So d likes of rakitic,modric,perisic,mandzukic,etc b average players,dis team paraded d best midfielders @ d world cup,na because of our unrealistic target and hype made us think we could defeated Croatia b4 d worldcup started ,na when world cup start,our eye clear

We didn't concede any goal from open play.Croatia's 2 goals came due to our inability to defend corner kicks.

Mickael2:
No offence but you need to watch more PSG games. They do not play a 4-3-3 formation, just because Neymar is given the freedom to roam doesn't mean it is a 4-4-2, I am guessing you will also say that Barcelona is currently playing a 4-4-2 formation because of Messi's position on the pitch?

This is their line-up against FK Crvena Zvezda and Liverpool according to whoscored.

Mickael2:
Which 4-4-2? For which club? Di Maria plays in a 4-3-3 formation with Mbappe-Cavani-Neymar as the forward line. When Neymar drops deep Di Maria covers that spot. Then Verrati and whoever else gets the nod completes the midfield triangle. So how exactly is Onyekuru going to bench their midfielder? And how is Onyekuru going to bench Di Maria? See eh, if you go to PSG he has to deal with Neymar and Mbappe and he definitely will not bench either of them at all

PSG played 4-4-2 in their last 2 champions league games against Liverpool and FK Crvena Zvezda with Di Maria as RMF.

Their coach likes playing with all the talents available to him.

andrew444:
The. What is onyekuru if he is not average ?

World class ?

Onyekuru is good not average.He has the potentials to be world class but needs to leave for a higher league.

Mickael2:
Ehm Boss, Di Maria is a midfielder how will Onyekuru bench him??

Di Maria plays as a RMF in a 4-4-2, the same position and formation that Chukwueze plays for Villareal.Onyekuru is also a right-winger.

junnyjake:
Yeah, you can only say as far as you can see.

I admire the young man's work ethic, it'd take him far, but don't forget, he's just 19, this is his first professional season in the top flight.

Villarreal is not a bad club, they play good football, he's given ample opportunity to shine, he plays in the Europa League, what else??

He has gotten himself acclimatized to the environment, i'd like him to mature more there for a little while before he leaves.

And who said Chukwueze cannot be benched? We've seen Dessers despite his goal scoring abilities dropped to the bench repeatedly. So forget talk.

Turning the Ugandan game to a 1-man show? Puullease, that's not a truthful representation of what happened that day. He had a nice game, and that's just about it.

It could go either ways for him.

As a player you need to be
ambitious.
Desserts was doing well in Belgium
(backwater league) but when he
joined Utretcht in the Dutch
Eredivisie, he became an Orji
Okonkwo type of player(players that
score when they come-off from the
bench as sub but won't score when
they start).
Chukwueze was the best player in
the 1st-half.You can re-watch the
game.Most of our attacks that day
came from him and his combination
with Osimhen.They threatened and
gave the Ugandan defenders tough
time.In one occassion he nearly got
an assist but Musa was adjudged
to be off-side.After Chukwueze and
Osimhen were hurled off after first-
half, we never seemed to threaten
them again like the 1st-half, bar
Kalu.

andrew444:
Oga onyekuru is average despite my support for him I will tell you the truth

Onyekuru is an average player

Average player doesn't mean someone is a bad player .

If omeruo was good in the championship I am not sure if he will lack Epl team even if it's the bottom team

Onyekuru is 21 so give him a break and he is an Everton player ,framed out on loan due to work permit issue

Onyekuru can make Everton team ,because I don't think Bernard is better than him

Onyekuru is not average.

Like I said b4 u know little about him.

He just needs to leave Turkey and Belgium for a better league to develop.

Omeruo would have developed better if all those his loan moves were in mid-table french,Italian or Spanish league.

.

andrew444:
Go and ask world class Luis Suarez why is he yet to score in the champions league for more than a year ,if he gives you his answer I will also give you my answer seems you are trying to be sentimental

An average player can't bench di Maria oga

Julian draxler could not bench di Maria and you expect onyekuru ,na wa for you o

This shows you know little about Onyekuru.Onyekuru is not average, he is competitive ,can bounce back,hardworking, but not obedient.
He is not average.He can bench Di Maria with time.He just needs to leave all these backwater leagues to develop.

