Kog45:My impression of Joel is that he too rough. As for Agu I don't think he has underperformed as such. At least you see him but Etebo disappears. When he appears his play is wooly. I feel Rohr is confused on how to use him. Echiejile has not underperformed. We are only asking for me but he cannot give us that 'more' cos dust is gathering on his legs. Akpeyi is the prisoners. Poisons the team and the fans with fear. 5 Likes |

Martz101:Yes Rohr trust him and am seeing him making the 23 man list but so far he has not really imposed himself. I think his pedigree is going for him among fans not his performance. I want Joel that would complement Mikel in the middle and Ndidi doing it with them but so far he hasn't,may be with Mikel in the team we see better Joel tomorrow. |

Mujtahida: what you said is contradicting because if an iwobi can play right and drift to the center and can easily drift from center to the right too, why then do you have a problem with him playing right or center when you know at some point in the match he will drift to the other side |

Because sometimes we would really need to exploit from the wings because of a weakness in the opposition. Iwobi doesn’t give u that option in terms of crosses. You want unpredictable forwards — one who can cross as well. As an opponent trying to stop Iwobi, i’d expect him to pass the ball or cut in almost all the time. Martz101: |

andrew444: never i don't want to use older matches because from your world you said onazi is not the Onazi of 2014, during the worldcup qualifier he was one of the top performer, against Cameroon he had one of his best games with super eagles. infact when he was substituted for Agu against zambia our midfield crumbled. remember you said onazi can not give accurate pass this days hence I'm pressing on the congo match because is our last match...abi which days are you talking about?? |

I really can't get it, why Iwobi can't start from the Bench?! Is he more effective on the Wing than Ahmed Musa/Simon Moses or what?! We all have agreed Mikel is the most creative Player in the Team, follow by Iwobi; then why putting our finest Eggs in the same Basket?! We should know tactically it's gonna be a disaster in waiting, coz we all saw what happened to Liverpool after Salah's Injury. Had Liverpool got another talented Winger on the Bench, perhaps they would have won the Match. Zizou didn't start Bale for tactical Reason, but it paid off in the End. He came in so fresh and bagged a Brace which won the Club the 3rd UCL Trophy in a Row. I won't stop saying it, both Iwobi and Iheanacho are better off playing from Bench than starting a Match. They would be more effective coming from the Bench tactically. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Look at the specifics and address the two questions to qualify your answer, otherwise your making assumption based on nothingness your personal presumption based on what ![]() For instance I have probably been to every EPL academy at one time or the other and at least 70% of Championship academies. As well as qute a lot of League 1,2 and even non league youth academies. So I'm speaking from firsthand observation. Not hearsay. Add to that a good number of European football academies. I have friends and associates who coach in European football even in the backwaters of Norway. The term "innit boys" is in direct reference to boys in England of Nigerian origin let's be clear please. |

Martz101:That's the rub. It's not in the least contradictory. When you are positioned to play centrally with liberty to drift to the flanks it's not the same thing as being deployed on the wings with liberty to move into the center. They are different but not contradictory. I can slap from left to right does not contradict slap from right to left. Gerrit? Yet one of those slaps will be more effective than the other depending on the ability of the slapper. |

eterisan: The world cup is not for prospect, rather it is for the best players in each country to showcases who has the best team and players in the world hence the reason prospect players are inconsequential to this discus. Thanks Besides, when Sone was a prospect nominated for awards, how many chances was he given? When he was nominated for the best player in the Championship or whatever, was he consider for a mere friendly? Food for thought. 1 Like |
