Chidera Ejuke brings more passing skills to his game than some of the midfielders that we parade (midfielders like Frank Onyeka, Joe Aribo) and all our wingers. I know this revelation will not go down and well with some of you, but it is the truth. He also does more defensively than all of our wingers, from tracking back, to man marking to tackling, to making clearances of the ball etc. All these qualities of him are because he is a midfielder that is used as a winger.

Osimhen cooked that guy, people seem to think he overreacted but for me, I think he has every right to reply the way he did.


He literally rejected Al Hilal last summer.

If 4-4-2 continues to be Peseiro's preferred formation, then it is very clear that he selected a team that is not balanced at all. Wingers in 4-4-2 are supposed to be integral in phases of play build up. The invited wingers don't excel at those, as they are pure forwards, who are wired to be finishers. Wingers in 4-4-2 are more involved defensively. The invited wingers do not have the tactical understanding nor even the technique to carry out the defensive roles required of them, because those kind of roles are not natural with them. We have good players but in the wrong setup and combination.

we play on Sunday. Even at that, the fact that it was a late call up meant we disrupted their team plans so it's only fair they hold him till Saturday. If only we had some home based in the preliminary squad, we wouldn't have been in worry at all. PJ's reluctance to include new players into the team would be his downfall. It may seem like praying bad for us but I don't want pj to win this nations cup for us. The way afcon is, you don't necessarily need to be the best to win it. A really crazy streak of luck is enough to win it. Pj winning it would mean he continues and it would only mean we would continue to go backward.
Lol, if winning the afcon will make us go backward then is better to go back. If my memory serve me right it's been more than fifteen years Cameroon or Egypt top Africa caf ranked team but there are the most successful team.

Brace up gentlemen and Ladies. If what I am hearing is correct. Uzoho is ur Goalkeeper. He is the top dog. Nwabali was used against Guinea. The verdict is that he has not displaced Uzoho and Ojo is not a competitor

Ejuke is needed in this team at least to create competition. Majority of our wingers are have been disappointing. They're not doing their jobs at all.

You think this response is warranted? I’m just tired of our players antics. They need serious training on professionalism, antics, seriousness etc right now they’re surviving on hard work, talent and God.

100% with you on the bolded. 3-5-2 would be the best as it helps stabilize our MF and gives cover to our back line. Our strengths are in attack and the wing back areas. This formation would maximze our strengths while mitigating our weaknesses, but this JP guy na better fool.

Even that 4-4-2 can still work if the right personnel are used. Like I suggested some days ago, Iwobi should be deployed to the flank in the 4-4-2.. Iwobi loves dropping into midfield and as such, he would provide extra body in the midfield..

Your observation is very spot on my brother. Most of our wingers except simon are not useful when the team is defending.

I remember watching him at Uyo as early as 2019, he was still new to the team but man was charging up every one in the team.

Even ball boy sef collect am as e dey delay to bring ball come.

Man is super passionate, sometimes it can be overbearing but most times, it's exactly what is needed.

I don taya for all of una mumu mindset. A wise man wouldn’t had responded to a nobody and given him the clout that he wanted. My advise to SE players is to just observe Ronaldo and Messi and try to emulate them

I personally like Ejuke due to his entertaining football but what you typed here are mere campaign.

1. What do you mean by passing skills? What are the end products of his passes?

2. I don't think Ejuke is as defensively sound as Moses Simon.

I think you should practise what you preach too. There is nobody that doesn't know you for your insultive and abusive behavior on this thread. I lost count of the number of monikers you have opened because you are repeatedly getting banned. 13large, 12large1, 12large3, 12large2....and so on.

So you're not in position to advise Osimhen. Remove the log of wood in your eyes first. Small disagreement o, you don run go call somebody mumu. SMH

person wey dey use mouth drive no dey get accident. He is not messi and Ronaldo is even more petty when it comes to answering critics online. People spewing fake news against him should be met with condemnation not silence. Even messi called Jamie carragher a donkey in his dm on Instagram.

Can Pes use 4123 ever? This seems to be the setup of the top teams going into this Afcon. Then ball playing GK as well.

Who has the best 1st touch in this current squad like this?

Who has the best shot accuracy among our midfielders and Fullbacks?

What's our setpieces tactics?

Who will be the new Victor Moses?
