Ohale wasn’t that good with her Passes from her U20 days but her Physicality and tackling abilities always gave her the edge in Defense.. One of the reason she benched the Likes of Christy George and Ulunma Jerome who were top favorites at Center Back then..

Back then when E/Guinea was using the so called Men, Ohale was the One going against them, she police them back to back… At the World Cup in 2011 she single handed handled the like of German #9 Birgit Prinz, Canadian #14 Melissa Tancredi and Co who have intimidating Physique..

Randy needs to avoid emotion when picking his team. Onumonu upfront is an experiment that failed during the AWCON. Judging from the friendly, she is likely to start against Canada.

AkinDS:
The history of football is replete with proven strikers who go through rough patches, but eventually come through when it matters.
The likes of Yekini, Ighalo, and even the great Osimhen come to mind.
Going further back in history, others like Paolo Rossi, Roberto Baggio, Pele and even Lionel Messi went through such with their national teams. It happens.

The fact that Onumonu is going through this patch doesn't mean she is not good enough or she is a bad player.
The WAFCON is past and we all need to look forward to the future.

@ Schemerkhiz,
I will have to disagree with you on this. Demehin brings more to the table than just Pace and Physical play.
She actually brings ALL the attributes you listed (highlighted below).

If you are able, please re-watch the Haiti and New Zealand friendlies again and just focus on her. I think you would agree she checks the box on all those attributes

It's just the game against Canada. The closest example to reference is Iwobi. Remember he got a red card in AFCON round of 16. That made him ineligible for our world cup qualifiers games (2) against Ghana. He the resumed against Sierra Leone in our AFCON qualifiers.

AkinDS:
Monday is still a newbie, having just completed her first year in Spain and only became a regular started prior to the end of the season - last 6 or so games.
Onumonu is a veteran of the NWSL and so brings that high level of experience to the table. It makes sense to me that Onumonu would start, and then bring in Monday to finish the job.
Front 3, baring injury, will LIKELY be Onumonu, Oshoala and Okoronkwo

AkinDS:
Again, its about perspective.
My point is based on having watched her last 5 games with the Super Falcons, her passing efficiency, especially with her long balls (or up-field punts), have been hit or miss (actually, more 'miss' than 'hit').
Stats wise, her long pass turnover rate has been extremely high.

And she has been doing this a lot lately - even at club level.

ATENCIÓN 🚨 🚨 🚨
Esta fue la jugada que motivó el retiro de Irlanda y los reclamos… Es falta, sí, pero una acción de juego NORMAL. Ahí no hay nada tan grave como para el problema que armaron las europeas…

Can I av d idea d local time we will be watching d games?

CoolJulian:
Sorry, Demehin is only more physical and pacier than Plumptre.

mostob:
The physicality sef is debatable.

BascoVanVeli:
There is always a back story but that doesn't change the fact that Tosin has played more
than any other player at that position.

Idiko1:
When did so-called Tosin start playing for the Falcons of Nigeria? Tosin is a good-looking rookie and bound to commit rookie blunders. She is no way close to Plumptre in reading the game.

BascoVanVeli:
Who has made more blunders for Nigeria, Tosin or Ashleigh?

Deltamani:
I wasn’t expecting this kind of Question from you…

Is it that you’re comparing Tosin with Ashleigh or What exactly…

Blessing Demehin has more Blunders though excluding U20 own sef!

BascoVanVeli:
What are u even going on about sef? I said what I said. Name the blunders that Tosin had for the Super Falcons?

lovewins:
The said argument is supposed to be fact based. Errors can easily tracked. How many duels won, how many tackles won etc. "I said what I said" isn't exactly an argument.
