According to owngoal, Bassey has been moved to left back, Semi to partner Ekong. We will play 443(formation).

442 u mean??. If this man was not sure of his CB pairings, why wasnt Igho Ogbu called up Or he wants to tell us that making Europa team is a walk in the park??

Wake me up when they give Dangote repayment plan. If not, can we stop these distractions.

DaddyJapan:
You do realise that Rwanda has endured a pogrom (1960s) and as well a genocide (1994) right?
I am afraid matters are no where near as simple as you present here.

By the way, Somalia used to be regarded as a monolithic nation of related clans (much to the chagrin of its Bantu population which continues to suffer from cultural discrimination). Yet you have to ask yourself; when last did that nation experience peace?

Somalia case na terrorism from one religion.

From all indications. Considering the injuries to the team & the ball watching nature of our CB's coupled with the confidence issues of the GK. I'll go with 4-2-3-1. Double pivot of Onyeka & Onyedika. That way ill be sure that I have bodies at the back & MF. My opinion tho.

Mujtahida:
He overloads the attack because he's not a confident coach so him go wan rush you with everything. Because he knows his middle is soft and the longer the game drags, the easier it becomes for the team flaws to show.

Our opponents will use Lesotho and Zim playbook. Simple. Defend in numbers and use Route 1 if opportunity comes.

Curtisaxel10:
OGN reports Sadiq Umar is injured. As it stands, only Osimhen is available to play CF tomorrow.

This means the coach can't play 4-4-2. Has to be 4-3-3 with Osimhen as lone striker.

Musa would probably need to come in for Osimhen at the CF position in the second half. Let's hope he still has it in him.

Better still 4-2-3-1. Because I know the opponent will copy the same playbook of Lesotho and Zim

Peseiro went to Sokoto dey find wetin no lost cuz the thing dey inside his sokoto(trouser's pocket)

Stanley is not better than very young Christian Nwoke.....there is no way Nwoke would be in camp and Uzoho would be number one.

PS played a fast one by replacing Nwoke with Ojo. But na here we dey.

This government will break the Nigeria's Looting world record. Mark it.

Make una wake me up when people starts getting 1000yrs imprisonment. If after all these she only gets a slap in the palm, then it mean nothing. It's same o same o. Nothing new.

Brace up gentlemen and Ladies. If what I am hearing is correct. Uzoho is ur Goalkeeper. He is the top dog. Nwabali was used against Guinea. The verdict is that he has not displaced Uzoho and Ojo is not a competitor

MEERLEEQ:
posters should always check spellings of what they post.

Pls let the OP be. Will you call that NTA thing transmission??
Anyways pray tell that APC doesn't have any function on match day.

Simple thing. Call up 27 players the stubborn man no gree. He wanted to shift blame to NFF, dem don kukuma comot hand early enough. Now we may end up with just 23 players. I really doubt if any club will release any player now.
Rangers will not release Dessers cos they are chasing the title. Montpelier will not release Akom and neither Ajax. We may be lucky if we get Orban.

Icon4s:
Egbon, we know you have followed Nigerian National team for so long to understand that we don't usually do well in friendlies leading to major tournaments. The result against Guinea has not changed my expectations for this team. It is not about blind patriotism. Forget about the recent set-backs, we know what this team is capable of.

Before now, SE always show what they are capable of during the qualifying matches. At least one can see the pattern. From westerhorf to Rohr. Even Sia 1 played a possesive game. Keshi always dominate his opponents. Rohr plays counter attack more.
What do we know about Peseiro team. Nothing. A team that once the opponent defend in numbers that's the end. And once they concede, it's game over. My bro if ur defence is not tight and ur MF is always over ran. That's a recipe for disaster in waiting.

forgiveness:
Typo. Not this week. Recently

Hahahahaaa. U don dodge bullet. But u deserve L shaa. I don try the autocorrect. Week no show Recently.

From the time of Aboubacar Titi Camara. Guinea has never been a push over. I heard Ps saying that his MF was over ran. This is just the beginning. Pls can someone just tell the man that not only will his MF be over ran in the tourney but they will also be fatigued and God forbid they get injured in the process.

Meliforme:
You are the one denying the obvious. Go watch Ejuke against Barcelona in the UCL.

Like u want to reverse him. He watches future games.

Anyways my worry is that pms is #700 and will likely end in #1200/ liter. We are busy discussing Obi. A typical case of the proverbial man whose house was on fire and he was busy chasing rats.
When d time comes ya all will echo in unison 'E bi mpa wa oh'!!!

Sugarboyy:
My brother, them wan use lies kill us for this thread.
Every one of them claiming to have watched players not playing in the top 5 leagues, then you ask yourself, where are the watching these guys?
I have DStv both in my home and my office and DStv doesn't shows league matches except it's from EPL, La liga, Serial A, and the choose important matches in other top countries(mostly Eredivisie) to show on ESPN. This season, DStv has never showed Royal Antwerp match, so where are these guys watching players like Ejuke in a 90min matches when it's not the UCL, EUL or the ECL?

Funny enough, the league has been on winter break since 23rd Dec. That was the last game day for Royal Antwerp. So my thinking is that he lives in the future.

forgiveness:
Oga, I watched him this week.

Abeg bro. Which Antwerp game did u watch this week??
Be like u live in d future. Just Sama me the correct score. Forget wetin I wan use am do.

