Longevity Troost


To Imagine that Local coach almost bundled him off with silliest remarks/analysis of abilities, is one for big vex.

Now he's the heart of this team. Respect and Regard, while doing primary duty without his long lost partner in crime, Leon Balogun of the Oyinbo Wall.

And here he is, still playing so well at this level, a fans favorite.

Local coaches need to upgrade their Analysis caps tbvh. Especially for FBs.

I pray he wraps it up with that AFCON in the bag.

ChrisKels:
Lol this guy sef

lets. Just say the Balon d'or will return to EPL boys till further notice.

Haaland especially. Cos all these guys we dey look up to dey fall hand big time with nonsense acts.

Lile what does he mean by that?

SamueItem337:
ChatGPT has predicted the next 10 FIFA World Cup winners. 🤣🤣🤣

Robot just wan do inclusivity and add Africa team😂😂😂😂

ChrisKels:
At 27, Iwobi already has 81 caps for Nigeria. From the look of things, he can still give us another 6 solid years.

Between now and next world cup, all he need is at least 8goals more to enter top SE goalscorers. I guess he's the one most impacted otherwise from Rohr departure. I need his goalscoring back. Dunno why the drought. Unless he's restraining himself.

Mujtahida:
We don't score corners, we don't score free kicks. Last goal by corner should be the WCQ game against Cameroun. Last free kick was Etebo against Lesotho

We need all advantages on deck right now. The reservation of energy would skyrocket if we are getting goals from setpieces. I dunno who's our best 30yrs free kick taker at this rate. Our Cornerkick takers look perfect already but the setup is wack. We need structure for these things mehn.

Emmy450:
before the goal, some people where clamouring for another coach oh, foreign Coach to be precised 🙃

They aren't wrong in their clamoring. We need stability to get the WCQ process a smooth one and not any funny outcomes like in 2022. But at this rate, i won't be surprised AE gets the job for the AFCON tournament.

I won't have this Iwobi slander on TL. Bashiru goal not go allow me stoop so low abeg.

TheSuperNerd:
Nigeria vs Libya Stats speak!

Time wasting Knights of the Mediterranean

158 of their 217 passes was done in their own half. Only 59 of their passes was done in our half. Haram football!!!! Elyte89 see your people

Omo. Na pure haram football. But once again, we need to be doing better. Let's hire setpieces coach even if na elyte. 6 corners and none was treating atall.

We need to convert 1/3. We really need work in that aspect. CKs threat reduces whenever it's not Osimhen in the XI.

All twale to the proactive approach of Austin Eguavoen in this game. Man was not having any wastefulness and tactless mode. Also great thinking for bringing Semi in. That's how to do it. 💯💯💯

Shegzdave:
He should just gerrout

Asin...

Subzerooo:
Moses Simon man of the match

Well deserved. He created half a dozen big chances that i saw, plus his goal. If his teammates were more clinical, he would have bagged a hattrick of assists tonight.

Odunayaw:
Chuks hasn't learnt the art of bodyfeint. He tries to do with the legs what he could do with just a bodyfeint

He needs to keep things simple. It's annoying at this rate. We complained about Simon until he started doing simple stuff that make fans appreciate his simple but impactful approach. Kudos to him for spotting the ummarked Bashiru. Chuks can never.


Also, big kudos to Bash for using just a touch to make the difference. I can count 6 players in the game today that can't do that one touch to shoot.

See the time wasting Libyans rushing to complain about time.😂😂😂😂

Subzerooo:
Nwabali is repaying the favour

Loving it

Shegzdave:
Exactly
That guy is annoying

See how simple Simon does his stuff? Chuks can never learn that to add to his game. So annoying.

Setaleonoz:
If dem nor kpai one libya player the rest go stop

10mins extra minutes at least

Shegzdave:
Bro
Them suppose knock brain into Chukwuwze

What's the essence of being big when the slightest of chances you can't make it count? Yet, that was a biggggg chance. Mtchew

See the reason why i will continue to level down on Chukwueze? Just shoot and if rebound dey na Boniface e go land. This guy deserves benching till he comes to his senses. This is football not preferred-legball.

Wetin Ejuke carry for head so?

lbrichman2:
Imagine collecting yellow card for time wasting inside first half
🤣🤣

Na hin kind we suppose dey ruthless with. Too bold and silly.😂😂

We fit see red for 2nd for hin hand. The North African time wasting strategy don old.

maidaboi:
Exactly if they removing any midfielder for Raphael it should be him and not Ndidi cos Ndidi is playing well

Ndidi that will soon tire out?

lbrichman2:
Exactly what I think

I've seen 6 chances for shots near the arch in this 1st half and only 1. Let's stretch this comfy goalie and then use cross and nod as follow up next. He'll get tired of diving. Guy's too comfy for my liking.


These ones are here to draw obviously.

We need to switch to a 3man defense abeg. These Libyans are wack. They're not even fast either. Painful we have done everything here but no goal. We need hotter shots on goal. Sting someone wey wan block road like dem Rigobert song shots. Must be get the goal inside the box ni?

Beautiful play by Lookman and Onyeka.

CornOak:
That was a clear penalty for Nigeria.

The speed the ref showed in turning away rather than look it or try consider it drained me. Where is var? What's wrong with CAF sef?

QuietBoyfriend:
The coach should not include Chukwueze in the starting eleven.

My expected lineup

Nwabali
Ekong
Ajayi
Aina
Bruno
Bassey
Ndidi
Dele Bashiru
Lookman
Simon
Boniface

If you want to start Ndidi, pls don't give him defensive responsibility. IYKYk. Let him play the role he's playing at Leicester. Infact if he doesn't get that freedom to flow and assist like he does at his club, then he's not utilized optimally.

I don't know about you though, but can they set up our full backs to be on the scoresheets in this game?

Like Aina, Bruno

When they're ready, this Rivers will become a case study for state police discussion in future.

But this is a circus at this point. Governor made to look like a LGA chairman?? Apc weldone

TheSuperNerd:
Let the insulator of patience stand between you and that pull. Let the watch continue.

Factors don dey give you bombastic side o. NPFL factor.

It continues.

I can see the long game is to make this Tanimu get on the plane to the next afcon by dragonfire by force. Who dey bankroll this guy for glass house? I'm fed up. Smh.

TheSuperNerd:
Calma... Calma.... no haste into conclusion boulevard. Calma my good man.

If na EA now, i go calm? Boulevard get strong magnetic pull o. Lol.

If Fini is the best of ex-ints in NPFL, isn't that a worrisome situation?

Fans insult that boy. Now e don dey show better working. Insults fit no work, but for this Brennan, e work kpaaa

Roland17:
Also, I don’t want us to normalize going down against lesser opponents. While I agree it is the EPL, our approach to playing against weaker teams is beginning to bother me. We need to approach these games with a dominant mentality from the start. We are not going to be lucky each time. There is a way to rotate a team without totally messing the chemistry and flow of your play which isn’t what happened in the first.

The pattern of comebacks is the least we need. If that's the pattern, imagine how we'll fare vs early goal Brentford. We need to show the difference in class.


Maybe we miss Odegaard.

Our tackles has increased since his absence.
Cali won't fare okay with a swift Lightfoot winger at this rate. But i love his passion for that attack. I hope we see Zinny get minutes this year. At least in cup games.
