Lamiri:
The guy really deserves a chance to play for us

jihday:
and if he had flopped, it's you and your ilk that will come and blame coach for not sticking to what has been working, Oga coach carry go jare and disregard all these armchair analyst.

EEGA:
Presently,both of them lack the quality to lead our attack.
Nacho missed chances against Senegal before his equalizer and was poor against S.A.

Ighalo on his part is not that good on our Jersey,failed to score with a mid-field of such quality.

You can't take any of the two as a starter to the WC.
Kc might also fail to score if he was picked for the Zambian game.

Hence, the need for a good nine.

I expect Iheanacho to step up his game and claim the No.9 position,since he and Ighalo are now in the same position.

We should not rule out the possibility of a new invitee becoming our WC no.9 since the both of them have failed.

Our team works this way"when u get ur chance, give ur best and in face of competition, step-up your game.Ifin you fail to abide by this rule, you are out.You can ask Omeruo and Shehu.

Nigerdeltaboi:
Amen o, left to some fans, robots should play since they want 100% perfection.

Napoleon55:
u love to criticize all our home born players,and praise all the English born to high heavens.

blueto:
Everton will now be like “why did we loan him out in the first place?”

junnyjake:


work permit.

Humility017:

you talking as if elderson never flopped...

komekn:


Already sorted, signed sealed and delivered for Nigeria SE. A natural left footed player who plays wing midfield and can easily play left WB with true blistering pace.

That's the end of the weak link on the left side.

daveP:
The silliest excuse for someone they considered not that good. See how they settled Gabby Jesus' own in no time. Some epl teams dey vex me. A common norm linked with naija talents since 2008 or wayback!!@Permit

WHEN WILL WE PLAY ENGLAND OH

I want to paint Wembley Green.

Mujtahida:

That's just what the stress has been. Play this guy in his strength and he will thrive. Is it not the Nacho we know before? They are suffering the boy I swear. They did the same thing to Mikel. Imagine in 2005, guy was second best to none other than Messi. Messi flourished in his natural position while Mikel stymied trying to cut it in a position that Yes, using his great footballing abilities, he survived in but till date many soccer pundits still look back wistfully to 2005 and imagine the beast of a beauty that Mikel would have been. It is to his great credit and boundless ability that he survived that experiment. Now they've started on Nacho. Even his u-17 coaches have cried out that the guy is best as a SS but No, they must go on. Imagine Iheanacho as SS with Iwobi on the right, both of them switching like they did to the ruin of Mweene and Mikel behind them what wreckage they would cause to teams. It's really painful. I think the thing is start a player in his natural position, when he's established there you can move him like Gaurdiola did to Lahm moving him to midfield after Lahm had established himself as a RB.

Everton Loanee Onyekuru Welcomes New Coach Of Anderlecht With Brace Against Mechelen

On loan Everton forward Henry Onyekuru continued his rich vein of form for his loan side Anderlecht by scoring twice in their 4-2 win over KV Mechelen.


The game was the first for coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck who was appointed by the team to help rescue a poor start to the season for the team who are representing Belgium in the UEFA Champions League.


Onyekuru wasted no time in introducing himself to the manager by scoring twice within a space of seven minutes in the 30th and 37th minute precisely to put his side 3-1 up before the half time break.


‎He now has six goals in ten games for Anderlecht, a form that has already lead to talks about a possible return to Everton in January, as they are struggling to score goals.


Last season he scored 24 goals in all competitions for modest side Eupen, and he is in line to better the tally if he maintains his current rich vein in front of goal till the end of the season.

bataderemi:
Why does it seem like Onyekuru and Dennis are not rated here? They both seem 'hotter' than Kelechi and Ighalo.

daveP:
1st boldened is a mockery of Ighalo(how many he don score with head). 2nd boldened is a mockery of Lacaz, Nacho is better, except at achievements.

TheGoodJoe:


Keep in mind Onyekuru is not playing the nine role at Anderlecht. Also, not because he is scoring in Belgium ticks him ahead of others. Remember that Everton also did not fight to keep him.

Either way, I feel we have a special talent in Onyekuru and I expect him to have a blast when he gets a run in the EPL.

TheGoodJoe:


I still disagree with the SS role. Look at Dortmund for instance. Aubameyang gets to have some games four to five clean chances. However, he gets to miss loads and still record an impressive goal scoring rate.

Put Iheanacho in such a role and see him bury goals repeatedly. Can you say someone wants to cage Aubameyang? The pace and intensity of the other players will blow any team doing that.

Iheanacho is not in a team that creates chances. Look at Monaco last season. How can you hold who ever leads the attack. The pressure from all angles restricts that.

The problem is not the role but the lack of offensive set-up. Which Iheanacho is suffering from both in the National team and Leicester City.

Just like the SA game, with a brilliant passer in the midfield, Nacho would have shone.

Joebie:
Onyekuru always cuts in to score. Sometimes he drifts there and scores. He's scored a couple headers from the 9 position as well. Don't forget he said #9 is his preferred role.
Hence, I consider him a #9 as well. These players are more versatile than we think. Most times you guys just check the formation and run with it.
Many of today's forwards can adapt.

forgiveness:



Ajagun only played for a season at Roda fc and he played mostly as an AM.

Point of correction, he has been with the same coach for 4 years counting. from Panothiakios to Roda and now belgium.

Besides, there is no where he hasn't played Ajagun on the field save CB.

You can not find a utility player of Ajagun's caliber.

tbaba1234:


He is not a number 9.

I watch most of his games last year and a few this season.

He is more like an inside forward.

Joebie:
outside forward?

I mostly saw him at left forward. But those number labels don't restrict these players.
Read my previous post again.

tbaba1234:


He plays from the left but drives inside instead of crossing.

He is an inside forward.

TheGoodJoe:
Mickael2, to answer your question, Siasia is a better tactician than Rohr.

Joebie:
oh in that sense. Well like I said he Onyekuru said #9 is his preferred position.
Doesn't he show potential of #9 when you watch him?

Because I've noticed that even before he spoke about his preferred position.
