Meliforme: Do you know what technique is? It is not pace or dribbling. it is not strength or work rate. Technique is how neat and precise you are in carrying out functions in your position. Imagine saying Etebo has better technique than Iwobi, that is blasphemy. Etebo that struggles to trap ball sometimes, all work rate with no product. Unsurprisingly, the guys you said Iwobi is ahead of are actually the guys who are ahead of Iwobi (except Simon and Onyeka, maybe Chuks). Ndidi has the best technique in the team, the way he cleans up in defense with tidy tackles is definitely top 5 in the world alongside Kante, Verratti etc. Aribo also has better technique, his ball carrying, neat tackles and progressive carries are also unrivalled in the team. Nacho has the best shooting and passing technique in the team, but his work rate, control, and awareness leave so much to be desired. Osimhen's athleticism covers much of his deficiency in technique, but he still has excellent control and long passing techniques. Surprisingly, I think Osimhen's technique was much better in Lille than in Napoli, it was as if he made a tradeoff for physicality when he joined Napoli. 5 Likes |

komekn: With the I agree but our football has actually regressed. The players we had in the 80s and 90s were actually better. Felix owolabi, Friday elaho etc. The level of coaching has actually depreciated. I think coaching has to be taken seriously. Ronaldo da Lima was coached by Jarzinho (who played in the 1970 world cup for brazil)) when he was very young. Maybe we should attach specialists in youth football to the kids in our academies. Now is the time to start it. Its a serious issue. You see if Ibrahimovic was born in Nigeria, he could have been limited by the poor coaching he will get. A 12 year old boy in a football academy in Europe has more knowledge of football tactics than a 17 year old boy in Nigeria and this is where the problem starts from |

komekn: Ndidi is miles ahead of Iwobi. The only problem I have with Ndidi is his shooting, once he gets his long range shooting back to Genk levels he will be one of the best DMs in the world. You would be hard pressed to find players who are better defensively than Ndidi, off the top of my head maybe Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Dias etc and they are all CBs. No DM I have seen cleans up better than Ndidi. Casemiro has gotten too sloppy, Rodri barely has anything to do on most occasions, Rice is a beast in attack but doesn't offer the same defensive cover. 1 Like |

PurpleHouse: Iheanacho's shooting is still among the best in the world. Despite his poor play sometimes, he is necessary for a well rounded team the same way a player like Onuachu is necessary. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by yinkeys(m): 9:55pm On Feb 18, 2022 |
PurpleHouse:Iheanacho is the best technically gifted forward we have right now. Positioning, trickery, attacking football IQ, shots accuracy etc Dennis comes second in trickery You obviously don’t watch his games at Leicester He’s got tremendous shot accuracy Don’t understand what some of you guys watch o Did you watch his last 2 games ? Eguavon wasn’t stupid to start Iheanacho & Ndidi in all our games Iheanacho almost single handedly dragged Leicester to FA Cup final last season, particularly his performance in the Man Utd game He’s a clever forward 5 Likes |

drDoom3: Technique refers to the skill or competence required to perform a function or task. In football, there are skills required to execute it. Some of these includes: First touch, Passing, Shooting, Dribbling, Holding on to the ball, Marking, Slide tackle, Stand tackle, etc The combination of these skills and the accuracy of their execution will determine a player's gradation in technique. Take for instance Ndidi. You said he is the player with the best technique in S.E. How well are his passing, shooting and dribbling. Ndidi is great at short passes, but what about his non-existent long passes even as a midfielder, How is his dribbling and shooting. Ejuke has the best technique in the current crop, his long passes have the accuracy of 83%. Remember, it is the techniques you bring to your game, the frequency of their execution, and the accuracy of their execution that determines how you are graded technically. 3 Likes |

yinkeys: Trickery Taaaaaah! Meshonu dia You mean a player that strolls over the pitch? Yes he scores and he's highly good with his accuracy. But my point is that we need our midfield stockpiled with creativity to compliment our wingers, so Nacho needs to be sacrificed for that to happen. And if Egu stil goes on using Nacho thereby weakening our midfield, it means he's learned nothing. 1 Like |

andrewbaba44: No way is ndidi more technically gifted than iwobi. You forgot that iwobi was mentored by the great “arsene wenger” and he passed through various Arsenal youth squad before he migrated to the senior team. Iwobi was actually a good dribbler and technically gifted until the last few seasons. Too many ogogoro analysts on here 1 Like |
