BankyGee:
But they came for someone saying the same thing on Wednesday na. The coach just confirmed what the guy was saying that day.

Make them no sha stress Lookman for me.

thank you

comodo:
They will come for your head. In their language. A strikers job is just to score goals.
But this one na him coach talk am. So per adventure they get someone that puts more defensive shifts. Guyman go chop bench straight.

you dey mind them.

I remember mentioning this in their match against club brugge that lookman needs to work on his defensive shift, some monikers felt I was being biased. Football is not emotional.
Constructive criticism is there to bring out the best in our players.

[quote author=Damioduso1 post=138531046][/quote]it will like a thief in the night. It will shock everyone. What we truly know is that we must have a verdict
QED.

lbrichman2:
It's a tifo Galatasaray are doing for Osimhen..
You know he talked about how he lost his mum at an early age..

This club is smart...
They don emotionally tie Osimhen to them..
Because of this gesture alone, I don't think Osimhen will leave this summer..
He may likely stay at least one more season..

even if na you bro?so thoughtful and emotional. this club just tied osihmen. It's clear they are so happy with him. And Baba is not losing sweat giving them his all on the field of play.

SymphonyRad:
Uganda isn't Morocco
He had a good game against Uganda because he had more time on the ball which suits his style of play...Ndidi was missed in the role Onyedika played against Morocco cause Ndidi is a destroyer, press resistant and is more physically dominant. Onyedika isn't that type of player and that was why he was overrun by the Moroccan press. Watch Onyedika in the role he plays at Brugge and you will know what I'm talking about.

absolutely correct. Even few times A. Madrid pressed hard , he gave out the ball in dangerous position. Attacking wise and controlling the game the guy is very smooth. He will need people to be doing the dirty work like stankovic

forgiveness:
What did Athletico do when he was removed?

You only focused on one part leaving his holdup play, passes and goal.

The Club Bruges were dominant against this Athletico. What do you expect? Magic!!

They pressed from start to finish forcing Athletico to commit errors. Despite that Lookman hardly lost the ball.

Another thing is, Lookman was not tasked to press.

He was behind the front layer of the 2 attacker on the left flank.

nah , his hold up play today was not that good. A lot of times they collected the ball from him. Besides if you watched the game well, when they are defending , he doesn't go wide to cover for the left back. And even Diego simeone had to call his attention to that in the first half . Let's end this talk. I just said what I observed. It will be good if he works on that defensive alertness. It will help him and the national team.

mrwilliams9:
Lookman’s defensive qualities are lacking, this is known.

He should be playing in a two-man strike force not as a LM as he did today.

He should play next to Alvarez, Grizzou or Sorloth.

exactly

minfelix:
Baba our top player Osimehn was missing against Morocco in Afcon 2025 and against CIV in Afcon 2023

Sometimes top player sef dey jonz…Lookman first game against real betis was marvelous display from beginning to the end…Lookman is a top player he doesn’t need to atleast perform at every point

I agree

minfelix:
if he does well you will praise him, if he doesn’t he is overhyped….now see as you dragged Osimhen into comparison with Lookman….how can you call Lookman Overhyped?….shey dem baptize una with water of comparisons ni?….una no go allow Osimehn and Lookman play ball niiii…abi kilode gam sef!!

You people should be happy we have two world class attacker in super eagles doing well in their clubs amd not all this yeye comparison

Must Lookman hustle like Jackie like Osimhen?…na everybody go dey gidigbolize football?…Lookman is not Overhyped, he is a world class winger/attacker playing for Athletico Madrid, Same as Osimhen is a world class player…

Make una no dey expect Lookman to play like Osimhen and Osimhen to play like Lookman….

How do expect Victor moses to play like Emenike and Emenike playing like Victor Moses

honestly maybe the over hyped was not the right word. You are over stressing this. I said MAY
even in those games you can actually see the runs of osihmen (I don't want to compare) all I am saying is that a player must adapt. Lookman is poor when it comes to defensive shift. It was evident today reason he was removed.

DrYa:
Rest please

noted. I don't watch games with bias. If the guy does well , of course I go praise am wella.

Odunayaw:
You were not warned to not overdose?

lool. The one you gave me right? 😂😂😂😂😂.mtcheew shift

GMBOFASIA:
I am watching the game not all player has the lungs to press for a player who is new to the club 5GA in 5games over hyped Nawa o

of course, nice stats. You can see that even in first half , he was not strategic with his marking. Diego simeon was very right to remove him . A top player ha s to at least perform at every point. His lapses cause most of the attack from club brugge. I am talking about eye test here.

GMBOFASIA:
apoty winner overhyped 🤔 ok o

you are not watching the game
The guy is so poor in this game. I said MAY. I am not comparing but if you watch osihmen , you will find him had to remove him because of how he works for the team. Today lookman wasn't it. Forget the goal

Omo ademola may be over hyped. He doesn't press well at all. So lax in this game. Good he was yanked off. I see why some players will still be in super eagles. People like Simon especially when you need that defensive shift

Karlovych:
Did FIFA not clear them to play for Nigeria? Did Nigeria just give them a call and capped them? Wasn't Alebiosu simply called up because he played no youth games for England

Someone mentioned that this guy doesn't sound intelligent and honestly it's reflecting . How could you even bring up this ? It shows you clearly doesn't even understand what is going on

If you were sound enough, at least you would have brought up Ashely plumptre issue when we won last WAFCON and the Moroccans filed a case against her eligibility

Omo I advice everyone to avoid this guy for your sanity. You cannot school madman.

