Agreed aina is a better left footer than idowu but thats doesn't mean idowu doesn't cross with his left foot it might be as accurate as aina's ...idowu scores with his left foot ..and also defensively idowu is better than aina.

Bro,it is simple you don't rate Aina.

Icon4s:
You see, this where the problem is.

Based on Stats Iwobi is better than Kanu right?

You focus only on statistics and forget the general impact of players on the game.

Tell me which of the current wingers that can do a solo run, over running the defense and score like Victor Moses and Musa did on different occasions.

Chief just leave the matter.I can say it anywhere anytime that none of our current wingers have done half of what Musa and Moses did for Super eagles.

smartsmith0907:
i want you to know every player is indispensable i.e no player is a waste different player with different styles I agree with the fact Osihmen is the most suitable CF for us he is a a complete forward and can play different styles and role but onuachu is a better target man than him he can prove useful when we are playing against a very ultra attacking and high pressing that you won't be able to play short passes then Paul can come in you just need crosses and those long ball gbam Goal can come in...so no player is a waste

My man I love they way you are analysing this game just like my good friend thegoodjoe but guess what,some of us here have been watching Super eagles since 1980,infact I can tell you more of Afcon 1980 hosted by Nigeria,Libya 82,Ivory coast 84,maroc 88,meaning I have seen enough to know a good player for national team.

My man Onuachu can't cut it with eagles.

smartsmith0907:
no hypes Onuachu is a target strikers thats his styles and he has been excelling in Genk with this styles he is the kind of striker harry Redknapp will Like to have don't be suprise if he starts him ahead of osihmen sef....every forwards has it own styles or playing pattern so don't rule paul all because his styles contradict our style nope he is still a very good target man.

Bro just forget Onuachu I beg forget him.

...with Osimehn we are ready to go and I can say it anywhere that half fit Iheanacho is better than Onuachu.

Rohr should just open his door for more CF, serious I don't mind seeing Simy Nwankwo again even Kayode Olarewaju.

smartsmith0907:
i can assure you rohr will bring something good to the table...I don't wanna talk much so i wont be labeled as a paid Rohr's paid PR ...he has a fixed style but we just need player to execute this philosophy. the Tunisia match should tell you alot, 4 yellow cards that shows a potential attacking team.

Ok o I dey watch

smartsmith0907:
But seriously Nigeria is building a very great team we now have a lot of options in our attack
moffi,Tolu,maja,osihmen,nacho,et al even on the wings we have good players we just need to come up with a philosophy/style that will suite the team...
SE is giving me joy

My man can Rohr bring something great from this team and that should be the question.

olasaad:
Copy and paste governor. Labour is on strike in Kwara. The governor has refused to talk with the Labour leaders. There was a protest by the Labour union in government house this morning, the governor never attend to them and he his joining #endsars protest, so is Mr gomina telling us #endsars is more important than all the civil servants in Kwara state

Una never know anything sebi una dey tell us say Saraki na thief.

ChrisKels:
Seems nobody wants to say it, but there is nothing special about Akpoguma. Before he committed and even when he did I was not as excited as I would be if it was either Toru or UDI. I always maintained that Awaziem and even Omerou are levels ahead of him as a center back but some guys were rating him higher just because he plays for Hoffeinhen.


BTW, Balogun remains our best center back, dude is getting better as he ages ala Italian players

Thanks Chris,i said it here that those German boys are average even Uduokhai is average

The real deal are Torunarigha,Iorfa and Tosin

Bolowolowo:
Which level? 4 years ago, we couldn't even qualify for AFCON.

France didn't make it to 1990 and 94 world cup but 4 years after won 98 world cup.

smartsmith0907:
hope you're not talking about okiki
okiki has nailed his spot in LASK who are competing in the europa league he is only in the reserve team so as to make him fit and not match rusty in the coming weeks there is high probability he will be their No.1
2. okoye might be struggling in Sparta Rotterdam I mean this is first season he is the second choice goalkeeper he plays in all the pre season games and was fantabulous and as it stands now he will likely be their No.1 coz they are having GK issues and suré his coach will be happy with his performance against Algeria

Sir goalkeeping is all about trust and I want to tell you Maduka am watching is not better than Alampasu,pls on what criteria.

