Yes, he will help keep the ball high up in the opposition's half because he is very tidy with short passes.
No one in the team bests him in the game of accurate short passes.
His movements are very good.
He is a fine dribbler, and can score goals.

However, He is not that creative, this limits him in the attacking midfield role and his poor showings in contributions to defense throws him further down the pecking order in our midfield setup.
You will only notice Bashiru when we have the ball, but without the ball he just strolls.

In my opinion, his uniquenesses does not gift us any advantage, he lacks in the very things we need the most.
We need midfielders who can put in decent defensive shifts.

We need very creative midfielders

We need midfielders with a sound reading of the game

Hamzat Ojediran and Christanthus Uche are the midfielders we should be discussing about.

Alex lwobi and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru are more like forwards to me.

We need genuine midfielders.
Bros abeg rewatch the match and stop all this your analysis wey get k-leg.

That same Rwandan Keeper was saved by the crossbar and also the ref's silly decision to cancel a good goal by lookman. So no... the ref was the difference followed by the Rwandan goalie. Nigeria walks away with at least a 2-0 win if that ref wasn't diabolical.

The boys played well can't honestly fault them. Only thing I will be nitpicky about was the free header we allowed them in the first few minutes other than that were it another day could have been a dominant 2-0/3-0 result.

Can't also blame the players too much for not converting their chances the Rwandan keeper was solid and in form.

The ref denied us a probable win with his dodgy officiating. The tackle on Boniface before halftime in the box should have been a pen.

All told good international window. Top of our group, 4 points, and clean sheet.

AE should continue for now then the NFF revaluate after AFCON qualifiers.


My own fault is the players not protesting the decision of the referee. He could have changed his mind if they protested. If he refused to and give yellow card, the card can be appealed after the match.

I pointed out his inability to create play the day we played Rwanda. Anyone can play one touch football ,all you need is communication. But Dele Bashiru is not that creative player we have been yearning for.

I haven't seen the Ojediran and Uche play. Until then, we don't have a reliable creative midfielder

What Mikel said about Eguavoen



I know the interim manager now, Augustine Eguavoen who managed me when I was a kid. U17, he was my coach, took us to the World Cup.

"Fantastic guy, lovely guy, a manager who gives you all the freedom in the world to express yourself, speaks to you really well.

"He reminds me so much of Carlo Ancelotti, no jokes about that, his man management is top. He speaks to players really well. He is so humble. He communicates with players really well, puts his arm around you.

"He gets his players on his side, that's so important. You could see coming in short notice and getting the team to play so well. You can't teach them so much is such a short space of time.

"It's about the communication, it's about the man management of making the players so relaxed so they can perform and that's what I saw when I watched the game because the team performed really well, the first game, and also the second game. Of course we didn't win it but there was so much positivity.

"The team played really well yesterday and I thought we could have won the game."

I actually disagree with your view on Fisayo here. One place he shone for me yesterday was how he covered defensive gaps. He might not go haywire in pursuing opposition players with the ball but if you watch his movement, he always goes to block dangerous areas. This makes him important in defense.

Tell me which central attacking midfielder you know in any top club that plays the way you are yearning for?

Creative midfield is no more a one man show but a team work business.

Besides Amodu I can't remember anyone else
Amodu was employed in 2001 and was relieved in 2002 meaning he oversaw the team’s qualification to world cup and Afcon from beginning to the end
also the 2010 WCQ and AfconQ he started and ended both campaigns…not as if he was drafted to lead the team and perfom magic for two remaining matches just like how they use to do eguavoen
in 2006 WCQ and 2022 WCQ
