If his criteria includes club performance, Osi should take a hike

Do your realize that Osimhen is the joint highest scorer of the 2021 AFCON qualification?

Many people on this thread do not watch our players and it shows...

You get the feeling here that people aren't really excited when simy scores like the other guy even though simy is at the big 3

Westerhof era...Mike Obiku scoring for Psv Eindhoven week in week out..Richard owobukiri etc..we were not that excited cause they were not better than the Yekini's, Siasia's etc. Same situation here.

Yes you are right.It was a period we have three good strikers in Rashidi Yekini,Siasia,Amokachi but average Efan Ekoku who I believed was not better than Owubokiri and Obiku was able to make the team.

It all depends on Rohr football philosophy cos during Westerhoff era Samson Siasia and Amokachi paired Yekini upfront but can we have Victor Osimehn/Onuachu or Osimehn/Simy just like we have Osimehn/Iheanacho against Benin and Lesotho.

I think Simy deserve a call up though Onuachu solid displayed against Lesotho and Benin made things more complicated for Rohr,honestly four strikers in 23 man list is not a bad idea.

Mike Obiku played for Feyenoord not PSV.

Yes he is not rated here except for someone like andrew44 who rated him highly.

Some even tagged him a PK specialist but the guy is a proven striker,scoring a brace against Napoli says it all.

No team in Africa can match our talent presently. Only a few countries in the world. hahaha! ChrisKels is now a convert. League of extraordinary marksmen in Supernerds voice!

ChrisKels:
AC Milan in a tug of war with Lyon for the signature of Paul Onuachu, while Bayern battles Sevilla for the services of UD Almeria talisman, Sadiq Umar

SS Lazio back in for Simmy Nwankwo as Genoa lurks


Can't wait to see our options after summer transfer window.

Imagine having striking options of;

Osimhen - Napoli

Iheanacho - Leicester

Onuachu - AC Milan*

Sadiq - Sevilla *

Simmy - Lazio*


Outsiders; Moffi who might join a bigger team in France, Ike Ugbo who also might move to a bigger league and team, Fit again Isaac Success who might regain his form as Watford are EPL bound etc


Our opponents would be shitting their pants when we name our 23 man squad for an assignment

Thanks for the correction on Mike obiku's club.

Faby,talent yapa but the major issue is Rohr.I don't see him achieving much with this team cos his tactical approach is limited.

Nah, egbon I rate him highly
the only striker I don't want in RE call up is onauchu forget the goals he scored against Lesotho and Benin, on a good day any average striker can score against those teams

Simy, Oshimen and Nacho/Sadiq Umar should be called up for now and Onauchu remain on standby list

Kog45:

Yeah....the coach is incompetent
but I think defensively we need CB than can use their head to score goals from corner kicks, free kicks like Zouma of Chelsea or even Joseph Yobo what's the essence of having tall CBs and Ndidi on the pitch still can convert one corner kick into a goal....

The way we waste this corner kicks hurts me. So I think we need to drop the praise on Ekong and Balogun pairing... with their heights they can't play good offensive roles. I think ekong should be dropped for Akpoguma who can jump to nod the ball into the net

I do understand Egbon however, I do think he is getting better with his tactics!

Ekong is highly overrated and I don't rate him.

Semi Ajayi is the answer to your question scoring with head right but funny enough I still rate Omeruo than Semi.. Akpoguma is not better than Semi when it comes to scoring with head.

I think our CB are average and we just need to deal with that for now but do we need world class CB to prove to the world we are better?No.All we need is a coach to tell those guys that "you can do it"nothing more..can Rohr do it? I don't think so.

Leon Balogun
Troost Ekong
Semi Ajayi
Chiedozie Awaziem
Kenneth Omeruo
Kevin Akpoguma...if Rohr cannot turn these guys around then we should forget it.

Inter Milan fans on Twitter want Simy

Hmmm Onuachu yet to convinced you right... I don't rate him too but the two goals against Benin and Lesotho gave him a lifeline in eagles set up.

Despite being highest Nigeria striker he was on standby list meaning Rohr doesn't rate him much but he has done what we needed most against Benin and Lesotho.

I think for now it is Osimehn,Onuachu and Iheanacho with Simy knocking not forgetting Moffi,Sadiq and probably Maja and Awoniyi.

Humility talent yapa with options like kilode...

People don't know that you can have 3 strikers on the pitch as long as they're all in form and are sharp shooters. Remember Uruguay Golden generation? They had
Suarez. Cavani and Forlan on tbe pitch at the same time and they were efficient and successful. The key is those strikers Work ethic/Understanding and finishing. If our wingers keep being out of form, I won't be against a 3 man strike force

All 3 of them were mobile and versatile. Cavani and Suarez could easily play as wide forwards occasionally.
Simy can't play as a wide forward. Neither can Onuachu.
You need to look at player attributes when having this debate about our striking options.

THANK YOU!

Although, personally I wouldnt advise using 3 strikers at the same time, but its possible for example,


Onuachu....... osimehn.........

Iheanacho......

Simy can replace any one of the 3. Simy and Onuachu are similar strikers so it doesn't make sense having them on the pitch. Wait, there's still Sadiq and Moffi waiting on the bench. Omo like play like play, Rohr don dey get a whole Golden generation of players

Osimhen starts against Sampdoria

Can Iheanacho play the complete role of an AMF or is he just a SS?

BTW Simi should replace Musa on the team, but I still prefer Onuachu over him though. Also Rohr should try Osimhen at that 7 position in a 442 formation.

Actually, I think Iheanacho, Osimhen and Onuachu can be on the pitch at a time with a 442 formation. Osimhen can go to the wing, at 7. Onuachu is strong in the box and would remain at 9, while Iheanacho will be the attacking midfielder. Iwobi and chukwueze, 11 and 8 respectively. Ndidi as the defensive midfielder.

But I do not support them being on the pitch for a whole game.

A 4-2-3-1 maybe with Osimhen on the left, Nacho in the hole and Onuachu upfront.
Not a good idea if the pivot would be Ndidi-Etebo. Lacks creativity and balance.

I will stop taking whoscored ratings serious

How can whoscored give Messi the highest ratings against Madrid yesterday ?

And most times we come here to rate some naija players performance with whoscored

I think say na 1 hour to game line up Dey come out

So no Nigerian has ever scored more than 17 goals in a single season in Europe top league ? It’s shameful and we sabi make mouth say we get world class players

So it’s only yak that has scored 17 goals ? That guy deserves some respect

Simmy will surely get to 20 goals
