Vardy is the striker closest to Osimhen of all the top strikers. Forget Vardy doesn't have the height and the athleticism, he has everything else Osimhen has.

drDoom3:


Aribo has better technique than Iheanacho, Iwobi, and Nwakali. Osimhen's technique is a bit better than Aribo's though, but Osimhen is not as sleek. Iheanacho has excellent shooting and good passing but is poor everywhere else, Iwobi when not confused can pull off the odd skill or pass but is poor everywhere else. Nwakali from the little I've watched in the Segunda is just lazy on the pitch. He doesn't like getting his shirt dirty.

Ejuke is the only player in our team that arguably has the best technique, slightly better than Osimhen and Aribo.

Tackling isn't tougher now than it was in the days of Maradona.

What you guys call "modern football" is as mechanical as table soccer. Remove flair from football and it is no different from cricket and hockey

Subzero047:


Please tell me what is technique

TheGoodJoe:


Why don't you tell us?

Subzero047:


Technique is essentially the basics of football from your first touch to your weight of pass to your angle of passes to your distribution of body weight, it seems some people are confusing skill with technique

drDoom3:


Vardy is the striker closest to Osimhen of all the top strikers. Forget Vardy doesn't have the height and the athleticism, he has everything else Osimhen has.

TheGoodJoe:


That is just one small aspect. I have my own term of technique.

Technique is what you can do with the ball. Is as simple as that. From passing to tricks. Is all technique.

Dribbling skills is technique too.

Subzero047:


Well he doesn't have the aggression that sets him out from Osimhen

Subzero047:


Technique is far from what you can do with the ball, technique is how well you control the ball and how well you can execute basic functions with the ball

drDoom3:


Vardy is the striker closest to Osimhen of all the top strikers. Forget Vardy doesn't have the height and the athleticism, he has everything else Osimhen has.

I don’t understand

Vardy closest to osimhen ? Meaning we can now compare top strikers to osimhen who is not yet there ?

TheGoodJoe:


He is talking about playing style, not equating quality.

TheGoodJoe:


How well is not technique but grade. Some players have poor technique and others have good technique.

So technique is not how well. Technique is ability with the ball.

Some have good trapping techniques. Some have good crossing technique. Some have good dribbling technique.

Some are better with dribbling techniques but are poor when it comes to their passing technique.

Subzero047:


Technique is not ability with ball, where do you put decision making, composure? Technique is simple, how well do you do the basics of football and like every other thing some players have good technique some have average or poor technique

TheGoodJoe:


Decision making is not technique. That is intelligence. They are two different things.

Now with intelligence, you can know the perfect pass to make but if you have poor passing technique, you can not pull off a brilliant decision.

Technique is what you do with the ball. Intelligence is without the ball. What you put together in your head.

Subzero047:


You said technique is what you do with the ball but decision making is not technique, don't you make decisions with the ball though passes, back passes do you make them with your head? If you want to to reduce everything to intelligence then crosses, passes, trappings are all intelligent decisions

Subzero047:


You said technique is what you do with the ball but decision making is not technique, don't you make decisions with the ball though passes, back passes do you make them with your head? If you want to to reduce everything to intelligence then crosses, passes, trappings are all intelligent decisions, the people who defined technique as the most basic of the football element defined it well

drDoom3:


There is a difference between top strikers and top young strikers. Artistes like Rema and Fireboy are some of the best in Africa, but when you talk about the top artistes you talk about Wizkid, Burna, Olamide and co. It does not in any way mean that Rema or Fireboy are "not yet there" in your own words. It is just that they have not been there long enough to be mainstays.

TheGoodJoe:


You make decisions with your head. Not with the ball. You use techniques to carryout decision making.

As I said, it goes with grade.

Technique is what you can do with the ball. Decision making with your head.

A player can be brilliant at dribbling but his intelligence needs development.

He can make unnecessary runs. He can make poor decisions by passing to the wrong player. With the right intelligence, he can become a better player with his technique.

andrewbaba44:


No be this one I ask you at first ,Thegoodjoe has explained to me already

But a young striker can be among top strikers in the world ,he will be categorized at top young striker and top striker alongside with lewa and co

Example Haaland and mbappe are both young and will be regarded as top players together with the older ones despite belonging to the young category

Subzero047:


You make decisions with your head and carry it out on the ball, everything a player does is on the ball technique or not is from the head, now those who define technique define as the most simple of ball tasks regardless of grade I don't know why this is hard for you to understand
