.

Baba let's look at Gykores whole game this season,
You sincere thinking this statement is true..
Apart from the fact that Arteta should improve his confidence by more game time.
The various times he had ..he didn't provide what he expected of him.

Let's just wait and see but let's not be clouded by what we think he will deliver by what he actually delivers

He's played significantly less minutes and have been more influential on our attack style than Kai. It's not even Arsenal fans arguing about their faves between the two, it is other clubs now openly saying it daily. If we are biased at home, rival fans that don't wish us well are openly confessing that shows he's doing something right.


Have you seen Kai's positioning this season alone allll games he's played?

Arsenal midfield doesn't need Kai dropping deep to do anything since Bruno arrived. See where he was when Eze ran for that goal. At LB zone!! That's our striker that we need closer to the box. LB zone!!


Both are not at the levels we need them to be(Gyo confidence is low due to restricted game time, but Kai that's playing offers no threat despite the mins. CBs love Kai)

Gyo>>>>>


Harry Kane drops deep and rakes in Assists

Kai drops deep and contribution goes straight to zero zero.

Gyokeres is more important than whatever best version Kai can offer Arsenal when it matters most.

Take it or leave it.

You're right... Not giving us an excuse for not doing well but if you look at this current set.... They are very young

True they are. But even the ones that were "older" still flopped. They couldn't even shoot properly at goal or soak pressure aand string passes. Maybe the master plan is to have at least one player play the tournament twice, so 15yo and 17yo across 2 editions

But that's the more reason to drill and make them even more capable of matching the Asians in quality. We can't again. Gbogbo e kan daaru ni. From male and female side. Flash in the pan levels.

On a family level, empathy fit make one do "understanding Nigerian" but that's not what will make the progress and future secured sha.

Our Flamingos can no longer match Uefa u17 tit for tat like before. Its now these south and central American teams we beat. The Asians left is behind as well. That's a dip in quality even if we want to see them succeed individually.


It reveals the low tactical quality leading these girls. Since Ordega that was just netting for fun at u17 level to what we have now, we have snail progress.

Whatever revamp they're doing at NFF, when it is over, it is high time they reserve these cadet jobs for ex-ints that have the top licenses and experience.

Something i never understood throughout yesterday was how there were ovr 16 crosses to nobody in forest box 18. The person they were crossing to was mostly in the midfield zone, looking at all of them crossing to his ghost.


Wetin muzz me pass na when he begin join them dey cross like winger on both wingers😭😭😭😭😭

And Arteta is expecting 25-30goals from him? Delulu. I find it worrisome that we waited 80mins before we had a shot on target. The down side is Forest had 4. Inference means they were better than our defenders yesternight. And im displeased at that. Or we simply allowed them look better due to our boring approach.

As for this Eze situation, it's both the system and Eze himself. The system has Bruno and Rice and yet Eze still finds it had to flow.

Up next is an Olise-less Bayern. They still got Kimmich and will play their highline. If we love Arteta, he better play Gyokeres and then Merino. But we all know.. sadly.

Is it 1st win or 1st goal at this stadium in 2 years or what?! Omo.

1-0 to the arsenal it is. Make one new igwe just pop up or a Kanu. We need one right now down that RW

Saliba don dey train individually. Grandma, thank you. I can't wait.

Aside this borefest ad Damola tok, i no kon understand werin Konsa and Cala dey play for back

Guys, should we be worried JOE no longer shows her blazing side for the team? Is she playing safe? Im pissed at how Rash situation was handled. Tueh.

Schemerkhiz:
Coach Austin Eguavoen has said in the Press Conference after the game yesterday that he tried convincing Osinachi Ohale not to retire yet, but she refused.

I like as she respect herself before e turn see finish. Even if replacement no dey, i still support this decision she took.

Schemerkhiz:
Like since Desire Oparanozie retirement we have been struggling to get a pure no.9.

A complete one at that…

I wouldn’t mind if they go for Princess Ademiluyi 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I doubt she go wan switch sha. Im still waiting for Nkor as well. I dunno about Janet but we need a rocket launcher 9. Till then Desire remains the last reference.

Schemerkhiz:
NFF needs to pay for therapy for the Super Falcons players who played under Madugu. The trauma, OMG! 😭😭 E go take time to recover.

They better get set with the crew that will handle the game against Morocco 🇲🇦

If the NFF are retaining this crew let it be known now so they can prepare or they’re getting a better Coaching crew..

That man make my Michelle and Rinsola to crode from stadium to bus to hotel. 😐😐😐😐


See how Chiamaka got serious as Eguavoen don dey camp. 😂

I however get pissed at how these ladies shoot. Asif they're u17 girls. Even Ihezuo shot sef despite her power. Compare to how the English ladies shoot and you wonder why thet tag us as more physical. 😂

I miss Plumptre and Desire sha. I hope Nkor brings that aspect back and na only Christy get shot for leg in this entire team.


