I'm sorry to say this but the bolded is exactly what you're doing. You were not here when Awoniyi was celebrated here when he was scoring goals. Forest is playing EPL this season partially because of this guy.

forgiveness:


Boniface is not better than Awoniyi for now no matter how you try to sugarcoat it. Leave epistle for Wole Soyinka.

I will go for boniface / Sadiq umar …but if a fit isaac success is among ur list ,I would av yanked off umar and put success instead 🙂

mostob:
Oga is dropping a bait and nobody has agreed to pick it. Why? It may lead to Pro-Boniface vs Pro-Awoniyi which is exactly what most don't want here.

Recently, my son's team won AMAC competition. One of the coaches in his club scouted him and 6 other players to play for his personal owned club because his own players are overaged.

One player from the original club is very fast and technical but he is a very selfish player. He would rather dribble or shot than pass to the nearest player.

At the end of the competition, he was chosen for national team u15/16 and he won the highest goalscorer of the tournament though missed several glaring chances.

On several occasions, the team were almost knocked out of the competition due to his selfishness but miraculously, they won the tournament.

Back at the main club, he was immediately pulled out or told to keep once he displaces his galala dribbling.

The last league match, the club lost the match because he refused to past on several occasions.

No doubt, he will go up but how far? European football has gone beyond that.

Technical ability is good but in modern football, tactical ability is over everything.

Messi and Ronaldo are both technical and tactical in their early years but as they grew, they became more tactical.

But most Nigerian thinks technical ability will make you world class player.

Mujtahida:

Sadiq Umar? Haa wahala dey oo. So people still advocating for Sadiq?

Bannedlargedx2:


Football is the only thing in Nigeria that absolutely no one is a tribalist. When it comes to football, everyone in Nigeria just wants the best and anyone from any tribe will be applauded or disrespected if he performs or fails.

TheSuperNerd:
You have refused showing us where someone said Awo is not in Top 6 Naija CFs.

Now I want you to show us where anyone says Awo will jostle for 4th striker slot.

The way you are going about this only exposes your intentions more and more. You should have outgrown this behavior by now to be honest.

Mujtahida:

Without technical ability (I don't even like using the word as it sounds as if I'm talking about a machine. I prefer the word skills) football will be no better than ice hockey.

God damn this Europeans for stamping out flair from football.

Marjoribanks:
Elyte89! Wetin you drink this morning cos I no understand what you are writing ooo! lol Which Umar 'Sadiquee' are you talking about? lol

Marjoribanks:
I think you are mistaken my point of view. [b] Awoniyi is one of the best striker in England [/b]and I brokered the Chelsea's link.
Awoniyi was also one of the best strikers during his time in Germany. Awoniyi is a striker extraordinaire! He should not be disrespected by anyone and you can see my calling out Supernerd for not including him in his AFCON list.

However, Boniface is something different entirely and if he keeps working hard at 26 years he won't play for any team less than top 2 in the 5 top leagues.

chrisooblog:
What I even find amusing is that there are receipts strewn across this thread of people praising and acknowledging Awoniyi's qualities but no broda agenda wants to turn everything to Gaza conflict.

My brother, it is not football that keep Nigerians very united . It is stealing public funds.. They neither remember tribe nor religion. In every state, they are very united.

forgiveness:


Only a fo.ol will believe that.

So, in your imagination, Awoniyi should jostle for fourth striker position in Nigerians National team.

The only striker in the best league in the world, to jostle for fourth position with Belgium pro league, Bundesliga, Championship, Ligue 1, etc strikers in the Nigerian National team. And you think you are sounding normal.

I called that person out because that's exactly what he was trying to do.

Which injury? Osimhen no get injury? Why is he on their list?

Chai! See as these peeps are trying to play on my intelligence.

Nobi today I see that thing but I just took my time to observe things before reacting.

Mr man, stop trying to shut my mouth for pointing out hypocrites

Mujtahida:

The thing is that regardless of what you think is the motive of a commenter, treat his comment from a footballing point of view. If you do, the discussion will proceed as a football discussion.
If you swallow the bait (that's if there's a bait because this is just an assumption on your part) and proceed to tackle the discussion from a political or ethnic point of view, then football will take backstage.

komekn:


In all honesty without prejudice, l have never see a player who is so tall and big but keeps falling down at the slightest physical touch.

It's quite disgraceful and it doesn't help him at all. When you are talk and big , there is an expectation of a good degree of physical dominance,but he has none.

He is literally joke.

I said donkeys ago he would not survive in English League one , he would get wasted.

My view of him has not changed. I think the less physical and intense lower quartile of La Liga is his best level.

But he is simply not good enough for the SE.
Sadiq and Onuachu are in the same boat. Not good enough. Not good at all for the SE.

TheSuperNerd:
I agree. Sadiq's guile and technical nous with a balanced centre of gravity will compliment Moffi's linkman/off-the-last-shoulder traits.

Also it could provide a nice Big Striker-Bigger Striker combo with Sadiq doing the holdups or layoffs for Moffi to latch on to.

But alas... not workable as Sadiq can hardly win aerials or stay on his feet. His hold up also is average if not below. It's sad seeing Sadiq's technical side being let down by his physical side.

forgiveness:
My point stands. Statically speaking, Taiwo is far above Boniface.

Don't come here and start your propaganda Boniface is better.

If Boniface is better then he's better than Osimhen.

Some hypocrites who didn't rate Bundesliga when Awoniyi was shutting down their mouth have suddenly began to rate Bundesliga because of agenda.

The reason the national team has not achieved beyond its potential.

Mujtahida:

I really don't rate Awoniyi as per his showings in the GWG. But if he's not injured he will make the cut for Afcon.

TheSuperNerd:
No caps and even though it's gonna be against a top side like Liverpool. Saka is just that good. In my opinion, he's the best RW in the world currently but for now, Chuks just edges by one in numbers only.

Just glad I get to watch Saka on Easter Sunday after seeing Chuks' madness on Easter Saturday.😂😂

forgiveness:
I can't forget these peeps rated Sadiq performance in laliga 2 ahead of Awoniyi's performance in Bundesliga prior to the last AFCON. Chaiiiiiiiiiiii

How do you expect me to believe their sense of judgement regarding Awoniyi?

I just came to the conclusion they don't rate him for anything.

The same way they don't rate Saka Bhuhahahahaha!!!!!

Some people can't hide sha.

mostob:
You get it. His stature doesn't match his skillset.

TheSuperNerd:



More on Taiwo Awoniyi's performance today.

Was a handful for Chelsea especially in the second half. Bested a Beast CB in Koulibaly across a couple of physical duels as well.

@SkySportsStatto's MOTM.

komekn:


You love misrepresentation.

Chelsea had an off day and Nottingham forest took advantage, l actually don't see Potter lasting too long.

forgiveness:


If Boniface is better than Awoniyi because he is technical then he is better than Osimhen.

ChrisKels:
Ever since Victor Boniface tweeted that he is actually an Edo boy, though he grew up in Ondo State, Forgiveness' life hasn't been the same.

Mujtahida:

Even that argument has been made and no one put their hackles up.
