Joebie:
We are already loaded in the wings. They picked him for the midfield. Your question still valid.

Ejuke and amoo plays the same position just on different sides. Amoo plays as a RW, SS while Ejuke plays as a LW, RW or SS. There’s no blatant blueprint on how squads are selected. Anyway, we should respect our coach decision

Joebie:
If you do not have great options look to weaker leagues for the top performers just as we are doing with Sadiq.

A half fit Etebo can't be better than Obinna and Yusuf who are performing regularly. Our forwards are not gonna slot in to midfield roles
Wetin Amoo one do for match of this magnitude. he has a big future, but this is not the time to gamble.

The first step is making it a priority. Our coaches hasn’t made the midfield a priority and they believe that having 10 inform forwards win you games. Nigeria as a whole do not improve aspire to become midfielders

How in the heck did an inexperienced player like amoo get selected ahead of ejuke or Nwakaeme? People usually get impressed when players impresses at Lower league and will ask for them to replace they ones at a superior league. On current form, amoo isn’t better than Ejuke. Overall, it’s not a biggie. The biggie is lack of enough cm

Joebie:
Na Etebo go replace Ndidi. Amoo go replace Onyeka. Abi we go use Sadiq replace one of them

And the Ghanaians actually have a fair decent midfield not as good as the essien era, but are decent. As for me, I am going into the game with a free mind i don Dey lose interest self in World Cup. A tournament that an African team can never win. May the best team qualify

Joebie:
Wetin una think?

Actually a good formation in an away game but if any injuries occurs to the midfield, we’re a toast

Danielnino00:
Why did u exclude Ighalo?

Double standard..

You’re comparing goals scored in Seria A or Epl to Belgium and segunda league? Quality Precedes Quantity

Joebie:
4-2-4 na 4-4-2.
That one go get as e go be

We’re not using traditional old fashion wingers that’s why it’s considered a 424

andrewbaba44:
Which lower division is onuachu playing at ?

Awoniyi got his chance at the ANC and was okay. Let’s see someone else

Our coaches hasn’t realize the importance of a solid midfield. They simply disregard the midfield and believe that having plenty inform strikers will always win you games. Although, super eagles are lacking options in midfield, our coaches has also disregarded it. I expect another imbalanced 424 formation with wingers that aren’t capable of delivering accurate crosses. The Ghanaians simply just has to pack the bus and hope for a fortuitous Goal. The only luck on Eguavoen side is that Ghanaians are presently worse than Nigeria although derby games has no effect

elyte89:
Bro aside senior man status..we can't deny ighalos form..he's in form and we shld tap into DT..I won't b surprise if he starts sef

What about Musa and nwakaeme? 2 players in the same league look at their stats? Once you start compromising results for familiarity, you don’t want to win

Eguavoen should better not select an imbalanced squad vs Ghana and he must ensure that his midfield selections are intact and valid

elyte89:
Ehn ehn and so,who asked u ?

The person that birth you obviously

Emmanuel dennis has been Nigeria best player this season thus far and he should be the first name on the list vs Ghana

andrewbaba44:
I don’t understand ,is he no more playing ?

I think the Russia league just resumed and he played their last game

That’s what I thought until I checked goggle. They have been playing for the past few weeks and his been coming out from the bench

komekn:
Do you remember when Liverpool sold off their star striker to Chelsea ❓

There may be similar permutations.

Liverpool did such because Torres was just returning back from a serious injury and they thought that he was done at the top. In osimehn case, he is just 23 and still has many years at the top.

andrewbaba44:
He will be a beast under xavi and a world class player ,but unfortunately the club are not looking at him and won’t pay 80 or 100 for him

There are no guarantees

Why are Napoli trying to sell their talented asset “Osimehn” (something is off) they’re even doing a positive PR job to increase his value because his coach even compared him to Maradona

do4luv14:
the guy might be right on Victor, anyway, they should take the risk, and sign him

Osimehn is a talented young player that has the potential to become a world class striker. But, he doesn’t worth 100m based on his stats except they’re investing in him for a long run

Philosopher1979:
They should have thought osimhen this kind of movement in his football academy in Nigeria.
We cheat our kids out if many things by training them badly. We don't know that a poor boy can go anywhere onlife and so we don't take coaching serious

We need to take coaching seriously in this country. It is the bane of our football.
Coaching is very fundamental and important to football.
Ronaldo da Lima was coached by Jarzinho who played in the 1970 world cup.
I'm tired maybe I will start my football academy one day with emphast on coaching for kids under 19
Osimhen is the product of poor coaching and a failed or limited football system

Absolutely, Fundamental core coaching, Discipline, conditioning, and contentment could be one of the reasons why our players are never consistent at the Top. Our players has been surviving on their Natural talent all through their career. A player like mikel obi was a natural Gifted CAM, Mourinho converted him to a DM for 3 seasons and when mourinho was terminated, Mikel was contented as a DM instead of Hustling his way and reverting back to his original position either by departing Chelsea or improving on his weakness

andrewbaba44:
Insigne and Fabian Ruiz has sent Napoli to the top ,but Napoli players are useless .

