Azeez should be made to play in the same position he plays at his club side. He will be more effective that way.

Moffi is proven. I will like to see more of Durosimi.

Nwaiwu is the man. Ogbu is good too, and it is about time he came to France, Spain, Germany or Italy.

Obere is combative and he looks so young. I like his game and I hope next season he will be a regular starter for Marseille.

If Alhassan could maintain this standard, I would rather him than Onyedika. He also needs to move back to Europe.

Otele impressed me the times I watched him. To me, besides the goals, he was more imposing than Azeez was.

I like Okonkwo's confidence yesterday. By the way, was the pitch too short or is Okonkwo such a long ranger?

highlights of the last game Nigeria played at the World Cup

E no go better for that referee.

Papi85:
🔵 Terem Moffi in talks with ESTAC?

Troyes is taking a close interest in the Nigerian striker 🇳🇬.
Loaned with an option to buy to FC Porto by Nice, the player's future remains uncertain.

Partizan Belgrade is also reportedly interested.

Just one single poor decision and a once burgeoning career is already facing a nosedive.

How a sane person dumped Marseille for Nice remains unfathomable to me till date.

Is he Africa's best goalkeeper in Europe this season? 🤔

SymphonyRad:
Noah Atubolu should better go learn how to turn Amala cause Germany ain't looking his way.

That was a bad day in the office. Atubolu is good and will get his chance once Neuer leaves after the world cup.

I wish to have him play for Nigeria though.

BankyGee:
Here we go say make the player don get 3 children fess before he fit make debut.

We had Iwobi, Iheanacho etc.

Now, we have Zadok.

If you are good enough, Nigeria doesn't look away, especially if you are doing it at the highest level.

Bara is not the only young Senegalese player doing well today but he was chosen because he does it at Bayern, and Senegal doesn't have that luxury of stars in the position Bara plays.

This b.s.t called Gusau will go down in history as the worst NFF president ever.

Na now this thing dun begin pain me. Why in God's name did he allow SA to play their away games at home and also allow them move our last match against SA to a pitch not worthy of hosting a match? Pinnick wouldn't have allowed this, though I still blame him for imposing this slowpoke on the NFF.

How much did these people pay this edeot for goodness sake?

Ola Aina is one of my favorite players and sometimes I fear that injury caused by that SA poor pitch has ruined his career. 😡

TheSuperNerd:
Super Eagles welcome Arthur Okonkwo... Unity Cup Locked in✅️

Not a bad option for the third choice position, but he will have to prove he is better than Uzoho.

Papi85:
Turkish club Trapzonspor wants €40m for Chibuike Nwaiwu

Fulham and Bayer Leverkusen interested

They are greedy. I hope they lower it so that the boy can go.

Bassey
Benjamin
Nwaiwu
Fernandez
Igoh Ogbu
Akpe

We are covered in this department.

I know it's just a mistake, but it's one of the reasons I'm still not sold on Okoye..

Yes I agree he should start as long as Nwabali remains in Limbo, but I pray Nwabali sorts out his club situation fast and sends Okoye back where he belongs abeg..

What a dumb take. Which yeye mistake? Do you realize that was a reflex save from a close range shot? You expected him to put direction on a reflex save? What were the defenders doing, especially the one who lost the ball and was slow to track back? Dude quit talking football because you suck at it.

It won't be bad if we approach this boy since Japan isn't looking his way.

Japan has quality goalkeepers, even Zion Suzuki is their third choice.

At 25, Leo will be eager to taste senior national team football and we might just get him if we make an approach.

TheSuperNerd:
The first U20 List of the Maikaba tenure is here... according to @MikeThePundit

🚨BREAKING: Maikaba invites 35 players to camp as Flying Eagles begin preparations for WAFU B tourney

In the list are three goalkeepers, 10 defenders, 11 midfielders and 11 forwards.
 
All invited players are expected to report to camp in Abuja on Saturday, 16th May.

Simon Cletus is on the list.

Tomorrow we will be wondering why we no longer qualify for world cup. See names nah

TheSuperNerd:
Maduka Okoye secured his 10th Serie A Cleansheet today! Udinese beat Cagliari 2-0 away with Okoye putting up 3 good saves.

His first double figure cleansheet in a single league campaign at a Big 5 Euro League. Massive.

Some people wanted this boy to sacrifice his career just to please them.

I'm glad Chelle knows better, and that decision is paying off now.

Big ups nwa Nkanu!!

Ladies and gentlemen, David Ozoh!pic.twitter.com/ySqUVXX8bj

! This is my kind of midfielder oo, if this little clip is anything to go by. Plays like Mubarak Wakaso, one of the Ghanaian midfielders I loved watching. Same type of player as Gibson Yah. I love my men strong and bullish.


A synergy with Nwannadi in the midfield looks mouthwatering.

Is this David Ozoh really good enough?

Well, time shall tell.

Kog45:
@Chriskels,Nnadi should thank his star or else Beye would have said he is a bad market....these are the issues some of our players faces in their careers

Yes, you are right. Hopefully, he will start in all the remaining matches for the club this season.

A section of Marseille fans are angry that it took the coaches this long to play a player that they now view as Makelele regen. They said he is the strongest midfielder in their team and that their team would have faired better if he has been a starter long ago.

TheSuperNerd:
Zadok Yohanna completed 5 dribbles, had 2 shots on targets saved including a 90+5 min strike, made 2 accurate crosses, had 7 defensive contributions and won 9 duels but it was not enough to prevent a 2nd consecutive league loss for AIK.

AIK fell 1-0 to Malmo despite dominating the game.

Nwaiwu and Onuachu fell 1-2 away at Konyaspor.

Nice one.

SolaFide:
Very soon, he will be an eagle.

He is actually not a Nigerian.

TheSuperNerd:
Seen the lad. Fairly decent but I dont certify him ready at this point. Same as Samuel Isife who is even doing it at a better side in same Czech Liga. Alebiosu is levels above both for now.
There is also the question of his versatility. Is he more comfortable as a LB or a RB/RWB? (RWB is majorly what he plays at Pardubice unlike LB which he executed in Sweden's 2nd tier).

I give him within 8months to a year and a half to finally come into it as one being considered for serious action with the senior NT, provided he makes the jump from Pardubice.

The boy looks the path and top leagues are taking notice.

Abi Zadok no play during the weekend, I have been waiting for updates? 🤔

Why bother too much about Kayode who isn't too sure where his heart lies, when you have a homegrown talent like Emmanuel Godwin? 🤔
