Yup. Their soccer pitches are definitely up to standard unlike most African countries. I just can’t understand why other African countries, besides Morocco and South Africa, can’t maintain a good soccer pitch.

Anyway, the boys have no excuse not to win on Saturday.

Is because the people that are supposed to be cutting the grass with cutlass or lawn mower have all left for greener pastures abroad, for example the two of you currently discussing

The list includes Iheancho also and I believe so well that comes the end of this season, players like Awoniyi and maybe Ejuke will be added to this list and next season, Maduka and Onyeka might join also

Awoniyi is not good enough at the moment to be in that list.

Ejuke needs to move to a bigger league where he can become a Saint-Maximin (who was at Nice some years back dribbling as he is now but no one knew him then because Ligue 1). Same with Moffi.

I personally rate Sadiq higher than all our strikers except Osimhen. He showed his quality right from the Olympics at 19. I have a feeling that he will be the next Nigerian attacker to make a big money move. Guy is pace + finishing + football sense combined into a large frame. If he can work on using his strength well, he could be a young Ibrahimovic.

Let's be honest.

If this was down to fans and judges, no Nigerian will make the starting eleven.

Our team hasn't been inspiring and its affecting the profile of our players in Africa

Not hating...I love Osimhen but do other Africans rate him highly?

Which bench will it be hard to make??

There's 3 Nigerian players on that list...

Bros, do other Africans rate our guys as high as we do?

Left to me, Ndidi and Osimhen will start comfortably

However, no Nigerian would make CAF MVP top ten because Nigerian players are not that highly rated in Africa

I didn't say Awoniyi deserve to be in the list right now, that's why maybe at the end of yhr season and he can be in the list at the end of the season if he scores up to 25-30 goals in all competition this season... He has scored more than 10 already if I am not mistaken

Yeah, I also rate Sadiq and Moffi very high but right now I am worried about Moffi because he doesn't score anymore, if I am not mistaken he hasn't scored in his last 5 league games of more

Yeah, Ndidi will so make the list and if Osimhen continues the way he has started this season, Osimhen will make Caf top 3 list at the end of the season. Can you move ahead with your negativity about Nigeria and Nigerian players now?

Liberia vs Nigeria: Why Ighalo Should Start Ahead Of Osimhen On Saturday.
Praizz

Former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo was called up to the Super Eagles for their last two World Cup qualifying games against Liberian and Cape Verde.

The 32-year-old striker announced his retirement from the National team after the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt where he was awarded the Golden Boot after scoring 5 goals in 7 games for the Super Eagles.

However, the former Premier League striker is currently plying his trade with Saudi Arabia club Al Shabab, and he has already scored 9 goals in 11 games for them so far this season.

Nevertheless, Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen stepped up and secured the number 9 spot in the Super Eagles team following Ighalo's retirement, and he has been doing extremely well in that position. And due to how good he has performed for the Super Eagles in recent years, fans would want him to start against Liberia ahead of Ighalo on Saturday.

But I suggest that it would be wise for Gernot Rohr to start Ighalo ahead of Osimhen on Saturday, and I have my reasons for saying this.

Why should Ighalo start ahead of Osimhen on Saturday?


1. Osimhen's recent injury scare: Osimhen suffered a muscle strain in training in October, that saw him miss Napoli's next two games against Salernitana in the Serie A and Legia Warszawa in the Europa League.

He then returned to action in Napoli's 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona where he played 87 minutes of the game. And I think it would be wise to rest him from the start on Saturday and later introduce him in the second half.



2: Ighalo's current form: Ighalo has been on a red hot form for Al Shabab this season, scoring 9 goals in 11 games. So it would be wise to start him in the game to allow him to continue with his good form in front of goals. He is also a big striker as far Super Eagles team is concerned, and as Gernot Rohr has decided to recall him from his retirement, it would be nice to start him as far he is in good shape/foam to start.



Photos: Google.
Ighalo has scored 16 goals in 35 games for the Super Eagles before his retirement, and it will be interesting to see him in action for the National team once again after 2 years

On current form and overall performance, osimehn is Africa best 9 and it will be absolutely ludicrous to bench him for ighalo. Ighalo is here to do similar things that he did at man utd
