On Saturday the Super Eagles will host Rwanda and some of the players if not all have arrived at the camp but there's one player I don't know if he can be up to speed was invited, Ademola Lookman. He hasn't been in action for quite sometime now with his club since he was to make a move to Inter who showed interest with other EPL clubs but the deal to make a move collapsed and I wonder if the coach of the Super Eagles will still include him, because we have some other guys who have been battling since the beginning of the season who can take his spot, is it wise to start Ademola Lookman ahead of the others who have been in action in the clash against Rwanda?

This is a clash the super eagles needs to win if they want to keep their hopes of qualifying in the World Cup alive. Nigeria have always find it difficult in beating Rwanda, their last 4 fixtures have been 2 draw and each side win 1 each. The last time Rwanda visited Nigeria they won 1-2 so this time around the super eagles need to deliver on home soil.

I don’t think Ademola lookman will start or even be part of the match on Saturday, there are played who have been actively playing in the club side so they deserve to start ahead of someone who have not play in a competitive football for months. Lookman is a key player in the squad but i think it going to be difficult for the coach to make the decision to start him over others.

I’m really anticipating this fixture because Rwanda are a very tricky side and they really need at least a point to keep their qualifying hopes alive. Nigeria need nothing but 3 points so both countries have a lot to fight for.

Now why is it like that? We caused it, the Super Eagles likes to play under pressure which is not good for a national that have better players and sometimes I just see the Super Eagles as the 3 Lions of England, too much similarities, over hyped players who do better in their club side but perform poor as a national team. Well this game is in their hands, win all and qualify and maybe start using calculator, is now a tradition to do so.
What I think is, there are players who have already gotten a spot in the national team and it doesn't matter if you play in your club or not, you have that space to play in the national team. As long as Lookman is invited there's a possibility that he might play, now past events on what he has done can make him play and he can also deliver. My concern is for them to go out there and play like they are already losing by a goal to nil and if they score they should keep on pressing to get more goals, that will make there opponent fear to play a comfortable game.
