I never said he was an AM! Etebo is a SS or operated from the left midfield. That's the role that earned him rave reviews.

jihday:
our center back is very weak, we need to test akpors there if he’ll be an upgrade on these bunch of carpenters we parade

andrew444:


If onyekuru was playing games every week with poor performance I would have agree with you

typicalgamer:


I said I agree with you, just threw that little shade in there lol

typicalgamer:


I agree 100% that these things happen.

But they coach see them in training 3 times a day, if he has that spark he would have gotten his chance.

TheLoneCitizen:


Yes he has fine passing, good ball control, lightning speed.

He has improved significantly from last season, his decision making is better (must still improve) and he now shoots more.

But Onyekuru packs more in his arsenal than any Nigerian winger, so unfortunately he has to play backup.

typicalgamer:


I clearly stated my issue is about Henry, I’m not measuring Henry and Moses cxck

Meliforme:


The coach was under a lot of pressure and wanted fast results.
The coach preferred 4-4-2, because that is the formation he knows best.
Onyekuru needed to be played further up the pitch.

Onyekuru even has an assist to his name with the few moments he got.

jihday:
unfortunately I think you’ll have to manage Ekong, he’s our highest rated defender

typicalgamer:


This has brought a totally different perspective to the table. Now I won’t blame him anymore

chrisooblog:
both

jihday:
for the SE, I think so

Meliforme:


You are of high quality when it comes to making good observations.

typicalgamer:


He can’t move with the ball for Christ sake.


And folks here say he got skill set of ss /am

jihday:
he scored plenty goals for Warri wolves

Meliforme:


I think Akpoguma is.

TheLoneCitizen:


We are learning from the best, sir. You.

Dont mind them...I never rate him typical of Npfl players no football sense

TheLoneCitizen:



Bro, I think you used the word 'efficiency' very loosely here, Victor Moses and that word aren't synonymous at club level or in the national team.

In the history of Nigerian football, only Osimhen and Onuachu have better goal contribution per game than Henry Onyekuru (in competitive matches) in the national team.

Since you mentioned assists, Moses has 7 assists for Nigeria in 6 years, while Osimhen in just 7 competitive appearances has 6A.

Let's not touch club level, as in truth, Onyekuru is not yet tested at the highest level.

jihday:
how osimhen take enter this discussion? Is he a winger?

TheLoneCitizen:


Since football began, no winger in Nigerian history is more efficient than Onyekuru for the Super Eagles. He guarantees over 1 goal contribution per game when wearing green.

Victor Moses doesn't come close.

OwnGoal has quoted Rohr saying "no new players for
qualifiers"

Even though OG has a shaky record, they do get it right
at times, and this is a quote that has constantly been
attributed to Rohr, so I am inclined to believe it.
I am getting sick and tired of Rohr using this stupid "no
new players" excuse every time we play a competitive
match. Citing the whole "we cannot try new players in a
competitive match" This to me just seems like lazy
scouting, and a complete lack of forward thinking. This
also shows to me that Rohr does not see any problems
with our team and is not trying to improve the team,
especially in problem areas.
The idea that you cannot call up new players, (nobody
said wholesale changes) to replace ones who are
clearly dead woods, or not really offering much, simply
because you are playing a competitive match is
ridiculous and just a lazy excuse.
Is Rohr to tell me that were Messi suddenly ready to
wear SE shirt, Rohr would ignore him, because he has
not played before. That is a crappy coach who does
not know how to adapt to situations. Any coach worth
his salt will be able to put a new player into a system
if he can bring more to that system than the previous
players. To top it off nobody said that the "new" player
has to start, but they could easily make an impact off
the bench.
We just witnessed a US team, THAT HAS NEVER
BEFORE PLAYED TOGETHER, win the Gold Cup,
beating out a Mexican team that has played together
since the previous World Cup. So this idea that "new
players" is somehow detrimental, is complete hogwash
and the utterances of a lazy and conservative coach
who has absolutely no imagination at all.
It is clear that SE needs to be improved in certain
areas, and the fact that Rohr continues to ignore this
and keep things "as they are" is not a good sign for SE
if you ask me.
It also is not as if Rohr uses friendlies to address these
issues. He never likes to try new players, unless injuries
or withdrawls forces his hand, so frankly I dont know
when his time to experiment would be.
We still have not solved these problem areas.
1. Who is Osimehn's backup ? Should Osimehn be
unavailable SE will struggle to score. Onuachu is not
Osimehn's backup. He CANNOT start matches and
have SE play our usual style. If Rohr has not figured
this out, he is a completely useless coach.
2. Who is Ndidi's backup ? I hope Rohr is not telling
me that he is happy to have Shehu Abdullahi step in
for Ndidi.
3. Who are our top wingers in Chukwueze's absense ?
Rohr still does not know. He is still wasting time
calling up junks like Musa and Iwuala, who have
NOTHING to offer SE. How can calling up "new" players
be any worse than parading these junks. They cannot.
I have sounded the warning before and I am doing it
again, but I will tell you all that a disaster will befall SE
so long as Rohr continues this lazy approach to
coaching.
We are a few injuries or suspensions away from having
a really tough time in World Cup Qualifying and also at
the AFCON.
and speaking of AFCON, Is Rohr trying to say that there
will be no new players at AFCON, since I dont believe
there will be any more occasions to try out new
players.
We still have not looked at

AlHassan Yusuf

Kelechi Nwakali

Obinna Nwobodo

Sadiq Umar

Ovie Ejaria

Ademola Lookman

Paul Mukairu

Taiwo Awoniyi

How can any sane coach who regularly parades junks
like Shehu Abdullahi, Ahmed Musa, Anayo Iwuala, and
a Basketball player who cannot keep up with the pace
of the game be happy and have no wish to look at the
above players. It is pure idiocy to be honest.

Bro I no understand oh.. Onyekuru is the most efficient winger in Nigeria football history?

jihday:
let him have over 20caps before you start talking him up like this
