Prefer the two Victors first off for 1st half then Awo & Orban to come in the second half. KC could feature in the Iwobi or even Ndidi sef. Would have liked Jordan and Bassey to start together but I think they are both left footed. Each fullback to play one half each.

Danielnino00:
Osimhen and Awo up front for the first 45 minutes... Boniface for Awo at half time .. Orban for Osimhen at 60 minutes... Sounds like a fair deal..

Iheanacho should sit down...

I agree with this.

Could count with the fingers of my hand the number of teachers who owned a car. VP no even get sef.

Abacha days were wild.

People were super poor in the military days. Almost every house was using wood and people started doing sawdust stove. Secondary school teachers owning cars was a rarity. I went to a public school and only Principal or VP will have a beat down 504 or Volkswagen beetle

It was during Obasanjo regime that teachers starter owning Tokunbo car starting with OPEL. That was actually the time I started seeing our teacher sef having sidechics

I don't think people are questioning Okocha's legendary status but his poor choice of words when he was commenting on the state of the NPFL.

Jay-Jay by virtue of being a former state fa chairman is a stakeholder in Nigerian football especially at the local level which bestows on him the extra responsibility to defend its interest.

The way he answered the question gives the impression he had no role to play in the current 'rot' of the NPFL whereas as Delta State football Chairman he failed to revive or improve the fortunes of players and clubs in Delta State.

Anybody can give a woke answer to chase clout but the actual hardwork of solving a problem you pointed out earns my respect.

Gambit001:
Left message and attacking the messenger. That he was a great player but a poor administrator doesn't take away his legendary status, and doesn't mean what de said was false either.

How can you prove that Collin's invitation is an emotional preference considering he hasn't played a single minute for Peseiro?

Honestly I don't see the big deal in recalling a national team squad member who has started playing club games to feature in a dead rubber match.

You would have had a stronger argument if you gave examples of decent LBs who are doing well at the moment that Jose didn't invite.

komekn:
My answer is very simple, we are not England.

And because Southgate shows emotional preference for a player we should also do the same.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 3:21pm On Sep 05, 2023
So how would you describe England's constant invitation of Maguire since their set up is professional and worthy of imitation?

komekn:
Selection by Merit not emotive preference.

He has not played for a full season and has not even played four full games in addition he has not been oustanding.

When he played overteo year's ago for the SE he was far from oustanding.

Time to look at better alternatives.

Collins was an already established SE squad member before he got injured last season. Like you I don't fancy him but it's not unheard of for countries to hand call ups to squad players once they start playing club games.

Look at Maguire for instance. He hasn't done anything remarkable in club football but he keeps getting call up ahead of other deserving defenders. Are England and Southgate saying they couldn't find a younger and better defender instead of recycling Maguire?

komekn:
That's the point did not play last season and has just played 4 games and had not completed one game of football this season.

He was not oustanding in the Championship since he arrived and now 4 game's and he is in the SE, that doesn't add up for me.

Call up must be on merit not sentiment.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 2:10pm On Sep 05, 2023
Sterling wasn't a 9 at Liverpool especially as the Reds had Suarez and Sturridge running things. It was at City you could try and argue he played in that false 9 role but I think the genius of Pep Guardiola boosted his goal scoring numbers.

Yes Rashford does well on the left. I haven't seen many games in which he has flourished playing as a 9 hence the reason why I say he struggles.

Boniface also operates as a second striker with a bit of a creative spark. You can see he has already dropped two assists in three league. Of our three top forwards he looks most comfortable on the ball. So that's where the versatility could come in but the bottom line is the current SE wingers need to do more.

The reason why England have looked more dynamic in attack lately is down to the quality that players like Raheem, Foden and Saka. England has always had great to good strikers like Shearer, Sherringham, A. Cole, Crouch, Fowler, Rooney to mention a few but the current crop of wide men has given them a serious tactical edge.


komekn:
At one stage Raheem was the pivotal number 9 for Liverpool as well as England. Rashford is very good on both wings still.avgrest number 9 ( he doesn't struggle) however I think he is more effective on the left wing.

Callum is still very good, but England have almost too many top quality forward players. And yes KANE is world class and in a different level as a quintessential number 9.

The key issue is VERSATILITY and ADAPTABILITY this is where our forward line may be a bit lacking. Three players who can only play strictly as number 9s.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 10:35am On Sep 05, 2023
Egbon o su mi! How can we have talented wingers like Simon, Chukwueze and Lookman and still struggle to get good crosses for our strikers or mazy runs that open up defenses?

