Just saw the goal Cr7 score with a long chip from 30yrds out. The sharp decision making..
I pray we get such a baller with such skill
Not the precision o
Just that sharp decision making alone. Oh boi. The last should be Odemwingie imo. We've not had that level of specific skill again since then.

If we can just have a shot stinger like Refilwe in our team alone, o pari. That lady can fire shot like LJ and Kerr


Abeg make we face front from that Paris Vs Chelsea game. No need for any analysis on it. A game Chiamaka would want to forget asap for such performance. Same for her teammates.

And who the English version epp? 😒

Tigernut
Tholakele

Facing the post was the issue. She for just jog backwards and keep eyes on the ball. Embarassing goal. Kerr mean am tonight.

Wetin Chiamaka no see for WC, she don dey see am Tonight. Chai.

Nff is d bane of our football. Take a look at all our national team right from u-17 to d senior team both male and female, looked at me in d eyes and tell me which one is not having running battle(s) with their porous organization. Nff is a curse to our football.

The players are at disadvantage so if they see anyway to register displeasure, the boldest will only act. Things can't continue like this.

They keep having problems with players from times before. One consistent side in this-The NFF leaders. They may need to hire a Conflict Resolution Expert, a Therapist and undergo some Ego Management classes. I'm sure Ego will play a big decider in most of the conflict involving the gbasgbos involving the national teams in last 2 decades. We can't continue like this.

This Brazil vs Argentina Game is super embarassing and terrifying. Smh. When was the last time a CAF game had such violence?

Kog45:
Even for better Uyo stadia Wetin happen….abeg any player who is not ready to sacrifice anything for our qualification should be excused.

Make we just solve this nonsense coach mata. Sometimes, if Players are disconnected from reality, na manager go restore factory settings. Pes doesn't look like that person. He's the kind we should tag 'handler' not manager or coach. Any player wey wan craze go meet craze wey go high and should excuse us respectfully.

Odunayaw:
Raging discussion on Twitter about SE is positions in the team NPFL guys can come in and compete for.

I believe everyone here agrees a GK can be found in the league but does anyone think CB combo, FBs and midfielders can come from the league?

P.S based on ability and not some illusion of hunger or passion

Aside Gks, i don't think defenders can come from the league right now. Alukwu though should be watched out for upfront. The last time we got better ballers, they were coming from continental tournaments where they gave good account of themselves individually i think.

elyte89:
Meanwhile nff needs to complain about dt Rwanda 🇷🇼 pitch…it’s not good enuf to host a fifa match…caf sef with deir rubbish stuff

They're renovating their Kigali stadium. It will be ready before our fixture with them next year. We should just get out house in order.

We need to start working on away points. Cos...

Odunayaw:
We have to get our acts right. See Rohr and Benin playing like ducks against Lesotho

This group go funny laslas. 24points to jostle for. We better end up as the best Knight Rider

TheGoodJoe:

I agree with you. This is where the coach needs to do more thinking and screening. I agree Iwobi will be most suited supplying the final passes for the forwards but I think Peseiro is also prioritizing build up plays and is going with what he has available.

If he studies the players outside the box, I believe he can get a better set up to get a more balanced play.

However, he can not achieve this if he does not prioritize the number of midfield players in camp.

Pes should just get out anyway. He's clueless and thinking worse than a NPFL coach. Not even in-game sense. I doubt these boys even listen and enact all he screams from the touchline during a match.

TheGoodJoe:
No one is overrating Kelechi Nwakali. We just said we need someone sound in deep lying playmaking role. Kelechi Nwakali is a natural for the role. He is not a magic wand but an extra dimension to our play.

See, i gave two instances. But, like we demanding solutions from Komek, I'll appreciate if other names can be mentioned to solve the midfield issues whenever it comes up. That way, Kali doesn't look like the only one. I still maintain my initial stance of him till further notice with all sincerity. Till then....

Odunayaw:
Na the SA be that?

i repeat, na 6 points from SA go qualify as apology from the team to Nigerian fans. Anything else na to wrap it up. See Rwanda doing us a favor. We better also not fumble against them. Smh. We keep Messing up and getting such bailout but refuse to take it.

