Anderlecht Coach Still Unhappy With Henry : His Dribbles Are Negative

Anderlecht manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck is unhappy with the contribution of Nigeria international Henry Onyekuru in the last two games in the Belgian First Division A, saying his dribbles were negative over the course of ninety minutes.

The Everton loanee is Anderlecht's top scorer in the league with seven goals from fifteen appearances.

''Henry has to stop thinking that he’s only about his goals... The sum of his dribbles must be positive after 90 minutes. Not negative, as now,'' Vanhaezebrouck stated, according to nieuwsblad.be.

''Especially if he has so much space and as little opposition as against Kortrijk, he should avoid simple ball losses.

''Yes, last week against Mouscron he scored the winning goal, but I expect more from him.''

Onyekuru has notched eight goals in all competitions for the Belgian champions, but only three were scored in front of the club's fans at the Stade Constant Vanden Stock in Brussels.

Anderlecht will host Uche Agbo's Standard Liege in the Cup on Wednesday.

Reminds me of how Mou was with Benzema in his early days...I just hope it doesn't backfire. Not every player takes this sort of approach well...

goldfish80:
I'm starting to like the this Anderletch manager. If only Jay Jay Okocha had this kind of coach in his formative years, he'd have been on the Zinedine Zidane level.

He's using the "tough love" approach on Onyekuru. It could work or it could damage his confidence.

Onyekuru can't be my No 9 - Anderlecht coach blasts -

NAIJA PLAYERS ABROAD By: Linus Onyeze | 25/11/2017

Anderlecht coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck has told Super Eagles striker Henry Onyekuru he cannot play as the top striker for the team.
Onyekuru has been suggested as an alternative to Lukasz Teodorcyzk in the No 9 role, as the Poland striker has failed to fire this season after he finished as joint top scorer with the Nigerian in the Belgian top flight last season.
But the Anderlecht coach, who has offered the Nigeria star the chance to lead the attack on a number of occasions, but says it has not worked out as Onyekuru does not have the right movement.


“No, he cannot play that (top striker) in the system with one top striker,” said Vanhaezebrouck.
“I have tried that a couple of times, but he has not been up to it.
“He does not have the right movement for that position. He thinks he can do it, but he does not know where to position himself.
“But if he plays from the flank, he could still get to the top of the attack a few times.”

This guy doesn't seem to like Onyekuru. He probably isn't impressed with his work rate or its something personal. Just last week he said Onyekuru was more focused on playing in the world cup than the team.

Napoleon55:
is it good thing for Ighalo to come back to EPL?
when u consider his fat wages and his form he has been able rediscover in China,plus he plays better for us since he went to China,i don't think he should go back to EPL,

He'll probably go on loan. No epl club will match his Chinese wages

SupremeBeast:
then kindly buzz off my mentions.

Then kindly Bleep off this thread or get blocked. Why are people being diplomatic with this charcoal ass motherfucker?? Ghana shouldn't be mentioned because it's Canaan or something??

He got bashed for his comments. It's not like he's lying though...

Kog45:
My man am not disputing his TECHNICAL ABILITY superiority but he w need to work hard to displace Ndidi and Onazi.

I hope you know how valuable is Ndidi and Onazi to Rohr.

TECHNICAL ABILITY doesn't do it alone

If you've watched J Obi well you'll know he has work rate too. Back when he was at Inter, he was compared to Edgar Davids. Continuity is the only argument I can see that'll be made for him not making the team.

Kog45:
Am not disputing his talent or saying he cannot break into super eagles but walking straight into eagles first eleven is my dispute.

He w need to work and displace Onazi or any other midfielders.

Why i say hype is too much,was telling us only INFORM Mikel can stop him.

I watched him yesterday,good before he was subbed off,based on yesterday match his first eleven is not guaranteed.

My man the present eagles of Rohr not that easy as we are seeing it and it w take a very hard working players inclusive Joel Obi to break into the squad not to say first eleven even it reached a point Iheanacho place was not guarantee in the XI.

I meant only Mikel is better than an inform Joel Obi and that's the truth. He has the work rate to go with his technical ability. He is superior to Onazi and Ndidi in terms of TECHNICAL ABILITY. That's the edge he has over both Onazi and Ndidi.

sontoly:
joel obi case is different, i wont like him to go to worldcup he is injury prone, he shld try and see how to fix his injury cases, i dont know how arjen robbin turned from injury prone to iron man, let Joel obi learn what he did.

Agreed

Mickael2:
If I say Messi will walk into our first XI it is not a disrespectful statement to anyone, it is just what it is. If Joel Obi is invited Ndidi, Etebo, Onazi, Ogu and anyother backwater midfielder we invite will have to either contest for the DMF role(i favour Ndidi here) or sit on the bench for Joel, it's so simple.


Meanwhile Joel Obi has always performed in the GWG, it isn't hype at all, just the fact.

Thank you. Joel Obi is hands down better at the CM position than either one of Ndidi or Onazi.

Kog45:
Pls give little respect to Onazi, Ogu and Etebo, truly Joel Obi is a good footballer who injuries has not help his career.

