Everyone on this Board sees it, but rather look away - Sentiment. I didn't see the Match, but saw it pop up on my Notification that Awoniyi scored again.

I rushed enter here to see at least a Page littered with Awoniyi scores....

Surprisingly only you, Basco, Kog and perhaps one more Moniker celebrated him..... only to read a crass Analysis on his Weaknesses.

Sir,I want to use this opportunity to shout out to Kokmne,forgiveness and recently Zuchyblink straight forward guys when it comes to critique on a player.

.... yet they are all Outcast here. I will add Andrew and Charles to the List.

If Rohr will be the one to lead us to AFCON, then it's better to drop Onuachu for Awoniyi while Dennis replaces a Defender (preferably Omeruo).

Just want to chime in on the Awoniyi underappreciation debate.

I don't think the intent is to undermine his ability. Yes, he is unexpectedly showing excellent form and almost singlehandedly carrying a modest team in the bundesliga. That's great!

BUT he has to keep doing it and also add a bit more to his game. We were once told that putting the ball in the 'onion bag' is the currency upon which strikers are judged. I think we know now that indeed more is needed. Record breaking goal feats last season by Simy and Onuachu did not excite the top brass in Europe enough for them to cough up the modest amounts needed to secure their services.

Awoniyi has done well for himself, his goals will get him noticed. But when that spotlight from the trained eyes fall on him he will have to demonstrate his repertoire of skills rather than simply point to the goal scorers chart in a single season.

I hope he comes good.

Haa Andrew and metaljigsaw na brother o...Charles na gentlemen but sometimes he own craze na style o.

Oasis001:




You joke too much sir.

I am not emotional. I say it the way it is no matter whose ox is gored. Nigerians are too emotional that is why our leaders find it easy to rule us, just tick Our emotional box and boom you have gotten us

we are not emotional at all

we are outcastes in the midst of emotional and sentimental analyst

Kog45:
Ndidi and Onyeka no for me....even of recent my rating on Aribo and Iwobi in SE GWG has dropped...we are having serious issue in our midfield and I don't know maybe we can give real AM a chance irrespective of his club performances,just like the way Rohr gave fourth division Maduka a chance.

Ndidi and Onyeka are different players.
Just because Onyeka can slot into the DM role, doesn't make him similar to Ndidi.
They show different playing styles and preferences with the ball.

Thank you Sir,Sincerely a football enthusiast has every right to talk on player either in a positive or negative way,it is acceptable.

Taiwo Awoniyi cannot enjoy the same spotlight as Osimehn,not possible for now but the guy is doing more than scoring for his club and he has improved tremendously,hope to see him in a better club next season,maybe then people would appreciate him more.

Sir,my point is that I cannot start Ndidi and Onyeka together as a coach.

If I give u japping.... WC one b rohr

Oasis001:



It's so pathetic we are creating unnecessary Rivalry on this Thread. They are all our Players, celebrate them all if they are in form. Critique their flaws fairly and objectively.

Who is creating rivalry here if I may ask, the guy made an observation about Awoniyi's weaknesses una turn am from downplaying Awoniyi to creating rivalry, na wa for una for this thread

Kog45:

Why?

Meliforme:


Why?

Why not, have you seen Ndidi perform well with another DM or pseudo DM?

Subzero047:

Who are the DM's he didn't perform well partnering?

you got that right sir!

Meliforme:


Why?

We need more creative in the midfield than choke the midfield with two DM irrespective of their style of play....unless we want to seal up a game.....like our match against Argentina at 2018 WC,someone like Onyeka would have seal the match for us by replacing Mikel or Etebo.

Or what am I missing??

why should he replace a defender, what are Musa, Simon, Shehu, and to some degree Kalu still doing, or better still offers

oh.... I forgot,

Musa and Shehu = qouta system

Simon = Sending crosses from Naija to France for assist,

Instead of spending so much time on searching for a creative midfielder, why not just tweak the team to switch creativity from midfield..

Apart from Okocha, Nigeria has never really produced that many creative midfielders... Creative midfielders aren't really our thing...But you see the wings, that's our thing...Attacking from the flanks...It's our style..


Somebody suggested that we go the Liverpool way, and I support it... We have the players to make it work...
Aina is an attacking minded full back.. Zaidu isn't so bad going forward too..

Let's try a 4-3-3

Okoye

Aina
Akpogunma
Balogun
Zaidu


Ndidi
Onyeka
Aribo

Chukwueze
Osimhen
Ejuke



Ndidi as the DM, Onyeka as a RCM and Aribo as LCM...

It's much better than the conservative style Rohr is so in love with...

he made an observation quite alright which is right but watch same person trying to pitch awoniyi against osimehn with one of his submission and if any moniker does same observation on osimehn's weekness watch the Way people will take same Moniker as hateful and once a player isn't their favourite his success isn't a big deal to them but once their favourite does same thing every where go stew

Meliforme:

I will play the both of them simultaneously either as a DM/CM or Dm/Dm

Any good reason why you cannot? Remember how makalele and Veira partnership for France? It was successful. Maybe, we can replicate similar feat between ndidi and frank

Sir,first question,what prompted that post....a goal against Leipzig and next was pressing issue,stamina,he has not done it in a big stage,comparison with Osimehn and Haaland.I think the timing of that comment lead to reactions,nothing more....no one created the rivalry but the original post.

drDoom3:


I watch all Awoniyi games. You cannot compare his pressing to Osimhen's. They are not in the same league.

Awoniyi has poor stamina, take it to the bank. That is in fact the reason why his pressing is poor. He starts well, but gasses out quickly and can't press with the same intensity he started with. Awoniyi has never been that kind of player though, right from U17.

When I meant big stage, I meant consistently at a top level. Keeping his form until the end of the season would be a good start.

Poor Stamina. There's no bank that will accept this deposit you just brought forward. Haba!!

Large baba,you are right but do we have extra ordinary player in the midfield to cover up....pls can Aribo or Iwobi do the needful.

Subzero047:


What do you mean by downplaying? Somebody cannot make simple observation without you coming up with your downplaying nonsense, If Awoniyi has high pressing stats bring it instead of playing sentimental and accusing somebody like Awoniyi dey owe him money, We are all SE fans and everybody has a right to criticize where a player is not doing well without you jumping out with your sentimental bullsh1t

Its outright downplaying. I don't think we need a dictionary to know that.


Hope you know the boldened alone is a big big downplay even with doom3's comment?

How is he not doing well this same season that we are watching?

Chai....

Realistically, Musa Shehu and Simon will make the final List, regardless of who leads us AFCON.

My only problem with Rohr is, why inviting too much Defenders when we ain't make use of them? When was last Omeruo starts a Match for Eagles? Or even coming in as a Sub?!
