TheGoodJoe, you guys need a Rodri stand-in by January. This can't keep happening else Man City will become Cartegena.

zicky:
Mancity is not serious, so they don't have a backup for Rodri, even with a player at the level of ndidi, mancity will be fine.

BankyGee:
Defender - Taribo West

Midfielder - Jay Jay Okocha

Attacker - King James 👑

GMBOFASIA:
Remove Osimhen lol replace with Yekini

zicky:
Seems I'm one of the few that don't really rate Okocha, yes bundle of talent and skills but not really productive. Played for Bolton no trophy but kanu could win FA cup with Portsmouth

Oganigwe:
Ndidi? LMFAOOO abeg!

Goke7:
Feel same way but it’s arguable because as far as global football is concerned okocha is seen as Nigeria’s best ever not even just as a midfielder. I wish it wasn’t so but it’s what it is

TheSuperNerd:
Meanwhile... TheGoodJoe, Heartland's Unbeaten run in the NPFL is on the line again today in Kwara.

Kwara Utd leads 1-0 at HT.

zicky:
yobo should be around the world class bracket

TheGoodJoe:
Defender - Taribo West

Midfielder - Austin Okocha

Attacker - Victor Osimhen

Oliseh should be there but Jay Jay takes it.

minfelix:
until Osimhen break yekini record…it will always be Yekini as the best striker ever for the here and now…37goals no b beans

Serie A golden boot is not beans.

TheSuperNerd:
Not even one from the academy. That's actually crazy.

GMBOFASIA:
Seem you took wine we are talking about super eagles best striker you are saying Seria A golden boot

TheGoodJoe:

I repeat, when we are talking about greatest Super Eagles players, their club form plays a role. Ikpeba's Monaco form plays a big part in his rep in the Super Eagles.

Why not Ricky Owubokiri who won Europe golden boot ....well I will pick mine on national team performance

Defender...Stephen Keshi

Midfielder...Austin Okocha

Attacker....Rashidi Yekini

Mahamadu Susoho (Manchester City CDM) clip.

TheGoodJoe:

I wonder why Pep is hesitant to give Mahamadu Susoho a shot. I believe he will be better than playing Gundogan or Nunes in that CDM role.

WarHammer2000:
Osimhen hasn't won quarter of the titles that Kanu won for club and country.

Osimhen hasn't had any major impact on any international tournament comparable to Kanu's Olympics heroics.

TheGoodJoe:
Richard Owubokiri was not main stay in the Super Eagles. I don't remember him ever playing for the Super Eagles.

Kog45:
I just pray Osimhen,Lookman and co makes WC appearance and wins Afcon so that history would be kind to them rating our bests

TheSuperNerd:
Lookman on the left obviously. Corresponding LB will be Bruno thanks to his crosses and due to Zaidu's long absence (Zaidu can also cross).

The AM is the conundrum in this setup with Iwobi on the right but I have a few candidates in mind. Will throw in Akinsanmiro or will throw all caution to the wind and throw in Nwakali. Why? because either lads can easily combine with Iwobi's wide but inverted creative approach in the half spaces and even interchange from right to central and vice versa.

Uche Christantus is a workhorse alongside his ball carrying and technical skills so we are covered in ball winnings alongside Onyedika's CDM profile and Nwakali's improved defensive shift.

But Akinsanmiro is my number 1 pick for the AM role for now before a rejuvenated Nwakali because he is the perfect blend of CAM and Mezzala (a side creative MF). Nwakali is a CAM/CAM/DLP profile but not a mezzala hybrid profile like Akinsanmiro.

TheSuperNerd:
Seems like this kid is on loan in EFL League one.
