Re: Nwakali is the answer!

Iwobi needs to stay, but we would obviously do well to have Nwakali. We have no player like him. Nwakali can be a deep lying playmaker, while Iwobi can push further up.

Re: Orban hangs x3

"He needs to concentrate on consistency" - There is no one as consistent. One pretty short dry spell and he lacks consistency?

In my book he's a different animal and does not compete with Osimhen, Boniface, Akor, Moffi, etc. More of an AM or winger position for him.

Re: Orban has abruptly stopped performing

Orban back on the scoresheet. Came on in the 80th monute to score.

Hopefully he's back.

Re: We need a thread for DEFENDERS AND MIDFIELDERS

Even Whoscored notes Nwakali is great at two things: key passes and set pieces. Two of our weak points. He's not our DM, he's our playmaker / CM.

Do we honestly have a better option anywhere? Who?

Re: Boniface(assist x2) vs Hoffenheim (1-0)

The jury is out who is Nigeria's elite player. Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface are ahead of the pack at the moment. Gift Orban looked like a hit, but has had a drop in form recently, so let's see if he bounces back. Also Akor Adams really is looking to be up there with Osimhen and Boniface. The l...

Fun Fact: Akor Adams currently leading European Golden Boot

He's ahead with 36,5 points.
Closest to him is Harry Kane with 30 points, so 4 goals difference.
This is thanks to having half a league in Norway (15 goals).

Re: NIGERIA’s STRIKER DOMINANT PROBLEM NOTED (VIDEO)

If Peseiro insists on a 4-4-2, Boniface may actually end up being the best partner for Oshimen. Boniface can also play on the left wing. Boniface IS the best partner for Osimehn in a 442. There's really no debate here. He could do LW in a 433 but not in a 442. Innocent question: Why is he unquestio...

Re: SE' in the Europa/conference League today(Boniface scores and assist)

Boniface, Moffi, Akpom, and Orban besides been goal scorers, are comfortable with the ball and are also good passers of the ball. When this is complimented with Osimhen, Lookman, and Chukwueze, it means we can afford to play a system that comprises a four man attack with two solid defensive midfiel...

Re: Boniface(x2goals x1 assist ) and he hangs a goal of the season vs SV Darmstadt 1898

I would argue we can play Chukwueze, Orban, Boniface and Osimhen together with Boniface as a winger and Orban as an attacking midfielder.

Seems more like the team not wanting to risk losing a goal with a few minutes to go and preferring to have 30 minutes with advantage. Possibly very smart play.

Re: DONE DEAL - VICTOR BONIFACE WILL JOIN BAYER LEVERKUSEN

I would love a front with Osimhen, Chukweuze, Gift Orban and very likely Boniface with Orban as a second striker/AM.
