Ndidi out, but Osimhen leads Nigeria list for CAR as Rohr also hands debut call up to Rangers star

[maceo4]

You do realize Bassey is a center back; right?

He's a LB/LWB, who can fill in at CB...

He's played at LCB for Rangers. Quite raw, but also quite promising...

An interesting one for me, b/c of lack of competition and need for upgrade in CD

He played one game there, and according to folks wasn’t that impressive there, so how exactly would you consider him an upgrade in CD? You made it seem like you actually know the player when clearly you don’t…being a smart arse for no reason

That was probably the most high level game as a CD, but he's capable of playing across the defensive line.

I was speaking generally about the need for an upgrade/competition in the CD position

I hear you sha, we definitely need competition at CD, if he could give us that then his presence is much welcomed.

Moffi is deserving of the callup, but wish he called up an AM or CM.

Exactly! Moffi is a good player but how many forwards are going to play?
Meanwhile, midfield is depleted, and this would've been an opportunity to try someone like Nwobodo.

[vancity eagle]

It is clear that Rohr is abandoning the 433 and that is why he is ignoring the midfield even more than he usually does.

The right thing to do would be to build a team with the flexibility to play either 442 or 433, depending on opponents and the flow of the game.

To do this we would st the very least need an AM backup to Iwobi.

With all these injuries and our clown coach still cannot see it necessary to call up Ejaria or Nwobodo, or Nwakali.

If Aribo or Onyeka get injured, watch him call up another defender.

I tire for this man.

[bret- hart]

Why didnt **** call up Nwakali/ Ejaria and/or even Amoo to replace Ndidi and Iwobi? Why do i even bother with this useless coach

[kawawa]

Why didnt **** call up Nwakali/ Ejaria and/or even Amoo to replace Ndidi and Iwobi? Why do i even bother with this useless coach

What has Nwakili really done to deserve a call up. When did he last have an assist or score a goalie despite playing in the Spanish second division. People keep watching U17 highlights from half a decade ago. Be objective. What has he done? When did you last see him play. The 45 minutes he got today?Has Ejaria made the switch?

Please tell me what Bonke has done ?

Please tell me what Abraham Marcus has done ?

Please tell me what Shehu Abdullahi has done ?

According to Owngoal Ejaria has been approved by FIFA. I'm not sure if this is true, but if it is, Rohr is a fool.

We have 3 regular midfielders injured (Iwobi, Etebo, Ndidi), plus another 2 midfield prospects injured (Alhassan, Michael), and Rohr still cannot find a spot for Nwobodo, who is the top tackler in Turkey, and had superior numbers than Etebo last year in the same league while playing for a worse team.

Something is very wrong with Rohr and his scouting team. I mean very wrong, and I'm getting sick of people making these stupid excuses for him.

What has the likes of Musa done to merit an invite??? Also you talk as if we have a pletora of Midfielders balling at top leagues. We dont so the sooner we give the likes of Nwakali a chance the better.

I agree with you that on solely footballing reasons Musa does not deserve an invite.
But that does not in any way support your suggestion that Nwakali deserves one.
I don’t see the connection.

Both are undeserving.
The only argument - or should I say ‘excuse’ - for inviting Nwakali would be his relative youth. Nothing else.
The only ‘excuse’ for inviting Musa is the opposite - his ‘experience’, nothing else.

Both excuses are as bad as each other and untenable in my opinion.

You keep quoting these Odiye people who themselves are not sticking by their unsubstantiated long-forgotten story.
Why not go by the most likely scenario: Ejaria hasn’t switched?

Stop giving yourself hypertension my friend.

So you guys, why is he now a ‘clown’ coach?
Because he ‘only’ won bronze at the last AFCON and has totally failed to win anything since?
Or that he threw away a 4-0 lead against a ‘minnow’?
Or that, OMG, he is really really struggling to qualify for the next AFCON and the 2022 World Cup?
Or because he has failed to invite your own choices of non-performing midfielders?
What a clown indeed!


See how you people just can’t be objective? Damned from all sides, whether e do or e no do.

So what and who occupy the very wiiiiide spectrum inbetween our GOAT genius of a coach who at one extreme won the AFCON gold and at the other extreme, the ‘certified clown’ who could only win bronze?

No wonder una type been sack Amodu, another ‘clown’ by una definition.

[Robotnik]

Rohr will not invite an untested player to a world cup qualifier. The midfield combo will be

.........................Iheanacho.....................
...............Onyeka................Aribo..........

Ask the person who calls the coach a CLOWN yet want him on the job!

That's all you need to know people who do not want the BEST for the SE

I was asking you both, but my bad.
I thought you were both in rare agreement on the ‘clown’ matter.

[vancity eagle]

.........................Iheanacho.....................
...............Onyeka................Aribo..........

But he already did invite 2 untested players and started them, and GOT A WIN ON THE ROAD.

So this "untested" talk is just nonsense.

If you are good, you are good, if you are better than another player, you are better than that player "untested" or not.

[vancity eagle]

And wtf did the "tested" Musa do for SE in his last dozen matches ?

Abeg shut up with this "tested" "untested" garbage.

How about just choose the best players.

What's going on with Ndidi? I'm quite sure he'll play Leicsters next league game. The club has announced no injury update. Ndidi has missed some competetive matches for Nigeria here and then. I hope he is not frustrated by the NFFs lacking professionalism. There seems to be something going on behind the scenes.

How did Ndidi do in the game today?

Went missing for most of the game, was at fault for the 3rd goal too…
