Musa, Shehu is what is really turning ppl off. Musa has been playing for his club. Not sure about Shehu.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 4:58 pm Well apparently 5 players will be dropped according to Score Nigeria.
The squad itself isn't bad, but it's just all the same recurring themes that show we haven't learned a damn thing.
Last I checked, Musa was still captain. It makes no sense for an interim coach to take a drastic decision. That's for a new coach to decide.
As for the homebased....you had to be deaf and blind to not know this was imminent. Look at all the utterings since the Ghana mishap.

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
Unless Uzoho is injured or asked to be excused for personal reasons I think this is absolutely the wrong time to drop him.
And I would have thought Ndah would have made the list.

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
Ugbowo,
My hunch is that Salisu is using this to build up the homebased team that he is in charge for the Africa-based AFCON that will be coming up soon. This is a different tint to what Keshi used in the past to build a strong home-based squad. This is simply based on my analysis of this list. He possibly knows that the NFF is not going to fund a long period of camping for the homebased lads (as was the case with Keshi). Thus, since Salisu will be the coach of that homebased squad why not use this opportunity as Interim Manager of the SE to begin to build up the HB team that he will be managing. After all, why invite 25 FB guys and leave some of them without a minute on the field? That is just my conjecture at the moment.

when Azubuike was decent we didn't call him, now that he's quiet we remember him, hope he still has it

dunno, been a while we touted him on this pages and haven't heard any rave reports about him in a while, he's fighting for relegation on loan in turkey, chai.
most of our players just seem to be in relegation battle sha

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
Not sure yet what to make of this squad. Happy to see Alhassan Yusuf and Dessers. Would be curious to know the rationale behind inviting so many HB players. I hope the NFF has some kind of well thought out plan and is not just senselessly trying to reduce the number of foreign born players invited. I am happy to see new HB goalies. Where is Uzoho tho?
Can't believe Shehu is still being called ahead of Ebuehi. Shehu has had probably one good outing the last 7 or 8 times he's played for the SE. Osayi-Samuel is also another better option at RB.
Musa really needs to retire. Don't think Azubuike and Tijani are also not our best options in midfield at the moment. I would have gone for Nwobodo, Dele-Bashiru, Onyedika, or Ejaria.

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
It depends on what your definition of quiet is, if it's by media reports I get it but amongst this set of midfielders its only Aribo & Alhassan that have seen more action than him this season

It could be but we can't be sure. I just know from the utterances in the press that this was imminent. There was an obvious clamor for the inclusion of the homebased players and the home based coach is in charge. I guess 1+1=2?
I forgot about Ndah. Considering he went to Mexico and then AFCON, this would have continued his growth probably. But maybe we ae not thinking about that.
Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
Sunset,
I heard he has shut it down for the season and hasn't played the last 3 games. There's talk out there that he was "saving" himself for next season and might not actually be injured. Not sure how true it is but I did read a text exchange supposedly from him confirming that.
Also, I think it was you who brought Rafiu Ishaq to our attention earlier this season. Maybe someone else was watching. Let's see what the lad has to offer.
Do you have an opinion on the homebased midfielders listed?

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
That’s why it should be even easier to drop the likes of Musa and Shehu for these games…what more do we need to know about them?Bigpokey24 wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 5:21 pmwhy bother. A friendly is used to test players.. these jokers are crying

Yeah he joined to help rescue his former club from relegation but all he could was slow down the inevitable.Ugbowo wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 5:58 pmSunset,

Rafiu is the current topgoalscorer in the league so there's no way they could ignore him.
The midfield is a bit interesting, Chiamaka Madu has been pretty decent this season with Rivers but its surprising he was picked over the likes of Chijoke Akuneto, Morice Chukwu (but I have a good idea why) and even Joseph Onoja, but at the same time the timing couldn't be any worse losing their top players for at least 3 crucial Matchdays in the NPFL.
Babatunde Nosiru is a bit confusing as it seems like they got Afeez Nosiru (Kwara UTD) and Babatunde Bello (Akwa UTD) mixed up but whoever it is, we're getting a DM that's very dangerous in dead-ball situations.

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
It's clear Nwobodo who just signed a new contract had no need to be called.
In fact even many of the foreign based called up like Azuibikwe are in need of a transfer.
This squad is all about transfer market, just like the outfit called to play Mexico last time.
It's Hammer Time !!!

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
What hype train? Onyedika plays week in week out for the Danish champions. He absolutely deserves a callup.Ugbowo wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 4:45 pm If we have been listening to the trappings coming out of the press the only thing that surprised me is that they invited Lookman and Bassey back LOL.
These have their idea on how they think the team should look. It's playing out right in front of our eyes right now.
I don't know that there's any player on here that is a "wow, I cant believe he wasn't invited" type of player. I will say it should have been common sense to invite Obinna Nwobodo. I think he will be added eventually. Also, the Spurs goalie who came with the homebased lads to the LA debacle, should have been brought in to garner more experience as well.
I also thought the Onyedika hype train meant an invite was imminent. I guess not. Good to see Dessers and Yusuf tho.
FWIW, a few players asked to be excused from these games. I am sure you can guess who they are.

Re: Invited SE Players for US friendlies
The Samson Tijani call is a bit worrying though, he's just finally finding his feet in the Austrian 2nd division for Salzburg's reserves where he's been about okay, there are certainly guys playing at a higher level who would've been a better pick.
Aribo is in need of a rest, it's close to 70 games he has played this season alone.

Salisu knows he's on the way out and he's going out with bang on the transfer market. Look. they caught him on camera collecting bribe for just a minute or so, he's about to release a movie.
