Apart from John Obi Mikel, which midfielder did we have at AFCON 2019 (that produced the top goalscorer in Ighalo) that we don't have now or was better than what we have?
Mikel, with all due respect to him, wasn't exactly at the races at AFCON.
We had Ndidi and John Ogu, Etebo and the likes of Moses Simon, Ahmed Musa, Chukwueze, Iwobi and Kalu listed as our 'midfielders'.
So our "poor'' midfield is a 'poor' excuse for the 'poor' performance of the strikers being discussed.
The more logical reason is that they just didn't fit in and couldn't hack it.
Anyway, we know this is about shifting responsibility away from the players and onto the coach.
Not hard to spot.

With how poor our midfield was in some of those games, if you we had played Lewandowski, Kane, Suarez, Cavani, or any other world class forward, they would have struggled to score too.

Enough with these cock and bull stories about lack of service.
Y'all need to stop making ridiculous excuses for their not measuring up to standard when playing for the SE.
Both players have REPEATEDLY proven they are NOT good enough and you need to accept that fact and stop making silly excuses on their behalf.

Not entirely true. In most of the games Onuachu and Simy played for the SE,
they received very little service and as a result got few scoring chances. maceo4 wrote:

Iheanacho and Dessers will probably fall further down the pecking order with the emergence/form of the likes of Onuachu, Sadiq, Simy, Awoniyi, and Moffi
Onuachu and Simy didn’t just emerge, they’ve been tested and failed...let’s try the others...
