Ighalo was the first choice striker and that’s on period ,no need of all this long shalaye because you don’t rate onuachu

Same ighalo you all where insulting at the World Cup because he didn’t impress

An out of form laca won’t do what an out of form auba is going at Barca

And did he impress at the world cup? When someone's argument is not favoring your darling player, it means we're looking down on him or we hate him. That's not an argument man.
The bolded says it all, you don't even understand what you're arguing on. When you said Auba would have benched Giroud at the 2018 WC, na there I know na joke you dey joke.

jpmoriarti:
I have gone to check him out as well. Not bad. Quite good in small spaces and in dead ball situations.

I really like what Xavi is doing here. Pedri,Gavi,Nico,Puig, DeJong and Pablo. All young and talented, barring any injury, this is a great squad.

Descottes:
imagine having a Frontline of fati haaland and demb ele next season.
They will spend so much time bonding in the treatment room lol

You gerrit boss

andrewbaba44:
So anybody that played in a friendly match is fit and can’t get a knock during training? You are very funny

Ighalo was the first choice striker and even a blind man knows this ,if I say you are trying to talk down on onuachu you won’t agree ,firstly it was the Belgian league you saw as a second division now you said he wasn’t good enough when it’s clear ighalo was the first choice ,everyone knows onuachu can’t bench ighalo

You lied that he was a regular but I busted your lies now you are playing the victim here ,using more lies that because he didn’t impress ,once again even a blind man knows ighalo was the one likely to lead the line at that afcon and nobody can bench him

But you are a liar and I will tag you as one ,onuachu was a regular at the 2019 afcon Indeed

What do I expect from someone who says lacazette is on the same level with Aubameyang

Oga argue like a man.
The bolded here doesn't make sense. Who did I said was regular? I don't even understand all you put up there. You kept saying lieing, prove it.
Ighalo got injured against Mikel's team in China but he was fit before the Burundi match. He even said it himself. If your first choice striker(as you claimed) could play a friendly some days before AFCON opener, he is sure to start the first match. And to think that he was subbed in around 75 minute says it all. If Ighalo was benched due to fitness,he would have come on earlier when we needed a goal.
And I never said Laca is in the same level with Auba. I'll take an out of form Laca ahead of out of form Auba.... hopefully you'll understand this

andrewbaba44:
Maduka was never in the team of the year

No come allow people carry one ekuke magazine award come lie for you for here Baba

A lot of sites reported it.
Anyway, if the guy starts against Ghana and he perform well, I will applaud him. But right now, Uzoho should start IMO

andrewbaba44:
Onuachu is not a super eagles starter ,without injury he was supposed to be at last afcon and might play ahead of Awoniyi because of the absence of ighalo and osimhen

Ighalo just recovered and wasn’t fit ,he came in late in the game ,what part of that you can’t understand ?

Ighalo was our first choice striker ,some people was even expecting osimhen to play before onuachu self,onuachu that was still in Denmark then and didn’t even have this current form

You are the one changing mouth and lying they onuachu was a started at the 2019 afcon ,someone that didn’t play up to 90 minutes in total in the whole tournament

Oga, Ighalo played in a friendly match before the AFCON. He was fit. If Onuachu couldn't play up to 90 minutes in that AFCON, it meant he was not good enough that time. Or you think of he had score or at least perform against Burundi,he wouldn't start the next match. You mean a younger Osimehn that was playing in Belgium was expected to start ahead of Onuachu?
Oga, stop using the victim card here by tagging me a liar and argue your point.

andrewbaba44:
Na you dash Maduka best GK for eredivisie last season ?

Not really sure but I knew he won award.
He was his club's beat player and he was in the team of the year.

andrewbaba44:
How many of your super eagles striker impressed in their first competitive game ? Mention them

Ighalo was the first choice striker weda onuachu impress others not

The osimhen that played against Tunisia did he impress

Now you changed the talk ,go and lean the meaning of a first choice striker if you don’t know the meaning or stop bringing lies here as if I don’t watch football .

So we should have given Onuachu another chance to start another match in a tourney?
You're the one changing mouth here. I told you Ighalo was fit and ready before the Burundi match, why then did Onuachu start?

andrewbaba44:
Is uzoho even playing for his club ?

Maduka was the best goalkeeper in eredivise last season (isn't it?) yet he couldn't tame ordinary shot at AFCON. If Uzoho is fit and ready, he should man the post.

BoomBucks:


For the first time I think I can decode this one. The next Pedri does not mean Marko Marin being called the next Messi or Luka Romero being called the Mexican Messi because he can dribble, from Argentina, long hair and is left footted with pace to burn and many other failed "Messi wannabe" by the media

New Pedri is figurative which means a low cost player with potential to be world class playing in the lower division, midfielder and may be from Spain just like Maestro Pedri.

I've seen his (Torre) highlights, he's okay just like kids his age but I'll wait till he gets there. I'm not so hype up for him but I hope he can become world class for us.

I hope we don't get distracted(underate) and win at Elche

It's Focus Season!!!

omo...we even get football programmer and coding expert here. Barca thread na your mate

Descottes:
Bild~ Erling haaland ruled out till next month after suffering injury relapse.

can we just look elsewhere please. The guy is talented no doubt but his reoccurring injuries are worrisome.

jpmoriarti:
I don't know who he is though.

Welcome all the same.

Same name with Gavi, he take style resemble pedri.
Ladies and gentlemen,the man you've been waiting for, Pedri+Gavi rolled into one.

dkay51:
If dem no cry how else thread go full?

Joebie:
Another one

Now this is what I call a flexible formation. Bassey here is the one who make it flexible. Nice line up but I'll prefer Uzoho.

andrewbaba44:
You don’t need to sing praises

Stop lying that onuachu was a starter at the 2019 afcon ,is that too much to ask ?

