Thanks for listing his cons and lets assume stats those are all true. What about the pros of his game yesterday?
He was a major outlet for the team and almost all attacking buildups came through the left, including the goal. If Chukwueze played to the same level on the other flank what would have become of Egypt?
His work rate meant he was as present in defense as in offense.
Admittedly his final ball, if improved by even 50% would make him unplayable and that's what makes him a frustrating player to watch.
He has in my book always been a starter for this team. I though agree this is not to everyone's taste.

I will highlight the pros of his game.

No one is saying anything about the stupid penalty moses simon almost gave Egypt. I doubt if he would have been this praised if it was given because that was a clear penalty.

Loosing the ball means getting dispossessed. In other words, you claimed he was dispossessed by the Egyptians 19times. At that rate, it means he lost the ball practically everytime he touched it. You went ahead to count shots and crosses as getting dispossessed.
For real, you should have a word with yourself bro.

Loosing the ball means turning over possession, even if only temporarily. Wayward crosses and shots count. For example the cross leading to the goal counted as possession lost because the Egypt defender cleared the ball, even if it eventually landed at Aribo.

Na the mumu Dennis I dey laugh pass sha....all the African players that matter are in AFCON. If you no dey Cameroon now, na you dey do yourself.

He really did himself ooo my sister. He should have insisted on playing in the AFCON. I fear that if Nigeria qualifies for World Cup, he may not be considered. Ranieri will then join him with the Italian team to Qatar as part of their supporters club

Next game, I would say we send most of our starting lineup to the bench to rest them against future games. We should be able to dispatch Sudan without our starting 11. I think a front three of Ejuke-Sadiq-Simon should do the job. Onyeka should play alongside Nwakali or Aribo. Ndidi is indispensable. Backline too should not change, with Ajayi replacing Omeruo if necessary.

Actually, you are wrong. Possession lost refers to the number of times a player turns over possession to the opponent. It doesn't matter if it was a wrong pass, a wrong cross, a failed dribble etc. As long as you turn over possession to your opponent it is counted as possession lost.

And yes, Simon lost possession 19times yesterday as recorded by sofascore(sofascore get their stats directly from opta)

If he stood in the same position alert when the ball rebounded, he would have got to it first. The time he was using to celebrate, he would have used it to finish the job then celebrate.

How can he be in the same position when he ran to head the ball?

Is it possible according to the law of motion in physics?

Ekong missed his timing but his idea was right. I believe Eguavoen will work on that. It all boils down to tactical discipline. Contain the ball and let the high line keep him off. Remember the coach has not had enough time with the boys.

By the way who saw how Sanusi chased Salah to the midfield to tackle him. I could hear Salah from Nigeria exclaim, "I will swear for this Sanusi O!"

Lmao

If a possession lost can turn into assist for us, I think I prefer to see more of it
E.g 1. Moses " cross possession Lost" against Egypt which later turn into our goal
2. Okocha long throw possession lost against Spain which turn into assist for oliseh thunder strike

I disagree. It is just fine to six games remaining. The guys need to master the system and use all opportunity they can. So I say the coach plays his strongest lineup. Don't underrate any team. Secure qualification for the next round first. Then use the next game as a preparation for the next round.

Changes should only come when injuries and fatigue comes to play.

Another Rohr bad effect!

Who else noticed that automatically, we all have become friends, and happily banting peacefully without vulgar since yesterday? Even Chris the son of Oforkansi had to agree with Komekn the WarriBritish wannabe, for the first time in over 2 years. Even Idenna sef dun become better person to his sworn enemies. We never had it this great in Rohr's era. That Franco-German bingo was partly the cause of the division in here with his ekuke playing styles and warped sense of reasoning in making decisions which frustrated everyone

That udogie boy is too good to be ignored

I doubt Udogie would wanna relinquish his place as the captain of the junior Azzuris for a place in the super eagles. He should be left alone. We have Chinedu Ughelumba who can double as a LB and CB.

Yes and No.

If you don't want to remain a permanent prospect then you have to add to your game " Football intelligence" . As a result, you can have all the skills and dribbling in the world . If you cannot make a simple pass at the right time moment/ second.

Then you will remain a promising players and never get to achieve the promise expected of you.

In our game Moses worked extremely hard did a lot of dribbles , pressed high excellently, and was very good. But a lot of his decision making was poor. If you want to go higher. As a result he may not get to a top league or club. The same follows for Ejuke.

Football intelligence will take you further than skills and dribbling.

KC showed that intelligence but the recieving player was not intelligent. Aribo was the same, the header he gave to KC was cushioned and intelligent that is why KC scored.

He Aribo passed another ball diagonal to Simon who just needed to place it extreme right corner of the goal but he decides to take a touch and lost the angle .

These are the things you are taught and drilled almost on a daily basisi in the top football academies in Europe. And you expect Professional players to do and know.

These are the things you should be doing in order to to get to the next level in your football career.


I think Moses wayward crosses has to do with his weak left foot. He might be better crosser with his strong right foot.
