Na you no dey comprehend. Havertz should have scored one of those chances in the first half. Jesus was poor, same as Saka bút na Kai you dey sout for here. When Kai was scoring consecutively, we nor hear your voice. It is kinda irritating shouting Kai Kai in every post. Make una free the guy.

As for Martinelli part, you didn't understand not that it is not true and I no get time to dey explain.
No problem. We have different perspectives to this loss. But you should accept that I'm not coming out for Kai ALONE. I did come for others. My total angle comes from the quality of this opposition and their manager not just any other regular game.

Why did he respect City with Haram but set up this docile way against someone like Ebening? I can't explain abeg. From Ebening to Tuchel it is. So we meuve. But no kon tell me say i dey mean the guy. Ask our manager why he thinks that guy is the approach to almost EVERYTHING.

How una take dey watch ball na... All of them might have played rubbish but there are bigger culprits than Havertz.

That White substitution was spot on. Zaniolo was running riot on that wing. And the plan was for Martinelli to help Zinchenko defensively. The substitutions that killed that game were Jorginho and ESR. Partey should have come in while Rice move to 8.

Leave Kai alone and focus on others. The guy even tried today.
You still fail to realize I've highlighted others. Kai was useless today. C'est fini!!


That Martinelli part you talked about is not true. I no go gree for that one. It was obvious. Lol.

Omo that guy useless pass anything but he kept him till now
This man will just be trying he's nothing special
mostob was saying i too dey the guy matter. Forgetting that i dey fear God Ebening and hence, I'm expecting an A+ game from whoever is tasked with scoring. Ebening is kinda like a let them own 1st half, I'll use the last 15mins guy.

When he brought on Nelli and Yasu i got confused about roles. Especially as Jesus was still on. Smh. Overall, na Zinny cause this game sha. I waa expecting Yasu was coming to replace Zinny. Only to see White. Mtcheww

Jesus has been doing the pressing while our Aerial threat is not even looking threatening whatsoever. Trossard and Kai are lucky to have Zinny behind them right now. This got gats come from the left side. We better take our chances. That Watkins can turn a quarter chance to a full chance. I wish we get him. He's just no much of a presser 9

Trossard ought to score that. Must it be ground shoot after the cross? That's why i fear Ollie Watkins. See how he made Big usage of that error. Also look at Raya.

Lol.
Very familiar sentence.
The setup is a perfect one for a pacy finisher. Something that Kai isn't even though he's had a sweet season. A sweet natural can score a Hattrick from such juicy passes and I'm not exaggerating. It's just how arsenal is set up. Soon sha

Ugochukwu has Nigerian background through her father's lineage.

Since debuting for Bayern Munich's U17 team in the 2017-2018 season, the 2003-born striker has been involved in 37 games in the B-Juniorinnen U17 Bundesliga Süd, scoring an impressive 19 goals.

Melissa Chidera Ugochukwu 21yrs has not been capped by Germany at the Senior Level but she is believed to be on the radar of the German Football Association, having represented Bayern's regional selection.

The most notable player of Nigerian descent to represent Germany's Women's teams is Navina Omilade-Keller who won the Champions League with Wolfsburg in 2013 and Ugochukwu could follow in her footsteps if she is not convinced to pledge her allegiance to the Super Falcons.
Hope that Radar is on sha? She hasn't said anything about Nigeria i guess.

this was terrible from Ellis anyway. This didn't feel like home. I think with the respect of winning wafcon, this lone Thembi upfront against best defensive team in Africa that cause trouble in recently concluded WWC, is an insult to Nigeria. Hilarious as well.

Just Thembi. Aspa na u17 flamingoes dey backline.

Yeah she can go Box2Box but where do you keep Halimatu Ayinde?? Cause we need a Calmer one among the Combative Youngsters in Midfield..

I think Echegini still need to up her Physical side of the game especially playing against Africa Opponents, but against the Western side she’s very strong!
the ideal formation will be a 4123 or 4132 with Ayinde or Deborah behind Christy and two others


Ayinde
Christy-Payne/Joe-Abiodun
Any two forwards

I just want to see her in attacking mode again. Her shoot and going for rebounds are great from outside the box. Joe really needs a step up. Or more easily, pair her there with someone that has strength and pace, Okobi-ish.
SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 10:27am On Apr 12, 2024
Can Christy play in front of Abiodun like in this game? I need to see that again. This match vex me die for that blunder then. This version of Kanu is gone imo.

