Starboytwo:
its not that they cant cross proficiently, more like we dont do lotta crossings.... Chuks is like robben, kalu(remember his brilliance againt ukraine) ejuke also like a right footed robben, we need and have got in osihmen, a fast and deadly striker and that is our style... Onuachu is just another Benteke scenario playing out...

Subzero047:


If Akpoguma is our best defender in camp imagine when Uduokhai and Torunarigha will come in

junnyjake:
I has a second look at the formation I dropped earlier and I didn't like what I see, so, here's a do-over.

Karlovich:
quality players have been added to the SE, they can match a few top teams including England

Icon4s:


Bros, individually and collectively as a team, we cannot measure up with that England team.

smartsmith0907:


What's so special about them. Oya remove Kane and sterling who else shey nah lingard
They might be better than us individually but when it comes to team sprit I mean super eagles have an huge advantage over them

komekn:


Effectively you are saying that Chukwueze and Kalu cannot cross balls proficiently.

Do you think thats acceptable for a modern day footballer in today's expectations in football.

komekn:


Then what on earth was Onuachu invited to the team for to cheer lead.

That's just poor, poor recruitment and decision making.

IMO opinion Algeria are technically superior to us. However, we may have the advantage in terms of athleticism ( pace and strength) without any quality strikers and limitations in our midfield.

We may struggle to control the game and dominate possession in comparison to Algeria.

That means having a target man like Onuachu gives us options because Mahrez, Benrhama and others will run circles around us.

So we dispens with trying to dominate the midfield and use the speed of counter attacks and and good hold up play. Something Onuachu can do very well.

KC has zero hold up play and has no physical presence to trouble any decent defence.

Our attack without Ighalo and Osimhen is in need of an overdose of viagra it's very impotent.

komekn:


Osimhen is not in the team so that comment is irrelevant.

It's shocking but outside Ighalo and Osimhen we are impotent.

Danielnino00:


Which Ighalo?

kellycute:
I tired ooo. Which ighalo he dey yarn upata for? Ighalo wey manure wan flush out of the team like shit wey stuck for toilet.

Philosopher1979:


1. Foitball Academies
2. Private investors league starting in november
3. Nff/futures under15 and various youth competitions

Will keep producing players.
Also the new sports minister (Sunday dare) is determined ti improve our local league and football. All rhesw thungs are working. In fact i can assure you that right niw foreugn born players will fi d it difficult in the striker and wingers pisition. Nentake Dembele (an academy player) is the next big thing in our football.
Its just the local league that needs improvement and it will be done.
Barcelina has a football league in Nigeria and it is pioneered by a Nigerian in partnership wirh Barcelona. The foreign born thing is just a passing phase.
Ordunary olakunle olusegun and Samson Tijani if the u17 are on the way to big things. There is a silent revolution going on. Have you heard if Vandrezzer which is a local club run like a private league.
The silent revolution will stop thus trend. The problem is foreign born fans are making too much noise.

Danielnino00:


Abeg,we don't want a "cross and inshAllah" style of play tomorrow...
We want fluid,easy flowing attacking football..
Dessers or Iheanacho should start... If Onuachu is going to be waiting for wingers to deliver crosses before he can score,then it won't be good for us..
He can come in the second half..

MetalJigsaw:
Who told you that Onuachu depends on crosses? most of his goals are through his feet!

Starboytwo:
wow, all these are going on? Wow, i pray it works, i pray... The abundance of talent was never in doubt. We just need good LEADERSHIP... Abeg nentake dembele? How come? For a start thats not a nigerian name? Who him be? The name look like person wey go sabi play...

Wow

komekn:


Aa well as Iorfa and Adarabioyo

Danielnino00:


He is just finding a way to say "Iheanacho shouldn't start tomorrow"

Philosopher1979:


He was discovered by gbs football academy in Jos this year and European clubs are after him. He at least grew up in Nigeria. He might be Nigerian anyway

Subzero047:


How are Norway playing, they are my second team

Icon79:
Well, they lost 1-2 in extra time against Serbia. I wasn’t even aware that Lars Lagerback is now coaching Norway.


O pari

Starboytwo:
i will not lie. What komekn said is the pure truth, to me, in this list we dont have any striker.... Only osihmen be the striker weve got, i dont subscribe to ighalop abeg. Ok, check, Onuachu is just another Benteke scenario, atleast going by this thread alone, we dont want him, fine form but wrong style...

As for iheanacho, i dont see him bringing anything spetacular,still gonna be same ol player who most time underperfum... I dont rate him as a striker, and his performance and stats over 2 or 3 years now is too poor to still be earning call ups...


Dessers. That 1? ok... Just know unwanted onuachu is benching him,1. Reports here said he hasnt scored a single goal in training...

When i said i have no prefered line up, make everybody sha play, i know wetin i dey talk...

smartsmith0907:


I am scared I see rohr playing a kind of mourihno/simeone style tomorrow I really miss the likes of Osihmen,Ndidi even ehzibue
I'm expecting a draw or an early goal which might end 1-0 in our favor
Let's see how tomorrow go be sha.

Starboytwo:
which wing the guy they play, and i hope na really small boy sha...nantako dembele, the name resemble dem mali, guinea kinda name...

smartsmith0907:
Likely line up for tomorrow

Okoye

Zaidu. Apkoguma. Ekong. Ebuehi

Ajayi. Onyeka

Kalu. Iwobi. Chuks

Desser

Icon79:
I heard that Algeria is missing one of their star players tho (I forgot his name), but we’re missing way too many of our star performers, Ndidi and Osihmen in particular are irreplaceable but don’t forget the goalkeeper. And we gonna miss Etebo’s high work rate plus Aribo’s creativity.

We are drifting towards a period when all Nigerian starting 11 would be foreign born.

The NFF really needs to step up and boost football development at the local level.
