Super Eagles has found a new Okocha.

Chidera Ejuke is the name grin

TheLoneCitizen:
But all these are just paper talk, I have watched Ejuke so much to determine he is more of explosive legs than a creative mind.

No current Nigerian player in the world can create chances for themselves like Ejuke, but to do so for others, he is below average.
For those still screaming that they want Ejuke in the 10, this game is testament of his ability.

He is working on his creativity this season in CSKA, though.

It wasn't annoying and unnecessary. Osimhen was offside . He can't pass the ball to him. His dribbling were top notched. A new Okocha is here.
How they couldn't see the 9 was offside is amusing. He did gift the ball to the 9 moments before that and the 9 blasted over.

Carry your unpopular opinion and get out of this thread.
So, Osimhen can't be criticized?

Damn. undecided Osimhen ain't a bad player. He is good, but he isn't on that level. He is not Africa's best striker.
Are you talking like that to monster kid? Take ya time ooooo. He is the best African striker in Europe right now. wink

We are still lacking an Attacking midfielder.
Ejuke just needs to work on his final decision and that is all.
He could have created goals today.
Musa tried in his capacity.
The defence keep making little mistakes that will be punished.
Cohesion is still an issue as we could have easily scored much more.
That said there seemed to be some urgency unlike the last match.

The ball was blocked by a defender not ballooned
That's right. Let me rephrase it. He ballooned the chance. I think this is better.

Having a forward who can successfully take on defenders time and again is a priceless asset.

Maybe it was just CAR who were poor anyway.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by isan(m): 4:02pm On Oct 10, 2021
Osihmen should have position himself better anytime ejuke is on the ball osihmen was always offside , and that time ejuke did all the work and gave the ball to osihmen what did he do with it ? Yeah he ballooned it

NFF paying him huh Or he is giving NFF discount...abegii let's get it straight ohh
It's a 4 year sponsorship deal that was signed weeks ago. Air Peace is paying NFF to market their product - that being its airline.

For the second match in a row we play better when Iheanacho comes off
Iheanacho is a natural baller and the best that would av happened to Nigerian football in his generation...but like wat is applied to most African players, he has let the dollars he earns in Europe affect his mentality and by extension, his overall physical abilities on the ball negatively...the natural path God has laid down for him to excel has been taken over by sex, ladies and material things of life.

Which attacking Midfielder are you lacking again? Is it until Olise or Ebere eze plays?

Can't you see Chidera Ejuke?

Okocha Reborn?

Ighalo was far better for the SE than Osimhen. Most of the goals Ighalo netted for us were from half or non-existent chances. Apart from that one half-chance Odion missed against Argentina, I defy anyone to show me any other serious blunder he made. Osimhen on the other hand......make I no talk sha before them call me hater. But he needs to sit up ASAP. SE is not a team where a striker will wait to be fed 6 good chances before scoring one.


PS: This is not a call for Ighalo to be called up. His time has passed. I'm just putting matters into perspective.

Osi's weakness is lack of calmness and composure in front of goal, he needs to be less wasteful
Ejuke is a dribbler who can be used if Rohr knows how, his dribbles pull defenders to free others
Aribo needs to know he's the man in the middle and act so
Onyeka will always be a sub to Wilf
Nacho has a lot to do about his style of play
We don't take advantage of our corner kicks, so many but null result
Rohr needs to update his tactics cuz football is far gone

Huge Respect to CAR.
Those guys can defend abeg.
Even Bayern will struggle to score against them.
They are very resilient

Can't Ejuke play that no 10 role?
Can't he be that Okocha we've been looking for up and down ?
cheesy
Ejuke thrives on one-on-one dribbling and he can't get that as a 10

Osimhen is hyped
He is a world class talent on his day, just needs to stop missing easy chances

CAR was less chaotic today and there you go..

We should actually be seeing off games but alas. Rohr's subs today was also brilliant.
The more Ejuke plays, the better he gets.
Iheanacho was decent.
Simon should only be a sub