The same backwater leagues that stalled the development of Omeruo.

andrew444:
You won't see psg news about Alves vs onyekuru

Stop bringing a playing down who is getting goals okay .

You are the one who brought Onyekuru into this argument.

andrew444:
So list of player who where not given a chance at the Epl has turned to Nigeria players ?

I already know you when you ran out of point you change topic

Please show me where I tell you I will show you list of Nigeria players ?

As if more than 50 Nigeria players have graced the Epl

Stop being clueless bro

This is a Super Eagles thread so it's right to include Nigerian players.

andrew444:
Stop judging a player by a friendly game okay

Did chukwueze score on his debut ?

Your hate for onyekuru is out of this world

Onyekuru should sign for psg and sit on the bench ?

Now I can see how pointless you are,if he go psg Na you go still call am bench warmer ,a psg team that Lucas Moura was frozen out

No need to argue with you sha ,na live scores and online news you dey read

Stop hyping a player who is yet to play 20 career games

Henry onyekuru has about 40 career goals at 21

I have nothing more to say to you

40 career goals in backwater leagues with poor defensive organization.

How come he has played 8 champions league games without a goal or assist?

Onyekuru would have become one of the starters for PSG by now because their new coach like utilizing every player available to him.That would have helped his development also by playing along side Mbappe,Neymar and Cavani.

Or do you think Onyekuru can't bench Di Maria?

andrew444:
You should know the Epl better than I do

Yes no coach leave his best players on the bench ,what club will chukwueze be their best player ?why don't you allow him arrive the club before you conclude if he is their best player or not

Should I give you list of good players that was not given much chance in England and was label a flop by the media ?

The last time I checked Spanish laliga is the best league in the world ,chukwueze should remain there for one more season at least ,shebi na Arsenal him for join but he preferred Villarreal and now things are going well ,the boy is already a first teamer and one of their best player so he should continue like that to next season ,why do you want him to rush as if he is in his late 20s

If that boy go Epl and e no play well na you no go let us hear word for this thread.

He is in a better league and you want him to leave there to go to Epl ?

I need the list of Nigerian players who were not given chance in the EPL and labelled as flop.

andrew444:
Barca site praising world class alba for keeping chukwueze quiet as if he is griezman or Cr7 ,una can form thing ehnn

But psg site didn't praise Daniel Alves for keeping onyekuru quiet during the last season champions league in the group stage when onyekuru gave Alves a run for his money

Stop comparing Chukwueze with Onyekuru they are not on the same level.

While Onyekuru failed in his debut game against Corsica, Chukwueze was balling against Uganda who have kept 5 consecutive clean sheet.Onyekuru who is always known to impress within his first 10 mins on the pitch, was anonymous against Uganda.He even played on the left which makes matters worse.Even Kalu was balling against Uganda.

Onyekuru's biggest mistake remains not signing for PSG after his exploits with Eupen.

9 – Jordi Alba:
Had a lot on his plate to
try to nullify the threat of
the pacey Chukwueze,
something that prevented
him going forward. When
he did, his crosses lacked
conviction. Quiet second
half.

komekn:
Please correct me if i am wrong but from my understanding his first game was against Glasgow Rangers where he was far from impressive, he came on for about 15 minutes and didn't score and certainly did not get a MOTM.

Read again.I said the new coach's first game which was a Europa game and Chukwueze scored and won the MOTM in that game.

The game was against Spartak Moscow and the new coach's 1st game.

komekn:
Words of Wisdom.

Keeping matters in perspective he has not played one season of football yet. Far more experienced players with far greater cost have gone to bigger teams and flopped it can even almost kill your career.

If he must leave it has to be a club with genuine opportunity for him not just a big contract.

This players are professionals, if he believes he can displace a particular starter in a top club why the "wait"?

It's not a must that he must play a full season before leaving.

