If Rohr has failed at one thing for this current window, it is at truly trying to access and utilize our midfield depth amongst our top 3 CM/DM's being injured.
Who was it who said that we didn't need more than 3 midfielders because Ajayi can play there ?
We have 6 central defenders in camp for goodness sakes !!! Do we need 6 central defenders, yet we only have 3 proper central midfielders. 2 of them rookies and one a 17 year old.
That is a ridiculous list to prosecute 2 matches no matter how you slice it.
With the absence of Ndidi, Aribo, Etebo there is no reason we should not have seen the following in camp
Alhassan Yusuf
Kelechi Nwakali
Ramon Azeez
Azuibikwe Okechukwu
There is just no reason why Rohr did not have any of these guys to look at.
Azeez even had an assist in the last match, yet Rohr doesn't call him up for some carpenters to take his place.
Just unnaceptable.
Some of you still don't understand football and can't scout properly.
Nwakali, Azubike are not good enough today. Azeez is out of form and at the tail end of his career. Alhassan is still young and maybe should have been invited but Rohr chose to invite Onyeka who unfortunately didn't have a good game. But that is what friendlies are about.
In my opinion and from watching some of our boys play at their clubs (albeit not enough times), the only midfielders that I think could make a difference to the team right over the next 2 years are Lookman and Ejaira. Alhassan needs to move to a bigger club for better assessment. Also, I would be following Mukairu closely. That boy has something.
Are you for real here????? Nwakali would have made a huge difference yesterday if he had played. I can confidently say we would have won that game with him marshaling out midfield!
