Qualities highlighted previously of Terem Moffi still remains the best to pair Osimhen. To me, Terem Moffi. He his Strong, Quick, technical, SKillful and left footed. He can operate on both wings and from behind the main striker. Osimhen plays better when he his attacking from the right. He his right footed.

Nice analysis sir. However, I think pairing based on strong foot as stated in your last sentence is only done for the central defenders. As for the other qualities you highlighted, Boniface possesses those and currently, he is doing better than Moffi. This is why Boniface is getting the 'raves'.

Kog45:
Oga Mostob I think sometimes we need to go to the beginning of a discourse to know why all these comments.

TheSuperNerd came up with a list and expectedly there would be reactions in a football house…Initially I wanted to ask why not Awo! oh yes Awo is out injured but big question why is Osimhen who is out too but TheSuperNerd had a point cuz he based his list on the last two friendlies,so no way for Awo on the list.

Forgiveness engage TheSuperNerd in a very easy discussion,which I see as opinions but Humility gave a jibe which was going toward tribalism and i said I thought we have outlived this tribalism cancerous.

At the end the jibe became reality.

Now to issue of Boniface,do you agree that Boniface is miles ahead of Awo?and I asked Chris,if Boniface is miles ahead then are you saying he is better than Osimhen?

Miles ahead I will never agree but if one say Boniface is better,cool but all these are what?football talks that must be respected.

Honestly good to have these guys cuz some years ago we only counted on Ighalo and Iheanacho

Elder Kog sir.. This is quite simple.

1. It was Nerdie's list. Anybody can come up with his own list.


2. Awoniyi was not in the equation because he was not available for the last friendlies due to injury.


3. Awoniyi do get his deserved praises her on this thread. Nobody will just put him aside without any reason when the talk about Afcon squad arises here.


4. Humility didn't in anyway mention tribalism. He said something about political talk.


5. The intent of the Forgiveness was well understood by most of us here because it was so glaring.


6. As for who is more technical, this is not done in any way to bring one player down. Since we are using a 2-man strike force, it is highly important that we choose the best pair that is complementary. This is where we dissect each players strength and weaknesses. Nacho, Sadiq and Boniface are quite flexible which set them up in a group. Osimhen and Awoniyi are target men. The 'bullish' ones . Tactically, it is not advisable to pair them together since they are quite similar. Saying Boniface and Osimhen is our best pair doesn't put Awo down in anyway. In short, Awoniyi is in competition with Osimhen for that half pair of the twin strike force.

Jodera:
Lol, this is not making mouth na. He's just being honest.

You know match is by Saturday and most of our players will be coming in Wednesday and Thursday. They'll need to rest. Then Fri, they'll head up to Stamford bridge and that's where they will train

True..

Akinbahm:
Evening famz, unpopular opinion from a Man u fan who said and I quote "the pass laid by sir Kai Kai, he's meant to turn and make attempt on goal but his lack of confidence and or him not stepping up his game forced him to play simple by laying the pass to Nelli"... I need u all take.

DaveP made same statement and we argued on it recently. To me, he made the best decision. Martinelli was well positioned so why make things complicated.

Arteta on if the team has trained yet;

"No, no we haven't and we don't intend to, it's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge we will train there"

#arsenalfanaticsnews













The first time Arteta would be making mouth. We better win if not eh

Roland17:
Aje I Dey tell you. I wish Arteta go use vex unleash the boys on them.

But Chelsea get decent players sha especially in Midfield. Enzo, Gala and Caicedo are solid trio honestly.

Jodera:


I just wan see Partey, Odegaard and Rice.
And make God bless us, Saka is passed fit.


Chaiii

Martinelli and Partey ready to go. My fear is Gabu....Man must be exhausted.

charlesemeka85:
one day he won’t know when he will post that

Just remain vigilant cus it will surely happen. Na just matter of time

Odunayaw:
What is this

Bench is bench no matter where. If you are not playing consistently, no callup. No double standard

than others.'

Danielnino00:
You dey mind am?
Somebody that constantly put the thread on lockdown with agendas of Kayode and Ajagun being better than what we have?

Even Osimhen, we remember how he never rated him back then...


He is just building up unnecessary argument that will make it look like people here dont rate Awo ..

I always knew that's where he's going. But he knew deep down it would be so dumb to make such statement.

charlesemeka85:
the other factor na tribalism
Mk I mention am

My hand no dey o

Odunayaw:
Thank God for the relative anonymity of NL because putting a face to this mudfights enn

Who just talk this things
*runs to dp and sees middle aged man*

And the person wey dey threaten to beat you na one Mummy's boy wey still dey prepare for waec. ;

forgiveness:
My point stands. Statically speaking, Taiwo is far above Boniface.

Don't come here and start your propaganda Boniface is better.