Replacing Desire Oparanozie will be one task that Randy won’t be able to accomplish anytime soon.. That typical type of well built No.9 Nigeria is always Known for.. Mercy Akide, Sarah Michael, Desire Oparanozie, Uchechi Sunday etc.. Like even if they don’t Score in that game they do a lot of Work with or Without the ball, we had good number of advantages having them upfront, not what we’re seeing now.. We still don’t have a number since Desire Oparanozie started blowing Off and now retired.!
When she came on, one didn't need bother watching cos goal sure. Whether na bitter rivals or enemies, she go score. If Randy just find replacement ehn. O pari.

Besides, can you help with the G/A of our forwards since covid. I wantu confirm something fes. Gracias.


No RW
No 9
False 9 sef no sure.

...I think Ashley should be taking our free kicks if it is close to the box 18,has she is the one I know that has a canon like this in that her left foot.
Deltamani, Basco...what do you think about Ashley, rocketing 🚀 such ball towards the opposing keeper. As regards Bayana Bayana,...well..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...They won one WAFCON and do not know how to act again...just be blabbing up and down..
😁😁😁😁
Yeah her and Christy or Alozie. The ish now is that we've barely won enough freekicks in 25yrds region like before. Onumonu won a few at wafcon sha. I believe if the attack is worked on, defenders will commit more to our advantage. For now....


But Desire was such an amazon mehn. Our attack that year...

This post reminds me of that AC Milan match. They won the first leg 4-0. In the second leg, we scored 3 goals in the first half but couldn't score again in the second half to level or score or won.

I also remember that 2-0 win over Bayern. They defeated us 3-1 in the first leg. We crashed out due to away goal rule.
we have next season ucl Ko stage to break that record for good. It's annoying. Especially home ties.

Then, judging by this pic, Destiny can't wait for Nnadozie to win her Wafcon as 1st choice goalie then. The Accra final shootout will be my fav memory of Oluehi. She's done well. Wish her a befitting farewell soon.

GeneralDae:
This is my problem with Randy. Alozie is a winger and she started as a make shift defender then I believe, so why hasn’t he found a replacement for that right back role yet, so we see the effect of Alozie in attack on the wings? She has speed and she’s a good crosser.
Come to think of it, Alozie is a good winger o. If Randy loves to start Kanu and want to sub her off, he should just bring an RB on and make Alozie Play RW. Or preferably, start getting used to starting her at RW and let Kanu come on later. That RW still never get person wey go replace Ordega.

Bottomline is Randy should try allow this babe play her preferred role once or twice at least. Use Friendlies. she has a good cross to start with.

Not just clowns, Moronic clowns.
It’s okay for them to go around saying disrespectful and hurtful things, calling him a NUGA coach and wanting to pad his CV (even though he is getting peanuts from Nigeria compared to what he had brought to the table) BUT when he rattles their cages a tiny bit, they all come out scampering like the lil’ b!tches they truly are.

Someone talked about developing a ‘thick skin’. The same one Iwobi was supposed to have also? Seriously?? RE, like every human being, has the right to block anyone who is not adding value to him, including naysayers who don’t even have the intelligence to admit when they got it wrong.

For me, his comments prove to me that he truly and genuinely cares about the SF and this project. He has to make them a world class team. Unfortunately, the world is full of arseholes that want nothing more but to derail the good work being done.
4 years observation about how they talk and drop analysis and it shows that many of them have bad mouth. I won't because i criticized Randy heavily that year refrain from noticing this very one. It's like Ketekete Effect

If he doesn't talk, they'll keep talking, trying to force reaction from him. He reacted now and they're still doing like no be dem start am, 😂

Anyway if it will make him focused more, welcome by me. ,😆

If it's one "Gloria Adeola Ifunaya" do you think he will still be our coach after the Nations cup outing in Morocco ?..

The performance at the nations cup, is it worthy of a criticism?...

The same set of journalist, are they not the one calling out NFF for delaying his contract renewal? We have many here that think a college coach doesn't deserve to coach the great SF after that NC too.
We should be factual with ourselve.

I think the criticism then were right, and RW is right for coming out now.. it has been in his mind for so long and what a better to come out than after qualifying your team for the Olympic.
Well said then. The Gbasgbos go sweet. He needs a tougher skin.

Let's be factual here please, is there anything tangible that Randy has added to this team? Remove the individual brilliance of Nnadozie and the little luck here and there and imagine where we would be by now.

Let's free these journalists please. Nothing exceptional about RW abeg. Moreso, as a player or coach, it is expected to receive criticism. You need to develop tough skin. Why the blocking spree?
They're clowns. Yeah. I'll say that. I've been observing the way most of them in the sport terrain moved since covid. Especially the crew that joined voice for local coaches and NPFL things. I didn't say Randy is all excellent. I joined to criticize that year too especially his substitutions

They are pissed at his reaction. Na Randy fall hand sha. Lol. Man overreacted and block the innocent ones join. That's too far. But we can't police how he'd react too. Jpes try o. Man barely addressed those talks.
