Let me say Sunday is good dribbler while Ajakaye is only pace
Deltamani:
She still need to be refined…Let’s see what she has to offer at the U20 level…

I hope this won’t be the case of another Esther Sunday…. Cause the end product (Goals and Assists) matters a lot.?

If she make a costly mistake now you come here and be saying she's trash, even in the highest level defenders clear the ball to throwing without pressure
The girl is jittery. You'll see it when we play a better team.

The best player in the team so far is Bello(7). She has the most football intelligence.

Thank you.
My best player in that team so far. Very fast, a good dribbler, a workhorse and a Keen eye for pass. By the time she fully developed, she won't be easy to handle.

How did she perform?



Amandine Miquel praises Tosin Demehin’s impressive Stade de Reims debut
Amandine Miquel has praised summer signing Tosin Demehin after an impressive Stade de Reims debut for the former Rivers Angels star.

After getting unveiled on Thursday following her arrival in France and first training on Wednesday, Demehin started and played the full 90 minutes of the Red and Whites’ 2-2 draw with Paris on Friday.

The Nigerian is still working her way to full fitness, having only arrived and trained with her new club in less than two days after helping Nigeria reach the U20 Women’s World Cup quaterfinal in August.

She made a number of blocks to contain the pouring attacks of the highflying Parisians and her new manager was left impressed by everything she saw from the young and solid defensive star.

“It was her first game for the club and she did her best,”

“Although there is a lot of to improve upon but having arrived just two days before the game it was a good first game performance. I am very impressed.”

Demehin moved to Reims on a free transfer this summer, having seen her last two-year stay at Rivers Angels to an end with a botched domestic title bid at the NWFL Super Six in Benin City. Before joining Rivers Angels, the Lagos-born defender also enjoyed stint at Sunshine Queens in the Nigerian topflight.

On Demehin’s acquisition, Miquel had last Thursday said: “Tosin is a young player who will continue to progress and learn with us. She already has many qualities such as her combativeness, her quality of passing and her intensity in duels, so many important assets for the team this season.”

Winning one Nigerian league title with Rivers Angels, with Miquel hoping that Demehin’s youthfulness, strong mentality and pedigree proves a major asset to her younger and solid Reims squad.

Having already forced a crucial away point at Paris FC, the Red and Whites are next set to pull off an upset against unbeaten Paris Saint Germain in the club’s sixth game of the French D1 Arkema campaign.

Question to ask is: what exactly did all of Sunday's dribbling get her, professionally? The top clubs of the world would rather a player with pace, who gets herself into positions where she is a danger to the opposition, than one who dribbles up and down the yazoo without an end product.
Ajakaye will, more than likely, become a bigger and more accomplished player in comparison to Sunday. She has all the attributes that the top clubs want in a player - pace, positioning, strength on and off the ball, team play and ability to score goals (which she did in the qualifiers and still has a chance to score in this tournament).
Her winning the player of the game award twice in succession bodes well for her, in spite of not scoring a single goal in this tournament.

The end product matters a lot, if you dribble up and down left and right and no goal or Assist to show for it then that’s nothing ( I will just call it an entertainment to the fans).. No Superfalcon player is as Skillful as Esther Sunday, Ordega and Esther used to fight for one spot back then in the Superfalcons Squad, Prior to 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany Coach Uche Eucharia picked Ordega ahead of Esther, and Ordega was the understudy to Stella Mbachu then..
2012 AWCON Ordega was in Russia she couldn’t come..
2014 Edwin Okon started Ordega ahead of Esther
2015 Same thing at the World Cup in Canada
2016 AWCON, Omagbemi played Ordega all through ahead of Esther…


In all the End Product matters a lot, Ajakaye is still very young and growing, I just hope she develops to her full potential unlike Esther Sunday who taught dribbling is all it takes to play football…

Another point again… Is it that her Management or Coaches didn’t speak to her Concerning her style of play or She doesn’t listen and get carried away while in the Field of play…. Cause I used to rate Esther Sunday behind Marta of Brazil in terms of Skills then..

Who ever watched Esther Sunday play from the Junior team days down to her Pro level will understand what am saying..

Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by AkinDS: 9:07pm On Oct 18, 2022
Sometimes, if that's the only strong point a player has, they tend to stick to it no matter what.
Sunday always struck me as a player who knew that without her dribbling skills, she pretty much was an average (or below average) footballer.
She couldn't tackle, pass the ball, had low off and on the ball work-rate and wasn't that much of a goal scorer.

As soon as teams and coaches found that out and were able to box her out, she became surplus to requirements. That's why she is not even on the radar for the national team and plays for a low rate club.

She no dey pass ball joor. Ordega was far better. The best winger Falcons never had was Vera Okolo, followed by Ordega. Esther is like Ikedia or udeze, too much dribble.

No Body said a player shouldn't dribble but the case is it should be fruitful, The final balls is what matters, On and off the ball movements, your defensive aspect of the game as a Forward or Winger, Esther Sunday didn't utilize her skills to full potential because i believe her Coaches at various levels must have been talking to her on that... As you have said, Vera Okolo is the best Superfalcons winger but Stella MBACHU should come in before Fransisca Ordega or you forget so soon that Stella was once one of Superfalcon best and dependable player..

Stella MBACHU is an expert in Corner kicks, Free Kicks and Penalties back then... #7

Tony Payne comes in whenever i remember Stella #7
