Icon4s: We do not conclusively yet because Aina best RB in the championship has not been allowed to play his natural RB position so that a direct comparison can be made to Shehu. |

Simple. Argentina will build from the back. Ball-playing defenders is part of their game. A player like Ighalo can not bully defenders who can hold and pass the ball. Bullying comes from when strikers and players are fighting for balls. Not when the opposition is building play. In that respect, the striker best as pressing, is the best solution. Watch how useless Lukaku was against Liverpool. Our best bet is to start Iheanacho who is best at pressing. Finito. |

jihday: He is not alone I thought for debutant he had a fairly good game, looked dangerous, his positional play and reading of the game very good. And don't forget they were not playing against Azerbaijan but Germany ranked number 1 in the world with England ranked 12. |

komekn: You have not watched Nwakaeme to judge. Watch him on a better pitch before judging. That pitch was so bad to string simple passes. So very poor condition to judge his quality. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by komekn(m): 11:32pm On Nov 12, 2017 |
Icon4s: That's because Aina has not been allowed to compete directly with him in his more favoured and natural RB position. I wonder how well Shehu would do at LB. |

Opponent watch CRISTIAN PAVON Age: 21 Nationality: Argentinian Club: Boca Juniors Position: Winger/forward Cristian Pavon burst onto the scene with a string of impressive displays for Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores last summer. He then became a regular member of the first team on the back of those performances, and is now considered one of the most important players at the club. The fleet-footed forward possesses a fearless mentality and plenty of technical skills. Although he’s usually deployed on the right wing, he tends to drift into central positions behind Boca's two strikers; from there, Pavon's a real menace to opponents with his direct running and powerful shots from distance, while he's also demonstrated intelligent movement and a useful knack for arriving in the penalty box at just the right moment. Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool have been linked with a move for the exciting forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R--dAgjgrUI |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 11:39pm On Nov 12, 2017 |
Cristian Pavon's style of play is similar to Alexis Sanchez except that Pavon is a deadlier shooter. Definitely one our defenders should watch. |

lexyman: You consider Chinese league not competitive, 5 players from the Chinese league are in the Brazilian squad. Striker Tardelli, Paulinho, Hulk, to name a few could be more. The league is good enough for the team selection of Brazil arguably the best team in the world this decade but not good enough for Nigeria. Yet some have written off Obagoal for players who have not achieved and may never achieve one tenth of what he has achieved in football. |

DARIO BENEDETTO Age: 27 Nationality: Argentinian Club: Boca Juniors Position: Striker Benedetto is a centre-forward, very quick, who can also play as a support striker. He could be adapted to other forward roles too, but principally he is a centre-forward. Benedetto was named the best player of the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League, and also won the Golden Boot with teammate Oribe Peralta, scoring seven goals in three matches; four in the 6–0 win over Herediano in the second leg of the semi-finals, and a hat-trick in the 5–3 aggregate victory over Montreal Impact in the Finals. Benedetto left to Boca Juniors from America. On 25 September, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 win against Quilmes at La Bombonera. Although resisted at first, Benedetto was the MVP that lead Boca Juniors to is 32nd national title. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM8chv0OtUM |

OMANBALA1: Shehu is good but essentially he has nobody competing with him. Or I could say nobody has been allowed to compete with him. Is he better than Aina we do not know. It's q false sense of quality. What if Aina is better We need competition increase our quality not reduce it. 1 Like |

komekn: Rohr knows these players better than we do. He sees them in training and knows what each can offer. There are some decisions he may not have to wait to see from a match day game before making them. He had both Shehu and Aina in camp and yet kept faith with Shehu. Shehu seems to have cemented that spot. It is not likely that Aina would displace him. Aina would compete with Echiejile instead. Did you notice Shehu's displays against Algeria sef? That guy is improving with each passing game. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by komekn(m): 12:09am On Nov 13, 2017 |
komekn: Mujtahida: Shehu is a top performer in his league and arguably the top performing outstanding player in his club. Irrespective of how low his league is. If I'm right he was given the captains arm band in a a Cypriot team us no mean feat for an African. Aina is the the number one RB in the championship a Chelsea player on loan. Winning MOTM awards and the stand out player even in Hull. What is Ebuehi In the Eredivisie is the stand out RB or the stand out anything what awards what recognitions, etc |

komekn:I agree. And it makes it all the more surprising considering the little or no effort Ighalo puts into pressing. The defenders are not going to cower by the mere sight of you, you have to be imposing. What good is having all the physique when you can't use it to bully defenders? Players like Costa make defenders shiver because they are always breathing down their neck. Iheanacho edges him by his mere willingness to try. Ighalo might be more effective if he makes an effort, but until he does, I will not rate him ahead of KC in that regard 2 Likes 1 Share |

Icon4s: That for a manager is not being tactically astute. God forbid what if Shehu gets injured or suspended etc But the real test is to know how good a player is to test him against another player in the same circumstances. Manager show preference it's not necessarily conclusive our outright objectivity it's preference. In Everton Phil Nevill was arguably the least player in the team with regard to ability. But the first on the team sheet much to the indignation of Yobo Plenarr, Anichebe, etc. Training games are not totally conclusive you need a full match possibly a couple of games to to be conclusive about a player. I know players who are not great in training but complete terrors on the pitch in a match. So I dont agree with that approach. Given the same opportunity how do you know Aina will not improve more. You simply do not because the opportunity is denied. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by komekn(m): 12:25am On Nov 13, 2017 |
SerVik: It was the pressing of Ighalo in the game against Cameroon that set the tone for that win in my opinion. Those Cameroon defenders were bullied into making mistakes and made to be disorientated by Ighalo. KC can not do that. He can even win the aerial battles he simply not that the of player. Closing down the spaces limiting the passing options for defenders playing from the back yes. But pressing with impact no for me. My first choice STRIKER is for now IGHALO 3 Likes |

komekn:I disagree that Ighalo's pressing won us the Cameroon game. The highlight of his game was his link-up, his hold-up, his drifting runs. He did little pressing and it was even more evident in the 2nd leg. I however agree that Ighalo should retain the CF role. |
