@bolded we scored 10 goals in four games and we conceded 7 in the qualifiers. That's not an attacking problem but a game management problem. And this has been happening under Gernot Rohr, against Libya we bottled a two goal lead, same against Ukraine. The problem Is not in attack at all but with the coach

daveP:



Not just about earning caps and fading off. But forming a new core. Transition has really gone back over a decade. The qualifiers method by CAF also contributes it own quota. A big issue is repping at the WYC which is one of the most important but now all history.

Well some might bring the Noisy neighbors talk...Ghana that year, but progress should be way vivid than than.

You're right about the structure. It's should be a normal by now. That being said....

Danielnino00:


When u consider the number of defenders that are invited every international break,it gets more funny...

jubilantagida:


They are playing to his strengths. He's more comfortable with them than he has ever been with us.

However, I know this may sound unpopular.
But, I think we have an attack problem, it wouldn't be out of place to have Ighalo and Victor Moses back with the team of they are available.

BascoVanVeli:



No they actually involve him in their offense and he is a focal point like a striker should be. We don't need anybody back, we need a new coach.

Ghana needs to beat CIV by 2 goals margin for us to qualify.

Individual brilliance is what has brought us this far, Onuachu, unfortunately, don't have that skill set.

Subzero047:
Ndidi played 60minutes for Leicester yesterday, Iheanacho also started

Philosopher1979:


both of them including
moses simon
taiwo awoniyi
muazum (in cd nacional in Portugal)

were part of our 2015 under 20 team
this shows our youth and grassroots football is working

lloydtruth:

I can't remember Moses Simon been part of that team.
I can still remember watching this team's first competitive game at the U-17 qualifiers and I fell in love with Muazum (I thought we had another Kanu Nwankwo) but it's unfortunate he hasn't lived up to expectations.
Then I could have sworn that Isaac success was another Samuel Eto, whatever happened to that guy.
At the world cup, Awoniyi was presented with a golden opportunity after Isaac success's injury, he grabbed the opportunity, he could have been Osihmen Senior, but then it didn't happen.
The team also had other quality players that didn't shine.
Musa yahaya
Chidiebere nwakali
Ifeanyi Matthew
Chidera eze etc

1realBobby:
watching Anderlecth vs genk at the moment

and all i can see is that Onuachu cannot play alone up front. He looks clueless and lost whenever he is played as a lone striker. I believe that has been his issue in the super eagles.

I don't know why this genk coach decided to play him alone up front today, but it is definitely not working out.. He is this type of one-two player... He can't hold the ball at all, so he thrives when he has someone to quickly pass the ball to, he moves into good space, gets the ball back and scores. His finishing is actually top notch.

The coach had to bring in Cyriel dessers late in the second half, to assist him up front.

I believe a combo of Paul Onuachu and Victor Osimhen should do the trick in the super eagles... Victor could be the key to unlocking the beastly form of Paul Onuachu in the super eagles. We can't have such a deadly finisher and leave him to rot, just because he can't play alone up front.
