I think he actually meant AM. There isn't much of a distinction though. I think as a CM one should be a good holder and distributor of the ball. Somewhere midway between an AM and a Holding Midfielder. Iwobi has improved in his ball holding capability.

Of course he is known for his good passes

edi287:
I don't know why people keep thinking Iwobi can play at CM. He can't. His best position is as a AM/LW. He also didn't play well against Cologne. He was good against Chelsea and worked hard.

That's one of the easiest players we can get regardless lol.

If we really want a challenge, let's go for Akpoguma, Uduokhai, and Solanke

edi287:
Forget about Illori.. that one is out of reach. I doubt if he's ever watched a SE game in his life.

Anthony.

Two years ago is a while ago. Is he injured now? Why the limited time? And please don't forget to stress those best XIs were weekly stats.

Like I said they are all in the championship. We can easily monitor them - many thanks to whoscored. At least we have some good stats as a yardstick.
forgiveness:
That's right! He made the best 11 in the LA liga despite limited playing time 3 years ago, and he also made best XI in ligue 1 just two years ago despite injuries and limited playing time. shocked grin

These are the stats for the current Championship season, for the quartet of Aina, Tomori, Iorfa, and Ilori. See pics below for details.

Ilori: 6.53
Tomori: 6.85
Lorfa: 7.04
Aina: 7.31

grin he made whoscored's best XI in Spain in one of those weeks, about 3 YEARS AGO. Take note, they are all now in the Championship. So let's make that comparison now, or at least during the course of the current season -- fair enough. Ramon Azeez was once voted the best youngster in the whole of a season in the La Liga. So does that now make him class?
With these youngsters, we always hope for their development. Michael Olaitan also comes to mind.

And please Aina is not the best right back in the championship.
I have the whoscored Championship best XI here for this season so far.



forgiveness:
Yes! Game time can't exceed pure quality and class. In this case again Ilori is still far ahead of Dominic Iorfa and Aina(best right back in the 'championship') because with the little game time Ilori had in the Spanish LA liga he showed pure quality and class when he made the LA liga team of the weekweek (best CB in La liga) ahead of some of the best defenders in the world. Agreed!? grin

Remember, he didn't stop at that, he was listed twice on the best young talent of the week. grin

Now, be sincer. Which do you prefer btw best right back player in the championship or team of the week and best young talent of the week? grin

Exactly -- as regards those that are SE regulars, except Ogu.

Mickael2:
Mikel, Etebo, Ogu and a lot of others guys are regulars too. the only two exemptions I can think about are Onazi and Elderson, easy to figure out why they are the weak link
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 11:43pm On Sep 17, 2017
Shehu as well. I'm sure he is a super regular grin Who else are you missing?
forgiveness:
Iwobi, Ndidi, Balogun, Troost, Ebuechi, Moses, Simon and Ighalo are the only super eagle's player playing regularly and by doing very well in their various clubs.

I can't remember Agbo playing under Rohr if memory serves me right. He's made the bench, yes.

Modified
He's played as a defensive midfielder most times. I remember him playing as CB a couple times when he was in Granada.

safarigirl:
I no even know which position Agbo dey play... He always gets invite, but I don't think he has played under Rohr undecided
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 11:22pm On Sep 17, 2017
Alex Iwobi, third best today - versus Chelsea - in pass success rate.

Tammy will play for Nigeria

forgiveness:
I can see he is full of swagger and tricks but are we still able to lure him to play for us?

Same question for Solanke.

Of course we have some good players we are yet to invite in both the center-back and defensive midfield role.

Kog45:
My man u get eyes but to my surprise d guy is always on d list of players getting invitation,truth be told d guy lack d class.Hope Rohr find good backup for Balogun and Ekong.

That's fine.. especially after the WC draw. We don't have to win all matches. That will be the best time to have a test on how we measure up with bigger oppositions outside Africa, and fine-tune our strategies.

tbaba1234:
We got beaten right and left in the build up to USA 94 though...
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 9:36pm On Sep 17, 2017
Likewise Dessers, Olayinka etc should get their chance whether they make Russia or not

tbaba1234:
In the run-up to USA 94, Nigeria tested Kanu, Ojigwe, Taribo west, Joseph Odegbami, and so many fringe players. None of them made the world cup but some formed the nucleus of a future team.

FIFA 18 Strength & Physicality : Akinfenwa Is Strongest Player, Ikpeazu & Esiti In Top Ten

Less than 13 days before the official release of EA SPORTS FIFA 18, Electronic Arts have announced the top ten players for strength and physicality, and three Nigerian players made the cut.

Cambridge United striker Uche Ikpeazu, who has been invited to the Nigeria U23 squad on more than one occasion, is the tenth strongest player in the world.

Strongest players are rated on their ability to overpower and hold off the opposition, and Ikpeazu has a 77 physicality rating.

Gent central midfielder Anderson Esiti clocks in at number nine on the list, while the title of the strongest player in the world has been retained by Wycombe Wanderers frontman Adebayo Akinfenwa, nicknamed The Beast.

Anderson Esiti ranks at number five for physicality, ahead of Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba (both Manchester United), Diego Costa (Chelsea) and Sead Kolašinac (Arsenal).

According to EA Sports, physicality is a measure of key physical traits such as strength, stamina, and jumping.

I agree!

TheSuperNerd:
Believe me if Ozil was African, He will be chopping bench already because of Iwobi.... he hasn't been up to par this season so far.

His previous records and his German reputation is what is still putting him ahead of a fast-rising bad-ass in Iwobi. Sentiments still rule the beautiful game in one way or the other... it cannot be hidden or denied.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 5:09pm On Sep 17, 2017
The point is the boy just had his first start. There are still over 20 games to be played.

komekn:
If you pay near £30 million for an experienced striker and he plot only 31 games and scores 8 goals.

What will you call thathuh

Once again this near obsessive protectionism surrounding KC by you. This he can do no wrong mentality does'nt help objective observations & advice
Nobody is given him a hard time. This is constructive criticism not sentiment.

understand there is very little patience in football.

He is still the most expensive striker this season last season is history.

Yes we need to act early.. we need to be hawk-eyed, to see talents even before they take notice, and start building relationships.
Time to act on Torunarigha is now.

By the way, Echiejile started from the bench today.

I saw this too but kept mute.... I did warn this house about Plattenhardt's rise.... didnt I? That is who Germany is looking at...
