Victor Moses is one of our most intelligent wingers in recent times

Dude knew how to cross a ball to save his life

COOL10:
Even Victor Moses' biggest critics know the truth. They can't argue about his performance especially when he played as a winger.


Whenever I saw that guy in the starting lineup for the Eagles, my mind would immediately be at rest. He could single handedly change any game. Whenever he got on the ball, you knew something exciting was gonna happen.


He knew when to dribble, when to pass, when to shoot, when to fall down in the box and roll twenty times just to get a penalty , and he also knew when to cross. THE BASICS!!!. That's something that majority of our current wingers lack.


Just look at the games against Cameroon and Algeria. Look at how he embarrassed their defenders. The closest thing we have right now to a Victor Moses is Ademola Lookman, but he's yet to live up to it in the National team colours.

daveP:
What I'm pissed at most in his post is he saying Mikel and Onazi helped him majorly. Maybe he didn't watch VicMo. That guy will singlehandedly run from defence and do wonders, MOSTLY by himself, influencing game outcomes with his intelligence. These current ones can't lace his boots till 20whatever. Unless the improve by far.

COOL10:
Victor Moses has a record of 12 goals and 5 assists in just 37 games for Nigeria. For a winger, that's an impressive record. Show me a Nigerian winger that has a better record.

And please, did you really compare Victor Moses' style of play and his creativity with the likes of Moses Simon and Chukwueze? 😳😳


Chai, what won't I read on this thread?🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

COOL10:
Almost five years since Victor Moses left and we're yet to find a credible replacement. Moses Simon, Chukwueze, Dennis, Onyekuru; none of those guys has managed to fill his boots.

BannedLarge:
Ajax can afford to play at at Lb but we can’t because he is our best available CB

Meliforme:
He is not

BannedLarge:
If he isn’t presently our best CB then who is If dem born you well mention balogun, Akpoguma, ekong, awaziem or semi ajayi. Tell us who is presently our best CB…. The problem with Nigerians is that, we exaggerate our players ability and always believe that, there are world class players at our disposal

Meliforme:
Awaziem, Balogun, Omeruo.

AndSunGorilla:
Who we go deploy to the RB? bameyi?

Truidstar:
Simon is a waste of space Tbh. Iwobi should handle corner kicks duties. He delivers some sweet corners for Everton.

TheSuperNerd:
The Ideal front 3 right now indeed backed by a dynamically functional midfield 3 but nope, nothing dynamic about an Ndidi/Iwobi/Aribo/Onyeka midfield options selection. The limitations are much.

Peseiro is making the ex coach look like some hero.

And ofcos he would start Simon probably because he is gonna be matchday captain (in Ekong's absence), nothing else.

TheGoodJoe:
Kelechi Nwakali was immmense yesterday and has started showing consistency which played a part in their win against Alaves yesterday.

Hope he keeps building on it.

TheSuperNerd:
Dear Meliforme, the Analytical and the logical. Thanks so much great man. 🤝🏽🫶🏽

TheSuperNerd:
Thought I warned you all to note the name down.

Next time, pay closer attention.

Gift Orban is indeed our next big scoring machine. His shooting volume is crazy and the accuracy of his shooting even crazier.

Enjoy his rise.

Calma and watch things unfold...

Hi everyone seems Supernerd sadly lost his dad recently. Please anyone close to him do kindly reach out to him. Comfort and condolences to you Supernerd aka doc.

Samueltemi337:
And why exactly are you telling me this?
did I say Nwakali was better?

komekn:
I will not say you are illiterate nonetheless, you simply have no idea.

I was going to post a few videos of Olise and Eze to give some of indication of their mercurial and unique talent.

But I cannot find any videos in recent times of anything about Nwakali, too many of Eze and Olise. I guess it's because they have too much in thier skill set to rely on long ball.

Danielnino00:
I won't take the hyping too serious.. Nwakali isn't the first player that Thegoodjoe and Thesupernerd particularly have hyped well here.. It even appear more like encouragement than hyping... Players like Iheanacho and Osimhen were in such position when they were going through a rough phase in their careers.. Myabe because Nwakali own is taking too long that's why people find the hype annoying. But I can assure you, it's not just on this thread... I remember vividly after that Atletico Madrid game, so many fans on social media were clamoring for Nwakali to be in the world cup squad based on that performance.. Even when his name appeared in the AFCON list, there was jubilation in some quarters... Undoubtedly,many people remember how good he was back then ..

I agree, he hasn't hit the heights expected of him, but as far as the super eagles is concerned, especially the midfield, we need all hands on deck...if he was a striker, nobody would care because we have an abundance of strikers now... Maybe if we can land Eze or Oliseh this year, the talks of Nwakali getting called up will die down... Until then, let's not pretend that our midfield needs reinforcement and a player like Nwakali could be of help ..

When we were badly in need of a goalkeeper,Rohr went to the Spanish third division to fetch Uzoho...he also got Okoye from the German 4th division.. Jamilu Collins came to provide reinforcement at left back from the German second division too...

Meliforme:
You should have known by now the man Komekn. I am not trying to belittle anyone, Komekn knows very little about the tactics of football, This is very true. There was a time he called Ademola Lookman a traditional winger. It may be that he has heard about the traditional winger role, and then decided to mix up Ademola Lookman with the traditional winger role. This and many more made me realise the man that Komekn is.

Komekn should do more of learning than talking.

TheGoodJoe:

This Ethan Nwaneri is not a dictator/conductor. You are just wasting time attacking Kelechi Nwakali, then end up exposing that you don't even understand the role of a midfield conductor.

Falling down in life is not the end of a man and no matter how much you try to paint a player bad, he can still pick himself up.

Your negativity against Osimhen, Iheanacho, Sadiq and others did not stop them from growing.

Your post of Ethan Nwaneri goes into the list of gaffes of yours.

Finito.

No data on the effect of long ball. Finito

do4luv14:
Of all players why Nwakali Why

codemaniacs:
You guys forget that Nwakali is playing in a country that prioritizes midfielders and midfield play so the indigenes will be 1st to be considered before anyone else... even Ramon Azeez had his own issues...

I think the best country for Nigerian midfielders is Belgium and Denmark and it also depends on the coach.... Mikel had issues with Conte and had to leave... Since Mikel, Bonke, Frank Onyeka, Ndidi and Iwobi have been the only Nigerian midfielders playing in top 5 leagues and even Iwobi position has been changed by several managers and Iwobi also has his struggles with different coaches since leaving Arsenal..

Nwakali has a skill-set of through passes, corner kicks, long passes that can bring out the best in the Super Eagles strikers and that's why he is needed in the team...

Against Tunisia he created a one on one opportunity for Sadiq by making a through pass to Sadiq which Sadiq missed. Now imagine if it was Osimhen , Lookman, Moffi or Ihenacho receiving that through pass and how we could have equalized...

football is a game of creating chances/opportunities and taking those chances. Nwakali can create chances that can put S.E 1 or 2 goals ahead and the entire team starts defending that lead at least that's what Morocco did anytime they scored the first goal that made them reach the Semi-Finals of the World Cup..

Against Ghana, there was no player to create chances for the Strikers, Moses Simon was trying to dribble everyone, Chukwueze wing was un-used...

Against Portugal, the same issue, no player to create chances for the strikers...

two players S.E needs and are not liked on this thread are Nwakali and Chidera Ejuke...
