Mujtahida:

Osimhen yes, Ighalo no. He's had his time. It gets to the point where you have to rest it or be rested as a player for the NT. Ighalo has gotten to that point. He's not better than any of our present forwards including Sadiq.
Rohr invited him out of retirement for the Cape Verde match and he was atrocious. I did not see you going on at him for his awful display that as you have been carrying on about Sadiq.

Please tell him.

Sadiq performed better in 20 mins against Egypt than Ighalo did in an almost full game against Cape Verde. Sadiq pressed four defenders alone and was on hand to tap in the two Ejuke attacks. Ighalo looked totally unfit in that Cape Verde game. He looked like an ex-footballer that was invited for a charity game.

Aboubakar who is in track to be highest AFCON goals scorer according to your sense of reasoning has had his time Abe

A player who is arguably not better than Ighalo.

Sadiq was so slow and languid the Egyptian defender were playing piggy in the middle with him.

Stop taking balderdash

komekn:


If Ighalo was playing in Seria A he would be scoring goals if he was in the moi moi Segunda he would be the top goal scorer.

To compare Sadiq with Ighalo is abuse and lack of respect.

Respect doesn't win you games.

With all the respect Kanu and Okocha command in Nigeria, you should probably call them back to come lead our attack in the world cup.

Please someone should screenshot all these comments so that in one or two years time when Sadiq is top of La Liga scoring charts, he won't be able to pull of his legendary "here and now" line like he did for Osimhen.

komekn:

Slow and languid pressing a whole backline by yourself abi?

Why do you think Eguavoen brought on Nwakali to assist him with the press?

Shebi Awoniyi won't play 90 mins every game? Sadiq will get his gametime and when he does score, please don't bs this thread with your here and now phrase.

Aboubakar is better than Ighalo.

The only qualities Ighalo could be considered better are finishing and positioning. Abou is faster, stronger, younger, you can keep going on. Aboubakar is a power forward who hold his own in any top league. The only reason he is in Saudi is money and when he wants to come back, he will get offers.

But back to matter's of present.

We need our best players to be on top of their game.

Simon M. Awoniyi. Onyekuru

KC - Aribo

Ndidi

Zaidu Ajayi Ekong. Aina


Maduka Okoye


Subs Onyeka, Iwobi, Olayinka, Ebuehi, Musa and Ejuke. Barring injury. Like to see Aina play LB after Zaidu is subbed and Ebuehi comes on.

Sudan know they are playing Nigeria they will play for there lives. They will be absolutely be aware of the task before them, it's for hard working disciplined players who follow the team strategy and plan.

I expect a 3-1 win Awoniyi to score two goals.

TheLoneCitizen:
Since they began playing football, Sudan have won 100% of their games in major competitions when they score first.

Nigeria on the other hand have lost their last 9 games in all major competitions when they have conceded first.

A contest made in heaven.

We came from behind to win Cape Verde. Nine games haven't passed since then.

Danielnino00:
After several weeks of deliberations, we have finally reached the end of the Fourth edition of the Nairaland Nigerian Football Fans award. Thanks to all those who took their time to particular in the process..

Full list of winners here:

Semid4lyfe, do your thing...

This year we should try to get members of Nairaland involved, maybe by organizing a football competition of just 2teams. It’s going to be massive and people will be much interested.
We start from Lagos probably expand to other regions as time goes on.
#my 2 cents. ��

Aboubakar is better than Ighalo.

The only qualities Ighalo could be considered remotely better are finishing and positioning. Abou is faster, stronger, younger, you can keep going on. Aboubakar is a power forward who hold his own in any top league. The only reason he is in Saudi is money and when he wants to come back, he will get offers.

From one match he has become better than Ighalo.

If If Nigeria vs Libya were to be replayed before your eyes now, you will shift belle to say Ighalo is better than him

Nobody don see line up yet?

komekn:


If Ighalo was playing in Seria A he would be scoring goals if he was in the moi moi Segunda he would be the top goal scorer.

To compare Sadiq with Ighalo is abuse and lack of respect.

Ighalo in segunda 21 apps 4 goals
Sadiq in segunda 57 apps 28 goals
Ighalo in serie a 8 apps 1 goal
Sadiq in serie a 6 apps 2 goals.

Ighalo is the same if he wants to come to the EPL he will get several club's. He is also in the same league as Aboubakar just scored more goals than him.

We are Africans he may or may not be younger, Aboubakar has not played in the best league in the world but Ighalo has the EPL. Manchester United did not see him before they invited Ighalo Abe.

Your deduction is based on emotive preference and dislike. The facts are before you, but you choose to imagine things birthed from a prejudiced mind.

A Qualifier is not a major competition, brother. It is not even a tournament at all.

How pep could not beat tuchel at the champions league finals is what I still can’t understand

Epl is the new farmers league ,no competition,just mancity and the rest

Same line up as the last , according to owngoal

Transfer update: Innocent Bonke to Lorient of France.

Fab thinks he is a striker though.

komekn:


Let me quote you verbatim.


He will cry for those who are absent and condemn those who are present. Real duplicity

Awoniyi is not among the present abe

But....but....Komekn, you condemned Awoniyi like two days ago.

Mujtahida is not wrong . You condemned Awoniyi to elevate Ighalo just two days ago, you called Awoniyi a pretender. You are only elevating Awoniyi higher than another present player, Sadiq. You have not elevated him over the absentees.

No come here dey try claim offense over that statement. It is very correct

How many years ago was that game?

I am talking about the HERE AND NOW. In the HERE AND NOW undoubtedly Ighalo is nowhere near Aboubakar's level. except you are using emotive bias and prejudice in your decision-making.

Do you watch Ighalo in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. He's doing well but nothing particularly spectacular the way you guys make it seem.

Do you watch Sadiq in Segunda?

The thing with rohr is that he can get good layers but he does not know how to use them

elyte89:
A quick question what if eguavoen does well in dis tournament with good football display by d team...wetin pinick go do concerning peseiro and d current coach

“Does well” means he lifts the Trophy.
With that, if Picnick try any nonsense we go see “end picnick 2.0” reloaded.
