Napoli can't go anywhere with their current set up. Keeps possession, no drive, everyone wants to shoot. No crossing, no through passes, nothing. Osimhen would do best to leave before they stagnate his progress.

There's nothing wrong with Napoli style that's how they do it in Italy just that osimehn isn't their type of striker and either they play to his strengths or he play to their strengths. A player like simy will score double figures at Napoli and I don't even consider simy a better player than osimehn. Due diligence is very important before signing a big contract

forgiveness:
Onuachu game has really improved.

I wasn't a fan of Onuachu based on his horrible performance for SE and I'm not just talking about Goals his overall performance for SE was Atrocious prior to his last 2 games. In his last 2 games vs Benin, Lesotho, his overall performance was impressive and he capped it with 2 goals. This is why it's imperative to invite in form players because Confidence can be the difference between 0 goal and 1 goal

realpoacher:
Your comparison doesn't hold water.

How was Simy's first season's performance

How many goals did he score in his first season?

If I remember correctly, this is his 4th season in Italy, and I also remember that he scored his first goal in his first season after 25 games, that was his goal against Juventus in 2018 before the world Cup

You're right but how much did simy sign for in his first season? Osimehm came to napoli for 70 mil meaning that he is coming and expected to score goals meaning that his representatives should had done their due diligence before selling him. If osimehn was at Liverpool, Dortmund best believe that he would score more goals. I don't think experience is the issue but Napoli style vs osimehn style because you can still see that he is a good player

Simmy Na confirm old layer

It seems Our brothers here don’t like players who are 27 upward

In today's Era that players are playing at 36,38 omo 28 is even young. These isn't the 80's or 90's that footballers retire at 32,33. For now we need to be playing 2 strikers every game because our strengths is in our strikers

Players has to do their due diligence before signing a player because the way napoli style is set up, osimehn isn't the type of striker needed. Someone will now use his mouth to trivalize Simy goal scoring records in the same seria A

andrewbaba44:
Iheanacho follow for komekn exile

Never pay attention to people that can never celebrate or see the light in you when you deserve it. They will only denigrate or discuss your bad side

Seria A has to be the hardest to score among the big 3 or mapoli style doesn't suit osimehn. Respect any player that scores double figure in that Seria A

I don't think that he is a racist as in color racist hating black people because he had successful black players on his team. But, I don't think he respect African Football culture that's why he doesn't sign them. Pep doesn't believe that African Football culture is technical enough. Another thing about pep is his disdain for players with "tough Characters" he absolutely will not tolerate any player that wants to be bigger than him and that has nothing to do with Color.

How you substitute your highest scorer at 76th minute now you lose your game

Noahubspot:
Modern-day football is far from how football was played in the 90s and early 2000s. For those singing Simy and Onauchu's praises, I hope say una deh watch football.

Modern-day football is all about PACE, and AGILITY.

Let's shun this myopic behavior of ours, and call a spade a spade, at least for once.

Any ardent football fan will agree to the fact that Simy and Onauchu are light years behind, in terms of modern-day football. These guys are too slow for crying out loud.

Like I said in my previous post;

The top 4 Super Eagles strikers are;

V. Osimhen
K. Nacho
T. Moffi
U. Sadiq

Here's my reason.

V. Osimhen: This guy possesses everything you'd want from a CF. Apart from his SPEED, which I believe is a crucial facet of every successful striker, Osimhen can creates lots and lots of chances for his teammates to bang the goals.

Mind you, he's not a skillful striker, but his PACE, oh my good God...

K. Nacho: Nacho lacks PACE! Yes, I talk am. The boy isn't pacy, but...he's got a tremendous skill set to substitute for that. In his day, he can make scoring fun-filled, I swear. In fact, ask Man Utd fans, I believe they'll have one or more contributions to make.

T. Moffi: He's not a household name, to start with. In short, he's one of those new kids in the block. But hey! This guy got PACE and STRENGTH, coupled with SWEET LEFT-FOOT. Seeing Moffi balling reminds me of one Belgian bulldog, the great Lukaku. Although he's not very tall like the Belgian number 9. But his SHOT on-target is powerful enough to either ends a keeper's career, or shift the goal post.

U. Sadiq: He's the tallest of the 4. But guess what? He's got loads of PACE and SKILLS. Sadiq is a joy to watch.

Simy and Onauchu? I like these 2 guys, but I wouldn't love to have them near the GWG.

My reason(s)?

Simy and Onauchu are damn slow! Forget about the goals. But I can tell for a fact that these 2 guys can not penetrate some very AVERAGE defenders of this world.

