TheSuperNerd:
I said midfielders because those attributes only apply to midfielders. And trust me, if we run that attribute test, several of our MFs will fall short. Only few will pass the test on the overall weight of having most of the attributes if not all.


Now, If I discuss wingers, defenders (CBs and FBs), GKs and strikers, other attributes not listed will be mentioned as well.

But yes, some attributes listed there for MFs can apply to other depts of the team.

Tu comprends?

Yes others can, that's y I said Simon,

it is well sha

TheSuperNerd:
Try to dey think first before you raise a point.

Is Iggy better than Osimhen? Is he better than Moffi? Those two alone merit their places and selections in attack so we have no need for, how does Chriskels put it, ABF Iggy.

Now to the midfield, can we say the exact same thing we say about our attack? Answer is no so that is why we must look beyond the top 5 leagues.

Be more deductive next time.

It should be applied to the whole team as a Rule,
If you said only the mildfielders, what now hapun,

Na wa for you ooo, you no sabi say nah Joke in response to Egypt beating Belgium with players from backwater league?
And since of of their legend play I. same Saudi with Iggy, why not Iggy nau,

Abi how you see am

TheSuperNerd:
Thanks oohh Zuchyblink. Gracias on this point.

Simple Assignment for the house:

Abeg browse and see for yourself the leagues the likes of Tarek Hamed, Mahmoud Hamada, Ahmed Tawfik, Ali Gabr, and Moh'd Hamdi ply their trades.

Yep, you guessed it. Backwater leagues.

Even Trezeguet is in Turkey.

Old war horse, Ahmed Hegazy formerly of Semi's team, West Brom is now at Al Itthad in Saudi Arabia.

But it is only in Nigeria, that we don't rate players in leagues even more decent than these lots.

Once again, Zuchy, thanks so much.

Why not, we should goan invite Iggy back, since he is scoring in backwater leagues

TheSuperNerd:
Your question is quite on the spot and I will rather choose to answer it this way...

Let the best be picked from technical and tactical points of view for the team.

When we put these parameters below together against each player, we can tell who got it and who is needed most....


- Ball-playing Nous/Ball Handling IQ
- Press resistance (Ability to dribble away from a press, Ability to dribble out of a tight spot, Ability to dribble out of a press)
- Lines breaking passing
- Progressive passing
- Vertically progressive Carries
- Tackling
- Interceptions
- Box to Box
- Late runs into the box (sometimes from deep)
- Ability to hit strikes from distance.
- Ball recycling/Recoveries
- Ability to switch plays
- Passing range
- Workrate
- Pressing
- Game reading IQ
- Set pieces IQ
- Spatial Awareness
- Vision
- Spinal/Quick/Good decision making
- General Dribbling

*Will add any more qualities I remember.

So in the light of the above listed qualities... we can answer truthfully for ourselves.

The First casualties of this point raised is M. Simon, can't dribbles out of thigh space, wayward crosses,

Had not watch his Club games, But in GWG, He had been one dimensional, It makes me miss Vicmo

TheSuperNerd:
Oghenekaro Etebo yesterday:
21 mins+ played. 23 touches. 19/20 accurate passes. 2 pass entries into the final third. 0/1 accurate long balls. 2 recoveries. 1 foul committed. 0/1 ground duels won.

And what do you have to say about this, in relation to those that started,
Do the Eagles still need him

TheSuperNerd:
Frank "The Tank" Onyeka vs Portugal yesterday:

45mins played.
32 touches.
25/28 accurate passes.
2 pass entries into Final third.
1 interception.
2 recoveries.
2 fouls committed.
0/3 ground duels won (only minus which is even unusual because he excels naturally in duels. He is "the Tank" for good reasons).



Onyeka registered more pass entries into the final third than Ndidi and Aribo combined in the game.
*Ndidi played 45 mins. Aribo played 69mins.





I have my criticism of Onyeka's game observed overtime and it still stands but truth be told he did better than Ndidi and Aribo yesterday and it won't be the first time too that he trumps both in terms of SE Performances.

