Are you in Daniel James brain to decide if he can learn or not? Giggs learnt his at the end of his career. So the time is not the idea. Lahm made a major positional shift towards the end of his career.

Excuse me has Leicester sold Iheanacho already?
Even in Cup games he's no where to be found

Subzero047:


What is there in Ejuke's game, maybe you are watching a different player than the rest of us if you can mention a technical attribute he has more than Aribo then I can take you seriously, saying that Osimhen has more technique than Aribo shows you are not serious

Napoleon55:

Just thank u for this write up.

Komekn and his likes are just blinded by stats.

Do any of these end product stats pile generation actually have better end product than those legends of d game u mentioned above

komekn:


Giggs already had the technical astuteness , capacity and ability he just channeled it differently and more strategically with team focus.

You can't teach technicality after a certain age .

Wenger once said once a player is over 13 it's almost impossible to teach personal skill and technical ability.

Unfortunately James has none of that.

Rodgers should have removed Vardy but seniority...

Osimhen Should not be allowed to play at the AFCON

It will spell disaster for us and end his young career. His injuries are still severe and haven't quite healed

He should be patient. There is always another 2 years

I don talk my own ooo

I know some people will come for my head

Subzero047:
What Osimhen went through was a face injury not even a head injury, The guy should have been ready even before now

fabyom:
Oshimen is fit and ready! He got injured on his face not leg! I don't see why he should miss AFCON. I heard the list will be out today or tomorrow GMT+1.

I do not DISAGREE.

When the English FA looked at the over riding number of kick and rush carpenter footballers they were producing.

They decided complete revamp and regeneration of the entire training culture and strategy was essential.

That change started with the football academies.

New personal , etc Liverpool brought in the former assistant manager at Sao Paulo in Brazil to head up the U12 development. Because they had to start young can't teach an old dog new tricks and mentality.

The best academy in my opinion is Chelsea and Arsenal in the UK.

That's why the game has changed in England for English players they needed to compete with overwhelming number of overseas players that totally dominate the EPL.

chrisooblog:
The injury was bad sha something that completely fractured the left side of his face is not beans. That said for him to have declared himself available for the AFCON means the Napoli doctors have given him the all clear. Anyway Eguavoen has said it's Napoli that will give the final green light.

TheGoodJoe:


You don't know if James has anything with respect to that because you have not seen him trained to play that role. Players have been making adjustments since time.

Recently, we watched Zinchenko move from the midfield role to the left back role and excel. He does not play the role in similar fashion to most left backs. He made a tactical adjustment to make it work.

It is tactical adjustment.

TheGoodJoe:


A well coordinated press will nullify any top player. It is far harder today to just skip past players. That is why people feel today skills is dying. The truth is that defending is far better now.

Damioduso1:
According to Amadu Pinnick a New Coach may lead the super eagles to afcon next month that is starting in 17 days time. The coach will be announced next week is a former assistant to Jose Mourinho. I wonder the miracle he will perform for us to win afcon less than 17 days to a tournament like afcon.

Very true English players of today by far have good technique. Playing with quality foreign talent like you said has further sharpened and toughened them up to face the rigors of the game. The influence of Guardiola and Kloop on the English football establishment can't be emphasized enough.

Odunayaw:
Do coaches hold back their players with flair because of tactics? Yes or no.

Defending isn't in any way better in my opinion. You can't defend against flair. Have three gifted people like Messi in a team and the opposition will be putting out fires till the last whistle blast.

Again, coaches mentality have changed that's why skills are in the back bench. Not necessarily defending. Na the same football we de watch na

komekn:


In reality everybody can play any position at any time, that's not the dispute.

The pertinent question is how proficient and effective can he play that position in comparison to the other players in the team. In Manchester United he will not be able to displace anybody in the midfield that's the objective reality.

If you were to take him to a lower club and physically less tasking league he may Indeed find space to play and be effective. But in Manchester United it is s big No NO.

Everything is not just theory you must put things in perspective and realistic with objectivity not just theory .

codemaniacs:


Osimhen does not need to watch Benzema, Lewandowski and Kane to learn shooting techniques..

Osimhen is playing for Napoli, while 2 of the players you mentioned are playing for 2 of the best teams in the world with very good midfielders and chance creators, If Kane was playing for Man City he would score more goals than he does at Tottenham...

same goes for Osimhen, If Osimhen was playing for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Man City he would score more goals than he does at Napoli.... but it also depends on how the coach plays him..

Its the same reason Oshoala scores more for Barcelona than Super Falcons even though she misses opportunities when playing for Nigeria..

Lukaku is also playing for a world class team but his not scoring regularly... does that mean he should also watch Benzema, Lewandowski and Kane to learn shooting techniques

Osimhen has scored more goals than Kane this season so its Kane that should learn from Osimhen.....

TheGoodJoe:


No they don't skip past players with ease. They do it with a degree of difficulty. Watch Bernardo Silva, he relies a lot on releasing the ball early. They can make occassional skips but they do not dwell on the ball. The game today is too fast paced to dwell on the ball.

Subzero047:


Well he doesn't have the aggression that sets him out from Osimhen

Shukusheka:
You are talking as if we were not watching Hazard skip past 3-4 players per dribble recently before injury marred his career.
Some players are just exceptional no matter the era. Whatever era they find themselves, players like Maradona, R9, Messi will eat good.

fabyom:
Oshimen needs to watch players like Benzema, Lewandowski and Kane to learn shooting techniques. For me, Aribo is our most technical player. Shooting, ball control, touches, body movements etc. However, I think he needs to improve on his passing!
