I think Etebo brings something different to the team, with a phenomenal work rate.
Seems he might be one of those 'silent performers' that hardly get noticed except when they make errors.
I say this because when I researched our team's and players' performances during the last AFCON, Etebo had one of the highest pass completion rates, not just for the SE (in which he had the highest) but for the whole tournament! I was shocked tbh.
I will dig up the thread, with comparisons and links.
Unconscious bias more likely.
I'll see if the full Cameroun game is online so I can rewatch it.
Its an interesting point your Camerounian friends make on the game. Of course, they watched the game probably with no preconceptions/biases on the Nigerians, but full of biases regarding their own players.
So maybe they saw what we couldn't see....and vice versa.

Add Kingsley Michael and Igbekeme to the list.Tobi17 wrote:Ndidi actually has a higher number of turnovers than Etebo, Ndidi for all his impeccably good tackling and recovery rates hasn't been particularly tidy in possession and has cost us goals on few occasions (I know Ndidi is our golden boy but make we talk true). Good thing he has massively improved that aspect of his game these season at Leicester. Etebo is definitely a key player for us, he's our new Onazi with a higher ceiling.
with Iwobi, Aribo, Ejaria, Azeez, Etebo and hopefully Eze with a monster like Ndidi sitting back and doing what makes him one of the best CDMs in the world, I daresay we are a team to seriously watch out for especially in that midfield. Qatar 2022 couldn't come at a better time.

Re: Aribo
I agree with your comments regarding Nididi. I think because he plays in the EPL with his team currently sitting in second place it would be much harder to drop him than a player from the championship who may drop into the 3rd division (Etebo is on loan in Spain). I don't think Nididi is the golden boy but people are holding fire. Another performance like that ANC Semi finals (giving away the freekick that led to winning goal) it will be open season on Nididi.Damunk wrote:I don't think its a conscious or deliberate thing.maceo4 wrote:Yep....the problem is people have favorites and so don't notice when their favorites (Ndidi) make mistakes, like continuously giving the ball away in dangerous areas, fouling unnecessarily in the dangerous areas, give wayward pass after wayward pass, basically winning the ball just to dash it right back to the opponent.

Only someone who is a choosing expert will dare to compare the two of them. Ndidi will take the jersey from Etebo in any team including Etebo family team...
MaceO does not know the game. This is a guy who has ZERO regards for ball winners and people who do the basic stuff consistently at a high level. He hated on Mikel none stop...
The over-eagerness of Etebo does not make him comparable to Ndidi.
I believe Rohr will get the Midfield components right. He has gotten two right Ndidi+Aribo... he is looking for the third.
My thing is for us to find quality depth so as not to lose anything when we have to sub an often overworked Ndidi...

While Ndidi is being chased by PSG--who already have several top players in that position, but see Ndidi as superior-- Etebo is on loan from a div 3 club. You should write a letter to PSG to reach out to Etebo.

Re: Aribo
When will it ever dawn on you guys that country is different from club? Who cares who buys Ndidi, in GWG Etebo has been better than him in two tournaments now. Even to the point where you have to lie to make your point, someone playing in La Liga is now a div 3 player...the things you read...
Ikpeba was playing at Monaco, in Champions League, even won APOY based on his Monaco exploits, as far as SE did that suddenly make him better than Amo, Amunike, Goals Father that were playing for lesser teams? Leave the club bias out of it and judge on what they do when they put on GWG...even take Pepe that went to Arseanal for umpteenth million, he was getting benched at the ANC b/c dude was not performing for CIV, regardless of what club paid what for him...

Re: Aribo
Best player??? I think that is debatable...... his performance for club is not the same for country he committs too many fouls and gives the ball away often. He was at fault for giving away the free kick in 93 rd minute which resulted in the winning goal. And even if he is the best player it doesn’t make him immune to constructive criticism.danfo driver wrote:Na laugh person dey laugh to comments like that made by Flex Swift.Cellular wrote:Ndidi is not on the team because of the league or the club he plays for.Flex Swift wrote: I agree with your comments regarding Nididi.

