Truth
But Benjamin is a generational talent
You no see wetin the guy do Auba against Gabon?
If that was not exposure and experience, then what else?

How many high profile games are we going to play that would be higher than those last few games of the world cup qualifiers?

Love and promote Ogbu, nothing wrong with that
But as far as the SE is concerned, Benji is ahead
And it's only if he flops that others will start before him
Infact if not for match fitness, benji would walk right into our 11 and bench Ajayi

Generational? Bros generational talent na talents like young CR7, Messi, Mikel,Rooney,Neyma etc

Mk Una dey mindful how una tk dey use words abeg 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aubameyang at what age? Our own young yobo then held his own against almighty weah in ph as a youngster then in a World Cup qualifier game did that made him generational? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Explain Nwabali and Okoye then

Because you can only use one goal keeper in a match

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hear you

Rest abeg. Who else underrated Ogbu apart from the usual culprit then? Was it not Chriskels your guy who was vehemently questioning the quality of Ogbu and using why he is still at Slavia prague to talk him down? What did you say then?

Now you are coming to say "many of us" as if the name of Many of us na Chriskels.

Anyway, I see what you are doing but I will ask you something. Ogbu is good, I have always rated him but your post aims at downplaying Benjamin Frederick subtly and I find it to be a blatant insult to the personnel decisions of Eric Chelle who saw both lads (Ogbu and Frederick) and picked Frederick as his starter ahead of Ogbu. Did Chelle not pair both of them in the Unity Cup? So ask yourself why Chelle preferred Benjy over Ogbu in Crucial games.

Or are you the only one blind to the world class performances Benjamin Frederick was dropping game after game and after game?? You think Chelle no see well for that department abi? Nwokem, Rest abeg.

Papi85:
The way many of us underrated Igoh Ogbu in this thread is heartbreaking.

To me after the starting duo of Bassey and Ajayi the next is Igoh. Una fit hype whosoever una like as the number 1 before even Bassey but Igoh have really impressed me from the first day he put on the jersey of the super eagles

He is calm on the ball, knows when to jump in and out of tackles and very clean and tidy in doing that, he is dominant aerially, he has pace and a good passer of the ball

The guy is highly underrated here

Sugarboyy:
It does in football.
We can't have a Fernandez playing regularly for Bayern Munich and because Fredrick playing for Dender seem better than him, Fernandez will always be on the bench. Because of him the SE coach can change his formation to 3 defence to accommodate all of them

What's all this "we"?

Whoever is playing regularly in Bayern shouldn't be forced into starting line up because another "seems" better. If such is starting regularly there, he must be demonstrably better. Seem ke

Akor the bull!!
Unfortunately he missed that Chance..

What to pass from iwobi to release Chuks!!

🚨🇳🇬 Akor Adams missed a glorious chance to put Nigeria 2-0 up against Iran.

Auba still dey Marseille banging goals aplenty in Ligue 1 against even more experienced defenders than Young Frederick.
George Weah in same May 2001 was leaving for Al Jazira in the Gulf league. Abi na Seriki or desert league in your own parlance

Also Yobo played RB that day. Not CB. It was West and Eric Ejiofor who held Weah more than Yobo had to face Weah. Yobo had an awesome game but he did not face Weah alone or even too much in the game.

Yobo went on to have quite a long EPL Career at Everton. He was a top class CB in his prime.

Maduka Okoye could do nothing for that goal abeg. Not his fault. The marking in the box let him down. He should have walked away with a cleansheet if Chelle did not change the entire CB pair.

Unfortunately he can't argue with the truth
Na only English hom go speak, at the end of the day, we all know the truth

I'm almost certain Sevilla will release him

Ejuke scored the winning goal against Gabon.
Were you not pleased?

His lack of playing time at Sevilla is affecting his confidence and self esteem. I

No one is benching Benji in that team. Not even Bassey can bench Benji.

Yes I was pleased with his goal against Gabon..
Unfortunately he has not kicked on from there, and now more competition has arrived..

At the beginning of last season when he was playing more in Sevilla, I watch a few Sevilla games and I knew he would soon be benched
Sadly I was right
I wish him the best in his career
But he will soon be eased out of the SE

Commendable you are saying the truth now, well done.

Why you dey always sound like say na fight? Be calming down.

Charles dey yan opata normally, and this is one of those opatas.

Ogbu though decent is a rope of sand because he is injury prone. Even without the injuries, he can't bench Benji. To me, Benji is the most talented CB we have in the team at the moment. Even his team mates are going gaga over his displays.

I will keep Ogbu around as a backup but he will have to battle it out with Fernandez and Nwaiwu as Ajayi's time is almost up.

Solid take

By the way, Bruno has turned to something else. His left foot is so sweet these days.

Osayi sef no wan gree again.

If we bag Kayode, that right back position will be down to survival of the fittest, and the most versatile will win.

Ehm Nwokem, stressing an emphasis on you as Ogbu's biggest downplayer then as against Charles' "many of us" claim is not me fighting. I am just bringing a truth to the front of Charles' attempt to twist a narrative on this thread on Ogbu.
So biko, dont go digressing and looking for what is not and stay on the issue. You are the "many of us" Charles is referring to. Simple.


Also, the thing is you and Charles take turns to yarn una "opatas" although Charles is more frequent (no offence biko). Imagine using Ogbu now in order to talk down on Benjamin Frederick. The next now, e go be you coming for Osimhen.

We never know when next una two go drop the latest opatas, ehn nwanna'm

Meanwhile, @emboldened... Biko Charlesemeka85 aka Papi85, come and read oooo from your fellow opata crooner because na only you know why u dey see young Benjy as "not special".

Sugarboyy:
With all his skills, Ejuke doesn't seem to add anything meaningful to the SE

Ejuke has the skills, but the mentality to power through is missing.
This is me saying it in all honesty.

Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman can't take half of the kind of treatment Ejuke receives at Sevilla.
During their last match against Valencia, one of the commentators was screaming for his introduction and complained about how Ejuke was waved back to his seat, saying it was embarrassing for a professional footballer.

Kelechi Iheanacho endured the same and inspite of his shooting skills, he has seen a downward plunge.

Bassey?
No talk that thing outside o.

I am still worried that we don't have an alternative for Iwobi in the middle.

opata crooner 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The fact remains if Benji is fit, no human will bench him in that National team. He will partner Bassey not replace.
