You're being petty again as usual...The same attitude you displayed when people were voicing concern over Okoye before the AFCON... After his famous blunder, you lost your voice...
It's only in your head that people hate foreign borns...

Based on current form, Lookman isn't better than Chukwueze... Chuks has scored in the laliga,champions league and Copa de Rey this season.. 6 goals and one assist in total compared to Lookman's 5 goals and 1 assists despite playing fewer games...

Let's see Lookman in action in the GWG first before we conclude that he is better than our current wingers..... Okoye is playing in a top league but is delivering a disasterclass every matchday for the super eagles

He wasn’t as poor as some of you guys are saying. Even so, his replacement must be superior to him or the same level not inferior. Let amoo prove himself at the big 3 leagues before he can think of benching a big 3 player. I think “YouTube” deceives some of you cabu cabu analyst

He created one for sadiq (clear cut) another corner kick clear cut to (iheanacho) and another crossing clear cut. If those 3 chances was into the hands of lewandoski, it’s 3 goals for us. The issue with nwakali is that we don’t have another like for like player at SE and we don’t have the luxury of omitting players with his skill set. Some people are mentioning onyedika, Frank d tank etc just remember that selecting 3 dm in a game will just devoid your midfield of any creativity

drDoom3:


3 DMs? Is Frank a DM at Brentford? Is Aribo a DM?

Like it or not, our best midfield trio currently is Ndidi - Onyeka - Aribo, each playing slightly ahead of the previous. We can’t start with such a midfield and get overrun in the center, and all three offer decent creativity, football intelligence, and excellent work rate.

drDoom3:
Iwobi and Dennis start.

This shows that Lampard fancies him

TheGoodJoe:


I think I will like to come in here. When we talk about deep-lying playmaker, to the best of my knowledge, it has to do with the role than the position.

I will list some players in this era who I consider ideal deep-lying playmakers.

Granit Xhaka
Thiago Alcantara
Jorginho

The thing about these players has to do with their natural style. Even when they venture forward, they still play in a particular manner. They like the short passing game.

One thing about them is that they like to operate from deep. They are comfortable playing for a long time close to the defenders and like to build attacks from the back with their passes.

So when these guys write Aribo as a deep-lying playmaker, I wonder if they are referring to him operating in that manner. That is sitting deep and using passes to dictate play.

I might be wrong because I have not watched much of Aribo but in the few I saw, he is not the player that likes to sit and play deep for a long time. Offensive play is a big part of his game.

I will like others to add. Do you see Aribo as a player that plays like Xhaka or Jorginho?

Meliforme:


4-4-2 is the issue.

Why is it the issue.
It is the issue because of an obvious lack of the requisite personnel.

You will spot this clearly after my reply to TheGoodJoe's requests for additions on the definition of a DLP.

TFLASHOGEE:
dis your submission gives me joy God bless you my comrade

Meliforme:


Aribo style of play is a far cry from what is described as deep-lying playmaking.

Pirlo, Xabi Alonso are good examples of DLPs.

I hurriedly made a write-up on DLP from the little i gleaned from Wikipedia and Quora.
I will drop it soon.

Kog45:
I just wish Osimehn injury free...Chuckwueze was highly rated by Eguavoen thinking that he will come good as we progress but failed....Ghana two legs match must be for starters who will get it right from the start to finish.

TheGoodJoe:


Waiting for it. Thanks in advance.

He said he can't wait to represent "the" country. . His choice of words aren't so convincing

Bayern getting whooped by Bochum.
I gotta say I expected this...They are playing without a natural midfielder.
How some coaches underrate the importance of Midfield is beyond my understanding.

drDoom3:
Iwobi, Chuks and Dennis start.

Stormtrooper11:


Exactly what was on my mind

JohnBullMySon:
You're misunderstanding his English. I know you wanted him to say "my country". But he's right with his words. Often you hear people say, "for the team" rather than "for my team". It's because they're trying to be humble and present themselves as just part of a bigger project.

Using the word "my" has an egoistic feel to it, even though it sounds more patriotic. It makes it sound like you're so important that the entire team depends on you.

Meliforme:


Chukwueze did not fail.

The system did not play to his strengths.

drDoom3:


Half of Chuks’ goals came against 3rd tier teams you can’t even pronounce in the Copa del Rey. Chuks’ end product has always been miserable, we are just the ones who have been overlooking.

andrewbaba44:


Even you self no say lookman case no fit be like Okoye own

drDoom3:
Chuks goes on to dribble like 5 Madrid players to go one on one only to fluff the final pass. Dribbling Chuks is back.
