DrKlever: Icon4s:hahaha, Rohr has said that He is still the best for now. Aina has not been really tested there so Echiejile will be considered for starting for now until Aina is tested and I hope that will come against Algeria if given a full debut. |

Humility017:No, Iheanacho has not been doing it for his club unlike Ighalo that has been doing fine. Yes he is very lethal, but I will have Ighalo start ahead for now. We have not seen Iheanacho scoring recently, so who knows if his high conversion rate is still very much intact. |

blueto:then replace him wit dessers.... I think we don't want a striker like cavanni as Our main point man... everyday I see reason why we should do all we can to get Tammy....because besides our defense....our CF role need urgent attention.... ighalo is not a dependable striker....we need strikers in the calibre of our wingers.... take a a cursory look at the our wingers... etebo,Dennis,Moses, S Moses, iwobi though can still the Am role, onyekuru,olayinka,serenren bazee, kalu, musa etc 5 Likes |

After the 2014 WC, i expected that Omeruo will be a world class defender by now. He was outstanding in 2013-2014 and still young. Maybe he made the wrong career move by remaining in Chelsea, instead of seeking a permanent transfer when he was still hot. All these turkish moves have not helped him. 3 Likes |

Humility017:If we don't have that “very clinical striker” now, then I suggest Ighalo should retain the spot because of his ability to create chances for others and trouble defenses unlike Nacho that mainly waits for “clear-cut” chances to pounce on which may not be very feasible against sturdy defenses in the world cup and becomes almost unseen when you have good defenders around him. In the last world cup edition, how many goals did Emenike score? but when it came to putting defenses under pressure and creating chances, he was good. With Ighalo's recent performances, he as done better than Emenike in that aspect and also adding goals to his game. Yes, I will like the coach to make the role more competitive by bringing Dessers and others. But my point is, if the team is to play an important match now, with Ighalo and Iheanacho as the main options, it will be apt to start Ighalo ahead of Iheanacho and bring in Iheanacho later in the second half probably when Nigeria is leading. Then he can do his damages like he did against Cameroon because the Cameroonians were more offensive minded at that time he was on the pitch, thereby leaving their defenses more open for Iheanacho to score unlike it was in the first half were Ighalo had to put in much effort to get the first goal. Iheanacho has not been very good at getting goals when defensing is the top priority of the opponents, even when he was at man city, his goals mostly came when the opponent is already losing, thereby making their defenses more vulnerable as they are more concerned with attacking and equalizing. 5 Likes |

blueto: No No No, Ighalo cannot do what Emenike was doing then. Do you think Ighalo could have created that Bosnia goal? For one he doesn't have the pace to even do something like that, he is not the type of striker that can go out in the wing thus allowing another unsighted player free reign in the 18yard box which was what Emenike brought to the party then. Then let's take a cursory look at all the to strikers in the world right now-Suarez, Benzema, Lewandowski, Kane etc etc. All these guys have one thing in common, their ability to also drift away from the box and giving the two CBs a false sense of security allowing their other attacking teammates to score. If Kane does not drift from the middle Alli won't score two goals in a season, same for Suarez and Messi, Benzema/Ronaldo, Lewandowski/Muller(you can see here that Ancellotti disrupted that Lewandowski/Muller, sack letter). This is what worked for us at the last world cup, Emenike drifted away from the box and created a goal for Osaze, he drifted into the middle and created a goal for Musa, this is the type of striker we need as out starter not some kwatankwa striker like Ighalo, which is why I really hope and pray and wish that Iheanacho will check his development because in the present crop of guys he is the only one that can remotely do that. Tammy Abraham cannot do it and so I do not expect him to be a hit for any National Team he plays for. Now that brings me to the two/three guys I have always been clamouring for. Martins, Ike Uche and Osaze. Now Martins and Uche are two strikers who can drift well, infact sometimes you would be left wondering if they are playing as the winger just like what David Villa used to do, no need telling you his achievements from such play and/or Suarez's achievements too. So me clamouring for Ike Uche or Martins isn't because they bagged some goals recently, I am looking at their style of play, Ighalo is the type of forward we should look for when we are chasing a game, never a starter. There is a reason why the Three Lions will still invite Defoe ahead of Tammy despite our show of interest, they are not stupid, they know Defoe drifts more than Tammy thus providing a whole lot more attacking dimension. So please, next time I mention Uche or Martins, it is not because they bagged a couple of goals, it is because their style of play will provide a lot more than what we have now. Cc Joebie, Humility, Icon4s, Kog45 these guys that always attack when they see these names take note 1 Like |

Humility017: you know the truth but you don't want to accept it. Ok like you pointed out, the sorry lot we have now cannot lead our attack in Russia, look left right and center we don't have anyother option. Tammy isn't coming, it is not written in any prophetic hall that Dessers will be a hit, even if he is a hit we still need to come to the world cup with 3-4 out and out strikers, so why not accept the tested and trusted guys? I will take the Liga2 ahead of the bottom half of the Belgian League, infact I can argue, after watching most of their games, tha Lugo will hold their own against Gent, so Ike Uche is not in a backwater league. Paulinho is still the corner stone of Brazil's brilliant world cup qualifying campaign...from the Chinese League!!! So much for the Chinese league being on par with the Championship 1 Like |
