Isaac Success has come into his own, he should be there ahead of ineffective Ighalo.

Stewpid decision taken an Academy player over seasoned professionals.

About Joel and Onazi, I must say Rohr is drunk.

You're insatiable, mate, you don't want an Academy player over seasoned professional, yet you want rookie Isaac Success over seasoned Ighalo. How!

this kelechi nwakali is yet to convince me and handing him a call up in the expense of a more deserving player like agbo is injustice. this kid is yet to do any thing tangible since leaving the shores of africa for europe but gets hyped always as the heir to john obi mikel. its high time rohr sound out a player like billing anyanwu to know if he is willing to switch allegiance to nigeria before his country of birth(denmark) caps him. also ebere eze is another worthy alternative who should be monitored in close quarters before we lose him to scotland

nice video , even if they have only picked the best side of him , that made him look like Mercello . his positional pay and off the ball movement is a delight to watch and the guy get correct eye for sweet pass.

in conclusion he is a natural left footer .Idowu and Echejile should get ready to pee in their pants if this man become the answer to our problem

I never wanted ighalo to be dropped no reason my comment.

I argued here about a week ago that ighalo should not only take the blame because of the World Cup miss,sorry the coach had no choice than to invite him,many people attacked me here in different way because I was supportive of ighalo

Now my brother please ask them in this thread which striker should be invited ahead of ighalo?

You are not serious. Ighalo has played more games and is also in form. Nacho has played one full game and a sub appearance.
If Ighalo is been criticized for his WC performance while his club form is ignored, why shouldn't Nacho be as well? Or do you think Nacho had a better WC?
As an allround 9, Ighalo regardless of what you think is a better option than Nacho. Simple.
Where did you get this idea that Ighalo is being criticized solely for his World Cup performance? The way some of you talk, it is as if Ighalo just started playing games for Nigeria at the World Cup.

Is it today people started criticizing Ighalo? If after all this time, you still can't understand the utter uselessness of a player with four goals in twenty two appearances for Nigeria, then you should refrain from any arguments as regards him

What has Ighalo done in the GWG? Why is he better than any forward past, present or future that we have had? He has had one of the worst records for Nigeria, but no, let us wipe the slate clean because he is a 'complete' forward and a nation of at least 250 million citizens home and abroad can obviously not present a better number 9 undecided

Going by the last few games at SE colours - Ighalo is a better option than Nacho as an out and out 9. Simple as that.

The same league our captain Mikel is playing at?? Unless we stick to the 3-5-2 and assume Musa is one of the strikers, what is wrong with both Nacho and Ighalo competing for the other one?
If we are playing with one striker - Ighalo will ALWAYS BE a better option than Nacho. Nacho can not play as an out and out 9. Ighalo is a better option.

Hey... Mbappe is better. But not waaaaayyy better. That has always been my stand. I maintain the gap in quality between both is not large at all. Nacho trumps in certain attributes just as Mbappe trumps in several other attributes among which is his insane "road runner" speed. But again... Wetin concern Mbappe for this matter? It doesn't bother me that anyone even thinks Akpom is better than Nacho. My own is this... You are WRONG to say Nacho is not in good, fine or top form right now especially after seeing his preseason stats coming into the new season that just began last weekend. Haba... Na wa for you. Just dissing Nacho anyhow.

You people should leave Kelechi out of your discussions for once. It is not always Ighalo vs. Iheanacho or Kayode vs. Iheanacho

So, let us say you want to drop a forward. You will drop Kelechi before you drop Ighalo, abi?

What can Ighalo offer you? Put their stats side by side. How many goals? How many assists?

Ighalo has 22 games, with 4 goals and 1 assist

Kelechi has 20 games with 8 goals and 4 assists

Kelechi dey like bumper package of Ighalo. If Ighalo is Camon X, Kelechi is Camon X Pro. If Ighalo is Android 7.0, Kelechi is Android 8.0

So, please, allow us to complain about the weakest forward in the team. Forward that does not give us hope of goal, forward that once he enters, we know say we no fit win match again. Forward that cannot inspire confidence, what are we using him for?

Nice catching up. I was like 6 pages behind.

This is my take on the list:

1. Akpeyi and Ezenwa has no business on SE with a 20 year old preferred to them at the WC. Ezenwa is not even the #1 goalie in Enyimba and far from one of the best in the NPFL.

2. Jamiu Collins is not new to me. I remember he was a teammate of Theophillus Solomon at the time. Is he ahead of Deji Beyreuther?

3. Rohr is predictable with his midfield. Just keeping with his promise as regards K Nwakali. He should not hesitate to drop players who fail to impress (Joel Obi inclusive). Enough of the slow substitution approach.

4. I’m okay with the forward line FOR NOW.

Kelechi is the standard. That is why they are always using him to compare.

Ighalo that does not know where net is, we are back to arguing about how hold-up play translates to goals. We will use hold up play and collect three points cheesy

We agree o that Ighalo is a better number 9 than Kelechi, but he is not a better forward than Kelechi. So, we must find better forwards than Ighalo. They exist, but some agents of retrogression have decided that the people of Israel will not see the Promised land

We must suffer gnashing of teeth with Ighalo as our #9 because Nigeria does not have a better number 9 than Ighalo.

No you are complaining about your ONLY true out and out number 9. If you ask now who should replace replace Ighalo as a 9. - not one reasonable option will be suggested.

Thanks so much Marvellous Basco. Same thing I have been saying for ages. I said and analysed during those debates that Mbappe will develop along the line of a true physical monster. He is the ultimate teen athlete right now. Physically strong, super fast, and got skills to go with it all. It is no wonder his idol from age 14 or so till now is Cristiano Ronaldo.

For the Physical aspects, I rate Mbappe far ahead of Nacho. Their development won't be the same. Mbappe is developing into a physically imposing, super fast, super skillful Lethal forward... He is brawn and brains... But Nacho is taking the path of the more brains than brawn. His Vision, Finishing and ability to exploit space as a true raumdeuter make him another lethal weapon in development.

Two players, different paths but yes all-round, I will say Mbappe is better... but breaking it down to aspects of plays and individual qualities.. we all will see unbiasedly that both soar in certain attributes over the other with Mbappe having a little more over Nacho and Nacho having some over Mbappe.

This is why I maintain the gap in quality between both youngsters is not large as many want us to believe.
