Why Paul Onuachu Thrives in Turkey but Stalls with the Super Eagles – Garba Lawal’s Take

Why Paul Onuachu Thrives in Turkey but Stalls with the Super Eagles – Garba Lawal’s Take — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Former Super Eagles midfielder Garba Lawal says Paul Onuachu’s role at Trabzonspor suits his strengths more than his national team role. Standing 6ft 7in, Onuachu excels as a traditional target man in Turkey. He dominates defenders and leads the attack with his physical presence. Lawal notes that international football offers limited preparation. With only a few training sessions, players must adapt instantly or risk being sidelined. He believes this time constraint affects Onuachu’s impact for the Super Eagles.

Given Onuachu's success as a target man in Turkey, do you think the Super Eagles should adjust their formation or tactics to suit his strengths?

Are we suggesting a two-striker setup or just more crosses from wide to feed him?

I see his club form, but tweaking tactics for one player might disrupt team balance. Maybe improving midfield service works better.

It does feel like his physical presence is more valued at Trabzonspor, but national team coaches often prefer different styles of play.

I'm not convinced that formation alone explains Onuachu's struggles. He's had chances before and didn't always deliver when given service.

Coaches might work on tailoring set pieces and crossing drills so Onuachu's height advantage translates into more goals for the Super Eagles.