When I say many people Dey use sentiment watch ball here I said it with my full chest

Didn’t watch the game because Barca where playing ,I am sure they won’t rant here this night

Napoli players are useless

Most of the analysts here is what we call “beer parlor” it’s only few people that I listen to their work

Etoo Salah. Weah

yinkeys:
But Osihmen got a penalty for them yesterday
What are you now saying

I’m responding to the guy that said that insiqne doesn’t pass to osimehn

Subzero47:
Guy I watch every Napoli match and know who is good and who is not, Elmas is a very poor player it is not about passing to Osimhen, Insigne is a worse culprit in not passing to Osimhen do you see me castigating him, not everybody is your fellow beer parlor analyst biko

Insigne created a chance for osimehn that he missed yesterday

ChrisKels:
When list dey drop? Anybody know?

List ke in February? We still have another 2 weeks of football before our coach can select his boys. Remember, only 23 or 28 names can be selected and the absolute best must be selected this time

nairalandankrah:
This one no be grammar matter, I'm putting it to you that If only you watched the match, you'd agree with me and Neapolitans all over the world that Victor should start looking for a serious team

Osimehn hasn’t even justified his 80 million price tag and you’re suggesting that he transfers to a bigger club? You don’t realize that big club has less patience for underperforming players? In order for Osimehn to sign for a big team, he has to prove that he is capable of scoring 20/25 goals a season and big clubs will sign him. For now, he is at his level and with the right timing/performance he will upgrade. I just get irritated when meth analyst disparage Osimehn teammates whenever results doesn’t favor Napoli. Osimehn is Hungry, Fiery, powerful, Fast, strong, presses but has shown horrible “positional awareness” and misses “easy chances”. Osimehn needs to improve on his positional awareness, converting chances, and also score 20/25 goals a season and the best clubs will sign him.

nairalandankrah:
Taaa! Waa here... You did not even watch the match

You’re telling or asking me? Can you categorically prove such remark with anecdotal evidence? Aka ‘how you sure say I nor watch the game?”

Subzero47:
Jeez these guys are bad at football, the worst is Elmas that thinks he's Messi

The problem with you biased analyst is that, you’re quick to castigate Napoli players whenever osimehn doesn’t excel at a game and exculpate him of any blame, While denigrating his teammates. Remember, if you’re making statements like “ these guys are bad at football” it also include Osimehn because he is a record signing. Whenever they lose, analyst here usually exonerate Osimehn and disparage his teammates. whenever they’re winning, analyst solely praise Osimehn

TheSuperNerd:
Spalletti is a confused man shaa....

So you admit that the team has to play to Osimhen's strengths and keep up with his speed yet you cannot bring the team to do just that with consistent sequences of plays targeted at finding Osimhen?

You say you have to cut out unnecessary short passes and dribbles whenever Osimhen is spotted ready to attack space but you cannot instruct these guys especially Politano (from previous games) and Insigne to consistently play with one mission in mind... FIND OSIMHEN.

All you have to do is feed him into Space against Barca's High line and he will do the rest. One of such was the reason Osimhen won the penalty in the first place.

Talk is cheap. Spalletti recognised they have to play for Osimhen much more but so far he hasn't been able to bring this team to do just that. Something so simple is now rocket science for this bald man.

Abeg, osimehn needs to learn positional awareness. He keeps running into offside position

Joezinho:
Lol. When people talk about nwakali here, his fans feels we hate the lad.

Just look at how none of these clubs seem impressed enough to want to keep him. He is just being passed from club to club like ashawo.

I cannot control how his club view him. But, we all watched him at the last ANC and he was impressive. He dictated his midfield, created chances and our set piece became useful. I don’t need an oyibo man to tell me how good my player is in order to value my player and not one of you knucklehead can take nwakali good performance at The ANC away from him. He is a good squad player

Danielnino00:
Faroe Islands . lol..

Something is doing the Nwakali brothers... Both showed a lot of promise at youth level but have not lived up to expectations at all..

Eguavon shouldn't call up Nwakali for the Ghana game... He shouldn't call him up at all until he start playing at his club again...
I believe Nwakali has some quality that can make our midfield creative, but his game is quite limited too.. He need to work harder... Eguavon need to send a strong message that he isn't out to pamper any player..

If he does that to nwakali then ekong shouldn’t be invited also.

charlesemeka85:
Alhassan Yusuf

Raphael onyedika

Obinna nwobodo

Frank Onyeka who was in the team but benched because of nwakali

Bonke

Dele bashiru

Etc

These ones are attacking midfielders

charlesemeka85:
Adequate replacement?

Oga you and I know that if our best midfielders both home and abroad are listed based on performance and stat nwakali won’t make the top 10 we can boast of

We all know say his inclusion to the afcon team was based on paddy paddy level nothing more nothing less

It’s not about mouth just list the available “Central Attacking Midfielders” that Eguavoen omitted for nwakali. If dem born you well, mention Any DM
