But you're conveniently forgetting what happened after Pep 'preferred' Gabriel over Aguero.

What does that have to do with the debate?

Because you said Pep wanted Jesus over Aguero without giving perspective as to why so. Plus your bold somehow suggests that Guardiola has always rated Gabriel over Kun.

this haaland vs Osimhen debate is becoming unecessary .
It's better u make ur point y osimhen or haaland is better and end d debate for good.

the more u drag this argument,ur subconscious will begin to interprets it that u r against Osimhen,y u r actually not.
If there is game between norway and nigeria ,u will c urself wishing haaland outscores osimhen .
i'm very sure that almost everyone in this thread love Osimhen more than haaland ,but this kind of heated argument is capable of attracting resentments toward Osimhen or haaland .

haaland is better for now.that's a fact.
osimhen can become better tomorrow.that's the truth.
There is nothing wrong in accepting that.
There is nothing wrong in accepting that osimhen has a better attributes as a footballer either.


Only time will eventually tell who is really better,that's y all these arguments is premature and unecessary .

I wonder what the pain is about.

I bet everyone here who believes Osimhen has attributes that will make a coach prefer him accepts Haaland is a higher rated striker than Osimhen.

Haaland is a higher rated striker. That is not the problem.

The problem is those feeling pained that Osimhen has qualities that can make a coach choose him over Haaland. That is where the problem is.

Which why again?

Work rate and defensive contributions. Also, Gabriel Jesus is very comfortable on the wings and can play as a winger. So he suits Guardiola's player rotational movements during play.

So Guardiola preferred him to the best foreign attacker in the history of the Premier League.

Is Aguero rated higher that Gabriel Jesus? Yes.

Did he prefer a less rated striker due to the dimensions he can bring to the team? Yes.

So what is the problem?

A Shocker.... Rohr and the MF dept

Meanwhile, I have something to tell you all that might shock you.

I have had information from my Rohr communicados for a good while that Ovie Ejaria's switch and passport are done and dusted (although I still harbour personal doubts and for good reasons).

Now, I questioned my direct source to Rohr on why Ejaria hasn't been invited yet then since his switch is done. He told me, "Rohr is the one delaying Ejaria call-up because the lad's switch is actually done."

Those were his words.

I was shocked. I asked myself and then asked him...

"But Rohr knows and can see that we struggle to establish Ball playing dominance in the middle game. And a lad like Ejaria has good enough qualities to come in and function either in the AM or CM role and bring some much needed ball playing qualities.. so why would Rohr be delaying that?"

I even said I know Kelechi Nwakali and Alhassan Yusuf are much better Midfield dictators than Ejaria but Ejaria himself is gifted enough and a better ball playing Midfielder than several current SE MF options so why would Rohr be delaying bringing him in seeing that we have got little time before the Afcon kicks off?

Honestly, it is a mystery.

It is either Ejaria's passport is not yet ready despite the claim that it is... or could it be someone stopping Rohr from inviting him or could it be Rohr himself playing conservative and not acting fast to address our MF ball playing deficiencies.

Time will tell.

I Don tire for Rohr matter. Ike gwuru'm



Rohr is really toying with our world cup chances. He makes weak team look strong when playing Nigeria. Do we need to protest to the NFF as fans for Ejaria, Lookman, Nwakali, Alhassan and Amoo to be invited again? Only God knows the true story behind Olise opting for Algeria. On paper, we have all these guys but in reality, we are still struggling to qualify. We now celebrate 2-0 win when other teams whitewash their opponents. No thanks to Rohr

Aguero at the beginning of Pep's era also lacked in this work rate and defensive contributions you are mentioning. However the arrival of Jesus made Kun improve his game to match Guardiola's expectations added to his goal scoring exploits.

Jesus on the other hand despite these positive attributes you mentioned which Pep likes hasn't pushed on.

How come Kun during this period played almost the same number of league games than the 'preferred' Gabriel?

How come despite the injury, loss of form and departure of Aguero the 'preferred' Gabriel is still finding it hard to tie down a starting Xl berth?

So you agree Guardiola signed Gabriel Jesus because Aguero despite being lethal in front of goal and one of the greatest strikers in the history of the game.

So he chose to sign a small boy due to his work rate off the ball and benched an attacking legend.

Any thing after that is devoid of the point.

If Aguero improved work rate for game time proves my point. Finito.

You also forgot to note that Aguero is way older than Jesus and could be a reason why Pep preferred a younger player. Rudi Voller preferred to take Gerald Asamoah to the world cup after 6 Bundesliga goals over those that scored more than him in the league like Martin Max and Michael Preetz who were in their 30s. A coach's preference doesn't change records or statistics.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by chrisooblog: 12:30pm On Oct 20, 2021
It doesn't prove anything. Pep didn't initially fancy Aguero he thought Jesus would fit the bill the Brazilian largely didn't. Kun till injury and loss of form was still the top dog.

Checkout this scenario What you are trying to say is like when Pep sold Ibrahimovic to allow Messi thrive further in Barcelona. Instead of leaving Barca Zlatan stayed and even surpassed Lionel in goal scoring at the nou camp. Then Zlatan leaves but Messi is trying to break into the starting XI while we say Pep preferred Messi over one of the world's deadliest strikers because of work rate and defensive contribution grin

TheSuperNerd submitted a full thesis breaking down attributes of Osimhen that can make a coach prefer him over a Goal Machine Haaland.

Yet you are posting goals. That is off the debate.
What kind of wuru wuru - to - the- answer kind of tricks is this? We are talking about objective criteria as to who is better than the other yet you keep going on and on talking about Gaudiola's personal preference and using it to sidestep the real issue.

Joe Hart was magic for us. One of the best keepers I ever saw but Guardiola dropped him because he preferred a goalie with footwork attributes.

The painful thing is not only Rohr that is incompetent but the whole bunch of NFF technical committee, Rohr assistants and the NFF presidents
The truth bro...Nigeria football is being managed by a group of blind men

I can't be a member of the technical committee and not fault that list or Rohr assistant and not advise him on how to bring more creativity to the midfield....

We're so used to blaming only the head in Nigeria, thats why some like Osibanjo is aspiring for presidency while his Boss government policy is busy messing up the country.... sometimes i wonder if this peeps dont understand that they share in the cluelessnes as well and not just the head or the man in charge
