holllandis: Go and watch all the passes you are talking about? how many ball to feet have Ighalo missed? Most passes that musa make always places the striker at disadvantage! It is either behind the striker or far away from the striker. If you can examine closely the balls are closer to the keeper than the strikers or just wayward passes in all honesty. 1 Like |

Sanchez01:hey!! you are not that wrong, but higuain at his peak is very good at positioning, he just usually misses than he scores, when at madrid, he would replace benzema at the 60 minutes mark and would still see more good chances than benzema who played more minutes, musa has always been like this, that is why he is not great, just only good, great speed, average dribbling but poor execution, we dont have to blame ighalo here, musa has always been like this, he is not decisive at all, for a player of his calibre, i think it is shameful, when u beat a wing back and dashing towards the box 18, you look up to see available team mates, if they are few or they are not reachable, then you can go for the kill, but musa will just throw an aimless pass into the box waiting for miracle to happen just like The over hyped Townsend during his tottenham days, great speed, great dribbling but no end product, i would prefer onyekuru and Chukwueze on the wings. musa is an expert dog used for hunting, and an expert dog used for hunting does not spoil the meat of his games or else he pays with his own skin , musa needs to sit on the bench for sometime. |

MChaze25: They gave another person in the first game and nothing happened till he came to the rescue just 5 minutes after he entered the fray! Ighalo is still the highest goal scorer in this tourney!.... The only problem i can say for Ighalo is positioning but for wastefulness i beg to differ 2 Likes |

What happened to Chukwueze's pass to Ighalo during the South African game? Ighalo needs to improve in his positioning. Stephendeals: |

Collins4u1:aspect he needs to work on at which age ? Musa has NEVER been a fantastic crosser of the ball coming from the wings, he does all the hard work of beating opponents but that final ball is his albatross. You can check any sample videos of his earlier matches to verify my claims, just that any Eagles coach will want him around for his calmness and discipline, besides his stamina belies his age |

Ahmed Musa, with all his flaws, is an asset to this team. His runs, at least keep the opponents' attack at bay. zanogo: |

If not for ighalo , Nigeria would have been ousted by the indomitable Lion of Cameron by now. His goals apart, did anyone notice the quality of the assist he provided iwobi for the 3rd goal? Now back to Musa, I personally believe he should be benched to allow room for Moses Simon. Musa end product is visionless. He crosses the ball to no one, or gives final passes to nobody in particular. He needs to watch how a Kelvin de bryne of mancity or christain Erickson of Tottenham delivers their final crosses or passes. They look up, know where the striker is, then give the cross or pass. But Musa is been poor I must say 2 Likes |

Thou he is trying to b a selfless leader but is lack of confidence in front of goal was his major problem. On a good day Ahmed Musa with cut many of those crosses and look up,if their is no free man he will hit target. Rem Nigeria vs Argentina and some other goals like that. |

zanogo:Benzema has more positioning than Higuain but isn't as clinical. Higuain barely lost a one-on-one encounter while Benzema lost a lost. Why Benzema is considered a better alternative to Higuain is because you'd always find him in the right place and at the right time. That is the only one edge that Benzema had over Higuain at Madrid. Blaming the Super Eagles' Team is unfair. Most of these guys are not used to one another as we think. You wonder why the Argentinian Messi is not the same as the Barcelona Messi, it is because of understanding as this. National sides barely allow their players play together for long. They never stop experimenting and introducing new players to the team, while the story is different for club teams who play over 50 matches in a season. Musa is an incredible player and his presence in that team means everything. 1 Like |

facts1234:This is the bane of an average nigerian football follower, you will keep listening to stuffs like " he is trying" , ".... but they didnt beat us up to 3-0" etc look football is won by goals scored, not by running or harrasing opponents without any orientation, we love applauding physical attributes more than mental attributes, do you know that if musa was decisive enough, we should be 3-0 up by 70 mins, harrasing opponents, running, tackling without goals is futile just like pouring pure water inside the ocean, musa is a good finisher, i can testify to that, but his decision making inside the box is terrible and that is why he wont be a great player, just a good player. |

holllandis: Good one. While at that, also inform the coaching crew that Chukwubueze, though he scored in our last match should be encouraged to pass the ball when it is necessary. He did well, but we will score more goals if his likes pass the ball when it matters. This point on to the finals, more goals will keep our hope alive |

holllandis: You're right but Ighalo should do more with his movement in & around the box, he should attack the near post quite often whenever a ball is about to come in from the flanks. |

holllandis:I think you watched the back of your TV. In our last match, Musa only made one good parallel cross and players were there just that the ball was a poor diagonal cross.every other cross was wayward. Anytime you guys blame Ighalo, he silences you on the pitch. You did not even blame Musa for not being able to cross a ball to the centre of the pack but blaming Ighalo......when Musa cut in and layed the ball for another player, he failed to look up and it was another wayward pass. The role of a 9 is not as easy as you think. A 9 needs to be fed well and as it stands, Ighalo is our best striker whether you like it or not. 1 Like |

Sanchez01:it seems you are watching different football, higuain is classic no 9, with a great sense of positioning, benzema is good with holding the ball, that is why he drifts wide most times, higuain has more presence in th box than benzema , sometimes benzema do come to the midfield to collect ball, i have never encounter any football site ( foreign) that asserts that benzema has more positioning in the box than higuian, i dare you to share any if you have.......or maybe the positioning you are talking about is another thing entirely FIFA 19 RATINGS POSITIONING HIGUAIN 92 BENZEMA 85 1 Like |

I said it before, Ighalo is never a striker u can rely on. His positioning is zero. Most of those balls musa passes in ought to be converted . How would a good striker see his 7 or 11 moving in and he still remains outside the six yard box, doing what? Abegi! davillian: |

pyro62:Then keep shut and stop saying trash if you do not have evidence. In the game against SA, I cannot remember Musa giving Ighalo any pass aside Chiqueze that gave him a through ball to the right which Ighalo tried to lift but the keeper covered well. How many times did Musa pass to Ighalo in that game Mr. Idiota? |
