Somebody tell Troost Ekong to use jump ropes like boxers do to improve his footwork, reaction time & pace

I dont expect him to feature at in the play offs. Let him just be in the squad for leadership

afrodoc2:
Sekou Kone is back.

He might go on loan in January.

Good one.
Why is INEOS nlt using NIce the way Chelsea and City are using Girona and Strasbourg to train players. We should be sending some of our under 21s there.

semid4lyfe:
You just reminded me of how that Rwanda defender offed him in our WCQ match in Uyo 😔

Even in training, players get injured.
In fact, its not impossible for his clubmate and Gabonese player, Mario Lemina to off him during club training to prevent him from playing the Gabon game.

Hurdles still plenty for Osimhen to cross before turning out for us on the 13th. Nothing wey person fit do but to be prayerful and hopeful.

God abeg o.

Just weekend Match. Not just him all our key players. Thank God Chukwueze and Onyedika are back from Injury.

123jamessmith:
Please, Sammy Ajayi is not going to play against gabon, due to suspension. Players that have yellow cards in the regular concluded qualifying serious, will they carry the yellow card into the player off.

If we win Gabon he will be eligible to play the next match hence, the invitation

minfelix:
i gallantly highlighted all the games 6 important games Osimhen missed while lookman was fully fit spearheading as the starman/poster boy of the team in those games….Osimhen also scored in the 3-0 match against Benin

Osihmen came from the bench in that match. However, lookman was very important that period for people to come and be shi.tting on him now due to club issues is unfair

solonnachi:
23 man list by Owngoal

When did Moritz Jens become Nigerian Player?

minfelix:

Nigeria 1-1 Lesotho
Zimbabwe 1-1 Nigeria
Benin 2-1 Nigeria
Nigeria 1-1 SA
Nigeria 2-1 Ghana (Lookman scored 1goal here)
Mali 2-0 Nigeria
Lookman played in all these games oo while Osimhen was out injured

You carefully removed the match agaisnt Benin were Lookman scored 2 goals.

MetalJigsaw:
He's not saying Adams is superior.

So if Lookman is superior why shouldnt he start?

semid4lyfe:
Abeg, when squad list go commot? Other countries don dey their release list o.

DR Congo mean business. Three former Belgium youth players don switch to play for them in the WC playoffs. On pape, DR Congo has a better squad than Cameroun and I tip them and Nigeria for the final.

See their full squad for the playoffs

Goalkeepers: Matthieu Epolo (Standard Liege, Belgium), Timothy Fayulu (Noah, Armenia), Lionel Mpasi (Le Havre, France)

Defenders: Rocky Bushiri (Hibernian, Scotland), Gédéon Kalulu (Aris Limassol, Cyprus), Steve Kapuadi (Legia Warsaw, Poland), Joris Kayembe (Racing Genk, Belgium), Arthur Masuaku (Sunderland, England), Chancel Mbemba (Olympique de Marseille, France), Axel Tuanzebe (Burnley, England), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham United, England)

Cameroon that has Carlos Baleba, Frank Zambo Anguisa, Bryan Mbeumo, Etta-Young and Jackson Tchatchoou of Wolves? 🤣🤣. And Onana in goal? As bad as he is, he is good in African standard. He even shut down Osihmen yesterday in Turkish league

kennysville:
At no point did I say we should discard him. If we can get Luku to keep things simple, we will get more results...

In the words of Indians... Simpal....!!!!

There is nothing like keep simple. Allow him to play his game. Anyways Thank God you are not the coach.

Na Lookman you wan bench and play Akor.
Lookman that has transfer issues, immediately he settled with the club they restored him in the starting eleven, he even scored last week.

Samueltemi337:
So Lookman at AFCON killed the momentum of our attack?

Same Lookman that was spearheading our attack scoring goals during AFCON qualifiers is suddenly killing our attack because he didnt score in the last qualification rounds. SMH

kennysville:
Better in the colors of Atalanta or of Nigeria? Cos left to me, the dude kills off the momentum of our Attack and is always glory hunting

Kills which attack? Guy go and take sit with this una agenda. The same Lookman that scored plenty goals and was carrying us when Osihmen was injured. Same Lookman that scored winning goals in AFCON R16 and quaterfinals. Same Look.an that assisted Osihmen only goal in AFCON is killing our attack because Akor scored on his debut agaisnst Lesotho? So if you be coach, if them keep Lookman and Akor for you as option you go bench Lookman? That shows our football knlwlwdge as fans

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Akor in place of lookman.
He should play from bench abeg.
Exactly that team that played benin is what we want..whats wrong with yall

Lookman is far far superior than Akor Adams. We Nigerians should stop being reactionary and think deeply.

