Bros, if our offensive threat down the middle gets shackled, we’re in trouble. Moses can try to create but without that support, he will tire quick. Moses is good but if you’re expecting him to bob and weave the same way he does with African players, think again. This is the WC...Standards are higher. Only truly transcendent players like Messi and Okocha can maintain their game at any level.Sunset wrote:Not really bros. with Iwobi and Moses, we have 2 other players that can definitely change a game against any team right now IMO.deanotito wrote:Problem is if Mikel gets shackled - we're in troublechief nfachairman wrote:This writer totally gets it. MIkel - Onazi - Ndidi is not creative and unpredictable enough. Onazi is not a great ball player, Ndidi is first a "Srapper" but a slightly better ball handler. We need creativity from deep, we need to be able to hold possession in the midfield, while keeping our tightness.
Mikel should not be our only creative point in our midfield. We need more. If MIkel gets marked out, a second midfielder continues.
For me, I want a Obi, Obi, Ndidi midfield
john12, Thanks for reminding us again about the need for the most basic of human relationship requirements- respect. Sadly, some on this forum have simply lost the plot and are incorrigibly intolerant of divergent views. Healthy, vibrant and respectful debates are all we ask for.john12 wrote:What’s with folks here and personal insults?? Sometimes, we act like people at online forum knows us personally. We need to learn how to disagree without insulting each other personally. Maybe, an occasional jibe but it shouldn’t be continuous.

Not that radical a suggestion - it's been put forward many times here. Given our options at left back and Obi's qualities - we're better off deploying him in midfield.Ayo Akinfe wrote:If he stays fit and is back to his best, I am going to made a radical suggestion and suggest that he plays leftback.

We do not have a leftback of Joel's quality. Besides, in midfield we have enough depth with Mikel, Ndidi and Onazi.The YeyeMan wrote:Not that radical a suggestion - it's been put forward many times here.

do we have a GK of his quality?
Bros his natural position is not LB, he will help the team as a midfielder who can fill in a few other spots as the needs arise. I though you said Aina and Idowu were the next best thing since sliced bread.Ayo Akinfe wrote:We do not have a leftback of Joel's quality.

Joel Obi will be a better leftback than both Aina and Idowu. For starters, both of them are right footed while he is left footed.Cito wrote:Bros his natural position is not LB, he will help the team as a midfielder who can fill in a few other spots as the needs arise.
