Super Eagles fans have sent a message to manager Gernot Rohr that Tyronne Ebuehi should start ahead of Abdullahi Shehu at the 2018 World Cup.
They have made comparisons between the two right-backs and believe that the new Benfica signing has better qualities to become the Super Eagles first choice following the team’s 1-0 loss to Czech Republic on Wednesday afternoon.
Ebuehi has been shadowing Abdullahi Shehu since he made his international debut last June, replacing him in matches against Togo, Argentina, Poland and England, and it is thought he would have forced his way into the starting lineup ahead of the mundial if not for his injury problems in the second half of the 2017-2018 season.
Take a look at what Super Eagles fans are saying on Twitter :
@Trikss_EYF : ”As for me, Abdullahi Shehu ❌ Tyronne Ebuehi ✔”
@monclev : ”Playing Abdulahi Shehu ahead of Tyronne Ebuehi beats me. How did Brian Idowu made it to Russia? Some things should be corrected before the World Cup. #Supereagles #NGR”.
@MichaelImianvan : ”Tyronne Ebuehi On for Shehu Abdullahi again! Oga Shehu, no vex, you won’t start against Croatia”.
@CecDebonair : ”Ebuehi did that well, however, same cannot be said of his counterpart at the other end, idowu/echiejile. Echiejile was defensive minded and idowu was profligate.”
@DPapparazy : ”Good idea wrong tools. Ebuehi would have done better if he started, same can not be said of Echiejile on the left flank. Am Hopeful”.
@unclevee : ”Tyrone Ebuehi could be one of the most important players on this super eagles team and he keeps coming off the bench. Maybe Shehu is better in training, but Ebuehi adds a lot more when he comes in.”
@Ferranmey : ”#NGACZE the only way to go past the group stage is to have 3 Mikels in MF, 2 Iwobi’s and a 2nd Ebuehi that uses left foot for LB”.
@Wedemandjustic1 : ”Even against Argentina ( before Ramadan), Ebuehi performed far better than Abdullahi.”
@Amoky : ”Personally, Shehu Abdullahi has filled in well, we need to understand that that the right-back is not his natural position, but Ebuehi is designed and built for that position. He is technically better, has got the speed to initiate an attack and positioning is awesome.”
@zuby_galaticos : ”I’m disappointed at him. Tyrone Ebuehi plays with much ease and understands football better than him.”
@CuteNaija : ”If our coach knows what he is doing, EBUEHI needs to start at right back when the World Cup begins, he is far better. It’s not a fluke that Benfica just signed him.”
@Uzochi_O : ”Ebuehi looks assured on the ball. How do we keep playing Shehu ahead of him?”
@Sir_Fin : ”Ebuehi is not bad at all.”
@fome_ekere : ”Tyrone Ebuehi is class.”
@tosinadeda : ”Tyrone Ebuehi should never be benched for Shehu Abdullahi again #ngacze”.
@Wene_SmallzZz : ”Ebuehi has to play ahead of Shehu now, I’ve seen just enough to accept that.”
@1ManCabal : ”#NGACZE Ebuehi seems to improve the game whenever he’s brought on.”
@Ed_edmirage : ”Abdullahi shehu should never start ahead of Ebuehi”.
@Owodeco : ”Ebuehi should displace Sheu abeg. Dude is some distance ahead of Sheu especially going forward.”
@temitayoojotayo : ”I told u so @setosa10 that Ebuehi is a billion times better than Shehu”.
@YomaVictor : ”Ebuehi over Shehu. #ngacze”.
@odineisipatrick : ”Ebuehi seem a better upgrade of Shehu Abdullahi… His only problem is he not knowing how to cross the ball…”
@zuby_galaticos : ”We lost to a team that Australia trashed 4 nil. It was a good game though. Shehu Abdullahi must never start ahead of Ebuehi again”.
@emmaikumeh : ”#NGACZE there’s a lot of positives from this game.. I Rhor had learnt a lesson or two from this game No 1 lesson : victor Moses shouldn’t be taking our set piece for us. Lesson no 2 : Tyrone Ebuehi is way better than Shehu. No 3 : we need to learn how defend corner kicks.”
@monclev : ”Playing Abdulahi Shehu ahead of Tyronne Ebuehi beats me… ”