Onyeka's limited ball playing is still an issue in the long run but I will rather have him in my Midfield for his box-to-box plays and vertical driving traits than a Joe Aribo whose role just has to be redefined in our Super Eagles.

Aribo is no bonafide midfielder. We have to move forward with the truth

And mind you, this ball playing deficiency is not just a midfield problem. It is also a defence problem. Ekong on the ball too is quite under average. Akpoguma is not convincing. We need good ball playing CBs who also excel in the dirty aspects (or some) of the role. CBs who are also quite mobile. We looked too rigid at the center in defensive transtions.

Drop Etebo Own for me abeg

wayodude:
You saw the game right?

Now let us know which of the goals he was at fault for.

Over to you. Thanks

This is not about fault, Of we are going to Talk about fault, Then Uzoho should not be between the sticks,

Maduka that we all are cutting to size, His Fault was not worst than Uzoho,, Yet we are trying to crucify him

Joebie:
Thanks mods for putting me in jail because of my 4-0 “prediction”.

7 things:

1. What happened to that team that flogged São Tomé ?
2. Bright Osayi performed so badly compared to Aina’s SE debut.
3. Onyeka brought his Man City A game.
4. Dennis should be our designated PK taker
5. Moses Simon should get the captains arm band
6. Etebo was so damn confident on the ball that he was spraying passes near the goal post.
7. We improved as the game wore on. We would have gotten back into the game had the PARTIAL ref not ended the game prematurely

Bonus: Peseiro is the best thing to have happened to SE since Rohr

Even me that correct you howbeit with Germany,
I was just released this morning by the Anti-spam

b

Now Joebie, bros prophhad come to pass6, Finally Portugal had won us 4 zero,

And Wonders Am Surprised nobody is saying anything about Uzoho chopping 4, And of its Maduka the Drums of Attack would had been sounding long after the match

Meliforme:
I think he has, but can't exactly recall the very instances, but Etebo featured in that position early in his career.

What made you think Moses Simon is the better pick?

Olympic Games, Nigeria Vs Japan

Blueelf:

Greyworld:
Can we forget Anambra poverty of 2010 and talk about Nigeria poverty of 2022

Thing is that There is no poverty in Anambra as Soludo stated, But same can't be said of Nigeria in General,

For a state to come out Top in Education, Even having the best WAEC Student with a blasterring Straight A's,

Soludo just Shoot himself on his foot with a boozoka,

And Obi had not only put him in his passing his Response, But, had thrown the Challenge to him,

komekn:
Prove it don't just say it .

You will have to go back almost 5/6 years or more of comments.

Without it being proven, your truth is a preferential opinion not a truth or established fact.

OK I give up, or maybe you don't understand my comment,

BTW it is well

ChrisKels:
Pathological liar. When guys in here were singing his praises when he was at Charlton, were you not the one that said he was not good enough, and that his move to Everton wasn't meritted, that instead it was an arrangee move born out of corruption within the lower football circles in the UK, that the real deal was a certain Fred Onyedimma?

Today, you are here hunting for cheap undue glories.

Of a Truth Chris, He was the first to mention Lookman here, Even calling for his invite

Danielnino00:
Bassey was subbed off at half time with a suspected injury..

I think it was the fall, straight on his Tommy from a contested Ariel duel, He was holding his Tommy and and side for up to 3mins

grandstar:
He is uninformed.

If NNPC was to follow best practices in the oil industry, the price of petrol would be sold at a deregulated price, probably hovering around N700.

The primary problem is the petrol subsidy. It's presently too high and Meole Kyari has been crying out, with the president being unresponsive.

At the very least, the government should increase the price to N450 per litrw. This would reduce the level of the subsidy and reduce pressure on the foreign reserves. It might also lead to some much needed appreciation of the Naira.

I suspect the president might want to keep the price the same, lest any increase in price leads to discontent, sending a large swathe of the electorate into the opposition arms

What a beautiful nonsense you just wrote

That would had been goal number 4 for Ajax

Omo Bassey is balling mehn, together with Ajax