A player who had a Man of the Match performance for the SEs in his debut game , bossed things in the 1st 20 mins against Barca till they paid attention to him.

I could recall one Barca site praising Jordi Alba for keeping Chukwueze quiet and included that he didn't move forward because of Chukwueze and when he(Alba) moved forward his crosses were poor.

If he gets an offer from a club where he can displace the player in his position, I advice him to move.Delay can be dangerous.

andrew444:
The boy is good but I will prefer him to stay in Villarreal one more season

I don't trust Epl clubs

No coach leaves his best players on the bench.

One thing is certain he will get his chance and will seize the opportunity.

Chukwueze is a player who just needs a start to prove himself.He also takes his chances.

The better/higher the team or league the better the player and the higher the probability of a call-up.

junnyjake:
Villarreal is a good enough team for the young man, if he hastily leaves, he might just regret it.

I don't see him regretting any move.

Chukwueze is a very talented,hardworking,obedient and skillful player.

When their new coach arrived, he had some doubts about his abilities which made him start Chukwueze in his first game which was the Europa league .Chukwueze proved himself by scoring in the 11th minute and winning the 'Man of the Match' in that same game.3 days later the coach started him in their la liga game where he playef for up to 82 mins.In his debut game for the Super Eagles in Asaba he combined well with Osimhen troubling the Ugandan defence coupled with his superb taking of corner-kicks.He was the best player for the 1st-Half.He turned that particular game to a one-man show.It took him just 20mins in his debut game to write his name in Rohr's AFCON list.Can't wait for Ebuehi-Chukwueze combo on the right.It will be a delight to watch.

I'm not surprised with the current offers he is getting.



Chukwueze is not a player for the bench.He will always shine in any club he signs for.

andrew444:
Dem no dey tell mad man say war don start

No b till when you mention am before dem go say you hate the player.

U dey very funny.

andrew444:
Bro am not talking about nacho here am talking about football okay ,not everything is about nacho

I never say I hated the coach,why will I hate a coach who have been giving our players chances ,even if I do hate the coach I am better than you who hate your fellow Nigeria players for no reason

Mention the players I hate.

andrew444:
You dey find wetin no loss ,puel has given nacho so many chanced ,started him in many games and always believe in him despite nacho not delivering well ,so bro you failed this time if you are trying to use that against me .

Leicester won't make Europa league unless its man united and Arsenal/Chelsea they will drop which is not possible

Be realistic bro

The problem lies with you. He is doing well yet you still criticize him for his choice of players.

Hw are you sure he would have won those matches with Silva? A coach knows the players that suits his playing pattern better than we do.


If you are not being sentimental you won't hate a coach who has been doing well and even going as far as telling us how he won't make Europa.

andrew444:
Puel is not bad I know about that ,I am a football fan I am just angry that he bought a player for 29millon the guy had to miss the first half of the season due to clearance when he was available he played few minutes and he was frozen out ,then suddenly a namplays mendy was frozen in .

I am not God but Leicester will not make Europa league .

You are being sentimental.

U want him not to make Europa league because he doesn't play Nacho.If not why are you against him since he has been doing well currently?

andrew444:
Lol Na robinhood him be ,he beat city dash Cardiff point ,watch how he will also draw or loose against a smaller team soon .

He will not make Europa league

If I were the one that typed this you will be like"are you God? Hw do you know he won't make Europa".

U have already concluded he is going to draw or lose to the next smaller team.

Truth be told Puel is good.

andrew444:
Emem eduok 5 goals in 17 games

Onyekuru 6 goals in 16 games

Guy why you too dey lie ?

How did emem eduok got more goals than him?

They are both wingers sha before you will call emem eduok a striker another day

I just edited it.I forgot Onyekuru scored 2 goals in his last game.

Did I ever call Emem Eduok a striker?

You are taking things personal.This is new year.

Rockyrascal:
little wonder Bayern dropped their interest for him.

No one has hyped Onyekuru like I've done on this thread, but truth be told national team call-up is based on league ranking and competitiveness.