Neither Simy nor Onauchu has what it takes to play modern-day football. They lack PACE!

Quote me anywhere...

You must be a mad slowpoke. A player that has 17 goals in the same league that another player has 5 goals isn't good enough for Nigeria?? You don Colo. I'm not even saying that he should be a starter, but he deserves a chance to compete for shirt since he is in form. Kanu wasn't the fastest player in the world but his football intelligence and technique made up for it

andrewbaba44:
It’s dumb to use Villarreal and arsenal to judge who is better

90 percent of people here knows saka is the better player but some are pained saka didn’t play for naija so they will opt for chuks

So if chuks scores and saka failed to score that means he is better than saka ? Lol

Many of una no sabi anything las las

Although, chuks has lost form and hasn't been as good as he was when he came into the scene, you cannot deny that chuks first season in LA liga was world class. He was really good and terrorizing madrid and barca in his 1st season. Idk what happened afterwards

andrewbaba44:
There is no debate about samu and saka just because Villarreal will be playing arsenal

So if saka scores he is the better player ?

If samu score he is the better player ?

Another beer parlour analysis loading

Uncle there's a debate o. Some section here say that saka is better while some sections says that chuks is better. Now, they have been paired against each other and are expected to play the 2 legs assuming there isn't any injuries to the 2 and 180 minutes of football is a good measurement of comparisons between the 2. Also, we're not just analyzing goals but their overall contribution in those 180 minutes

Samu vs saka let's end this debate once and for all and late this year maybe Nigeria will draw IVC to end that debate

andrewbaba44:
If you play badly you play badly bro ,forget its Modrić and raktic, eagles where very bad against Croatia

But he didn't play badly in that game tho

JohnBullMySon:
Keep on blaming everyone for your problem. Cos that's how we'll improve

They also prevented us from developing our countries too.

Of course I expect you to hail the white man he is your alpha and omega, he gave you civilization he is your king. Of course, they're partially responsible for the undevelopment of Africa anyone that opposes their ideology will be eliminated

chrisooblog:
what did he do in that game?

he had the most dribble in world cup history until hazard broke that record. What did ndidi do

andrewbaba44:
Best naija player with the whole team playing badly

You might be right but I hate to pick a best player from such game

Etebo didn't play badly in that game considering the fact that he was challenging modric and rakitic

JohnBullMySon:
African football, African this and that. Yet everybody go come back house after one week for world cup.

Of course, when they get unfavorable draws, Biased Referrees and aren't given enough chances at the best clubs in the world, how do you expect them not to come back home in a week??

chrisooblog:
Etebo tries I agree but the thing is how effective is he in the role? yes he was our best midfielder but can you recall any game and say wow Etebo you sure stood out. During the WC and AFCON how many games can you say yes we won the midfield battle?

Etebo in my opinion has not been played in a role that allows him to play his best football and Rohr should be held responsible for that. Siasia seemed to be able to get the best out of him

Nigeria vs Croatia- he was the best Nigerian player on that pitch that day

nairalandankrah:
Despite his goal against sampdoria, see what a Napolitan fan said about osimhen...

Osimhen a terrible buy for Napoli.. Imagine ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npql-uqsSwM

In this game of football, fans are very fickle and emotional. Iheanacho has shown that few impressive games can have a change of opinion from the fans. Remember, the same fans said much worse about iheanacho 2 years ago and in the space of 2 spaces, few impressive performances they're having a change of heart about him. Osimehn should keep working hard, improving and scoring and slowly by slowly, napoli fans will be excited about him and adulating him.

andrewbaba44:
They are talking about ndidi and etebo and you are talking about English players that are yet to play for us

Etebo is not even a starter for now in the eagles

Ndidi Aribo iwobi

My bro, that one no fit happen on African pitch vs African teams. Iwobi and Aribo (2 lightweight) Lol dem go pass us like breeze

One thing for sure I'm not dropping etebo for any of these English Rejects that you guys are salivating over on African pitch against African teams. Internationally sha, it's a different ball game

Tolulopefinest:
I disagree with you sir. Even in his role in Leicester city, you'll see his work rate, but I've not really seen him do 20 percent of what he does at Leicester city in the Super Eagles. Instead, he would be causing unnecessary free kicks in dangerous positions. The Afcon matches against Algeria and Madagascar are examples. Those two freekicks led to a goal.

Don't shake tables o before dey attack you.

charlesemeka85:
Oga etebo is below average abeg.

