Tessyy1701: I appreciate these answers. Seems the majority that have responded prefer Boniface followed by Iheanacho and then Sadiq. No mention of any other striker yet. But kindly pick one. I know why. 3 Likes

zoboizee: I like the case for Moffi. You make fine points. Their footedness truly offers that double edged approach in terms of shooting angles. I understand why you prefer Moffi. Looks like Moffi has entered the chat. Boniface has more of the preference. Iheanacho is next. Sadiq and Moffi with one each. Interesting. And they all have solid reasons why each should be the one. But I can also tell you, each has demerits as well. 2 Likes 2 Shares

Forgiveness making a case for Awoniyi and subtly downplaying Boniface and indirectly Osimhen shouldn't push anyone to dislike or hate on Awoniyi. Awo is still quality. We all know that. So let us not withhold our thoughts on him just because someone is desperately making a case for Awo alone. I really hope we can get to the level in here, as a house, where no one can make you change your genuine thoughts on a player just because someone talks about that player so much and even goes ahead to water down the quality of other players to make a case for his preference. I must stress the fact that Awoniyi is a quality number 9 and is one of the few strikers in our striker pool who can actually comfortably lead an attack as a true arrowhead. A true attacking pivot. But you see, as an attacking partner, he won't fit into the 442 alongside Osimhen. I trust the ball knowledge of this thread has actually grown so much to know that Awo is kinda similar to Osimhen and would attack the same spaces as Osimhen. This is why all who have answered my post haven't picked Awo for that role. It shows you all know ball. Kudos. For Awo to thrive in such a formation, Osimhen would have to fall to the channels in certain game phases. In all, let us not allow anyone affect the true thoughts we have on a player. This also applies to Komekn. He talks up a lot of players but him own dey simple - Most times they turn out to be not so good. So him own dey mostly cast😂😂😂😂 In all, it is good to rub mind on the qualities of our players so we know for sure what we have and work with that. I like honest analytical discussions that generates knowledge and educate others on the profiles of our pool of talents. Cheers. 12 Likes 4 Shares

Some of these people are so deluded that they think I am supporting a player because he is from a particular region. Oga! You can never blackmail me to shut my mouth because I present facts. Stop hidden behind your keyboard and come out plainly to say... I don't rate Awoniyi. Chikena. God no go vex . |

Kog45:Elder Kog sir.. This is quite simple. 1. It was Nerdie's list. Anybody can come up with his own list. 2. Awoniyi was not in the equation because he was not available for the last friendlies due to injury. 3. Awoniyi do get his deserved praises her on this thread. Nobody will just put him aside without any reason when the talk about Afcon squad arises here. 4. Humility didn't in anyway mention tribalism. He said something about political talk. 5. The intent of the Forgiveness was well understood by most of us here because it was so glaring. 6. As for who is more technical, this is not done in any way to bring one player down. Since we are using a 2-man strike force, it is highly important that we choose the best pair that is complementary. This is where we dissect each players strength and weaknesses. Nacho, Sadiq and Boniface are quite flexible which set them up in a group. Osimhen and Awoniyi are target men. The 'bullish' ones . Tactically, it is not advisable to pair them together since they are quite similar. Saying Boniface and Osimhen is our best pair doesn't put Awo down in anyway. In short, Awoniyi is in competition with Osimhen for that half pair of the twin strike force. 7 Likes 1 Share |

forgiveness: He is not better,but he offers something different with his play of style .I would rada pair both together(boniface/awoniyi) or osimhen/boniface) not (awoniyi/osimhen)..d last pairing didn’t work. Meanwhile barring any last minute injury,taiwo awoniyi going to d nations cup is as sure as osimhen going too. 3 Likes |

zoboizee:Nice analysis sir. However, I think pairing based on strong foot as stated in your last sentence is only done for the central defenders. As for the other qualities you highlighted, Boniface possesses those and currently, he is doing better than Moffi. This is why Boniface is getting the 'raves'. |

Kog45:That argument can certainly be made. Osimhen is a straight pipe like Rashidi Yekini. He's lacking in guile or suaveness. Have you ever seen Osimhen score curlers like Mbappe regularly does? |

elyte89: Hahahahahahaha! You got the point but from what I observed here, it's not about injury. They believe Awoniyi should jostle for fourth striker slot with other srrikers. Meaning he is not rated. I was like, you don't mean it!? |

I agree. Sadiq's guile and technical nous with a balanced centre of gravity will compliment Moffi's linkman/off-the-last-shoulder traits. Also it could provide a nice Big Striker-Bigger Striker combo with Sadiq doing the holdups or layoffs for Moffi to latch on to. But alas... not workable as Sadiq can hardly win aerials or stay on his feet. His hold up also is average if not below. It's sad seeing Sadiq's technical side being let down by his physical side. mostob: 1 Like |

You have refused showing us where someone said Awo is not in Top 6 Naija CFs. Now I want you to show us where anyone says Awo will jostle for 4th striker slot. The way you are going about this only exposes your intentions more and more. You should have outgrown this behavior by now to be honest. forgiveness: 2 Likes |

mostob:The thing is that regardless of what you think is the motive of a commenter, treat his comment from a footballing point of view. If you do, the discussion will proceed as a football discussion. If you swallow the bait (that's if there's a bait because this is just an assumption on your part) and proceed to tackle the discussion from a political or ethnic point of view, then football will take backstage. 3 Likes |
