At 22 Ighalo was already a legend in Granada and was playing in Laliga.
But not for super eagles
For now Oshimen is way ahead at 22 already a regular for the national team with over 6 goals

The absence of Ndidi gave the opportunity for Frank to play. I think he can always be back up for Ndidi. He did very well

Osimhen has 7 goals and 6 assists in 13 matches for Nigeria yet we are still looking for a 9?

I think it's 8 goals actually. Nigerians are funny set of people. Ighalo all of a sudden is now the benchmark for strikers in the SE. Haba how many goals ighalo even score for super eagles??

I'm an Ighalo fan like you. But easy with the Legend tag na. Shuu.


If Moses and Ighalo fit enter this team again, I'd be happy. But most here won't like the sound of that. Only Ekong, Musa and Balogun are the oldest in the squad right now. Says alot. I won't mind having 5 older players.

But easy with Legend tag.

i want to be sentimental a bit here. Ighalo scored some very important key decider goals for the SE.


I dunno how you'd rank an African 9 though, but knowing how disappointment trail qualifiers for big teams, i won't mind taking key goals over many unimportant goals. Don't get me wrong. Its the same way Mba gave us a key goal that gave us Afcon, that's my angle.

if that's the case, we both can throw the tag around for other former SE stars that outperformed Ighalo. Very well then.

Everyone here knows that 442 has never worked for us.

It is either 433 or 352.

I hope Rhor won't use that 442 again. It is killing the team. If you want to use Iheanacho by force, then use 352

Iheanacho and Musa added nothing of notes to the midfield!
Our midfield going forward should be Ndidi, Frank and Iwobi. Chuz, Ejuke and Oshimen in attack.
Musa added nothing yet provided the assist for the first goal yet Ejuke was brought in, Entertain us without any goal. Musa must surely go to the world club, he has not disappointed in a Green White Green shirt, It remind me of German podolski who continue getting national team call up even when not playing for club. Shittu perform without having a team in 2010 nationals club.

Bro, how did you come about this analysis?
There's so much emphasis on efficiency and athleticism to the extent that dribbling is considered a waste of time. Instead of dribbling one, two, three players, coaches expect players to pass the ball. Read the articles in the links below

And if that’s not the case for other former SE stars?

Ighalo is a Granada’s legend. How can this be throwing around tag when it’s the fact on ground?

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.

https://guardian.ng/sport/air-peace-now-eagles-carrier-as-nff-signs-n500m-deal/

Well my brother I might just wanna agree with you but they are not really paying them directly for using their airline,I followed the event where the deal was signed and amaju said the sponsorship actually reduce the money being spent on airlines to transport the player that they are paying for a better service for a reduced cost,what am saying actually is NFF is still paying airpeace for player's transportation at the end of the day if they meet up with some particular target that might give them some bonus for example if they use the airline for some particular time they might give them some particular discount for example if they're using the airline for like 10 times they might give them bonus for using the airline they might just pay for the ticket of 13 player instead of the whole 23 this was what the whole deal was all about, there were no part in the deal that was monetary all was actually SERVICE based my brother.

BOOOMNAIJA:
See, guys.... nothing spectacular about these eagles.

One man singlehandedly won this match for us....that's Leon balogun (scored d first goal and created opportunity for d second goal wen from one of his forward runs, he won the throw-in that led to d second goal)

He brought in passion...passion naturally enacted by a white or mixed race person to win at all cost or right his wrongs by all means....same passion that immediately leaves/eludes a young black African immediately he see a few dollars to pocket.

Watch d match again...apart from osimhen and ejuke no other player had same passion to cut a nerve to excel....they were all idiots as usual.

Rohr might no really be our major problem....the players are.

They lack d zeal to excel..they lack impetus... motivation....and ultimately, PASSION.

watch these players play for their European clubs and compare to how they play for their country....forget about formation adopted by d coach...even a Guardiola cannot make much impact on these spineless chickens...

Something is missing.

The team needs a psychologist...when last did our dear eagles av a seasoned psychologist to work with them?...

Then we need a thoroughbred no nonsense captain(someone in d mould of Rigobert song)

Look at Iheanacho critically....compare him to his early days...

Look at onyeka and aribo and compare wat they play in d national team to wat they play in their clubs.

Look at Simon Moses and watch how he plays in d french league...u won't be far from d truth if u say a spell has been cast on him immediately he dorns d green white green.

Inasmuch as I would blame the coach to an extent...I will put more of the blame on d players...they lack the zeal to perform wen they dorn d national colours.


TO BE CONTINUED......
thank you,I know this long ago

So because shittu performed without having a team , then maybe we should be calling players who are bench warmers grin

And yes musa will surely go to the world cup, But we should qualify first
