They have already pointed out to you that the team is experienced enough...Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo, Ndidi, Iwobi, Uzoho, Osimhen, Onuachu, Simon,Musa and nearly all the core members of the team have AFCON and world cup experience already.. What else are u looking for?

Did Ighalo himself have any world

Did Ighalo himself have any world cup or AFCON experience before he was chosen to lead the line for us during the tournaments??


Your have no point here..
His logic is simple. Experience = Victor Moses and Ighalo.

I found this video on Youtube and decided to share.
Ejuke showings so far in the league, especially the current league season.
Not every of his displays were shown, for example, his last assist is not in the video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBVfWc8Tl0U

This guy has good midfield and wing play and can be a counter-attacking threat.

I observed the following:

Good dribbling skills.
Holding on to the ball.
Good passing.
Speed.
Good finishing.
Good Vision to spot a free teammate
He just lacks final third effect, and seeing he's a really hardworker, that may soon be solved and tremendous in no time. At Afcon, he can come on and trouble a weakened defence for last 25mins. His style fits Liverpool and Arsenal. I imagine the work Klopp/De Hag will do on his finishing if he comes under them.

Firebrand!!

He was expecting me to.mention neymar.
He undermined aw good he was,maybe becos he played for us..osaze was bold and direct in his play,not minding any player in front of him,
And his end product was top notch cool

Same way some ppu prefers osimhen to haaland,me self prefer osaze to neymar..cos he's football business minded

Though d later is better

Lol our Warri ogogoro drinking NFF chairman and clueless coach would rather ask for a spent force who was never exceptional in his glory days.



By the way, I will reiterate; it is about time Onuachu was dropped for Taiwo and Sadiq to be weighed to see if any of the two would do better

Dribble Less,Score More - How CSKA Moscow Coach Transformed Super Eagles Dribbling Machine Ejuke

Owngoalnigeria

Chidera Ejuke is finally proving right the decision of CSKA Moscow to splash a record transfer fee of over €11m to sign him from Dutch side Heerenveen two summers ago.

The Nigerian struggled in his first season at the club often guilty of holding onto possession unnecessarily which most times killed the team’s attack especially when they want to play on the break.

All of that has changed now under new coach Alexey Berezutskiy, who gave specific instructions to the winger and it has so far resulted in three goals in his last four games. Four in 12 games with two assists this season keeping him on course for his most productive season at the club.

Speaking on the transformation in the way the Nigerian play, goalkepper Igor Akinfeev narrowed it down to his good relationship with the players around him and also his ability to track back and help the team in defending.

“Chidi really improved in many components,” Akinfeev confirmed. – He began to interact much better with Oblyakov, with Zabolotny, with other players. I would like to note that Ejuke also improved in defensive actions, I also consider this moment very important ”.

Known for his dribbling abilities, in September he was rated the best in the league in that regard by Opta with 26 successful attempts five times more than any other player in the league and in the process claimed the award of the club’s player of the month for the second time in a row.

However that ability of his was worked into a more productive spell by the words of coach Berezutskiy who gave specific instructions to the Nigerian to only weave his tricks around the box and not in the centre of the pitch, where the team could be punished if he loses possession.

Also he was told to drift into the middle from his position on the left and it has become one of the strong attacking point of the team as it affords him the chance to move into empty zone, which means he doesn’t need to use his speed or dribbling abilities and it affords him more chance to get a shot at goal.

At 23 years of age, he will likely be on his way out of the league if he sustains or improve on his current form which has also help him cement a spot in the squad of the senior national team of Nigeria.

It's an obvious attempt to create excuses for Rohr..

The team isn't in dire need of experience... It's in need of creative midfielders and a tactically sound coach...

Why Super Eagles need Victor Moses ahead of the 2021 AFCON
pulse.ng
Victor Moses played an influential role when Nigeria won the 2013 African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa and was one of the best players during the 2018 World cup qualifier, his experience may just be needed for the team to excel at the 2021 AFCON and the 2022 World Cup in Cameroon and Qatar respectively come next year.

Victor Moses (Instagram/Victor Moses)
Victor Moses (Instagram/Victor Moses)
The president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has added is a voice to the suggestion from some quarters that the Super Eagles attack needs some experience to complement the energy and power of the young and hungry players in the attack of the Super Eagles.

The Nigerian football supremo confirmed that he is talking to Odion Ighalo and see if he could make a return, but the presence of the likes of Victor Osimhen, Paul Onuachu, Taiwo Awoniyi is in fine form and are capable of delivering the goals if they have a good supply from the midfield, thus making the addition of Ighalo a luxury.

In truth, the team needs an experienced player and the creativity puzzle in the team is yet to be solved, the current form of Victor Moses with Spartak Moscow where he Is has been providing assists and making an impact week in week out make him more desirable in the Super Eagles than a central striker.

Moses will be a perfect fit by creating a creative option for the Super Eagles as he can play through the middle of the wings creating chances for the strikers to score with ease.

The likes of Samuel Kalu, Chidera Ejuke, Moses Simon will still have a lot to learn from Victor's wealth of experience in the game.

The will also help them to grow their game to maturity while they confront Africa and the World in 2022.

Victor Moses announced his retirement from international games in August 2018 having played a total of 37 games and scored 16 times for the Super Eagles, helping the team to win the 2013 AFCON and play In the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Super Eagles can benefit from these experiences especially at the 2021 AFCON in Cameron as well as in the final round of the 2022 World Cup qualifier next year where the presence of experienced players will be more useful.

Based on these Victor Moses can be considered and lured out of retirement as his presence will improve the team if the Nigeria Football Federation are willing to lure any of the retired players of the Super Eagles back to the team.

Italian ways of winning does penalties was with their level of experiences and not luck because they won their last 2 matches to lift the competition with penalties which means other doesn't have same level of luck grace to them laughable go check the way does Spanish player's where playing penalties with school boy errors you can't tell me does Spanish youngersters have the tempo to compose them self at that point of time compere to chiellini and bonucci who both experienced what it been like due to their past experiences playing penalties in same competition.
Penalty is luck. Baggio carried Italy on his shoulders with his sublime skills and rich experience to the finals of USA 94, yet he missed a penalty in such an outrageous manner that was difficult for many to believe.

It's really gonna be organic having a strike force of Osimhen, Success and Awoniyi, not starting at once though.
With Chukwueze and Ejuke on the wings and Ndidi and Onyeka shielding our DM when playing against superior countries. I reiterate that we really need Eze and if Eze changes his mind and becomes available, he would be playing infront of Ndidi and Onyeka. Then we are good to go from midfield to attack