The turkish and Belgian leagues are average leagues.

Onyekuru should move for one of Europe's top 5 league to prove himself.

andrew444:
Bayern never wanted him at first ,make una stop to dey believe all those naija sport news ,na same naija site carry chukwueze market value to 40millon

No Nigeria player is Bayern standard

You are now pulling down Naija players.Hahaha.

Earthquake1:
Clueless Puel, plays 3 defensive midfielders against Everton

The same clueless man who beat Chelsea at home and Man City away from home.

Abeg make we take am easy.

andrew444:
Lol stop messing around

I said Winfred zaha has never scored 10 Epl goals and he is regarded as a great winger and onyekuru is a goal scoring winger and you guys are calling him overrated

Now tell me how did I compare them ? Did I say onyekuru is better than him or he is better than onyekuru?

When you guys have nothing to backup your arguement you will change the topic ,first it was turkey league and Belgium now it was onyekuru and Winfred zaha ,so I should not make example abi ? So making an example means I am comparing them ?

Smh for you

U mentioned him along with Onyekuru and included the goals each of them scored last season.
Is that not comparison? U compared them forgetting they play in different leagues.

I apologise if I have offended you.I will stop here.

andrew444:
Chukwueze is doing well in laliga no doubt but how does that concern onyekuru ? Is onyekuru in laliga ? Did he get any offer from laliga and he refuse to go there ? Think before you talk man don't just open your mouth and talk just because you wanna bring someone down

Rohr has his choice okay ,you are talking about Moses Simon that cannot make levante team ? Lol

Moses Simon is a levante bench warmer and he is ahead of onyekuru right ? That's says a lot

Coaches and their choice

Aymeric Laporte didn't make the French World Cup team because of the coach choice and not because he wasn't good enough ,the world knows he is a better player than kimpembe

I have read your words and I think you are a troll,continue trolling okay seems you derive joy there

No be the same you talk say I dey rate Chukwueze ahead of Onyekuru so I had to explain.

For him not to have offers from there means they don't rate him.

It's not just Rohr's choice but the level or competitive nature of their leagues.

andrew444:
And where did I compare ? Stop going of point

U compared Onyekuru with Wilfred Zaha which is football blasphemy.

andrew444:
I don tell them tire say the guy na winger

He even scored more than 20 goals a season when playing for eupen from the wings

Winfred zaha who people see as a good winger has never scored 10 Epl goals a season

The same onyekuru played 19 games last season and scored 9 goals due to injury

It's football blasphemy to compare the Belgian or Turkish league with the EPL.

andrew444:
Onyekuru hasn't play well for the eagles doesn't mean he is overrated ,you really don't know what you are saying and you are just making jest of your self .

You dare to mention chukwueze and kalu where balling well against Uganda defenders ,I never knew uganda is now a top footballing nation and Sergio Ramos and van dijk now plays for them

Why didn't chukwueze and kalu score against those Uganda defenders ?

So chukwueze is not overrated? Even thou the boy is good .some people have already rated him 40 million euros and you didn't see that as overrated ? Someone who is yet to play 20 career games

But onyekuru is not even rated such amount and you say he is overrated,he keeps on scoring goals for the past 3 seasons and you say he is overrated? Are you this clueless ?

Now you wanna use champions league to judge him ? As if his club is playing well in the champions league

For your information Luis Suarez is yet to score in the champions league since Barca 6-1 win against psg

You are just an hater who hate the truth or you are clueless .

Chukwueze is doing his thing in the Spanish LA liga, the best league in the world while Onyekuru is in Turkey.

Chukwueze has scored in the Europa league.

Athletico and Arsenal are interested in Chukwueze but Bayern have already pulled out of signing Onyekuru.

Rohr is also a hater like I am for listing Kalu,Musa,Chukwueze and Simon as his wingers without mentioning Onyekuru.

A player is rated according to the league in which he plays.

If we are to look at it your way Junior Lokosa(Lobi stars) will have more suitors than Junior Ajayi(Al Ahly) which is impossible.