After onuachu started the game against Burundi playing 70 + minutes which other game did you see him start ?

Because he couldn't impress. If your first choice striker played 70 mins with nothing to show for it and then the next striker came in and scored 4 minutes later, you start the one who scored at the last match. You know why? Because it's a tourney, no time for experiment. Why didn't Onuachu replaced Ighalo against Tunisia then instead of Osimehn?

Icon79:
Okay then, let’s wait and see whether Dennis will start ahead of either Osihmen or Ighalo.

Trust me, our strikers against Ghana are going to be Osihmen and Ighalo. Dennis will start on the bench.


O pari

Dennis is a winger ... He is not competing with Ighalo and Osimehn.

andrewbaba44:
Onuachu started only against Burundi because ighalo wasn’t fully fit ,how can a first choice start only one game in a tournament and the rest 3 games aren’t more than 5 minutes

Stop lying to make a point ogbeni ,if you don’t know the meaning of first choice then learn

7 games in a tournament and onuachu starting only the first game so automatically he is first choice

Be calming down with your Lies ,if I say you are talking down on him you will disagree but it’s clear here

Ighalo got injured prior to AFCON but he was fully fit before the Burundi match. He even played part I'm the friendlies .
So because I am not singing the praises of Onuachu to high heavens means I'm talking down on him? This tactic is outdated man.

Danielnino00:
We cane judge until we see the line up..

Don't forget that he switched to 4-3-3 at some points during the AFCON.. So be clearly isn't limited to 4-4-2 like some folks are trying to say...

Yea..let's wait and see

Darkseidxx:
Just die!!

No..he must live to declare the glory of Xaviball

Danielnino00:
You are funny o..
What gave you the idea that Eguavon is still stuck on the 4-4-2?
Just by looking at the list you already concluded that it's 4-4-2 he will use?

I think it is so obvious.

Icon79:
Yup. Is it because he’s not playing in Europe? Ighalo is still a top top player.


O pari

I'm not disputing that Ighalo is a top player. But on current form, Dennis is ahead. Playing on EPL is not the same as playing on Saudi

Joebie:
Yusuf is primarily a CM, but can play DM etc (Versatile, Kante-like) Nwobodo is a DM. Who else in this squad do we have to replace Ndidi. Who to replace Onyeka for example? Since you are saying Amoo and Etebo are the best back-ups at the moment.

It's either one of the forward is sacrificed for either Nwobodo or Yusuf. If Iwobi was not suspended,Amoo may not likely be invited. Ndidi and Aribo will obviously start leaving Etebo and Frank as backups. Should there have been more midfielders? Yes, I agree. Should Nwobodo and Yusuf have replaced Etebo and Amoo? I disagree.

13large:
How in the heck did an inexperienced player like amoo get selected ahead of ejuke or Nwakaeme? People usually get impressed when players impresses at Lower league and will ask for them to replace they ones at a superior league. On current form, amoo isn’t better than Ejuke. Overall, it’s not a biggie. The biggie is lack of enough cm

You're the one advocating for Amoo's inclusion some weeks ago, now Amoo is inexperienced.

andrewbaba44:
You are by talking down on the Belgian league ,trying to put it as a second level with segunda

What I meant is there is not much difference between the opponents both faced in their respective league. If it's other way round, I'm sure you would advocate for Sadiq to be tested in a better league before being called up.

andrewbaba44:
Stop downplaying onuachu by comparing the Belgian league to Spanish second division

If onuachu stats is easy how many of your Nigerian strikers they played at the Belgian league have given you such stats ?

Onuachu first choice striker at the 2019 afcon with ighalo starting more games than him and having more minutes

Onuachu played only 3 games at the 2019 afcon with just 80 minutes ,starting only against Burundi playing 73 minutes ,his remaining 2 games where 3 and 5 minutes but he was the first choice striker while ighalo started 6 games out of 7

Linus mbappe like you

Oga...Onuachu was the first choice. Baba started playing katikati football until he was subbed out for Ighalo who later scored the winning goal. If na you be the coach, you go start Onuachu for next match?

andrewbaba44:
Don’t compare

Second division is second division

If you wanna talk down on onuachu stop going through the corners ,nobody go beat you

You funny .... Who wan beat you?
Nobody is talking down on Onuachu...

JohnBullMySon:
He does not swallow goals every match.

Ok

Joebie:
you want make we start elementary debate abi?

Oga, there is no debate here. Tell me their primary position or move on.
TBH, either of the two should have been invited ahead of Onazi but saying they will replace Etebo and Amoo does not in anyway correlate.

andrewbaba44:
Which lower division is onuachu playing at ?

How many super eagles striker have brought their club form to the eagles apart from maybe victor

How many 90 minutes have onuachu played ?

Same sadiq you guys where insulting at the afcon

Una Kuku get 2 mouth here

oga...show me where I insult Sadiq. Abeg count me out of any excessive generalisation you make here please.

And you're asking me how many 90 minutes Onuachu has played...this is funny. You forgot he was the first choice striker at the AFCON.

Osimehn and Ighalo have brought their club form to the national team.

chrisooblog:
If you followed the discussion and saw the post I was responding to I wasn't downgrading Sadiq's talent. I was disputing the premature claim that he has outperformed all our strikers in Europe this season because of the level he has operating at.

Ok. The bottom line is club performance sometimes doesn't get replicated in the national team

andrewbaba44:
Which lower division is onuachu playing at ?

what ia the difference between Primera and Belgium anyway?

Joebie:
Are you trying to win an argument by converting Yusuf and Obinna to STRICTLY DMs?

But they're DMs now. This is a known fact...
