Let's DISCUSS: which players need to be called up for the play offs?

[Tobi17]

I don't know if Rohr will survive this brand of football terrorism that he has been dishing out to millions of Nigerian fans, but we can't help but wonder if most of these players are just irredeemably BAD regardless of the coach?

Anyway we made it to the final round albeit unconvincingly... and major changes have to be effected which means some players either need to be dropped or permanently benched, we are seeded in the same groups as Algeria, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Egypt? which would mean we won't be meeting any of these teams (thankfully, correct me if I'm wrong)... Which team would you not want us to face? and which players need to be called up for the play off rounds?

Hopefully by then the likes of Ejaria, Lookman, Amoo, Onyedika and other promising names would be ready... and yeah Rohr has got to go... along with Ekong.

[deanotito]

Ebuehi

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

You mean there's no world class player out there that hasn't being called? How about C RON and MESSI?

[airwolex]

Those names are not really upgrades though

I am hoping that our CDs improve before the playoffs.
Or that we accidentally discover a partnership that works.

Need to find an understudy for Moses Simon as well.

BTW, Ndidi needs to get back to match fitness... I never see this kind trekking since Oga used to roam the field pre-Bolton days. Dude was literally standing and walking while action was going on around him.

You really hope Ekong and Balogun will improve? your optimism meter must be very high then.

[donadoni]

Basic things like passing accurately when not under pressure were lacking. The number of poor passes from Iwobi for example or poor crosses from Simon. It takes a position where we have the ball in offense and coverts it to one where we are under pressure- all for no reason. Ekong making unforced errors in defense. Mentally something is up with their focus and confidence. To me it’s not about inviting other players (it’s not like there are so many much better players) but getting the ones we have to play with confidence and to their abilities. On paper this should be a great team

[Benedict Iroha]

What kind of retard calls back Ighalo. Rohr should be sacked. What a borefest!! What does Pinnick see in this guy?

[olu]

Ejaria, Lookman, Ebuehi, Awoniyi, and Sadiq. We can drop Musa, Shehu, and possibly Ighalo.

They won't. This is how they play.

Re Ndidi, he's clearly not fit.....he was struggling to cover ground esp in the heat and humidity

[green4life]

Both Balogun and Ekong are poor on the ball and this affects our build up from the back, leading to long balls routinely by passing our midfield. Just criminal in this day and age of modern football.

We can afford 1 but not both of them. I will hold onto Balogun and troway Ekong who is simply not good enough on the ground and not imposing in the air. We have better CD options who will improve our possession build up from the back AND through the midfield. All this 1950 kick and rush route 1 has to end pronto.

He was fairly improved from the last game (liberia) where is was a shadow of himself at best.

That’s what most fans are missing. We don’t have better players anywhere than what has been on display for the past year.

absolute nonsense.

I beg go hump a transformer

We dont have better players than

Moses Simon ?
Jamilu Collins ?
Odion Ighalo ?
Troost Ekong ?
Paul Onuachu ?
Ahmed Musa ?
Shehu Abdullahi ?

These junks need to get the fock off of our team. And you clowns claiming there is no one out there better, go find a bridge and do the necessary.

Why are you so rabid? It’s ok to express your opinion but these “ junks” and “ clowns” have actually served our country. Make you point but the constant name calling does not assure we hear you or agree with you anymore than if you were civil.

...just scout Europe for more foreign born as usual, dem plenty, since uns no like home based players, don't wanna invest in them.

[Odas]

What kind of retard calls back Ighalo. Rohr should be sacked. What a borefest!! What does Pinnick see in this guy?

My question is still: Why did Ighalo accept the offer to come back? If I were him, I wouldn't have come. I hope he doesn't regret his return.

[vancity eagle]

just shut up with your junk home based players who cannot even qualify for CHAN.

SE could field 3 squads of 23, and goalkeepers would be the only home based players called.

and since you are so dense, scouting for players in Europe in no way stops investment in the local league. Its as if you think the two things cannot be done simultaneously.

It is not the duty of SE, or a SE coach to develop or promote the local league.

Thats a fuucking lie.
