Captain fantastic, national team form is different from club team package for some players… No wahalla, I love this SE o, hustle your shirt, simple!
@Q Ezigbo Captain Fantastic… Abeg make we hear word Joor!!!!. This your Musa will be fazed out of this Squad Just like your other Mediocre Low League King Onazi watch and see when we true fans have had enough we have had enough. Musa feels he is Super Eagles Poster boy Abi. Okay oooo we dey here dey look.
#OperationdropAhmedMusa is in full swing
Which musa are you talking about. Is it the one that has done great things for the super eagles. Is he the one that has lots of experience at this level. Is he the one that is still just 27. Is he the one that has faced and scored against big teams. Common musa is still relevant.
@Christian ministries Nigeria Yes he is indeed Relevant in Saudi Arabian ball, not International High level Ball
i will personaly love to see tijani and onyeka pairing iwobi in the middle. i am sorry i dont feel comfortable with mikel agu or ajayi in the midfield, though they are not bad in that position but they havnt shown any class in that position before, despite numerouse games. agu doesnt initiate any reasonable offensive moves even in his most decorated highlights. ajayi is a centre back and cannot offer morethan wat we have seen of him in the dm position. I surggesr Rohr should start onyeka and tijani let us learn new thins from these tilented midfielders. if its possible i do like to see akpoguma and ajayi or balogun in our centre back. both of them have been more competative in recent games. premier league and bundesliga is ahead of scotland and championship. saidu and aina are my favourite wing backs to start. as for the front three, i think its a difficult one bcos they are all good to go. dessers/iheanacho ahead of unoucho based on speed and ball skills. i wish us victory over them. God bless Naija
Really love our energy when it comes to our national teams, After a long wait atleast we can see our eagles again,But one funny thing is the stadium imagine 2 good teams with talented players playing in this type of field no wonder ivorycoast run not because of osimhen but the stadium ,now Cote di voire vs Belgium.
Our darling super eagles will be back again to entertain we the fans and I am loving the kind of competition in the camp already.it is now left for them to prove to the coach GR that he made no mistake picking them ahead of others..
I can’t wait to see the new boys showing us the fans what they are made of.
I see good results coming out of this present set of players and it won’t take more time for us to rule Africa and make name in the world football again with this our young team blended with experience..
Kudos to GR and the NFF for the good work they are doing with our national team..
May God bless us all and keep us to enjoy the good things this current team will bring. Amen

@Sportfan Very Weak line up bros thank god you are not the coach, this line up of yours will get a hammering by Algeria no doubt
Well..@Ugo can we have yours?
Okoye
Awaziem or O Aina( I would pick Aina he was solid for Fulham last week)
K Omeruo
Ekong
J Collin
Ajayi(CDM)
AZeez
Iwobi
Kalu
Iheanacho
Chukwueze
There we go based on performances against Brazil and Ukraine As well as Bennin and Lesotho
I would Definitely bring the Boy Sanisu Zaidu in beginning of Second half to give him a full 45 mins he looks really quality I no go lie. As well as Ejuke and this Dresser Una dey make too much noise about Make I see wettin dey. Onuachu is Lucky Osimhen Is in Quarantine Even still He is too sluggish I personally wouldn’t give him a run. But I am not Rohr
Lets see your selection coach ugo iwunze!

Hahahahaha….so it is this your own line up that is a strong line up that will not get hammered by algeria….LMAO. I even thought it was one sensible line up he will give have running down another person’s lineup.
The same defense that was out of sorts against Algeria in the AFCON semis, Omeruo and Ekong (2 similar style defenders) always running into each other and 2 slow defensive midfielders…..against a very pacy and high pressing Algeria attack, lastly giving a very lethargic collins to Mahrez once again to devour when we have a tenatious speed king in Sanusi (nicknamed rocketman in portugal)….LMAO. Any latter you will call Rohr Dumb, Dizzy, Senseless, Bastard etc coach…Lolz.
Thank God you are no where near our national team….LMAO. You obviously cant do better than your usual rabble-rousing behind your keyboard….LMAO
@Dr Drey I use sense not like you wey just dey Yarn Rubbish.
I made a strong line up based on what is Available to us. If Osimhen, Ndidi and Aribo are there I will slot them in starting 11. If you get sense you go Badu wettin I Mean. Include Lookman, Onyekuru and Nwakali or Peter Etebo these will be the first three substitutes in attack. Rohr no get sense hense Onyekuru Lookman and Nwakali are not there. Nwakali I understand but the guy is more quality than Agu No doubt and some of the Midfield guys Rohr called up. Anyway we dey here de look
I get sense guy unlike this Mugu wey call himself Dr Dre or abi na Drey HAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!
Mumu….so the other person too did not know that Osimhen, Ndidi and Aribo were not available when he listed his own squad for the Algeria match kwanu…his own line up was not based on what was available? It is your own line up that has 2 slow DMs, two CDs who do not understand each other and a left back that Mahrez will use for supper, against a fast, pacy, high press and deadly attack, that is a strong squad that wont be decimated by Algeria……LMAO. I had always known you are dumber and dizzier than the coach.
If only you were not stupid, you will not be listing Lookman, Onyekuru, Nwakali or Peter Etebo who are not even available for a match we are playing in 2 days time….LMAO. Your ignorance and stupidity has not made you realize that even onyekuru has not be in Monaco’s squad in the last 2 games and hence his omission is more than justified and that Lookman has not been approved for Nigeria by FIFA yet and as such is ineligible.
Pls go and sell this senseless sense wey you think say you get and use the money to buy cabin biscuits. I go order better sense for you from ebay…dem go deliver am to you within the next 48 hrs….Educated illiterate….!
Glad to see the Eagles again…all happy to be there.
I would really like to see Samson Tijani play. How long are we(Nigerians) going to be kind of dimming the lights of our starlets?? In Europe it’s not like that. Experience is not there business. When you’ve got the talent, they promote you via the National team and Big clubs will come gunning for the Young lad. Take for Example, MBAPPE, Ansu Fati, Greenwood…How old were this guys when they made there national team debut?? And the interesting part of it was that they all did amazingly well when they played them. So why not put the same Trust in Tijani and start him for this Friendlies and stop shouting SEMI AJAYI (A natural CB) to come and play DMF role when we have Tijani?? Onyeka and Agu also present.
Wishing the team all the Best
Will this match be live on tv?abi na primary school pitch dem wan use
?
