TheSuperNerd:
Ivory Coast? Just two you can mention? Listen Andy... We are not talking better... We are talking "most inform". We are comparing who has more "most inform players" so Biko stick to the discussion and don't turn it into who is better.

And Kouame is not a winger. He is a striker/centre forward. If I want to make it about "better" Kouame will be dusted away easily.

Let me help you with CIV's list of most inform, Kouame, Sangare, Aurier, Boga, Zaha... Still way short compared to Nigeria's list.

So as you can see not even Ivory Coast boast a strong contingent of in-form players like we do. Finito.

None of our player is better than Zaha or Aurier that is a fact

safarigirl:
We are saying Nigeria has the most in form players in Africa, and someone mentioned Senegal as being better, that is how we got to Nigeria vs Senegal.

We are not saying in every position, but what we are saying is that some countries could have three to four in form players, but Nigeria can boast of up to six, without mentioning Iwobi sef.

Purely based on stats, players like Ndidi, Osimhen, Chukwueze, Moses, and even Iheanacho, are in form.

Chukwueze can be argue based on stats, how many goal and assists did he have. even Iheanacho, how many games have he started, even simon moses with 2 goals and assists.

TheSuperNerd:
Nope because in addition to Diedhiou, those are the only ones.

What is your criteria of in form

ChrisKels:
I was talking about the individual players that make up the national team, not the national team as a unit.


I must admit, Nigerian players have been better.

I can only pick Eduard, Gomis, Koulibaly, Mane, Diallo and Gueye from the Senegalese team

Because those are the popular ones

safarigirl:
Nigeria has the most in form players in Africa.

Straight FACTS

Which players are in form in Africa, mention fifteen Nigeria players starting regularly for a team in the top division of the Five top european league. Iheanacho and maja are both bench warmers. Only Ndidi in the English league, Ramon Azeez, samuel chukwueze, Omeruo and awaziem in laliga, Ola Aina and Ekong in italy, Collins in bundesliga, Osimhen and simon moses in France

Leyqute:
Klop went to Dortmund and took them to the UCL final. He then moved from a struggling Dortmund to a struggling City. 3 years later he made it to the UCL final. The next year he won it.

Mourinho moved to a struggling Inter side and won them the league for the first time in decades. Then he also took them to the UCL final and won it.

The team he left then won the league again.

This is also wrong, Inter won the league with mancini, the season before Mourinho. Also Klopp left Dortmund to Liverpool, which is a bigger club than Dortmund. As a coach, After reaching the top of your career will you want to go to a low profile club when the top clubs want you? Mourinho was available yet Madrid employ Zidane, this is to show you that Mourinho is not that much cherish by the top clubs, his success with Tottenham will determine his next club. What did Mourinho achieve with Madrid.

Leyqute:
Great? LoL.

Pep has a peculiar style of play and he can set up his team to beat opponents brutally.

However, he’s always running to teams with very good and quality players (not good o, very good. Top 4 or 2 teams). He then does some heavy shopping and becomes invincible.

Immediately that team loses its magic and the good players he meets on ground start faltering he always falls in deep shiite. That’s when he runs away.

Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Muller, Robben, Riberi, etc.

Now that KdB, Aguero, Silva aren’t operating optimally he suddenly believes and is saying that a Man Utd team with McTom, Fred, Rashford and James are better than his Mahrez, B. Silva, Sterling and Jesus.

You see why people call him a fraud?

I disagree with this, mention one top coach that after finish winning the champions league or being over successful in a small club that went to a small club immediately, Klopp coach Dortmund then move to Liverpool. Mourinho move from Porto to chelsea. Guardiola came and rebuild that barca team.

andrewbaba44:
You no go still go champions league

Even, if we didn't qualify for europe, we have beaten you. which is a satisfaction to me

Lana1:
Rashford is the only forward in world football who knows how to score the hard goals and miss the easy ones. I never see him type before.

� correct

andrewbaba44:
And u dey 5th

Even if we dey last, we don defeat you.

andrewbaba44:
Be impressed
Those average players will get you in europa league
Na arsenal be una mate

las las we defeat your team. We will enjoy the victory while it last

GloryIsaac:
His recent performances have spared him the stick

Watching the last two matches, Rashford as missed more than three clear cut chances. Which to me are unforgivable. If he can improve his final ball, he could become a beast to defenders

GloryIsaac:
Fred and Mctominay stepping up + Rashford being clinical (finally) is the major reason behind these victories.


