I DON’T KNOW WHY SADIQ UMAR, AWONIYI, IHEANACHO, ONUACHU ARE STILL BE INVITED TO SUPER EAGLE TEAM.
### THE QUALITY, POTENTIAL & PERFORMANCE OF AKPOM, GIFT-ORBAN, DESSERS ( in both club league and UEFA league) ARE FAR FAR BETTER THAN ONUACHU, IHEANACHO, SADIQ-UMAR, AWONIYI .
*** THERE MUST BE A REWARD OF INVITATION FOR PLAYERS THAT ARE CREDIBLY PERFORMING WELL AT THE MOMENT***
On current form Dessers,Osimhen,Arokodare,Umar,Lookman,Chukwueze,Simon,Tella should make the final 23 man forward Lists for our next international engagements…
If we prefer doing politics by including Musa forced by the NFF on the new coach then we should be prepared to watch the world Cup from home..My take..
No be by form for club side Oga .. ask yourself this are they super eagles material?
The only super eagles material I see there is osimhen, lookman and maybe simon…
Even if the coach insists on Musa, I can’t blame him that much, because one leg Musa is better than Iheanacho, Umar, awoniyi and unuachu.
In the history of supereagles I have never seen neither of our coaches or FA wasted time on these useless type of strikers like Umar, awoniyi, and Paul unuachu, Iheanacho and Musa can count on their past heroic performances but those three chickens have no business with the eagles, they are not close to ideye, or even erenamo of keshi era, na wao. Their native doctors nor get shame. Some times it’s good to be a real man, maduka rejected call up at a time he knew he wasn’t good enough, maja also did thesame, but our indigenous morons go tell you say nah grace.
The second most dangerous striker we have at the moment is gift orban,, dessers and tolu as follow, you must look at the characters of players in terms of Dogedity and bravery. Orban carry him self like an already made striker, so full of confidence.
In a 442 formation I will play lookman osihmen orban and chukueze in my front line, Iwobi and frank in the middle, Bruno bassey, Ndidi and aina will play my back line, that’s a complete squad without no weak link
Your lineup is too attack biased.
A team should have a balance to be effective.Having too many numbers in one department could affect the chemistry of a team.
A three man midfield and three attackers with lookman playing closer to Osimhen will give us the balance to play at an optimum..
Greanturf You are right but at this stage of our qualification games to the world Cup, defensive game plan will not do us any good, because we need to win games with good numbers, and our defense line need to have ball playing ability to retain possession and dominate games, there was a time when zakora of ivory Coast(a DM) have to pair kolo tore in their defensive line to control games from behind, I think ndidi will do better pairing basey in that four man line, afterall all the previous games we played despite been defensive couldn’t get any result, Iwobi and frank are used to each other in a two man line, frank is a tank, and Iwobi can stay deep with him, chukueze has improved and have learnt how to operate in the middle of the field likewise lookman. However the coming games doesn’t have orban I will use Simon in lookman position and push lookman to orban position. If the coach prefer a three man midfield he could play bashiru or papa Daniels ahead of chukueze, we need ballers in the pitch, Rafael onyedika is still not good enough and should not be introduced in these games unless in cases of injury, ndidi should not start from midfield he doesn’t have it anymore, but not bad in the defence, if we are leading with two goals, igoh can replace him or join in a three man center back. Our opponents are not very offensive, I think my defense line can handle them
Where do you then keep the team captain Ekong?
On the bench.
Ekong is not among our best diffenders at the moment, there are many diffenders ahead of him if the coaches want to be serious with their jobs,
Igo ogbu, Abel ogwuche, Vincent osuji, Felix udokhai these men are currently better than Ekong,
