400,000 euros?are you serious about this cuz the money is huge,well Ndidi moved from Natty boys academy to Genk

Moniter0:
What I had in mind when I first came up with this formation about Iheanacho playing as a Right Winger is what actually played out when he came on. With a little time on the pitch, he was able to release Moffi which drew a foul, red card, and almost resulted to a penalty for Nigeria. Iheanacho offers a serious goal threat, and also creates chances with his well taken passes which strikers and runners like Osimhen and Moffi can actually thrive on.
Moreso, the South Africans could barely attack from his wing while he was on the pitch, so this ludicrous talk of not offering defensive cover doesn't hold water and quite implausible.

Chukwueze: There is nothing special about Williams, we will beat Bafana in 90 minutes

Nigeria and AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is confident that they will beat Bafana Bafana without going into penalties and has played down the notion that Ronwen Williams is a penalty-saving specialist.

"Penalty is a game of luck, anybody can miss. It's the one he saw that he saved," Chukwueze said.

"I'm not saying he's not a good goalkeeper, actually a good goalkeeper, but the most important thing is for us to win in 90 minutes or 120 minutes. We will win without going into penalties.

"It's not about being scared, it's about being on a safer side at the moment. We have been watching their clips, they are good on their own day but we'll try our best and win."

Who told you Onyeka is not a DM please? That is his primary position. He is just like Kante. DMs like them like to roam rather than stay rigid and hold position in the midfield.

To your last question, Yusuf doesn't have that physical presence to play as a DM. His height is another issue too.

KC I feel should not be in the team he's not match fit and is not in form. But Moffi is the unknown quantity waiting to prove many of you wrong.

If Moffi starts he should score two at least.

komekn:
I disagree the little I've seen of Moffi he has trickery,skill and yet still strong not too fast but fast enough. He will be an unknown quantity.

Right now everyone knows VO and how he plays and over prepare for him . I think with Moffi they will be a bit confused 😕 as to how to deal with he has the element of Surprise I also expect him to be HIGHLY MOTIVATED.

I don't by any stretch of the imagination think he is better than VO but he is unpredictably different. That might work to our advantage.

mostob:
Yusuf is not a DM Bros. Onyedika and Onyeka are like for like replacement.

zicky:
Bro go watch our match against GB and last minute against Angola, you see Aribo is wash. That's why many fans complained, if you are removing Onyeka the best bet is onyedika except he's injured or you want a change of formation which was not what jpes was doing. Our midfield was cease to exist in both occasion.

zicky:
As in this guy argument weak me, an inform Aribo mbok is Aribo inform now according to you since he's coming in ahead of Onyedika. EEGA

zicky:
Aribo has never had a higher workrate to Onyedika inform or no inform.

Blueelf:
That's the narrative they are trying to push

I wish the lad speedy recovery. He has worked hard for this team

However, his absence may be a blessing in disguise for us. I would start Moffi in his place

Princezibk:
Nigeria never made it past the world group stage ??

No one should take you serious here

And besides Morocco 🇲🇦 don’t have our attack ,,, You need to be factual. No one dispute them reaching the World Cup semis, and kudos to the coach who made exceptional use of what he has in his Arsenal…

Blueelf:
When it comes to attack, don't use Morocco as a yardstick. They have a blunt attack. We have far better attackers

Take this to the bank!!

Amedino99:
it's so funny you can't even use stats to prove it.

Blueelf:
World Cup semi finalist wey fail to pass round of 16

Dey play you hear

zicky:
Uncle your write up is neither here nor there, Aribo has a better work rate than Onyedika
At bold no body is saying otherwise, what we have in our bench are not poor strickers. I don't have any issue with Osimhen biko, he's a fantastic player, but what I'll not agree is you saying without Osimhen, Nigeria will lose against southy. Nigeria have good stricker to defeat southy any day

Uncle kc and Moffi can't score in this setup, how many has Osimhen scored in this setup that was made just for him. Bringing up R16 with a different coach and Uzoho abi maduka in goal to buttress your point. I'll say it again God forbid but if Osimhen can't play our next match Nigeria will not lose. You forget Moses and lookman contribute as much as Osimhen in this so called setup you keep calling. You don't even see how Bassey, aina and ekong have been key in this setup, but what you keep saying is if Osimhen don't play Nigeria will lose because he's Messi abi Ronaldo (R7 even sit on the bench for Portugal)

Uncle as I said before forget this talk, who believe before that iwobi can play this defensive. Maybe if he was not in this tournament person like you will say he can't play under this system. Moffi and kc can play under any system and even play it in a better way that you will end up preferring it to what you are seeing. The team is winning reason why I won't advocate for a change of personnel. But saying we will lose because Osimhen is not playing baba na lie.

zicky:
Uncle forget this talk, Nigeria can still win this tournament with or without Osimhen. Yes he's very important to the team but that doesn't make the other strickers less. Team work has been the back bone of this team not one player brilliance. Na southy we dy play, any of the other strickers can come and perform exceptionally well. Personally I want him in the game but saying Nigeria will lose because he's not there, uncle na lie,

Blueelf:
I am not saying he isn't an asset

But if you watch SE AFCON games without sentiments and judge all our attacking situations, Osimhen has been the weak link in most of them

It's either he is offside or he balloons the ball wide

But it is a defender (Zaidu Sanusi) that is their problem. Moses Simon who has been playing well has not gotten any recognition because he is not Osimhen

You see bro, I want to point out their hypocrisy that stinks to high heavens

Do you know benching osimhen would throw the Southies off their game plan because it will be unexpected?

Joebie:
You have made a good point. But the point I’ve been making is that you cannot be found out, but remain rigid in the run of play. Yes Peseiro has found a winning formula, but when the opponent counters, can he react? That’s left to be seen. At some point we will need someone to kill the game of Osimhen can’t. And you may also have to tweak things in the midfield. I’m not convinced about Peseiro’s match reading.

Bannedlargedx2:
The problem here is people and their sentimental biased. For example, Zaidu primary responsibility is his defensive duties and thus far, he has been solid defensively while horrible offensively and people are suggesting that, he should be replaced. Similarly, starboy primary responsibility is to score goals and while he hasn’t scored enough goals, he has provided work ethic, hustle, never say die attitude and critics has been kind. As for me, I wouldn’t drop starboy but would start replacing him earlier if he doesn’t start scoring. You cannot have potent finishers like Iheanacho, moffi on the bench without giving them a chance if your main striker isn’t scoring. In our analysis, let all of be partial

Joebie:
Osimhen is an asset to any team whether he scores or not.

But it’s okay to bench him in some situations

kennysville:
Apparently you missed my context. but here it is. Remember that before now once a team scores first against Naija, its distress football from then on. We have soldiered on for 5 games at least and thus far we can say we been good. But this isnt group stage anymore where you have a chance at redemption. I will cite 2 instances where chasing odd goal was not easy to come back from. Naija vs Tunisia in the last afcon. 2nd one is Naija vs ghana in Abuja. We saw how difficult it was for us to put in the 2nd goal. Stakes are higher now in that you get eliminated if you dont take your chances. We know no one has scored against us since, not because they havent tried to score. Complacency is all it takes and boom, the midget floors the giant. Thats when almost stories will start .... if we had, if we had.

No one has scored us yet shouldnt be a yardstick to measure how we are doing. For one, we have improved from being docile to being fighters. We cant have hurriedly forgotten how we lost.... sorry I mean drew 2 World Cup qualifier games. Thank God for injuries to certain individuals, do we think Peseiro would have changed his tactics? He found his team because situation necessitated it.


Thats the point I am raising. Please seek to understand not reply
