As for me, a player who can not hack it in the training ground, can not hack it in match situation. Iheanacho in scrimmage matches in America pulled wonderful stats. In training games with the EDS pulled wonderful stats. In the training games with he main squad, we heard of Iheanacho scoring a lot of goals and doing funny celebrations.

Doing well for City and Nigeria was bound to happen because he was doing it.

There was no exciting report of Ighalo in training. Why start him ahead of an Obaje who was convincing and good. It does not add up. Ighalo not doing well in those qualifiers would have been averted if Coach Siasia stuck to those doing well in training.

There are no strikers in Portugal now that will do better than Nani and CR7. That is why they start. Not because of experience and number of games. No midfielder better than Renato Sanches. So he starts.

There is no way Deschamps will tell us that he has better players Greizmann and Pogba. That is why the should start. In training and on the pitch, these two will outperform any French player. That was why it was crazy leaving them on the bench.

The experience thing is just a theory to excuse mediocrity. Just as I pointed in Pellegrini leaving Bony and Demeichelis longer than necessary. In training, he would have seen they won't cut it. Leaving Adarabioyo, Iheanacho and Denayer out due to lack of experience gave mediocrity room to breathe in the squad.

If they are better they should do it in training. If they can not then, Coach Siasia will be giving mediocrity room.

That coach should still explain why he left Obaje out.

The simple case of starting Ighalo instead of Obaje hu u claimed did better in trainning simply tells u it is nt jst all abt who does better in training.

Coaches typically field players they trust can deliver the goods outside the training ground.

I still be mod, wait make I check, lol. I've watched him severally and his overall game needs some improvement.

In terms of talent, the last couple of under 17 tournaments has produced 5 potentially world class talents.

1. Isaac Success
2. Iheanacho
3. Osimhen
4. Yahaya
5. Nwakali

I keep saying it dat this is the U23. The stakes are higher. It is expected that majority of the participating players should have 3-5 yrs senior professional experience. Sadiq Umar jst like Awoniyi may nt jst b able to face the opposing competition. Imoh and Ajayi to me are ahead of Umar and Awoniyi hu to me should b at the U20 camp preparing for the Sudan clash. I am really sceptical abt Sadiq's spare heading the attack. This is a national team set up and Sadiq is nt tested at this stage. I cannot put my stake on him to b d arrow ahead of the attack.

Obaje, Chikatara and Samuel could have brought more to this selection dan Awoniyi and Sadiq.

forgiveness:
Yahaya is no where near potentially world class talents.

Where did he play last season? How many matches did he play?

I rate Osimhen higher than all on your list.

Nwakali? I still dey observe the boy.

Yahaya just signed for Porto after just a few months in portugal. The world class potential is certainly there.

forgiveness:
So, is he better than Awoniyi who signed for Liverpool?

Remember, Liverpool is rated higher than all the clubs the top players on your list play for?

I rate Awoniyi higher than Yahaya.

Although, I don't want him to be selected for the Olympics because he is too timid, fragile, young, inexperience and out of form but nevertheless you cannot take away his talent from him.


My top 5 potentially world class talents from the U17 are.

1, Osimhen
2, Success
3, Iheanacho
4, Awoniyi
5, Nwakali

tbaba1234:
Have you watched Awoniyi recently?

I have watched both, yahaya still has it. Awoniyi has stalled.

I saw Awoniyi at the Africa Olympics football qualifiers. The team was bad I mean very bad. So, how do you expect him to shine without a good passer?

Yes, he was very porous in that match and recently but talent na talent and you can't just loose it in a day.

How did he stall? He saw more games in a better league than Musa Yahaya last season.

So, how did he stall? Siasia just wan destroy that boy career by forcing him into the Olympic Football team.

The boy na small boy compare to his peers. He lacks confidence and he is too weak to face tough defenders but that doesn't remove an atom of talent from him.


He needs to chop akpu and carry weight for his stamina.

Icon4s:
Awoniyi ahead of Nwakali?

Bros no o. We are talking abt talent here o.

Icon4s:
Awoniyi's lack lustre performance was part of y that team looked poor upfront. Ajayi and Osimhen contributed far more than Awoniyi in that tourney.

forgiveness:
Bros, I know na. When I see a talented player I know.

Nwakali is not ahead of Awoniyi. You just wait for the U20 tournament then you will know.

forgiveness:
No no no no. I no gree. From the centre backs to the wing backs, to the Milfield( Azubuike and Etebor are exceptional) and to the wingers na.....


So, you can't put all the blame on Awoniyi. That one I no gree.

I saw the match, all flopped. That's all.

Did u ever watch Yahaya play at U17 & U20?

Icon4s:
Awoniyi is average. Nwakali is among the most talented 17yrs olds in the world today.

Talented players can b spotted once dey play at U17. Compare Nwakali of U17 & Awoniyi of U17.

forgiveness:
Hmm! You mean a player who came to replace Success and still went ahead to score 4 goals and 3 - 4 assist is lesser than Yahaya who started the tournament from start to finish but scored only 4 goals and 3 assist at the U17. Erh! Awoniyi outclassed him because he saved us in many games and single handedly won matches.

At the U20 tournament, Yahaya was outclassed by Awoniyi by miles. Scored two goals and 2 assist(thereabout) while Yahaya scored only 1 goal.


Now, see the statistics with your eyes. Who better?
