Sub out Chukwueze for Simon in order to shut down the threat from Adingra

This ref is a very useless human being

This idea of starting Chukwueze I no too like am but I hope he plays better today. If he tries to be selfish or play like a headless chicken, he should be yanked off ASAP

Curtisaxel17:


Onyemaechi has a future ahead of him. Na Musa own dey more important. Since we insisted on bringing him along, we owe him at least two minutes.

Let him break his appearance record and hopefully retire in peace.

Musa na sure banker as the captain

If we are winning by a good margin in the second half, sub(late sub) in Onyemaechi to kill time and also for him to have a taste of the tournament too.

He is the only outfielder that hasn’t had even a minute of game time

Whenever we are up against top teams I don’t panic.

Before I make a mistake with the time, please what time is the match today, 6 dun knack already nah, yet no show

Guys who wins the golden glove if Nwabali fails to concede today?

We have our eyes on the trophy and that is the priority. Glove is an individual award, and would only be a plus.

The major topic remains the trophy. No distractions because history remembers only the trophy winners 99.9% of the time, not glove or highest goal scorers.

Since that penalty miss, Aina has been so withdrawn. I just hope that didn’t affect him psychologically to the extent of making mistakes today trying to be too careful. He should free his mind and be his usual self in order to give us his best.

I like that boy so much I will love to see AFCON gold medal around his neck today.

Toylove:
Chriskels, what do you think of today’s game
I know you have a bias for the Ivorians

Bias for CIV against Nigeria? Enyi ahu o dikwa gi?

Danielnino00:
So Ibrahim Sangare has Nigerian ancestry through his mother..

That's interesting

The Ivorian-Nigerian Ibrahim Sangare is a business man with an Ivorian dad and a Yoruba mom. He is not same as the N’Forest player.

Mujtahida:
Ekong fit be better coach oo. I might be wrong but I just feel he'd make a good coach

Yea, and he sounds smart when he talks.

Nigeriagood:
lol aina is 27

Can't you see that guy isn't normal? Must you reply to every quote or post? Why can't you guys just treat a psycho the right way he ought to be treated?

forgiveness:


Which kian question bi dis?

Oga, Ndidi will walk into the starting line. Forget story.

To bench who? Zaidu that assisted one of our goals against SA? 😂🤣😂🤣

Unlimited22:

Him and Omeruo might be leaving. We must get Tosin and look for one more capable defender

If we make it to the World Cup, Ekong will be done with us after the World Cup.

Rockyrascal:

Bukayo Saka, Fikayo Tomori, Dominic Solanke, Joshua Zirkzee, tammy Abraham e.t.c. all showing support for the super eagles from the diaspora.

What is special about this? Oga rest abeg

mostob:
When I saw him as the next taker, I shouted. Like why Omeruo of all people? I told the person beside me that na outside stadium Dem go pick the ball. Alas! Baba disappointed me. The PK was too cold. He made Willy Willy sit down and drink water.

He killed my moral completely when the camera zoomed in to show his face and he looked like he was muttering some words and looked confused and jittery. I said to myself who chose Omeruo to take pk, omo the guy come disappoint me oo 😂🤣😂

ChrisKels:
Where will Ndidi play when he comes back?

Onyeka is now the most important player in our midfield. If we maintain this system, who sits between Ndidi and Iwobi?

Emeka

Eze own too pain u I knw but one thing u should hv at the back of your mind is that we can’t and will never hv them all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Their is no harm in trying and the football house and coach should be relaxed waiting for these kids to beg first before been considered for a call up

I just wish the current nff chairman and jpes will be aggressive in getting these kids just the way Pinnick and rohr were during their time.

For fücks sake when this mugu was a nobody without a club we gave him a sense of belonging and encouraged him by bringing him to train with our big boys, and this anuofia turned around to shit on us when we needed him. Aswear I don’t wish him well. Others no pain me one bit, but that ingrate called Eze can go to hell.

Unlimited22:

Who be the Mbaise brother? 😂😂😂

That sell out called Ebere Eze

charlesemeka85:
na that aina I been think self for score one of the best pk last night 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My guy fall my hand no be small 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The two players I had my coin on were Moffi and Iheanacho. I was skeptical when Ekong stepped up because I felt Ronwen Williams could get his prediction right as they were familiar foes, just as Nwabali did Mokoena.

charlesemeka85:
why do u like doubting all the time?😳😜

Man of lil faith 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


If the nff push for the kid we will get him I believe. His dad wants him to play for Nigeria.

If you ain’t born and bred here, I don’t count you, until you show you wanna be one of us.

Yes, Tammy’s dad also wanted him to play for Nigeria, same as Saka’s dad. Your brother from Mbaise has thought me a lesson, I will never get my hope high on any player born abroad again.

charlesemeka85:
among all that scored their pk na omeruo surprise me pass

Baba too good for pk I no even knw 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I expected Omeruo and Aina to miss. Aina is too skillful and anxious to be a PK taker.

charlesemeka85:
the teams performance and current momentum will lure a lot of them to us only if the nff will act fast

One of the most important amongst them is the young Lecce left back Dorgu. That kid is the new Alphonso Davies

If we get Dorgu(which I doubt), then our LB is sorted for years. I’m not putting my mind to it. The most feasible addition in that defensive set up is Adarabioyo.

comodo:

The funniest part of the whole drama is that the part in Rivers say they ain't igbos anymore. But the share cow meat as umunna with their brothers at the other divide.

Na oil cause am. They know who they are, and will always be, unlike the Ikwerres

Where will Ndidi play when he comes back?

Onyeka is now the most important player in our midfield. If we maintain this system, who sits between Ndidi and Iwobi?

An epitome of confidence. This guy handles his defenders and encourages his players as though he was their guardian. Well, yea he guards their post. Dude acts so mature and he is full of presence. His aura is so superb and it is hard to believe he is just a new member of the team.

Those of you saying we missed Zaidu yesterday I guess you guys were watching the back of your TV sets. How was he missed? Did the SA threaten through our left or were we found wanting defending from our left side? What was that that was missed about Zaidu, his crosses? Did you guys see how delicious Aina crosses were and his neat tackles inside our box? We didn’t miss him. We only missed Aina on the RWB position. SA attacked more through the middle with long balls trying to catch our centre backs flat footed.

Did you know that the two players(Iheanacho and Nwabali) who decided our PK fate yesterday are from same village but different states? Lol funny right? They are both from Egbema. A village cut into two halves in the name of state creation. One half in Imo and other to Rivers.

Egbema boys madi oo!!

Joebie:
Torunarigha is not an upgrade to any of our starters. I am hoping Tosin will come in. Udoukhai as well.

Even if Uduokhai comes I won’t bank on him because he is injury prone. I think Akpoguma deserves another chance especially in this system.
