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.

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 .

TheSuperNerd:
Everyone!!! Get into Basco's channel and watch this.

It's the sweetest football game you will watch this week for obvious reasons.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BREDAS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

5-1!!!! Could have been worse sef. Enjoy!!! 😁🤣

North African's with their speed of thought and good anticipation.
They think faster, and come about their decisions faster.

Meliforme:
No way.

I don't even want to go by the way of stats, because it is very obvious from eye tests that Ogbu is the better passer of the ball.

Please please please, i am not having this discussion with you at all.

We can only discuss duels of the ball etc, because of the quality of the opposition Ogbu faces, aside that we have no discussion, even a player's stats with duels can improve, when the player makes a leap to a league ranked higher, it keeps happening.

At my last paragraph, i talked about winning duels of the ball as something that the quality of a league and of the opposition can largely determine.

We have people who are so eager to display the impatience that has made them slaves to ignorance.

komekn:
Igoh Ogbu spent 4 years in the backwaters of the Norwegian league ranked 16 in Europe he was so good the best he could do was go to the Czech league ranked number 15 in Europe.

When a player has been in backward low quality leagues for 5 years there is reason, very simple he also is low quality and poor.

You cant be playing in a dead league and then compare your statistics with a player in far higher quality league, that is delusional balderdash.

The last time i called you ignorant you deemed it perjorative.
What gets to me the most is your eagerness to parade your ignorance.

Does league quality affect a player's acceleration and speed ?
Does league quality affect the accuracy of a player's long and short passes of the ball ?
Does league quality affect a player's understanding of positioning ?

The aforementioned player qualities has more to do with the player than it has to do with the situations the player finds himself (league quality)

This knowledge is very basic to anyone involved in football, but Komekn that talks about his involvements with coaches and academies in England is found wanting. I salute you Komekn the impostor.

Those qualities were the highlights of my commendations of Igoh Ogbu. He will show the qualities wherever he finds himself.

charlesemeka85:
u don start with all this hype wey dey vex me 🤣

Because you don't want to be disappointed, right?

charlesemeka85:
oga no Dey lie. Ogbu doesnt hv better passing ability than Tosin Adarabioyo

All this your positioning and other attributes you post here will only be confirmed when he debuts and play some games for the national team

He is just a prospect who has the abilities to get better. If he is as good as you are painting here with world class attributes em for no tey for Norway. Tosin and Uduokhai are better than him

Can’t say of torunarigha,awaziem and omeruo.

Mk una easy for hype Abeg

No way.

I don't even want to go by the way of stats, because it is very obvious from eye tests that Ogbu is the better passer of the ball.

charlesemeka85:
all you mentioned what made you think Ogbu will bring better quality in the super eagles CB position than them?

I believe the last you watched Ogbu play was at the u20 World Cup years back 😂

Igoh Ogbu is the most balanced of all the CB's we currently have, both capped and uncapped.

When it comes to pace, only Bassey and Torunarigha are ahead of him.
Igoh Ogbu's distribution of the ball is the best of all our CB's.
His duels, interceptions of the ball are among the best.

The main reason why i rate Igoh Ogbu, is his positioning.
We have CB's that are normally caught off, when it comes to positioning and we have paid sorely for this.
In my appraisals of our CB's, Ogbu's positioning is the best.

Truidstar:
Bro… why e be say na players from a certain part of the country you always push and clamor for? You analysis is always on point….. but that is your weakness.

That is not true, but i don't see anything wrong in clamoring for players from a certain part of the country if you are impressed more with players from those parts, and if your good impressions come with good reasons that borders on football.

If you have the time, go through my posts to see for yourself that your appraisal was probably done in a haste.

charlesemeka85:
what makes you think Ogbu will be more of an upgrade that the trio you mention?🥱

Which of the trio:

Adarabioyo, Torunarigha, Uduokhai.
Omeruo, Balogun, Awaziem.

BankyGee:
Happy birthday 🎂 to me guys ❤️!

Happy birthday, BankyGee.
More life to you.

charlesemeka85:
what about Igoh Ogbu?

Among the S.E hopefuls, only Igoh Ogbu has what it takes to actually nail a place in our starting eleven, aside Omeruo, Balogun and Awaziem, not all these Adarabioyo, Torunarigha, Uduokhai, that are nowhere an upgrade to what we already have.

I know many of you will be surprised at the names i rated below lgoh Ogbu, but it is what it is.

We have a CB in Igoh Ogbu.

komekn:
I really don't know what people like Omeruo are doing in the team.

There is a reason why he has been a journey man player always at poor quality clubs and even lower leagues.

Many people commend him here but I've seen him make so many routine mistakes it's incomprehensible how he has remained in the SE.

