Guy go and sit down. You wet never pass Ikorodu! The last time I check, it was Ghana that was banned from under 17 cos of age cheat. If you have the evidence of age cheat in both competition show it here, if you don't shut da fvck up!!

codemaniacs:
Ejuke has the highest assists for his club and is more direct than Simon in the S.E..

when Simon plays for the S.E he plays without intensity and intent...

TheSuperNerd:
If you aren't afraid of the name, why don't you❓

His name is all over this thread and I am pretty sure his name sings in your head right now.

TheGoodJoe:
You are taking us in circles.

Look at your list and tell me the midfielder there that is gifted at keeping the ball and passing intelligently. Also give us the names of the players we should invite in the top clubs we do not know.

The point is, we do not have enough pool of players in top clubs. We have to measure up with comprehensive scouting for hidden gems to complement what we have.

Marjoribanks:
How else do you want us to discover hidden gems if not age group competitions? We have Iwobi, Aribo, Nwakali, Onyedika who can hold and pass the ball! We have great lads in the under 17 and 20 coming up! What else do you want? You are the one talking in circles here!

Philosopher1979:
Moses SIMon is a wide forward and not a right sided midfielder. He is better off in a 433 as a wide forward.
He can't operate in a 442
The issue is that we have many explosive forwards who can explode in the past third of the pitch but we lack midfielders.
The quality of forwards is a serious advantage we don't know how t Ouse.
Get alhassan Yusuf, ovie ejaria, iwobi etc in our midfield and let them liberate our forwards and we are good to go.
This thing is very simple I wonder why it is so hard for our coaches.

mostob:
What have the said home based players achieve in the last 5 years? What are their performances in CAF competitions? When last did we win CHAN?
Our problem is not that we don't have players. We simply need a good coach.

TheGoodJoe:

I visited an academy in D-Line Port Harcourt, at Igbokwu Street. The coach was with some kids and said something to the kids that touched me.

Oyinbo children have everything. They have eaten well. They go to good schools. They are not lacking. They have full kits and facility. They are ahead of you. The only thing you have is training. Do not play with it. Take it seriously and it can change your lives.

Moses Simon plays as a wide forward and winger for the SE.

He doesn't drop deep to help the midfield and defense.

Apart from midfield problem..

the SE also has a winger and wide forward problem.

Mujtahida:
I thought it's been said that Moses Simon is preferred because of his contributions to the defense

Mujtahida:
Oasis007 do kindly offer a response. But mostob, it can equally be argued that the current SE have not achieved anything worthwhile

Amedino99:
Simon has better stats for both club and country. Please don't compare him with ejike

Mujtahida:
I'm saying that some watch out for players who are not part of the team and bend the whole of their analysis to rest on the absence of such players.

If the player they mentioned is invited, they move on to the next absentee and on and on

Good response ,mostob abeg respond...we keep hammering on professionals ,what exactly have Dey achieved playing together for over 7years

No trophy
One World Cup appearance (group stage exit)
3rd place winner(afcon)
2nd round exit from afcon
Failed to qualify for dis present World Cup


What exactly is special about this result/outcome for d past 7years and yet we refuse to accept d reality,but expect to c different result using d same so called “professionals”. I don’t get

codemaniacs:
Ejuke has only played 3 matches for SE while Moses Simon has played 53 matches.. so you should take your own advice of don't compare with Ejuke.

For club, Moses Simon probably has a better agent than Ejuke because Moses Simon has played in more top leagues than Ejuke and has been playing in Europe longer than Ejuke..

Obviously Simon has more experience than Ejuke but changes have to be made in the wings of the S.E or you won't any changes in the team even if they bring in new midfielders and they will fail to qualify for the next world cup if the wingers aren't been substituted for others..

you should take your own advice of don't compare with Ejuke.

Odunayaw:
So, what are you saying now?

We should turn the SE to an academy where we train NPFL boys because that's how we're going to win AFCON and WC

Odunayaw:
This should be pinned on every thread page!

I used to only not engage such discussions. Now, I also don't read them.

Scrolling past is easy

komekn:
You will be surprised how many academy director and agents come to me talking about this players and that player from Nigeria.

I went to a local academy in Lagos last year, the coaching just like the facilities was abysmal. I didn't know where to start everything was outdated and highly inept.

Danielnino00:
Especially under Rohr...
The problem I have with Simon is that he sometimes waste good goalscoring opportunities by dribbling unnecessary when a pass, cross or shot could have been better.. Truth is, most of our wingers have that habit too.. they aren't direct enough...

Odunayaw:
The SE will not play outside the system the Coach is competent in

All this formations, combinations and permutations have zero guarantee

Mujtahida:
it is natural to make your selection from where the best converge.

Many point to Saudi Arabia but assuming Saudi Arabia has players in Europe will they choose their local players?

Take Japan for example. The J league is good but in this world cup, the bulk of their players came from Europe.

Or take Brazil and Argentina, their leagues are doing okay but Argentina picked only the substitute GK from river plate. All the rest are from elite leagues in Europe. Brazil picked two from the local league.

So why the advocacy for players from our own local leagues that is not up to par with either the J-leagues or Brazil or Argentine leagues?

Our problem is more of coaching than personnel. You often say our players can't string passes. If they cannot how come they playing in top leagues? How come Eguavoen's team played good football?

If your facilities are poor
If your coaches are poorly educated and trained
If your players lack basic kit
If you have no sports scientists to create individual player enhancement programs.
If you have old fashioned coaches relying on knowledge of decades ago.

Unfortunately your training will be poor and so also the quality of your players A man reaps what he sows, you plant corn � and you want to harvest yam.

I'm sorry it's not happening.

What Nigerian youth players have in abundance is NATURAL TALENT and at youth level your athleticism, speed, physicality will win you games but not necessarily the marathon of football ⚽ progression.

Even those particular attributes will be strongly challenged by the youthful Africans in the European diaspora.

I was at a youth football tournament around Lagos 3/4 weeks ago. I watched PSG in particular all the player's 95% were completely black born in Paris but with origins in Senegal and Mali. The defensive line of PSG had boys who were over 6ft tall and physical they could easily play U21 at 14. Compared to other boys they were like giants.

There is a boy l saw in Juventus looks top quality his parents are from Benin.

Yes we do across Europe, if you cannot out of your parochial obsession with past glories and not the present continuous, see them that's your problem.