Martinez don sell match 🤣🤣

Unpopular opinion and i know a lot of people will criticise me for this. But we should have bought Ekitike who is actually a Man United fan instead of Sesko. Sesko is good and will get better, but Ekitike is more solid and clinical which would have suited our game more.

afrodoc:
We have to beat Spurs next weekend or we will be back in 10th position.

Hmmmn that one go hard o

EPL refs are not consistent, they are terrible. How is that not a red card for gods sake

odizeey:
The only sub I'm pissed that Amorim didn't make is Mount for Sesko. Any other thing is zero.

I was expecting him to make that sub immediately we equalised

afrodoc2:
Na 2 steps forward and 2 steps back. That means i was right about the attitude being all wrong. They stepped up only when it looked like they would lose the game. They went there to win with as little effort as possible instead of coming with the determination to make a statement.

Make e no be like say Cunha is being targeted, but he is focusing on frills over substance.

You know i have been complaining about Cunha since, even before he was signed. His showboating is too much. Even after we equalised he was still joking. And Sesko was just so so poor today. That he finished the match sef is shocking to me

afrodoc2:
I have not seen the goal. I stopped watching after the Forest 2nd goal. No time to waste time this season. If i dey stadium i go walk out.

We suddenly became better after they scored the second. But Sesko was just not good enough up front today if we are being honest. Cunha was still showboating as we were losing. We eqaulised at 81 mins, if he had brought on mount and Maguire(for corners and Fk), we would have won the game. Although Amad nearly won it, their defender cleared off the line in the last minute

afrodoc2:
It is also criminal on the part of both the players and manager to concede 2 goals in 2 minutes like that. I don't know what we need to do to solve this their panic mode that they activate whenever things go bad for them. They need either a psychologist or a spiritualist.

Its not much of a panic. Dalot was just useless as usual for that second goal. And we didnt deal with the aerial threat well. Thats the reason why Amorim starts Maguire at times because he can deal with aerial ball better. We honestly need to solidify our defence, i just dont see how we will not concede against any team.

afrodoc2:
Immediately we scored our goal Cunha and a few of his guys were trying to play cute football.

The lack of application of the players is on the manager sha. Anybody could have predicted that they would approach this game with this kind of attitude, but he did nothing to prevent it, or whatever he did was ineffective.

When Amad equalised, I was expecting him to pull out Sesko for Mount, and Deligt/Shaw for Maguire and try and find a winner. I was shocked heeft thinga that way.

Sesko is not supposed to play 90 minutes. He was awful today

dreamxhaser:
These NF are playing dirty against cunha

He should be releasing ball on time.

Sesko needs to refine his ball control. There are 2 occasions where he should have done better. Same thing against Brighton when Mbeumo set him up.

MRTA7:
He is but I still feel like he does too much.

As in e too de show, even when its not needed

raumdeuter:
He is Italian. The game vs Man Utd he and Dorgu wan kill themselves

2 Naija boys not playing for Naija

From Google he has not been capped by Italy senior team though he played Under aged for them

He is playing the same wing as Ola Aina

Kai we need to convince him. Aina can play LB, moreover Aina is even injured now. The guy was very solid today

andrewbaba44:
Of course he is a Nigerian ,born in Italy

Very good at fiorentina sha ,haven’t followed him much at brentford

Honestly he is balling in Brentford.

Ibime:
He's a RB, we are already covered there but Aina could switch to LB

Honestly if we can get him it will be great. A back four of Kayode, Aina, Fredricks and Bassey is a Solid one, we also need to get one guy I watched yesterday vs Milan in Midfield Akinsamiro. Na like this naim morroco take strong like this oo, seeing as our league don pack up. Na by Foriegn borns now o

AirBere:
Konate's head is in Madrid but if he continues this level of good form, Madrid might not even want his head

When you spend money as a coach, win!

Guehi is free, Madrid can decide to ignore him

Ibime:
Nigerian Italian, signed for only £12m

Wow can we get him for Super Eagles? We desperately need a LB.

Who is this Kayode in Brentford ? Is he a Nigerian 🇳🇬? The guy is cooking Kerkez wetin no good
