What?!!! This is blasphemy!

TheGoodJoe:

I watched an Interview when Okocha said he was a striker but he could not play that role because of the number of strikers for Super Eagles.

#FoodForThought

chrisooblog:
lol guy went to ac milan when dem see his quality (or lack thereof) no one told them before they off loaded him.

taiwo has never been great defensively. it's only his athleticism and sweet left foot that saw him through all those years. on oshaniwa his lack off playing time at hearts is worrisome but i think he deserves the benefit of the doubt to prove himself.

rohr has a big job on his hand solving this LB conundrum

TheGoodJoe:

Goals. Taiwo scored goals in the U20. The Super Eagles challenge is stopping deadly wingers.

Oshaniwa i watched at d world cup (2014)better than Taiye taiwo of 2010 W/C,though they belong to different class as u said,d club pedigree of taiwo is far better than Oshaniwa but i w never bench Oshaniwa for Taiwo,Do u know some coaches don't bring class to their selection coz I remembered Finidi as a local player benching Tijani as a foreign base.Also cote d voire based Yekini keeping Owobokiro of boavista and Mike Obiku of feyenord out of national team.Amuneke of Zamalek benching Ikpeba of Monaco.

tbaba1234:
I think after Babayaro and Iroha, Taye Taiwo is Nigerian's third best left back. Some might even rate him higher than Iroha because he got goals.

Oshaniwa has never had the potential or quality of Taiwo.

Taiwo is no longer the player he was but Oshaniwa is not is his class.

TheGoodJoe:
I rate Oshaniwa higher than Taiwo too. Oshaniwa's speed, style of play and ease running down the length of the pitch is refreshing.

TheGoodJoe:


Funnier. Because the guy wants £50,000, he kacks bench.

So you believe if Solanke signs 25k deal, he will get picked more often. Over Batshuayi or how.

Kog45:
I don't know why two of u are arguing like this,pls be professional when it comes to analysis and don't be sentimental.

Please calling Taiwo back shows that Echijele did not leave to expectations and it w not be good for our football when we are yearning for younger players,though if we don't have options there is nothing we can do if Taiwo is recalled back.

On Oshaniwa,not playing regularly in lowly rated Scottish league is a minus for him and is not helping his football career.After world cup i thought this guy is going places coz d potential shows that he is far better than Echijele, may be due to poor agent he made a wrong move and is paying for it.

Echijele likely to still play LB against Algeria coz w lack quality replacement now but i don't see him as d best for d position coz d guy is diminishing and it shows against Zambia.I remembered Keshi dropped this guy and Ambrose for Madu and raheem lawal during d Afcob qualify.During this match Onazi moved to RB,Madu to LB and Lawal as DM.

It w take a coach that know Oshaniwa inside out to gamble on him coz of lack of playing time,not every player has d ability of Mikel,though I rate Oshaniwa than Taiwo an Echijele.

TheGoodJoe:

Coming from the person who believes a third choice Striker on the bench at Chelsea is better than A Starter at Manchester City.

TheGoodJoe:

More like Reflex Assumption. How can you assume such?

TheGoodJoe:
Regularly in Finland.

TheGoodJoe:
You said the bolded.

Okay. They know Solanke is better than Diego Costa. Do not Crack my ribs with laugh.

TheGoodJoe:

You are against us calling a player that was good for us in 2014 but we should call a player dropped in 2012.

This is like from Fry pan to Gas.

TheGoodJoe:


You are among those who believe our left Back Is one of the challenges we have. Right?

We had someone who outclassed Echiejile who was Unfairly dropped and the Echiejile they kept Flopped.

It is myopic to shield a possibly better option and keep complaining of the left-back as a problem.

TheGoodJoe:

Mikel lost his place because he put the country over his club. It is funny that you believe every Chelsea fan wants Costa dropped for Solanke.

TheGoodJoe:

Assumptions. So you expect Conte to keep Diego Costa and Batshuayi on the bench for Solanke?

The young man should keep training and improving.

TheGoodJoe:

Learn to read well before jumping into arguments. That is what I termed reflex argument.

I clearly stated that Oshaniwa should not make the starting squad for the game against Algeria. An invitation will give the coach a chance to see if Oshaniwa can become a better option.

TheGoodJoe:

Did I say Solanke is a bad finisher? Unlike you, I believe players should keep working hard to improve. If you feel this is the best of Solanke, no beef. I want Nacho to keep improving.

If Solanke wants more, he should reject the Chelsea deal and go to where he will earn £50,000 and above.

TheGoodJoe:

Unless you have a left Back option with a better chance of delivering, we are doing ourselves bad not testing Oshaniwa.

TheGoodJoe:

That £50,000 was outrageous. He is not close to that. Solanke should keep working hard in training and sharpening his finishing skills. He needs to take his chances when the opportunity comes.

TheGoodJoe:


I agree Echiejile was a liability and I hope the coach calls Oshaniwa and check if he can offer more to the team. He must not put him in the game squad but test if he is sharp to help the team cope in coming games.

I disagree with the Omeruo point. He made one mistake but was our most imposing defender that day. We can not drop a player who performed well because of a mistake.

tbaba1234:
He retired voluntarily, I say leave him..

Icon4s:
"Cap them now". As in against Algeria?

BascoVanVeli:
I don't know why, it might even be becos the boy has been breathing down his neck since his red card but Iheanacho looks far better and crisper lately. Iheanacho's movement and touches have been better. The only thing i can honestly say Kun does better is running at defenders cos his finishing has been absent lately.

I guess the word 'average' has been taken the wrong way. The right word for me is good player.
