Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m):
In the twilight of Zidane's career, he did drop into more central Midfield roles and did execute it sometimes throughout the course of his playing career but he was predominantly an AM/CAM.
A Complete Central Attacking Midfielder.
And even throughout his last WC back in 2006, he functioned from the CAM role and was the team's Playmaker even in that role.


And yes, our Super Eagles need a lad who can dictate the rhythm of our plays in the middle and that is the reason I keep dropping names like Kelechi Nwakali, Alhassan Yusuf (both as deeplying playmakers and Central Midfield dictators but some don't understand and think the mention of nwakali is sentimental) and even Akinkunmi Ayobami Amoo as a playmaker in the AM role.

You need to watch Amoo. Just take some time and watch this boy and you will see why he should be considered as a Playmaker option in the AM role.

He is not just a lad capable of beating a man with dribbles. He has a fast-growing yet incredible vision and really beautiful incisive and rhythmic passing ability.

Now, we need a Playmaker and we need such to either function from the role of AM or from a deeplying role. because Playmakers are not limited to one role. A team's Playmaker can be either their AM or their Central midfield option/DLP.

That is what informs my player suggestions when our Midfield's ball playing deficiencies is brought up but as
naa Nwakali steal Charlesemeka85's first crush, na dia wahala dey. He no wan hear am at all at all... grin

Me, I just want what's best for the team regardless of who is eventually considered.



12large1:
Zidane was the both. Sometimes, he can play as a pure CM aka deep lying playmaker, while sometimes, he can be pushed forward as an AM. The both players were capable of dictating and controlling the course of a game and this is the type of playmaker that SE is lacking. We’re looking for a playmaker that can dictate, control the course of a game

Don't get it twisted


When a coach is not good enough.... You get a better one. Simple


No be to kill am
Rohr is not doing a "Sexy job" but an efficient one.
Can another coach do better? Maybe Yes.
But why spoil a good thing close to an Afcon?
He may or may not win the Afcon but one thing is certain, we will have a strong template for the next guy to build upon (if the guy no stupid).

I agree with @thegoodjoe on Emmanuel Amunike as a strong candidate.
Nff needs to honor our coaches and pay them WELL!!!!!! Minimum of $50,000 per month with correct back room staff (very important) and explain it to them OH AH!!!! (times go dey wey we go owe una, but we go pay. If you no want go!!!!).

Emmanuel Amunike is a very good coach, the only nigerian coach that has played the 4-3-3 formation well (played Nwakali in the 6 role). He adapt's and set up his team to the opposition.
In the finals against mali, we played lots of long balls from deep cus those malians press real good.
By playing the long balls from deep into osimhen if he loses the ball and they attacked and lost the ball, they were vulnerable to our fast counter attacks. Simple but efficient tactic.

As usual, some of you folks here succumb to the nonsense talks of trolls who don't know the game coz all they do is club banters and "my club player is better than your club player" gibberish.

How is saying Osimhen is the best striker in the Serie A today and is definitely one of the best Strikers in the world "squeezing him in"??

No please, I want you to really answer that.

Experts around Europe are confirming the Quality of Osimhen but you are here talking "squeezing in" as if we are lying about his quality.

And what do you mean by Haaland and Osimhen can't be in the same sentence?? What's that? Aren't both doing well in top 5 leagues?

Didn't Osimhen score as much goals as Lewandowski in all competitions last month?

Why do you think Osimhen has suddenly shot up to the top of most Serie A's analysts' ratings of Strikers despite that league still having Lautaro Martinez, Dzeko, Belotti and Immobile?? ​

Do you know even West Ham legend and Italian football pundit, Paolo Di Canio rates Osimhen above
Lukaku when it comes to Strikers who respond and fight back when the going gets tough? I will post his words soon enough.


So all this one you are talking is just fallacious. Osimhen and Haaland rightly stays in the same sentence today.

Besides Osimhen is the more complete striker while Haaland is simply the better finisher. I have said this before and time is proving me right.


So make una talk another thing abeg. grin

A short reminder of the ratings of the leagues both are performing in... grin One is kinder higher don't you think? Lol

Also, One is clearly more well rounded in the role than the other. While one is just a more deadly finisher but doesn't boast the all round attributes of the other. Simple eye test reveals all these not just numbers.

There is nothing to twist. I have always said it as it is on these lads.

Haaland is a World Class finisher. He hardly misses. He is always in the box or in position to strike. But he still not as well rounded as an Osimhen is in that CF role.

Osimhen is far more complete and just doesn't have the goals numbers because he contributes beyond just goals scoring for the team. He works hard for the team on both parts of the pitch whereas teams work for Haaland and he focuses more on his main business part of the pitch.

This is clear to anyone who watches both without bias. Simple sturvs. How many times do I have to hit this point of balance? Lol

Saying "far better" is truly fallacious and honesty knows this.

Osimehn isn’t on haaland level right now. He only scored 10 goals in 30 last season 1in 3 and this season, he has 8 goals thus far. In the future, he can become as good as haaland but as for now, they’re not on the same level. In order for Osimehn to reach haaland status

1 he should be the top scorer at his league (big 3)
2 he should score at least 20 league goals and 30 goals in all competitions

When he does that, there be a conversation. As for now, let’s allow him to be great

Considering injuries and Covid limited Osimhen's impact last season while Haaland was flying in Bundesliga and the UCL, then I can live with "better" for now. All things considered.

But I insist that Osimhen is a more complete CF than Haaland. That one, I will analyse and over analyse to the depths on a good day. So make no one even take me there. Besides now is not even a good time. wink

I won’t even talk about Haaland champions league record

The only serious arguement I do have here is saying the truth when comparing some of our players to others ,at least I rate osimhen and that should be okay for you guys ,but una want make I talk say Haaland no better pass am when even a blind man knows that Haaland is better

The funny part is that una know the truth for una mind but una choose to deceive una self

Even isak that scored 17 Laliga goals una rate osimhen pass am ,but una see that Haaland make una just stop that nonsense ooo

It is not us rating Osimhen above Isak. It is analysts out there in Europe. It is the atmosphere and wind of change out there in the European game today. Osimhen will cost far more than Isak in world football today, can you tell me why that is so?


Then @bolded... This is not true. You guys need to grow out of this fallacious thinking.

Simy scored 20 last season. I guess we placed him above Lautaro and Lukaku and in same class with Ronaldo Abi.... Haba... this angle of argument is becoming stale.

Some of you guys use this line everytime to wipe up sentiments against our players and make what we do on this thread look like delusional nonsense. It is cheap abeg. Find a better argument to make than this untrue take.
