Welldone Paul… You remain the best performing football-act of Nigeria decent this season in Europe. May God continue to bless your hardwork and keep you healthy. Commendable… Keep it coming!
Paul Onuachu’s spell of scoring is phenomenal by any standards. If handled strategically adequate he could deliver for the Super Eagles.
Paul Onuachu, Kelechi, Simmy and Osimhen all scoring today, are simply saying they are ready to lead the SE attack. Let Rohr pick the most in form strikers for the matches. Well done Paul.
If we need a Lanky Striker, I’ll keep on saying it that ONUACHU is not the right man for the Job in Super Eagles. If he likes he should score a hundred goals.
Sadiq Umar and Simy are there as well banging goals and this ones are far better than Sluggish Onuachu
No one can score 25goals and still counting by luck. Onuachu certainly has a secret talent which the Nigeria national team coach has not spotted . So paul Onuachu inability to replicate club form for country should be blamed on Rohr.
Mr poster is not goal number 25 but instead goals number 26 for Onuachu..Iheanacho and Victor Oshimhin scored Simy nwankwo scored Brace and Amoo scored and Umar Sadiq too. so it was bobling weekend for Eagle’s
Congratulations Paul, another goal to add to my target of 30 or more goals for you this season. Congratulations to osimhen, iheanacho, simmy and sadiq for painting Europe red with goals and big congratulations to leon balogun and Joe Aribo for winning the Scottish premier league. A good weekend it has been for Nigerian players.
League goals so far….
We need just 3CF….
ONUACHU = 25
SODIQ = 20
SIMY = 10
MOFFI = 8
DESSERS = 4
THIS ONE DON PASS WAHALA o!
THIS ONE NA SERIOUS GBEGE BE THIS….
Osimhen,Onuachu and Iheanacho will get call ups,apparently,this trio are top in the pecking order for the super eagles.
Though fitness or precautionary measures could lead to Osimhen’s omission from the list,so in that case either Sadiq Umar or Moffi should take his place in the team.
Just my take though.
You @Greenturf obviously have preference for some players and dislike some. It is clear for all to see that Sadiq Umar deserves a call up than Ihenacho but your blind love for him won’t make you say the truth. Also, Simy is way better than your Onuachu. Take it or leave it
If I were to venture a guess I will say coach rohr will invite osimhen, onuach, iheanacho and moffi as strikers for the game with sadiq,on standby. If for any reason osimhen is left out then sadiq will get the call. My reason being rohr likes to prioritize leagues over players, he will look at the league and division a player is playing in before considering to invite the player or not. The reason why some players from saudi Arabia were given preferences was because of their status in the team. But an exception to the fact is simy nwankwo who is playing in a,top 5 league and is scoring goals. I guess Rohr just doesn’t see him as the one to lead the line in terms of getting goals for the team.
Please note that iheanacho has more experience playing for the National team than sadiq and as much as I want sadiq in the Super Eagles he has to come in at the right time and also needs to get used to how the team plays.
