Drogba

Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by D00msDay(m):
Michael Essien is good, but i'll rather play Jay Jay in his position.
Babayaro should replace Asamoah.
I didn't watch G.Weah play at his prime, thus, I can't say much.
But Drogba needs to be on the list.
Bounou is also good. El- Hadary and Enyama could also lay a claim. Not 4gettin the legendary Thomas N'kono who inspired and mentored Gigi.

Modified:
The greatest African XI of all time should have 2 to 3 lists because a lot of quality players are being left out especially the older generation players.

No Okocha, no Amokachi, no Papilo? Who do this list, no even Mikel Obi?

Footballers of different generations.
Did you ever know a footballer called Abedi Pele? Only George Weah can be compared to him.

The greatest dribbler and skillful in Africa
Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by mayor1814: 3:55pm On Aug 06, 2025
Remove mane ASAP and put Didier Drogba. Somehow somehow okocha should be fixed in that midfield. Not an excellent list but a good list sha. Still wondering some players to be removed and inserted
Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by moscobabs(m): 3:55pm On Aug 06, 2025

Abedi Pele is missing (Ghana)

Emmanuel Kunde (Cameroun)

Most of your picks are from recent generation of African players with the exception George Weah. Not a fair list of Africa all time XI
Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by sodeide2013: 3:56pm On Aug 06, 2025
Bery poor selection. The team is unbalanced. The selector doesnt know much about African football.
You cant play Eto and Weah.
No Okocha, the team is incomplete
The choice of full backs are second or third choices
The Goalkeeper is not the best
Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by Kaido: 3:56pm On Aug 06, 2025
LB -Celestine Babayaro
CM - J.J Okocha comot Esssien
GK- Vincent Enyeama
ST - Drogba

Sub
Essien
George Weah
Abedi Pele

No LB in Africa reach Babayaro. Drogba na Baba.

BTW, I no be Chelsea fan just spitting facts
Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by Anonimoux: 3:56pm On Aug 06, 2025

Drogba is conspicuously missing.

Sentiments aside, no Nigerian deserves to displace any of the listed players.
Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by VinnyBaba: 3:58pm On Aug 06, 2025
REMOVE Salah and put Finidi George. undecided

Has Salah won any Afcon or has he done exploits in any Afcon. huh

Also REMOVE George weah and put Didier Drogba.
George Weah did not play major Afcon while Drogba reached 2 Finals. sad
Re: Africa All Time XI. Which Player Is Missing Here? by Highwaycrew: 3:59pm On Aug 06, 2025

Toure and Rigobert Song no even dey Africa's top 100.
Celestine Babayaro, Okocha, Kanu, Hadji Diof should be on that list.

Lol, dis nigga!

Abeg delete okocha name from there. He was a viral failure. Like a man who works so hard but never brings any gifts to his house.

Mikel better pass okocha in hundred folds!

Who you want replace Drogba with?
Both Eto,o and Weah outperformed him. Except you want to move him to the wing, then you can remove Mane

The Back Pass merchant? undecided

Even Wilson Oruma better pass am. smiley

If a 2nd or 3rd African Best Eleven is selected, Mikel name won't be seen on it. sad
