Saudi is a good team. We must take the match seriously!

osi for hat trick

Marjoribanks:
Why is Netherland not calling Zirkzee up. That boy is a serious baller. He outclassed Osimhen when Napoli played Bologna. Same skillset as Boniface but more fluid! Fantastic talent!! I am shocked Bayern allowed him to leave. Watch this space that boy will soon move to bigger things!!
I will be happy if we can convince him to play for us!!

🚨Breaking news;
Saudi Arabia national team captain Salman Al Faraj said

" We will be treating the Friendly match encounter against Nigeria like the world cup Final, we shall humiliate Nigeria the same manner we humiliate Argentina in the world cup in 2022" Captain Salman Al Faraj declares......

Guys, what can you say about this? 🤔

The Saudi team would expose us.

They'd give us no breathing space. The best we can hope for is a draw.

Madueke okoye OUT

John Noble IN

Maybe Okoye declined the invite. Is Noble first choice in his club? Also, can he even get a visa at such short notice to Portugal?

Maduka Okoye came into eagles unmerited and used super eagles to rise,yes he was criticized by fans for poor performance against Tunisia which happens in football.

One thing he should know Nigeria will never beg him,so declined the invite is not the best way to express his grievances.He should come in and prove us wrong.

Dele Aiyenigba never got second chance after Guinea match.Daniel Akpeyi was heavily criticized and sometimes criticized unjustifiably e.g Mahrez free kick that can beat any keeper.Even Francis Uzoho is still under attacks from fans for poor performance against Ghana.

A lesson here,Nigeria should look in ward and give us a keeper like Enyeama cuz when Enyeama was discovered he was not among the sensational keepers in the league,the tops ones are Uche Akubieke,Austin Ejide,Chijioke the Arugo Monkey.but he came in and proved himself.

Chijioke aka arugo monkey was one keeper I love watching, wonder why he was never called up to the SE. Another was Sunday Rotimi.

Are you serious?

Are you serious?

The guy's not wrong tho, we have the squad and firepower to beat them, but these guys can defend with everything. If they can't score, they no go let you score. We need to be highly tactical and they might use 0–3 hold body, tho the highest losing margin they've been on since their last 10-12 games is a 2-goals margin... If the Super Eagles 🦅 extend that margin, then I'll believe we've improved tremendously.

Sunday Rotimi was a keeper I thought would make it big cuz he is talented and has the physique of a real keeper but he failed to make it to the top.I will only rate Enyeama ahead of him in their generation.

Yes Chijioke Arugo Monkey was very delightful to watch,talented but very light like Greg Etafia.We have Uche Akubuike who then was pushing hard but not really impressed with him ,saw him live in Ilorin camp with Greg Etafia,despite his height,find small frame Greg to beat,even greenhorn Aiyenigba was better than him…

Austin Ejide had everything then and the door was opened for him but his outings in friendlies gave way for Vincent Enyeama invitee,sincerely Ejide was heavy.

All eagles trainer need is third eye to discover keeper even in NPFL and instill confidence in him.I do asking coach Amusa Adisa what he saw in Enyeama.Coach Amusa said he took him just 15 minutes against Kenya friendly and whispered to Onigbinde “we have seen keeper” to deputize Shorunmu.

Enyeama was not flamboyant,he looked like someone who got no skill,not six feet height keeper but he read his line very well with confidence and very calming in goal.

So how come they are on a losing streak? 🥱 Or are you talking of a different team? We will beat them jare

All we've got to do is not be overconfident and we'll brush them aside

Yes friendlies but if Peseiro fails against Saudi and Mozambique,meaning we are not ready for Afcon

lovewins:
BREAKING: Maduka Okoye has been called up for Nigeria international friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique following the unavailability to f some recently invited goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper returns to national duty for Nigeria for the first time since November 2022.

Maduka Okoye is a good example of the fact that improvement is possible when you put in the work.

Dude has really matured. I pray he gets his chance someday.

Saudi Arabia has lost 9 out of their last 10 matches(their win was against Yemen) Saudi Arabia are ranked 57th in the world

zuchyblink:

Maduka got to eagles as a regional league keeper through his agent.Yes he seized the opportunity through confidence Rohr has in him.

The opportunity gave him his first real professional with Rotterdam and did well,moved to Watford and failed woefully,now in Udinese with the hope of regaining the lost ground.

Fact, Maduka has never impressed in eagles,nothing spectacular in his performances but with his age he can still become better and valuable,his Udinese contract is good for his career and hope he seizes the opportunity if given the chance.

We called him "the headmaster" . ....not had a more prolific header in the Super Eagles. Loved by fans majorly due to his efficiency and level headedness both on and off the pitch.

Video below shows how he hammered the brilliant USA great Goalie: Kasey Keller in the semifinal of the Saudi '89 FIFA U20 World Cup

Throwback to goals he scored in the Super Eagles jerseys.

We're saying the same thing bruh. Small overconfidence, otilo... They're not walkovers.

Liverpool are showing serious interest in a young defender from the Italian Serie A.

Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Reds are running the rule over 18-year-old Lecce full-back Patrick Dorgu.

The newspaper states that Manchester City and Barcelona are also keeping tabs on the youngster.

Dorgu has been impressing scouts over the past few years at youth and senior level.

City's interest is said to be slightly less, as they are well stocked in defense.

However, both Barca and the Reds are very keen to bring Dorgu to their respective clubs

Maybe Okoye declined the invite. Is Noble first choice in his club? Also, can he even get a visa at such short notice to Portugal?

What’s this? Super Eagles media officer said Okoye looked sharp in training on Wednesday and was welcomed by his team mates. Declined invite how?
