I agree with you on this. Especially since our players tend to switch off when hyped
Is that your fear, so you don't want your darling players to switch off. First acknowledge their finesse and see if they will commence flopping.

When we tell them a player is class, they suppose it, an overhype.

He has the skills, but most importantly, he has the ambition. Speaking on his duel with Alves, he has been studying how Ronaldo tries to get past Alves, a defender he is going to be up and against, watching some of the clips, the night before, he suddenly stopped and came to the realization that he can do it his own way. This story tells you what you really need to know about Onyekuru. His rate of recovery from injury, and the relative ease at which he adapts himself to new enviroments before putting up his wherewithals on grand display, shows how much of an ambitious player he is. To me this is class.

Oga onyekuru is average despite my support for him I will tell you the truth

Onyekuru is an average player

Average player doesn't mean someone is a bad player .

If omeruo was good in the championship I am not sure if he will lack Epl team even if it's the bottom team

Onyekuru is 21 so give him a break and he is an Everton player ,framed out on loan due to work permit issue

Onyekuru can make Everton team ,because I don't think Bernard is better than him
Onyekuru is not average, Valencia and particularly PSG wouldn't have shown interests if he were. It is the too much expectation placed on him that makes him look like he is average (blindfolds of sentiments) Aside that, I have personally seen his football, that guy's ability to score from a long range, gives me sensations of bliss.

EEGA:
40 career goals in backwater leagues with poor defensive organization.

How come he has played 8 champions league games without a goal or assist?

Onyekuru would have become one of the starters for PSG by now because their new coach like utilizing every player available to him.That would have helped his development also by playing along side Mbappe,Neymar and Cavani.

Or do you think Onyekuru can't bench Di Maria?
Di Maria can bench Onyekuru on PlayStation. LOL

Iwobi is arguably Arsenal's best player against Fulham in their 3-4-1-2 player setup with Iwobi as the CAM.

I don tell them tire say the guy na winger

He even scored more than 20 goals a season when playing for eupen from the wings

Winfred zaha who people see as a good winger has never scored 10 Epl goals a season

Eden hazard scored 13 goals when Chelsea won the league,hazard has never scored 20 Epl goals and we always hear his name ,this season should be one of hazard prolific,it's not compulsory a winger must score like a striker

Lucas Vasquez and co don't score more but people will say they are good ,now onyekuru is scoring and someone here is saying 6 goals in 15 games is bad for a winger ? Are this guys not trolls?

The same onyekuru played 19 games last season and scored 9 goals due to injury
Onyekuru's preferred wing position is the left, and they have not even been playing him there in some of their matches.

I'm not saying Iwobi is a poor player. I'm only saying he is yet to discover his best or most suitable position.
Iwobi is a versatile midfielder than can play both the AM and the AML very well.

I think you are wrong here.

When we played England prior to the WC Iwobi played very well as a RW and even got a goal.He was very creative and the only creative Super Eagle in a match where Regulars Moses and Mikel were anonymous, with Onazi poor.

Iwobi is class.He just needs a decent DMF/ball holder to play behind him.
Good observation. Iwobi is class.

Moses is only good as a wingback at the moment.

Neither Leicester nor Arsenal plays with wingbacks.
Have you been keeping tabs with Arsenal this season, Sead Kolasinac plays his best as a wing-back for Arsenal. Keeping wing-back roles aside, Victor Moses to me is more offensive than Mkhitaryan, Alex Iwobi and Maddison who are finding first team football.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Meliforme: 10:01pm On Dec 30, 2018
I believe Arsenal or Leicester City will reap bountifully, if they consider Victor Moses for a signing, putting into perspective his very defensive and attacking qualities.

Iheanacho was once good enough to be noticed by Pellegrinni.... Even to play under Pep, but how far now?

Kayode was also good enough for Pep's Manchester City at some point, now, he's selling ice cream in Ukraine grin


See, the issue with most Nigerian footballers is that they have no real passion for football. Their only passion is for the money from football, they are like civil servants who work to get paid, not to make any solid impact in their chosen careers.

Now, you can say some are different, but we are yet to see the different ones. Somehow, all the great potential settles into mediocrity undecided
You made a very good observation.

Simy is the best CF we have now, and if Rohr ever starts him, it will be crystal clear.

He is. Which striker is more intelligent than him. Dude is very calculative. Ighalo works very hard, but intelligence with good technics will bring results, and Simy trumps all our CF's because of this, coupled with his physicality and hold-up play.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Meliforme: 5:09pm On Jun 18, 2018
The Super Eagles doesn't have the right personnel for a 4-3-3 formation tactics. The absense of players like Moses Simon and co, made it impossible to play that formation to its full strenght. If Rohr has decided aforetime to stick with this formation, why pack the squad with CFs like Musa, Iheanacho etc.

My friend, if you are becoulded by emotions to remit judgement, I have gone beyond that.

I don't care about what Ighalo played years ago, I am talking about what I saw yesterday which is fact.

You all shouting Ighalo didn't play well. Ok who will play well in that situation?

Na Iheanacho abi na Simy? Well, maybe simy can do well alone yesterday but I don't think Iheanacho will do nada yesterday. Fact.

Read my lips abi na finger again. Iheanacho will do nada if isolated like Ighalo yesterday.

Simy will do little too because he still needs support but Mikel didn't do anything to support or add pressure.

You people should cool down and read match with common sense before you start shouting this player no good.

The ball Ighalo took a weak shot was as a result of no Nigerian player in the box to receive a pass.
Simy is our best striking option.

[quote author=Nedville post=68555983]Compared to players from other countries....they simply don't come close.....its the truth

Iwobi...a player English arsenal fans are begging unai emery to offload due to obvious lack of progress.... is our most creative player...also an england reject

Moses......another England reject is dull and one directional....the Nigerian version of Antonio Valencia or Jesus navas....being Nigeria's best player....when he won't even smell the English team....who themselves are not even FAVOURITES to win the competition shows the kind of players on parade for the super eagles

Ndidi is the only consistent player on the list you mentioned....and even he doesn't perform well for Nigeria

I never heard of simy until the last few weeks before the end of the season...
So Iwobi and Victor Moses are England's rejects. Iwobi that is played out of position in Arsenal. I really don't see the need staging you in equivocals, sentiments will cover your eyes.
