Stop capping

Haaland will not struggle to score goals on any team

You think Napoli will allow victor go easily ,you have forgotten their president so quick and the koulibally saga
Don’t mind them. They’re what we call yes men. Instead of them advising him to work on his weakness I.e positioning in tight space, missing easy chances you’re suggesting that he leaves a good team. Yes men are one of the worse kind of people that you need in order to suceed

He's right about Salah. That guy is currently in another planet which is different from any player in the world right now.
Salah has 15 goals so far Osimehn has 9 and awoniyi 12. As a coach, you shouldn’t be downplaying your team

Watch this coach talking about we don’t have players in the form of Salah and manehuh Do you see why people dislike this coach for his lack of believe? How can you watch Osimehn this season and Ndidi and say that we don’t have players in the form of mane and Salah?? You’re indirectly showing lack of believe in your players

Even Harland will struggle to score goals in this napoli team

Everyone upfront wanna score, they barely create chances for their strikers. Don't think it will be easy for a top 9 to get an hatrick in this team playing italian teams....

My advise is for him to try score beyond 20 goals this season and should interest from bayern or other top teams spring up he should take it and leave the team
That is not true. Osimehn is actually doing well so far and it is not every time that he will score goals. You guys should stop the habit of blaming Napoli team when Osimehn don’t score. They won 3 - 0 and that’s all that matters. I was strictly talking of the free header that he missed towards the end of the game. Haaland and lewandoski are on a different level now
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by 12large1: 9:38pm On Oct 28, 2021
Osimehn should had scored that free header. Overall, he had a good game and deserved a goal

Now you understand why some of us prefers Osimhen over Halaand? Halaand is the sole penalty taker for Dortmund and imagine Osimhen has been the one who has been taken Napoli 7 penalties this season and he has scored the 7, that would have been 12 league goals for him already and with that I am sure even you will start having a rethink about who is better between Osimhen and Halaand
Presently, he is still not better than haaland but he can be in the future. Who knows! Why don’t y’all say awoniyi is better than haaland despite the fact that awoniyi has 12 goals so far?? Consistency is the key!

He shouldn't express himself again!. Mtchew
god punish you son of a bitchhh. Ronaldo does it and he is criticized for doing that while messi didn’t do that often when he had the likes of xavi, iniesta as team mates.

Oga how many goals did he scored for man utd

With the opportunity he had he could not score one epl goal

For Watford he never exceed 18 epl league goals a season

You saw what Cavani did upon coming on board to show u what class entails

U want Ole to act based on sentimentshuh If it was Oshimen with those missed chances he had in man utd dude would have buried it

Don't blame ole for Ighalo man utd ouster he just was not good enough for man utd
I don’t think that people are suggesting that ighalo should bench osimehn. We just want ighalo to be a solid introduction from the bench or replacement for osimehn if he is unavailable. It is only Nigeria that wants to disregard it’s expressed “in form” players while everyone else are playing their experienced players. Go and rewatch italy 2020 winning squad and see the ages of their center backs

Osimehn should stop this bad habit of raising his hand in disgust when his team mate misplace a pass to him. Very unprofessional! Aside of that, he has been fairly decent and he was the reason why bologna conceded a penalty

do you know about the Moroccan attacking midfielder harit at Olympic marseille?

Go check him out
Trust me, he isn’t a better dribbler than ejuke. For example, ejuke dribbled 8 players at the same time vs tunisia and against CAR he dribbled 5 players at the same time. Omo it’s rare seeing such

I found this video on Youtube and decided to share.
Ejuke showings so far in the league, especially the current league season.
Not every of his displays were shown, for example, his last assist is not in the video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBVfWc8Tl0U

This guy has good midfield and wing play and can be a counter-attacking threat.

