Shegzdave:
I hope he’s relieved of his defensive duties so Man can score more goals and increase his goal tally

I tell you. Many of the big scorers don't have defensive duties atall. Plus most of them, except Haaland, are fast and superb on counter. If guy just dey high, omo!!! Defenders go hearam.

mostob:
Florian Wirtz!!!! That's who we should be going for. A proper cerebral player like Odegaard.

That's true. I doubt they'll release sha. Unless our fee is attractive enough.

Front 3 scored except Jesus. Guy better wake up

Trossard
Kai
Bukayo

Roland17:
Clean sheet!!!

COYG..

On Tuesday, I repeat, they should deny entry to any Arsenal fan that is going to be quiet. We need all the noise when Bayern visit.

Also, beat up any of their fan wen try nonsense, including Dayo.

BHA dey work, na we dey chop. Lol. I love that Trossard finish. Reminds me of Sanchez finish in fa cup years ago.😂
Dunk is really tall o. Chei. He should goan Dunk in NBA abeg.

Clean sheet it is.

Shegzdave:
Saka is so complete bro🫡 offensive and defensive

Sure. Just a day where he's relieved of that. Let's see how it turns for his numbers too

iamoyindamola:
Kai balance our play
Jesus too they snowboat and it's getting to me

You're right. Just that the guy will shoot stronger at their Gk than Kai.

iamoyindamola:
Enciso go trouble us oo

Guy is giving White serious problems with Pace and Flair. Hence Saka is covering for White, hampering the counter attacking style as a result.

I want an XI where Saka defensive duties are reduced abeg

Shegzdave:
Raya made a good save against Enciso long ball 👏

Commentator said same way against Porto. Immediately i realized na same Porto style jersey BHA dey wear😂😂😂
The guy should stay on his line abeg.😒

The last few minutes was torture for De Zerbi. It was obvious. They were overwhelmed but we couldn't translate it to 2-0. But it's nice to see. Besides, everytime they want to get out of it, they find Lamptey cos they know Zinny will never win a duel with him. Oir Press dies as a result. Smh. Like i said, it looks like Kiwior is kept for the Bayern game. That game though. Between Kai and Jesus, who supposed start as 9? Cos that defense line is terrible right now.

Jodera:
We need a good competition/deputy for Saka. We should be grateful he's durable.
Nelson needs to be sold.

Also, I no dey gbadu Jesus at that place.

Hopefully, Saka have shaken off the injury he have

MA should use pull to snatch Xavi Simons or that Bakayoko of Lens. Or better still, Olise. All 3 will love to be in a team with such solid defense sincerely.

Jodera:
It'll be very difficult and probably highly impossible. It's not as if Palmer's performance is head and shoulder above anyone else that they'll give him.

For them to give Palmer, he'll need to be head and shoulder above anyone else just as how Haaland did last season or Suarez of 2013/14

true. He has Watkins ahead sef. All these names and chilli boy stands no chance o. Chei

Jodera:
Palmer ke??
The only thing Palmer will win is Ypoty and that's because no obvious contender in the top half.

You can't be in 11th and win Poty. Who does that?

You have a point. But if he keeps this consistent performance, epl can do funny things aspa English boy.

mostob:
For Arsenal? I think Rice.

For EPL, Palmer and Foden are leading the race.

Those two are hungry and the Palmer own has created an argument against Saka. Before we use the "Foden plays in better set up" then Cole came and said Hold my beer. Cole is literally carrying his wack team b2b. One core aspect that helps him is he is relieved of defensive duties, which Saka does the best among the 3, while Foden is still struggling in that aspect. It's going to be tight. But as it stands, omo Star boy needs to respond accordingly. He's not far off anyway.

Jodera:
For Arsenal, I believe it's Rice.

Rice
CBs
Odegaard

I would say are even the front runners for player of the season gong sef before even talking about EPL Poty

Uhmmm.

Meaning he no get chance even from the team unless he steps up his last few games and UCL performance which has been average so far.

Is Saka a worthy contender for POTS?

No Jermaine
No Linda
No Kgatlana

All because of our Busquets, Declan Rice and Bellingham.

Most painful takeaway from this game, even more than the scoreline, is that despite the overall knowledge of who was in goal for the Banyana, we still didn't prioritize shooting at her. She's no good at all. Why wasn't this done? 😑😑😑
I trust Okobi and Oparanozie. If na them... O pari. I hope they do that in the 2nd leg. I don't want this tie to be more of Not taking our chances vs We no get chance.


Gameplan Pretoria- If we no score, then we aren't conceding either. Oya now..

Deltamani:
Kudos to Christy Ucheibe…. 💯
She too try Abeg, a Makeshift Center Back Doing it as if she’s originally a Center Back, Thanks to Benfica for also playing her there which also gave us the mind that she would deliver..!

How many chances Thembi Kgatlana get for the game sef??😂😂

na offside be her best chance sef😂

Also noticed Ohale apply street with Christy by correcting her but didn't for Alozie despite that one's rubbish play 😂😂😂😂
I'm sure ohale was pissed.

