Lookman,Iwobi,Chuckwueze for now but as season progresses my preferred list might changed cuz am seeing Nwakili coming in if he can shake the table in Portuguese league….

You can have both Nwakali and Iwobi on the pitch.

Kog45:
Sir,will you start Ejuke,Nwakili and Chuckwueze together in your starting eleven.

Why not.

If you suggest the contrary give reasons.

Kog45:
Sir,pls do you watched the match

Why are you asking?

Joebie:
If you are not Osimhen, Any striker that gets injured will not be missed. Se how we almost forgot Sadiq Umar lol

We have been missing Ejuke.
He understands the game more than all our wingers.

I said it and i repeat, Chidera Ejuke is more intelligent than any winger that has featured for the Super eagles in the past four years at least.

Samuel Chukwueze has been improving in leaps, especially in his understanding of the wing play dynamics.

To explain Ejuke's intelligence – in the game against Tunisia, Ejuke tried to use his speed, movement and dribbling to affect the defensive shape of the Tunisians, he was looking for an opening and tried to see if he could drag some players with him, but the Tunisians aside crowding their box, were also defending in zones.

charlesemeka85:
you are right with your comparison of osimhen and awo. Both are similar but osimhen comes out on top because I think he is more better on the ball and good in tight spaces

Orban is different, more like Aguero, Martins and current city’s striker Alvarez

I think Orban may struggle if played as a lone striker especially against more physical and tall defenders but will fit in well if he is deployed upfront with osimhen or awo as partner

I think jpes if still in charge to try out the 3 man defense tactics which will accommodate 2 front men as strikers. In such system Orban will blossom

Orban will do well as a lone striker.

Liga Portugal

Chaves 2-4 Braga
Nwakali with an assist, pulled off in the 69th due to injury. Hope it’s not serious

We currently do not have a player with this kind of ability.
Just look at his stats.

typicalgamer:
Hardworking 😂

If he was hardworking he would’ve hired a personal trainer to work on his game
It took John stones 1 season to do what ndidi has been trying to do all of his career.

Simple forward pass, simple long balls, first touch and one touch dribbles drills

These drills would have been the difference maker for ndidi

So don’t talk to me about hardworking

Question: Do you know one of the reasons why Wilfred Ndidi was moved from a CB position to a DM position?
Answer: It is because of his ability to deliver long balls.

Wilfred Ndidi made six UEL appearances for Genk in 2016-2017 football season and averaged 6.5 long balls per game

Philosopher1979:
The present coach of leicester is a tiki taka guardiola disciple. It is better he stays ther and learn how to pass with technicality. The coach is playing him and he is improving.
Its actually a blessing in disguise.

Ndidi is not as limited as many believe him to be. He was instructed at Leicester city to keep it simple, and simple he kept it.

Leicester city is weakest at the back, Ndidi's main duty was to shield the back line, and shielding the backline he did in interceptions, blocks, tackles. If you can study Ndid's positioning, you will surely get what i am saying. He did his main job and kept his passes of the ball very simple.

Ndidi made six UEL appearances in 2016-2017 at Genk and made two man of the match appearances out of the six. He didn't make those appearances by just making tackles. He was massive in those games. Please do check his stats in those games.

I don't think that anybody who has been following Ndidi especially before his stints at Leicester city will come out to say that Ndidi is limited in what he does in midfield.

charlesemeka85:
with no goal and assist in a full season with hertha berlin

Off mic abeg

Ejuke made three assists and was their highest assists maker before his injury

Odunayaw:
He doesn't know if he his arguing about talent or something else

When he said we should go back to the streets maybe to pick football talents, that was when i got his angle.

He should know that the present crop of players also played street football and are as well as talented.

Helper1000:
boss.what we have in This present eagles are average players..we should not deceive ourselves.. starting from the goal keeper.. who do we have as defenders? We should go back to the street

Okay, I think i know now, what you are trying to say.

Helper1000:
go and watch the USA 1994 team.. chukwueze won't even be on the bench

He might be deployed differently, but he is as gifted as those players, if not more.

You are talking like Austin Eguavoen.
Let us forget about fame and past glories and critically look at player abilities.

charlesemeka85:
you guys are way too sentimental and emotional

The coaches won’t be benching nacho if he performs well both in training and games. Also it depends on the tactics they intend to deploy in any game and if it’s the pattern that suits Nacho he starts

Leicester didn’t spend over 20m pounds to bring him to the club just to maltreat him as you said. If he was delivering they wouldn’t hv bothered bringing in the Zambian striker from Salzburg

The same way u all hv been crying that nwakali hv been maltreated since over 7 seasons he left the shores of Africa for europe

You are the one inserting the word maltreatment to the thoughts presented to you.
Leicester City has every right to choose whoever starts games for them.

The treatment you give yourself, the opportunities you demand for, determines your overall valuation and even how your abilities are perceived.

They could have bought him for 100m, and after some time think he is not worth 5m because of the value he has attached to himself.

Helper1000:
All those players you've mentioned are average players.. can you compare any one of them to kanu And co? Please go and watch the USA 94 team.. it on YouTube

Kanu Nwankwo is gifted, and so is Samuel Chukwueze, Chidera Ejuke etc.

charlesemeka85:
what do u mean by the treatment iheanacho hv endured?

A gifted player like Iheanacho shouldn't play second fiddle to any striker for the interval that he has endured. If he believes in his abilities, he should have been thinking of teams he can help with his abilities, advertising himself the more, making good stories, and not used constantly as a cone for practice sessions.

How you treat yourself, the opportunities and privileges that you demand, has a way of bringing out your best.

