Team Red has Yobo.

What?

safarigirl:



Dem dey make assumptions based on Big name players. Some people said Morocco was sure for the semis last AFCON, na "I like to move it, move it" people still bundle those ones comot.


AFCON is literally anybody's game. Your team may be filled with brilliant players, but the lines may not fall in place the day you need them to.

See CIV with Haller, Zaha, Aurier, Pepe and co, you would think semi finals sure for them, only for you to hear that Zimbabwe or Guinea kicked them out.

komekn:


Every football game has an element of luck and fortitude. The team that prepares properly creates team cohesion and through working as a team can beat better teams with sheer hard work and determination.

Nonetheless, cream always rises to the top.

Last AFCON Algeria and Senegal were the best teams and Senegal was unlucky.

If anything we were lucky to get as far as we did.

On paper we are underdogs, there are at least 5 teams better than us on paper. Teams that win usually have a world class top player, that gives them an edge.

humility33:


Yea to balance team numbers

Coaches like Zidanne do train with the team so no big deal

humility33:


U know from the name you listed

Only Oshimen is proven goal striker for the super eagles as at now only Onauchu come close

The rest are goal scorers for their club sides we haven't seen what they can offer the super eagles..if more or less.

I just watched the trio of awoniyi, umar and iheanacho and to me, iheanacho seem more impressive and should be our starting striker in the absence of osimehn. Eguavoen must instill extreme discipline and seriousness into iheanacho or else, he can lose attention. My ranking of the 3
1) Iheanacho
2) Umar
3) awoniyi

Also, we can field 2 strikers and 1 winger while also selecting 3 midfielders in order not to imbalance the midfield

Iheanacho is the best clinical finisher in our squad and you want him at the opposing goal as much as possible. He is also fast, creative and intelligent. He has a better attribute of becoming a forward than a midfielder.. also, there are different type of forwards and nacho will fit in the form of a ‘firmiho’. How can someone even watch nacho and suggest that he should be played as a midfielder? Someone with bad first touch, energy and a dictator… stop that talk abeg.. iheanacho can definitely play as a forward

kingphilip:

The so-called 5 teams better than us with atleast a world class player, were they without the world class player to take them beyond the group stage in 2018 world cup? Or three of the teams were without the world class player to take them past Nigeria to clinch the third place in AFCON 2019?

Odunayaw:
Does Yobo look fit to you?

safarigirl:


We haven't seen, because they haven't gotten the opportunity

It is the same way Osimhen was chopping bench in the last AFCON and we hadn't seen what he could do for the Super Eagles, but when he got the opportunity, he used it.

You cannot expect anything from people that never got an opportunity

forgiveness:


He claimed “we are going to AFCON without our 2 forwards on current form” and he listed Dennis and Osimhen as those two forwards which is not true.

nelszx:

He may be a good finisher but man isn't a striker. Same way Sterling, Mahrez, KDB scores doesn't mean they are strikers.

His best position is an 8 not a 9

nelszx:

But Iheanacho is not a striker. Eguavoen himself said Iheanacho is positionally confused. He functions better as a SS not a striker.
Currently we have only 2 strikers, Umar and Awoniyi.

Odunayaw:

andrewbaba44:


Iheanacho is a striker and he played there for man city and has played there for Leicester City

The sterling and co you called aren’t recognized we strikers but iheanacho is recognized as one in the epl

Iheanacho has played as a CF about 20 times this season but you still think he is not a striker ,I still don’t get most of you guys

kingphilip:

Someone mentioned earlier that it might be so because he was given the opportunity.

So let's see what comes out of the opportunity to be given to others in this tournament.

andrewbaba44:

World class players wey Dey do like ekuke for World Cup

humility33:


You know nothing about the potentials of super eagle players and instead of you to stay mute you boldly display your ignorance

I so well understand you never rate Umar, Desser been called up to replace Ighalo, Nacho and even Taiwo u rate him Small

U need to sit down and take a chill pill

You see even though i openly question Nwakali inclusion... I know the potentials of that dude just that I am not happy with the way he has been unserious with his career

humility33:


Nacho can play as a Cf very well

He is more clinical than the strikers in camp, he is good with positioning
His problem is that he gives away ball easily and poor touches sometimes

Playing him as a CF is not out of place

forgiveness:


Osimhen 9 goals are 3 assists
Dennis 8 goals and 5 assists
Awoniyi 14 goals and 3 assists
Dessers 10 goals and 3 assists
Onuachu 14 goals


Can you please explain?

TheGoodJoe:


Believe Yobo is still fit. Teaching the young men how it is done old school way.

humility33:


Yeah sure
The last pic of him I saw he still maintains his shape and more over he quit football not long ago

As a coach he lead the players on drills and joggings that helps to shape him

andrewbaba44:


Yobo is fit

Kog45:
Sir,go to goal project field in Abuja and see ex internationals displaying even Sunday Sunday old players....Yobo just need to come in to balance the team.As from today there would be no need for that cos it will be full house.