Those still clamoring for Nwakali like asif his entry will suddenly solve all the issues in this team are hilarious, sincerely. He can come and do well and the gk issue persists. He can also come and be average and more proof that you guys overrated him.

To avoid that Angola repeat, we need to beat whoever the group leaders are home and away. Not even 4 points. But 6. That will make up for this stale draws they started with. Anything else, if we like, score 70goals.

Barryseal:
These are undisputable facts here. I've always thought something was amist with this team and the bolded kinda brings clarity.

Facts. They were showing low iq. If they want to get the best from FBs, they should get a manager that they'll respect/fear, one that is tactically sound as well. They won't want to disappoint such a coach. But all these guys are concerned about is chop chop.

TheGoodJoe:

I am talking with respect to the players we have in the team already. I think Onyedika and Iwobi are the best who can play a deep midfield role. However, I believe Kelechi Nwakali is superior in that role and a must for call-up. I agree with you that we need a proper controlling midfielder.

i just pray we get someone to make Iwobi forget the DLP role or covering for any 3. A team that wants to contend will need iwobi fully concentrated on his primary duties. Issue is apart from any good midfield pairing, who is selfless like Ndidi?

GeneralDae:
This was an opportunity for the coach to test Alozie fully on the right wing of the attack or as a striker.

This is a good idea truly. One of Rinsola/Ify will play 9 if Alozie is played up front for chemistry. But these guys are barely calculating any probability with even selection. Smh

Batists and Balablueens still think this is business as usual. No be say dem dey benefit from any of the biz anyway. They should sit and bring out calculator and see how wasteful these thieves have been that they defend with passion. SMH

isan:
All the sponsorship money dem don finish am they are waiting for a government bailout

That's the catch. They are just useless and whatever one things of them, it will turn out to be double on a bad side las las.

TheSuperNerd:
This is someone who took his time to watch that game and especially observe our midfield setup.

Onyeka being positionally indisciplined wasn't going to sit as the CDM. He kept roaming. This is why Iwobi kept playing deeper. And how limiting it was.

Iwobi fell deeper as a DLP and long balls and switch of plays are not his thing. He's no midfield metronome or tempo controller. He is rather an attacking midfield pearl who can lay on the final ball from advanced areas or in the pockets between the defensive lines of the opponents.


Onyeka will bomb forward but doesn't have the technical nous to play against a deep block from advanced positions. Lacks the technical manipulation and skills in tight areas to turn and evade press.

This is not rocket science. It is football made easy when one takes the time to actually profile players right and observe who fits into what roles exactly.

The team's midfield needs Nwakali. But we also need more than Nwakali in the middle.
We need Alhassan's brain and energy as well. Ifeanyi Matthew's technical enforcing and also Onyedika's smooth CDM swagger.

These added to Iwobi's AM brain, Ndidi's midfield enforcer traits and Onyeka's BTL CM role (only when paired with a proper CDM with a holding MF profile or a genuine DLP) will see our middle game dynamics uplifted beyond compare on the continent.

Lastly Barryseal is partly right. I knock Peseiro coz he is crap but the players also deserve huge knocks for not winning against these minnows.

The players play like they don't have any fight in them. But this is also down to the atmosphere the coach brings to the team. So somehow, It is still a Peseiro thing. He is the disease and no wonder some of the players wants him to stay on. because he condones their unseriousness.

This man 👇🏽 gotta go.

Iwobi suffer for that match cos he was the most selfless in both games. He still cover for Collins again when that one don forget his primary duty 🤣


What is super annoying right now is they can't fire him cos of the outstanding salaries. Besides what's this Sports Ministry talk I'm hearing? NFF seem to be useless. Smh

See nff explanation for Peseiro. You'll hear that and already know there's no need to talk about Randy situation any further. The clowns that run our football have run it into the ground. 🤣

Dem supposed don settle down since na… Maybe still on track doing so

I wish them the best sha. By January they supposed don dey available for anything imo.
