IDENNAA:
At Danielnino, no good football reader would ever say Shehu is not much different from Awaziem.

Comparing Shehu and Awaziem is comparing light and darkness. You dey para

U have misunderstood me..
Tell me what Awazeim has been doing in the RB role that Shehu didn't do when he started playing the role ?

This isn't light and darkness issue at all..they are both makeshift right backs..they should make way for natural right backs while they play their normal position...

Barca are not stupid to this extent , Arthur melo, alena and todibo ke, setien was angry he could not meet alena and todibo

And i dont want this martinez, he is good but i think he is a little bit overrated, maybe because he plays along side messi in the national team

The best young striker barca can get is Timo Werner,his fee is not more than 60million euros and he is better than martinez but yet inter wanna sell martinez for 120

Make barca board better get sense

Guy, u see this one wey u talk I gast reply you. Please Wetin make Werner better pass Martinez?

Bros, we don see many over the years but las-las undecided

Good that we have invited Cyril Dessers. But I just hope he will not go the way of likes of Akpala, Ujah, Simi, Nwakaeme, Onuachu etc.

We need a striker that can give Osimhen a run for his money in the National team. Whether Dessers is that player, the ball is in his court.

OK then, we can only wait and see what happens.

Timo Werner is better than Martinez ,Martinez cannot even average 1 goals every 2 games and you are here saying something else

Go to that same google and see Werner stats

Why won’t they buy Martinez when he is argentine and he plays with Messi ?

Please tell me what is special about 17 goals in 48 games ?

Are you going to compare it to 71 games in 117 games ?

Thank you

Until we get a natural right back who can play better in that role we will continue to use make-shift right backs. This is not an issue of they making way for any natural right back player.

They are in a "rebuilding process".
Plus they have not been doing well at age grade competitions for the last 8+ yrs. They are now reaping the fruit at senior levels.

In as much as we have new entries to the RB Position, I will still prefer awaziem over all of them in the RB Position, the only defender throughout the nation's cup that no player could successfully dribble past, man is quite solid in the RB role with comparison to how he fares on the CB role.
Even during the friendly with Brazil before neymar was taken out, neymar couldn't take him out in the RB Position.
Awaziem should just hold that RB role for me.
Enough of makeshift arrangements. It distorts the balance and the dynamics of the team. Now that we have natural RB, let Awaziem slug it out for his own CB role.

The natural right back should slug it out with our regular starter in the position. Awaziem has performed too well for us to write him off just because we have a natural at the position.

Well for now yes but ultimately as the team reaches peak evolution, I'd prefer a situation where as much as possible particularly in defence players play their natural position.

Rebuilding is not limited to young players. This is a senior national team. And so even if you plan injection of new young players you still need to keep some older ones for a balance and transfer of experience.

You steady the ship first with the available players and then you start the injection of new blood.

Modern football is dynamic. These days footballers typically find 2-3 positions cormfotable to play in.
The National team is such that if you have deficiency in a position you cannot go to the transfer market to get a player for that position. And so the best bet is to convert one of your utility players to fill that role. Utility players are priceless especially in the national teams. That is why they will always make the squads even though they maybe termed "average".

On a new Natural Right Back, he first has to prove that he is better than our make-shift right backs before he can get a place in the team. Not because he is a natural RB then he has to walk straight into the team.

NO doubt modern football is dynamic but all I'm advocating for is that players like Awaziem (he's done well in the RB) should play in the position where he is most suited which I believe is CB if the natural RB comes good.

No matter how dynamic, players have positions they are most suited for.

The less makeshift arrangements we have the more balance there'd be in the team.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 10:43am On Mar 06, 2020
Awaziem is more solid defensively but Ehizibue will give you more as a right back going forward. He is also comfortable as a right winger. His pace helps him get up and down quickly.

It depends on what we want. If we are under pressure, Awaziem might do better there. Ehizibue can even play infront of him to tighten the right wing.

I also prefer players in their natural positions. I.e The positions they play weekly at club level. They wouldn't have to make major adjustments from their weekly routine.

Talking about players' best positions. Player A's best position can be Position 1 and his second best position can be Position 2. Meanwhile Player B's best position is position 2 but Player A is still better than player B in position 2. Then let player A play position 2 except if player B proves he is better in that position. Simple.

This is the ideal situation. But the truth is that these days there is hardly any national team that is adequate in all positions. This is why utility players always make squads because they are used in make-shift positions.

Well for me it could be either hit or miss. Let's not forget that Martial didn't do so well when Zlatan took his number.

That said I feel Ighalo must start against City. Otamendi and whoever will not want any parts of him. I would play Mata on the right and James on the left.

Also my prayer request from now will include Paul Pogba. That guy will be immense for Ighalo. He spots those runs easily and we all know the quality of his passes
