Onuachu increasingly looking like a real scam

Even from the few mins, it was evident

BascoVanVeli:
Boss I am so pumped up right now. Up Ighalo

andrew444:
Ighalo haters will be praying we don't win this match so they will resume their usual character

My only fear is akpeyi

elyte89:
Anybody wey abuse ighalo for dis thread again shld bury his or her head in shame after watching dis display

Humility017:


i have never seen a clueless coach like this....

Curtisaxel7:
Iwobi is a big minus.

edi287:
Omeruo should've done better tbh

edi287:
Anyone surprised by this line up is not a true Super Eagles fan.
You should all know how Rohr's brain works. Anyways - good luck to the boys. May the best team win.

TheGoodJoe:
BascoVanVeli is spot on. Based on your assessment when Osimhen was at Wolfsburg, it was clear you were totally blinded to his quality (based on emotive bias). Being behind a top striker like Mario Gomez and a quality Origi is no way a sign that Osimhen was quality.

Osimhen's performance during the business end of the season shows his quality. You can be diplomatic enough to agree he was brilliant and shows his quality. Any other thing you try to paint even after the young man has proven his best shows that the emotive bias is real.

Finito.

BascoVanVeli:
That is complete nonsense I call a spade a spade. I could tell Victor Osimhen was talented since the moment I set my eyes on him. Even when he was at Wolfsburg I told you that it was part of the program. Instead of agreeing with common sense u kept on keeping on and now that he has had a bombshell of a season you are looking for excuses.

Playoff games decide everything in the league so why are you intentionally overlooking that stat? We are talking about 7 goals in 9 games during the business end of the season. If Victor Osimhen is not the best young striker in the world I would like to know who? Damn sure not your Solanke with one goal in 2 seasons.

You are making your own criteria of judgment but you have never proven to have an eye for young talent so nobody should even listen to you

BascoVanVeli:
Bad belle

Earthquake3:
Psv have signed a certain Noni Madueke

TheGoodJoe:
“ I have worked with a whole lot of players, but some I feel I won’t love working with them in the nearest future but I won’t mind luring some to join me in China,” Pellegrini said.

“ The young players I have worked with in the past are the ones I strongly feel we could work together again before I retire, there are many like Iheanacho, but I know he is very happy at Manchester City”,

---

When Pellegrini was in China, he hinted he would love to work with some of the young players he has worked with before. He pointed Iheanacho as one of them.

BascoVanVeli is just pointing of the possibility of Iheanacho being in the radar of Pellegrini as he searches for replacements of his forwards.

Although I do not think it will happen because of how ridiculous Leicester City boss values his players. Their prices are too exorbitant.

Earthquake3:
West Ham will replace Arnautovic, Carroll with Iheanacho?

Sportilitica:
My take on Osihmen, he is a decent player that can make a name for himself. To start him against Cameroon in my own opinion could backfire, and he might just fizzle away over time. He should have been used against Madagascar to be honest but it never happened. If I were to coach, I would not start Kalu against Cameroon neither would I start Onyekuru due to team synergy. However I will play Onyekuru latter in the game as he has the trickery and speed to cause them a lot of problems. Samu will start but with the instruction to make sure he plays to instruction of limited unnecessary dribbles and try to create as much as he can. My greatest worry is Awazeim as he will be up against a pacy Basogog. All being said, we should play the game with passion. I know people will not like to hear this but Mikel is needed in a match like this not as an AM but a DM.

darkelf:
This is a different Cameroon bro. Never underrate your opponents. They have a different technical crew. They have also not conceded any goals in their group stages while our attack has been poor.

Earthquake3:
Iwobi has played against Brighton, Burnley

He's no kid

forgiveness:
Kayode Olanrewaju is the only one in a big club now.

Omeruo and Ramon Azeez will be playing in the La Liga next season but we can't compare their progress with that of the Brazilian players.

jihday:
you don't have a point, if a player doesn't have it there's nothing anybody can do, Iwobi worked with wenger for about 3yrs we no see the qualities you are talking about, do you know in a normal non-tournament year, the total number of matches an African team will play may not even be up to 5? so what improvement do you want the coach to give? if your club no fit help you no be for national team you go get am, once there's somebody that can do it better than you you go shift go one side, you can check Bryan Idowu, Iheanacho, Ogude etc as examples

AIG07:
Spot on.

I said similar thing last year when I noticed a sort of pattern in the Europeans approach to raising formidable team that can go on to dominate for 5 years at the international level.

Anytime you see these European national teams miss out in any major competition, I tell you, they are cooking something up. Their team is undergoing a sort of rebuilding process.

Look @ the French, Italians, Dutch, they've all followed similar pattern. Presently, Netherlands and Italy are pulling all strings together and I won't be surprised if come 2022 one of them stroll to the World Cup Finals. They both missed out at the previous edition but have been improving since then. They are mixing youthfulness with experience. Retiring the previous generation of super stars like Robben, Persie, Kuyt, Pirlo, Machisio, etc. The French did it with Ribery, Benzema, Valbuena, Nasri, after crashing out at the early stage in two successive world cups and guess what? They lifted the trophy.

We've missed out of 2 consecutive AFCONs I was expecting us to have raised a formidable team in our 4years of absence but what will have today is an eyesore... A team who has been together for 3 years under 1manager and still can't play a purposeful football is of no use. it's either something is wrong with the players or the coach.

I don't know when will get it right.

BascoVanVeli:
He should be ashamed of himself. A grown man hell bent on making a young kid look bad. This has gone on for years now and it is not cool at all.

BascoVanVeli:
So you are the only one who doesn't know Belgium has a playoff?

cc12:
He scored 19 league goals

For example, Kachikwu lamented that our refineries have not been maintained at the same level like those in the neighbouring countries such as Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire, noting that their refineries that are about the same age with Nigeria’s, are working at 90 per cent capacity.

Algeria’s Skikda refinery built in 1983 is currently Africa’s largest refinery with a daily production of over 320,000 barrels has reportedly gone full-scale maintenance. Five years ago, the Algerian state oil firm, Sonatrach, closed the refinery for six months to carry out maintenance.

In the same vein, South Africa’s SAPREF Durban refinery built 52 years ago with a daily production capacity of up to 180,000 and Egypt’s Mostorod Refinery with 142,000 daily production capacity, are ranked above Nigeria’s plants due to their world-class maintenance culture. Thus, at the root of Nigeria’s refining problems is lack of maintenance nurtured by corruption.

facts1234:
Tell them clearly o.

How come Ighalo with all his experience has not been able to deliver? Onuachu has not been given enough time as Ighalo. Osimhen has not been given a chance either.

For the experience pundits, please tell RoHR to please substitute Ighalo for Osimhen at half time. Let each of them play one half so we can better assess them. It's also unfair to us and Osimhen. Why do we keep using Ighalo? Why?

How much experience did Mba have to cause havoc in the 2013 finals?

This Super Eagles TEAM is a pointer to the fact that Experience is over-rated.

Truidstar:
Bro, my only reply is watch Cameroon for 90 mins then let's come and have a constructive argument. Cameroon will be prepared for Ighalo. Give them something they don't expect.

Truidstar:
Good point. Of all the players you have mentioned, which of them is at the level of Messi or Ronaldo? Brazil we know produces players consistently at that level. My argument is they are no longer producing players at that level, they have adjusted accordingly. We have not.
