That's not the point, brother.

The point is don't malign a player only when they are down.

For example, I have watched Taiwo Awoniyi about three times, he's currently one of German's top scorer, but I still think he's an average player.

Despite Moffi's dry spell, I still think he's well above average.

But on your part, I don't think you've ever criticized Onyekuru during his good times at Gala, Anderlecht or Eupen.

But now that he cannot get a goal, he's damn average.

TheLoneCitizen:


There are only three distinctions in football.

Below average. Poor
Average. Good
Above average. Excellent.

A world class player is an above average player who has performed consistently at the highest level.
An elite player is a world class player who has achieved consistent success at the highest level.

So I don't understand where you are headed, because I never said anything other than this.

the problem with you is your thinking is narrow, it doesn’t have to be black or white. He can manage expectations, he was being an optimist instead of being a realist. PS: I’m not a fan of Groundnut Rohr

Then all super eagle players are average and below average if we are to go by what you said

andrewbaba44:


Moffi is never above average abeg

chrisooblog:
I disagree a bit with how you listed your distinctions.

You can be below average but not piss poor. For instance Ekong is below average he will give you 5/10 performances but not usually horrible.

You can't be average and be considered good in football terms. Mikel was good never average for example.

Above average can never be equated to excellent. Above average is like saying that ''bros dey try sha'' while excellent is world class levels

Danielnino00:


Ndidi is above average... As a defensive midfielder, his stats are world class... The only thing stopping him from getting the recognition he deserves is that he isn't playing for a big team yet...

cromz:
Ndidi is above average,osimen too

Meliforme:


l do admire your takes, Mr Chrisoblog.

Osaze scored 15 goals as a winger when?

nelszx:
Seems from all indications, the NFF wants Rohr to continue and he'll lead the team to AFCON. Its worrisome that the NFF can't sack a coach who is underperforming really really worrisome.

Na look we dey look now, it's not only Rohr that will go after the disaster class about to happen in Cameroon. I wish the team well but I'm not expecting anything from them with Rohr in charge

elyte89:


2010/2011 season he scored 15goals as a winger

chrisooblog:
He played more as a forward for West Brom he wasn't permanently stationed on the wing just like Mane or Salah in Liverpool

lakesidepapa:


NFF can hire another coach, not now but after afcon, Regardless his team performance. Afcon is in two weeks time,sacking him now will have an effect on the performance of the team.

He should lead the team to Cameroun.

Philosopher1979:

The scandinavian leagues (sweden, norway et are the best kept secrets of Nigerian football.
Going forward, the following players are the next big thing in Nigerian football.
Time will prove me right

Ishaq Abdulrazaq: The young boy from ifk norkoping is developing into a fine footballer.
He can play as a right winger, wing back or as an attacking midfielder. He is a dani alves like player.
At only 19 he is doing well for his club and will move to the big leago a big league as early as next summer. He has allways been on the radar
of clubs since 217 but i now think he is fullfilling his potentials.

Stephen Odey: He is finally fullfilling his

Least we forget Mikel Obi first played in the Scandinavian league, he went to have a successful career. I think osaze odenwingie as well did play there too

True sometimes they cross over to good. Ndidi was consistently good for a while but he's dropped to above average.

IDENNAA:


Onyekuru is definitely above average. We know he can be a world class player if the conditions are met.

Truidstar:


Underperforming how? Which of his targets did he not meet? Rohr will win the nations cup.

IDENNAA:


I , personally, don't see these qualities you see in Ndidi. I think Ndidi is part of our problem with SE. I feel he stifles the team creativity. Has not really proved himself in GWG.
