ola Aina would av been a better option than echiejele who is extremely slow and and not that attacking minded . Anyway Sha ola fall my hand small didn't take his opportunities . wish them the best .

This coach sef

as long as Joel and onazi are on the bench it is OK.

Blessed are the unexpectant for they shall not be dissapointed. The role of onazi and Joel in that team is what I don't understand. Wishing them all the best anyway.
