Getting back to his best.As it is he will most likely get a look in once again in the national team.
Most of his goals comes from the wings at Genk.Unfortunately for him the super eagles wingers would rather cut in than cross,even the few times they make a cross hardly ever locate the strikers.In my opinion the super eagles the way they play is good for strikers who are good with ball on their feet.
I hope this time around Onuachu moves to a big European club after a good season in Belgium.
I actually think he’s a good addition to Super Eagles (at least on our bench). He’ll give the coach the opportunity to use different tactics in a game – if we can’t penetrate through the middle or on the ground, then we can try crosses/air.
We’ve been shouting ourselves hoarse that some of our players’ agents are too docile. They’re not cutting it. I don’t claim to know all that go on behind the doors, but they seem too slow for me. Baffles me why a player that bangs in goals for fun can’t be snatched by a top European club.
Finally the king is back
