gorilla, your name says it all

As far as I am concerned, this is just a rant and attack.

Football has passed the stage of players in a better league. Strategy and tactics are crucial to starting a lineup.

As for the energy you are talking about, a simple positional understanding can sort a lot. If he relies on his strengths. That is, using his passing skills to unlock defenses, he would not need to run too much to defend effectively.

Saying Nwakali was average is you not being honest. He was well above average against Guinea Bissau. Learn to analyse without interests or sentiments. Advice.

when I tell you guys that the hate for kids born in the diaspora is real here una go say I be as****licker

We are suppose to be happy that a great addition as lookman is in our disposal now but to few here they are just pained to see another British born player in the mix

The only 2 wingers based on current form that I won’t drop for lookman in the current eagles set up is Simon and Dennis, others lookman is better than them based on current form

It's not a rant and it's never an attack.

A key aspect of football that’s under-rated is the midfield role..

A strong midfield game is what saw Pep take the world by storm with his trademark tiki-taka football. It is this same approach he brought to City...

Can Nwakali hold his own against the Ghanaians? He played in a dead rubber game against Guinea Bissau and he's now the next pirlo? Evryone knows even Onyedika is better than Nwakali...

Yet Eguavoen however thinks Nwakali is better than all of them….that’s why Ghana will eat us for breakfast if he gets to start him.

TheGoodJoe:


No one said Next Pirlo. That is coming from your animosity towards Kelechi Nwakali. I have told you to stop thinking better. That is one thing I like about football. It teaches you about life.

People have their strengths and weakness. Kelechi Nwakali's strength is that he knows the passing game. He has the natural instinct for it and was lucky to have trained with Amunike as the pivot of his team for over four years.

Eguavoen does not think Nwakali is better than Onyeka or Aribo. Hardly will you find a coach thinking like that. He will work with a strategic plan and pick players that will fit into the tactics.

As for starting against Ghana, let the coaching crew draft an effective strategy and select the best for each role. If Nwakali best fits, so be it. If not, those who suit should play.

A Grandmaster of the deep-lying playmaker role doing his thing. You can learn a lot about the role from this young genius.

Mr joe, talking about tactics, 4-4-2 leaves us short in midfield.. Until we get hammered 3 or 4 goals by a team at world cup...

Think about this. If common Sudan was dominating our midfield at times. What will better teams do ?

We need to go back to 4-3-3 as our primary formation.

Aribo as AM (which we still are yet to see)

With 2 of Ndidi or Onyeka behind him.

If we need even more creativity we can bring in Iwobi and move Aribo back to CM..

TheGoodJoe:


From my belief, Huesca's problem with Nwakali has to do with contract issues. I suspect his management believes he deserves more money.

Joezinho:


I dare Eguavoen to start Nwakali against Ghana and see what happens. Anyone who understands football would have noticed Nwakali's game. Nobody is saying he is not skilful. It's the work off the ball and the overall energy that is missing from his game. Let Eguavoen start him against Ghana, so we can all just close this matter once and for all.

It's funny Eguavoen is starting Nwakali ahead of Onyeka.

Onyeka so bad yet he is playing in the epl week in week out.

Nwakali is so good, he is guarding his skills on the bench of a second tier mid table team in Spain..

Nwakali is average….in fact he is worse than average….

He played two games and was average at best….(that’s me being kind)..

You prefer an inexperienced player at a backwater league to someone that has proved himself at the biggest stage in the world? You’re a dunce. Let amoo go can prove himself at a bigger league before he can think of benching chukwueze. If chukwueze was playing in Swedish or danish league, how many goals would he be scoring in a season

Picking Amoo over Chuckwueze must be a joke.......unless Eguavoen gave Amoo the same opportunity he gave Nwakili and he grabbed it.

Danielnino00:


You're being petty again as usual...The same attitude you displayed when people were voicing concern over Okoye before the AFCON... After his famous blunder, you lost your voice...
It's only in your head that people hate foreign borns...

Based on current form, Lookman isn't better than Chukwueze... Chuks has scored in the laliga,champions league and Copa de Rey this season.. 6 goals and one assist in total compared to Lookman's 5 goals and 1 assists despite playing fewer games...

Let's see Lookman in action in the GWG first before we conclude that he is better than our current wingers..... Okoye is playing in a top league but is delivering a disasterclass every matchday for the super eagles

codemaniacs:


Chuks was poor in the AFCON and must be benched.. Chuks must know that he's replaceable..

It's thinking like yours that made Eguavoen not to put Ejuke on the list against Tunisia..

442 isn't the issue o, it's style and discipline that makes its not to suit us now.

Uruguay has done more than we can dream of at the WC with that formation

Kog45:
What thinking...my man Ejuke was poor....before Afcon I always seen Ejuke and Chuckwueze as our game changer but the duo flopped.

Meliforme:


Chukwueze's performances in SE started a downhill course when Rohr switched to 4-4-2.

codemaniacs:


Ejuke wasn't poor..

Chuks was poor in the AFCON and must be benched.. Chuks must know that he's replaceable..

He wasn’t average in the game that he created 3 clear cut chances in the first half. Even if he was average, so was his co-midfielders. It’s not like all our players are world beaters

Chuks was poor in the AFCON. So for me it's either Ejuke, Dennis or Amoo on that wing..

If possible mk nff reach out to Bournemouth’s billing again

Dude hv been doing very well in the championship this current season

Ayam in my house eating white soup with fufu so come n beat me

Mujtahida:

Second time you are saying this. Which match did Nwakali create 3 goalscoring chances? I guess you are talking about the GB match.

As I recall It was one chance he created. The one Sadiq missed. Please state the other two. Let's talk facts not opinions or imaginations
