Chuks is skinning Marcelo badly. If I was Madrid coach, Marcelo wouldn't start second half.

Danielnino00:


Nothing is guaranteed.. We all saw how Akpogunma case turned out..Ejuke was tipped for big things back then, and now some people won't mind dropping him from the team.. Awoniyi had a stellar campaign in the budensliga, but there are some who believe he failed at the AFCON..What about Sadiq?
You definitely know what I'm talking about..

Until we see Lookman play for the super eagles, it's premature to conclude that he is better than our current corp of wingers...

Akpoguma hasn’t turn out badly

Iwobi never trends when he is playing well. What a performance.

Meliforme:


Chukwueze did not fail.

The system did not play to his strengths.

Chukwueze failed at the afcon

Who is he that they should play to his strength ?

Even Egypt is not playing Liverpool type of football to suit salah

Meliforme:
Deep-lying playmaking.

Who is a deep-lying-playmaker.
A deep-lying playmaker is a holding midfielder who specializes in ball skills such as passing, rather than defensive skills like tackling. -Wikipedia.

What are the roles of a deep-lying playmaker.
Their role is to sit in between the defense and attack, starting attacks by spraying passes in all directions. They dictate play from a rather withdrawn position when compared to modern-day number 10s .Ball retention and defensive concerns aren't major responsibilities of a deep-lying playmaker, their job is to collect the ball from defense, create space, find the players in good positions/making good runs and to make sure the ball reaches them with pin point accuracy.

What positions do deep-lying playmakers occupy on the field of play.
In 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1, They occupy one of the central roles in the midfield 4, they pair the defensive midfielder in 4-2-3-1, 3-4-3, 3-5-2. They also have roles in 4-3-3 depending on the coach's philosophy and style of play.

What skillsets do deep-lying playmakers possess.
Vision, creativity, technique.

How do you identify a deep-lying playmaker.
They make a high number of short passes while attempting to find space and openings to dispatch the ball forward.
Their passing accuracy is at insanely high levels.
They calm the play down and make a team tick by sending players off in right directions and getting them past pockets of space behind opposition midfielders.
You can identify them by the long passes they make to wingers and sometimes to center forwards.
Their primary concerns is in making pre-assists, that is making the pass before the final pass, They also make assists.

Accurate, bro. Did someone dispute this?

drDoom3:
Chuks goes on to dribble like 5 Madrid players to go one on one only to fluff the final pass. Dribbling Chuks is back.

That’s who your people want to be dropped for a backwater league player

Imagine if Maguire and Grealish were Africans...SMH...

I'd like to see Declan Rice signed up for that 100m West Ham arw quoting.. Make we see where he better pass Ndidi...

Declan rice is good but still another overrated player

Nobody said chuks should be dropped for amoo,the guy gave his opinion, and besides what did he do with the senseless dribbles at the afcon?

You still want such senseless dribbles against Ghana ?

It’s well

Lookman eager to don Super Eagles

Accurate, bro. Did someone dispute this?

No.
They said that Joe Aribo can be deployed as a DLP.
TheGoodJoe said no and i supported him.

I just wanted them to see who a DLP is.
I mentioned you to see if you can add anything or present a contrary view.

Karlovych:
It seems his management team is also delusional, he deserves more money with useless stats at 23 years of age.
Which other player with such a wonderful skill set is languishing in second division football.

Comment filled with hate and bitterness! My goodness! Na you own the club ? Abeg , chill!

Playing to his abilities and building the play around him are two different things.
He wasn't used in a way that resonates with his style of play.
The thin midfield did not favour him.

You misunderstood me.

Alright Baba

Then we exonerate all underperforming SE Afcon players cos the system did not play to their strengths.

List the names of the players that underperformed.

Someone did in the previous comment

Iwobi has been fire today...

Could have had 2 goals and an assist...

Superb all round play, tackling, pressing, passing

drDoom3:


3 DMs? Is Frank a DM at Brentford? Is Aribo a DM?

Like it or not, our best midfield trio currently is Ndidi - Onyeka - Aribo, each playing slightly ahead of the previous. We can’t start with such a midfield and get overrun in the center, and all three offer decent creativity, football intelligence, and excellent work rate.

There’s no one questioning Aribo and ndidi position on SE midfield. It is the last position that is up to grab and because there isn’t anyone else like nwakali makes be gravitate towards nwakali. But, against Ghana, we need all our Agidi/gragra players I.e etebo, frank

Iwobi is good on his day, it's just that he is the major shareholder of NEPA.

What are you celebrating here ?

Dominic Solanke too wants to switch?
God be praised

TheLoneCitizen:

Whatever Iwobi ate before this game, he should continue taking it before every game.

Philosopher1979:
Watching chukwueze now. He is playing well. What happened to him at afcon I don't know.

I think he was trying to showboat at AFCON like Zuchyblink said ....... Maybe
