He makes the Sofascore Team of the week for 2nd time this season in the Austrian Bundesliga, interestingly they where both when he played out of position at CB. A position Finidi had him playing around the last 10 MD's last season.

Left side of midfield is an interesting development, never knew he could play in that position.

But do we actually have any midfielders across all the leagues of Europe and even Africa doing the business right now? This is where we need the likes of Sunset who has a detailed data of all our Nigerian players even at youth level that need to be monitored, the goal is to focus on midfielders and defenders either born abroad, playing across the leagues in Europe or even Nigeria including the "gems" we've never heard about...since the old legs like Musa, Balogun, possibly Ekong, Ighalo, Shehu etc will be phased out sooner than later, we need to start getting the likes of Ozornwafor, Noah etc ready to take over our defence...then Obinna Nwobodo, Ralph Onyedika, Alhassan, Tom dele Bashiru, Eberechi Eze etc to be added to that midfield.. the likes of Etebo are badly out of form, Onyeka is still a solid option for Ndidi, Aribo doesn't play well for Nigeria but he's still out most in-form midfielder right now...when you think about it, we've really got a crisis in our midfield situation.
:evil: :twisted:
Bring in Eberechi Eze, he is worth a call up into the attacking midfield, i like him and i think he can do more damage than Alex Nwobi !! Eberechi is game is so similar to Okocha and he is even a better scorer than Okocha !! :thumbs:
