Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
If everyone is healthy, the available strikers for the WC as of today are:
1. Osimhen
2. Kelechi
3. Ighalo
4. Onuachu
5. Awoniyi
6. Sadiq
7. Onyekuru
8. Desser
9. Dennis
10. Olayinka.
This will put this discussion about Awoniyi in perspective. We all want our strikers to light it up everytime they step on the pitch, but that's not always the case for every player. Even Nacho has been in a funk in the past and was left off, so i dont understand why we are not being honest about Awoniyi so far.
The reality is that there is stiff competition at that position, so he going to need more than statistical comparison to make the top 4.
So if you were to pick your 4 for the WC, which 4 players would you pick?
1. Osimhen
2. Kelechi
3. Ighalo
4. Onuachu
5. Awoniyi
6. Sadiq
7. Onyekuru
8. Desser
9. Dennis
10. Olayinka.

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
1. Kelechi - has more goals for Nigeria than other in consideration. I trust his boots
2. Osimehin
3.Onaochu
4. Awoniji (I'll still give him one more game). I don't like what i saw with Sadiq. Dude doesn't seem to fit the strong, fast, technical scheme

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
Let the tournament play out before drawing any firm conclusions on Awoniyi or Sadiq. This is their big opportunity to make a case for themselves.

Which WC? I am not aware that Nigeria has qualified for the WC oooo.

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
I think there will be 5 of those 10 at the WC, but I think Osimhen and Kelechi are in 100%. Then the battle is between Onuachu/Awoniyi/Sadiq (probably Onuachu) and one of the smaller more skillful strikers so Dennis/Ejuke/Onyekuru. I would say Dennis, but possibly because of his attitude it would be Ejuke. If a 5th, he would take Awoniyi.
All things being equal, and no injuries, the others have very little chance. Also don’t underestimate a return of Moffi if he regains his form.

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
If the question is about the qualifiers, a few things
We’ll have more than four strikers.
Osimhen and Iheanacho are set.
Awoniyi has done enough to play his way in.
I don’t think Dennis will get invited again any time soon.
So for the other two positions, I think you’ll have Ighalo and Sadiq.

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
My four at the moment: Osimhen, Iheanaco, Awoniyi, Onuachu
Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
My 4
Osimehn
Iheanacho
Dennis
Awoniyi
How can someone possibly say that Dennis SE career should be over because NFF didn’t do their job?

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
Dennis will not go to the world cup. Go and mark it. No coach will tolerate a stubborn disrespectful player like him. He doesn't want to play his heart out for the SE, so let him be. Besides, it's not even like we need him. We have better performing strikers.
I am just and Ordinary guy being used by an extraordinary God.
Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
The NFF are to be blamed not Dennis for his exclusion at this tournament. They had a simple job, “inform clubs on time” and they didn’t do their job. Why blame Dennis? On current form, DENNIS is SE best available winger/Forward and will be a starter on current formnaijaguy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 1:31 pm Dennis will not go to the world cup. Go and mark it.

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC
His career is not dead, but he isn't worth the headache abeg. Onuachu just won the golden boot in Belgium and he comes without diva issues. I would much prefer him in the mix for now. I also see Dennis as more competing with Simon, Chukwueze, Ejuke, Kalu than Osimhen.
