It is the height of mediocrity and lack of technical savvy for a coach to continuously ignore players who play year in, year out in the champion league and Europa league for players who do not because these competitions make a player touch. This most while most SE away amidst tough opponent like Ghana and Tunisia is because they don’t have the experience of playing big games. A player like Olayinka should be an integral member of the SE now ahead of others. He is so accurate just like Iheanacho in the final third. He is also a fighter. A player who has score against almost the top teams in Europe with top class defenders. He understands what it takes to get a chance against a stingy opponent. Imagine moses Simon away our best chance against Ghana because he his mentality has been demented from playing for relegation teams. He does not have the mentality of a champion. If I have I way we should invite the Dude again and others with poor sense in the final third..SE coaches should always consider the inherent qualities of a player before invitation. A player like Nwobodo has a superb last ball. A player with ball sense in the final third. We are tired of players who only know how to dance around in the midfield but have poor end product..

This is the most reason why most SE players fade off amidst tough opponent like Ghana and Tunisia of recent because they don’t have the experience of playing big games. A player like Olayinka should be an integral member of the SE now ahead of others. He is so accurate just like Iheanacho in the final third. He is also a fighter. A player who has scored against almost all the top teams in Europe with their top class defenders. He understands what it takes to get a chance against a stingy opponent and the implication of missing it. Imagine moses Simon wasting away our best chance against Ghana because his mentality has been demented from playing for relegation teams. He does not have the mentality of a champion.

@Four four two… Tacky Coach Eguaveon will tell you: “I have not watched Sor live, I have not watched Chuba Akpom live, I have not watched Dessers live… Infact that Nwobodo, or whatever his name is, that they are saying he can play some midfield game, I have never worked with him, neither have I ever watched him live… so I do not know these players can react in real games, I don’t have information on them” that’s usual and characteristic of a clueless and confused coach like Eguaveon… Yet he will name players suggested to him by his assistants, each of whom who has a funnel to those players they each clamor and suggest to Egauveon for collecting cash backs… for squad places. We know what they are about… Obinna Nwobodo is majestic in Turkey league. I watched Chuba Akpom yesterday against Marseille and had their defence on edge for almost 80minutes that he played… We should stop with average players who can’t fight or drop a decent ball in the 18yard for scramble and plunder by our Strikers… Olayinka did not just started showing what he is capable of doing in Europe today… he sweated Barcelona, Inter Milan, Leverkussen a couple of seasons ago… Olayinka single-handedly destroyed Rangers of Scotland and Leicester City last season in Europe… that’s who you could a versatile player with energy and game… We keep using rosy eyes from U-17 FIFA world cup days to give unnecessary previlieges to players like Iheanacho, Chukwueze, Osimhen and we are paying for it… See what Simmy Nwankwo did last season in Serie A. Yet he was ostracized by Rohr… It’s devil that Punish Nigeria with Qatar WC Qualification failure because of bias, tribalism and favoritism in Super Eagles player selection in the last 4years… recycling weak and inefficient average players… Where was top 5 league players when Ghana tested our character over 180minutes?
JIMMY,such an hypocritical human like u.You must be one of those shameless politicians distorting and destroying Nigeria.
I thought u wanted Rohr out at all costs and wanted Eguavoen in. And that you don’t mind if we loose with our own.
You and the likes got what u asked for and u should not complain. Bastards like u should live in the wilderness where ur actions will not bother others.You are such a robot with a week heart.
Offcourse ,you are happy we did not qualify, cos we failed with our own. So enjoy this dryness while it last block head.
Oga se you don take your medication this morning. This one that you convulsing here on CSN. I will advise you go get yourself examined and come back and relate like a normal person. Abi the parrot gave you some of the Peanuts i sent to his cage. Rubbish
You mean spicy peanuts lolz. Don’t let Dr Drey catch you. Hahahahaha
@KENNETH… You too know baba. Hahaha… You get Eagle eye to spot the lizard from your skyline flight height.
The same individual is morphing all over the place chasing the ghost of @JimmyBall. No matter how the parrot morph to insult decent men here we will burst his gimmicks always… hahaha.
@Zeus… Keep following yourself Mr. MORPHING MURPHY… hahaha. No be only “Emmanuel” you go soon adopt “Nebuchadnezzar” based on new trend of Bible names morphology. See cricket sense… hahahaha. Looking for @JimmyBall all over every CSN thread. I spoke that Eguaveon had nothing to offer and has always failed even before we played Ghana in Kumasi. Since he was foistered on us, some of thought he has learnt something from his days of taking Super Eagles to humiliation in Conakry in 2011 setting the stage for our AFCON no-show in 2012.
