The best thing now is to motivate uzoho and that’s a fact you don’t want a hot/cold keeper on your post that lacks confidence

Motivate Uzoho. What does that to do the other keepers who believe they are better.
The likes of Chief Segun Odegbami, Chris Green are even calling for him to be dropped outrightly. That’s the only motivation he can get now. The joke is on Jpes

For the last AFCON, we were begging Emmanuel Dennis to come and play and between him.and Watford, he declined our invite. Watford got relegated and unfortunately Dennis'career has been on a downward spiral. I remember one Senegalese striker that time, Sakho from Westham then. He too declined to attend AFCOn for his team and his career nose-dived. Anybody wey like make im lie, no problems at all grin. Matip wey use Cameroon Shakara just dey get injury like menstrual cycle cheesy
No matter how you play football, I swear the international games will be the highlight of your career. Where will Zidane, Carlos, Ronaldo be without those exhilarating games they played for their countries?

If Peseiro insists on using 4-4-2, maybe he sbould consider playing Iwobi on the flanks, with Any two of Onyeka, Onyedika and Aribo in midfield. Iwobi likes to drop into the midfield even when he is played on the flanks.... Whenever partners Osimhen in attack can then slot in to the flank to make it 4-3-3 ..
Basically, we will be using 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 at once..

You see why I always say you don't know football?

The coach replaced a DM with a DM and here you're mentioning Fisayo who plays upfront in the midfield and you're evening berating Alhassan not to be on his level


Top footballers are versatile and not restricted to just only playing one position.⚽

Douglas Luiz is classed as a defensive midfielder but his attacking contributions probably exceed most of the midfield in Villa.

Quality is not restricted by the limitations of designation.

I would rather have an attack minded DM who is versatile like Ngole Kante, Casemiro, Rice, than robotic one dimensional one.

So help us with stats to show us when last fisayo play as a DM and what was his overall contribution that day.

Mind you the super eagles needed a DM to help shield the back 4 and leaving room for any of Onyeka, Aribo, Iwobi to push forward but any way help us with Fisayo stats as a DM

Big fact. The world will never forget Kylian Mbappe's performance last World Cup for France. Even at the last finals against Argentina. Mhen that was a breathtaking performance. But then this is more like what he does regularly in PSG at Ligue 1

The number 19 jersey was a very insignificant number in the history of Nigeria Super Eagles until a certain unknown young man came out of nowhere and in a very short time, wrote his name in the history books forever..

His name, SUNDAY MBA

Before the 2013 AFCON, only a few knew the name Sunday Mba, and even those who did never cared much about him as he was a local league player picked to compete against an array of European stars in the Super Eagles of Nigeria team

Unlike the case today, late Stephen Keshi was bold enough to pick 6 home-based players as part of his 23-man squad for AFCON2013. Many believed the local league players would end up as bench warmers, but at the end of the tournament, the name the whole world was singing was Sunday Mba; the Warri Wolves player.

As many expected, Mba and other home-based players were benched in the first 2 group games. Only Oboabona got to play in defense. However, on the last group game which was a must-win game against Ethiopia, Stephen Keshi did the unthinkable; he dropped Nosa Igiebor of Real Betis and started Sunday Mba.

Mba didn't get to score against Ethiopia, but he did enough to convince the coach that he deserved to start in the Quarter final against almighty Ivory Coast.

With the likes of Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure, Gervinho, Kalou, Zokora, Eboue and even Kolo Toure in the Ivorian side, nobody gave the Super Eagles a chance. There were even rumours that Nigerian officials had already booked return flight tickets for the players before the game.

In the 43rd minute, Emenike pulled a shocker and with a smashing bullet freekick, he put Nigeria ahead. 7 minutes later, Tiote equalized with a header. The whole world expected the next goal to come from the Ivorians, and Drogba precisely. But destiny had something else planned out.

That was when the Sunday Mba clock ticked....

He picked the ball from the center of the field, pushed it forward, beat one, dribbled two, and from the edge of the box, unleashed a rocket that flew into the back of the net. That goal announced the local player to the international media. Mba would go ahead to score the lone goal in the final which would hand Nigeria her 3rd AFCON title.

📌FROM GRASS TO GRASS:
The AFCON heroics made Mba one of the most sort after player by many European teams. Unbelievably, Mba ended up signing for a third tier club in France; CA Bastia. HOW?

Due to greed and politics, everyone wanted to have a share of Mba's cake. His club, Warri Wolves and his former team Enugu Rangers got into a war of ownership of the player and this lasted for over 7 months.

All the European teams that wanted Mba got tired of waiting for the issue to be resolved and pulled out of the race. The only team left was the third tier club.

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup approaching, Mba needed to start playing regularly so as to be picked for the world cup. He was forced to sign for CA Bastia and that was the beginning of his end...

Mba's stats for Nigeria are...
📌Debut: 2012
📌Appearances: 22
📌Goals: 7
📌Assists: 0
📌Trophies: 1 (AFCON 2013)
📌Duration with Super: 2 years (2012/2013)

Sadly, today, Mba is just 33 years old, but has been without a club since 2017. He literally retired from active football at the age of 27.

You can watch the best of Sunday MBA in my next post..
