Awoniyi will only make the team if Ighalo sustains an injury. What we have now is a highly Rihrified Super Eagles where psst glory in the team matters more than resent form. I just hope NFF will do the right thing and show this man the way out of the team.
Afcon would be a list of 26 players, hence Awoniyi vs Moffi could pick the other available Striker slot..
It’s time to giver Dessers an opportunity…… Moffi has had more opportunities than Dessers ever did..
Who’s MOFFI and how many goals has he scored this season?
Truth is most of you here are not different from the clueless ROHR
Current form means nothing to you. Imagine you considering AWONIYI only in an EXPANDED 28 man’s list and to rub it in, you are bringing MOFFI in the conversation with AWONIYI.
Based on current form, he is NIGERIA’S no 2 granted we all agree OSIMHEN is no 1
And to shock you, CYRIL DESSERS has scored more goals than MOFFI this season
Its only in NIGERIA that a regular starter for a bundesliga clubside will be on the bench whilst a TURKISH based player will start. Am referring to AWAZIEM starting ahead of AKPOGUNA in a 3 man central defence.
On current form and league pedigree, AKPOGUNA should be starting ahead of BALOGUN, EKONG and AWAZIEM
Good performance by Akpos against Leipzig.
Interpreted the right wing back role almost perfectly.
Rock solid defensively, enterprising going forward.