Maldini, Baresi, Guardiola, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Cafu etc etc have been at fault for goals, which has sunk their team. It is normal.
I agree that he is not immune from constructive criticism. I just wished to make it clear that Etebo cannot clean Ndidi's boots, even if Ndidi permits him to clean it. They are not even on the same planet. Its not even close. While Ndidi is the best DM in the EPL, statistically, and generally accepted to be one of the best DMs in Europe, Etebo .... never mind. You get the picture.

Re: Aribo
With Ejaria agreeing to represent us, emergence of Aribo, and Eze possible coming down the pike, there is a real possibility of Etebo's role in the SE reducing significantly. Similar to Balogun. That's what happens when a team has depth.
Etebo is still relevant though. Health and form of the players available is also not permanent so that also plays a role. We'll see how Etebo and our other midfielders do next season.
Our midfield is looking really good. We haven't even mentioned younger players like Nwakali or Dele Bashiru who may still turn out to be useful players.

Re: Aribo
the good thing IMO is that the SE is getting to a place where not 1 player has a gauranteed starting shirt. That is the sign of a winning team. No player can feel comfortable and slack off (ala Keshi period)
with the addition of Aribo, Ejaria, Dessers we have a powerful squad.
Our wide options are so deep right now, these are players who cannot even make a squad right now
Lookman, Ejuke, Dennis, Onyekuru, Okereke, and even factor in Victor Moses
these guys would all be shoe ins to make a SE squad with at least half of them gauranteed to start in past eras.
who do we consider our superstars ?
Osimehn, Chukwueze, Ndidi
All of these players have to be on their game or they will be replaced..
Oshimehn has Dessers hot on his heels
Chukwueze, any of Kalu, Simon, Ejuke, Dennis on his heels
Ndidi better stop giving ball away or will be replaced by Etebo,
Nobodys position is safe, and that is great.

Re: Aribo
While Etebo's role may reduce, I still believe the guy is a lock for the squad. Frankly he is our only real backup to Ndidi in the main DM role. His energy and ability to break up plays is still very necessary. The fact he is very versataile is also a plus and I see Etebo being the new shehu as he can even play RB, LM, AM, CM, DM.olu wrote:With Ejaria agreeing to represent us, emergence of Aribo, and Eze possible coming down the pike, there is a real possibility of Etebo's role in the SE reducing significantly.

Our midfield is set right now if there are no injuries it is
Iwobi, Aribo, Ndidi, Etebo, Ejaria, Azeez
Azeez is the player who may be dropped for another attacker, or an upcomming midfielder. We also have Ajayi who can play DM, so maybe Azeez position in the team is not needed.
It will be hard for any new midfielders to get a crack in, unless they offer something completely different or are a superstar. If Eze comes in Azeez will certainly lose his spot.

Either Etebo plays further up in place of Iwobi or he doesn't start.
Ndidi-Aribo...and we are looking for the third complimentary midfielder. I will like to see what the new guys will be able to bring.
Now, if you were arguing about replacing Iwobi with Etebo, or having Etebo deputize Ndidi then you might have a point.

Either Etebo plays further up in place of Iwobi or he doesn't start.
Ndidi-Aribo...and we are looking for the third complimentary midfielder. I will like to see what the new guys will be able to bring.
Now, if you were arguing about replacing Iwobi with Etebo, or having Etebo deputize Ndidi then you might have a point.

Re: Aribo
Hahaha... I am a better armchair coach than Rohr. At least I can tell when a player is tiring and when momentum is shifting. I don't wait until the horse has bolted from the barn to make a sub that even a ludo or draft player saw...maceo4 wrote:Gladly you are not the coach, he knew who was irreplaceable in that midfield and played him (almost wore him out) all ANC.Cellular wrote:Your boy Etebo does not compliment Ndidi well.maceo4 wrote:When will it ever dawn on you guys that country is different from club? Who cares who buys Ndidi, in GWG Etebo has been better than him in two tournaments now. Even to the point where you have to lie to make your point, someone playing in La Liga is now a div 3 player...the things you read...

My invitation to you to learn how to watch a game and what to watch for still stands...
I can explain to you what is expected of every position so you can understand why the person running around and forming busy might be detrimental to team play and what the team is trying to achieve.
