This is how I rate these three players according to their dribbling skills.

1, Isaac Success
2, Taiwo Awoniyi
3, Kelechi Iheanacho

However, in the last match I saw Nacho played he showed flashes of dribbling skills.

Yes he does but he cut down on it during his time at Manchester City. A good example was in his first pre-season game against Kansas. There was a delightful trick move he pulled off then.
thanks i have not seen him make an understanding dribbling

Why not?

Every footballer has dribbling skills.

What you do is to compare his with that of another footballer and ask who has more dribbling skills.

He used to have a fairly good dribbling ability during his U17 days, and he showed glimpses of that during the Pellegrini era, though regressed. From what I have seen this season, the little dribbling ability he has has been drilled out of him. He now lacks that confidence of taking out outfield players. Another indictment of the Pep era on the young man.

It is also difficult to rate them on a scale such as what you proposed as they all play in different leagues with different levels of competition. Besides we have not really seen some of those players on that list in good enough action to judge.

However, I will put them in two categories and rate some of them comparatively in this order with number 1 being the best and down like that:

Group1:I have seen them well enough play as senior team professionals either at club levels and or Super Eagles:
1. Alex Iwobi
2. Moses Simon
3. Isaac Success
4. Kelechi Iheanacho
5. Oghene Karo Etebo
6. Henry Onyekuru
7. Wifred Ndidi
8. Abdul Ajagun
9. Chuba Apkom
10. Olanrewaju Kayode
11. Samuel Kalu
12. Stephen Odey

Group2: I have mostly seen them play as youth internationals. Never really seen enough of their post junior international games even at club level to judge. So my judgment here is based mostly on skills displayed at U17 and U20/23:

1. Musa Yahaya
2. Kelechi Nwakali
3. Victor Osimhen
4. Taiwo Awoniyi

I cannot rate Noah Obazee cos I have not seen him well enough.

Awoniyi is just one year younger than kelechi and about one and a half years younger than Success.

Last year, Isaac Success was voted player of the season at Granada, Last year, Kelechi had a great season at a top premier league club.

Awoniyi is playing at a much lower level and is not producing similar results.

At the end of the day, football is about results.

I hope he finds his feet but right now, he is not yet there.
See me see trouble o, why would u expect him to be there yet. Abeg don't be like the parents who say look at ur mates because every situation is different
Forget age look at the level they were at before they played the u20's. Iheanacho and Success were not as regular as Awoniyi is for his club. Right now he is learning and also gaining experience the goals will come.

why is it that you just like saying absurd things? Awoniyi? Dribbling? Skills?! When exactly did that happen?

When he played the U17, one of the physiotherapists here was sold on the guy, I told him that the guy cannot dribble just that he is clinical and that he would lose his touch soon and then he'd become a fluke. Once you take out the clinical part of Awoniyi's game, he becomes a poor player, he cannot dribble, he creates every now and then but dribbling and Awoniyi should not be used in the same sentence...no, in the same essay in fact

Good rating of the players.

I think much of his training in Man City has been centered on him developing more as a poacher

The three players are signed to clubs in the EPL

I think our youngsters should not be too eager to go to the Premier League. The Premier League is unique for its style. Even some great players have failed to adapt to it. Success and Iheanacho will develop better in the Spanish or German league. Now that's another argument.

But is Chidiera Ezeh a DM?

tbaba1234:
Chidera Ezeh's goal today helped Portimonense gain promotion.

I think, he should stay for another season before returning to Porto.

The DM role in the Super Eagles is very tough but Ezeh is still young.

By drawing his legs back, moving it forward with force and hitting the ball towards an open teammate. In other words, by passing the ball

You sure know the boy.

His build up play is excellent. He will always need to play 1-2 touches with a team mate to get over his opponents.
But when it comes to facing a defender 1 on 1 he usually falls short.

He is an excellent team player and also good in finishing. But the dribbling skills is not just there.

I for join this argument. I think "who is a better striker?" will bring more quality debate. then we can look at all their attributes. Dribbling alone is not enough for a striker. Some strikers dribble without any good end product, like good passes or scoring -- that does not help the team in any way.
