Chelle no send anybody papa o …for him to have d balls to bench ekong(team captain) no b beans o,I knw what would have transpired behind d scenes.its not easy to drop a team captain like dt,not to talk of a team like Nigeria 🇳🇬. Anyway I want him to invite alhassan Yussuf in d next list
He dropped Ekong against Rwanda and started him against South Africa and cost him 3 good points and you are saying he no send anybody papa o.

Hes a joker at this point
Smh
I think Osimhen really messed up some of his plans
He shouldn’t have taken this job
I thought he should’ve been patient
Wait for EPL job opening
Forest made a big mistake letting Nuno go
Nuno stabilized that ship


That's the issue with these smaller clubs
The chairman thinks the club has suddenly become big, because of the work Nuno did..
Anyway, I trust Ange..
He will take them back to the bottom half of the table where they belong

I believe “behind d scenes politics made him to start ekong against South Africa 🇿🇦…you would notice he yanked him off b4 d start of second half …more like ;sheybe Una don c ,make I start experience,make I start experience…
A good coach can't be influenced by anybody,fact NFF didn't influenced inclusion of Ekong against South Africa cuz what NFF expected was normal pairing of Frederick/Bassey with Bruno keeping his place and Arokodare starting not Dessers, reason why they criticized Ekong and Dessers after the match.

Ezekiel Nathaniel. So close to a medal. Finished 4th in the Men's 400mH finam behind USA's Rai Benjamin, Brazil'z Alison dos santos and Qatar's Samba.

Karsten Warholm did not have a good race at all. Ezekiel even topped him.
Ezekiel has entered the conversation..
He's had a fantastic season..
Painful he didn't cap it with a medal but he will surely be back!
The next few weeks and months will be interesting in the 400mH

Hé is Moses Simons friend
Personally I don’t wish Simon starts from the left
Sinon doesn’t have killer instincts like Lookman does
The team doesn’t really high press like crazy without Osimhen
Arokodare is a Super Eagles asset
What happened, Dessers switched off.
Is it due to bad pitch or his first time playing in a competitive African game
I actually think Moses has slowed down because of age..
His best games for us was in the last AFCON when he was still in his prime..
He can still offer quality in some games, but not as a starter anymore..
Chelle should come to terms with this..
Moses, Ekong, Ndidi.. these three are past their prime
We have other players that offer more..
We should give them the opportunity

Have u forgotten he’s d captain and he would yield some senior players power in d team…chelle wey just come, u wan make d team scatter for him head …who would have predicted chelle to use Fredrick ahead of him against high tensed Rwanda 🇷🇼 game …I am sure some stuffs happened behind d scenes for him to start ekong

If he had dropped him against South Africa some people would have still criticized him, he did what was good for the team it's just unfortunate things did not go his way.

Did anybody criticized him for dropping Ekong against Rwanda.Frederick has showed him what he can do and remember Ekong was awful against Zimbabwe,so why starting him against South Africa, meaning a player cost him 4 points.Chelle should do better next time.

I don't want SA to qualify likewise Benin
I don't want to put my hopes on our team. Their body language does not show determination. Worse come to worse, let Benin qualify.

Their banter will be in French. E no go pain us since we won't understand alle vous la pais 😂😂 unlike South Africa.

Abi is there something they see that we are not seeing?

Was this not the same Onyedika that balled last night?
Curious!!

Yes. Impressed between the sticks for Bayelsa Utd in the NPFL. Only 19.

Some call him the second coming of Enyeama. Time will tell but yes, the lad is a solid GK talent.

So he is Harcourt's brother. A whopping 4 year age gap.

Exactly, I'm not even a fan of Dessers as I still believe he's just not the quality of striker we need, but that midfield was so flat and uncreative that any striker would have badly struggled.
