can somebody explain to me what Onaichu is doing on that list
would have evwn prefer we call up kayode or nwakaeme or even use that spot for a defender

with that midfield set up think it won't be difficult for players like Eze and Ejaria to break into the super eagles

How can you guys judge a player just because of yesterday game ?

Oga leave bonaventure alone

If na your favorite European player you no go talk this one

Apart from de Bruyne Messi mane di Maria and few others how many of the best European players aren’t selfish ?

Or is it mbappe that doesn’t pass to cavani or Neymar ?

Abeg leave Dennis alone

Mane is selfish too..
In fact, it was Mane that started the selfishness competition between himself and Salah... Salah just took it further...

you get time sef.

the primary job of a striker is to score goals, not play for the team. Everybody has their job on the pitch. A 9 scores goals, not assist. The midfeilders are the one's whose job is to assist. that Bobby relinquishes that part of his job doesn't make him a role model for strikers.

Heck, you won't see any striker aspiring to be like Firminho, because he doesn't do his job. How can wingers be persistently outscoring you and you're claiming to be a striker....

Firmino does his job very well. His job is to play the false 9 role..
At Hoffeinheim, he played as an attacking midfielder, winger and striker, so you can say he is versatile... Even when he first joined Liverpool, he played from the flanks too... But for now, he is a false9 and is doing his job perfectly well.

Mane has just dropped the attitude this season..

2 seasons ago, it was terrible... I think he got jealous of Salah taking his spot on the RW and his status as the team's most important player...

But he has been better this season... Dennis is still young . He will learn .. it's normal for him to want some glory for himself....

Premise of the argument >> "The Nigerian squad is scary"


My argument >>
1. The Nigerian squad is average at best. All the players the dude listed above play at mid level to back water teams. We have no single player in a top team. We have no single world class player. We have no goal keeper.

2. In the history, all AFCON and world cup semi-finalists all had an outstanding player that carried the team through.

Two brief examples;

In 2012, Zambia (the least prestigious team to win a recent AFCON) won because of the genius of goal keeper Mweene who saved countless penalties and stopped shots.

Nigeria in 2019 could not progress beyond the semi finals because they had no goal keeper and no outstanding /world class player. Mahrez carried Algeria through

3. Analysing the Nigerian team:

The defenders play for mid to low level teams. They choked against Madagascar. Ekong scored an own goal against Algeria and recently against Lesotho?

Ndidi is good at tackles but is limited when it comes to play making. The attacking mid fielders listed are either under - performing or playing for back water clubs e.g Iwobi, Aribo, Eze

The attack is quite good. However against top teams with top defenders they get found out.


Conclusion:

1. I do not undermine our team. We have very good prospects for the near future.

2. But at the moment, contrary to what the poster would have us think (by listing the squad and tagging them scary), we are still but a very average team.

3. To become world beaters and continent shakers our players need to go up one more gear and play for top teams. We need an average of 2 to 3 world class players. Even one world class player will do.

4. Ndidi is not a world class players (If you want to argue be ready to come at me with stats. Trust me I have sufficient stats to prove)
At best Ndidi is above average.

5. The team needs an average projected period of 3 or 5 more years to become 'scary'.

6. Apologies if I deflated anyone's ego or excitement at the team. I simply stated the fact.

your No. 4 conclusion reeks of dung sir. You don't rate among the best 5 DMs in Europe (by better mouthpieces) for one grunt on Nairaland to come making bold statements.

That said, What superstar was in the Costa Rican team that reach the QF in 2014 WC? Ogbeni this isn't pes
