People are forgetting that if Bayern Munich wins the league and champions league, there’s Sadio mane, if man city wins the league and champions league, there’s mahrez, if Arsenal wins the league and World Cup, there’s Partey even salah has 21 goals in all competitions this season and if Liverpool wins champions league, there’s Salah. As for Moroccans, at least 1 or 2 of them are guaranteed a place in the top 3 for their historic performance at the World Cup. You can belittle it but forget that we were humbled by ordinary bad Ghana team.. Inclusion, if Osimhen see top 3 APOY this season sef, it’s a big W to him. This is how we were hyping certain players prior to Ghana game until we were humbled

This is one of the very few komekn's post I agree with

KC nacho is very inconsistent

YOu guy's forget that his inconsistency made Rorhr drop him from the bronze winning AFCON squad

The guy has been on poor form. If you're as good, even a sentimental coach like rodgers won't have any choice but to play you

Dude is overrated because he is many people's favorite here. Same way people overrate Nwakali. This is someone who can' survive the EPL talk less of the spanish lower division where he is plying his trade. I even saw a post celebratinghim as one of the top 15 players in spanish lowerdivision. Haba!!! Have we come this low? And this is the same person some people are pushing to anchor the midfield of the super eagles

Lollll

I won't tow the path of self-deceit

There's no need to continue this conversation. . You would be wasting your time. Our people are statphobic. Anyway, we are all at the mercy of time. We will revisit this in about 10 games.

TheGoodJoe:


You guys are experts at running down Kelechi Nwakali but you can not name the midfield that can control our midfield with long balls. Stop telling us Kelechi Nwakali is terrible. Tell us who can do the job. We are waiting. Tell us who is better than Kelechi Nwakali in long ball play.

Nacho is far from being my favorite....I don't do favorites self... Either in the super eagles or Liverpool....

You keep saying Iheanacho is inconsistent,yet some players have been brought in at Leicester to displace him over the past few years. Players like Diabete, Perez, Daka and that Mahrez lookalike from Algeria... He has performed better than all of them and he helped Rodgers win the FA cup and community shield. Leicester is not a big club, so by all means, Iheanacho is performing up to the required standard...

First of all you are making the very basic skill set of "long ball" distribution as some high level unattainable skill set.

In reality it's a basic skill set not an outstanding exceptional one, players who have a far better array of skill sets resort it to it now and again not continuously. We have not descended to the leve of playing police game.

In this regard any Nigerian midfield player that is playing in the EPL, Championship and League one are better options than him .

Any Nigerian Midfielder playing in the top 10 leagues of Europe is a better option.

Consider that one of our best Midfielders in recent times Etebo plays in the Greek Super league and thats rated 20 in Europe.

The Segundo is very very low standard to use the term quality is an over statement, with regards to the Segundo division.

For a direct example I would say all the midfielders in Sheffield Wednesday in league one are better than him. For example ;

Adeshina Bakinson
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru
Dennis Adeniran

What's remarkable but not to me Fisayo is wanted by several EPL teams with AC Milan, PSV expressing an interest among other across Europe.

I watched him play for Manchester City against Liverpool FC U21 and he was the outstanding player not Harvey Elliott.

I thought you wanted us to adopt short and intricate passing and not police balls

Napoleon55:

Do u consider Pirlo,Oliseh,Okocha,and Mikel of 2005 world youth championship a police ball players

TheGoodJoe:


Please, Xavi Hernandez made the long ball an art, from your idea, Barcelona were not playing short intricate passes and were relying on police balls.

Instead of trying to make an unnecessary point, you can ask for clarification.

Yes he achieved all that but it does not take away the fact that he's not consistent. What should be taken to mind is that if he can achieve all of this despite his inconsistent showings (I concede the fact that Rogers does not give him a stretch of games) what heights of exploits would he attain if he were a bit more consistent.

And in the Super Eagles Iheanacho and Aribo are a problem as far as tactical set up is concerned.

In the art of passing games, there are times you rely on long balls. That is when you are switching play and when under a high press. With a precise pass from deep, you can create an offensive position.

What masters of deep long passes bring is turning negative positions to an offensive advantage or changing a balanced position to an offensive one.

Not just playing long balls for the sake of it.

Mujtahida:

Some players are masters of the long ball pass. Pirlo and Beckam are top examples

typicalgamer:


Hakimi for sure but individual rating osimehn wins by a wide margin.

But hakimi and World Cup run will make a great case

With regards to the bold self deception is the worst kind of deception.

First question who has been there the oldest ❓

Daka has played the same amount of games as KC this season and they are both poor as forward players with too few goals to be called quality.

Perez is gone to Real Betis he is also winger so the comparison is not relevant. Nonetheless, he has been abysmal and poor after £30 million transfer.

He has gone to Real Betis and is already getting games he was essentially bench warmer and brought in for Cup games for most of his time at Liecester City.

Diabata played his last game for Leicester in 2019 and was sold in 2020. Is he relevant to this discussion, he not an out an out striker
