What a goal by Joe Aribo!

[Tobi17]

Aribo brings that courageous drive we've been lacking in our midfield since JayJay (not saying he's JJ), but we've been missing a player that can carry the ball and just drive forward damning all the consequences, he scored a similarly brilliant goal against Brazil as well... hope he keeps it up

Its not a one-off.

Joe didn't dribble through the Braga defence. 

He dribble one player, executed a give and go. Dribble a defender, the ball then hit the leg of another defender, which changed the direction of the ball and Joe's intended movement.

fabio you must be very Stupid!


Rewatch the video properly. he dribbled the defender on the right side, then dribbled past 3 more defenders through Agidi before scoring. dude went past 4 defenders before scoring which is considered dribbling

I thought you were against abusive language?
Weytin fabio talk now-now to attract such a response?

Fabio, watch it again. he dribbled/dummy 3 defenders after that give and go before scoring. dude is good!

I have watched the replay over and over. I still stand by my assertion.

The dummy was result of the ball hitting the legs of a defender, the ball then hit the legs of another defenders (that's what caused the dummy).

Please watch the replay of the highlight.

Etebo can do the same, unfortunately all SE coaches apart from Siasia play him as a DM. He scored 5 goals in the U23 AFCON in 2016 and scored 4 goals in a single match against Japan at the 2016 Olympics but because of his energy levels, coaches prefer to play him defensively.
His 2 goals against Algeria in the final of the U23 AFCON
are prime examples of how he can drive the ball forward.
He even scored on his international debut against Egypt in Kaduna when Siasia played him in a more offensive role.

I agree. Far from a Maradona or Messi that reading the headline makes it sound like.

Oga that was then, the new Etebo no fit drive shopping cart in a grocery store.

Aribo scores again today.

Etebo has never been played as a DM. He has always been played in the EXACT SAME POSITION Aribo has played for SE.

Ndidi has been our DM

Etebo has always played in between the DM and the AM, same as Aribo.

Aribo has taken his chance and has been much more effective than Etebo in terms of goal scoring and most importantly not giving the ball away in terrible positions on the pitch.

Etebo has his work cut out to establish himself again. He has been average at best in the Championship and hasn't gotten much time in Spain, and when he has was deployed as a RB.

With Ejaria likely to join the fold soon, Etebo is even further down the pecking order.
