You would have preferred they sit on the bench instead of playing at their developmental stages? How did that turn out for Nwakali and Awoniyi?

TheGoodJoe:


Why not tell us about Iheanacho how moving to a competitive Manchester City boosted his profile. Keep in mind, Nwakali and Awoniyi did not stay and train at the various clubs. If they did, they would have exploded.

The point is training and growing in a big club. Not getting bought by a big club and shipped on loan due to lack of work permit.

Stormtrooper11:
Osimhen already seeing Tuesday's results

komekn:


Actually Awoniyi trained day in and day out at Liverpool , I saw him and talked with him. Technically speaking he was not outstanding and not rated highly .

Nwakali trained with Arsenal youth teams but once again wasn't outstanding.

Omeruah was relegated to training with U18 at Chelsea at one stage .

I wish I could take you round the English football elite academies. And you will be very surprised by at the level of the technical coaching that is put into 9/10 year olds . The days of kick and rush are completely over. Look at the level of technicality of young English players now is very different.

I think a lot of our boys are technically deficient on arrival at elite academies and have a lot of catching up to do. As a consequence are at a distinct disadvantage.

Soaking up d knowledge and tactical drills in thegoodjoe voice

Subzero047:


Ejuke dribbled severally what are you talking about

jihday:
we can’t keep changing goalkeeper, how many teams do you see change keepers at will

seankafor:
that guy footwork reminds me of Ronaldinho..

Hw must attempt one flick or another once he touches the ball..lol

This kind of players are good to bring in when we re winning by 2 goals min margin..

Can't imagine when we re loosing and you re attempting those flicks..

Na swear fans go use finish you

mostob:
There is nothing wrong in changing a goalkeeper if he is not performing as expected. Leno is as good as Ramsdale but he still got benched by the championship goalkeeper. Uzoho was already warming up with and developing with the team before his injury. It was only expected that he regains his spot on his return since Okoye was not convincing. But Rohr knows best.

mostob:
Yann sommer was one of the top performer for Switzerland during Euro. .

Arsenal's defence couldn't contain leceister's forwards but Ramsdale was there to save them.


Can we count on Okoye to save the team at crucial times?

If na Ezenwa dey perform like Okoye, some people would be insulting him by now.
As jittery as Akpeyi is, I'm more comfortable with him than this Okoye.

TheLoneCitizen:


Being in the Eredivisie team of the year as a GK is no cakewalk. The Eredivisie is the highest scoring league in world football.

Form is temporary.

andrewbaba44:


Normally Leno is better than ramsdale ,but as e looseguard dem bench am for ramsdale

mostob:
Gbam!

orriyomi33:
Zambia's Sakala scored a hattrick in their 4-0 win, Daka also scored.
When was the last time a Nigerian scored an hattrick in a qualifier or tournament?

andrewbaba44:


And ramsdale is now there to stay with his good performance

mostob:
You're right bro. I'm sure you'll also agree with me that NT is different from club footy. Moses Simon was bagging assists for his club steadily but he has been playing poorly for naija. Onuachu is a goal machine for his club but his form in GWG is not really that good when compared to his club form.

andrewbaba44:


Normally Leno is better than ramsdale ,but as e looseguard dem bench am for ramsdale

Ppogbae:


Remember when some moniker considered Iheanacho as a world class player

TheLoneCitizen:


It's good to see at least one person who still believes Leno is better than Ramsdale.

mostob:
Be like that guy dey sniff something sef . . .he took a goal kick during that leceister match and he threw a fist immediately after the ball left his leg.
His confidence, distribution, commands and Agbero charisma are part of what made him bench Leno.

andrewbaba44:


Am I wrong ?

I rate ramsdale , but Na Leno cause everything

Kog45:
Oga Subzero, I no get your message o cos we are still having young players going out to places like Moldova,Malta,Bulgaria....hope you remember that Taye Taiwo moved from Lobi star to Olympic Merseilles,Celestine Babayaro from Plateau utd to Anderlecht,James Obiorah from Enyimba to Anderlecht,Finidi George from Calabar Rover to Ajax,Kanu from Iwuayanwu Nationale to Ajax,Taribo West to Auxerre abi na Pinnick be NFF boss at this periods.

TheLoneCitizen:


Good. I'm also sure you realise that invitation is based on performance in club football. For a GK, game time is extremely important, and Okoye has enjoyed almost 10 times more minutes than Uzoho in a lower league.

Before Okoye came around, I remember almost everyone on this thread complaining of Uzoho's butter fingers.

And talking about national to club level transition: Simon had an efficient game against Liberia, he was disciplined at wingback.

Onuachu has given us goals whenever he is called, so why compare his 33 goals at club level to country.

Ndidi has also been off the boil for Nigeria.

orriyomi33:
He was already celebrating his cleansheet before the end of that match.

nelszx:

Osimhen would have scored a hatrick yesterday if not more. Rather than placing he goes for power (shoot). He should learn to place the ball more than he shoots.

Too much power to hit the ball definitely sends the ball to the skies.

mostob:
You've got great facts. Now, let me ask. .despite his club form and game time, how has he not give us any good performance? I expect him to be better and more convincing by now. I have nothing against him but dude needs to step up. Uzoho was great for us during the last world cup despite his age and lack of exposure.

As for moses and Onuachu, I still insist both have not really showed their club form in GWG
