There is a difference to what people say and what they have actually done.

Dennis and Victor have done more or less the same thing.

Dennis is no our most in my form striker ,he has to be in the squad

Only an EP will say otherwise. Osimehn, Dennis, iheanacho and ighalo our 4 best strikers for now

Longneck:
If we want to continue playing with two strikers then it should be victor osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis up front


ihanaecho is a very lazy player and he should sit on the bench and come in later as a substitute


Victor osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis will pair nicely up front


with Emmanuel Dennis being the supporting striker and victor osimhen being the main man


I think both strikers can function well together because Emmanuel Dennis possess the skill set for a supporting striker and can track back anytime to help the defence


Then Moses Simon remains on the left wing while Ademola lookman plays from the right wing


Both wingers possess the skills to destroy any defence going forward and both are also good defensively


Joe aribo plays from the midfield as a 10 behind both strikers


Wilfred ndidi plays the defensive role here and he can pull it easily


We retain our centre back from the AFCON Kenneth omeruo and troost ekong


Zadiu sanusi plays the left back position and Ola aina the right back position


I feel Ademola lookman and Ola aina will link up well maybe I feel so cause they played together in Fulham


Then Francis Uzoho should be in goal he brings confidence to the team and we really need this


This formation can also be changed into a 4-5-1 formation with Emmanuel Dennis drafting into the right wing then Ademola lookman moves to the midfield and play the number 10 role




I should be the super Eagles coach

424 again? They must have swear for some of you cabu cabu analysts. In a 424 formation, all our opponents has to do is pack their midfield and allow our non crossing wingers to attack from the wing and the game is over

andrewbaba44:
Ighalo is performing and Chris is dissing him ,while jibola adebola is not performing while Chris is hailing him

Definition of no be juju be that

Nigerians have a problem with any player that’s 30 and above

Truidstar:
Lookman the victor moses replacement we have been clamoring for.

No he isnt

ChrisKels:
SiMoses and Lookman - Left Wing

Chuks and Amoo - Right Wing

Dennis - either of the two wings/centre forward.

Musa and Ejuke - Excused

Amoo an inexperienced unproven player at a backwater league to bench ejuke. You must be a YouTube mpuru miri analyst. Ewu! By the way, what’s up with Nigerians and trying to discard experienced players anytime a youngster emerges?

Tchinaidi:
What role does onyeka play in the midfield for brentford

Anyone that wasn’t impressed with nwakali cameo performance at the ANC is just being mischievous. A player that created 3 clear cut chances in the first half alone. It’s not like we have multiple options at our disposal. Unfortunately, we do not and I will rather continue using Nwakali, iwobi as AM than to invite/select an imbalanced squad aka 424. The moment that we have more attacking midfielders available, we can be arrogant

Oasis001:




Of course Amoo is a Winger, but I've read here many are saying he can play AM as well. Guess you forget they claimed Ejuke can play AM?!

Anybody that drimble (naija accent) is a playmaker

charlesemeka85:
no one is disputing that fact but his atrocities which backfired on him denied us to mk the afcon back to back

Those junks he paraded from the local scene who claim to be in their mid and early twenties then where are they today?

Keshi was just fortunate hooha!

The same allege won us our 3rd ANC and also scored vital goals something that Kanu couldn’t achieve in 6 attempts they achieved in their first attempt. Abeg, put on respek on big boss name

At the end of the day, keshi won an ANC and qualified us for the R16 on his first attempt and posterity will remember him for such. If our present coach can match or exceed such result by receiving bribes or fielding backwater league players, I will accept

Joezinho:
I have said it before and i am still gonna say it. Okoye has been used as a convenient scapegoat for our clear failure in AFCON.

Okoye is not the problem in the SE...We may not have a top GK, but he is not the reason we lost.. His point blank save on Salah being an example...

Eguavoen and his shiitty tactic failed us..

My friend you can never win tournament with top quality saves. We aren’t just blaming Okoye for not saving that routine ball but prior to Tunisia match, he hasn’t shown that he deserves that Numero uno shirt. The man is basically using super eagles to gain experience and that’s very risky. The normal protocol was to prove himself at cadet level I.e U23, and progress to the SE

TheGoodJoe:

I think Ikpeba Monaco was huge to an extent. Key player for them then. Yakubu Aiyebeni also did well for himself.

Do you guys read what I say or you just like to speak. What big club did yakubu play for or ikpeba except you’re comparing everton, monaco to Barcelona, real, Chelsea, Juventus and how consistent were they at their clubs compare to salah, mane, drogba, etoo

andrewbaba44:
Ekong is better than djiku

Salisu ahead of balogun ,not really sure about amartey

Championship ajayi is better than that Mumin guy

Performance wise no Ghanaian CB is even playing what akpoguma is playing in Europe

Abeg Na only midfield Ghana get options pass us .

