I don't think you can count more than two players better than Anguissa at their position.

Kroos, Modric, Verratti, Pogba, Gundogan

Subzero047:


Kroos, Modric, Verratti, Pogba, Gundogan

Prime Kroos? Yes.

Veratti of old? Yes..

Pls don't add pogba.

daveP:
Big joke

With that Hattrick, Aboubakar is leading charts for both MVP and Golden boot now.

Nacho and Awoniyi, abeg no make easy for Abou pls. Catchup. Spell Sudan pls.

Subzero047:


If you are not shaping to shoot and you are fouled indirect freekick should be given instead of penalties and if a cross is not stopped intentionally, same.

It's still not clear enough. What if it's a key pass or a cross?

The truth is that anything inside the box is a potential goal so that rule can't be defined properly. Don't worry,VAR is teaching them discipline. How many handballs do you see in the box these days in the EPL?

I like and respect Ighalo so I won't drag him, but I'm surprised some people have developed amnesia abi was it not the same Ighalo that played 90 minutes in Kaduna against Egypt 6 years ago?

Shame won't let them boldly declare how Odion did that day, Awoniyi who on full debut forced a save out of the Egyptian goalkeeper and Umar who almost had an assist are carpenters? it is well

safarigirl:


Exactly

No be bully Awoniyi been dey bully the Egyptian defenders too? He did so much in they game, too much for someone to call him a young pretender.

The Aboubakar's first game, no be penalties he score? Did he do anything that Awoniyi did not do in our own first game minus the penalties?

And somebody wants to call Awoniyi pretender here. I no blame am, na so dem yab the boy when he replaced Isaac Success in U-17 too, he will show these people what he is made of in this tournament and shame will not allow them mention Ighalo's name again.

TFLASHOGEE:
comerade watin you really mean by this submission e be like na style style entering

entering to where?

TheSuperNerd:


You seriously asking the diff between Egypt and Algeria? Despite my sharing that graphical analysis by Optaanalyst? Or perhaps you also missed that.
Okay, that's enough. Lol

You really talk too much. Bye.

komekn:


This is a good discussion , let's be as objective as possible and not ASSUMPTIVE.

Who among our strikers is actually better than him in the HERE and NOW.

Please name them one by one and give your rational.

Sir, if there's any case of assumption here, it falls firmly at your table.

Because you're assuming that due to past glory, Igahlo should automatically be the first striker on the team list.

However, if we look at this objectively, statistically, factually like you demand, it is clear that there is an overlapping queue of strikers who based on recent performances are easily ahead of Ighalo.

Ighalo being top scorer in Arabia is no big deal. The Saudi Arabian league is so bad that their all-stars couldn't defeat Palestine and Jordan in successive games this January.

If experience is your criterion for quality, then that is good. Ighalo has all the experience in the world.

But also keep in mind that a we have a fit Onazi who, based on experience, should be in this squad ahead of "pretenders" like Aribo and Onyeka.

daveP:

He didn't score any hattrick

Na trophy we dey find and tournament just dey start.

Like you, i can't wait for them to spell Sudan, unreplied.

zuchyblink:
The truth remains that our weakest wing is the number 9 position

Another truth is that a weak striker like Ighalo can never be a solution

komekn:


On my opinion 100% a big YES

Easy there now. Make we no start tonight abeg.

safarigirl:



What is "young pretenders" about Awoniyi?

Why do you feel the need to disrespect people that are doing a business in order to elevate some others?

If this thing you wrote came from an honest place, you would have left Awoniyi and Sadiq, but because it comes from negativity, you feel the need to throw in names that have no business in this talk.

Ighalo is not in AFCON, he will not be there, so, we honestly don't give a shit what he would have done, because a far better striker in the person of Salah is at this same AFCON and his first game was shit anyway.

Our strikers are decent and will come through, the ones we actually managed to get. Stop insulting them because you want to kiss the ass of an absentee forward

When you are overcome with emotion and sentiment you become fanatical in some respects it makes you the quintessential fan, one without rational.

As a result well thought out objective appraisal with key identified performance indicators analysed , becomes an insult to your emotively overcome mind.

When something is taken out of context and then misrepresented, who do you blame

I made a comparison of two strikers who have been top performers consistently over many years at top level. One is Ighalo and the other is Aboubakar, they both play in the same league. However, Ighalo is the top Goal scorer in that league.

But somehow one Aboubakar is idolised, praised with great respect and appreciation across the nation of Cameroon. However, our Odion is disgracefully denigrated and abused by many you included here.

You have continued in this vexatious bad spirited narrative for too long. Like a woman scorned and filled with bitter resentment. He was the highest goal scorer in the AFCON you still have nothing good to say.

Ighalo is on the team list not just at the tournament and the context of my write up is by comparison entirely relevant.

I would say much more than the irreverent preoccupation you have with how handsome or good looking in your opinion our playerd are. Which is essentially superficial nonsense that has nothing to do with football ability , quality and performance.

This is hypocrisy and double standard feminist bigotry.
If conversely we were discussing the female national team and talked about how beautiful or not beautiful they are , how well endowed they are it not. That would be considered very sexist and distasteful at least.