It is a pity we are having issues in our goalkeeping department and Alloy Ago has failed us in discovering talented goalkeeper that can be nurtured like what Amusa Adisa did with Vincent Enyeama,Austin Ejide and Dele Aiyenigba

Rohr just believe in Maduka and having him in goalposts against Tunisia is a welcome development cos it will boost his confidence.

Maduka,Tobia,Yakubu,Alampasu are average with Uzoho slightly above due to his experience.

Honestly for now I will pick Uzoho and let the rest prove that they can be trusted... good luck to Maduka cos today's match will cement his place in SE as Number two.

andrewbaba44:
Hope you know aina just recovered from injury and played his first game for Fulham last week ?

Aina played 62 seria A games for Torino over 2 seasons missing only 14 games ,go and check the squad depth at Torino and look at the competition there

We are on the same page

forgiveness:
Keep lying to yourself. Fact doesn't lie.

Osimhen was struggling in Bundesliga when Kayode was in Laliga.

1. Osimhen in 2017/2018 season
2. Kayode in 2017/2018 season

Haha baba forgiveness.This Saturday go sweet for this beautiful thread

Edopesin:
As long as balogun makes the first 11 he is fit abi Coach go start player wey no fit before? A fit Omeruo is more consistent and better than a fit Balogun there I said it.

Oh am a real fan of Omeruo so no fuss

junnyjake:
Someone came straight from a 2 year injury and effectively sent Aina to the bench and he's somehow not better?

Easy bro, no doubt Ebuehi is good but sometimes we need to take it easy when analysing our players.

Ebuehi is fit and better this season compare to Aina who just had one or two games this season.

andrewbaba44:
After 1 game ? Lol

Is school boy error not an error ?

If na omeruo or ekong do that thing say una go forgive them ?

Opinion that you cannot air before the match

Andrew baba, i have been watching this game since 1980 so I know what am talking about..

I don't want to go to any error committed by our player to rate them..oh you you forgot elementary error committed by Ekong during the same Afcon.

My man a fit Balogun is better than Ekong

Edopesin:
This opinion before the match would have been ridiculous and to me and after the match it still is, Balogun just like Ekong has his days but that doesn't come as consistent as Ekong's. How many consistent defenders (Consistent for both club and country) have we had in our National team these past years? Even omeruo has been more consistent than balogun

Bro,check my posts on Ekong before yesterday match.

....hope you see why I said (a fit) Balogun is better than any of our CBs

andrewbaba44:
Zaidu had a good game yesterday doesn’t make him better than aina

And Balogun being our best defender yesterday doesn’t make him our best defender overall ,no be Balogun wey dem take side wey e commit that school boy error for afcon ? Abi no be omeruo bench Balogun for afcon

Them they yab ekong ,even the performance Elon pull against Brazil Balogun have never done that

It’s just a friendly thou

Oga Andrew,school boy error or not,Balogun is better than Ekong though my opinion

mostob:
Oga. .there are more to just scoring goals. His movements on and off ball are poor. Dude could not even win some aerial ball against shorter players. Make we talk true,his performance was poor.

...likely Onuachu is a club player.

I remember player like Mike Obiku who was playing for Feyenord but find it difficult to break into Westerhoff team,Chris Ohenhen couldn't make it with Super eagles,also Richard Owubokiri.

Edopesin:
People saying Balogun is our best defender after one good game don't know what they are talking about, same as those saying Zaidu is better than Aina

My man anytime any day a fit Balogun is far better than Ekong.

Samueltemi337:
Why was Ramon azeez not invited?

question for Rohr to answer

Icon4s:


Dude looked overwhelmed for the 20mins he played.

Boss na today you dey watch this game.

I don dey tell them here say those German boys would need to prove to us that they are better

Am always saying it that a fit Balogun is better than any of our CB.I never rate Ekong but Rohr rate him dearly.

Akpoguma would be good addition to eagles so we can't really say much of him now but fact still remains he is average CB just like Udohkahi

The real deal for eagles is Torunarigha,Iorfa and Adarabioyo.

My opinion

Lucque:
Balogun na lord Marshall abeg

A fit Balogun is better than any of our CB

Subzero047:
Yes Ebuehi is a top player and would be a starter for Netherlands if he didn't switch to Nigeria

Seems like you haven't watched him

My man Ebuehi is good and I can tell you I always take keen interest in watching any FB even before their invitation to Nigeria team cos am always happy seeing Nigeria name on any club Jersey.

