Most people with the loudest negative opinion about our players on this platform do not even watch football. Bassey was immense against Chelsea today. Put Jackson in his place. Just kill Jackson hype in 45 minutes.
When I told them that the Ajax team limited my boy's talent they all came out from their hole foaming in their mouth condemning the boy. Now every pundit is praising my boy's debut for Fulham today. The fans are happy!
See you in the Premier league!
Shockingly Fulham has better midfielders who can progress the ball than Ajax.
Midfileders who do not put defenders in difficult situations thereby allowing the defenders to worry only about defending not thinking about how to deal with back passes every seconds.
Bassey is made for the Premier League!!!!

thank God say no be me or you put up this write up about Bassey’s performance today

Na only pple wey no sabi better players go tell you say that he is trash

I’m terms of defenders in our disposal currently Bassey has the highest ceiling and potentials to metamorphose to a world class defender in the nearest future

I pray he moving and performing with Fulham will attract epl big boys in a season or 2

no need of experimenting cus it won’t work

I totally disagree. Multiple experiments in football have worked and will keep working. Ask Guardiola who used Stones in midfield.

I have been seeing top transfer moves for our strikers (which I'm excited about), but what about our midfielders? do we even have emerging midfield talents right now? At least our defence is looking promising with the likes of Bassey getting a much needed moved to Fulham under a top manager in Marco Silva, then add the likes of Tosin Adarabioyo (on his way to Monaco), Jordan Torunarigha (Borussia Morchengladbach), Gabriel Osho (Luton), and hopefully our U20 lads- Benjamin Frederick and Ogwuche, even Chidozie Awaziem is looking to make a return to Nantes which is a top move for him.

Our Attack is forever stacked and getting even more scary- Osimhen, Moffi, Sadiq, Awoniyi, Gift Orban, Victor Boniface, Akor Adams, Nacho etc

Should we build our midfield around the likes of Michael folorunsho (Napoli), Onyedika, Iwobi, Eletu, Akinsanmiro and Daga since the
Ndidi set look to be on a decline?

ndidi is not on decline just that injury slowed him down a bit last season which is normal

Folorunsho if he gets a loan move to any serie A club will be thoroughly looked at

The duo of onyedika and alhassan will get their chance in the national team soon if they continue to perform in the Belgian league

Onyeka and iwobi with ndidi for now are untouchable while Daga hv to move to europe for men’s footie while Akinsanmiro and Eletu continue to work hard to get a sniff in inter and Milan’s first teams

My brother if you can't see Ndidi's decline even as glaring as it is, then I don't know what else to tell you o!' even the Leicester fans are divided on him, many want him gone. Ndidi shouldn't be a key starter until he gets a better club, same for Aribo.

Alhassan Yusuf has been consistently superb for Antwerp, the same Antwerp are champions of Belgium, what else does Yusuf have to do ti get a much overdue invitation to the SE? until Ndidi breaks both legs? Onyeka is decent but he's not a more complete player than even Nwakali who is a technically gifted player.

The core of our midfield if we want to win trophies should be built around:

Iwobi
Nwakali
Michael folorunsho
Alhassan Yusuf
Frank Onyeka
Onyedika
Eletu &Akinsanmiro are to be monitored this season at their clubs for a call up.

Issues Coach Waldrum must address ahead of Ireland encounter:

- Play with more confidence - do not stroke the opponent's ego
- Avoid giving up too many corners/set pieces - this was problematic during the Aussie match
- Do not take your foot off of the gas pedal in the last 25-30 mins. This issue led to the aforementioned issue in our match against Australia
- Improve passing accuracy (I will admit though, passing hasn't been good across all teams at this tournament)

I watched SA play vs Argentina and was impressed by how they moved the ball. I think it all comes down to coaching though

Super eagles of Nigeria team is presently talented that any decent coach can achieve magnificent result with this team. Keyword (decent coach) unfortunately, we have been unlucky with our coaches. We just need a coach that will select players on Merit, balanced Formation, appropriate first 11 and we will excel. For example, our midfield considered to be our known weakness hasn’t been prioritized due to the nonchalant attitude towards that position. I lost it when a commenter suggested that Gift orban (A talented Striker) should be converted to play as a playmaker because of lack of midfield options (in his mind). We don’t have a midfield problem but priority/coaching issue. Next year, I expect musa to be included in our 23 man squad and based upon that selection one has to wonder if we’re being serious about winning

South African national teams have always been like that... beautiful and intricate passing. However, they usually lack that X-factor and bite.

So Chelsea now have Chukwuemeka, Ugochukwu, and Madueke yet none plays for Nigeria.

...and AC Milan have Chukwueze, Tomori, and Okafor but only Chukwueze plays for us.

Crystal Palace have Eze and Olise, yet none plays for us.

Too many talents been lost.

All the players you mentioned in midfield are young and there need someone to mentor before there can Stand on there own.

Probably 1994-1996 era.

Attack: Yekini, Amokachi, Siasia with Ikpeba and Kanu as backups

Wingers: Finidi, Amuneke with Tijani B. and Garba Lawal as backups

Midfield: Oliseh, Okocha and Adepoju with Oruma and Karibe Ojigwe as backups

Defense: Uche Uchechukwu, Chidi Nwanu, Keshi, Uche Okafor, Taribo, Eguavoen, Celestine Babayaro and Ben Iroha

Goalkeeper: Rufai, Ike Shorunmu, Dosu Joseph and Emma Babayaro

Coaches: Westerhof, Bonfere and Amodu not world class but decent tacticians who could win you matches more often than not.
