Just how long will coach Eric Chelle continue to ignore Paul Onuachu after he scored his ninth goal of the season for Trabzonspor to win a thrilling Turkish Super Lig tie at Istanbul Basaksehir?

The giant striker has been overlooked by the Super Eagles since June 2024 even as it is now obvious that the team desperately need a viable goal-scoring option to Victor Osimhen.
Onuachu drew Trabzonspor level at 2-2 in the 76th minute from the penalty spot.
The striker also had a goal disallowed for offside in the 47th minute.
He got a decent rating of 7.1 and remains joint leading scorer in the Turkish top league.
Trabzonspor are third in the Super Lig standings with 28 points from 13 matches, four points behind leaders Galatasaray.
My ADVICE FOR ERIC CHELLE & ASSISTANTS IS STRICTLY BASE ON WHO & WHICH PLAYERS TRUELY DESERVE TO BE INVITED FOR NEXT AFCON COMPETITION .
## ERIC CHELLE SHOULD GO & ANALYTICALLY WATCH THE PERFORMANCE OF LAST TEN CONSECUTIVE MATCHES EACH PLAYERS HAS PLAYED IN THE PAST FOR SUPER EAGLE TO REALLY KNOW WHICH PLAYERS ACTUALLY HAVE THE FIGHTING SPIRIT(aggressiveness), QUALITY, POTENTIAL & TRUELY DESERVE TO BE INVITED FOR NEXT AFCON SQUAD..
*** FOR INSTANCE:
@(1). the performance of the last ten matches BONIFACE played is ZERO. IT IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT.( despite not scoring goal, he doesn’t show good quality on the field of play) OLUWASEGUN( from Russia), DUROSIMI(from vict.Pizen) are better than him.
@(2). ….. ONUACHU last ten matches played is also ZERO also.. IT’S NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT ASLO. ONUACHU has won highest goal scorers golden boot award with different clubs in Europe (he is European club goal scorers DECIEVER)l. BUT IN NIGERIA, HE ALWAYS FLOP,.
ERIC CHELLE SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED AWAY WITH HIS PRESENT GOALSCORING FORM. THIS IS A PLAYER THAT HAS PLAYED MORE THAN 20 MATCHES FOR SUPER EAGLE UNDER FIVE DIFFERENT COACH WITH JUST ONLY TWO GOALS SCORED. HIS STYLE OF PLAY DOESN’T SUIT SUPER EAGLE TEAM SETTING AS IT WAS COMPLAINED BY FORMER SUPER EAGLE COACH GERNOT ROHR.
GIFT ORBAN, ADAM AKORS is far far better than him.
PLAYERS WITH STRONG CHARACTER, AGGRESSIVENESS, FIGHTING SPIRIT & ABLE TO RUN WITH THE BALL IS THE KEY TO WIN NEXT AFCON CUP .
### ERIC CHELLE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT EGO, SENIORITY, LEADERSHIP/CAPTAINSHIP, EXPERIENCE (without fitness), TRIBALISM, FAVOURISM, QUOTA SYSTEM. AND SELECT AFCON SQUAD BASED ON POTENTIAL, QUALITY, AGGRESSIVENESS, DETERMINATION