Marjoribanks:
Maybe or Maybenot! We shall know in few days time!
Nevertheless! A team with Iwobi, Bassey, Zaidu, Aina, Onyeka, Onyedika, Aribo, Boniface, Lookman, Chukwueze, Simon, Ajayi, Bruno, Osayi, Kelechi and the current APOTY is one of the most formidable team any African country will face!

Nigerians have nothing to be anxious about! The Super Eagles will deliver!

My prayer is they all stay fit!!

My prayers is that the auto reverse mode which the country is in should not affect the team. Shikena.

Marjoribanks:
Boniface injured! Doubtful for AFCON!
KELECHI doubful also!
Osimhen self is injury prone! Wahala!

I no wan talk now. Na when a lynchpin in the MF gets injured and I see that low budget coach dey put hand for waist for touchline because him no get anyone to replace am like Keshi for 2014. Na dat time I go talk. A

Oasis007:


Wetin fit make am un-weak?! LOL!

Bro nothing. We have been with this same MF all the while. I have seen different combinations of these personnel. I already know that they are not capable of winning any MF battle unless Yusuf and to some extent Onyedika brings something different. Just expect to see ball pinging from defence to the attackers. Truth is I have not seen a match we dominated the MF play and dictated the tempo of the game with them.
I miss Mikel & Vic mo.

AbuTwins:
We ask Allah for safety 🦺 and protection!

State and community policing is needed!

Their brothers who are soldiers and policemen are in SE forcing passengers to alight from their vehicles and trek across their "extortion " check points. A case of a proverbial Okorie whose house was on fire and he was busy chasing rats.

And the man MNK said it a long time ago that Somalia will be a child's play. He told them that as they gather and move as soldiers to SE, their ancestral lands will be overtaken one by one. And it is happening before our very eyes.

charlesemeka85:
Rohr should be blamed to a certain extend but if eze wanted to truly rep us he would hv done that even when he was in the championship

in the England u20 team he dished us for he wasn’t even a regular/starter

Also his body language in games makes me believe he won’t be fully committed to the course if he switched to us. Watching him play for Palace sometimes he seems unserious and nonchalant

Olise is a better talent than eze and aside salah he is the best RW in the epl currently

Even Chelsea’s chukwuemeka is better than eze

Correct, he is always strolling most times. Olise puts more energy in his game than Eze

charlesemeka85:
I thought Michael Olise will be in the Algerian afcon team after all the panic and frustration that he is about switching to the desert warriors

Don't mind that one and even Eze with others dem my heart is with the 3lions. Watch how they will switch their heart, liver and kidney after they are not picked for euros.

komekn:
Nobody talking about Fisayo Dele-Bashiru ,with current player's available he should have been on the list.

Alhassan is not on Fisayo level.

A DM was injured and you want him to be replaced with an AM Question you should ask coach is why he picked only 5MF when he can go with 6 or 7. Fisayo will be an option if either Iwobi or Aribo is ruled out.

Daninya33:
If Jpes has listed a 27 man squad with Alhassan Yusuf and Nwakali listed,
With the injuries of Ndidi and Iheanancho, Players like Daga,Moffi,Dele Bashiru would have been given a look in.

Frank Onyeka seems set to play alongside Iwobi in midfield.

If Nigeria does well,it will boil down to the brilliance of the players and not Jpes tactical acumen and brilliance.
Jpes with his outdated 4-4-2 formation

I don't have any expectation for the SE.

If they do well, fine
If they don't,it is expected

NFF is our major problem.

I will rather have Jpes fail to get to the semi finals and then gets fired
Than hay him get to the semifinals and then fails to get us to the world cup.

We don't need such a coach coaching the Super Eagles...

X ray of the MF shows that Iwobi is the only creative spark. Its either iwobi with onyeka or Iwobi & Onyedika. Then if iwobi is removed from the equation nko. Maybe he will throw Boniface into the position. But it won't be a bad idea playing 4:2:3:1. That way Onyedika/Onyeka& Alhassan @ the base with Iwobi @ the tip just like Keshi did. I think this will give us more solidity all round. My thinking tho. This 442 is a recipe for disaster.

https://owngoalnigeria.com/2024/01/02/exclusive-peseiro-lines-up-two-major-additions-to-super-eagles-squad-for-afcon/

Peseiro I beg u in d name of Sango. Carry 7mf go this AFCON. Na only MF u no get like for like replacement. There is no insurance even on Frank Onyeka oh. I don talk finish. I hope we no go say had we gone with this player or that one.

AndSunGorilla:
Ndidi wasn't listed today for Leicester, same for Iheanacho, hope they aren't injured. Also, I think Ndidi needs to be managed because of his injury history. Also Onyeka too is injury prone, I pray we don't run into an issue of having some of our MFs injured during the tournament.

For me. We are going to AFCON with 2MF, iwobi & Onyedika. Others & injury are next door neighbours. I don't know why Jpe's wants 5mf when he can go with 7. I just pray we don't live to regret this. I still remember the look on mikels face in 2014 mundial when they stretched Onazi out and he stood hands akimbo watching who was on the sidelines. Victor moses was even played as AM in Keshis 4,2,3,1 formation.

IDENNAA:
He has not impressed in the SE colors to the expectations people have of him. He needs to be more committed.

Coach should be bold to play him in the same position he plays for his club, you will see him deliver.
