In my view, Peserio did not himself pick the squad for the two international friendlies but may have been made aware of the squad and why the players were selected. He was likely involved in poruning that liost for the two competitive games having watched the players in close quatrters. NOw, he is more likely to be intricately involved in selecting the next squad call up. Given what you have see thus far (yunder Peseirto), who do you think is a sure bet tyo remain on the squad? Who is hanging by the thread? anmd who is headed out? Here is my view:

DEFINITELY IN
Alex Iwobi
Oghenekaro Etebo
Victor Osimhen
Joseph Aribo
Bassey
Lookman
Francius Uzoho
Moses Simon
Semi Ajayi
Emmanuel Dennis
William Ekong
Zaidu Sanusi
Wilfred Ndidi ???
Ahmed Musa


STARTER STATUS IN JEOPARDY
Aina (as per starter status)
Samuel Chukwueze (as per starter status)
Sadiq Umar (???)

HANGING BY A THREAD
Maduka Okoye
Abdullahi Shehu
Leon Balogun
Chiedozie Awaziem
Kenneth Omeruo

HEADED OUT
John Noble
Daniel Akpeyi]
Kelechi Nwakali
Jude Ighalo

**Will modify list as the discussion goes on.**

NOTE: This weekend, Peseiro is scheduled to be at one of the NPFL venues to watch a crucial league game.

Cheers.

I believe Iheanacho will get his chance but I certainly think he will play a different position than he did under Rohr. Iwobi has taken that hole behind the double strikers. Iheanacho will have to challenge Moffi/Sadiq/Dessers for who will partner Osimhen.

Onku, Awoniyi’s team did well last season and qualified for Europa with him scoring 15 goals making him the 6th highest scorer in Bundesliga. Moffi is no way near that level, a couple games under clueless Eguaveon will not change that.

I forgot to comment also on Nwakali as I had intended. He simply has way too much visible talent to be permanently discarded. I believe that once his club career stabilizes, he’ll be back. In my opinion, he’s better than any central midfielder on the roster and second only to Ndidi as a defensive midfielder


Cheers.

The truth is that it is too early to tell. Yes, he is now doing the right things but how long will that last?

I hope the NFF provides him accommodation in the country and we do not go back to the days of paying for a manager to arrive here on a week vacation a few times in a year. There is a lot of work to be done outside of training camp. These days that work can be done anywhere and why not Nigeria?

TTTK,

Is there no ti8me that we can state that this Nwakali hope and DREAM is FINALLY OVER? Just asking. Or should we continue this dream when the player is over 30 and retired?

I get the love for Nwakali which is mainly anchored on hope rather than substance.
The reality is that his career is floundering.
It is not the SE we should be looking at to revive it.

His ANC cameo will probably be the highlight of his career…sad

To be a successful footballer, consistency is key. Unfortunately, Nwakali has not delivered in his short career both for club and country. He has been loaned out by all his clubs and that says a lot. Having one or two good games here and there is not enough. And if you watch a few of his games, it’s easy to see why he is struggling.

He is 24 already. Let’s pray he finds a club that would fine tune his strengths and work on his weakness. Wikipedia is saying his current club is FC Pakhtakor Tashkent in the Uzbekistan Super League. Don’t know how far that is true.

EII,

If you’re going to come to that conclusion, should it be when he’s at the ripe old age of 24? His soccer career is still in its infancy and given his immense talent, there’s still an awful lot to hope for and dream about in spite of his club tribulations which have nothing whatsoever to do with his on-field performancee

The application process for British Citizenship does not prevent an applicant from travelling. And any in-person interviews can be scheduled at a convenient date for the applicant. The application that restricts your ability to travel is the permanent residency application. Even then, you can pay a premium to get a decision in days.

LOL. I wanted to respond earlier but completely forgot.

Kelechi was in Nigeria the entire time the SE had games. Kelechi's omission is apparently a disciplinary issue from the Abuja Ghana game.

Yup! Nwakali is probably the most important Player for the future of the team. His lack of stability and consistent play at club level has denied SE a chance to have a truly complete team that’s creative and solid in MF. We all saw what he brings to the table at Afcon. There’re rumors that Swiss club Lussane are interested in signing him this summer, I’ll take it. I’ll even take a Nwakali playing regularly in Turkey, even Egypt and South Africa I go take.


I’d love to see this lineup. One of the most creative and balanced team possible.

352


Awazien. Ndidi. Bassey

Aina. Nwakali. Aribo. Simon

Iwobi

Nacho/Awoniyi Osihmen
