Stick to objective deductions and measured proven established facts.

Tell me one Nigerian origin player from England that has played one season of first team football that I have praised to high heavens and compared to Mbappe, Ramos, Neymar, etc. Just one player not two please.

If you can not then irrational negative bias and prejudice against Nigeria origin players in the UK including myself has TOTALLY BLINDED YOU.

And you can be called a HATER.

When we talk about potential it is the clear and apparent ATTRIBUTES required for ascendancy in the game that make us say GREAT POTENTIAL.

At 16 the attributes of a striker were apparent in Balotelli, Lukaku, Zaha, Rooney, etc

I don't see them clearly and unquestionably in Osimhen. He lacks physicality, presence to replace Ighalo. He may develop but for now l don't see them and get showed NOTHING yesterday to say he has.

komekn:
That's not a problem at all.

One season doesn't make a player and l have watched him since he was 16 at Tottenham up close and personal. If he goes to Germany he will clean up less physical mire team technical and not as fast as the EPL.

He had some Injury issues and had to adapt his game to suit the Manager but waa outstanding to the end of the season. Nonetheless, it's early days his Manager has gone to Newcastle do watch this space he may end up in the EPL.

The same way Dominic Iorfa was with him Sheffield Wednesday.

But the player l am looking forward to seeing is Chuks Aneke.

Earthquake2:
How did his tactics fare him to ship in goals in the group stages and lose to Kenya despite being two goals up

If you are criticizing Rohr based on Afcon performance, you dare not mention Amunike

Earthquake2:
Awaziem played so well against Cameroon that Rohr persisted with him against South Africa

Na everything una dey complain sef

forgiveness:
I expected Rohr to bring in Aina for Awaziem instead of substituting Chukwueze.

Awaziem is good as a defender but not good as a RB. It was very glaring.

komekn:
You use the term array of top young top quality players implied.

Outside of Chukwueze who are you talking about are you comparing them to the players in the NPFL.

Or is it in comparison to the top young talents in Europe what's your unit of measurement for top talent.

Even Chukwueze l have always said we should be very cautious with him and not put too much expectation on him. He has played one season of professional football that's all. Give him time to develop he has long way to go. Because in this match his blistering pace did not work his skills did not work and his end product and service piece delivery was non existent. The Algerians studied him in depth and completely neutralised him.

Now some will say to ask that question means Hate and negative prejudice. No not all you must compare them to too the top young talent in Europe. And add the question from that perspective.

So apart from him who are our top talented exciting young players.

komekn:
When l called Awaziem the weakest link some described me as being biased and negatively prejudiced towards Nigerian born players.

How can you play wing back and have no pace, that's why he plays in Turkey.

Earthquake3:
Nwakali trains with his Arsenal teammates

Earthquake3:
I hope Jamilu Collins is fit for Egypt

Salah no go use eye see Awaziem

Dudeweedlmao:
He said he's 6'6", could be wrong though

Dudeweedlmao:
He said he's 6'6", could be wrong though

Dudeweedlmao:
Mike is 6'6'' but he looks him in the eye without pointing his face up. He's quite tall too.

Icon4s:
Komekn, you better run for your life.

You can never win any argument that you are up against Bascovanveli, TheGoodJoe and TheSuperNerd, all firing against you at the same time.
You better thank God say Safarigirl no join

komekn:
You jumped in without looking at the context in which l looked at his goal tally. Which is only goals scored in the league competition not play offs or cup games.

In that respect Osimhen scored 11 goals in the Belguim league 2018 /19.

komekn:
I rest my case ESPN is a reputable data source.

komekn:
How many goals did he score in the Belguim league a total of 11. He wasn't the best on that league and he is not in the top 5. He is not the best young striker in that league, he is still a very goo top player. But keep matters in context.

Cup games against mediocre opposition give the impression that you are a lot better than you are. So I take cognisance of league games not cup games.

This was a guy that was completely dead in the Bundesliga and now in his first competitive season in football you have turned him to Drogba.

He is not physically imposing he does not have anywhere near the strength of Ighalo or Onuachu. You are over exaggerating and taking players on is not his main strength. But his finishing is good. positioning and he has a good eye for goal.

Finally you can not rely on past youthful glories to decide a player is good enough for the SE.

ChrisKels:
U are wrong at the bolded Danny, it is not related to soccer and gender at all. This is a race, the fastest person wins. Wait oo, has Divine ever beaten Elain's personal best(timing)?

Earthquake3:
Vision - Xavi
Pass - Xavi
Combination - Xavi
Teamwork - Xavi

Goals- Zidane
Flair - Zidane

andrew444:
And we are yet to see ba ?

What will you speak of Neymar ?

Earthquake3:
Zidane was an AM, Xavi was a CM or DLP

What's your definition of complete footballer?

Earthquake3:
Ronaldinho never did those things as half as Xavi

He was a dribbling machine, but he was never a master of the field

M7even:
Outside footie, Golden State warriors lost again to raptors. Don't forget the general manager of raptors is a Nigerian

forgiveness:
There are five CBs on the list. Balogun, Ekong, Omeruo, Awaziem and Ajayi.

One of them have to be dropped and I think it is between Awaziem and Ajayi.

Moreover, I think Rohr prefers the one who can deputise for Shehu and at the same time play the other roles.

bossto:
Iheanacho and s.moses/Awaziem to be dropped

safarigirl:
oshe! Tyson Beckford, Broderick Hunter....post the pinshur first

safarigirl:
Baby'm

See fresh boy, baby boy, asampete, ezigbo nwoke.....AFCON should be ready mbok, we go pepper them with fine boys


Disclaimer: Some disgruntled elements will soon come here and be saying football is not about fine face

chrisooblog:
Well that's that the coach got what he deserved you can't plant cassava and expect to reap apples the only consolation is that they put up a fight in the second half of this game.

As far as age grade competitions go I'm very disappointed because I don't see anyone in the near future from this group of players that can be promoted to the super Eagles

OK maybe as a longshot Kingsley Michael and ofobofh could Step Up but that's about it
