Arabiandude:
It's really gonna be organic having a strike force of Osimhen, Success and Awoniyi, not starting at once though.
With Chukwueze and Ejuke on the wings and Ndidi and Onyeka shielding our DM when playing against superior countries. I reiterate that we really need Eze and if Eze changes his mind and becomes available, he would be playing infront of Ndidi and Onyeka. Then we are good to go from midfield to attack

Most of these formations u guys drop here are pleasant to d ears but most times doesn't happen or work in reality

It could b coach sha

charlesemeka85:
can our fa pay these coaches you mentioned?

DTS y I said if we can have d money to hire Wenger like someone suggested... I would rada go for those known successful national team coaches.

But we all knw our fa is very irresponsible when it comes to dt aspect

TFLASHOGEE:
Wenger won't take our coaching job simply because of his FIFA position and I don't think Wenger is interested in coaching anymore.

If we have d money to hire Wenger..I would rada go 4 a well known successful national team coaches like Fabio capello,guys hidink etc

Napoleon55:
U think he is as good as osaze in his prime,not yet.
Osaze was really good.
We pray he suppasses him.

He was expecting me to.mention neymar.
He undermined aw good he was,maybe becos he played for us..osaze was bold and direct in his play,not minding any player in front of him,
And his end product was top notch

Same way some ppu prefers osimhen to haaland,me self prefer osaze to neymar..cos he's football business minded

Though d later is better

12large1:
The most skillful African player now and one of the best dribblers in the world. If he were Brazilian, dude would had been at madrid

He only needs to be more direct and we av another osaze in our hands

charlesemeka85:
decent, I believe with hard work he will bounce back

D number "9ine" we never had

andrewbaba44:
This amoo is not an upgrade to what we have

He is playing Mostly as a right winger for his club

I am not sure rohr will even call him up yet

Amoo can play d amf position conveniently @ least we saw dt in his last tourney

But in d senior level.. I no fit say

charlesemeka85:

Rohr shld invite dis guy and not 17year old German we havnt seen play

Kog45:
Yes he has done his best but if he want to come back no issue.

I never rate him until later but the big question do we really need him?capital NO with Osimehn doing massively well,Awoniyi giving us good performance every weekend,seeing Onuachu,Moffi doing well too and Sadiq blastering LA liga two.

Odion coming back would be a fatal mistake cos he is not better now than highly in form Osimehn and Awoniyi.

Meanwhile we shldnt mistake club form to national team form

Asyde Osimhen who is doing well for d national team as our striker,d oda options u mentioned hasn't really come to d party.. And we av huge games coming up in November,also d upcoming afcon(inevitably, we must lift d trophy),can these oda options b trusted? Or for aw long are we going to wait till dey translate deir club form into d national team form (I.e onauchu and co) and nacho who shld compliment Osimhen is not really been used as a striker in d national team set up.

Perhaps,d clamour of pinnick to bring back Iggy(an experienced striker)

charlesemeka85:
can’t wait to have a denial look man in the team but I don’t think recalling ighalo is a good idea because currently we hv a lot of young strikers doing decently well in Europe

Odion hv done well for us in the past and we should allow the man enjoy his retirement from the team

I stand with u on ighalo position...we need creative midfielders @ d moment

Even if I have d chance to recall..I would rada prefer a vicmo recall to Iggy for d rwb duties (if he's willing to cooperate)

Guys from d screenshots below

I can only deduce three things

Ndidi will be available for our next qualifying games(,70% sure)

Ademola lookman is in d bag already... D switch is about to be completed

And finally...dis would break so many ppus heart here especially chriskels

NFF is in touch with odion ighalo and he's willing to come back
Screenshots from Pinnick IG handle

Danielnino00:
That's 131 career games, 55 goals and 34 assists...
He is still a better a round player than Onuachu...

Mr all round player

Meanwhile can we use d abuja stadium come November against capeverde to avoid stories dt touches d heart

kendrick93:
Greatest African player IMO..
edges out Eto'o for me

No afcon yet for salah,so etoo still edges him out

When will our clueless coach rohr call up dis young man

Napoleon55:
Not all the time that goals can b used to judge strikers.
Kanu scored less goals than almost all our previous strikers,
but today he is still more celebreted more than d other strikers,
Ayegbeni,siasia,martins,agwahowa,etc.
All have higher career goals than kanu.