Btw, Periera is still misbehaving, he could have easily made it 1-3 with the right positioning.

Rashford still needs to work on his final ball, he was not that superb.

Fkhalifa:
The star is in the attitude, massive energy and resiliency from the boys, running, closing down, sticking legs and bodies to everything coming their way...

Honourable mentions:
AWB...Strength and agility to stop Sterling (that's a MOTM job there)

Tominay..covers every ground
Fred...good with the ball
James....insane speed, very good attacking player
Rashford....Pressed from the front, massive energy.

The forwards have to improve on their decision making and finishing while Bissaka must improve on his passes
Mc tominay was superb, he deserves the man of the match

Ravioli:
Marcus Rashford has now scored four Premier League braces.

All four of them have come against top six opposition — Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham.

The definition of a big game player.

Rashford still need to improve,. i was not that impress with his attacking play though he is currently our best forward player along with james

nitrogen:
How come our players do well when they face big teams? Meanwhile, we need to sell all of them, and buy new ones sha, very important.

That problem is with the players and the coach, against small teams we need an energetic attacking full back that will complement the forward players.

AIG07:
Dessers is a player I'll like to see in the SEs. I don't know why Rohr/NFF have failed to look at his side. Perhaps Rohr doesn't fancy his style of football or the league he plays in.

This is a guy who has come out to pledge his full allegiance to the GWG and has been repeatedly snubbed. We prefer to go after those who see us as second choice.

He should be 24 or so now and won't be a bad option as back up to Osimhen.

from his stats, this is the only season he has pervious in the top division, the other time, he plays well was when he play in the lower division of Netherland. He will surely be invited, in the past few years, have not seen any strikers that have been banging goals, average of one goal in two games for a top division that has not receive call up to the national team

BascoVanVeli:
So you are saying he is better because he scores tap ins? Even Gabriel from CHAN will score 20 goals in that type of potent offense ok that's a joke but Victor is more than a goal scorer. He has everything. He can hold up play or run on the shoulder of the CB. He creates chances and also presses.

For me Victor Osimhen is simply the best young striker in the world.

How many Nigeria players has up to five goals in one champions league season? If he likes, he should play for a team in the lowest division in the world, once you can score high number of goals consistently, it shows, you are good unless it has been proven otherwise by not playing to expectations against top teams.

quickberry2:
He has scored goals and assisted some goals as a winger

how many assists does he have?

zuchyblink:
watch their clips and statistics and compare

Clips will only show their best not worst. Their stats are not impressive to me.

BascoVanVeli:
If he doesn't get a look it would be too bad. The lad has tried jor, he deserves it

If he continue with his form, he will surely be invited. Most of the players will clamour for are purely average players

zuchyblink:
Rhor should replace Onuachu with Dessers, replace Denis Bourneventure with Chidera ejuke and replace Mikel Agu with Eberechi eze.

What has chidera ejuke done or eberechi ejuke. both are average

elyte89:
For whom it may concern

If he continue this form, he will be call up as most Nigeria attackers are average or below average apart from Osimhen

eph12:
What are the chances of them making it elsewhere?

I see a lot of potential in Gomez why i can't see any in Chong. Gomes as good passing

SkimpleD:
Good game you say?

So, una dey take positives too?

A lot of positives, Romero will have done better than this keeper

ChristineC:
Chong and Gomez are not living up to their hype.
The CMs and RB can make it here.

Gomez only need to add on weight

Typical scummy, 29 days seniority.

Tammy - 2nd October 1997

Rashford - 31st October 1997

most of those goals are not in the premier league

OMANBALA1:
What is right is relative ? Do you live by this principle ?

Whether i live by it, does not matter.

DrKlever:
Listen to yourself. So because it's normal, that makes it right? If Awoniyi for example should score an own goal, you would still blame Nwakali and Azubuike? Is that it?

What is right is relative? Forgiveness was shouting that it was not right after an election, someone that was not chosen(but over qualify base on his pedigree) should not be included, yet every one turn against him.
