So, does Onyeka has the long passes in him? I want Aribo to play in a more advanced position. I don't like the way he is restricted to the CM

He does it better than Etebo. Onyeka is also good at joining in on attack. He wins balls and driving forward, with Ndidi at the base. He also have the strength to match the brute force of African midfielders.

During the 2nd leg against CAR, a few times I mistook him for Nacho, because he was so far forward and key in the attack.

Yes, a very useless way to criticise in the grand scheme of things, because it only serves to demoralise, but it is a form of criticism

There are different ways of criticizing ok? Some prefers to use insults which I can like to destructive criticism. Those who have stayed long often goes with construtive criticism.

This comment funny die

Una dey make argument about two players that if I never see them in the GWG again, I won't even bat an eyelid. I would recall Martins before I consider those two guys, that is how much I do not rate either of them.

But stat for stat, player for player, no coach will pick Sadiq over Onuachu.

I personally cannot take a player that needs time to boot for a tournament. Sometimes, I do not think people realise how damning that whole time he took was for us.

I avoid discussions about the flash of brilliance against Tunisia, because it vexes me so much. I don't even regard it, because of how thoroughly useless it was to me. As useless as giving CPR to someone that has already drowned to death.

Anyway, the two both of them na the same thing. I don't care about either

Ok then...we should just qualify anyway, anyhow

You no just want hear anything Nwakali

charlesemeka85:
wasnt impressed in his first 2 games but did very well against tunisia when he came in

even at that he is better to me than onuachu

how about me telling you sodiq can't lace Onuachu's boots currently and Onuachu would have hit the back of the net against tunisa with just few good chances, sodiq is a striker that needs all the space and time in the world to figure him self infront of goal but Onuachu needs just an half chance and the opponent keeper picks the ball in the net if you don't get it go check Onuachu's goals in the green and white jersey

I did not dispute your claim, but the extended explanation is appreciated

safarigirl:


Thank you

I do not believe one is better than the other.

I do not care for either of them.

Based on European statistics, Onuachu will clearly edge out Sadiq, if we are being honest.

On no metric will Sadiq edge out Onuachu. None at all

However, the both of them are the same thing to me. You cannot even play them together, that is how alike they are. Either one or the other, but same thing as far as the Nigerian team is concerned.

Sadiq and Onuachu aren't that really alike. Sadiq drops deep to link up, He isn't all about the cross too. Onuachu is the big man in the box (or it's lips). His presence is only felt close to goal

Odunayow:

Link up with who?

He is not about anything. His only goal came from a tap-in in the 18-yard box his role requires him to be present in. Who the link-up help?

They are the same thing as far as I'm concerned.

mostob:
we're still saying the same thing na. Ndidi,Aribo and Onyeka(or Etebo) .
I was just saying I prefer Etebo to start...

Okay..

I've forgotten about Etebo..

Since I started watching Super Eagles, at no point have I watched any of our games and assumed we will not concede a goal

I always expect a goal against us

I only hold solace in the knowledge that we will score more. This has always been my belief, "They will score us, we just need to outscore them"

So much for that

Onuachu is just too clinical

They are definitely not the same.. But it's understandable that you are using Sasiq's AFCON performance to judge him...

All 3 of his games he was in deep, linking with the wingers at times. An example is the chance he missed against Tunisia.

Not many will agree they're the same. He also has footwork which Onuachu doesn't

andrewbaba44:


Onuachu is just too clinical

for me our strikers clinicality rating goes thus
1. Osimehn 80%
2. Onuachu 75%
3. ighalo 65% (thou I would have rate him around 70%-75% because ighalo got some mad finishes but baba is getting old and waist is getting stive)
4. Awoniyi 60%
5. sodiq 55%
I won't add dessers because am not sure if he will make the next squad

That is many's business.


I do not care for footwork or linking, I care for goals, which is the primary function of a Centre Forward. Many will argue that Onuachu is better, because at the least, you are more likely to get a goal from Onuachu than the other fellow.

A Centre Forward that cannot give goals or create opportunities at the least, is not my cup of tea.

Sadiq is not better than Onuachu. They both give me the same chest pain, but if you want to watch for fancy footwork and linkup play, that is fine.

Sadly, this is how I feel whenever I watch my beloved man utd lately.

The two tournaments he has been in that I have watched, he has had flashes of brilliance and then nothing. Very useless flashes of brilliance sef

I do not rate him, as I do not rate Onuachu.

Like I said, they are the same thing to me, because I cannot stand watching either of them. At least Onuachu will even surprise you with the occasional goal

Simon. Victor. Dennis

Onyeka. Aribo. Wilfred

Aina. Omeruo/Balo Ekong. Sanusi


Onyeka as CM, Wilfred as DM and Aribo as AM.

My preferred line up Against the Black star..

Joezinho:

LOL

These ones are stories for another day.

Me wey dey here no wan talk about some things about that tournament, na just because the way I watch Super Eagles is clearly not the same way some other people on this thread watch the team.

I don't know the expectations some people had, but even when Enyeama was in that post, I no dey watch Super Eagles dey think "We will not concede today". I don't know where some people got their expectations from, because that must be the source of their anger.

The source of my own is different. This whole "Clean Sheet Eagles" must be a new phenomenon I am not aware of.

You're changing the subject na. I'm only here talking about your point that "they're the same".

Now you're talking about who's better or who gives goals when the original discuss is their style of play.

Okoye of course, we can't just condemn him for that goal he conceded against Tunisia, he's our best keeper at the moment.

Okoye is not assuring.I said it here Okoye will cost us Afcon and am repeating it Okoye in goal against Ghana will likely costs us WC qualifications...yes our best keeper based on his club performance but damn too average in super eagles.

Lol. I believe most of us here are way too passionate about the super eagles and it sometimes cloud our judgement thus the high expectations. And seeing how we defeated the Egyptians , it gave us hope again.

I really felt heartbroken when we lost to the Tunisians. And what hurts the most was the manner which we lost to a side that had a coach and over 6 players out due to covid.

Too average in super eagles, do we have any goal stopper that's better, above average and world class like Mendy?? The answer is NO. Then we have to stick with him. Btw why are you condemning him? Because of the goal against the tunisians? U think it's cheap?

bros I had talk taya, yet many here had refuse to listen,

what had the goalkeeper trainer been teaching them, nobody will talk, if not for that voice, he would had caught the ball, he even got a hand to it out of reflex too,

now am beginning to think they are condemning him, not due to that goal. but his fine boy no pimples show on twitter
