We should stop rating Lagos on the same Scale with New York or Dubai pls. They are not world class except we wanna fool ourselves here. How much is their market value?! What's their rates globally?!

Let's desist from taking Solace in Falsehood, even the mentioned Players know they ain't World Class.

You wanna talk World Class?! Mane, Salah, Aubameyang, Koulibaly are currently world class African Players. Kaita, Pepe, Mahrez and Co are simply above Average.

Ndidi has the potential to cross above the Lineup, if he doesn't let the hypes get to him and rather focus on his fulfilling Career.

BTW..... If I am Chuks, Osimhen, Onyekuru, Awoniyi and other upcoming Stars, I will never visit this Thread. Infact I will do everything technologically possible to block Nairaland from appearing on while google Searching for Information.

iSlayer2:
I'm gonna be blunt. I think the argument on including Awoniyi is mostly biased driven. Yeah.

Awoniyi has not had a great season by any standards. During the first half of the season he was nowhere, we feared for the boy's career. It was only during the new loan at his former loan club Mouscron that he banged in a few decisive ones here and there but still nowhere near that top level at all.

Now put him side by side with the other attackers invited. He can't compete an established striker like Ighalo Onuachu has had a great season and when eventually he was invited he put in a convincing performance. He can't even compete with Osimhen who plays in the same league. Osimhen has been a monster. Down to Iheanacho, based on pedigree, Iheanacho has it going for him. You can't invite an unproven Awoniyi who has not had a great season in place of a tested Iheanacho.

I would suggest someone else performing at a decent level be invited in place of Iheanacho. Currently. Awoniyi is not that person.

Someone that couldn't rediscover himself this whole after 39 appearances for club(excluding training) season will miraculously rediscover himself in training abi?

Humility017:


how many matches has Awoniyi played for the super eagles?
how many goals has he scored?

i thought by now we should know that club football is different
from country football...
the fact that a player scores for his club at will does not mean he will do same for
his country...the Libya match was a perfect example that shows that the Lad will need so much time to settle down
in the super eagles and that time we don't have now as afcon approaches.... we need players with major experience
when it comes to playing africa oppositions..

take it from me...if i was the coach...i will swiftly replace nacho with ajayi...
Dude play his football in egypt he understands the terrain, some of his team
mates will be playing for the egyptian come when the tourney starts, He would
have likely be he joker of the team and for awoniyi dude is not that clinical or prolific
compared to the invited strikers

forgiveness:


Yes! Iheanacho, Success, Yahaya and Nwakali are world class but Awoniyi is average.

using your argument has Junior played for the national team before that he got listed on the standby list? Your club form get you an invite and on that basis taiwo deserves it.

is like iheanacho visit this thread those time they say he's better than aguero and mbappe they also said he can bench Suarez and benzema Lol

Akpeyi is better than Ederson

Humility017:

to be honest all the Cfs invited are way ahead of him in the pecking order.
paul scored in the his first match for the super eagles against a renowned
opponent like the Egyptian.
Oshimen proved his worth against the libyans in asaba...had it been Awoniyi scored those goals
i.e the hat trick oshimen scored i doubt Rohr to have ignored his inclusion into the super eagles team
remember Okereke got an invitee for the next super eagles match against egypt from his display in that
match...that to tell you how rohr rated that Libya match...he watched the match himself.

and for nacho... rohr actually picked because of past exploits we all here know rohr does not really rate the belgian league
the time is just too short to try new players... and after all awoniyi is not that prolific compared to the invited players...

Ndidi is world class at what he does, breaking up play.... This is backed up by stats. He is the top tackler in the league, 2 seasons in a row. third in interceptions this season.

He has the most recoveries of any outfield player and the most aerials won by a midfielder in the league. What else are you looking for from a defensive point of view?

That my friends is the meaning of a world class DM... If you say, he is not world class, then he must be very close to it.

Yes, he has his weaknesses just like any player but Ndidi is world class.

darkelf:


Ndidi cannot pass. Top teams now value midfuelsers with that trait because goals win games and a good passer can create chances; defender or not

andrew444:


Where did I call iheanacho world class ? It seems you don't understand simple English

Your only World class are mikel and Ndidi

So when did I mention iheanacho and success and even nwakali ? I said all your players in eagles are average apart from those 2 so it included iheanacho and everyone else

Stop disgracing your self ,you know better .

Icon4s:


Taiwo Awoniyi never scored in any Olympics qualfiers.

That game u are referring to was an All African game qualfier. Awoniyi and Osimhen were dropped mostly because of their age and stage of development then. You can not in any imagination use that game of 2005 to call for Awoniyi's inclusion into the SE in 2019.

If we have our full compliment of players who are U23 today Awoniyi will not be in starting 11.

Person wey never know wetin him to answer you ,person dey search the internet for answers and look for a 2 sided way ,just cool down e go answer you

So anderlecht is better than Valencia of Spain also ? Lol

Sevilla also better than Liverpool ?

Arsenal also better than Liverpool

darkelf:


Iheanacho is better than C Rinaldo

Ndidi is better than fernandinho

Uzoho is better than Allison. In fact, Uzoho is world class.

Ekong is a mentor to Van Digk.

tbaba1234:
If a player like Ndidi was English or European, they will be raving about his defensive ability.

People say but he is not a great passer. I argue that he does not need to be. All he needs to do in a bigger team is keep the passes simple and give the balls to more creative players.

Put Ndidi in a team like Arsenal that do not understand how to defend and the difference could be remarkable. Makalele in the galacticos team did exactly what Ndidi is doing today.. The dirty work..

Makalele left madrid and the team fell apart. They could not defend to save their lives..
