Kog45:It was BascoVanVeli that put it well: to play striker now for nigeria is to suffer. Put Rashidi in this team(without Mikel) he would flop, put Aiyegbeni he will flop, put Aghahowa he would flop, put C. Ronaldo, Suarez of Barca they will flop. Our attackers might not be sharp but how can we blame them when the midfield is knock out? Car without engine. Go move am and see if you will not suffer. It doesn't matter whether the car is a benz or hummer or ford, or Lamborghini or whether it's a jalopy or rickshaw, once there's no engine, you are on your own. That's how bad we look without Mikel and like edi said it's terribly bad. 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: This is not true.. Did you see the kinds of runs Yekini made? You do not need a great midfield wizard to find him.. Yekini did not always have a great midfield. Friday Ekpo and Oliha were more of the hardworking types. Our forward line right now is fairly static and does not offer those options. How many times do you see runs behind the defence? Look at cristiano's first goal against Juve, did you see his run to the near post.. The movement is lacking. It is those little things that create opportunities. Put better movement and the midfield does not have to be great as the striker is giving them a plethora of options. |

edi287: We are not just talking of hold up play, we are talking about an extra striker that would add something different to the team this current team doesn't possess...Umar has that unpredictability and dynamism about him...Ideye doesn't have this..in fact ideye and Ighalo have similar skill set except Ighalo is more skillful than him..Umar is a totally diff guy with his style of play.. |

Kog45: Forgiveness would love you for your last paragraph sir....please don't check Umars record sir, watch his games, I know professionally he hasn't played too many games but there is something unique about his style...we are just saying the coach should try him not necessarily carry him to the world cup...at least the coach can map in his head of another way to go about games.. I doubt Ideye has anything to offer this team someone else on the team is not already doing.. |

tbaba1234:Sir i disagree,I watched Yekini from 1983 till he left eagles in 1998 and using Ekpo and Oliha to butress your point on Yekini not acceptable to me. Rashidi Yekini at 1984 Afcon had Muda Lawal,Ademola Adeshina and Henry Nwosu with Humphrey Edobor doing it for him. In the mid 80s Samson Siasia came into the scene and contributed a lot to Yekini goal prowess with Ademola Adeshina and Henry Nwosu in the midfield with assistance from Folorunsho Okenla,Wole Odegbami,Sam Okwaraji,Bunmi Adigun,Augustine Igbinabaro especially during qualifier for Seoul 88 and Maroc 88 and proper tournament. In the 90s when Yekini had glorious career,players like Daniel Amokachie, Finidi George,Emma Amuneke,Austin Okocha and Sunday Oliseh contributed immensely to Yekini rise. Rashidi Yekini had the best of midfielders in the 80s and 90s even Ekpo and Oliha are not mediocre as you portrayed it,pls try and watch Ekpo against Senegal at Senegal 92. Truly Yekini was a very prolific goalscorer who has the witt and power to outpace any defenders and very good in converting half chances and Ighalo goal against Cameroon remind me of great Yekini. Sir the solutions is given Ebere Eze,Ajagun,Kelechi Nwakili, Alhassan Muzzam chance to slug it out and complement Mikel in the team instead of all theses DMs we are carrying about,except this is done our strikers we continue to struggle. |

Kog45: I did not label Ekpo and Oliha as 'mediocre' . They were more of the hardworking type of midfielders not creators per se. We still got goals in spite of that. That does not make them mediocre. Thankfully, you acknowledged his ability to convert half chances to goals. It is something we lack in our team. A prime and on form Yekini will still score in this team because his movement was good, created spaces for himself and could run with the ball if he needed to. Yes, we need creative players or we need to learn to play to the strengths of our current attackers. We do not cross the ball enough from the wings. |
