Surebaba01: Eguavoen plays an offensive system. Pull back Aribo to run box to box, take off Onyeka and put Nacho behind Osimhen. That is my expected line up. 2 Likes |

Arsenal have joined the race for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian has become one of the most sought after forwards in world football after 21 goals in 44 league appearances for Napoli. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is targeting a big striker signing this summer after the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nkeitah are also entering the final months of their respective contracts. Gazzetta dello Sport - via Sport Witness - have reported that Osimhen is on Arsenal's radar. However, their pursuit of Osimhen will depend on whether they have enough to cash to meet Napoli's asking price of £84million. The north London club are currently in fourth on the Premier League and securing Champions League football could go a long way to signing Osimhen next summer. Manchester United and Newcastle United have also been linked with the 23-year-old. 2 Likes |

Thirteen of the players invited for the Super Eagles showdown with the Black Stars landed in Abuja on Monday ahead of the team's first training session. Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has showed up in camp and joining him are his former Leicester City teammate Kelechi Iheanacho, Watford midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo, Omonia Nicosia duo Andullahi Shehu and Francis Uzoho, and Nantes winger Moses Simon. The remaining players in camp are Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina, Daniel Akpeyi, Semi Ajayi, Odion Ighalo and Frank Onyeka. The players still being expected as at 2330 hours on Monday include Maduka Okoye, Kenneth Omeruo, Calvin Bassey, Zaidu Sanusi, Joe Aribo, Akinkunmi Amoo, Innocent Bonke, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen, Umar Sadiq, Emmanuel Dennis and Ademola Lookman. The Super Eagles' players and officials are scheduled to fly out to Ghana on a chartered flight on Wednesday, March 23. The Ghana Football Association have yet to confirm the players invited for the World Cup playoff as part of their strategy to surprise the Super Eagles but the fact is that almost every football loving Nigerian can name the opponents' ideal starting lineup. Thirteen players in Nigeria camp Monday, March 21, 2022 Goalkeepers (2) : Daniel Akpeyi, Francis Uzoho Defenders (5) : William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Leon Balogun, Ola Aina, Abdullahi Shehu Midfielders (2) : Frank Onyeka, Oghenekaro Etebo Strikers (4) : Odion Ighalo, Ahmed Musa, Kelechi Iheanacho, Moses Simon 3 Likes |

Do you know that Ghana is ranked as slight favourites to win the first leg of the playoffs. I looked at our defense line and all I could see is mediocrity. None of the defenders have played active football in the last 2months for their club sides except Calvin bassey (who would most likely would be benched), and Sanusi. Are players like abdullahi shehu, balogun, ekong, with unfit omeruoand match rusty etebo the most in-form footballers Nigeria can come up with? Now the only player close to world class in our squad Ndidi is out. I hope people won't be disappointed after the game |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by jasena: 6:12am On Mar 22, 2022 |
The midfield was already weak with the absence of a creative midfielder which Ndidi doubled as both a defensive midfielder and a creative midfielder in the last afcon,. Now Ndidi is out. Check out any cup wining team they need a creative midfielder, they need someone like Luka modric, the reason Spain won the world cup and euro back then was the midfield. They didn't have outstanding strikers but with xavi and iniesta in the centre it was hard for the opponents to gain meaningful possession. Eguavon should look for a creative midfielder, when we won the afcon in 2013 Mikel made more decisive passes than any other player in that afcon edition. He was the livewire spearheading the attackers with incisive passes. We need a player like that, The absence of a creative midfielder was why we couldn't equalise against Tunisia, and eguavon tried to bring in Iwobi to fill that gap but he should have had planned his team around a playmaker from the onset and now we still lack one 1 Like 1 Share |

Surebaba01:coach eguavoen's pattern at the AFCON was an offensive style. And I'm sure that would be the same approach against Ghana. Oshimen upfront, iheanacho behind him. Aribo at the CM role and onyeka at DM (4-4-2) 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: Sadiq Umar underlying stats are wonderful. He will win penalties create 5 chances and complete 7 dribbles in a match. He has 9 assists and has won 4 penalties this season. He has ball carrying which is fundamental. No wonder Eguavon likes him. He is a very creative and effective forward. His all round play is the real reason teams are after him 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: Don't you think there is a double standard here as well as nepotism and favouritism. These leagues are rated close to 20 in Europe and they are not the most competitive of leagues by quality. But people go up in arms when the mention of the Championship and much more English league one players are mentioned as potential SE players. Amoo may indeed become the next Mbappe , but at the moment he has not justified a call up playing 60:+ minutes for Copenhagen. When there are far better players in better leagues and clubs . The NFF give credence to unproven youth players defying all rational even before they have done anything. It's obvious that most are anchored on past relationships with NFF big Wigs. 2 Likes |

Rockyrascal: Nacho should not start. We need creativity behind Osimhen. Nacho can't provide that. He can come in second half. I know some people go get erection ontop my assertion and misunderstand it, but who cares? Yes he scores goals once in a while, but truth is, Nacho will limit our creativity upfront and make our midfield Minus-one. I mean I don't get it; doing the same thing over and over again means Eguavoen hasn't learnt his lesson from the last Afcon. 4 Likes |

We cannot afford to be short in midfield. This game is a battle of midfield. Forget about wingers, them go try cage our wings, hence, whoever controls the midfield, wins this game. I can guarantee you that. 4 Likes 1 Share |

AndSunGorilla: Actually Ovie has just come back from long standing Injury , Tega is on his way to the EPL with Fulham and Chuks has played 5 games and 2 goals for Charlton athletic in league. But once again Chuks is injured again he is unfortunately very very injury prone he was out for two seasons with injury at one stage. Well as you know Aribo came ftom League one straight to the SE from Charlton. But I actually be don't think league one players should be considered unless they are clearly best in league and club like Aribo clearly was. And by the same yardstick players in back street in leagues in Europe. |

andrewbaba44: I really really like Etebo followed him from his Warri Wolves days. I had very great expectations , was expecting him to be the next Ngole Kante when he first went to Stoke city but it just didn't happen. He is struggling for game time in Watford not more than 8 games all season. He has been Injured as well. Should he be invited in my opinion No. |

samtol4: If you put Chukwueze in that low level league he will be like Mbappe and Messi. So it's very difficult to say if he is true quality or he just seems good in that low level league. He needs to go to a higher level before we can know for sure how good he is. He is being promoted to the university from primary school without passing any exam IMO. |
