Simon Moses’ ability is not in doubt. He’s got fantastic footwork, quick feet and decent shooting power. If only he can improve on his decision making and deliveries in the final third and avoid unnecessary ball holding, his impact in the game will be massive.
In the national team, there are quite a number of options on the wings with the likes of Chukwueze, Aribo, Iwuala Anayo, Ejuke and perhaps Watford’s forward Dennis. It’s the desire of soccer fans that the wingers are able to provide as much support for goals for the front men.
Well said Brotherman. You are one of the few people who make me talk about Nigeria’s football these days. Moses Simon is the best winger. I and I believe in his talent.
Heaven bless Moses Simon and all deserving Super Eagles players.