List the routine mistakes.

Which Super Eagles defender should be invited to take his stead

elyte89:
I don’t knw y majority is not getting dis guy point…what he’s saying is if we re facing d likes of São Tomé,car and co we don’t need to parade our full strength team b4 we can defeat dis kind of teams with ease…we shld be able to have a kind of team b(mixed of foreign and local based players dt can easily execute such matches wout hassles .

If u look at it on d oda hand,it’s more embarrassing parading ur full team to teams ranked above 100 in fifa rankings,yet getting flogged in ur home. We av seen several cases like dt😀

You think it is easy communicating tactical instructions to many of these players on the local scene.

You may not understand how difficult it is, monitoring players on the local scene to gain good understanding of how they play.

Having players who play together for a long time helps team chemistry regardless of the quality of the opposition. If we are planning on working with players on the local scene, it shouldn't be different names every time.

wayodude:
Our attack is World class
Midfield is African class
Fullbacks are competent class
Centre backs and goal keepers are ... invisible submarine class

We focus a lot on our midfield shortcomings but I think we are better in midfield than at Centre back and GK. That's why there really is no spine to this team.

Oh and was it only me that heard the Sierra Leone goal keeper and one of their centre backs were 18 years old. We should fear God more in Africa sha.

As things stands, our midfield is the poorest.
Poor not only because of personnel selection, but in how they are told to play.

Amedino99:
idk sha.that ball entered because Chahanoglu moved to the wrong side. But you are correct about ndidi Sha. Ndidi would have never hit the ball with the side of his boot. I'm not sure there is still hope for ndidi.

There is hope for everyman alive, let alone for Ndidi whose future is very bright.

Joebie:
You are absolutely right.. he did something right the season that just ended, and we will see him in top flight action soon.

Yes, we will.

Kog45:
Real Nigeria CF are

Victor Osimehn
Taiwo Awoniyi
Terem Moffi.

Gift Orban is ahead of Osimhen in certain aspects of the game.
But for three reasons i rated Osimhen over him.
And who says i will not rate Orban over Osimhen in the offing.
Let Osimhen reign for now, it is his time.

charlesemeka85:
remove iheanacho abeg

No, he deserves his place.

TheSuperNerd:
Gift Emmanuel Orban: Belgium's Most Valuable Player on the Market Today

From 1Million euros Value in January 2023 to 20million euros Value in June 2023. Crazy leap.

According to Fresh Figures released by Transfermrkt, Gift Orban is now Valued at 20Million Euros and is Belgian Pro League's Number 1 player of Value going into the summer of 2023.


He has only been 4-5 months in Belgium and is already their most valuable player on the market. INSANE IMPACT AND RISE.


So if you hear Gent quoting 25million euros on the lad, don't scoff. He is worth it. You need to remember how much Jonathan David went for and he played for same Gent.



Note: Victor Boniface is valued at 12million euros according to Transfermrkt and is 7th most valuable in Belgium.

That Belgian Midfield Wonder, Arthur Vermeeren (18) who somehow displaced Midfield Sultan, Yusuf in Antwerp's Midfield is valued at 17 million euros. 2nd most valuable in Belgium.

In my own reckoning i believe our three best options in the CF position are thus:
Victor Osimhen.
Kelechi Iheanacho.
Gift Orban.

skallion7:
Crap list, what happened to Nathan Tella to not being invited
Musa and Omeruo needs to excuse themselves from SE and as for Moses Simon, that one will fade off like Samuel Kalu

Kenneth Omeruo is easily the number one in the list of the invited central defenders.
If he doesn't start, then it might be down to injury.

BascoVanVeli:
Ejuke will be fine. He will find another club outside Russia. Loans are very hit and miss

Thank you.

typicalgamer:
Ndidi is a one trick pony a DMF of older pattern of football.
Why his physicality and aggression remains top notch

His ball carrying, control, forward pass are all primitive teams would love to have him but not English top teams

I will reply this again, after Ndidi leaves Leicester and is seen playing for any other club.
But hear this, Ndidi was brought to Leicester as a replacement for Ngolo Kante.

Marjoribanks:
Napoli has been inquirying about Ndidi since January. Leicester City wanted to sell this summer that was why they rushed his comeback. Unfortunately he is not over the injury and he is back injured. I just hope the injury stuff will not affect Napoli decision. Remember they got Anguissa when Fulham relegated. They also believe Ndidi's presence might just make Oshimen to stay.

This is good.

Papi85:
not really just that he lost form and I hope he bounces back to his best

He was for a period of time rated as one of the best DMs in Europe’s top 5 leagues and attracted interest from the duo of Man United and Atletico Madrid

Wonderful.

daveP:
Napoli are on Ndidi o

This is good.
