Dennis's Strengths far outweigh his weaknesses, and this is what makes him the best winger in the Super eagles right now

Dude is a fine reader of the game, quick at picking up the flight of the ball, and aware of his teammates’ tendencies. These qualities have guaranteed that he is in the right places at the right time to help his team with his goalscoring touch.

He is always aware of the positioning of his opponents inside the box, and the rate at which he finds separation, within the 18-yard box, to be an option has been fascinating to watch. He can sniff out the ball watchers or the preoccupied before making them pay by moving into the empty areas and making them an option.

Another major threat of the menacing hornet is his ability to run in behind, his blistering pace is employed not only to gain ground but also to intelligently time his runs. As a result, if there’s a gap and the ball is on a teammate’s preferred foot; he moves with swiftness to get a jump on his man.

Lastly, as an astounding dribbler, his unique technique, pace and agility keep his opponents constantly guessing and makes him a challenging adversary to contend with. Opponents always have to be alert to handle him as he has a solid first touch and possesses a nice repertoire of moves that include shimmies, fake shots, step-overs, passes and hesitation moves.

It’s been a sight for sore eyes to see how he protects the ball under pressure and weaves away from danger with his great physique and balance. As mentioned earlier, his 5 assists so far highlight what a competent passer he is. He has provided his running teammates with an array of passes, from balls on the ground or air, to accurate crosses and cutbacks as well as some nifty layoffs.

Dude looks like a complete forward as he can easily fill in on both wings and also from the middle as he did yesterday

he does better on the wings he can assist from that position nd also score

Simon plays better as a left winger, but in GWG, he mostly plays as either right winger or right wingback.

Rohr wants him defending more than attacking, thus you can't expect same outputs from him for both Club and Country.

The dribble was at the edge of the 18 yard box. Which one is not far away from the center line.

Oga Simon should not be starting games for the super eagles

Simon in the national team over the past few years has been abysmal.. He deserve all the stick he gets.. He isn't the only one being affected by Rohr's tactical deficiency...

And seriously,dead this favorite player talk... Nobody on this thread has so many favorite player in the national team like you do...

Forgiveness will surely make a bad coach

As Simon scored a beautiful goal yesterday forgiveness begin cap

I can accept Simon being invited due to good club form but will never accept him starting games anymore for the eagles

I don’t think anyone creating space for their favorite players is the point here

The player passed to him few meters....okay yards away from center half. Moses collect the ball, ran forward, dribbled 3 players and took a shot. It is a gooooooaaaaaaal!

Was that not the reality of things?

Is currently the second best for now. Oh! I forgot, King Vicmo is back. No Wahala. He will seat or play with the king himself.

Abysmal as a RWB or LW?

All of you have favorite players. Stop pretending.

Simon has done exceptionally well in all the leagues he went to save Laliga were he was converted to a Wing back.

Why is it like that?

How come he is not playing to you People’s expectations in gwg?

Very simple. You coach is playing him out of position and he is playing negative football. Gbam!

Not Simon’s fault.

As a wing back, what do you expect if we play our best wingers as wing backs?

darkelf:
Best winger not striker

Osimhen is our best striker

It may seemingly have passed you by football has moved on.

And the terms winger and striker are no longer as restricted or used as abdolute descriptive terms in football.

The more modern, up to date and encompassing term is " Forward Player". In this regard we may find the roles are interchangeable and evolve in real time as the game is played.

For this reason, Ronaldo , Salah , Mane, Neymar , Mbappe, are all forward players who play a duplicity of forward roles. But simplified in the one term forward player. These are the modern day forwards, play maker, winger, Striker etc, all rolled into one.

This requires a different skill set, even learning curve. Which is exceptional skill and technicality, football intelligence, strength and speed with versatility.

In this regard I rate "Dennis" much higher than any other forward player in Nigeria. He is the numero One in the HERE and NOW, where Nigeria is concerned. He has found a club, league and Manager that has given him direction, focus and upped his applicable skill set for outstanding performance.

Considering Osimhen horrific injury , I would ask him not to compete in the AFCON if l was his adviser. I would also advise Dennis not to either, he is on an uoward trend going to the AFCON may see that trajectory lost.

He did not need National team selection to forward his career. He needs to keep his momentum not loose it and or his place in the Watford team by going to the AFCON.

If Dennis continues on this consistent outstanding performance in the EPL he will be worth £50 million ➕ at the end of the season. Going to AFCON will not help him.

I remember when Yobo sacrificed his place at Everton to go the AFCON and things were never the same for him. He was benched and Jagielka took his place and his relationship with Moyes went sour at the time.

codemaniacs:
the striker dived... that was poor officiating from the refereeing officials..

the striker's studs were on Ekong's leg, it should have been a yellow card for diving for the striker or a red card for the striker stomping or stepping on Ekong's leg...

what's even worse is that the commentators were already blaming Ekong.. which shows that what the commentators say may be influencing those in the VAR department...

Ekong either needs a psychologist or prayer warriors (looks like village people are affecting him).

Bros forget, Ekong is a poor defender. Ekong is a below average footballer. He can't seem to focus for 90min...

I also blame Ranieri. The lack of tactical adjustment by Rainieri put the defense under so much pressure it was going to eventually conceded. The pressure was relentless for 35mins straight without adjustment.

Rohr also told him not to be able to cross a ball or get a corner kick in the GWG?

If Simon scored that goal from the striker position they will say his best position is striker position

Clutching at straws

I swear, Oboabona did better than Ekong.

Oboabona was more comfortable on the ball. Troost has improved in terms of comfort on the ball but I have never liked his game. Nigeria has a history of solid central defenders and Troost will NEVER be remembered among the better players in that position..

Rubbish.

Well said bro. Sitting on the bench at the AFCON may dim his light. He is one of my favorite players and I would like to see him start in one of the wing positions. But with the availability of Victor Moses and Chukwueze, I don't see any other options for him but the bench. And that idea may not be amenable to his liking.

The NFF aren't serious. Amaju is a very unserious fellow. You owe bonuses to the players that you can't pay yet you want to team to win under unreasonable circumstances with little support.


Meanwhile, Dennis, one of the hottest players in world football is supposed to put the most important period of his career aside and come join the train to nowhere.

I agree with you and komekn

It's not good when a player is playing without confidence, look at how Grealish is obstructing his teammates
