Mujtahida:
Walahi. It's a fragile set up. If Lesotho can be so comfortable playing us with all our vaunted fire power, it should tell us that it's not fire power that matters. Good tactics is everything.

This man obviously has nothing special to offer this team. Ver and over, he's not proved he has what it takes to face a tough team in Afcon KO stages and tactically outsmart them by hook, crook, or flair. He's just there. Unimpressive!!

Boniface tired.

Mujtahida:
There are supposed to be two people behind Iwobi in that midfield. So that Iwobi can connect with the Attackers. This idea of playing 2 midfielders because we have plenty attackers is just dumb

Imagine Bassey in middle cos nobody to deputize Iwobi. Smh.

Abi Jpes na low budget Southgate ni(selection)?

bossto:
Yea, Osimhen will always be our first choice whenever he's available. Anytime he plays, people feel his presence, he's just different from other strikers.

Osimhen
Iwobi

These two are super key

elunico:
He's obviously not watching the game.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Joebie:
This team is missing that Victor Moses kind of player -- powerful player that bullies his way through

Exactly. That kind of player should be key to every afcon squad henceforth. We have none currently. And this is just Lesotho o. Naim we dey pack 80% of Team A for?

Mujtahida:
From midfield? There's no midfield bro

Lone Iwobi there. With Bassey assisting him. Where the others are i dunno. Lookman should be a teammate abeg. He's gotten our best chances so far. As for Two striker, e no dey work. Boniface shifted to middle more sha.

humility33:
That miss was unexpected

He think say na career i dey tok of. 🤣🤣

The RW is not threatening enough. Then the transition to the LW is slow. Need to be faster with that. As for Iwobi, Superb so far but i dunno if the presence of Victor and Awoniyi is not making him release chipped balls to them. Bassey has been okay so far. That middle though.

charlesemeka85:
are you ok? How u go compare Yak to awoniyi?😳

The miss at the goalline.

What is wrong with Lookman?

Awoniyi on a Yakubu level.

Why Lesotho dey get accurate passes in our half than we in their half? 🤦🏿‍♂️
Two players are looking like MIA from our side.

mostob:
Ian was shocked 🤣🤣

He was least expecting that. 😆

Greed will kee DSTV

I expect more loss before January 1st.

Jokers


How much did you budget for the so called "panacea for poverty eradication"?

What happened to the almajiri schools the hated GEJ set up?

Is it a foreign foundation that will come and lift over 100m pupils and students out of the poverty? When did this responsibility stop being that of the Nigerian Leaders? Lol.

Danielnino00:
Chief, we're moving on o...

Oya now. Weldone 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾

mostob:
Elder Kog, this guy below is a French defender and he is supposed to be 16 years old. From reports, he plays with experience that exceeds his age. And one man here go come here dey shout automatic data capture.

This is the guy Phyno sang Fada Fada eh for. Na im. Shuuuuuu!!!👀👀👀👀

Here you go.


See Wright's reaction in there too

Wait,you guys haven't watched the clip where Ramsdale was saying nonsense? That clip was before Raya situation. It must have triggered the Raya emergence. Many are saying same too.

Nino, kilon sele?

Wrong thread

Cecco90:
It's reported that the security of the Uyo Stadium delayed Amas Obasogie at the gate because they didn't recognize him. So embarrassing.

I saw the clip. Too embarassing. Shows disconnect between Those inviting and the security team. Smh

What can be done to bin the drums and trump culture of NFSC? That Club is not evolving or eager to do something new, modern, more attractive and participatory. Its so thick even vuvuzela couldn't chance it. I believe the time is ripe to do something fresh and more modern. Are they that bereft of ideas?



Meanwhile

AkinDS:
Again, what was Ellis’ body of work in 2023 that makes her more deserving of Coach of the yr?

Nigeria had a way more challenging path in the WWC than any other African team and left due to penalties. We played 3 top 10 teams, 2 of whom made it into the semifinals (England and Australia).

Randy definitely performed much better than Ellis. Not even close!

you have a point but winning wafcon will make her take this.

lovewins:
Coach of the year should be Desiree Ellis

GK of the year is undisputable Chiamaka Nnadozie

Young player of the year is Blessing Demehin, Ajakaye isn't even top 3.

Player of the year is between Oshoala/Kundananji/Kgatlana/Chawinga/Nnadozie

That's true. Ellis and Nnadozie sure

Looks like some Journos really have beef with Mikel from his playing days over refusal to grant interviews to Naija Journos.
