Players like Chidera and Aroko are top quality players that needs technical coaches to thrive. I loved the technique Boy used in converting his goal.
Ejuke is far better an option for me compare to iwobi, if a coach know what is doing. We mostly deploy ejuke as a wing player in super eagle.
Ejuke better be deploy as false striker or pair another player at the center. You need a player who can dribble at least two players at the middle in these style of football.
If we can successfully allow chukwueze and ejuke be converted to this role, our midl field would have been better. Till now all I still see are deffensive midfielders in every of those players that we are a parading as midfielders.
