That’s what he does. :clap: :clap: :clap:
When has he? Examples will help. I am just pointing out selective non-data driven hype. He started the first 4 games and is now on the bench for a team that is not scoring or winning. Why would they not want this great dead ball, ball winning, assist making midfield general.
Haba..kilode gaaan? The boy tiff sontin from you?

There's nothing unusual about a coach changing tactics, dropping players etc when the team is not performing, particularly at the start ofvthe session. The team was not scoring so he took off a CM for a winger/forward, that's what happened. It doesn't mean Kelechi wasn't performing, he just had to do something different and it seems to be working. The fact that kelechi still features off the bench even though his duties are primarily defensive shows how much the coach likes him.

Who does this guy play for now? He's just OK, not SE starting material. I hope he improves to the potential folks here expect him to get to

We have been talking about this guy's "potential" for nearly 10 years now. Still waiting.

My brother, I tire oh. Even at U-17 level, I rate Ifeanyi Matthew pass am. Ifeanyi Matthew was an exact replica of Oliseh, Long range pass and Shot that year. His not participating at the world cup in UAE possibly affected his development. He was my best player in that 2013 U-17 Eaglet.

In fact, I recall reading somewhere back then that even Alampasu was a late replacement for another 'keeper who was the real no 1 for that set. For whatever reason he was dropped, never to be heard of again.

Then Wilfred Ndidi who had to be dropped because ofchanges in his MRI findings never made the U17 World Cup with Nacho and Awoniyi.
He must have been devastated at the time, I'm sure.
Adeyinka Adewale, who was injured between the U17 AFCON and the U17 WC…
He was called up by Peseiro for the Super Eagles’ friendlies against Mexico and Ecuador last year.

PS: Savior Godwin, another Peseiro cap, was also part of the 2013 U17 squad.
Thanks Gotti.

He had another good game today., best player on the pitch for his club. If Fisayo can get a call playing in Turkey, it's time for Kelechi Nwakali to get another call.

I think Peseiro will call him as a last minute replacement for Onyedika who suffered a knock from his last game, also makes sense to invite Nwakali since the friendly games are in Portugal where he's based

Let’s not forget that some of “us” dismissed Mikel as a “sideways passer”, lol. Make no mistake, Nwakali’s got game and he belongs in the SuperEagles🤔❗️

This is true. But I believe the difference was that Mikel was delivering on all fronts and obviously strictly sticking to instructions
Nwakali on the other hands has been patchy in output and not convincing any of his several managers to trust him in his role.
Hopefully, this appears to be changing and once his confidence is sufficiently reinforced, he will become the top player we have all been waiting for.
Let us pray….

So how many of our current midfielders are better than him on current form? Two of our main Midfielders play in division 2 and one of our current midfielders that starts every game for the super eagles hardly makes the bench for his division 2 club! To be clear, we don’t have any midfielder that's a top player at the moment, so why reject one that is currently playing well and in good form? I don't understand.

It’s crazy he plays in our coaches country but even with good performances the coach is still picking 2nd division bench warmers like Aribo over him…You can’t say with a straight face that he’s not SE quality and yet you are fine with the likes of Aribo getting invited…

Did someone just compare Mikel and Nwakali or even mention two of them in the same sentence?

the midfield of SE includes: Ndidi, Onyeka, Iwobi, Onyedika......Nwakali is not on the same level as any of them.

Aribo on the other hand might not be in the best of forms but i still believe he is better than him.

the likes of Fisayo, Alhassan have better claim than him...thats my opinion though

The problem is, hardly anyone thinks Aribo is still SE quality.
I can’t think of anyone here that is “fine with it”.
But that doesn’t mean we are “fine” with Nwakali either.

To be fair, he seems to be building a case for his invitation more recently.
His invite will come. He better seize it once it does.
