Are you serious? You’re probably correct because Etebo was injured, but I think we had more than 4 midfielders tho:

Mikel
Iweobi
Ndidi
Ogu
Kalu
Chukwueze, etc.


O pari
We need more options in attacking midfield. The deficiency was obvious against algeria in the nations cup. Of all the foreign born players we need ovie ejaria and or eberechi eze. If we can get kelechi nwakali ill be glad. A team withot midfielders will lack creativity and ball possession

Terem Moffi vs Paul Ohuanachu
Kortirijk vs Genk
Moffi in Kortrijk while Ohuanachu is in genk with Stephen Odey on the bench for Genk.

Match just started now at 8:30pm. Let us see if Moffi (the new Osimhen) will score and what the other Nigerians will do

Keep on quoting stats....
while I live in the real world.
Peeps like you will everyone believe Osimhem is better than mbappe posting irrelevant Stats... Juz like the guy who quoted me up there was saying.
Osimhen statistics are good for his age and he is highly rated by campos who is an internationally reknowned coach and scout. Going by logic he can reach mane or even aguero level.
A lot of good strikers were average at his age

Amokachi has coached in nassarawa united and enyimba and he has even coached in hercules (an european team in Finland). He was assistant to Keshi and Amodu. At least he has some coaching experience and should have been considered ahead of Yobo.
However, there are exceptions to the rule. Some people invent things and even contribute to knowledge without going to university but then you cannot do things based on exceptions and that is where the danger lies.
Innate ability is not enough without some kind of training. How competent is Yobo anyway. Has he been tested anywhere? The decision is funny and Yobo really has to work hard to prove a point.
An exception to the rule is Srinivasa Ramanujan who got a phd in Mathematics in Harvard based on research while he was poorly educated and also Vivien Thomas who performed cardiac surgery without a degree but then again, how many people are like that?
Again you cannot build anything on exceptions

I support it because he seems to have the charisma, leadership ability. Also, he has contacts in Europe and can easily get clubs for our local players with his connections. However, what coaching experience does he have?
This is something that needs to be considered.
He can be our new Samson Siasia and even achieve more than him if he suceeds but again his coaching experience needs to be looked into

Any decent striker like Victor Osimhen or David Neres ( i think he is in Ajax) will bench Anthony Martial. He is too inconsistent and the tragedy with him is that he does have ability. I remember when he came to Manu at 18 and scored against Liverpool.
Anyway, Manu will be the perfect place for Osimhen to shine

charlesemeka85:
Martial have been tolerated enough and should be sold next season. Man united needs a hungry and aggressive striker like osimehn who is ready to lose a tooth just to get a goal.

But he just scored a penalty today

Tolulopefinest:
Osimhen no Sabi play penalty.

Vardy and ndidi might get injured again. He is rushing them back and it might be counter productive