Even Musa who I won't call the most technical of players was a bit consistent in wing play (though frustrating) during his prime.

Kog45:
Oga Chris I think the issue are our wingers,they have not live live up to expectations just like our midfielders but Peseiro should find a way out and use what he has to get results.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 9:59am On Sep 05, 2023
Rashford and Sterling only do well in the wings. Rashford particularly struggles in the top 9 role which every English pundit and ex-player has acknowledged. Callum Wilson I don't know how prolific he is especially in England colours for you to suggest he brings versatility in the forward line.

Osimhen, Awo and Boniface have other elements they bring to their teams like Harry Kane who doesn't necessarily operate from the wing.

Our wingers are no where as effective as Foden, Saka and sometimes Rashford who complement Kane.

Nigerian wingers need to start giving Victor Moses like output to bring more of that dynamism and unpredictability into our attack.

komekn:
Why would you compare Adebayo to Boniface, it's s like comparison of wine🍷to Champagne 🍾🥂, why ⁉️

Boniface reminds me of Wilfried Bony and Yakubu , strong powerful, good technique but not very fast and suspect stamina.

Will it work in an SE lineup with very agile, fast forward players.

One observation V.O. ,Awoniyi and Boniface are all straightforward number 9's quintessential traditional strikers. VO and Awoniyi are a lot faster than Boniface I think as well.

They are not versatile and cannot play anything beyond the number 9, position, so how will you accommodate three players who are strictly strikers?

England has Rashford, Raheem, Wilson who are quite flexible able to play anywhere on the forward line. Add to that Saka, Eberechi ( sadly) and you see adaptability and versatility within the game. If you wish to change tactics.

Iheanacho when in form has proven himself in the SE. After Osimhen he's the next striker with the most goals hence the benefit of doubt the team selectors and handlers are giving him.

That is not to say he's undroppable as Nigeria has prosecuted tournaments without him and the didn't struggle with much. I admit his position is under serious threat and will be a under pressure to show his worth especially when the WC qualifiers get under way.

Nwamazi8:
Moffi literally just scored a beauty of a goal today, it's inexcusable having Iheanacho who has been useless at championship level for Leicester over him.

Midfield is absolutely bereft of any tinge of attacking flair, all invitees are #6's and #8's, Goodluck finding that final intelligent pass to scythe open a teams packed bus defence if Iwobi isn't playing or out of form...ahead of AFCON squad, there must be a ferocious campaign by fans for the immediate inclusion of more midfielders.

Defence looks decent BUT Ekong and Ajayi weren't needed for a game like this.

Osayi in my opinion has the RB spot on lockdown for me. Aina and Ebuehi are just battling for who have will be back up.

Bannedlargedx2:
Osayi has been our best defender in the last few games

To be fair we have a major tournament coming up in 5 months time with only two international windows including this one we're entering available to assess players. So experimentation will be limited except in areas we have a pressing need. Admittedly midfield is a pressing need that needs addressing so Yusuf and Nwakali if they they keep playing consistently will I think get eventually invited if not for the qualifiers at least for the final afcon camp.

Joebie:
I agree with what you said. But I’m not critical of the list because we are testing players that DESERVE to be invited. Dead rubber, but players need to earn it. These are players pushing for a spot not players just coming for a mere formality match. I would have loved to see Yusuf and Nwakali. But they should be left to fight hard for a call up, dead rubber or not.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by chrisooblog: 7:42pm On Sep 03, 2023
If everyone plays well and leaves up to potential this is probably 90% of our squad to AFCON.

Goalkeeping position still has one spot or two sef still open.

Aina and Ebuehi to battle for second RB spot, Bruno and Collins for second LB position. Let's see how our latest CB invitee performs.

Iwobi to join midfield. Maybe room for one more.

Attack looks ok to me with a potential for one of the strikers to drop in favour of most likely Moffi if he gets back to form.



Marjoribanks:
This list shows a well thought out plan and that Paserio is fully in charge. With this list I can easily predict the 26 man AFCON list
LB: Sanusi and (Bruno/Collins).
RB: Osayi and (Aina/Ebuehi)
Injured; Ogbu, Akpoguma and Iwobi.

Midfielders: Onyeka, Onyedika, Ndidi, Aribo and Iwobi will be the AFCON five man midfield!
