Calvin Bassey played 120 minutes,Aribo with 2 assist. That's beautiful

BannedLarge:


Keshi had inform electric Emenike, Victor Moses and World class Mikel obi. In addition to that, keshi also had a world class goalkeeper. Are you really sure that our present players are better than keshi own? Keshi won the ANC and he rightfully deserve his flowers as one of super eagles GOAT

Agree 100%

Joe Aribo is back

Somebody said something about Joe Aribo being bad in poor pitches and I think that is right

TheLoneCitizen:


Immediately subbed off.

A left-footed player who is good. One of the most-sought-after combination in football.

If this lad doesn't force a move this summer, he's dumber than dumb.

He is not good enough as you claim.

For one, he is not fluid. Look at Daka's movement coming on, that is a fluid attacker that will cause problems on and off the ball.

Second, he is very lazy off the ball. Doesn't track back, can't last 90 mins. Poor stamina.

He is good, but without those qualities in today's football it is very difficult to play for the best teams. Look at Salah for example, has everything Nacho has (except hold-up play maybe) but he tracks back, is good off the ball, is much faster, you can go on and on.

TheLoneCitizen:
Man on fire.

Feyenoord first semi-final in 20 years.

And Equeavon said he has never watched him play

TheLoneCitizen:
Lookman. A player and a half. Probably our biggest acquisition from the English.

I feel like the guy hasn't reached his full potentials yet, and he struggles a lot with consistency. We will see how he continues to develop though.

I still think Aribo is our greatest steal in recent years (post Vicmo). An in-form Aribo is lethal, we saw that today with his two assists and the numerous chances he created for Roofe that were missed. Too bad his loss in form (January through March) coincided with the most important game of his international career vs. Ghana.

By the way, Bassey's long ball that changed the Rangers game is why he should start for us at left CB with Zaidu at LB and Balogun as right CB. Elite.

TheLoneCitizen:


Actually, Feyenoord do not want to pay the 4m due to Dessers' age.

The good thing is that Genk are desperate for his return, and he loves Genk more.

Onuachu

The truth remains that he is yet to acclimatize with the African condition(s) and football

I watched the second half only so I'm talking only from this perspective.

When you mean fluid, I believe you mean he is not lively.
Well that is down to characteristic, not quality.

Daka is an explosive forward, Iheanacho is not.
Osimhen is an explosive forward, Harry Kane is not.

Then comes movement. You can't compare both Daka and Kelechi in this because the Zambian is a poacher and will hang around the shoulder of the last defender waiting for a pass, while Iheanacho is an Advanced Forward/ Shadow striker, he is the one who drops deep to make these very passes.

This is why I didn't call Iheanacho Nigeria's best striker, because he is not. However, overall, there is no better player.

Lazy. This I can't say, but I don't think a coach will play any player who is lazy while the others work their socks off except it is a tactic.

Look at the Osimhen of last season and Osimhen of this year. Completely two different players when it comes to closing down opponents.

So it might be Rodgers' instruction for Iheanacho to maintain position either for counters or to prevent the opposition defence from pushing too high into their territory.

As for stamina I agree, he might not be a 90 minutes player.

Using Salah as a comparison is not fitting, sir.

Because Salah has way different characteristics from a player like Bernando Silva or Kulusevski, but they are just as effective.

If Iheanacho is not our best player, based on quality, who is?

Osimhen is our best player at the moment, being a good player is not about threading passes, how willing is he in running for the team, how much is he willing to press the opposition, how willing is he to sacrifice his body to ensure that a goal is scored this is what makes a player in its entirety. Osimhen maybe be lacking in technical skills but his drive and determination sets him above every SE player

Consistency. Exactly. He is one of those players who if they are given a starting shirt after a good cameo become a totally different player. Like Asensio.

Aribo at AM or at CM: Is he really better than what we have in those positions? Can he decide games? Could he have broken into the English squad?

Pound for pound: I think the only left winger that can do what Lookman can is Sancho. Rashford, Sterling. No.

I've watched Bassey only once. 3-0 vs Celtic. He is too offensive to be shackled in defence.

Osimhen can compete in the strike department as our best, but he is not our best player at all.

His goal against Fiorentina has to be one of the most underrated of the weekend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugY7egHRV0w

But even when he is at his best, Osimehn is still considered a player of potential, not a complete option.

The most common theme whenever any pundit praise Osimhen ends with: he needs to improve in this or get better in that even when he is at his best.
He is 23 and that tells you a lot about his qualities.

Pound for pound, Osimehn is not up to Iheanacho.

Not to take anything from him.

drDoom3:


Onuachu

If they are eager for him to return, knowing he is first-choice at a more reputable club and have let Ike Uche go, then Onuachu is surely leaving.

Iheanacho needs to improve more than Osimhen lol, comparing them Osimhen already offers more output than Iheanacho and is already our most valuable player

Sir, it's not about goals but overall quality.

If I had said Awaziem was our best player, you definitely wouldn't use goal to drive home your point.

It's also not about market value or else Grealish would be the best baller in Britain. An expert like you should also know that the higher up the pitch you play, the higher your market valuation or the bigger the club or your price of purchase.

I'm talking pound for pound. Tell me where Osimhen is better than Iheanacho and I will equally show you attributes where he can't stand up to him.

And mind you, Kelechi's 16 GA this season is not far from Osimhen's 21 in lesser minutes.

These are not what makes you a good player, this make you an effective player, because you play with heart and according to your teams system.

Daniel James is an example of a player who runs and puts his body on the line for his team. Is he a quality player?

Almiron is another.

All this put your body on the line and run is something Pogba has never done for Manchester United, yet he remains their best player.

Mbappe doesn't press or sacrifice his body, but is PSG's best player.

Benzema against Chelsea did not have time for running or pressing or rolling in the dirt, but came out with 4 goals and a MOTM.

When did heart and determination become SI Unit of quality, brother?