We need to get it right this time and not experiment again.

Happy for the ladies. I hope they clinch this ticket and get a medal at the Olympics.

Nigerians may not like it but im am prepared for the new phase where na foreign borns go become our new midfield. They have done well in dominating our defence line and have repped well across last decade. Now we transition to midfield next. Soon na attack. That's if we never fix our grassroots tempo to churn out instant fiery monsters like u17 used to

Napoleon55:
Say that most of our tall strikers are not that good except Osimhen and Akor,
don't say that the lanky eagles project should be buried and forgotten, rather to look for more technical ones,is Osimhen not lanky?
Who are those short strikers you think will do better than Osimhen and Akor?
Gift Orban will soon come on board,we will see but every coach will always prefer tall and strong strikers like Halaand and Osimhen.

there's nothing lanky about Osimhen abeg. 8years of experimenting is enough proof it can't work cos within same time frame, shorter forward are scoring headers across the game than tall ones. Until we see a Haaland type, make we forget am abeg. When main strikers no dey they couldn't even help to fill in the gap

Hardrive:
Nigerians on X are just crazy, they know the players that are terrible but can't tell you what needs to change. Initially, it was lookman been Nigeria's best player at last Afcon, now he is $^i+. Chukwueze who is one of AC Milan's best player this season is no longer good for the super eagles etc. Terrible.

Sometimes we need factor in pitch quality as well. These things matter. Not saying it is the main excuse but if such a terrible pitch is in your subconscious as you run on it, e go dey reduce creativity

9JAMac10:
Why do we still call moses Simon up

Centenary celebrations cap. Nothing more. He now has 100 caps for Super Eagles,joining 5 others, Yobo, Enyeama and co

Reckoning
Since 2018, we've had about 6 tall strikers and none have been able to outscore Alex Iwobi and Troost Ekong for almost a decade.


I think it's time to wrap up rhis Experiment where we feel the height will being us cross and nod vibes of the 90s era. It has never worked. Not even as 2nd or 3rd strikers. The lanky eagle project should be buried and forgotten.

I also don't see Chelle trying to adapt a setup to their strengths either. Cos even with grace given by last 3 coaches, na same same.

Feels weird seeing the word euromatch as a pitch banner in npfl game. Legacy of Gusau anyways.

Destroy and then call him to turn fixer with no time so blame deflects

iamoyindamola:
We need to get xhaka back in January
All these our midfielders no sabi throw long passes like him

When i keep saying arteta dey sell to not directly replace, many no grab. Martinelli is now the latest. Tzolis na backup but now expectations go wound that one in no time and Eze can never fill that space.

My own is why are they so clueless to take matters into their own hands when whatever the manager said has blatantly failed? I can list instances even in ucl where a manager's tactics was crap and key players discussed comeback for their badge and got it. I think at the top of such is selflessness and Saka and Odegaard are too culprits. Our last long passes genius was Partey. I missed his services cos this Brighton game needed that particular skillset.

But nothing as seeing the cluelessness on the players while Brighton cut thru as though we had 5 red cards. Shameful!!

MLS go too see mnutes ehn. Chai. We need to solve this shots on target thing alongside scoring steady in first half.

iamoyindamola:
This kaikai is worse

The guy and reliable can never ever be in same sentence. Smh

For Brighton, scoring us is possible. The crux is the state of our attack so far. What's all this?

This should be a goalgoal game but they're unreplied.🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Bruno Saka Kai getat

Mtchewww.

iamoyindamola:
This Saka is becoming too comfortable with his useless play now a days

Remember i tok this thing for last week game even if he use PK cover underwhelming performance.

I might just detach and expect nothing significant from him this season. He's very much comfortable because the idea of the coach for total play trumps the idea of competition for this young man. If i were saka, seeing madueke as my competition, i go laff and be at total ease.


0 shot on target in 45mins......😣😣😣😣😣

Misplaced passes combined 7 between Kai and Saka. Also losing the ball in dangerous areas, thes two again alongside Gabu. What's this?!!

Tzolis is doing okay. The other 2 are useless and should getat out this pitch asap. Like isn't this not already embarrassing enough? Entire fiest half shots is still 1(0)

0 on target. Which kine record be dis?

iamoyindamola:
Saka is useless at this point
I said it allowing them shoot from outside

See the number advantage and yet they netted. No need to enter box. If na we get 3v4 we no go shoot or make the most.

daveP:
Make the match no end with "na we dey ball na dem dey score" abeg. Nothing else will matter if the net is not found.

That's what is currently happening in this game. We need to change approach asap. Kai is useless for this game right now. Smh

iamoyindamola:
Vuscovic is better than him
Spuds just useless

If you say so. Those ones go relegate at this rate. Cos....

We need to shoot once at the edge. This goal suppose come from Tzolis wing. Those guys have prepped badly for Saka wing dynamics

I don't need any dropping deep services in this game abeg. Get into that box jare
