Mujtahida:

Sadiq Umar? Haa wahala dey oo. So people still advocating for Sadiq?

Sadiq umar is very intelligent…But his body fails him most times and he hardly scores …like I said earlier in my post ….even if our team is playing bad, Sadiq will create dt chance for himself from no where ..I respect him for dt
Had it been he converts most of his chances ,we won’t even b discussing who shld pair osimhen upfront

But he’s just dt hypertensive style of a player dt can kill d fans with d way he misses chances upon chances

Go and watch sadiq most games in eagles shirt..he’s not d boring striker dt won’t give u something to say..it’s eida u curse him or praise him.. d former happens most times.

Look at d match against Tunisia 🇹🇳, d moment he was on d pitch..look at d chances he created and wasted ,he could av won d match for us had it been otherwise.

forgiveness:


Boniface is not better than Awoniyi for now no matter how you try to sugarcoat it. Leave epistle for Wole Soyinka.


Make una dey deceive unaself

He is not better,but he offers something different with his play of style .I would rada pair both together(boniface/awoniyi) or osimhen/boniface) not (awoniyi/osimhen)..d last pairing didn’t work.

Meanwhile barring any last minute injury,taiwo awoniyi going to d nations cup is as sure as osimhen going too.

TheSuperNerd:


It is welcome. If you can add yours, do but I only mentioned these based on who don play under Jpes.

All the same, another pick has been made. Forgiveness ooo... Come pick naa. Habamana

Umar sadique kind of striker will create chances upon chances but his conversion rate is almost zero,u will always feel his impact whenever he’s on pitch cos he is always positioning himself in situation dt might lead to goal but won’t end up scoring most times hence d reason for d frustration he creates to d fans watching..nobody is close to sadiq when it comes to creating chances in eagles 🦅,not even osimhen

TheSuperNerd:
Okay, Forgiveness and the rest of the house... kindly answer this honestly and to the best of y'all ball knowledge.

Based on player profiles and personnel synergy, who among these CF options look the best to pair Osimhen up top? Take into account the various tactical variations and their contributions to the 2nd phase plays.

- Kelechi Iheanacho
- Taiwo Awoniyi
- Victor Boniface
- Sadiq Umar
- Terem Moffi


Note: I don't even expect the same answers coz ball knowledge levels differ and perspectives on why some pick A or B would sound legit.

I will go for boniface / Sadiq umar …but if a fit isaac success is among ur list ,I would av yanked off umar and put success instead 🙂

One thing dt is giving me d respite about dis team is against African sides most especially d ones we are obviously better Dan, jp team plays possessive and creates loads of chances ,so let c aw it goes in afcon 😎

elunico:


The last time we had a defense like that was at the WC. The oyinbo wall really protected Uzoho then.

I don’t knw y dis coach is not looking at balogun …balogun is still useful for eagles 🦅

Marjoribanks:
I don't really understand Moffi. At Nice, world class. At National team, he looks like an amateur! First 4 minutes the keeper cleared the ball to you in the 18 yard box, a professional striker will control, touch and either shoot or pass to a free Aribo. Instead Moffi controlled the ball and reverse back to shoot like an amateur. 😒 We call it "Yidi" in Yoruba. You are not even allowed to do that at the lowest level of amateur football not to talk of a striker playing at the top level. Moffi and Sadiq should just go and rest. Let Paserio invite Tella to challenge Chukwueze. An attack of Osimhen, Awo, Iheanacho and Boniface is good enough.

Are u sure it was moffi ….I tot it was aribo o

MetalJigsaw:
The one reason JP is our coach is his skin colour

Sincerely,he has nothing upstairs ,I hope he proves us wrong in the coming afcon…he is as dangerous as uzoho to cause an impediment against our ambition to lift d tournament.

Marjoribanks:
Playing Sadiq and Moffi unbalanced the team. Even we are struggling playing against 10 men with this formation. You need an Iwobi/Boniface in that role. Is this coach blind?

He’s d best coach na 😀😀😀,person wey dem
Suppose use blow pursue commot for d job

Na only goal kick uzoho sabi save 😀😀😀😀,anything going to post like dis ,na goal😀

TheSuperNerd:
Guys. We truly don't have time again. The time to properly fix our GK issues is long gone. We are stuck with Francis Uzoho ahead of the Afcon barring injury.

If d coach is serious ,he shouldn’t bother taking uzoho to afcon except his club situation has changed and his confidence level his high

At dis point, I don’t mind us taking three local gk to afcon

Marjoribanks:
This Mozambique keeper dey find job cos what are those saves from Onyeka and Moffi!! Wow!!