If osimhen happens to win league tittles,AFCON,World cup and some individual awards,
he would b considered to be better player than haaland even when haaland end up with higher career goals.

I rate goals by it's impacts not just numbers,
kanu n drogba don't dont have high goal stats but they score very important goals that's y they were considered better than others.

Read my comments again..dere is no point dragging dis..u want to sound reasonable, at d end confusing ursef...an unbiased reader would easily grab my point.. All dis one u re saying is not d point of discuss.

D yekini example I used is enuf to clarify everything. .as if yekini goals were not impactful

So na KANU 12goals dey more impactful Dan yekinis 37goals ..abeg rest

TheGoodJoe:

TheSuperNerd's argument is that the attributes shows Osimhen as a more complete footballer than Haaland. Despite Haaland rated highly, (to many people, Haaland is the better player) but to TheSuperNerd, Osimhen is better.

Why does TheSuperNerd feel Osimhen is better? Attributes. He went further to list attributes why HE feels Osimhen is the better player.

That is why I use the term preference.

To explain further,

I used Guardiola, Aguero, Gabriel Jesus triangle to buttress the point. I even pointed Riquelme, Ronaldinho, Pellegrini triangle.

The preference is a person feeling one is better. Due to contribution. But, in rating, the general view takes lead.

Many will not compare Mbappe and Osimhen. It is not even up for debate. But, Walter Sabatini is telling you he will pick Osimhen ahead of Mbappe. He gave his reason.

So TheSuperNerd gave his preference to why he feels Osimhen is better. That does not mean TheSuperNerd is saying that the general idea of Haaland being better is wrong.

I don't know how else to say it.

Yekini today is being celebrated as d best striker Nigeria ever had simply because of his goalscoring achievement,WC after many years ,d record is yet to be broken and not oda attributes of a striker...till today,we re still looking for dt player who will break his records and not someone who will break his defensive aspect as a player

30/35years to dis time,haaland and Osimhen would be remembered by dier goalscoring achievements and nothing more ,when d comparison talks rise again,nobody by den would remember deir defensive or oda attribute stat(oda things to b considered are d personal awards/trophies;if any 4 both players).

ChrisKels:
Chuks doesn't look like he has been away for months oo. Boy is balling big time

In thegoodjoe voice ...Emmanuel ammunike d highly tactical coach once said...dt chuks doesn't av to train b4 he performs in one of his interviews

maidaboi:

See hyping

Having preference doesn't mean better

I can as well prefer aghahowa as my no 9 to lewadonski..so e no mean

Na dt more complete we no wan hear

solonnachi:
Liberia v Nigeria November 11th World cup qualifier to be played in Tangier, Morocco.

Big sign of relief. We can now beat them silly at a neutral ground

Y morocco...taught Ghana or Cameroon is closer

ChrisKels:
No problem, but I'm not bringing him back until he changes his attitude

Abeg when chriskels become rohr

andrewbaba44:
Napoli are interesting in getting him

No b only Napoli...na Tripoli u go c

charlesemeka85:

Bro..do u av an idea where babatunde Michael is?..d guy dt played no10 position for us under keshi @ 2014 world cup?

andrewbaba44:
Salisu is back

To do what exactly

Wetin go happen to yobo ;

Shey him go turn to kit manager

Mujtahida:
I know that from the beginning it was stated but you see the real intent of you guys saying that Osimhen is the better player in every other respect apart from scoring goals is your cunning way of saying Osimhen is actually better. That is why the argument has lingered. Those on the other side of the debate see through the smokescreen.

Sure we saw it plainly ..dem think say we b primary two kids

Mujtahida:
What kind of wuru wuru - to - the- answer kind of tricks is this? We are talking about objective criteria as to who is better than the other yet you keep going on and on talking about Gaudiola's personal preference and using it to sidestep the real issue.

I've taken Joebie's hint that one should let the music play on and therefore let the matter slide but what concerns me is the intellectual cunningness of your position.
Simple case: who is better than the other not who Gaudiola prefers based on specific attributes!

