If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
Who will replace him in that #9 role? Onuachu definitely doesn't cut it for me as a targetman... way too clumsy, or maybe he just doesn't fit the current system we are using.
The point is we can't just rely on Osimhen cause he might have off games or worse injuries, good thing we're stacked with quality and depth in forwards/wingers with the likes of Kalu, Chidera Ejike(not Ejuke for crying out loud) , Dennis, Chukwueze, Musa, Josh Maja, Simon and other fringe options like Lookman ... but can any of them play as a center-forward?

No. Which is why Rohr keeps on trying to make Onuachu a thing.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
Then I would go with Onuachu, Simy, Okereke, or Umar (almost forgot him). Haven't given up on Onuachu yet cos I don't think he's gotten the ball enough when he's played for the SE.
Okereke is having a barren spell of late, but I think he will be back in form again.
Umar and Simy are the most in form of the 4 right now.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
Onyekuru would be my first choice.
Iheanacho may also have to be recalled. I think I would prefer him to Onuachu.
Dennis and Okereke can also play there, as well as Musa when he comes back.
Anybody but Onuachu for me. The guy pulled an Ogbeche vs Egypt and his been rubbish ever since.
CHuba Akpom, Josh Maja, Taiwo Awoniyi, Isaac Success. Are any of these guys as bad as Onuachu ?

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
The truth is that the best replacement for Osimhen is Iheanacho. This is where Rohr's robotic approach is furstrating. In his mind, if Iheanacho can't get enough minutes at Leicester, then you have to use Onuachu...but Onuachu, being immobile, is totally unsuited to our style of play. Balls will go to his leg to die.
Iheanacho may not be the sharpest or fittest right now, but his style at least fits with how we play. In general, I'm a bit unsure about Onyekuru. He seems to have talent, but isn't nearly aggressive enough to work for Nigeria.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
After Osimhen it's the 3 O's, Onuachu > Olayinka > Okereke IMO. Not too much separates them besides maybe their style of play, with Okereke having the most similarities with Osimhen in terms of style. And we even have outliers like Sadiq and Akpom doing well for their clubs.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
Yep, we should be helping Iheanacho, he has 7 goals for SE, none of our current players/strikers can match that, he might not be getting PT at his club but he’s proven he can score for SE. But Rohr is more focused on height.deanotito wrote:The truth is that the best replacement for Osimhen is Iheanacho. This is where Rohr's robotic approach is furstrating.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
Because he has three times as many caps as them. He isn't particularly prolific either.maceo4 wrote:Yep, we should be helping Iheanacho, he has 7 goals for SE, none of our current players/strikers can match that, he might not be getting PT at his club but he’s proven he can score for SE.

Nacho is NOT a natural central striker (centre forward)
He plays behind the central striker and excels (or used to) in setting up players around him in a supporting role. I think the brief purple patch he struck at Man City has completely distorted the picture and many have been left with this impression that he is a main striker that is out of form.
I disagree completely.
I'd rather play Ahmed Musa in that role before Nacho.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
Okereke would have been the ideal replacement but he's been out of form for a while now.
Form is temporary, class is permanent, I hope he can get back to his early season form.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
Even if Iheanacho is the answer he has not been able to prove it since he left City he hasn’t taken his chances,I don’t see how some one who has an opposite approach to Oshimen should deputise him. Oshimen has the drive, passion and ability to change a game Inheanacho probably isn’t thinking about football right now!deanotito wrote:The truth is that the best replacement for Osimhen is Iheanacho.

Re: If Osimhen gets injured (God forbid)
+1. He never was a central striker. Its seems he does not have the physique or personality for it which is why he is struggling in the role. As a support striker (to anybody not Vardy), the boy can really shine.Damunk wrote:Lai-lai!deanotito wrote:The truth is that the best replacement for Osimhen is Iheanacho.

This Musa as a CF thing is a CE favorite pastime, but I just think its all theoretical. Musa's strength is his speed in running at defenders. You now want to take away the bedrock of his game, and make him sit and wait for balls? Unless of course you're trying to play false 9 (and even then, he isnt my first choice), I don't see how it works. See the way Osimhen had to constantly (and admirably) battle 2 Brazilian CBs all day? Not all players can do that. Just because Musa can score does not mean he can handle the kind of marking that isolation up front will bring.
I still think Nacho is the best choice here.
