As far as chamce creation is concerned, a midfielder should have the upper hand but the stats here proved otherwise

Chance creation includes crosses though, so a midfielder has to create chances through bodies while a winger just has cross into space

Meliforme:


Big chance(s) created
Moses Simon
13 big chances created, played a total of 30 games, started 29 games, averaged 78 minutes per game.

Michael Olise
8 big chances created, played a total of 26 games, started 12 games, averaged 44 minutes per game.

Eberechi Eze
1 big chance created. played a total of 13 games, started 6 games, averaged 47 minutes per game..


Dribbling
Chidera Ejuke
64% dribble accuracy with an average of 3 dribbles made per game.

Eberechi Eze .
61% dribble accuracy with an average of 1.1 dribbles made per game

Michael Olise .
45% dribble accuracy with an average of 1.1 dribbles made per game

Why are you comparing wingers with midfielders and you have to factor the leagues they play in too, do you think it is as easy to create a big chance in the English league compared with the French league, Iwobi has more vision than Moses Simon and he didn't appear here for a reason

Meliforme:


I tell you the truth that if we get our best hands to play, those lads can't make our starting eleven. They play for good clubs in the EPL, but that doesn't make them the best. They will only add to the squad depth.

In Nigeria we celebrate names that play in big clubs, without taking good time to decipher their real quality.

In what world will Olise and Eze won't make our starting eleven, no player in our squad comes close to them in terms of dribbling and chance creation

Chukwueze and Simon as wide midfielders in a 4-4-2 take me back to Rohr!

TheLoneCitizen:


Because Dessers doesn't like it. Man is technically better than Moffi, but gave that role to him.

Osimhen will run.

Osimhen will not play supporting striker to anyone, he is technically deficient in that area, I hope Dessers is a world class link up player because otherwise I don't see how this formation is going to work

drDoom3:


I think it is actually a smart move.

We are world class in one area alone - CF.

Then, just overload that position and the quality of your players will pull you through.

E.g Norway plays 4-4-2 with Haaland and Sorloth who are the same type of striker. Uruguay with Cavani and Suarez. Etc.

No need to be romancing sexy wingplay like Eguavoen was doing. Just put your best players on the pitch and they will show why they are your best.

How do you plan on getting the ball to the strikers then, Hoofball and hope?

Not even if the coach picks me which means he knows he will be picked it just depends on if he is currently playing, see audacity

Quick to arrest"ESN/IPOB" while bandits take over the whole country...

Can Nigeria just divide please...

They should be quick to arrest Ipob/ESN we don't want terrorists here

Meliforme:
Top Eleven Super Eagles players with the best passing technique.

Kelechi Nwakali
Okechukwu Azubuike
Innocent Bonke
Chidera Ejuke
Oghenekaro Etebo
Alhassan Yusuf
Obinna Nwobodo
Raphael Onyedika
Moses Simon
Alex lwobi
Frank Onyeka

Innocent who?? Abeg tell me it's not the Innocent Bonke that I know

andrewbaba44:

They should have given him a 1 year extension at least

Yes but they are trying to make way for Leon King a youngstar

BOOOMNAIJA:
What's ur take.....

It's d inclusion of d Israeli based Adebayo adeleye goalkeeper for me.

We only need three things to turn around d Super Eagles.....let adeleye take over d goalkeeping department and do away with troost ekong in that defence, then get rid of that Salisu Yusuf man from d coaching crew...shikena.

3 coaches and the nature of our call ups have not changed, it looks like jazz at this point

BannedLarge:


Was it not the same non agidi bassey that we saw vs ghana

You saw a non agidi, I have been shouting about his talents since that match

charlesemeka85:
yes

hmm link?

mostob:
Then Iwobi and Aribo flanking Ndidi as double 8s. Iwobi as a DLP, Aribo playing closer to the box...
Osimehn leading the line too
Seriously, naija team ain't bad. Our problem is coaching

Our problem is not just coaching but squad depth,if we had a capable replacement for Ndidi we would have been going to the world cup

charlesemeka85:
Osaze is ours already. Also there is another young Spanish born 9ja cb at elche in laliga

He should be monitored as wel this coming season for a possible call if he performs well in laliga

Has he commited to us?

Amedino99:
We should calm down Sha. Even rohr plays fantastic in friendlies.

ChrisKels:

That was a nice one from Calvin Ughelumba. I think we have a got a good young player in him despite his obvious shortcomings. However, we need to extend this grace to Osaze Urhogide too, he is another great up and coming bull of a centre back.

If we get him its game over for Ekong

andrewbaba44:


Calm down subzero

I love the boy ,he deserves all the praise he is getting ,bassey is destined for bigger things ,but please you are too quick with what you said .

I was joking, I was dissappointed not to hype the boy here on europa league final day , the guy play scatter