CB LB RB Wingers strikers we kill those people

Even poor Maduka better pass their GK from the English league one

Even the midfield is still very arguable. Please, don’t underestimate Aribo, ndidi, Etebo, or onyeka. List Ghana midfielders let’s compare

Strikers: Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace), Richmond Boakye Yiadom (Beitar Jerusalem), Maxwell Abbey Quaye (Great Olympics), Felix Afena Gyan (AS Roma), Benjamin Tetteh (Malatyaspor)

This is the list of Ghana team forward listed at the ANC. For comparison sake, I won’t even list our starting 11 but our bench numbers and we still ha e more goals than their starting 11

Odion ighalo - 13 goals this season at Saudi league - Dede ayew 9 goals at Qatar league. On this season performance, Ighalo wins

Afeni gyan - 2 goals at Seria (big 3). David okereke 5 goals Seria A (Big 3) on this season performance, okereke wins

Paul onuachu 16 goals this season (Belgium) vs Jordan ayew (1 goal) at Epl. Paul onuachu wins

The remaining listed players that I didn’t mention aren’t comparable. Like I said, we might not get to face such an untalented Ghana team in a long time

ChrisKels:
No way Akpoguma is ranked ahead of Mumin, Salisu or Amartey

According to transfermarket our uninvited player “akpoguma” is ranked higher than all Ghana invited defenders this season

komekn:
Listed as and being the best striker are two completely different thing's.

Awoniyi has scored ,9 goals , he is not in the top 6, same follows for Dennis , surprisingly Salah despite spending time at AFCON has 16 EPL goals.

Osimhen scored 10 goals in Seria A last season 2020/1 but then he only played 24 games he was not in the top 20 goal scorers. He has played 14 games and 6 goals this season.

Osimhen is s very good striker but he is not among the best or top 10 in Seria A, he is not World class.

I think he will get to at least 15 before the end of the season.

But then I also think if Ighalo and Dennis were in Seria A they would be getting similar numbers of goals even possibly more.

Prior to osimehn injury, he was ranked by the Italian journalist as one of the best strikers in Seria A (this season). I’m waiting for the Ghana Forward numbers this season too

Please, list the present Ghana forward and their numbers this season. Like I said, on paper, our bench is even stronger than Ghana present squad that’s why our coach must be terminated on the spot if we don’t qualify or retained if we qualify. List Ghana present forward stats this season let’s compare their own and I will even list our bench players numbers

ChrisKels:
This is not entirely true. Ghana has better Centre Back options than Nigeria, they also have a better midfield combo than Nigeria. We only edge them upfront

Please, on current form, list their center backs that’s ranked or better than ours? Even our uninvited player “akpoguma” is still ranked better than Ghana present CB

Mujtahida:
His employment should be terminated just so any washed out European should come and waste our time and resources for no other reason than the color of his skin.

I've always resisted the idea of local coaches but abeg the facts show that foreign coaches have not performed better than the local guys jare.

So Eguavoen should continue, not because of shortness of time. He should continue because he deserves to be in the saddle for now. If he fails, he should be relieved of the position.

My friend, Any coach local or foreign that cannot defeat a less talented and damaged present Ghana squad with a much talented Nigerian squad should be terminated on the spot. Sorry, we might not witness such an incompetent Ghana team in a long time. This ain’t the Ghana golden generation era of Muntari, Essien or KPB it’s a team that still has Jordan Ayew as their main striker. Our bench warmer “ademola lookman” has more goals this season than Jordan ayew. If we lose to this Present Ghana team (White or black coach) he should be terminated Immediately. Losing to a less talented Tunisia 2nd 11 also deserved immediate resignation but inadequate timing

andrewbaba44:
Chukwueze wey I rate pass Vinicius now I don Dey shame

I remember when I said he is overrated by you guys at this thread ,Na almost everybody attack me ,by then osimhen never be star boy

Chukwueze wey punish Barcelona and Real Madrid 4 years ago all of a sudden don stagnant. Someone that should be playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid now and competing for La liga trophy

komekn:
When your club is not doing well you also has a player will mostly have your value go down too.

Ndidi is very good DM but that's all , he brings nothing else ,that's why no big club had come for him.

Look at the interest that Bissouma is getting that should tell you something and he is a DM.

I disagree on ndidi. Ndidi used to score screamers initially at Genk and originally at Leicester. He even won the “goal of the season” in Belgium league once. Years later, he doesn’t score screamers anymore. Last season, ndidi assisted senior man 4 times. Personally, ndidi is a much complete player than gueye playing for PSG

charlesemeka85:
currently we hv a better team than Ghana

We have a more talented and better team than Ghana but that isn’t enough. Our coach has to motivate his players, select a balanced team selection, formation, adequate substitution and mentally believe that we can defeat Ghana. It is why I said that, if we don’t qualify ahead of Ghana (this time) whoever our coach is must be Terminated. Losing to Tunisia 2nd eleven was an eye opener and unacceptable

Subzero47:
What rules?