No mind d thegoodjoe,d guy just dey dribble himself.. Not knowing, sense too full. Did thread...anyone guardiola prefers is his business.. E no concern us,just using dt to shift d goalpost

Any small thing guardiola..shey him na angel ?

andrewbaba44:
If Nigeria play Norway and we win them because I think we are better than them and osimhen scores and Haaland fails to score ,most of them will say debate over

Andrew...just leave d osimhen camp ppu o...as we no go gree for dem,na so dem no go free for us

Osimhen @ d moment shldnt even be compared with haaland at all...he's already in d league of lewandoski,benzema,salah,mane,lukaku and oda top marksman we have in Europe

Osimhen for now shld be compared with d likes of Haller,lautaro,onauchu,nacho etc

TheSuperNerd:
A Shocker.... Rohr and the MF dept

Meanwhile, I have something to tell you all that might shock you.

I have had information from my Rohr communicados for a good while that Ovie Ejaria's switch and passport are done and dusted (although I still harbour personal doubts and for good reasons).

Now, I questioned my direct source to Rohr on why Ejaria hasn't been invited yet then since his switch is done. He told me, "Rohr is the one delaying Ejaria call-up because the lad's switch is actually done."

Those were his words.

I was shocked. I asked myself and then asked him...

"But Rohr knows and can see that we struggle to establish Ball playing dominance in the middle game. And a lad like Ejaria has good enough qualities to come in and function either in the AM or CM role and bring some much needed ball playing qualities.. so why would Rohr be delaying that?"

I even said I know Kelechi Nwakali and Alhassan Yusuf are much better Midfield dictators than Ejaria but Ejaria himself is gifted enough and a better ball playing Midfielder than several current SE MF options so why would Rohr be delaying bringing him in seeing that we have got little time before the Afcon kicks off?

Honestly, it is a mystery.

It is either Ejaria's passport is not yet ready despite the claim that it is... or could it be someone stopping Rohr from inviting him or could it be Rohr himself playing conservative and not acting fast to address our MF ball playing deficiencies.

Time will tell.

I Don tire for Rohr matter. Ike gwuru'm

He's not serious, till dem sack am,him body go come down... Always prioritizing defence ahead of midfield.. If he can't invite 2 out of nwakali,alhassan,ejaria or amoo in his next list.. Den bro forget it,he will never invite dem again,and DT shows DT he hasn't learnt his lesson's

TheGoodJoe:
That is one funny take.

Guardiola's game relies on one hundred percent possession and it is a team of 11 midfielders. Ederson has been a big part of the team that broke English record because his passing ability played a big part in keeping possession to succeed.

So because Mendy can save shots, he is the better keeper when his shot saving is almost irrelevant when your team can control the game with possession to prevent being shot at.

Oh I c..same way ederson records 0 goals conceded @ d end of d season ?

TheSuperNerd:
3. Their Passing Types Analytics. Quite a balance here.

Note some dynamics here... Haaland edges in some, Osimhen edges in some.

Osimhen has the most Passes made while under pressure from the opposition.

Osimhen also Delivers the most passes that travel more than 40 yards of the width of the pitch. Long ball passing on point.

Haaland has more dead ball passes. I.e. Passes made from dead ball situations like freekicks, cornerkicks, kickoffs, throwins and goalkicks.

Haaland is more adept at ground passes. But Osimhen is better at low and high level passes.

Low Passes are those that leave the ground, but stay below shoulder-level.

High Passes are those that are above shoulder-level at the peak height.

Enjoy.

Same question goes to my personal man...who's better btw haaland and osimhen

No dey confuse us with low level pass,high level clearance

If u don't answer me now..I promise u DT I will disturb u with d name rohr

TheGoodJoe:
Mbappe is ten times a monster than Iheanacho in work rate. Mbappe is better than Iheanacho in skills. Mbappe is better than Iheanacho in wing play. Mbappe is better than Iheanacho in defending.

So how does saying Iheanacho is better than Mbappe in finishing chances mean he is a better player than Mbappe?

It is poor comprehension. There is nothing sophisticated about it

Oga go sleep jare...mbappe is better dan nacho in dis,nacho is a monster in dis aspect dan mbappe..keep twisting everything u hear..just been half clever...

Who's better overall...nacho or mbappe...talk now or u keep quiet till d kingdom comes

TFLASHOGEE:
no be juju be this out of all the stat na defense u see dey have left u behind

No mind d guy..baba dey clinch on d straw


Dey use defensive stats as yardstick to determine who is a more complete striker BTW d. Two players