If Boniface is better then he's better than Osimhen

Some hypocrites who didn't rate Bundesliga when Awoniyi was shutting down their mouth have suddenly began to rate Bundesliga because of agenda.

The reason the national team has not achieved beyond its potential.

Why are you scared to say Awoniyi is better than Osimhen then? Just say it so we can arrive at your point and move on.

zoboizee:
Apologies. It's being modified.

Alright Chief..

Just to fuel one baseless agenda that arose from sentiments and other factors I don't want to mention, it is funny how Boniface is now being excessively dissected. Someone that just got recognized back to back?

Odunayaw:
If this was a physical space, all an outsider will hear is yells and screeching.

Cat fights and this thread

The funny thing is that the source of the argument is always funny. Arguing on little things.

zoboizee:
The statement in bold is what have observed about Boniface. Sometimes a simple pass would have given his teammate opportunity to score but instead he would be twisting and turning or just shoot at goal. That's why he has so many shots at goal but mostly off target. He has the abilty to make lot of assist with his skillset. He needs to understand the need to pass the ball when his team mates are free in the box if he his closed down. Against Mozambique, a nod back to Umar would have led to a goal but he chose to tamely nodded to the goalkeeper (we can check Basco's video and any of Bony's highlights). In Leverkusen, they create lot of scoring chances, they are constantly moving into space and releasing the ball. Without him, they will still score lot of goals. But he brings a different dynamics, he is a striker who plays as a 7/8/9/10/11. I believe once Patrick schik is back to full fitness, Boniface will end up on the wings because he lacks that cut edge finishing.

I'm not sure we watched the same match. It was actually the other way round. Sadiq was the one who nodded straight at the keeper instead of directing his header towards Boniface.

The way all these agbero boys dey brag eh.... a 1-0 win for us won't be enough.

Joebie:
Person for ur CIRCLE talk something you no go address the person directly?

U go social media dey post rubbish. Anyway na small boy. E never get sense. Although some grown ups they behave like that lol

Na why I read and Waka pass.... all those epistles na damage control.

Emmy450:
I disagree, the male football comes with so much explosiveness and power, she can't match that to be frank..
omo man na man oh ..

I know but this Chiamaka is up to the task. Imagine the Calibre of saves Chiamaka is making..compare it to the 4 goals we conceded in this last friendly with the dongo wey we put for post.

Super Eagles can field Nnadozie and nobody would believe na female we carry put for post.


Even physicality-wise, Chiamaka sef nor small...

Only if FIFA would allow it.

Laslas dem go yab me or my online moniker, it's left for me to control my reaction . Laslas the yabbing no go give me food or remove food from my table

Amedino99:
it's not as if we gave him his invite based on his fantastic performance in a top league or anything like that. We needed a goal keeper desperately at that period and he was available. Reverse the situation and that brother probably wouldn't have seen an eagles invite till he retires.

True....

AndSunGorilla:
I tell you, but some bois dey do good, dem.dey dash their ogas money!!!

You go fit finish wetin you wan start so?

Amedino99:
he was scouted from the fourth division of the German football league system. He turned out as expected imo.

You are technically correct bro.

daveP:
Uzoho na Honey Badger.

You carry a large % of the blame on why we no go WC he still had the guts to sit down dey follow us drag aspa na bbnaija star hin be. He think say na one NNL team he dey. He forgets he's repping 200m people. He can't even make the XI wherever he is and he is talking about if e easy make we come do am. Badger!!!


I think we are at a junction where we have to turn to the NPFL and take a goalie or more. Infact, things are so so bad almost everyone is clamoring for it right now. That says alot about representation from those in Europe. If only Ezenwa dey.

As things stand, we have half a dozen to test run and choose from in this very NPFL. They're good.

Man doesn't know what naija fans can do sha.


To think there was a time we were complaining that Ezenwa was not good enough due to his height. Now that we have NEPA pole as our GK, everything went from frying pan to fire.

komekn:
From what I know 100%

Good then. TBH, I also feel he would be willing to play for us. His competitors in that Three Lion's squad are quality.




BTW, if he no later gree play for us, don't come here and blame NFF o saying they didn't go along with Akpu and Ofe nsala that is why Arthur declined our invitation.

Kog45:
What do you expect from a primary school student that jumped secondary and entered university.

Na Carry over straight.

Kog45:
Eze would have been a great addition to our midfield.

Well...Elder Kog, it is your opinion and I humbly respect that. Cheers

What if Uzoho made all those blunders deliberately. Like I can't believe the GK that put up that great performance versus Man U can't catch a simple loose ball.

Barryseal:
Uzoho is gone for good if this tweet is anything to go by. No ambiguity with the statement. Simple, straight forward, no frills.

Don't bank on it bro. The changes mentioned here may have nothing to do with Uzoho.
