At least, Eguavoen did not take an injured player to AFCON, That was my fear.

Awazien nko? Shehu nko? Shehu got dropped but still got a call while injured?

One long range pass is all it takes for a performance to be described as spectacular? What a low bar?

He actually did! He creatively set up Onyekuru on a one on one with a long range pass

Well, if he can give a killer pass that could have resulted in a goal and bail our senior captain out and prevent a goal all in the 10 mins he was on the pitch, then yes! He has potential and has earned more playing time.

You don't really need to watch a guy play a billion minutes to know what kind of player he is.

Let me just say, that I was more impressed with him than Ebuehi wey everybody dey shrine.

Ebuehi wasn’t at his best, no doubt. But Ebuehi still offered more threat going forward though he was on the pitch for much longer. And this is where I suspect he is better than Ndah. But Ndah might end up being a better defender for the SE. I have never fully trusted Ebuehi’s defensive side, same with Sanusi.

Ndah's favored position is nit right back. He is a center back. His competition is more Ekong and Awaziem. it looks like we now have the unusual luxury of many good center backs to choose from (Ekong, Omeruo, Awaziem, Ajayi, Ndah and Balogun). We have similar luxuries at right back and left back. Competition can only be good for the team.

‘Good’ is relative.
Or maybe we should just agree that we need ‘better’.
I guess when we find such a defender, the difference will be clear.
A bit like how many see Osimhen vs ‘the rest’ in the central striking role.

It is however a positive development. Prior to Eguavon, the only options seemed to be Ekong and Balogun and both seemed to play at low gear; as if their places were guaranteed. Now even Ekong is under pressure to perform. CB was previously the major weakness in the team.

Tbh, I think it still is.
It is why I am quite keen on Ndah and am closely watching the unused Bassey (Rangers) kid invited by Rohr.
I am also still hoping Adarabioyo's head will come correct and he will decide to reach out to Nigeria.
Our defence is ageing and Ajayi/Omeruo are not a step up.
At best, they are same level which we can and should seek to improve upon if we are going to compete properly in Qatar should we get there.

Adarabioyo needs to be sat down and sense spoken into his head. He should not become one of those "innit" guys. If we can get Adarabioyo and one of Eze or Olise, we are set.

I watched most of the game, dude is a very good player.

He's very good with the ball, passes well and strong in the tackle, he made a goalie clearance to save his team.

Only possible weakness I noticed is that he may not be as good when isolated 1v1, he found himself facing an attacker on the right corner and he almost got skinned. A more skilled attacker would've left him in the dust as he overcomitted to the right but attacker went left. It happens to the best of em. Similar in style to Awaziem .

He needs to get out of SA this summer if he can.

The thing is this assumption that someone who isn't in the Big 5 or in Europe is not good enough. There is this incomprehensible faith that football leagues and clubs are infallible in their scouting and selection process. This far from reality. First football scouting is barely scratching the surface in terms of precision and this is further complexities by uncertainties of transfer decision making by Nigerian players.

Ndah is an Eagle's material. I watched him play and I love his dispositions, sense of ball control and self composure. He is good no doubt about it.

We may probably need him against Ghana as Ekong, Awaziem and Aina have not seen action since joining their clubs after AFCON.
Ekong's case is worse, he has not been in the Watford squad for the last 2 matches and with Nkolou getting close to fitness, it's looking bleak for him.

Thank God for Eguavoen... Rohr would never had invited or given him a looking. Rohr would be in Europe begging players.

Abi o, I don't know what the problems of the usual suspects are? We have seen similar patterns when junks were brought in from nowhere to the 2014 WC squad, so any genuine fan will voice their concerns so it does not happen again.
I am GLAD to be proved wrong about Ndah and i don't owe anyone any apologies for my previous comments!!

Egbon, I am GLAD, you were proved wrong about Ndah
