Pls will you stop judging the guy by his previous world cup performances that's about 3years ago mehn, spare the guy some slack . How many games did he even play in the world cup?, he has grown as a player. And about is dribbles, well he once had the most completed dribbles in a league season 1 Like

CityJoe:He obviously hit a purple patch but couldn't sustain the form. If a forward player scored just 3 goals and zero assists in 25 games, he obviously flopped and deserves to loose his place in the team. Alluding that he lost his place in the team because he's Nigerian is beyond absurd. Some defensive midfielders contribute more than 3 goals and zero assists in a season. |

whizola:you are missing the point. Victor Moses is good at dribbling, it is conspicuous and no one is trying to gainsay that. The point is that how many of those dribbles led to goals and chances created? at the world cup, you may meet teams with good defensive setup that will make your “excessive dribbles” not to count by not yielding any goals. Ever since he recuperated from injury, he has been unplayable in the wing back role. He recorded an assist and earn his club a penalty on Saturday and on Tuesday against A. Madrid he was a delight to watch. He created two good chances and caused the Madrid's defense problems. He did all these playing as a wing back. And I believe that with the freedom he enjoys when playing for the SE, he will put up better performances when going forward as a wing back. And also allowing Mikel-Iwobi-Iheanacho attacking combination to go uninterrupted. 6 Likes |

Icon4s:Nice list though but I don't think just a single DM is a good idea. Even Rohr has never and will never go that way. two DMs and an attacking midfielder in a 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1, or 4-3-3 is the most esseintial content and element of thebmoderb day football midfield. 1 Like 1 Share |

forgiveness: In my own humble assessment, we shouldn't take more than a maximum of 8 defenders as one our midfielders can comfortably play as a centre-back (Ndidi). Considering all the names we have, I would say baring injuries or loss of form, the names Forgiveness has put forward are almost sure-bets. Echiejile is I believe the only true LB, the others are kind of jack of all trades, versatile players. I would also pick Omeruo ahead of Agbo because he showed us against Argentina that he hasn't actually lost it and if we play like we did against the Argies, we would need a reliable back up for the three CBs. Unhappy as I am typing this, I think one of Shehu, Ebuhei, Aina or Idowu would have to be dropped. I would be shocked if it's Shehu so the axe is in Rohr's hand and he can swing it as he deems fit. My list of 8 defenders would be Ekong Leon Awaziem Shehu Echejile Omeruo Ebuhei Idowu/Aina I will say we need to see more of Idowu before we can actually say he's the best since sliced bread. Judging by Aina's first game, he wowed us all and then in the 2nd and 3rd we started seeing his weaknesses. Who knows what will happen to Tyronne and Idowu in their next games too. 4 Likes 1 Share |

goldfish80: Childish jibe. I have repeated my point over and over again. Kelechi Iheanacho is one of the most lethal finishers around. What Mbappe and co. have ahead of him is more all round play. It took me time to decode it, I am willing to learn. Now I get it. I keep studying Gabriel Jesus to understand what Guardiola wants. As for the finishing, I rate Iheanacho ahead of them but I want Nacho to work hard to add more to his game. 1 Like |

whizola: I doubt anyone is arguing about Victor Moses ability. There is no debate in that. He is one of the gifted players in the game today. However, the criticism lies in his level of discipline when he dorns the green white green jersey of the Super Eagles. |
