what most people fail to realise is that the national team set up is totally different from the club. NT coaches do not even spend up to 3 full days training with the players. It is virtually impossible for the team to draft a plan within this time frame to suit the team's 2nd striker. NT coaches hardly take risks when it comes to tactics, they simply do not have the luxory of time compared to the club sides where the players train week in week out, where coaches can go into the transfer maket to get players that suits dia tactics. I do not buy into that line of thought that rorh doesnt know how to utilise paul.

Stop embarrassing yourselves, read in between lines to get a better understanding, um!

It seems Cote d Ivoire equalized at the 90th minute. That Nwaeze was red carded. NGA 1 CIV 1. Why do all our national teams have this problem of defense. I tire oooo

elunico:
Alright, I get your point. If you're not buying that, are you then implying that Paul is a terrible player?

elunico:
You don't go to war with only one strategy in your head.

Without Osimhen, how many goals have we been able to score? Rohr needs to be fluid with his tactical approach to games based on the players he has available. It's his choice to continue wasting a slot inviting him, or he invites someone less productive at club level, but gets the job done.

I sincerely appreciate the grit of CIV but why we can't maintain a 1-0 lead is a problem. The only chance we have now is to beat Ghana and qualify for the semis. God help us

Whatever dude. Simple fact is Napoli are looking better without their record signing.. Only a fool would deny that

Dey re not looking better....it only shows dt osimhen is not indispensable in d team unlike when he was @ lille..my opinion

chuks404:
. Omo take am easy. so you expect Gattuso to lose because osimhen had injury, so what is the essence of back up players? Some people sha. When the young man comes back he will be integrated into the team. Your statement clearly shows your motive. Even if you want to analyse situation, do it with decorum.

the fact that paul has been poor in the national team doesnt make him a bad player. We have had players in the past pulling up great numbers in their club side but failed in the NT. I just feel like he needs more time to settle in the NT. With time i think his team mate in the national team will be able to strike a chemistry with paul. Paul also has to adapt to the style of play in the NT. I do not see paul has someone who would do well in our counter attack set up because he lacks pace. He can be more of a plan B emmergency option.

JohnBullMySon:
it's okay. you have already been exposed . that said, onuachu needs more game time. he will still do well.

Exposed??

What are you talking about?

Noahu:
Bros, don't pray he join any of the top 5 European club o. If he eventually does, that's when you'll see the Onauchu we all know. Again, some peeps are already tagging him the "monster machine". The last time I checked, that name is only reserve for a guy who has proven his mettle both in Belgium, France, and now in Italy; he's also proven to be the best striking force when called upon in the National Color. Osimhen is his name.

The day Onauchu leaves Genk would be the beginning of his end. No top team in the top 5 European clubs would want to settle for a striker as Onauchu.

The last time I checked, that name is only reserve for a guy who has proven his mettle both in Belgium, France, and now in Italy; he's also proven to be the best striking force when called upon in the National Color. Osimhen is his name.

The day Onauchu leaves Genk would be the beginning of his end. No top team in the top 5 European clubs would want to settle for a striker as Onauchu.

Karlovich:
Onuachu is currently the highest scoring Nigerian striker this season and like I said earlier it will be highly unfair for him to be dropped from the national team, our striking department lacks depth and it was evident in the second leg game against Sierra Leone when we knew Osimhen wouldn't be playing, this is largely due to to fact that Rohr in his squad lists players like Chukwueze, Iwobi, Simon and Musa as forwards. We need to scout for more players that can fit the CF role, nevertheless Onuachu should still be getting call ups to the national because has more minutes than a lot of our strikers and more goals for his team in a decent league.

Kog45:
Rohr is just the issue here

Richard Owubokiri was the highest goal scorer in the whole Europe,even before he achieved the feat,Owubokiri was damn decent in front of goal.He got invited against South Africa and had a goal but after that Westerhoff refused to extend another invitation to him.. question afterwards was WHY and Westerhoff said Owubokiri was not better than Yekini,Siasia and Amokachie.

Mike Obiku was doing it well with Feyenord,this was a club that was slugging it out with great Ajax of then but guessed what,we have better national team players than him.He cannot benched Yekjni,Amokachie and Siasia.

Onuachu has failed to replicate club form in national team.Who is Onuachu for us to change our style of play to that of Genk...are we playing Napoli style to accommodate Victor Osimehn?NO.National team is a place to show that you are ready at any given opportunity.

Sentiment apart,whom will you picked between Onuachu and Iheanacho to lead eagles attack in the absence of Osimehn?

Karlovich:
I will pick Onuachu who has been getting more game time and scoring for his clubside over Iheanacho who has less minutes this season and goals, it's not like Iheanacho has been excellent since for the eagles in the last few games for us. The era you mentioned in the 90s we had strikers that can deliver then unlike now, even in the mid 2000s we had Patrick Ogunsoto and Tosin Dosunmu scoring for fun in Belgium but couldn't break into the national team.

Kog45:
A good gaffer will picked Onuachu but highly intelligent gaffer who know much about Nigeria national team will never pick Onuachu over Kelechi Iheanacho(reason why Rohr is failing)......with Rohr player like Siasia will not make US 94 squad,Owubokiri or Obiku would have been is preferred choice based on their club form.

Rohr just need to know his players and give us results.

Onuachu has been awful in eagles colour and the last time we reckoned with Belgium based players was in the late 80s and 90s.

I will rather pick 10 goals EPL scorer,12 bundesliga goals scorer,15 French league goalsscorer over 20 goals Belgium league scorer.

I don't rate the Belgium league though my opinion.

Karlovich:
But our strikers in the EPL, Bundesliga and French leagues aren't getting the said goals, we don't have many there as well. In the 2000s we had Martins, Yakubu, Kanu and so many others in top sides and were doing well. In the 80s and 90s many Nigerian players weren't in England, Germany or Italy. In the 90s we had Efan Ekoku who was excellent in the premier league but was largely disappointing in the eagles. Akpoborie hardly got games for us but was great during his playing days in Germany. At that time we had players that can deliver equally unlike now where Asides Osimhen we can't guarantee that any of our strikers can score.