It's clear most people here don't know how FIFA works.

Actually , the verdict of that case will be communicated to the respective FAs not all these nonsense from social media
When the verdict comes, the FAs will be the one to tell you.

For now all those things you are referring to are all fakes

elyte89:
Ur last part sums it up and I understand perfectly that we re used to “cheating” by our leaders..cos if not , I c no reason y a sensible person would c a cheat and allow it to slide .

Look at the Senegalese 🇸🇳, Dey fought for their right and stood against dt biased penalty call ,what we couldn’t do dt denied us a ticket to the finals

honestly bro

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Procashtips:
They beat serious teams to win the world cup ticket.

Why didn't we win those yeye teams they gave us during qualifiers?

honestly nobody is denying this fact. You are absolutely correct. But you can't also blame the NFf , for taking the risk to expose the obvious that others failed to . Mind you, Ghana won us , we didn't complain

If they are caught, and the punishment is to disqualify them from participating, how does it make Nigeria lesser?

Let's allow FIFA to do their part.

Honestly ,I no understand some Nigerians.

Karlovych:
Look at you, comparing Nsue's case to Congo

this guy , you are truly funny. Its clear you didn't understand what I was pointing you to. Anyway I can't engage you. You have already made up your mind to follow status quo. If there is one thing I will appreciate about this NFF, Is that confidence to take the risk .

If Nigeria win this case , this guy fit die 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is severely pained . So sorry about that.

No

Procashtips:
Stale or not, it's still valid.

Make una move on.

Nobi only una Dr Congo played against all through the qualifiers.

Didn't Dr Congo get beaten fair and square by other teams in the Nations Cup with their so called 'ineligible' players.

Abeg make we move on and start winning games when they matter.

it clearly shows you are allowing sentiments to becloud your reasoning . It also butteress the fact that you just watch only football without understanding the rules . That something is wrong doesn't make it right due to longevity or people falling to reveal the obvious.do you know the story of EMILIA NSUE(though not similar to this case)
If Dr CONGO isn't finally sanctioned (which I doubt), it doesn't take away the fact that countries will not learn from this case. It's not about Nigeria , it's about wining both in and out of the field. Beside it seems you are not comfortable with doing things right .

Franktom247:
Is he a CB or RB

he is a central back . I am also expecting players like Jayden meghoma and Gibson yah(though he is currently injured).

Karlovych:
The content creators and influencers with insiders at FIFA, February 16 has come and gone without any verdict.

The NFF and their agbado lawyers should continue disgracing themselves

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You are the biggest content creator. You should be really perturbed that the decision wasn't made yesterday. That would have tilted it to Dr CONGO.
FiFA still delaying this decision means that Nigeria presented a very strong case against Congo. It even solidifies the fact that is unlikely in Congo's favour. Just pray Congo is not banned sha. This case will open up a lot of things about players nationality switch in Africa.
Keep dreaming content creator

TheSuperNerd:
De Zerbi shaa. He listed Nnadi in a 23 man list for the game. But his matchday squad has 20 players only. 11 starting. 9 on the bench. 3 out of matchday squad which includes Nnadi, who is not injured.

Not a good look at this point but I hope it changes.

Exactly

TheSuperNerd:
Not the La Liga debut Lookman hoped for but we go again. Betis are no slouches.

Yea, pellegrini really did his homework. They were ultra defensive today. This was a team that attacks prior to that 5-0 dumping. The man needed to save his face 😂😂😂. Well the goal was just individual brillance plus luck.

The tochukwu nnadi guy is not on match day squad

P

ChrisKels:
I'm seeing a possibility. I have a feeling Chelle didn't go to Marseille because of only Nnadi. He and Nwaneri must have met off the camera.

you are in the spirit . Once they leave England the probability becomes higher

Goke7:
See Congo roasting Botswana 4-0

e be like Senegal Vs Morocco. Congo is now top on the table
. Wow

lbrichman2:
Bashiru was unplayable abeg!!
Proper midfield display

We didn't miss Iwobi, Ndidi or Onyeka at all!

💯💯💯💯

I for like see Akinsanmiro. But he chance will come. I was thinking he will come in for bashiru. Though bashiru was excellent today

Who noticed uzoho was distributing the ball today well. I feel confident the way he was handling the ball than nwabali ( not crucifying the dude though) but there is this arrogance that comes when he is with the ball. Unnecessary delays.

Hardrive:
We might be in trouble in the next round if the pattern of substitution remains the same. The coach is expected to make like for like changes. I keep saying it that the setup must remain the same from beginning till the end.

Always have 2 STRIKERS ON THE PITCH at all times, when that happens no striker tires out , no injuries, more goal scoring options and most importantly, the tempo never drops. A good team might capitalize on this and knock us out.

The coach needs to do better in this aspect. This message must get to the coach. If anyone here has the means to do so please do.

I don't understand you ooo. I think he was right today . Bringing a midfielder helped us control the game. Forget the goal, it was a transient loss of concentration from our defenders. But sincerely , igoh awaziem pair can never work. I like alebiosu. All he needs now is master the ruggedness that comes with African football
