Osimehn misses so many chances in a game dude needs to work on his conversion rate

TheLoneCitizen:
Messi
De Bryune
Di Maria.

Top 3 all-time playmakers.

No Zidane, ronaldinho, maradona? You must be an indomie generation foolish goat

80% of the post he has made with this new moniker has to do with Osimhen failing to score against Ghana..
The dude waged a great deal on Osimhen to score against Ghana.. Nothing nobody go tell me otherwise...
But it's becoming too much..E don turn spiritual.. Osimhen dey torment am for him sleep...

Actually, I am mad at the entire super eagles and not just one player. What they did vs Ghana just made me lose interest in football entirely. From that day, I lost interest in football since SE humiliated theirself vs a horrible team like Ghana

austineaddy:
REST!

Oloriburuku oniranu go tell your baba to rest. We’re here to talk football

humility33:
Oshimen makes goal scoring look so easy

Wetin happen against Ghana in over 180 Minutes. Bloody Ajo mmadu

Cecco90:
Na you Sabi.
Why are you still in Pains?

You dey mad ni ko ni da fu iyalaya eh. We no qualify for World Cup and you want make I dey shine my 32. Ewu nteje

Typical Osimehn always perform against small teams but when it comes to the big games I.e vs Ghana or last season vs all the big 4, he will Freeze

Not even a slugfest, when heavyweight was heavyweight, these category of boxers won't even last the second round

Fury can take any of them

Emmy450:
criminally underated, if he's a British the amount of hype he would get from the English press eh!!! Make we just forget

Underrated my nyash. Just like osimehn, he is at his level. In order to be world class at your position, you have to do more than the bare minimum. For example, ndidi is competent at winning balls, hustling, interceptions but his passing, creativity or any attacking attributes is lacking. He was part of the team that lost to Tunisia 2nd 11

oluwasunkanmi97:
Imagine there's a match between these two who would win ??

The Spanish team will beat France blue and black

TheSuperNerd:
Ndidi is no deeplying ballplaying midfielder. He is the ball winner in that midfield 3. The defensive midfield wall.

Nwakali will act deeper than Iwobi who will operate further upfield.

Simple tactical breakdown that comes with detailed functions for each.

So I guess it is your analytical radar that isn't picking up what how that midfield 3 will operate.

Nwakali ahead of Aribo. This man you must either be a Criminal or an Agent because what sane person will drop Aribo for nwakali (passing attributes or not)

TheSuperNerd:
Ntorrrrr

TheSuperNerd:
Lol...

Like Osimhen once said to me... "I see everything.."

Ghana says Hi Ewu

TheLoneCitizen:
The golden boy starts, but Hellas no lightweight.

Golden boy that couldn’t qualify his country to the World Cup against a small team like Ghana . No goals on 180 minutes vs amartey

Truidstar:
He is playing at his level.

The guy disappointed me vs Ghana couldn’t score or assist against a weak Ghana team. Infact, you’re right about him playing at his level

M7even:
This Dennis guy really get strong lucky head oo. How he managed to revive his career with a transfer last season to watford. And now this one. He even left Ismailia sarr at watford and was able to move in a deal worth 20 million.

Someone that scored 10 Epl goals last season for a moi moi team is deemed lucky for signing for another relegation team when players that, he is more talented are signing for bigger team. Why are my in the midst of people with inferior mentality

How’s Emmanuel dennis still at Watford despite scoring 10 Epl goals last season

TheSuperNerd:
Did you read what I wrote at all? I am talking AM/SS and you are talking wingers/forwards. Read!

And Ndidi-Iwobi-Aribo is yet to be tested in that exact tactical set-up even though I have already and since said before now that they should be and are our current first choice midfield 3.

But because they are the current midfield 3 doesn't mean we can't think of upgrading it. There are other quality midfield trio options we must be open to if we are to indeed get the best Midfield that indeed works and to also provide quality cover in case one or two of the regulars go missing.

Think progressive. Think Forward. Don't stay stiff.

I said that for now, the trio of ndidi, aribo and iwobi are our best 3 and if we are to try something different, they had to be better than the trio

TheSuperNerd:
Relax.

Right now, Aribo still earns his place in our starting XI. But tactically, it should be as a roaming AM/SS.

But with time, in order to further raise the quality of our middle game, a midfield tactical evolution in the GWG is inevitable. A SANE AND Forward/Progressive-thinking PERSON KNOWS THIS.

And ofcoz, both lads (Aribo & Alhassan) dont play same position.
Alhassan coming into the first XI in another Midfield Combo Option of Ndidi-Alhassan-Iwobi is NOT TO actually take Aribo's role.

Alhassan in that trio option plays deeper. It is rather Iwobi who pushes forward into the CAM role.

We have to many wingers/forwards available that aribo can’t play that position or should we select a 4321 formation. Presently, our best midfield trio are iwobi, Ndidi and Aribo anything else is false

TheSuperNerd:
Alhassan Yusuf has been playing at a high level for weeks: "The relationship in midfield is fine"

Culled from Voetbalkrant (as translated)

Frey scored again on Sunday, Balikwisha also seems to show completely why Antwerp paid so much money for him after a difficult season. But in the lee, Alhassan Yusuf is also working on a strong start to the season. The timid Nigerian also set out on Sunday against OHL at Antwerp.


Almost six full matches in less than twenty days don't seem to bother Alhassan Yusuf . The 22-year-old midfielder also trotted over the turf in the Bosuil against OH Leuven on Sunday. Very strong in recuperation, simple but neat football in possession. It is sometimes said that Antwerp will only get oldies, well: the Great Old will earn a lot from this Yusuf in the long run.


"I am in great form and the midfield is also running very well at the moment. The relationship with Nainggolan and Gerkens is fine," said Yusuf.

