Onyekuru, Okereke and lookman will score this weekend

Bolowolowo:
While many on here have been satisfied with our 3rd place finish at AFCON, the American commentator on Bein Sports said it was a disappointing run. Other pundits have said similar things. This goes to show you that many in the football world hold us to a high standard.

MetalJigsaw:
Osimhen with a second goal.

TheSuperNerd:
Hmmm.... which bottle are you on now my good man?

Clementoke:
Onuachu with a goal.

charlesemeka85:
Cc forgiveness

M7even:
Kayode must now score to balance this matter.. If he doesn't score then Forgiveness must admit that okereke and onuachu are better.

MetalJigsaw:
Osimhen with a brace

They need to test this boy for substance after the game.

Komekn your point about Wingers putting in good crosses consistently i think it may also be an issue of the modern game. compared to wingers in the 90s Chris Waddle, Steve Mcmaneman, Beckham(though he's more of the early 2000s), Overmars, Finidi, heck even Garba lawal guys who could cross like no man's business but today in the top 6 of the EPL you can barely find any effective crossers of the ball. dribblers aplenty but crossing? for some reason they all just love to dribble. some are better at it than others e.g hazard, salah while you have others like zaha, willian, Lingard etc the only winger i can say reminded of wingers of old are ribery at his peak and robben. it's like alot of our wingers graduated from the school of pius ikedia aimless dribbles

Hahahaha... and Paul Onuachu gets his first Genk goal... what a Friday.

Starboytwo:
In the next 3 Afcons we should win 2... Or the 3 self...

I like the KOC Frontline, I know awoniyi, but I have really yet to see okereke, odey, or very convinced on onuachu, but we have many boys nowadays ehn, boy, I never even mention Musa, the skippo, iheanacho(well), onyekuru nko.. O boy, the forward is full already... Still one or 2 Longshot eg lookman, the long talk about eze, ejaria etc( haven't seen these one's) nobody should mention "adebayor" again, or what's his name? The chealsea guy...

Someone also noted earlier, all our boys are starters in Europe top 5 leagues, the benchmark or requirements is very high now... Nowadays it's not about starting anymore, but starting in the Top leagues... If you dey start for Croatia or Romania, na you sabi...

The middle is taking shape already, evident in our last game against Ukraine, especially the first half, infact it's a debate here on who to be dropped, etebo or Ndidi(Etebo is my best GwG player tho)to accommodate the new revelation, Aribo.... He is definitely an upgrade on the now retired Mikel and Ogu...

Ndidi - Liecester
Etebo- Stoke( pls leave this club, abeg)
Iwobi - everton
Aribo - rangers

All our defenders are starters in the very competitive top 5 leagues
Ekong - Udinese
Aina- Torino
Omeruo - leganes, I think...
Jamilu - paderborn
Awaziem - leganes.... Others, like
Balogun - Brighton
Ebuehi - benfica ( injury stay far away)
Tomori - chealsea (if) to be honest, I don't like all this "if" people, stay one place let's know...


Only God can save us with our Goalkeeping department, But Uzoho is coming good recently, i wish and I pray for better form, I don't know about the homebase guy, or the 3rd guy, or alampasu or whoever, this is definitely our weakness, I pray we tackle it....

All in all, I want to S/O to the true fans of the super Eagles of Nigeria, happy merryment in advance, these boys will definitely come good... We have a really good squad in our hands... Young, fast and still improving boys...

Modified

And I don't really see how kayode can improve the team or ajagun, I use to love him then, u17 or 20... I don't see these two adding to their cap in the GWG again, but who I be anyway...

Bros, when did we start citing OGN as a legitimate news source? Those chaps sit back in their offices in Lagos (or where) and manufacture news/interviews from their behinds.


O pari

I think he may be American. I know the Journalist. He is pretty versed on Nigerian football. He is one of those foreign journalists that believes Nigeria has a new golden generation rising strong.

Check out his posts and you will be stunned to discover how much he does know about Nigerian football although he makes the occasional gaffes here or there but he is really good... at least for a foreigner.

He wrote that abut Osimhen and hours ago he was singing Osimhen's praise again and even tagged this same tweet/thread. Zach is in love with Nigerian football most especially this new generation of Nigerian Super talents.

I want you to look at how Alexander Trent crosses the ball with pin point accuracy and then tell me that the art of crossing is a dying art form.

This is Liverpool that doesn't play with a point man.

However, what's been happening is that wingers play like strikers and are not always looking yo feed the ball but score.

So in effect the wing backs have become the modern day wingers of football.

That not withstanding this is a very basic requirement the ability to cross by a winger. Something we are really lacking. Unfortunately Iwobi plays for Nigeria predominantly in the AM otherwise on the wing his crosses are satisfactory.

Awaziem is not a starter
