lovewins: Osimhen-Boniface combination, one of the most beautiful combinations that i can envisage right now. We saw glimpses of it in the second leg tie against Sao Tome and Principe. |

komekn: He is very good in the game of passes, short passes, long passes, and what have you. He is not that easy to disposses of the ball, in the many cases of it, he has to be fouled in order to rid him of the ball. He is also good at making passes that results to goal scoring opportunities. His four assists, does not tell the whole story. His positioning is very good. He tracks back a lot to help in the various stages of build up play. |

We don't really have a forward, built for the game of ball possession like Chidera Ejuke. I hope he is in Finidi's plans. 1 Like |

Zellas: We need good midfielders that will help ease the pressure on the defenders to sustain possession of the ball. |

Odunayaw: The team's playing style is to keep possession of the ball. A large chunk of blame goes to the midfield for not placing themselves in good positions to receive passes of the ball. A midfield that will lose the ball because they cannot handle themselves in tight spaces. hence the concomitant back passes in order to keep possession of the ball. Awaziem's pass was intelligently intercepted because the opponent read us well, it doesn't make Awaziem's passes of the ball poor. We need midfielders who can receive passes from the defenders and find a way to not only locate the forwards, but also support them as they break down the opposition. |

It will be beautiful watching Awaziem and Bassey build possession from the back, if they are given the nod to start. |

Finidi's invitation of Awaziem seems like he prioritises ball possession. Awaziem is one of our bests when it comes to making good passes of the ball. Awaziem is very good when it comes to making clearances of the ball, insomuch that his ball clearances in many instances of it look like a long pass to a team mate because he is good with long passes. 4 Likes |

humility33: I wonder how you came up with what you just posted. Is it that you can't observe what was happening, or you are just being blunt. Tell me an SE player that can poster such skill. Is he the only player at Chaves. For you to use terms like "wasting away in relegation bound teams" says a lot about you. 4 Likes |

Goke7: Yes. We have the talents, we have the potential. We need men who know the job to be at the helm. We have the quality to beat SA. |

Joebie: You have a point, but we have players with better exposure, we have players that can clog whatever understanding SA players may have among themselves. We can beat SA even in the game of passes. Our problem has always been player selection and coach tactics. Let's see if things will be different under Finidi. 1 Like |

The defeat we suffered against Mali can be excused given that Finidi did not prepare the list of invited players. In the matches against Ghana and Mali, Finidi revealed glimpses of what he can do. However his list of player invitations, will tell me whether to dismiss my observations as mere coincidence. 4 Likes |

comodo: "You don't teach an old dog a new trick", were some of the retorts i got some of the times that i stood in defense of Wilfred Ndidi. I doubt if anyone on this thread, have gotten those retorts the number of times they were said to me. I kept saying Ndidi has it in him, I kept giving the reasons that he has been told severally to keep it simple, i also pointed out the possibilities of improving, because i take time to study a player before arriving at conclusions. I like telling my observations no matter how they might sound. |

After watching Victor Boniface at USG, i came to the conclusion that he is the best strike partner to Osimhen. |
Sports / Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Meliforme: 8:44pm On May 01 |
I used positioning, ability to work with the midfield amid other considerations to conclude that Kelechi Iheanacho and Victor Boniface interprets the SS role more than any other including Ademola Lookman in the Super Eagles. 1 Like |

Which position did Lookman play during the just concluded AFCON. |

Believe me when i commend Iheanacho's comportment and interpretation of the SS role especially against highly tactical sides. 1 Like |

Kog45: You did not read well, if read my summary as a deliberate downplay of Lookman's abilities. |
Sports / Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Meliforme: 12:33am On Apr 30 |
Kog45: Ademola Lookman is a player i highly rate, he is very good, but you see that SS thing, Boniface and Iheanacho has shown to be better. |
Sports / Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Meliforme: 12:27am On Apr 30 |
humility33: In the availability and fitness of Boniface and Iheanacho, no sound coach will play Lookman ahead of the duo in the SS role. That Joe Aribo is ahead of Kelechi Nwakali in the pecking order does not mean Aribo offers more in midfield. |
Sports / Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Meliforme: 12:15am On Apr 30 |
Danielnino00: That Lookman combined well with Osimhen at the AFCON, doesn't mean Lookman brings more to the table in that role. I have seen better combinations with Iheanacho and Boniface. They fare better tactically. |