Subzero047:


They are playing a highline against Toto Ekambi and Aboubakar, the high line was ultimately their downfall but atleast they entertained us

I think that's how they are programmed to play

ChrisKels:


Another truth is that a weak striker like Ighalo can never be a solution

Oh Good Lord...what am I witnessing here? Zuchyblink forming an attacking partnership with Komekn?? because their Ighalo interests align??

Kaaiiiii.... this is comedic. Two very "stubbornly staunch" characters. And I saw this coming at some point. Lol

This partnership will be interesting. Nerdie sit back and enjoy the show...

The big question,would Ighalo have done better than Awoniyi against Egypt?NO

Capital YES, he would had performed more than Two,


if Ighalo can became the highest goal scorer in both the qualifiers and Afcon proper in 2018, under Rohr conservative approach,

then why cant he in Austin offensive one

daveP:


Easy there now. Make we no start tonight abeg.

Abeg make we start, they been don insult Iggy too much here,
so the ones he did so well under a conservative Rohr,
he now can do under an Offensive Austin right?

Issa Kabore with one of the most wicked cross you'll see this year for Burkina Faso's first goal.

AFCON finally representing.

Acecube:
Lol... I don port common from hesgoal teytey.

I use livetv.sx or the mobile version m.livetv.sx na supersport with English commentary Dem take dey show Afcon.

The only person overcome with emotions on this thread is and always has been you

There is not an ounce of objectivity in your arguments, and that is clear with how glaringly inconsistent you are.

You are so inconsistent, you don't even have a definition of "Here and Now", it changes according to who you are arguing for and against.

So, when you decide that you want to be consistent and stick to a definition of "here and now", rather than being emotional, we will take you seriously on this thread

Not too ong ago he was at Manchester United albeit temporarily and was not bad.

Ighalo could get an EPL team today if they could afford his monstrous wages. The issue is not about getting a club.

This was a comparison between Aboubakar and Ighalo who both play in the same league. But the difference is that Ighalo is the highest goal scorer in that league.

Both players chose this league and the league chose them with bags of £££$$$ .

Aboubakar is on his way to being one of the top goal scorer at this tournament and it's arguable he may not necessarily be better than Ighalo.

You should have a lot more respect for Ighalo. If Ighalo was playing in the Bundesliga he would be among the top scorers. And if Ighalo was in Leicester do you think he would have scored only two goals in the EPL so far.

This is a lie

Because Ighalo has played against Egypt and he did not do better.

So, it is a lie

If it is by top scorer, you better wait for the tournament to start proper, because Ighalo did not become top scorer after his first game. Una no go even wait for tournament to start before making ridiculous comparisons and arguments.n

E pain am

And one person shared while 2 liked

By the way who Dey deceive u say u fine?

Charles! Stop am!

You know how you delight in riling people up for no reason with that "bad mouth" (or fingers) of yours.

But I am happy to inform you that you are wrong about her. Because she fine. Trust me, I know.

Beauty is like a spectrum.... some fall in the middle, some a little distant from the middle and some fall at the very extreme (the most beautiful). All are beautiful coz they fall on the "beauty spectrum". This is why we get degrees of beauty naa. So it depends on what degree you dey look at...

See.. Leave Safari alone abeg. I like it better when you pick on Nwakali. Abeg face Nwakali.

Turn your attention to Nwakali... enter am wella. But leave Lana becos you actually haven't seen her to pass judgment.

See him bad mouth. Omo, I wonder how you even take this same mouth dey toast woman sef. No wonder your mouth carry you go meet that one wey you come here dey ask advice for. Onu Abuba, Onu Ojoo

I refer to my long standing proviso for national team selection.

It is better to be the top outstanding player in a low level club and league than an anonymous mouse in s top level club and league.

That is still in the HERE and NOW.

Ighalo is the top the current highest goal scorer in the Saudi Arabia pro Football league. That is in the HERE and NOW.

So now Miss objective quantifiable and measured.

Can you show where there is a contradiction to my position which has remained consistent please.
The definition of HERE and NOW is self explanatory

Your contradictions to here and now that they asked you about Okoye and Uzoho yesterday and you were flailing about like a bird inside boiling water.

Or you think I am talking about Ighalo's here and now?

Your here and now for Ighalo is different from your here and now for Okoye and Uzoho.

Tomorrow, you will have another definition for here and now for a different sort of players.

Inconsistent and emotional.

I can personally reach a conclusion that truly Ighalo has been disrespected here, but Komekn calling the current crop pretenders has turn this thing to UFC face-off. I can't take that either, even as an Ighalo fan.


I dunno maybe its a trend but we also didn't really trust Ighalo replacing Emenike that year.


Only thing i can say is Aboubakar scored the winner in 2017 final against Egypt, bullying their defence. That's something. I dunno how good their Midfield were compared to the one Ighalo played with at that last Afcon, but if its vs Egypt, towel dey floor.

Our current strikers are doing well this season at their clubs. They weren't called pretenders then. Nawa o

You are loosing all sense of rationaity and clutching at delusional straws.

You are using the assumptive projection to contend with the factual. That will not work, you should know that , balance of probabilities, is not fact but speculative.

Fact Ighalo was the AFCON highest goal scorer Awoniyi, Sadiq, Onyekuru, even KC and Osimhen may or may not ever become one.