I observed the following:

Good dribbling skills.
Holding on to the ball.
Good passing.
Speed.
Good finishing.
The most skillful African player now and one of the best dribblers in the world. If he were Brazilian, dude would had been at madrid

For the guys promoting Amoo,playing in an amateur league like the Swedish league is different from playing and competing with experienced and exposed players from major European and African leagues
Amoo isn’t an upgrade on what’s available now and he must sign for a bigger club or prove himself at a bigger league before any invitation

Osimehn, ejuke and chukwueze combination can challenge any defense in Africa assuming they have a midfield orchestrator around them. For example, Ejuke is probably the Best Dribbler in the entire Africa right now if you think that I am lying, show me a better dribbler than ejuke in Africa now

I'm particular about a combination of Amoo, Ejuke, Chukwueze Osimhen. These guys are ballers
It won’t work because 3 of them play at similar positions. I think some of you guys believe that any dribbler is good enough to play as a playmaker. (Not true) we need a Xavi, Zidane, modric type of playmaker not unnecessary dribbles

I wish Iwobi the very best and hope his game produces a better execution. But , baba , I don't know how long the boy is gonna hang in there. The most frustrating part of Iwobi's game is we don't know what position best suits him. He isn't an AM , a winger nor an 8 , (because he can't score for clubside, despite game time). But for some strange reasons he just happened to almost get a goal with SE.
It's ok to score for SE , but if Iwobi doesn't up his game at Everton the his SE starting position will be under serious threat , very soon.
In a Nigerian shirt as an attacking midfilder, iwobi is the best option for now. A goal record of 9 in 44

My dream SE lineup includes:
Uzoho

Aina
Awaziem
Balogun
Ndidi-Onyeka
Ejuke-Amoo/Nwakali/Nwobodo-Chukwueze
Osimhen


This selection will surely produce some beautiful football.

Ok here is how the SE should play IMO
I'm not a coach, but Ted Lasso is not a coach either grin
As for Rohr, he thinks he still coaching Niger, so

3 -5 -2

Goalkeeper
Maduka Okoye

Defenders
Troost Ekong
Balogun
<please insert a defender>

Midfield
Ndidi
Iwobi
Aribo
Moses Simon
Awaziem

Attack
Iheanacho
Oshimen

Sub
Ahmed Musa <last 10minutes if looking for a goal>

If they play this system and allow Iheanacho to set up Oshimen, like he does for Leicester, Oshimen will score multiple goals a game

Find a rugged defender to complement Oyingbo wall, will see us conceding less silly goals

Ok, pundits and analysts, what do y'all think?
Honestly, it depends on our opponent. For example, if we’re playing an inferior team (FIFA ranking wise) it’s unacceptable to play a defensive 352 and bench attacking superstars like ejuke, chukwueze…… but, if we’re playing a superior team (fifa ranking wise) 352 can be adopted. Also, remove awaziem for zaidu

You can clamor for Vicmo from now till eternity, it is clear as day that Victo Moses will not return to the SE.
Chriskels talked about Victor Moses' lack of commitment even during his best of days and that is true. He sealed that attitude by retiring from the SE. He will not return.

Experience is gotten by opportunity. Let the young ones now be given that opportunity. The earlier the better so that we can reap from their experience for long.

I repeat it nothing much Ighalo and Victor Moses going to bring to the table...mind you am a real fan of Victor Moses and I supported Ighalo like kilode on this thread.

Nobody forced the two guys into retirement and if they want to come back they should come out openly,no wahala but their coming does not guarantee Afcon trophy or World Cup qualification.
Ighalo own is simply to be osimehn bench replacement and it’s arguable. But, Victor Moses will walk into our 11. I will pick him ahead of all our present wingers except Ejuke. He is a solid RWB

Ighalo has done very well for the super eagles, and he retired peacefully. We do not need him again; the super eagles need midfielders exceptionally creative midfielders, not strikers. We have enough strikers in the team. Bringing Ighalo back will not do any good for the team

Andrew bid to be objective make him not to consider team chemistry and strengths sometimes when talking about this onauchu

Lets stop being sentimental he does not fit into our system

Do u know that u can play Sadiq/Nacho and Oshimen as 2 pivot attack in a midfield of Aribo/Frank and Ndidi with ejuke and chuks on both wings and still create and score goals but i doubt if you can do that with Onauchu