Helper1000:
maybe you don't know what talent means.. you see the super falcons... from the back to the middle.. they are all gifted.. and if not for injuries on oshoala. She's gifted too.. some people just know how to play football and were opportuned to get signed . Natural talents are always exceptional

Please sir, what is talent?.

Coaching was what made the difference for the Super Falcons.

Coaches do improve in the manner at which they manage games.
Coaches do improve in the understanding of players and how to utilize them for the best outcome.

Helper1000:
pls mention one player that's naturally talented in this current eagles.. iam waiting.

We have many of them.
Kelechi Nwakali, Ola Aina, Chidera Ejuke, Bright Osayi, Zaidu Sanusi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Terem Moffi, etc.

Gift Orban, Victor Boniface, Raphael Onyedika, Alhassan Yusuf and so on.

Victor Osimhen is a gifted player, but his success is not just down to his gifts. Can Victor Osimhen tolerate the treatments Iheanacho has endured. I don't even see the ability to endure such treatments as being humble.

Helper1000:
I would advice we look inwards for raw talent for next year's afcon... aside osihmen there's no other natural gifted player in This squad.. even in Europe we don't have them.. And I think the super eagles should employ Randy for the male team, he's more tactical than potatoe

Osimhen is not the only gifted player in our squad. He is not even the most gifted.

BascoVanVeli:
Yea something like that. I need to be more active with it sha

I have seen the source code of your website.
I appreciate the agents providing the hosting service for you.

Modified: You are on the right path.

BascoVanVeli:
Had to put the highlights on my website cos of copyright issues. It will be the first video u see

https://naijabiasfootball.com

It is like you designed the website.

TheSuperNerd:
Stop speaking lies to push your agenda.

Jose Gomes was replaced first by David Gallego and Nwakali stayed a super regular.

Juan fran came in only for the last 6 games when relegation was already confirmed and Gallego was sacked.
Nwakali started 2 of those last 6 games simply because they were mere formalities to round off the season as ponferradina was confirmed already for the drop to third tier.


Also, what is wrong with Gomes being responsible for bringing Nwakali to the club? If Nwakali didn't shine in La Liga 2 last season, do you actually think it would have been easy for Gomes to sell the idea of the lad to the Club board?

When I dropped a similar scenario explaining that Lee Congerton, Atalanta's tech.director/head of recruitment was RESPONSIBLE for Lookman being picked up from Leicester, why didn't you try to water it down too? Or use it to push the claim of Lookman joining only becos person know am.
Gasperini said he was convinced about Lookman by Congerton.

Listen, in football, most of it is down to who has seen you perform and rate your abilities. That is how most players get their opportunities to play top flight football except you are super media visible and already have legit media hype/approval.


Finally, Chaves finished 7th. Not 8th.

Thank you.

Amedino99:
Back in top flight football

This is good

The upward trajectory continues.

Kelechi lheanacho is one of the best that can happen to any EPL club.

charlesemeka85:
una don come? Nobody comes close where? 😳

Iwobi remains the most skillful and intelligent player we can boast of in midfield who can easily find a way out with he’s skills in tight corners

Nwakali hv never been a dribbler or AM but a deep lying playmaker in the mould of ex Italy maestro pirlo

Nwakali is very good at long balls,one touch short passes and through balls but not a dazzler

Football of this era requires hard working midfielders be it attacking or defensive ones

Iwobi is not the most skillful and intelligent player in our midfield. Nwakali is.

For saying that Nwakali is not a dribbler means that you neither watch his games nor at least listen to his coaches and handlers. When it comes to midfielders that can dribble, he is one of the bests we have got.

I have said it before and i am repeating it again: Three players are very key to our results, Ndidi, Nwakali and Osimhen. I made the statement during Eguavoen's second stint as coach when he talked about building a team around a backbone.

charlesemeka85:
Many here are wary of SA but the team I tip to make things difficult for the super eagles is Rohr’s Benin 🇧🇯

Him sabi our team well so e no go easy at all

Rohr doesn't know our team. I said it.
It is our players that know Rohr very well.
I know Gernot Rohr's tactics like the back of my hand.

Defeating Rohr should be very simple. I am not exaggerating.

typicalgamer:
Far from it i honestly expected balogun to secure a starting spot in Brighton back in 2018 with Lewis dunk and the rest like the team was wack the defense was beyond poor

But balogun couldn’t nail down a starting shirt i nearly cried with he started playing fewer games like come on man

Look at his age now

Balogun has what it takes to make Brighton's first eleven.
There is more to success than just talent.

If you are young, or yet to taste real success in life, you may ignorantly believe that talent alone can take you to the top.

Photo of the day: The Frees family.

You can know a happy family.

komekn:
This is fake news you are denigrating a player who is wanted by the top clubs in La Liga .

Amen, so be it that he is wanted by top EPL clubs.

ChrisKels:
How good is Shawn Adewoye as a centre back?

I am yet to watch any of the matches that has him as a feature.
Going by stats alone, he is good when compared to what we have.
He is also a young player with time for improvements.

Kog45:
Barry I got your views on Bassey and I shared similar views.

In eagles I will pick Segunda Omeruo and Croatia Awaziem over Calvin Bassey.

Calvin Bassey is a Left Back. That's where Calvin Bassey is Calvin Bassey.

I remember how i still kept hope on Peseiro until i saw the pairing of Akpoguma and Bassey at CB. I couldn't just take it.

Barryseal:
He's not very good at football.

I don't think you know the player.

Tell me one reason why he is not good.
Just one reason .