I watched Ebuehi regularly even before his invitation and remember watching him live in a friendly against Mainz.

temi1290:
Well na injury cause all this problem for Ebuehi walai, the Ebuehi I saw against Argentina in that 4-2 friendly win would have become a key player for Benfica, make we just thank God sey e don dey ball again,a player of Ebuehi quality shouldn't be playing for a small club

Pls forget that Argentina match abi no be the same match Idowu do scammed us though Ebuehi is good.

Samueltemi337:
I wonder why you guys don't rate Awaziem here


He is not that bad

My man not rating a player doesn't make that player a bad one.

I don't rate Ekong,Semi and Awaziem but I still gave kudos to Awaziem for his performance during Afcon.

It all depends on individual opinion.

Subzero047:
You overrate England squad, Harry Winks is a regular there and holds no candle to Ndidi, Ebuehi can comfortably wreste right back position with TAA and Kieran Trippier, Osimhen is at par or better than all Kane's backups, even Ward Prose starts for England and Aribo is much better than him

My man wetin....are you damn serious about this or just trying to get at... cos mentioning Ebuehi sound somehow.

smartsmith0907:
I have argued with a lot of analyst about this ekong position is not safe, in our attack now the impetus behind the invitation of the strikers is Europe top 5 league I see desser and onuachu as a pretender the likes of maja,moffi and akodare are the main deal.
There will be an evolution in the SE that the likes of ekong might phase out unless he moves to a team in Europe 5 league and play regularly I wonder how ekong will play when we have the likes of jordan,kelvin,tosin,udokhai playing for Hertha Berlin ,hoffenhim,Fulham,Augsburg respectively how on earth will these players be dropped for a Watford player second division

My man na Super eagles performance go determined o,forget all these talks.If Ekong continue giving out good performance no wahala.

As a matter of fact with our CB depth now,any sloppy performance from anyone is bye bye to the team.

Subzero047:
We didn't have the depth of squad we have now, there's no way Uduokhai, Torunarigha, Awaziem and Balogun will be playing first division football and chances will be given to Iorfa in the championship

...see I don't care if Iorfa got invited or not but fact remains Ekong is a championship player and Omeruo segunda player.

If Rohr rate him which I doubt he will get his invitation.Semi got his as championship player, Etebo was a regular with SE as a stoke player,Omeruo a regular playing for middlesborough then in championship.

My man it all depends on Rohr rating of a player,playing in Championship or Segunda not a bad idea if such player can measure up in GWG.

MetalJigsaw:
So why is Nwakali still struggling in his career?

Why is he playing at Huesca?

And he's not even a starter there.

Or is he hiding his talents?

Honestly I don't know why Nwakili name always coming up and funny enough matching him up with Alex Iwobi look crazy and insulting to some us who have been watching the game since 80s.

Apart from sentiment and may be U17 exploit,Nwakili will work his socks off to be part of this present team.

I just wish the the young man well in getting his career back,he just need to be regular with huesca

Subzero047:
Iorfa is a championship player, Adarabiayo may get a chance

Semi got his chance as championship player and now Ekong is playing in the same championship.

Iorfa jnr has all it takes to fight for a shirt in eagles if Rohr rate him which i doubt.

Philosopher1979:
Musa was badly coached when he was a teenager. I suspect most (not all) Nigerian coaches lack adequate knowledge of football and it shows in the talented but raw players they produce

It is not only nigerian footballers that have to go abroad but NIGERIAN COACHES HAVE TO GO TO EUROPE OR GET EXPOSED TO HAVE THEIR KNOWLEDGE UPDATED.
i even think exposing Nigerian coaches will be better. One good coach can priduce 30 good players. Its something that has to be taken seriously.

Honestly you are right my man on upgrading of our coaches but I disagree that Musa was badly coached by Nigeria coach?Pls if I may ask is Finidi George badly coached by Nigeria coach?

Musa remain one of the best winger to come out of Nigeria with Segun Odegbami and Finidi George.

TheSuperNerd:
More from the Super Eagles camp...

Look at that Oyibo front sitting. Lol

Kalu, Chuks, Onuachu, Collins, Onyeka, Semi Ajayi behind.

Awon Oyibo safarigirl
