Re: Nigeria will be banking on these 3 key players...
If you bank on Iwobi you’ll go bankrupt. I’m banking on the hard workers.
1, Vic- For the goals.
2, Onyeaka - if SE do well it’ll be because he’s holding the MF down and putting in top performances.
3, Omeruo- He’s the old soldier in defense and must lead the defense.
4, Onyedika/Yusuf - whoever gets a chance must work extremely hard and make 0 mistakes.

Iheanacho remains our best finisher though, if you want to count on that super sub to bail you out when chasing a game then senior man is that guy for you...all he needs is that space in the opponents 18 yrd half and it's a wrap.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 1:08 pm If you bank on Iwobi you’ll go bankrupt.

Nacho brings up mixed feelings, good and bad.
But if he can deliver….

Re: Nigeria will be banking on these 3 key players...
An unfit Kelly is not a good sight, I really hope he doesn’t stink it up like he did at 2018 WC when he was previously taken and used unfit vs Argentina…Kai he was slow to everything and even more lazy than normal losing the ball way too often…I had hoped he would have been replaced in the list honestly, so his haters won’t have more to feed on and build their caseDamunk wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 3:41 pmI hope so o.Tobi17 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 1:16 pmIheanacho remains our best finisher though, if you want to count on that super sub to bail you out when chasing a game then senior man is that guy for you...all he needs is that space in the opponents 18 yrd half and it's a wrap.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 1:08 pm If you bank on Iwobi you’ll go bankrupt.

Victor Osimhen!
That's the list.
Unfortunately, he can't also play goalie.

Re: Nigeria will be banking on these 3 key players...
Onyeka will have a great tournament. Under-rated player. Modern presser. I just hope we don’t ask him to be DM. He needs to be higher up field winning balls back and feeding the front 3.

The thing weak die! He can’t make cross field passes, it’s kinda shocking for a modern EPL level midfielder. He’s just going to keep it short and simple because of his limited passing range.

Re: Nigeria will be banking on these 3 key players...
To get the most out of them, Iwobi must be played directly behind Osimhen to feed him passes. Iwobi can also drift out wide sometimes to send in killer balls for Osimhen to finish. Iheanacho should be brought on as a sub and told to just hang around the penalty area, and scavenge off loose balls. He can pass to Victor, Iwobi, or finish them himself.
Wha choo looking at?!

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in.

Anyone who banks on Osimhen is a f00l. He is not a big game player.
Bushboy's bushmen : 1.Isaac Success 2. Terem Moffi 3. Victor Boniface 4. Samuel Omorodion. 5. Samson Tijani. 6. Rafiu Durosinmi.
Who will be next?

Demon. Look your bushmen, they’re all either injured or not performing. Stop putting curses on young people.

Lookman is likely going to be the "Victor Moses" of this team. Many are not focusing on him but I see him taking the bull by the horn and shinning through the tournament.

Re: Nigeria will be banking on these 3 key players...
So this will be Osimehn's first international tournament at full men's level.
Given his past record of injuring himself, especially while playing for SE, unfortunately I just cannot see him not getting injured.
I just don't see him playing 5 or 6 matches for SE without copping an injury.
I expect him to be out of the tournament by the end of the first round.
I hope I am wrong but........
Something about the way he plays he always gets injured.

Re: Nigeria will be banking on these 3 key players...
I agree about VE, but he does bring up a good point, great players know how to grow into a tournament and give only the effort required to get the necessary result in the early phases. They know to pace themselves so they have enough left in the tank for the later stages. That said with Vic’s experience from youth tournaments I’m hoping he will be able to do just that and save some of his legs for later stages. That depends a lot on our situation and our coaches making sensible subs to preserve important players.TonyTheTigerKiller wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 5:01 amNever mind about being wrong about Osimhen.
