Misfiring back up strikers
Guys, we've spoken about several things concerning the Nigerian team but nobody has spoken about the strikers. They were poor considering that between both strikers, they could only muster 2 goals (1 was a fluke).
Bar Osimhen, we don't have an effective backup.
Onuachu - hasn't been impressive enough for the national team and has been firing blanks at club level this season.
Awoniyi - was just average at the Afcon.
Sadiq - Average and annoying alot of times.
Terem Moffi - hasnt scored in donkey years.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Osimhen, Iheanacho, Ighalo are are strikers going forward.
Re: Misfiring back up strikers
The same Onuachu who coming back from another injury just scored his 15th goal of the season on Sunday? While Moffi has struggled this season, but isn't that expected after what he did in the last season as defenders know more about his game, he also scored on sunday which would do a lot for his confidence going forward.chief nfachairman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 7:22 pm Guys, we've spoken about several things concerning the Nigerian team but nobody has spoken about the strikers.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Ha! Don't mention Awoniyi o! You have to praise him, otherwise stating the fact that the starting forward for Nigeria scored ZERO goal and one deflection in 214 minutes in a major tournament will be called dishonest.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Also if people want to be honest, Osimehn misses just as many chances as any of these guys.
Our only top quality finisher is Nacho but he cannot play lone striker.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
How can a striker score when the wing play is almost non existent. The sight of Simon booting crosses to no mans land alone cant demotivate a striker from making runs. The problems is more the wingers and the AM role not being good enough to feed strikers.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Are you for real? None of the strikers played 3 complete games, Sadiq didn't even play up to 2 complete games and scored, so is a goal in every 2 games bad??chief nfachairman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 7:22 pm Guys, we've spoken about several things concerning the Nigerian team but nobody has spoken about the strikers.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
i really had high hopes for Awoniyi, though i must say even Osimhen would have struggled with this team (poor ball supply).
Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Going forward Dennis should e starting. he reminds me of Amokachie in his hey days.
Re: Misfiring back up strikers
The same misfiring players score 10+ goals every season in top European leagues. Many of them just need time to settle and a coach with a plan.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Misfiring because deadwoods like Musa and Onuachu keep occupying their spots. Maybe if they got more opportunities during the qualifiers they would be more confident in the tournament proper.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Dennis is lazy when he doesn’t have the ball. And he loses the ball too much, even more than Nacho. That is a big no no at top level football. You guys will soon find out that he is not all that.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Yes. Play him behind a striker like Onuachi who lacks movement in my opinion then you will see how deadly that combination will be.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Before the tournament I mentioned that it was a huge risk taking players that didn’t play in a single qualifier to the Afcon. It is not at the tournament that you find out if the players are good enough.
Both Taiwo & Sadiq are not clinical strikers even for at their respective clubs they don’t score Hat tricks or more than a single goal per game. The level Sadiq plays at is really low. At least they got play at the Afcon and people now know the level they are at.
Nigeria is in a position to give strikers an opportunity and if they don’t take it they can be dropped and replacements take their spot. Example Moffi & Dressers should be given an opportunity if they don’t perform they equally should be dropped. We have enough strikers in Europe to keep testing until a solution is found.

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
In all the matches i have seen him play, this happens usually when he plays as a winger which to me is a no no. I try to watch Watford frequently simply because of Dennis, Ekong and Peter Etebo the midfielder.
Peter Etebo is another player who should come into the SE equation going forward. Would love to see him featured in the SE as the base of a 3 man midfield with Ndidi and Aribo flanking him. The few times he played like that in Watford, he has been impressive. By the way is he injured or something.
Re: Misfiring back up strikers
I totally agree on Moffi being giving a good run in the team. The few times i have seen him play in Ligue 1 he has been clinical scoring half chances.Flex Swift wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 4:24 pm Before the tournament I mentioned that it was a huge risk taking players that didn’t play in a single qualifier to the Afcon.

Not sure I understand the graph.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Re: Misfiring back up strikers
Then they should just stay in Europe and let strikers who can adjust like Sadiq play for us!