I remember Keshi gave him a call prior to WC if am correct but failed to impress.Good he is picking up but i can assured you Joel Obi w not walk straight into Eagles starting eleven.

I don't understand what you mean by in form Mikel only better Joel Obi.Let me tell you basic fact it w take a very hard working Joel Obi to bench average Mikel talk less of in form Mikel.

Pls go and watch Mikel recent games for Eagles and you w know the shoe is big for Joel Obi,no offence.

Eagles have evolved in a special way for just any player to have the confidence that he w walk in straight.Joel Obi have Onazi, Ogu first to contend with and it w not be easy.

Truly Joel Obi is good but the hype is too much,let see him again then w decide but telling us Onazi,Ogu,Etebo and others are not match is like downgrading the eagles.

We just need to give ve respect to present eagles especially the players for making us proud of the team again cos your analysis on Joel Obi look like the team is average for players like Onazi, Ogu,Etebo to make the team.

I respect them, but Joel Obi is simply more talented. I'm not downgrading anyone but truth is a fit and in form Joel Obi CAN break into our first 11.

Napoleon55:
i decided to watch his game today,unfortunately i could not watch the first half,but the second half that i watched,for about 15',his leg didn't touch ball,up till he was subbed off,he did not make any meaningful contribution,for about 5 or 6 times he tried to make contact with the ball,he fell down 3 or 4 times,then he was removed.
i didn't know about the first half,just the second half,but from the 30' i watched,that kind player is not going to do anything better than what we have.
the fact is that after Mikel,we don't have another attacking midfielder that can control the game,Joel Obi can not do the job.

i don't know the standard u want SE to attain, for me,i'm looking at the standard we can be able to compete with the best,we are talking about winning the world cup in 2022,is it all these type of players you have been mentioning every now and then that we are going use to win the world cup,or even AFCON?
it's not just any player u c playing in europe should be invited if we are serious of winning any trophy,we have gone beyond just participating in tournaments,we should b able to aim of winning not just participating,that's why it's not every player should b invited just because he is a good footballer.
u want to win a WC,u will invite a player like Joel Obi that will perform for one game,then get injured in the next game,and the rest of the tournament,n start looking 4 rplacement.

i don't know the kind of result you want to achieve with all these your players.
try to check the type of players that have won something for us in the past and c how good they were.
players in the mold of Kanu,Okocha,Finidi Olisey,Mikel,etc that's the type of players u should b clamouring for,if u can't c these type players i have mentioned,don't disturb us with all these type of players u and Komekn kept throwing at us as if they are going to win us WC if they are invited.

Joel Obi walks into our first 11 if fit. Only Mikel is better when in form. If Etebo, Ogu, Onazi, etc are making our team, then there's no way in the world a fit Joel Obi doesn't make it.

Joebie:
Some Spurs fans actually cried that they let him go.
He should not have left for Slovenia though. let me check his stats.

He's full of dribbling. Really talented from the videos I've seen of him.

Yeah its odd he didn't move to a championship or even a league 1 side.

Joebie:
I've forgotten his name. dribbles a lot. He was compared to Okocha.. will modify when I remember
I think he's moved to Slovakia or so

Modified
Nathan Oduwa? Moved to Slovenia

Yeah him. I always mix him up with Onomah. I had high hopes for him...see how he's almost fizzled out

Icon79:
I don't know what league you've been watching but Iwobi actually played a decent amount of games last season. Yes, he struggled to get games towards the ending of last season but by mid-season he was getting a decent amount of play time. As a matter of fact, [/b]it got to a stage where the British pundits were blaming him to OX being on the bench.[b]

If you have the time to search this particular thread, you'll find where we discussed that subject. I was one of the people who argued that the pundits were trying to unnecessarily blame Iwobi because he doesn't play the same position with the OX.


O pari

Yeah I remember this. Ian Wright complained of Iwobi benching him.

Abeg who knows the name of the Spurs player that played in friendlies in Siasia's Olympics team. I think he played on loan at Rangers...

forgiveness:
What role did Sone Aluko played in the 2012/2013 sesson? Anwers simple question first.

He mostly played as a SS. Only played 5 games as a CF.

Joebie:
The possibility of Aluko or any championship player for that matter getting a look in by Rohr is quite slim. Generally, the league is seen for what it is -- second tier.

I do think he deserves a look in, but not as a CF. He can't bench anyone as a CF. I don't know why Forgiveness wants to argue this...

forgiveness:
Which wing did Aluko played in 2012/2013 season? You no know but you wan argue.

What was the formation Hull city used that season and the season before?

So, you know more than Hull city, ba?

Does Sone Aluko mostly play as a CF, Yes or No?? Na simple question oga. His last game for us - did he play as a CF?? How many times has he played as a CF in his career??

forgiveness:
Oga, you claimed Aluko was not good enough hence the limited time in the EPL but I have dispelled that false misleading assertion by showing a credible source wich verified that injuries played a bigger part in his inability to performance in the EPL.

Now, you're up with another pranks despite the obvious fact stirring you at ya face.

