For Esiti to get invited again, then he's left a good impression on Rohr. Esiti has played for the top belgian club (gent) for atleast 4seasons and he was a confirmed starter. played in Europa and Champions league. MOved to Greek champions, played in the champions league and a confirmed starter for Paok.
I think he is a better invite than Azu (for now).

Re: Team list for Brazil friendly - Azeez, Olayinka called
Esiti is pure rubbish. He was responsible for both goals against Ukraine. As soon as he came on we fell apart. This is very poor judgement on Rohrs part. Usually he does not act like this.
Mikel agu or Azuibikwe, hell even Kingsley Michael would have been a better call.

You’re acting like azubuike, age are a bigger upgrade. At the highest, they’re on the same level because all of them perform at Backwater leagues. We should start respecting coaches decisions except there’s a huge omission that everyone can attest. Ex (Dropping A Nigerian Messi)

And even so Azubikwe and Mikel Agu are playing at a higher level.
The fact is that Esiti was given just 20 minutes to play for SE. And in those 20 minutes he proved himself a pure wastepipe and effed up the game for us. We could have won if not for that horrific player.
His cameo certainly does not warrant a subsequent call up.
In fact I dont believe I have seen such a piss poor display since Rohr took over.
Re: Team list for Brazil friendly - Azeez, Olayinka called
Yes, their levels, clubsides etc matters and all of them are on the same level or marginally better which is why coaches decisions should be respected. Coaches will never impress everywith their 23 man squad but their decisions should be respected except there’s a big OMISSION (World class player?

I am tempted to say wrongfully. Some players need a hand on the shoulder and a lot of encouragement. Nacho has had a lot of tough love from all his managers and I get the feeling a father figure, big brother type is what would work for him.
That being said, it's not the national team manager's responsibility to help players and the decision to not invite a struggling player is correct from the standpoint of a coach calling up his best players.

You don't think it makes sense that the decision to recall him is based on more than just 20mins of football v Ukraine?vancity eagle wrote:It's not a matter of which clubs they play.john12 wrote:You’re acting like azubuike, age are a bigger upgrade.

You are no expert on these matters by any stretch and you can go back to numerous threads where people had been calling for Esiti to be called up by Rohr before it eventually happened.
They are no less informed than you are and in fact, some have far more credibility.
So recalling Esiti is what it is.
I am not a fan either but I was taught to recognize that people given a responsibility have the right to do their jobs - and make the occasional mistakes.
If Esiti now has a blinder I'm sure all you'd do is slink away into some quiet corner and we won't hear pimm from you.

Re: Team list for Brazil friendly - Azeez, Olayinka called
Last season, I covered Nigerian players weekly, Esiti was top 3 best performing midfielders in Europe and I kept calling for his inclusion based on pure facts. And he rightfully deserves the callup.Damunk wrote:You don't think it makes sense that the decision to recall him is based on more than just 20mins of football v Ukraine?vancity eagle wrote:It's not a matter of which clubs they play.john12 wrote:You’re acting like azubuike, age are a bigger upgrade.

Good thing again is that, he was in camp the last time, and got called up again.
Now lets compare Azu and Esiti's records in the last 6yrs.
Azubuike
Yeni, D1, Turkey
Yeni, Prem, Turkey
Pyramids, Prem, Egypt
Rizespor, Prem, Turkey
Basaksehir, Prem, Turkey (Never been TUrkish champions or cup winners. Got promoted to Super League last season).
Appeared in 1 CL and currently in the Europa (1st one)
Esiti
Estoril, Prem, Portugal
Gent, Prem, Belgium (Top 4 Belgian team including League Champions, Cup champions and Supercup champions) - 4 season
Paok, Prem, Greece (Greek Champions - Unbeaten last season, Cup winners - did a double last season)
Appeared in 1 Champions league, 5 Europa and currently plying in his 6th Europa.

2. Musa - I agree

4. Mikel Agu? - Abegi.... (You need to watch his performance against Uganda (pre-AFCON), as well as his most recent performance in the Europa League (Royal Standard de Liege vs Vitoria SC Guimaraes) in which he bossed the midfield. He has also been in the Portuguese TOTW this past month. He offers a whole lot more than that sluggish mechanic and will provide competition to Etebo as he sits very well in front of the back 4)
5. Josh Maja - not much to be said... KIV (see comments on Akpom below)
6. Akpom? He can't walk into the team that easily - He doesn't have to. The intent is to continously uplift the profile of the strikeforce. You have hanger's on currently in the team that offer zero value - case in point Onuachu. Akpom and Olayinka can add to the competition.

Besides Shehu trumps both in my books anyways (Shehu trumps who? Seriously? Slow as snails Shehu? You definately cannot be serious. Shehu cannot hold a candle to Aina or Ebuehi! Not even close! Besides, I will pick Awaziem over Shehu everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Pace, intelligence, height, tactical awareness? Check for Awaziem. Uncheck for Shehu. PULEASE!)
2. Esiti - I agree
3. Bonaventure - Another Kalu. So much dribling and running, terrible final ball. Well may be Rohr wants to observe him a little

Kalu's dribbling vs Ukraine left about three defenders for dead and set up Iwobi's assist to Aribo's goal.mapet wrote: 3. Bonaventure - Another Kalu. So much dribling and running, terrible final ball. Well may be Rohr wants to observe him a little
Furthermore, it was his trickery that won us the penalty vs Ukraine for the second goal which I guess counts as an assist.
Sometimes dribblers are a necessary 'evil' to do the unpredictable and thereby create chances.
If you remember, it was Bonaventure's wizardry on the left wing in the U23 game vs Libya that created the chance for Osimhen to set up his own assist.
I personally wouldn't say Kalu's final ball is that bad - certainly nowhere as bad as Musa's - but it can still be better.

Re: Team list for Brazil friendly - Azeez, Olayinka called
