Lol

A 170 million euros player is not benchable

Gbam.

Bench mbappe ke.

Unless he gets a long term injury (1yr or more) and his replacement competes for a FIFA award.

Meliforme:
We tell them a player is class, they suppose it to be overhype.

Iwobi is average or above average (at best).

Look at his stats. They tell the story

chrisooblog:
I agree with you samuel has to play at least 2 full seasons with consistent top performances before he moves to any top club that said the little bit I have seen of him he looks to be a special player hopefully he does enough to help move his team far from the relegation zone

I agree with you on this. Especially since our players tend to switch off when hyped

Mickael2:


Cavani cannot be benched but Mbappe can be benched? Wow

I think u got it wrong.. Cavani and Onyekuru are not playing the sane win.

Mickael2:


Which 4-4-2? For which club? Di Maria plays in a 4-3-3 formation with Mbappe-Cavani-Neymar as the forward line. When Neymar drops deep Di Maria covers that spot. Then Verrati and whoever else gets the nod completes the midfield triangle. So how exactly is Onyekuru going to bench their midfielder? And how is Onyekuru going to bench Di Maria? See eh, if you go to PSG he has to deal with Neymar and Mbappe and he definitely will not bench either of them at all

If he goes to PSG, he will be loaned out to teams like wolves or Burnley. He wouldn't smell first team football in a long time except extreme tragedy befalls one of their stars.

The dude is bang average

To you, all Nigerian players are average

price tag can go a long way to overhype a player. What many people don't know is that price tag can be deceptive. Common mbappe....wetin he dey play sef?

True, people are comparing Onyekuru to Neymar Mbappe and Cavani

Lots of drunkards in here

tbaba1234:

Yes. That's the stark reality and the earlier we get out fantasies of them being world class out of our heads, the better.

The WC was an eye opener for me. You cannot make a lion out of a gazelle. Unless they improve drastically, they remain average. Look at their stats. At least, stats won't lie

Happy New year to everyone here on this great thread. welcome to 2019. Let the punditry and analysis continue. Gracias.

Is that your fear, so you don't want your darling players to switch off. First acknowledge their finesse and see if they will commence flopping.

Mickael2:


No offence but you need to watch more PSG games. They do not play a 4-3-3 formation, just because Neymar is given the freedom to roam doesn't mean it is a 4-4-2, I am guessing you will also say that Barcelona is currently playing a 4-4-2 formation because of Messi's position on the pitch?

This is their line-up against FK Crvena Zvezda and Liverpool according to whoscored.

Lol. Mbappe benched by a nigerian in this current era? I wonder the kine eye JJ Okocha go use take look una wey una go just keep shut.


A World cup winner that has no issues with fitness, flair or goal production, to be benched by a Nigerian that is still chopping bench for his country. Pls fear God small joor.


Henry is yet to reach there.


This is no undermining of Henry, he is good to play in a very big club no doubt.

world cup winner? Lolz.... na only him dey field? Am sure if he wasn't at the WC,France will still win it.

Then why do u support the super eagles??

You get big problem ah swear...I wonder how you will feel if your talent or hardwork is being tarnished this way or called average when you know it’s otherwise... you and your gangs will just sit comfortably and begin to type trash about people’s work and talent

No one is saying world class but we have above average players.

African team of the year

Forget nationalty, if these players are foreign or innit am sure they would be praised to high heaven.. if you don’t know we have good and quality players but their undoing is chasing after money and refusing to work harder...

Lavoca:
I don't know if it is nationality that always make majority of you guys here post rubbish or you're indirectly trolling. First, it was Iheanancho >Mbappe but now it is Onyekuru to bench Mbappe

Danielnino00:


Then why do u support the super eagles??

because I support eagles mean I shld lie to myself

Deep down in u...u knw dis,but base on patriotism, u guys shy away from d truth at times and hype what is not


Even when we had good players or let me say in d last 6years..none of our players have made top first 40 ballon d'or contender,down to CAF SELECTION,aside Mikel obi making it to d.top three of recent,when last av any of our players made it to d top three,let alone of winning it

So aw do u justify d position dt our players are not average best?

If I talk my mind.. The kind attention seeking for this thread ehn.. It stinks.. Every one thinking being overly critical will make you poulpular.. Yinmu

Nigeria players are not average, truth.. Too bad to burst una bubble..

Naija has very good players.. And nigeria is my favorite to win the African nations cup..

Nigeria will win nations cup, and they would win it convincingly.. Please make pesin book mark this statement..


Make we no lie, oyekuru cannot bench any psg forward at the moment, and the best thing for chukwueze is to remain put at Villarreal for now, but as for the future, no one knows.. I bet four years ago, no one would bet that salah and mane would be the world class players the are now.. Our players are developing .. We wish them the best..

So abeg make una no dey rubbish our players..

tbaba1234:


No one is saying world class but we have above average players.

There seems to be a never ending contention about the topic of world class, top class, average, etc.

So what's above average and what is average ❓

IMO, they are very fluid terms and difficult to put a definitive parameter upon. Particularly if it is taken in and out of context.

For example Ogu may be considered as an above average player. However, take him out of Isreal where he is above average and to a more competitive league and he becomes well below average. Considering Isreali league is rated 27th in Europe.

Odion Ighalo in his last stint in the EPL had lost form quite badly. Meanwhile as soon he gets to China he becomes a Tiger.

So the matter get as he be.

The issue is context and what context you are making your comparison based deduction upon.

Very good players in the top leagues and top teams, that's not true.

But localise matters and then it becomes a different situation. Are we the best in Africa I would not say that but very good players in the African context a big resounding YES.

Above average means better than average.

At the highest level, we have above average players.

Iwobi is not an average player. Still has some rough edges but he is above average. Not world class but He is quality.

Chukwueze will not be getting the interest from top teams if he is not considered quality.

We are not a world class team but i won't label all our players average.