If you don't know, then me use this avenue to inform you that Hull city played Sone Aluko behind the strike mostly in their formation. Meaning, he played as d SS or CF in most cases.Thank me later.

Are you mistaken me for someone else?? I said the excuse that Jelavic and Long were the main reason Hull "moved on" from Aluko can't be true because they are both strikers while Aluko mostly plays as a AM or on the wings.
Aluko RARELY plays as a CF - FACT!
Aluko would not get into SE 11 as a CF - FACT!
That's the point I'm making.

forgiveness:
So, you know pass the Hull City wey dey talk, abi?

Which 11? Ebuehi and Idowu never break into the first 11?

Give em the chance first before you tag a dog because u wan hang am.

Abi, you dey fear say em go dispose ya boys from the first 11?

What is Sone Aluko's main position??

forgiveness:
Who told you he was not valued?

FOOTBALL GOSSIP

Rayo Vallecano have joined the Spanish clubs chasing Sone Aluko and aim to tempt the Rangers forward with a £14,500-per-week contract. (the Sun)
...................................................................................


Sone Aluko only signed for Rangers in November of 2011, but fortunately for the former Aberdeen man, he had enough time to impress before things took a turn for the worse at Ibrox. La Liga side Rayo Vallecano were actively pursuing him later that season, but with their own financial situation taking a nosedive it would be difficult for them to renew their move. A switch to the Championship is perhaps more likely, with Charlton and Crystal Palace both thought to be interested in the pacey winger, though the three clubs promoted to the Premier League - Southampton, Reading and West Ham - could also be tempted.

...................................................................................

Do you really want to know why he did not play much in the EPL? Let us cure our ignorance.


Just after that though his first problems with his Achilles started and that basically ended his first season.

“He had recovered by the start of the following Premier League season and he scored a superb goal at Newcastle but those Achilles problems dogged him for that whole of that season.

“By the time he got back properly fit it was almost as if the club had moved on, they’d spent big money on Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic and he was out of the picture a bit

Pls, let us stop embarrassing ourselves na..

Long and Jelavic are strikers. Aluko mostly plays as a winger/AM. He rarely plays as a 9 and let's be honest, he isn't making our first 11 as one considering he can't bench Shane Long and Jelavic.

sontoly:
The way you talk as if aluko hasnt played for Nigeria before, as if we havent seen what he is capable of doing, but let me let you know that talent wise he can never bench anybody in the current squad.

You have been shouting solanke since morning cos he plays for liverpool and you forgot about jordan ibe who was even said to be better than him but where is ibe now??.

I bet you didnt watch leicester last game cos u wont be talking abt iheanacho this way, you must be a novice in the knowledge of football, you pour all your sentiments out hoping that we are all kids that will swallow everything u vomits.

For your information we have the best players that we need, if the coach decided to stretch his hands to try new leggs it wont be because of ur online rant on nairaland.

So for ur information respect d coaches decision cos i know u aint better.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. He never told you or anyone to take his as the gospel truth.

TheGoodJoe:
The point is too simple. No one is against Enquiring (not begging). It is EASIER to identify players when they declare. I Wonder why this is incomprehensible. What is pride in that?

You've just reminded me of what Keshi said when he was asked of Abiola Dauda...he said he hadn't contacted him and can go play for Serbia if he wants. That's not always the right approach. You first have to ask to find out where their allegiance lies.

forgiveness:
Solanke is a more complete player than Iheanacho. You can take that to the bank.

Iheanacho is a better finisher and has a better final ball. Solanke is more mobile, skillful and technically gifted.

Mujtahida:
I wonder why he's not good at dribbling with all the monkey post he played near Ngwa market those days.

Lmaoooo I wonder too. Has a poor touch but great final pass. Na wa for Nacho ooo

Mujtahida:
My brothers, I just watched the match again for the third time. See, I know we've hammered this issue before but forget it:this FB have added their own uniqueness to our game which is sharpness. The Nigerian guys bring the flair and African rhythm.

Iwobi's passing is deadly, very deadly.
Abeg, all those who say Iheanacho has no speed have been unfair to him. Dude has good pace. Not blistering as goodjoe would say but very good pace.

Ogu played as the LMF and brought a lot of balance in the midfield with his tackling, aerial clearances and passes. We really need Joel Obi who is left footed. Our strength lies too much on the right hand side and it's not good enough. We must develop the left side of our game.

Apart from his goals Idowu didn't add much to the attack but he shut down Pavon unlike Ebuehi who was moving back and forth with Di Maria inside his pocket. I doubt if he can keep up the energy that such hardwork requires for 90 minutes.

Finally here's a piece from the commentator after Iwobi scored the fourth goal.
Iwobiiiiiiiii, through the legs of Mascherano - what an outstanding goal that is. He's got a second and Nigeria got a fourth. What a touch of genius from the Arsenal many. Astonishing scoreline, from two goals down now it's four two. Ahmed Musa with the pass and look at this from Iwobi, nutmegging Mascherano and firing high up into the net. Outstanding individual goal

Nacho has pace but struggles to beat a man. That's what's frustrating and probably why Pep sold him. If he had a bit of dribbling, no way would he leave city. His finishing is just too clinical
