At bolded.... I hope you know you are exaggerating because Nigeria actually will make Top 10 in the world when it comes to Strikers Depth. Perhaps Basco took it a little too far saying Top 5 in terms of depth at the Striker/CF position and but he wasn't all that off point.

For Africa, no other nation comes close. Nigeria is easily #1 in Africa. No nation in Asia (AFC) or Oceania (OFC) comes close. Same as in the whole of Concacaf.
The only teams with more depth than Nigeria come from Conmebol and UEFA and they won't be more than 9 at worst.

If anyone wants proof, give me time and I will drop the comparative lists.

Now this doesn't mean we are World class. Nope. We aren't. This is just about the #9 role. And truly we have depth in this role.

Are you talking about top quality strikers or are you talking about strikers with one or two goals?

Let it slide..we can as well note it as one of d gaffes in 2021 ...(top 5 strikers in d world)

The guy said that Nigeria had the top 5 striker depth in the world and had the audacity to call me a slowpoke

BascoVanVeli:
Where did I say Nigeria has the best strikers in the world? Now when I ask u to name other countries u tell me about English players again, isn't that an attribute of a slow poke?

I won't name the strikers of the other countries, believe what you want

BascoVanVeli:
Omg u are slower than creek water. Are u telling me Rashford and Kane are names of countries Because I can swear I said Nigeria was in the top 5 in the world when it comes to strikers. U don't even know what u are arguing about and u are talking about someone embarrassing himself.

You are confusing yourself or are you being deliberately stupid? Rashford and Kane are English players?

BascoVanVeli:
Do you know the meaning of top 5?

France have who? Benzema doesn't play for them and Giroud is a bench player. So tht leaves Laka.

Belgium have Lukaku and who?

Spain have Villarreal's strikers and morata. Then who?

Brazil have who? Gabriel Jesus and FirmiNo

U are just a casual.

Where did you say top 5 or am I missing something? I just listed 9 names of English players with 9 goals or more did you not see that

Do you want me to go into other top European nations or are you not embarrassed enough?

Arabiandude:
That Bamford guy is quite good, I have been closely following him

I never knew he would survive in the EPL, he plays like a girl

BascoVanVeli:
Name countries that have multiple players with 10 goals?

U always make dull comments and run away when facts are come out. Is Onuachu not fighting for the golden boot in Europe? Apart from KC and Denis every other player I named should score 10 goals this season.

England: KC 1
Germany: Awoniyi 5 & Denis 1
France: Moffi 6
Italy: Osimhen 2 and Simi 7

Again name the country with these many strikers. All u people know how to do is condemn what somebody says. Go and do your research and let's have a real debate.

You sound like an ignorant but let me educate you

England alone has

Kane - 14
Calvert Lewin - 12
Vardy - 11
Bamford - 11
Wilson - 10
Watkins - 9
Rashford - 9


I don't want to go to France, Spain, Italy and Belgium and you are coming to argument with 1 goals

elyte89:
Dis thread na real cruise..u mention like 5 strikers..and none of dem has hit double digit ..even if one add all deir goals together,it is not up to a top striker goal dis season

Na keyboard warriors we be

BascoVanVeli:
Don't just disagree because it was me who said it. Name 5 countries with a better crop of strikers?

We have strikers in 4 out of 5 of Europe's top list.
England: KC
Germany: Awoniyi & Denis
France: Moffi
Italy: Osimhen and Simi

I have not even mentioned Sadiq, Onuachu and the lad who the comment was about.

The funny thing is that none of these strikers of these strikers have gotten up to 10 goals in their respective leagues and you want to challenge for world stage

What about Sebastian Osigwe?

Man city player traps a ball, Commentator: Look at how he trapped the ball with a 360 degree spin, Pep Guardiola is a genius

These commentators love to overhype Man city even when they are not playing well

Gundogan has turned to Kdb in the absence of kdb

Iwobi starts for Everton

Oforborh played 90 minutes for Wycombe yesterday, a day after he returned to the club

Hassenhuttle will be having pstd of that 9-0 Leicester thrashing

Man U will use Southampton for target practice this night

BascoVanVeli:
So u can support Saka to be captain of a club the magnitude of arsenal but Victor Osimhen shouldn't even be mentioned near the super eagles band Cool

I meant provisional captain like Mount was for Chelsea the other day, he's a long way from being the main captain

I repeat David Luiz should have never been a defender

Ramsdale is going to single handedly relegate Sheffied United at this point

Saka will be Arsenal's captain in no time

Aribo makes Scottish team of the month

Can't wait to see Josh Maja play for Fulham

It depends on who you're playing against and how you use your Rwb and Lwb. If you're playing against an inferior opponent, you can use Traditional wingers as your RWB and LWB while if you're playing against superior opponents like Brazil, you can use full backs as your RWB and LWB. I dont think its a negative formation just use it correctly

4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation trumps 3-5-2 anytime

12large1:
Don't underestimate 352 boss, its a balanced formation because you can be solid at CB, Midfield, wings and Upfront. Your RWB and LWB conditioning needs to be astute because the sort of fitness level needed for that formation is crazy

3-5-2 is a negative formation, there not much creativity in the middle because the midfielders are trying to plug the gaps created by the overlapping wing backs, it is not possession based and usually relies on cross and nod

Rohr has used it several times because we don't have good enough midfielders but now we have a good midfield I see no need for it

12large1:
More reasons to protect the defense since its our weakness and capitalize on our Wingers/Fullbacks and Strikers.

Its also a more balanced team

This your logic sef

12large1:
I think he will be a solid Bench player for Aribo, etebo or Iwobi until he proves himself. Honestly, the guy looks like our most impressive midfielder on "Youtube" but thats just YouTube. Leta see how he performs for 90 Minutes. For now, with the likes of Aribo, iwobi and Ejaria, Midfield creativity is the least of our problems. We need DM (back ups for ndidi) and some solid CB.

SE strength - strikers, Creative midfield, Wingers and fullback

SE weakness - CB.

Our best formation due to our strengths vs weakness should be a 352 attacking and 532 defending (my tuppence)

How could you say our weakness is CB and then suggest we use 3 CBs

TheSuperNerd:
Nnamdi Ofoborh returns to Wycombe Wanderers on loan from Bournemouth for the rest of the 20/21 season.
