After watching Victor Boniface at USG, i came to the conclusion that he is the best strike partner to Osimhen. |

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 |

Meliforme: The above proves that many are driven by sentiments rather than by careful study. |

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. |

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. |

Kog45: I got your angle when you highlighted Ademola Lookman's form and goalscoring abilities. If goalscoring were to be the yardstick, Lookman may still not get the nod However, the criteria i used for the considerations were based on positioning and the abilities to work with the midfield which are very key to what an SS does. |
Sports / Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Meliforme: 11:17pm On Apr 29 |
In my appraisal Ademola Lookman can be rightlfully benched for the likes of Victor Boniface and Kelechi Iheanacho because the duo interprets the SS role better. 1 Like 1 Share |

Finidi is a good coach, even though my support has Amunike predominantly at its front and i saw criticisms hauled at me as a result. Nevertheless, i rate Finidi, below lies one of the things that i said in defense of him after the match against Mali. Meliforme: 1 Like 1 Share |

In Royal Antwerp, possession won in the final third per 90 has Chidera Ejuke at the top of the list. This is very impressive. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Thank you, TheGoodJoe. You have eyes for quality. Ejuke's is very technical, a quality that has seen him play as a defensive midfielder, even though he is predominantly a winger. Having wingers that can also operate as midfielders is great gain especially in the game of control and retaining the ball. This is what we need in S.E, not just wingers who are just strikers that operate from wider positions. |

TheSuperNerd: Ok, you are free to have your opinion. Let me make my opinion clearer; with the likes of Balikwisha present in the team, and used as wingers, considering how Antwerp likes to play, none of our wingers will start any match, because they lack the skills required to thrive there. 1 Like |

I said it earlier that most of our wingers will not start at Royal Antwerp because of how Royal Antwerp likes to play. Royal Antwerp is a team that loves to keep possession of the ball especially in the opposition's half. To achieve this you need as one of the requirements: wingers who are not limited in their passing and can keep the ball. With the exception of Ejuke none of our wingers meets the aforementioned criteria. This is nothing but the truth. It is only in the striker role that we have depth, we don't really have excellent wingers. We have wingers who can only dribble and shoot, but what happens when the opposition seats too deep and uses zonal marking, you will require tactical wingers who are not limited in their passing to break down the opposition. 2 Likes |

lbrichman2: Both have different applications and or uses. Dennis is a player who understands defending from the front, he does that better than all our strikers. He is a player that likes to win, he carries Osimhen kind of vibes. He is a fantastic dribbler. He seems to have redefined himself especially in the striker role. However his passing, holding on to the ball, are areas he needs to work on, those deficiencies limits his role as a winger, but he excels well as a striker. 1 Like |