Submitting his name at the time listed by FIFA to be submitted to teams for the event. Dennis name was submitted after the due date and his club weren’t obligated to release for those reason. The blame should be at NFF and not Dennis or Watford

komekn:
You are being ASSUMPTIVE not SUBSTANSIVE.

Since you have carried out an evaluation l presume in depth , why not do a man to man assesment.

Then it will be clear

Bro, 1 v 1 on current form, our bench is stronger than Ghana let alone our first 11. But, remember our team 1 v 1 was also much stronger than Tunisia and we still lost. The only reason I am advocating for Eguavoen to continue after that defeat vs a much weaker Tunisia is simply because of “inadequate time” aside of that, he should had been terminated. Do you know that, currently there’s a Nigerian listed among the top 5 scorers at Epl, Bundesliga and one listed as one of the best strikers in Seria A Football transcends individual names and one has to be humble.

charlesemeka85:
oliseh played for dortmund,juve and ajax,taribo for ac milan and inter, amuneke and okonowo for barca(the former played for sporting as well),tijani babaginda played for ajax,okechukwu played for fenenbahche etc

back then we had good number of players in top clubs shun na this current generation i no understand at all

I’m not just referring to mere playing but being a “consistent Global superstar” for example, According to Wikipedia, Oliseh only played 8 games and 1 season at Juventus and was done compare that to, Essien or yaya performance at Chelsea/man city. Amunike is considered as a “Joke signing” and being referred to in the Spanish media as “luis enrique tu padre es Amunike” (Luis Enrique your father is Amunike) Taribo had 1 great season at Inter Milan and was done compare that to Kuffour, (Bayern) Touré (Arsenal). The likes of fenerbache, sporting aren’t globally huge. Finidi was world class/essential at Ajax for 2 seasons and was done (he could had surpassed mane).

codemaniacs:
Osimhen is already in a big club.. Leicester city is also a big club.

When I mean big club, I am referring to Famous well known Historical and present Big teams like Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, Liverpool, Man utd, Barcelona type. We would even accept the likes of Man city, psg, ATM. The likes of napoli and Leicester aren’t big clubs they’re Midtable teams that had a “season wonder”

jihday:
I’ve always thought about this, what we have in Europe is quantity and not quality. When was the last time we have a key player for a big European club? Maybe Mikel and before then Kanu for Arsenal. At a point Cameroon had Njitap for Madrid/Chelsea, Lauren for Arsenal and Eto for Barca

Mikel was a great squad player but wasn’t as essential as an Essien or Drogba or a Global superstar for whatever reasons. Personally, I believe that Okocha was more talented than Yaya Touré but he couldn’t achieve as much as yaya on an individual or collective level.

charlesemeka85:
the problem with our players is once they secure deals abroad they feel so comfortable that they have arrived and escaped poverty as well so the hunger and eagerness to improve and become better isnt their number one priority anymore

the way chukwueze started in laliga i thought by now he will be playing for of ATM,madrid or barca

for now the only 2 that may end up in big clubs still remain osimhen and ndidi

Dennis also based on this season performance has the ability to secure a deal to the top 6 team at Epl. After all, mane was at Southampton prior to his Liverpool success

andrewbaba44:
It’s clear bro

Instead of them to Channel their blame to nff they decide to channel their blame to watford

It’s like we’re used to obvious incompetency at our country and failing to accept responsibility instead of blaming others. Can you imagine some people suggesting that Dennis (our best player at Epl this season) shouldn’t be invited to an all important WCQ game vs our arch-rival because his Fa failed to submit his name to his club at the due time?? Like, some of the things that people convey here is just blatant ignorant

How has Nigeria players been playing at big European leagues prior to the likes of Egypt, Ghana Senegal, and ivory coast and couldn’t produce consistent world class global superstar as the aforementioned countries Omo, it’s painful! Our world class players like Finidi Kanu and okocha couldn’t achieve much individual success or weren’t consistent as the aforementioned players despite being equally as talented. I hope that, the likes Osimehn, Ndidi or any emerging talent could be consistent, or become a global at a big club like the types mane, Salah, Essien, Eto’o, Yaya or drogba.

Subzero47:
Shameless club

The blame should be on the NFF for failing simple protocol. My friend, rules are rules and it has to be adhered

TFLASHOGEE:
first ask yourself what was Eguavoen target going to this afcon before taging him as an underperformer

His target was to reach the group stage or round of 16 elimination minimum

maasoap:
As seen on Facebook today and it looked like greater number of responders went with gateman in USA.
As for me, considering all factors, I prefer to be a bank manager in Nigeria. What about you? Any reason for your choice.

It depends on how much your salary will be vs your Bills
