Moses simon is an average player. You all keep mentioning him because he is a regular international. Left for me, his time is over
Simon Moses time is over? Abi not the same Moses that gave assist to Lookman against Benin.I think he still needed if player like Chuckwueze is still getting invitations despite not too impressive outings with eagles.

But what do you guys think about a front 3 of Lookman, Osimhen and Boniface playing as attackers from the left, middle and the right?

Can it work?


Forlan, Suarez, Cavani worked. They even played Lavezzi, Forlan, Suarez, Cavani all played together for Uruguay and were devastating to their oppositions.

Yes it can work but we need to keep in mind that we have Ejuke, Simon Moses, Chukwueze, and Nathan Tella to consider.

I always prefer a manager having a mental picture of how his team will setup to play and pick players to fill each role that they fit. Not trying to shoehorn players into a squad and create a system to play them.

Does this boy not realize that he is a professional playing for a serious organization? I hope that, he isn’t deceived by foolish Nigerians on twitter egging him on displaying such unprofessional behavior? These was exactly how they egged the other victor and now his languishing at a backwater league at his prime. Anyway, a word is enough for the wise.. how anyone with good intentions for Boniface will find this funny is bewilding

Make we dey look bros

Victor Osimhen is 60% responsible for his current predicament. There is a way to approach such racism and conflict with wisdom because any wrong move and your career is at stake but no...Nigerians online kept egging him on. Now see. Even that first game people were hyping was less than impressive. How do you go from Top 10 in world football to playing in Turkey?

As for Boniface, leave that one. He is one player whose age I believe because he acts immature (true to his age). I feel when he goes on a goal drought and becomes the target of racist fans in Germany, he will sit up. He hasn't experienced clapback from fans, hence his silly behaviour

If I knock your head. Mikel does not have one percent of both talents. He was just a peripheral ball passer and was lucky to play for chelsea. He didn't do anything spectacular

Watch the clip below and understand how bright Mikel Obi's talent was.

Now, I see why Mikel distanced himself from them during his playing career and only embraced them for PR purposes. One should always avoid “see finish” because that’s how disrespect emenates

I don't understand why you want to blame Osimhen. PSG came with a fantastic deal and his club sabotaged it. The club attacked him racially despite him being their best player.

I don't know anyone in the history of football being treated this way. The reason Osimhen is in Turkey is because he did not want to work with the slave terms of Napoli.

When Osimhen does wrong, I will support any critique against him but in this case, you are off tangent.

I really don't know about others but to me, he is not upto average. He is just a flash in a pan most times and afterwards, he goes ghost mode for more than 10 matches.
He should be ashamed that Ademola who just started playing for the GWG is doing better than him and might become the next African Best

The. Problem with chuks is he is too “relaxed” hence d zeal to improve and be consistent on his performance is not dere..he’s part of the players I am willing to weed out..though he will be on probation till he improves

Please remind us the last time Chukwueze contributed to a goal or scored for the GWG.
Let's not even go too far, remind us the last time he won a MOTM for the GWG... Is that also too far?
Remind us the last time Chukwueze had a special highlight playing for the GWG.
Even at AC Milan, oga has returned to the bench and night be sold to a lesser team at the end of this season.
Simon brings more attacking threat to the Eagles 🦅
He had an assist in our match and against Benin Republic and he is far better than Chukwueze assisting the team in defending

He doesn't just have it in him and he can't give what he doesn't have. A Salah kind of left winger that can't score from the left wing. Even Noni Madueke recently scored a hat trick for Chelsea playing from that same wing.
I feel the brother is us, he have overhyped these players and we started expecting them to showcase the qualities that they lack.

I need to chip this in, Tosin Adarabioyo is fvcking good with his feet, playing from the back. I wonder why he has been Benched before now for Chelsea. He is also so calm on the ball and his positioning is world class

Some people just come in here and speak nonsense in the name of personal opinion.

How would any football fan see this clip and not gasp at the Monstrous talent on show here?

If this clip belonged to a current talent born in 2006, we would all be in massive awe yet this was Mikel in 2005 as an 18yr old.

Mikel was insanely talented.

The best highlights of Chuckwueze in GWG recently is jumping on the shoulders of the goalscorers. Only a substitution denied us that highlight.

Exactly. Use these guys as your calvary to batter your opponents and then use any of Chukwueze, Moses Simon or any other choice substitute to finish them off.

I agree so long as the system is not tiki taka. 😂😂😂 But on a serious note that's a brilliant idea. Have a template of how you want to play rather than forcing the players into a system. The difference is the difference between wearing a fitted suit and wearing a tight suit.

This is precisely the philosophy of my client cos he already has over 100 different formations with different tactical nuances and strategies. Yori yori for life!

It's very a childish, sissy kind of behavior. It's a shame that a man (I suspect it's the same person using different monikers) would engage in this kind of immature, senseless conduct.

The best is to continue to ignore the meathead
