Senegal has Mane, Egypt has Sallah, Algeria has Mahrez.

Which world class player does the team have?

Firmino is an attacking midfielder playing as a striker

If Firmino na real number 9, I think he will be selfish



you get time sef.

the primary job of a striker is to score goals, not play for the team. Everybody has their job on the pitch. A 9 scores goals, not assist. The midfeilders are the one's whose job is to assist. that Bobby relinquishes that part of his job doesn't make him a role model for strikers.

Heck, you won't see any striker aspiring to be like Firminho, because he doesn't do his job. How can wingers be persistently outscoring you and you're claiming to be a striker....

shebi with their World Class players, that's why Algeria and Egypt are ahead of Nigeria on the FIFA rankings abi?

Thank you ooo

You can’t take it away from Firmino ,butt sorry I don’t even think dude see his self as a striker self ,someone that Tammy Abraham and Danny ings might score more than him this season and he is playing for a better team than them

Yes he is world class ,but he isn’t a striker

Oga leave bonaventure alone

If na your favorite European player you no go talk this one

Apart from de Bruyne Messi mane di Maria and few others how many of the best European players aren’t selfish ?

Or is it mbappe that doesn’t pass to cavani or Neymar ?

Abeg leave Dennis alone
There are many. Even CR7 passes in certain situations where his teammates are in a much better position.
Dennis better cut this thing out or he won't be playing for a big club anytime soon.

Your excuse of Dennis not playing for a big club is very wrong

How many clear chance have you watch Dennis refuse to pass ?

I guess you are going by what those South Africans do complain of instead of watching Dennis your self

Please how many games have you watched Dennis this season and he refuses to pass ?

Omo Dennis never score much like that so if him see goal make him score abeg

Do you know how many scoring chances Pedro León have created this season for Eibar with no assist to his name and just 1 goal ,I am sure if he took those chances he might have gotten some goals and assists but Eibar na bang average team nah

Luis Suarez was more selfish in Liverpool and Ajax than Barcelona where he does pass the ball most times

If Dennis is playing for a big club he will pass the ball ,make him steal the small glory he fit steal for club Brugge for now

Seriously though - Bonaventure Dennis needs to stop being selfish.
Little things like this is what cost teams in tournaments. He isn't playing for a big club... At least try and not create animosity with your teammate(Tau).
WE saw how Salah selfishness almost cause wahala between him and Mane.
Ambition is not bad but he needs to chill out.

I agree

I've watched like 6-7 of his games. The fact you don't want to admit it is just funny.
At least some are covering it up by saying he is "ambitious" and "how you need to be selfish to be a top player"...
Anyhow na here we dey..

Guys, let us call a spade a spade. Dennis is a selfish player. Honestly, would you have the same stance in arguement if he did the same thing he did yesterday in a Super Eagles match? I believe your assertion is due to the fact that you don't have any stake on the performance of his current club.

I like this squad apart from shehu abdulahi and musa

Would have like nwakaeme to be there,he deserves to be there ahead of musa, nobody should come and sing about past glory in my ears here but i am happy with dessers first call up

So no samuel kalu, i am happy about this also because all players need to merit their call up, or are my eyes deceiving me because we know rohr loves kalu
