this adeleye guy truly resembles onana with that hair do, maybe onana na him inspiration

Oh, I didn't know. Isn't it always 2 matches every international break?
That last game was initially meant to be played this weekend. This weekend was meant to be the end of qualifiers.

However the AFCON was shifted to January and the last game was then moved to September.

Well it depends on dis current chairman Gusau…he’s giving a vibe like someone who won’t organize enuf friendly games unlike his predecessor
even with less friendly game, if osimhen continue with he’s form to the next afcon and World Cup qualifiers he may get up to ten to eleven goals in both footballing series

Someone who speaks my language.

Osimhen is now 20 goals away from equalling Yekini's Goals Record for the Super Eagles.

Against Sao Tome, Osimhen has the sweet chance to cut the gap to 16 coz I feel he can score 4 again or even more. Lol

We need that Sao Tome game for Osimhen to stat pad abeg.......

That suggestion did not make any reasonable sense. Till tomorrow it will not make sense. Can you give an example of a national team that does that?

Even when Portugal is playing Lithuania, Luxembourg etc. Ronaldo still plays if fit. As far as it isn't a tournament or league, resting players for smaller matches is foolish because you will prevent team cohesion and confidence.

How many matches do we play in a year to be keeping our big players away? And then when they don't play as a team we complain.
With dead rubber games like the Sao Tome game many established soccer nations do it.

Don't mind this people jare! Football is a team sport. The players need to play together to understand one another. Macedonia defeated Italy. England played Malta with its full squad.Stop wasting your precious time reacting to those ignorant peeps!
Marjoribanks you talk and write without insight. Was the England v Malta game a dead rubber game? England has not sealed qualification yet so the home-based analogy will not apply as per the 65%.
For those not seeing the obvious: your goal as a coach is to discover new players to compete favourably and also playing them in position that will help express their innate skills not out of position and condemning them afterward.
Playing an opposition parading players from local clubsides that have not done well in the past 15years up till last year in any CAF COMPETITION does you no real good bringing your Foreign based best legs when there could be a blend of the best legs from the home scene and the foreign based.
More especially in dead rubber games you gain more in player discovery.

the nff should only invite a 65% home based squad for friendlies . the only people that deserves that match are the fringe and new players we are yet to test. We saw what a squad of home based players did against Costa Rica. Nigeria is gracious when it comes to allocating spaces for home based talents. All the youth teams are majorly for home based players. The super eagles is and should only be for the best Nigerian talents. The national team needs a squad that stays together for long and picking players that are going to be dropped once they sign for alfarjush fc in jordan cannot help the team. How many home based players in keshi's teams signed for a decent team in Europe?
Godfrey Oboabona signed for a decent team in Europe.

Okoye maybe, but he has not shown enough yet to be regarded better than Uzoho. Let's see how good he his when he face powerhouses that'll actually test him e.g Brazil.

Well you are right but Enyeama used friendly match against Kenya to show he was ready and he capped it with solid performance against England in WC,just second capped…..One thing I noticed about Adeleye was his ball playing from the back.It is a pity tall keepers like Okoye and Maduka are not convincing.

egwuekwe went to finland, south Africa, Libya and came back home, odunlami went to romania
and is now in india, reuben went to Kilmarnock, played 3 games, played in 3 other european countries and now based in Saudi, oboabona played in turkey and is now in georgia. after using home based players in his team, the best club anyone of them signed for was a spor team in retirement league turkey. Basically we helped their career but did they improve the national team?? we have a plethora of teams to use for showcasing talents but the super eagles should never be one of them. We can't improve the team if we continue this madness. Let them use the chan team to build confidence. I repeat, the Sao tome game should only be to cap new players. We dont really play that much games to be using one of them as confidence booster for the home based eagles. You are really not helping your case over here.

Uzoho wey no good with em feet, pass ball to him em go play am like who gets 2 left legs.

The new guy from Israeli has the qualities of a modern day goal minder. Though he is still raw but under the right tutelage he may be the next Vincent enyeama

I don’t knw y majority is not getting dis guy point…what he’s saying is if we re facing d likes of São Tomé,car and co we don’t need to parade our full strength team b4 we can defeat dis kind of teams with ease…we shld be able to have a kind of team b(mixed of foreign and local based players dt can easily execute such matches wout hassles .

If u look at it on d oda hand,it’s more embarrassing parading ur full team to teams ranked above 100 in fifa rankings,yet getting flogged in ur home. We av seen several cases like dt😀

You think it is easy communicating tactical instructions to many of these players on the local scene.

You may not understand how difficult it is, monitoring players on the local scene to gain good understanding of how they play.

Having players who play together for a long time helps team chemistry regardless of the quality of the opposition. If we are planning on working with players on the local scene, it shouldn't be different names every time.

Thank you jare... Keshi really tried for those home bases players...Sunday Mbah was expected to earn a decent move abroad after that AFCON heroics,but we saw how it ended ..
Using the super eagles to market NPFL players won't in any way improve the league...if anything,it will cause more damage cus the best players in the league will keep leaving... Emeka Obioma who emerged top scorer in the just concluded season is already being courted by Zamalek of Egypt at a time when Enyimba are back to the CAF CL.. .
How will the league grow when the best players are leaving every time?

If NFF/Peseiro kno what their doing the starting 11 for the Sao Tome game in September will look something like this.

GK - Victor Sochima (Rivers utd) / Amas Obasogie (Bendel insurance); one half each

RB - Festy Ebosele (Udinese)
CB - Jordan Torunarigha (KAA Gent)
CB - Caleb Okoli (Atalanta)
LB - Bruno Onyeamechi (Boavista)


CM - Daniel Daga - (Dakkada FC) Yusuf Alhassan (Royal Antwerp); one half each
CM - Tochukwu Nnadi (Botev Plovdiv)
CAM - Devine Nwachukwu (Bendel Insurance)
DM - Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge)

ST - Gift Orban (KAA Gent)
ST - Victor Boniface (Union St. Gilloise)

With one or 2 maybe 3 changes depending on form, injuries etc.

Simple message to the players go on the pitch and do your job. Win your individual duels and we win the game very comfortably. Prove you should be seriously considered as part of future squads. Finish.

Just watch what we will do. Bookmark this page. We will do invite 70/80 % of the players you just watched yesterday. Including Musa for experience undecided

We could also be working overtime to commit Noni Madueke, Carney Chukwuemeka, Tosin, Destiny Udogie, Festy Ebosele, Caleb Okoli etc. If we fail after genuinely trying then we know where we stand and move on.

I still think the team for Sao Tome should look like this.☝🏾
