Joebie: Mbappe runs diagonally into or towards the box, he plays as a striker on the left but tracks back to at least midfield... Osimhen can operate like that from the right ( Chukwueze's wing )... I have seen him score goals from the right by running diagonally into the box and shooting the ball, the issue is will he drop deep to midfield to pick up the ball then run at defenders... most people ( 99% ) on this thread won't agree with your suggestion.. France plays Mbappe, Benzema, Dembele, Griezmann in the same starting 11... why can't Nigeria also play a powerful starting 11... people on this thread are scared that a player may out-perform their favorite player.. |

Seriously, i like your submission, but you are making a faulty comparison. Messi operating from the wings don’t make any striker outshine him. Osimhen is the best player we have right now. Nobody can take that from him. codemaniacs: |

Joebie:Orban’s style of play will make him explode in any terrain he finds him self. He is explosive,strong,a good carrier of the ball and can shoot from outside the 18 yard box. Also he’s technical ability is decent with the tendency of improving in the nearest future. Remember he is just 20 He can’t be compared to an onuachu who feeds only on aeriel balls and tap in Even when onuachu was scoring for fun in Belgium I never rated him and many times said he will flop in a more competitive league and many labeled me a hater for stating the obvious. The same reason after scoring truck load of goals no serious team considered him good enough to splash the type of money genk were demanding before soton came calling The same league a young osimhen tore to shreds with even low goal ratio when compared to that of onuachu but still earned a move to lille while the latter who had better goal scoring ratio struggled for almost 3 reasons to get a move to lowly rated soton |

Let’s have the discussion, because we have seen other players who are not natural wingers operate from there. The question is how to make SE stronger, not necessarily playing Osimhen in his fav position. Papi85: 1 Like 1 Share |

Joebie:osimhen doesn’t hv those tricks and turns to operate from the flanks. He has the pace but I seriously doubt he will be a hand full for the opposition’s defenders coming from the flanks Just like playing lewandoski,lukaku,haaland and haller from the flanks. They won’t be effective at all I will rather try Moffi,boniface and Orban frm the flanks instead of osimhen,awoniyi or sadiq The last trio I mentioned are out and out number 9s who are very effective when played in their natural position 6 Likes |

Papi85: its not about tricks... Lukaku does it alot.. runs diagonally from the right into the box then scores and since he is tall and big he doesn't need tricks because it will be difficult to tackle him and push him off the ball, other players will fall down looking for the foul... Boniface can play from the flanks on both wings, from the goals I just watched on Youtube he can operate on both wings.. put Osimhen on the right, put Boniface on the Left, then put Awoniyi in the center then Orban behind Awoniyi and you have a deadly attack. |

Papi85:osihmen would even fare better playing as a second striker than as a winger. We need to utilize him well and it can only come as him leading the forward line. |

codemaniacs: Griezman is at he’s best when deployed as an SS/AM which is he’s natural position. He can as well play from the right wing and cf which naturally makes him a well rounded offensive player but he is more effective playing behind a number 9 You can’t compare griezman’s ability to that of osimhen or awoniyi. They are differently built and hv their natural position which suits their attributes and natural abilities more When the CIV had drogba, kalou and others why didn’t dey for once deploy drogba as a SS or winger? Rather they always play kalou in those position all the tym even when kalou made he’s name at feyenord as a cf where he scored goals that attracted chelsea to bring him to London Osimhen and awoniyi can never function at the same time wether as an SS,AM,RW or LW You for kuku ask wetin mk westahof no play efan ekoku and yekini at the same time but preferred siasia or amokachi instead of the former Wimbledon and Norwich hit man Kanu and agali started some matches for the super eagles because kanu can play the SS position perfectly with he’s natural ability to serve as the link between the midfield and attack. Such ability comes naturally. It’s inbuilt and neither osimhen nor awoniyi has it The same reason ex Dutch international Bergkamp was mostly deployed behind Henry by wenger at arsenal year ago even when former is a striker as well |

lbrichman2: That's the point... unlike Osimhen.... Boniface, Awoniyi and Orban drop deep and track back to help the defense and midfield.. and they should be instructed to drop deep.. put Iwobi and Onyedika in Midfield or remove Orban and put Iwobi, Onyeka or Nwakali and Onyedika in midfield.. S.E already plays with a lean midfield and not scoring goals, so its better to put the strongest attack and see if they will score than to not invite them or put them on the bench.. S.E and Nigerian coaches have penchant for not inviting the best players or putting the best players on the bench... |

Papi85: I've been thinking about this and I have come to the conclusion that Onuachu's agent must be very lazy and inefficient. In fact, the guy na cow. Why did get him a move to Southampton of all places? Didn't he see mid table teams like Fulham and Brighton that specialize in a lot of dangerous crosses into the box? Onuachu would have scored more goals playing as a back up striker to Mitrovic or even struggling for the number 9 spot with Welbeck/Ferguson in Brighton. He scored lots of goals in Genk because he had the likes of Ito and Bongonda around him. These players knew how to cross the ball. I can't even name any good Southampton winger/fullback but in Fulham, there's Willian. In Brighton, there's Mitoma, March, Gross. These players can guarantee you at least two good crosses each, per game. If those teams don't want you, then stay in your Belgium or move to Spain/France. That move to Southampton still dey vex me till today. |

Papi85: Yeah, you're right and that's why I said he should have stayed in Belgium since they didn't indicate interest in him but I still feel his agent could have done more. If a relegation threatened Southampton was the best team he could get for Onuachu in the EPL even with all the goals he scored in Belgium, then he must be a quack agent. Try comparing him with Choupo Moting's agent and you'll see what I mean. 1 Like 1 Share |