My friend shut up, For SE he has been better than ndidi so if he is average at best for SE then what's ndidi?? The ndidi at leicester is a different player from SE ndidi though

Moniter0:
If you want to hype Etebo, please do so without trying to ridiculously water down Ndidi's impact in the SE. If Etebo has been playing better than Ndidi as some people who have us believe then how come the latter's absence in the team has been felt in games he didn't feature, while same can't be said of the former? Or rather, my question will be why do you get so tensed whenever somebody mentions Etebo? If Etebo has been chuning out better performance as you have claimed, you won't be fighting so hard to shove it down our throats because it will be apparent for all to see, but since you know that what you are selling is not the obvious, you keep on repeating the same nauseating and mendacious claim hoping it will become true in the minds of the audience. I don't want to speak ill of Etebo. I have said he is a good player and I still maintain that stance, but this ludicrous comparison of Etebo and Ndidi should cease.

We all watched 2018 world cup and 2019 ANC and the best SE midfielder in those 2 tournaments was ETEBO. So calling him average at best is calling all SE midfielders below at best. One thing I have noticed is that once people have their favorite here, anyone that his opinion goes against the contrary, they will feel attacked. Personally, I don't Give a fvck SE comes before any individual and I'm not analyzing on emotions

TheSuperNerd:
This guy again. Could you please stop quoting me to spill rubbish??

Who is talking down on Etebo?? Me??

Everytime you quote me it is just unrelated nonsense that leaves your fingers. What's the deal man?? Do you think you have done a better analysis of how good Etebo is than me on this thread? You better cease quoting me if you cannot bring yourself to say something sensible on my mention. You always quote me out of context. Thank you.

Saying his just a good "squad player" at best when he has been the best SE midfielder at 2 tournaments that I watched and statistically documented by analyst is insulting. Based on wc 18 and Anc 19, if etebo is a squad player at best then what will iwobi and ndidi be??


But I don't personally try to quote you don't even look at the person that I'm responding to I just rrspond to comments. It isn't personal

TheSuperNerd:
Aribo will still come very good in the GWG. He is a quality talent. Got a high ceiling and I believe he will evolve into that more assertive player in the middle for us. Among our midfielders he remains the most adept at arriving late in the box to provide scoring threats for us. But his qualities show he can be much more.

Etebo is a good squad player but won't offer us that midfield control we seek.

Options will come. Ejaria is still incoming and he is a good ball carrier. Nwakali is seriously working his way back and is one that can orchestrate a game effortlessly.

Little Lesley Ugochukwu should be the next big thing at CDM in Ligue 1 when he finally gets his senior chances next season.
If Frank Onyeka makes the step up from Denmark into a top 5 league or even Belgium, be too could become a squad option.

This is my hope and more for the CM and DM roles depth of the team. Just a matter of time.

The Etebo that you guys talk down on has been more impressive than Ndidi for Super Eagles in 2 tournaments that I watched all games. Wc 2018, ANC 2019..... I think he deserves some respect

forgiveness:
Yekini scored 21 goals in the Portuguese Liga. Don’t forget Owobokiri scored 30 goals in the same league before him.

How many times will I tell you people to stop comparing farmers league to the big 3 Yoi can't compare scoring 21 league goals in Portuguese league to the epl or seria a

The way napoli players celebrate with osimehn when he scored made me realize that there isn't any personal discord with him rather they're not used to his fast pace style that's why he doesn't get as much ball as he does at SE. Osimehn is a player that thrives on pace, Running etc while napoli thrives on Slow paced football. So, in order for osimehn to excel napoli has to change their philosophy to suit him or osimehn should change his own philosophy to suit napoli style.. Good goal today!

ChrisKels:
Rejuvenation is what Tuchel is doing now, producing results with same team Lampard failed with. Rohr is rather lucky to have these quality players springing up in his era, he wouldn't have done nothing with the same quality of players Keshi and Oliseh had

Rohr did the same in 2018 don't let hate distract you from the truth

andrewbaba44:
Think before you talk My guy

I don’t think you even like rohr Than me till after that seria Leone game

Wetin e rejuvenate?

Our players are good and doing well and all thanks to their hard work

He should rejuvenate musa who doesn’t deserved to be in the team

Bros if you remember where SE was when Rohr was hired and how he has transformed the team, you will give him some credit. We were ranked 66th in the world, had failed to qualify for 2 successive nations cup prior to his hiring and had no chance of qualifying for 2018 world cup. Trust me, the man rejuvenated our team. Although, I am questioning his tactical acumen in regards to late, poor substitution and selecting his best 11, I will give credit where credit is due

benji93:
Any reason why he can't be that tactician himself?

he is a great scout, man manager but his tactical knowledge is his downfall. He doesn't select his best players, Late and wrong substitution. His improving in that regard so let's see