Birger Verstraete (Alhassan's Teammate & MF) also sees this, and has to be content with short substitutes for the time being.

"As a defensive midfielder I try to keep the game under control," Yusuf tells GVA .

"The coach makes everything much easier for me. He gives me a lot of tips about tactical discipline and how to choose position," concludes Yusuf, who is close to the Nigerian national team.


Toby Alderweireld also praised his Nigerian teammate after the match against OH Leuven.
"Alhassan reads the game well and keeps walking. He is doing great, especially with the right coaching and tactical guidelines. He has started the season very well."

He is good but no sane person will bench Aribo for him. They don’t even play the same position.

charlesemeka85:
Imagine a midfield trio of ndidi(dm) alhassan(b2b) and iwobi AM

It will be fire. Ndidi to shield the bck four, alhassan closing down opposition’s midfielders and iwobi to roam around as the link between the midfield and attach

Then flanked by simon from the left, lookman/samu from the right then osimhen as point man

Kill them all!

Remove Moses from that 11 and Aribo cannot be benched for that alhassan guy

Clint02:
Is there even a possibility that we'll see Nigeria win the world cup in our lifetime?

Due to the way that the World Cup is set, An African team can never win the World Cup

jihday:
the agenda used to be he can’t score from outside the box, now na he can’t curve ball

It’s not an agenda, but a fact. As a world class striker, you have to be performing at big and important games. Osimehn, so far doesn’t score in big games and is easily marked when competing against a pacy/strong defender. If he wants to become a world class striker, he must improve on his positional awareness, outside box shooting, and technique. He also has to be scoring against big teams. It’s unacceptable for me to boldly claim that a world class striker failed to score one goal against a shitty nonsense team like Ghana in over 180 minutes.

drDoom3:
Dortmund was never a cross and inshallah team... City is not one too.

I still maintain it, Osimhen still has a long long way to go.

Now he is on penalty duty, my target for him is 30 goals to finally prove himself as the 100 million player he is and put himself up there with the likes of Cavani and Higuain in the league of elite Naples CFs.

VERY LONG WAY. the Italian league is even a dead league that 30 goals wouldn’t mean much after all look at lukaku. 180 minutes no goal vs amartey is unforgivable for a player that some agents refer to as world class

drDoom3:
Osimhen that cannot curve a shot as an attacker is world class... lmao.

He is getting there, but he is nowhere near world class.

You’re even generous by saying above average. To me, he is average very pacy and can head a ball (that’s it) dude doesn’t score on big games and couldn’t score for 180 minutes against Ghana and worse of all, he doesn’t take corrections

TheSuperNerd:
There have been Awoniyi, Onuachu, Dessers, and even Onyekuru in Belgium. All did well there yet All are second fiddle to Osimhen.

Boniface will have to tear it up much more than Onuachu did to earn a comparison with Osimhen in any debate.

Onuachu did so in record-breaking fashion in Belgium and still cannot be counted in the same league as Osimhen.

Look, the truth remains this... Osimhen remains head and shoulders above every striker we have got. He is the Super Eagles' Number 1 ST/CF and he's not slowing down.

Moving on.

Absolutely cap. You’re just saying that because he dashed you his jersey. The same Osimehn that couldn’t score 1 single goal against Ghana in 180 minutes. He had like 4 half chances to score and missed all of them. To me, Oliseh is just fast, and can head the ball and if you find a defender with amartey qualities, you will tie him. 180 minutes against amartey no goal EWU

Ndidi has been at Leicester in the same time that, the likes of drinkwater, maguire, Kante, mahrez, chilwell has all signed for the big 4. Now, fofana is about to be signed by Chelsea and Nigerians has the effrontery to compare him to “prime Mikel” let me hear anyone make such comparisons again and they will here my tongue

mostob:
On the Ndidi and Mikel argument....
Why are we not taking into context, the number of games played and the fact that Ndidi has more goal contributions.

But...I don't like how Mikel just faded after that Olympic tournament. That was the beginning of our NT woes.

Mikel deserves a statue.... Lemme call Okorocha

There can never be an argument until Ndidi sign for a big club. NEVER. In mikel prime, he was competing for a position with the likes of makalele , ballack, Essien, lampard, ramirez who are ndidi present team mate

TheSuperNerd:
Mikel started 183 EPL games for Chelsea and came off the bench 66 times. He also sat on the bench in the EPL 42 times without being subbed in. How does that translate to him being a bench warmer? Lol

In the FA Cup for Chelsea, he started 29 games, subbed in 3 times and benched without coming in only 5 times.

I am the one having a good laugh. A good laugh at you laughing at your own ridiculousness.

And ofcos... you could not give me one Vintage game of Ndidi as a DM trumping Mikel's 120mins vs Bayern also as a DM... so naturally, your inability to do so kills any further headway in the discussion.

Ndidi and Mikel in the same sentence is absolutely insane.... it's just like putting Ndidi and Mascherano in the same sentence all because Ndidi has more goals than him as a DM. I don laugh tire.



P.S: And yes please... I have written some of the finest pieces in defence of Ndidi in the current generation but it is also becoming clear that Ndidi's ball playing deficiencies are indeed an issue. Something elite clubs take very seriously. So "all this talk of Ndidi" to an elite club is valid indeed. It is a thing of concern.



I pause, laughingly.

Oliseh only played like 15 games for juventus in one season and japa and he has the nerve to criticize mikel

Meliforme:
We are talking player abilities particular for a role, not club and competition the player features in.

And you think it is easy to have player consistently at one of the best ever clubs competing for the most important trophies for 10 years. Don’t you ever in your life insult MIKEL OBI. As good as Oliseh was, he only played for juventus for one season and was shipped out. (Oliseh didn’t had a better career than Mikel obi)