We now av a new keeper …d Mozambique 🇲🇿 keeper 😎😀

Danielnino00:


It was quite painful, to be honest.... But we could have won that game if Iwobi didn't get a red card... Also, I remember Sadiq missing a good chance late on..

We really do have a goalkeeper crisis.... Adeleye self thats playing regularly in Israel has conceded 9 goals in 5 games...not very encouraging...

Akpeyi shld be recalled into the mix… cin Akpeyi manning d post gives me more confidence cin Maduka and uzoho dere….we knw say Akpeyi sef na suegbe 😂

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyWFeXILE-7/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==


Abi no b d same uzoho b dis 🥹

Unwanted record

Akpeyi Adeleye and any decent gk from the local league shld be taken to afcon cos I no understand uzoho, cos na almost d shot attempt wan Dey convert to goals

Jpes na olodo ,Mancini change tactics and he can’t react to counter it…dis man just Dey yahoo is $60k monthly….taking such amount just to win only weak african opponents 😀

Dis our new left back shld keep his spot…it’s been a long time I av seen an African left black having good crosses and he is decent defensive wise

zuchyblink:
I understand it is a new dawn. Fifteen years ago, players like Ogwuche, Federicks, Nnadi, Eletu, Daga, Akinsanmiro, Jude Sunday, Daga, and Agbalaka would have made their senior debuts. The advantage is that there is no scouting head for our national team handlers. The disadvantage is that we can hardly get players like Osimhen, Kanu, and Okocha from those rejected by their country of birth's national teams in Europe.

I c no reason y dt nnadi guy can’t be invited .he was our best player in dt midfield.he plays maturely and way ahead of his mates .the guy sabi

Nigeriagood:
if you believe osi is 35 you have mental issues

He’s genuinely young…he has a principal who was interviewed after d u-17 fifa World Cup ,so his age is traceable 😊

charlesemeka85:


Michael Kayode- possibility 20%
Curtis Jones- possibility 10%
Felix Nmecha- possibility 5%
Caleb Okoli- Possibility 60%
Michael Folorunsho- possibility 80%
Atubolu- possibility 50%

Curtis jones is not a Nigerian …forget all dis lineage stuff,

Curtisaxel10:


I agree. Can't remember a bad game he had for the SE. Average games? Sometimes....but never poor.

His run of SE games included some of the best periods of the Rohr era especially our famed 2018 WC qualification victories.

Shehu was never extraordinary but he knew how to do the simple important things to get the job done.

Sadly, his club career never quite took off and now that we have solid competition for the RB spot with Osayi-Samuel, Aina and Ebuehi, Shehu's SE future isn't looking particularly bright.

90 percent of those who criticize shehu is not for football reason…dem no just like d guy name ,d guy was superb during 2008 qualifiers like u rightly said and he was a committed player

charlesemeka85:
one player I loved so much but couldn’t reach his full potentials

The guy’s cut in and rocket shots was a beauty to behold

Himself was just similar to ikedia ,looking ground when with d ball,though ikedia is worst in dt aspect

charlesemeka85:
Oma and Nsofor

Dis guy and shot …nsofor 😀

Nigeriagood:
interesting to know the hosts will play qualifiers

It will serve as friendly for dem

kendrick9:

There's nothing creative about Iwobi...
He's 27 and no one can tell what exactly the position he plays...

If not for d dearth of talents in dt dept,normally iwobi suppose Dey play from bench

drDoom3:


He has been horrible at Milan. Super low in confidence, not decisive enough. Even his dribbling has been so ineffective, not to talk about end product. He needs to add that aggressiveness and directness guys like Salah and Saka have.

When I told emeka and others to pray about his move to Milan saying his move shldnt be like Taiye taiwo own…Dey almost lynch me 😀,Milan transfers no too dey pay Nigerian players like dt

So make we kuku dead dis Nwakali talks den ,na our coach no get sense😃😃

charlesemeka85:
the same reason players like ozil, James Rodriguez, Coutinho fizzled out easily in the modern game

Den Dt means all dis while na we no get coach wey get sense to bring out d best in our midfield players

Nwamazi8:
I'm just realizing that Curtis Jones of Liverpool has ancestral links to Nigeria through his grandparents, and is eligible to play for Nigeria? E shock me o!

Owngoalnigeria are reporting he might be under Peseiro's radar if England don't call him up

Dts a tall dream… I doubt if any full blown fb player will want to play for us

tuzle:
lampard and good coach in the same sentence. Wonders shall never end

I had to read d statement again…like lampard 🤣🤣🤣,he’s not fit to coach Oshodi fc
