It's not for free.

Actually, NFF has an agreement with Roma for Roma to hype the SE. What Roma is getting in exchange I don't know, perhaps NFF is giving them some of our taxpayer's money.

or... here me out here. Roma is doing it to get Nigerian Fans

I'm not saying that MOSES SIMON has done badly but only picking up the flaws that should have made him world class by now and its the same observation with CHUKWUEZE.

I mean, The percentage contribution in the final third as Strikers.

Look, If these guys are like MANE And SALLAH for LIVERPOOL, No Team would have compare to NIGERIA in Africa by now.

I do not hate on Players like you are assuming but just making my opinion known analytically without any element of bias.

Well, I'm SORRY about mentioning JJ OKOCHA in relation to the comment about IWOBI but clearly, his continued first team appearance in the SE is because of the lack of a better competitor though

Else ARSENAL wouldn't have allowed him go like that.

I believe things would change pretty soon going by the discovery of JOE ARIBO already as he was all over the place yesterday.

Once again, I'm sorry for mentioning his Uncle for my intention was never meant as perceived already going by 2 comments about that already.

Aribo is a natural cm/b2b midfielder whose best attributes are driving the ball forward, ball retention and making himself available in the opponents 18 yard box to score.

He can play from the no 10 position but I will prefer any of Iwobi, ejaria or Eze in that role.

Aribo is a Yaya toure, sedou keita and Steven Gerard kind of player

Yep. I guess some people will always want to take shots at Iwobi without being reasonable with their criticisms...

This article is spot on! I said exactly the same thing on Twitter right after Brazil vs Nigeria friendly game.

At the end of the day, I see the Super Eagles trio as: Ndidi, Etebo, and Aribo. Unless Iwobi massively improves, he will have to start on the bench going forward.


O pari

MetalJigsaw:
IWOBI MUST LEARN FROM ARIBO
opera.com


Alex Iwobi has spent 4 years with the Super Eagles and it’s difficult to identify his best roles in the team.

It’s even more complicated for him with the retirement of John Obi Mikel, he has to assume the role of a creative number 10.
Iwobi made no impact at the World Cup last year as the coach gave him little time at the tournament.

The insurgence of Joe Aribo will now be a big worry for Iwobi as he offers more to the team and could be the pick when the chips are down.
After watching Nigeria vs Benin game, I carefully studied the roles of both players, their weaknesses, strengths and what they will bring to the team..

For better analyses, see below the truths;

POSITION/ROLES

From his first game for Nigeria against Ukraine, the world knew the perfect role for Aribo. A box to box midfielder who loves to burst forward to create and score goals. For Iwobi, he started his rise under Wenger playing as a winger and Rohr adopted that role for him. (When the confusion started)

But since Mikel was inconsistent with the team during the last year of his international career, he was drafted to the middle and that started the position problems for him.

At Rangers under Steven Gerrard, Aribo flourishes as an all-round midfielder and against Benin, he showed and played the role well having 2 shots on target.

Iwobi tried to create chances but his final balls are still his major problem and the only tangible thing he did against Benin was the 1-2 that led to the penalty which Osinhem calmly converted.

It’s now a big headache to identify the position that suits Iwobi as he plays two different roles for club and country. And for Aribo, it’s just like a puzzle as he fits well with the same role for club and country.

GOALS

At Arsenal, Iwobi struggled to get goals as he scored just 15 goals in 149 appearances. A record that led to his sale from Arsenal to Everton.

From his days at Charlton Athletic, Aribo raked up 11 goals in 84 and in just 10 games into the season at Rangers, he has scored a goal. A better goal record to Iwobi.

In 3 appearances for Super Eagles, Aribo has scored 2 goals and against Benin, he had more shots on target than Iwobi.

Managers love midfielders that add goals to their team and despite arriving camp late, Aribo played all 90 minutes.

For Iwobi, it’s now a must he improves his game as there is a better option in the middle of the park if Etebo comes back into the team.

STYLE

With his nickname, English Yaya Toure, you will know you will get the drive and goals. That’s what Aribo brings to the team.
He covered more grounds than any other player on the pitch against Benin and for Iwobi, he contributed nothing special to the team.

With the midfield crowded, Ndidi and Etebo seems like the two players with automatic shirts and Iwobi and Aribo now have to fight for the remaining slot.

Aribo looks ahead of Iwobi in the team and Iwobi must learn from Aribo if he wants to be a dynamic midfilder.

Thanks for your words of understanding.

I did saw it and I applaud you for it but I don't particularly downgrade, instead, Only make reference to others' attributes that should have make them better over the ones being referenced just like you did admitted on your response to him.

Kudos Bro.

Theirs is even better. Shebi na away in Ghana?

Same Fate await NIGERIA come Sunday because na away too.

But it could be otherwise though if sponsors are available because the one yesterday to me seems like it was as a result of an imromptu decision at the last minute.

Besides, Hardly do Nigerians watch away Qualifiers before ooo because of lack of sponsors and this is talking from experience.

The prospect of this Nigerian team is quite scary. Many here are impatient but do not realise that these boys are still young.
The combo of Osimhen, Chuks, Kalu and Iwobi upfront is still relatively inexperienced but yet already deadly. The likes of Sallah didn't reach their level in just two or three seasons.

Afcon 2021 and WC 2022 should be very prospective for the SE. We have the quality to be better than every African team by these periods.

The only worry is the recent mismanagement of our youth teams and development. The likes of Chuks and Osimhen benefited from successful youth campaigns. They are proof that Nigeria has the football gene inherent in us and if we take the youth teams seriously we will keep unearthing talents.
We need to start grooming now, the boys who would take over from the chuks and Osimhens.

Ghana is a sad story. Between 2010 and 2018 they benefited from the crop of youth that won the U20 world cup. However corruption ate deep into their FA and they never got the youth development right again. Today they are experiencing football drought and bareness.
They go up against South Africa tonight and I predict a loss for them.
They are a lesson to us and an episode we must avoid.
