Haha haha this may be bad news to some here who want to see a "Stone man" striker against Cameroon.

....he wont strike for us.... SS or amf....

Mickael2:


we do, we just haven't invited them that's the problem

Oya role out the names and let's see.

So who strikes?

Bros you think that Zambia goal was easy?

A Brown Ideye would have hit the ball straight to the goalie. Take that to the bank.

what was so special about this goal? Start watching from 1:23... His famous bad first touch nearly let him down again but he quickly rallied and got the ball before it went into touch. I cant see what was so extraordinary about a professional football player scoring this.

Daninya11:

Akpeyi may be the culprit here.
In the words of Rohr,he failed to cover himself in glory.

Funny.
So who mounts goal against Cameroon?

Mickael2:


Brown ideye did get a chance which he chipped above the keeper, he didn't hit it straight at the keeper, you are making it sound like he doesn't even have a football brain.

..
All we are all trying to say is dat he still has his skills nd it hasnt been *coached out* buh he is a little rusty is dat area 4 now

First of all, free your mind of bias and watch it again.

Do we have a RWF that is on his level?

No but the gap is closer in that regard.

Osimhen In, No Ifeanyi Matthew, Aaron Samuel, Joel Obi In Eagles List
August 21, 2017027

‎The list been spread around by respected Nigerian journalist Wale Ajayi has been dismissed by Owngoalnigeria.com sources close to the players he claimed have been invited to the team for the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers against Cameroon.

Ajayi sent a mail to Owngoalnigeria.com where he listed Aaron Samuel as one of the players but a source close to the player said he hasn’t been contacted, hence he is not in the squad.

Joel Obi is one name listed by Ajayi, whom we can now confirm isn’t in the list even Ifeanyi Matthew who played for Lillestroem in Norway is also not in the list which is set to be released later today.

However Victor Osimhen of Wolfsburg made the cut as against several reports according to a source close to the player. He confirmed Osimhen has already received his invitation letter.

Thanks bro.

But you see the problem is they expect him to still be doing all the magic he did at U17 level.

I have always said it that too much is expected of him. I believe his career is still on the rise.

He is not there yet.

This is a 20+yrs old boy we are talking about here.
Give him a couple of years and hopefully we'll see a bigger him.

Who is that closer RWF?

I don't do bias, sentiments or tribalism. If I wasn't Igbo most people would have tagged me a tribalist for pointing out the flaws in Ndidi and Kelechi's game. I honestly don't know which state Onazi or Akpeyi comes from but I have defended them here.

Critically analysing that goal, the Zambian defence went on a vacation. They were carved open by Ideye and Kelechi had an easy run at the stranded goalkeeper who has 2 options, which were to either foul a goal bound Kelechi or pray he slips on his way to goal. The only exceptional play I see here was Ideye having the presence of mind to flick that ball to Kelechi's in that crowded area.

Icon4s:


So who strikes?

....lol
shebi rohr said he is in search of a main striker....if dah story is anything to go buy den i think he would choose ighalo to strike

Technique beats physicality. That is why smaller, more technical teams were able to outplay Cameroon in the confederations cup.

Victor Osimhen might actually play against Cameroun? Heavens

Oya role out the names and let's see.

I have Onyekuru, Kayode, Olaitan, Samuel Kalu, Dennis etc etc. we have a lot of firepower on the wings. not to mention that Moses at FB would help us build from the back

Just like the way a technical Arsenal side used to beat the physical Sam Aladyce Bolton team.

thank you so much...a goal voted as CNN goal of week...and some persons here are saying nothing is special about that goal...
even my grand mom.... knows the goal never came cheap...only a lad wit so much composure and skill will control football like that...

One example but i will argue Arsenal struggled many times were mental not physical. It is the same reason they capitulate when the pressure is on.
Other technical and less physical teams like Man Utd whooped Bolton left, right and center. Chile are not anywhere close to the physicality of Cameroon.

mehn kelechi will cry if he mistakenly finds this thread.

Na so.

I don't just know why some people would be so blinded by bias.

I don't have favorite players as most do here but if a player does something right I don't hesitate to say it the way it is. And the other way round too.

The only player I can pick out there is Kayode and that one sef na manage.

We will confine Victor Moses to RB and Onyekuru and Olaitan or Kalu would be playing RWF.

Chairman reason am abeg.

We need Victor Moses in a Forward position. Shehu Abdullahi is not doing badly at RB hate him or like him.

We need Victor Moses' fire power upfront abeg.
All those players you mentioned are learners.

JoebieStats: Did you know that Ikechukwu Uche contributed 4 goals for Gimnastics versus La Liga new boys, Girona during the 2016/2017 season?
He scored 1 goal in their 4-2 away loss late last year, and scored a brace and had an assist in their 3-1 home win on the 28th of May this year.

his strike against Tanzania and the one against Zambia...both won the CNN goal of the week....
you can Google it...
it's like being bias is normal to some of you here.....
you think...a young lad...with no talent and potentials could just ride...from the academy into a team like City first team...
probably you and goldfish know more than those city coaches....