We're glad to have her

Do they really know how distracting this coverage is such that to even try to analyze performance no dey sweet person. Overall, Alozie was poor throughout. Thanks to Christy for cleaning her slate several times over. Randy should allow Joe and Esther play together abeg. The synergy will be better. I love how Deborah marks. We need to know who instilled that style into her from scratch. Up next, the altitude that Ellis said will disturb our play. I hope we don't fail there.

If deciders come up to Kanu, just know the outcome is 99-1 for fail. She's terrible. Nobody gets into such space like her but she never buries any. None!! Mtchew. At least Ihezuo won us a pk after a long time no see. I keep saying kanu na bench starter. Overall, the midfielders carried the day. Okeke is like the Zinny vs Tierney talk. She is good defensively but nothing much offensively

TheSuperNerd:
I have switched links to about 3 channels and 5 links. WIZZY TV has 3 of the links I saw.

Omo, Real war.

I've even lost interest now that I'm hearing the 2nd leg broadcast no sure for us. Double wahala. Pissed. Went round half a dozen links to no avail.


They better shoot at this lazy swart and get 3 goals at least. Wizzy try but everyone is annoying.

TheSuperNerd:
Okay, Ajibade. Omo... finding a link is war today.

total minutes of play I've watched no reach 10mins. Smh

Nff have given us the biggest embarrassment this year in sports

They had weeks to prepare for standard set up and this is the wack thing they embarrass us with?

See the half timer sef. It is counting down instead of up. 45 to 35 to 25. What in this nonsense for heaven's sake

This broadcast is am eyesore

Why do they keep embarrassing us in preparation? What's this?

What a surprise XI.

Ihezuo. Abi na shotpower things due to swart or what? Physical too.

do4luv14:
Bros your head dey dia, That race no be here, as I watched the highlight my mouth was ahhhh, handy no gree ooo3

The most thrilling part is She just came back from maternity leave too,

Omotosho ba? She no gree. 🤣🤣
That Nitro na Onyali/Allyson Felix kind of nitro.

Deltamani:
Celine is a technical, dynamic midfielder who can play higher up in the team as an attacking midfielder or sit deeper and play the pivot in a Central midfield role. I look forward to watching her dictate and create the game in Randy possession based style at Pittsburgh. She will be exciting to watch and prove difficult to deal with. She is an excellent addition to the Pitts program…

We prayed for a midfield overhaul. Heaven answered our prayers and gave us overload(Sulola still dey too o)

I hope all the coaches are noticing? If anything funny happens to RW(which we can rule out that probability, however slim), the next manager better get sense and utilize them instead of trying to sideline them. We know their MO too well.

We got maximum benefit from the athletics from 1984 till 2000.

The Golden Age Of Nigerian Athletics - Videos, Pictures And Memories.
https://www.nairaland.com/3311202/golden-age-nigerian-athletics-videos


This is the Texas Southern University video (the one I posted on that thread is no longer visible).

I mean Again(for Athletics). I grew up watching that set. Was a thriller. Then football followed.

That's why i said i join you to hope. That at least, we get the max of it.

What Onyali did that day was what Omotosho did at at the AAG. She brought back that "until i die" mentality to the relay. 😂😂😂
Only she was doing the heartbreaking overtaking this time around instead of being the lead for last leg.

naptu2:
What Randy is doing reminds me of 2 very successful eras in our sports.

There were some Nigerian sports administrators that attended university in the US (eg Isaac Akioye) and some retired American track stars that worked as coaches in Nigeria (Lee Evans, Ron Davis, etc). They helped to establish a system in which the best Nigerian track and field athletes got scholarships to study in American universities. This was one of the things that led to the greatest era in Nigerian track and field athletics. Nigeria was a global power house in the sprints and some field events in the 1980s and 1990s.


Clemens Westerhof became coach of Nigeria in 1989. He made it easy for some of the best European coaches (like Louis Van Gaal) to have access to Nigerian players (eg Finidi and Kanu) and he also ensured that the contracts that these players signed with European clubs benefited Nigeria (release of players for national team duty, etc). This was one of the things that led to the most successful era in Nigerian football.

I hope Randy can have similar success with Nigerian female football.

All these beautiful template but they no dey draft how to maximize am to the fullest? Well i hope this Randy era is maximized well. The athletics own is paying off so so well. Favor Ofili is something else entirely right now (her block start has skyrocketed). Not to mention the others.

I join you to hope.

If any at all, the last WWC game vs England should be the benchmark of Motivation till we breakout.

Madam Asisat Oshoala

2G/A on both legs is not much to ask from her, is it?

Things are loading up for that Man of Peace that even gullible Christians will applaud when he surfaces.

mine3112:
The guy really messed up big time and he's one of my favourites but I couldn't believe he did lay that pass to Martinelli. I hope it will not be our undoing this season because it will be very hard for any of the title contenders to drop more points.

I'm trying hard to find an excuse. Let's see how the next game will be.... 2games is enough. 3 will be too much
