Peseiro Invites Squad for Upcoming AFCONQ.....

[Gotti]

100% fake news

[Gotti]

Alhassan blew his chances by not showing up for the friendlies in America. I don't know what his reasons are but I am disappointed because many called for his inclusion and when the opportunity finally comes, he's nowhere to be found!

Visa...
The NFF should've handled this.

[Gotti]

SOLID squad...

Only glaring omission is TAIWO AWONIYI...
Who led all Nigerian goal scorers in the Top 5 leagues.

[Gotti]

Wow 10 defenders….. I suppose given our current form and several injured midfielders…. Nigeria is a complete joke!!!

Why do we persist with this view? These players are not robots, several play multiple positions and have demonstrated this several times. On that list we have seen Bassey, Shehu, and Faisal play in midfield. Not so?

They are primarily defenders and are not better or even as good playing in midfield than some midfielders that have been left out. Let’s not call bad good. SE coaches have been the same thing over and over again. You have 4 defensive positions but you go and call 10 defenders, more than 2 for each positions. But they call 5 central midfielders for 3 central midfield positions. It’s called madness.

Sani Faisal is NOT a defender, but rather a midfielder/winger...

Same shyt different toilet.

He had visa issues, not his fault

[Damunk]

Is Ndidi still injured?
Nacho nko?

[danfo driver]

The good thing about this list is that it now proves that oliseh is the last coach in Nigeria to have picked his own players. Every other coach's team is being picked.

[oyek]

The guys are back at it.

The guys are back at it.

That is some nice movement and passing drill.. With some serious fitness drill/test intertwined.

There have been several reports of him being a defender for Katsina Utd. Primarily LB and LCB.

I don't trust this list. The only news channel that has been able to get the 100 percent correct list is owngoal. All these other ones are just mere predictions.

Prof,

I do not subscribe to this view of yours about calling up adaptable players instead of specialized player.

The squad is very thin in Central midfield. Bonke and Etebo are recovering from knocks. The last game Onyeka played was against Ghana in Abuja. He has been injured since. Aribo has played more than 70 games already this season, a burnout is imminent.

This was a good chance to see who's on the periphery and what they have to offer. It was the same mistake Rohr made and it's the same mistake whoever compiled this list is making. We need more depth and quality in CM positions.

[Bigpokey24]

i see Balo , Sadiq and Vic

[blueangel]

My Question is

Wetin Tyronne Ebuehi do our handlers.

Why Do They Rarely Include Him ????

Shehu has to be on the team.

So Ebuehi loses out.

This is Nigeria.

[vancity eagle]

How many coaches continue to make the depleted midfield mistake.

I dont think we can put this one entirely on Peseiro, but if dude doesn't buck this long trend in his September squad I will be very dissapointed.

No be 11 v 11 games master coaching o!

Oyinbo na oyinbo, even their 11 v 11 training sweet pass...

[vancity eagle]

Bonke is still injured according to reports and likely won't be fit for the first match.

Why on earth did they not just call a replacement?

The guy seems to be made of glass! He got injured in the match against Ghana in Kumasi as well

[Ugbowo]

I am surprised no one has raised an eyebrow about the omission of Kelechi Iheanacho. Is he that dispensable?

Anyway, I am hearing this is a disciplinary issue that will soon become public information. Kelechi allegedly displayed a selfish attitude during the Abuja Ghana game and had no regards for his teammates or coaching crew. Direct insubordination. He is currently being punished.

It's not so much a lack of numbers in MF. EII is right in the sense that our wide players also double as wide midfielders.

The problem for me is the lack of diversity and balance. Bonke, Etebo, Onyeka, Ajayi, etc are all cut from the same defensive cloth.

From the friendlies, it seems like we're moving to a 4-3-3. We need a proper #8 who is a box 2 box player and who has the skills to deliver cutting edge passes.

Seems though that we'll go through a process of elimination with Peseiro. He seems to be quick to react in games...
