Countries don't need impotent bang wingers . They need one Mahrez ( same guy one drunk here said isn't intelligent and Onyekuru will bench him at Mancity) to make you shed blood

Aribo for me is a battler and hard man in the midfield similar to Ndidi not the most skilful and technically gifted he reminds me of a certain Etuhu that played for Nigeria.

Onomah and Eze are technicial gifted players with Onomah the better of the two for now, who can play as AM. Also you have Ovie who can not be ignored excelled in Glasgow Rangers in a league that's not as good as the Championship by a considerable stretch.

The dark horse that is going to suprise all of you this season in my speculative opinion is Chuks Aneke now at Charlton.

Barca 5 champions league, Most valuable club

Chelsea - 1 champions league and somebody is comparing them

Do you really think he cried to his coach? His wife is his confidant and you wouldn't expect him to tell others the things he tells her.

darkelf:


Yes, I'll go with a CM first and not really an AM.

Even a competent GK and GK coach is more critical than an AM at this moment

Danielnino00:


If Rohr can allow the team play more offensively, we can thrive without an AM..Last season Liverpool had no recognised AM in the team (Wijnaldum doesn't play as an AM at all). .In fact the midfield created less chance than most EPL team midfield .The bulk of the team's goals were created by Robertson and TAA who had the licence to bomb forward at will... We have good wingers in the team but Rohr is making them do defensive duties....

Earthquake2:


How can we play offensively when none of our midfielders Ndidi, Etebo and Iwobi can hold the ball

Na only counter attack fit us with the players we have

Danielnino00:

Ndidi can hold the ball..his distribution rate is the issue . Iwobi own problem is inconsistency..

Like I said,even without an AM, we can still thrive with our wingers... Aina is a full back that's better offensively than defensively but Rohr with his conservative nature will prefer Shehu and Collins to him...
At the AFCON we don't commit many men forward when attacking... Our midfield isn't really incompetent like u think

Those guys put in a better performance at their club side than they do in the GWG..

Odunayaw:
You sef think this thing, will you risk running forward (as a defender) when you know your midfield may just give up possession before you even get to a good position to receive the ball.
Our Midfield is only good at side passes. Its a one thing to have the ball & another to not lose it when you're executing your idea.
We don't hurriedly need an AM truly, just a good CM

Danielnino00:


It's risky yes, so is playing conservative football all the time.. Against Algeria, our wingers were totally caged and the full backs couldn't offer any support .our attack was blunt. .. If we must play defensively it should be from the middle not the flanks... We have enough firepower on the flank! The midfield may be crap but not the wing bro!!

charlesemeka85:


Let's just hope the duo of onomah and aribo plays for the super super eagles so all can evaluate their performances to ascertain who is better. Onomah seem like a player whose development hv stunted while aribo is on the trajectory and already winning the hearts of rangers fans.

You may argue that the Scottish league is not as strong as the championship but if onomah was as good as you portray him here always I see no reason pochettino who loves giving youngsters a chance in spurs team won't want to take him with the team for preseason let alone given him a chance this season.

On aribo's path, I will say he is a late blommer judging by the case that at the age of 17-18 he was playing non league football, got signed by charlton and in the space of a few months was promoted to their first team. His development have been tremendous and have been one of the best players in league 2 prior to his move to Scotland.

Few weeks after joining rangers he is already turning heads in the Scottish club with a lot of positives reviews from the clubs faithfuls.

Onomah is a good talent but inconsistency have been his ban. I will even rate ovie ejaria ahead of him just that he needs to bulk up a bit.

In aribo I see an unpolished young left footed Yaya toure. He is tall, very mobile, versatile, skillful with good passing range and a goal scorer as well. Some may say I hype this kid alot but I see something special in him and I bet he will be the toast of every member of this forum once the season kicks off.

Between him ovie, Eze and onomah I think he has what it takes to succeed in African football for now more than the other trio

Danielnino00:


Is his wife the coach or fitness trainer?

The bolded is really becoming a problem in the national team..players coming to camp while carrying injuries just so they can get to play .. Ebuehi did it during the March pre world cup friendlies and it almost made him miss the world cup... Simon also did it before the world cup list were released he regretted it.. Shehu too did it during the AFCONQ against Libya..
I understand that they are being patriotic, but a fully fit player is more useful than a half fit one....

Liverpool's midfield was actually one of the worst among the top6 teams in the EPL last season but given Klopp' style of offensive football, the attackers weren't starved of the ball...

Uzoho has cut short his holiday to team up with his club in Cyprus for pre season...

At the bolded, i like that player, dickson etuhu, he had a brother that also played football right?

komekn:


That's right Kelvin he played for Man city a few games but lacked long term consistent quality and fizzled out to the lower leagues.

andrew444:


Lol

But i think dickson has a decent career

Earthquake2:


'Ndidi can hold the ball' very laughable

Liverpool play a counter attacking brand of football and most of their play come through the wing

As bland as their midfield is, Winaldium, Fabinho and Milner are ball players

In the case of the Super Eagles, Chukwueze is not a playmaker, Musa is not, the midfield of Ndidi, Etebo and Iwobi hardly complete 70% of their passes

Super Eagles best play is giving the ball to the opposition and hitting them on the counter

breezy147:


Rohr is the problem. He ought to build the team around Iwobi and mandate Iwobi to distribute. Same thing Chelsea did with Hazard.

Iwobi is the closest thing we have to a play maker. He may not be very reliable for now, but such project will help build his confidence.

komekn:


I am not an advocate of video clips as the main tool to asses players it is too easily contrived and manipulated to make players look better than they actually are. When i submit video clips i only submit 5-7 minute clips of individual games not merge 5/6 games into one clip to make you look like Neymar when you are more like Phil Neville.

Aribo is tough battling midfielder who has fought his way against all odds to get to where he is, he hant been schooled in the technical niceties of the game but he is a warrior and he is somewhat similar to Gerrard in his style of play. Now that's the pertinent phrase STYLE OF PLAY.

So i am going to put three Youtube videos of these 4 players Aribo, Eze, Onomah,
and Chuks which gives a clear indication of thier STYLE OF PLAY then you can answer the question which most suites the 9ja way or if you like historical organisation delivery ethos of the SE.

The choice is your, Akpoo, Amala, Starch or Pounded Yam

Ovie does not need to bulk up AT ALL he is deceptively strong although he doesn't really like the physical side of football he is more intelligent and technical with his football.
