I am a hobbyist photographer. There are times I and my friend will snap and I'd look at his and be like "wow, this, that". And then I check my own and be so critical that I don't want to see it.

2 weeks down the line I go back and I'm like omoo this is good o

I think that's how we deal with our games.

Saudi couldn't string passes fa! In fact the time I saw them dangerous was when Osimhen went out and Moffi took some minutes to enter. If it was us that was outclassed like that we would have cried blood by now.
If Pes no get video analyst by his side for in game reading, wahala dey.

Just screenshot can make one decode Japan style. Screenshot SE own and you'll be confused. Howwww?

One thing i hate with our football most times is you have a higher chance of decoding the opponents game plan than our own game plan. Ours gives headache too much. Saudi own was too obvious. Bissau own was obvious after 20mins.

We go dey alright sha.

How is this JPs fault? I don't really understand you guys? The Saudis created one chance from open play while Paserios team were missing sitters upon sitters yet you blame Paserio? Uzoho put the ball in his own net and Aribo mistakenly stepped on a players leg to gift Saudis goal yet you play JP? I do not understand? Seriously!
Either he doesn't have personnel to stop that nonsense or he is just too rigid in changing rubbish when he sees it. That is why the buck ends with him mostly.


4 players see a combined 22chances and waste it, for example. But coach keeps giving them top treatment. They'll never learn or get more clinical.

If such player now wake up tomorrow, randomly, people go say Coach sabi. Whereas na probability situo. Coach needs to step up with Giant legs or these guys will continue to play mixture of

Flair
Street
Nonsense
Anything-Goes

And no matter what, na Captain of such ship go get the blame. So why surprised??

Simple modern football is not hard for any observant fan to see.

Set up structure in opponents half that will give superior advantage with possession. Any foolish Defender that can't pass will have to goan learn. This setup means you have most times, 6 bodies in opponents half at least and 8 at most with two ball playing CBs at the centre circle. Any loss of possession is met with swift recovery by nearest players before they see passing zones. This is just from observation and is not the totality of such setup but

What do i know? Nothing 😂

We have many issues with personnel, but JPes rigidity is overshadowing the ineptitude.
We have several players that played tonight that if they ever try the nonsense they did tonight at their clubs, they'll be benched and reduced to substitute appearance until they get sense and utilize time, space and teamplay. As for Baba Pes, he is good enough to reach KO stages, but he's not the manager that will make SE lift that trophy. Especially as he doesn't reward indiscipline and lackadaisical attitude with what they deserve. Smh

There's a man
He is behind the curtains
About to be revealed
He will bring Peace that nobody dreamt about
He will be celebrated for achieving a century old difference.
Religious Leaders will thank God for his emergence
UN as well
But he will simply be fulfilling prophecy about the Antichrist as seen in the Bible.
A pity many are siding with Israel thinking it's simply religious. Also some side with Palestine too for funny reasons. They can't even read between the lines. Till then.

The recent announcement of Super Falcons' squad for the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifier against Ethiopia brings forth various opinions on the exclusion of the veteran captain, Onome Ebi. 🇳🇬⚽

Former Super Falcons coach, Godwin Izilein, has praised the decision, emphasizing the need for new talent to take the stage. "This is the best decision because for how long do we continue to have Ebi in the team," Izilein voiced. "She was no longer needed and useful in the team."

Ebi, at 40 years old, had made history at the 2023 World Cup and played in six World Cups. However, Izilein's perspective is that it's time to give the younger generation an opportunity to shine.

In contrast, ex-Falcons captain, Stella Mbachu, believes Ebi's experience is valuable and age alone should not determine her role in the team. "As long as she remains fit and still very active," Mbachu commented, "she should be allowed to stay."

What's your take on this?
What's Mbachu saying? 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

I dunno what's the boy's scout mentality when it comes to GWG. Just look at what stella is spewing? So make she dey warm bench cos she be assistant lecturer wey dey lecture youngings on the team on how to do it abi?


The same excuse they were giving for Musa in SE as well.
That line of excuse has expired and should be retired abeg. Na only Naija we go dey cook this kine excuse. The ish is she can't at present, bench anyone in a competitive game. So why the fuss? Na person wey get experience dey do like pikin upandan be dis? Dey swear at everyone that feels she should leave when ovation is loud? Entering dm of People on Twitter to insult them upandan for having a contrary opinion? Seriouslyhuh
Funny enough, that Experience she got, we need it in a coaching capacity. Let her step down, go the Elneny way and start to become a goddess to Girls in the NWSL instead of this Gbasgbos over spot in SF. All the best to her.

That Daga I no go lie I no too dey rate am for now

Maybe because we hv players already in the super eagles who re similar to him

the same reason I am not really worried in not getting Lesley Ugochukwu

All I want in the team for now are CBs,CMs and CAMs
Obviously, he won't be really rated like that. But, on a norms, the reason shouldn't be that it's cos we get players in SE with such skill set/similar. All we know is he's one for the future. The earlier the better.


As for CAMs, i doubt we go see any for now. Especially with the way style of play is changing lately. 10 role don disappear. And i hate it.

If his style is uncanny, he won't be hotcake among managers and pundits won't be putting him in big club considerations in last 15months. Unless ya trying to say Arsenal sef no be big club sha.

He's a 9 that's a box 18monster. Hardly is he outsmarted in the box or outmuscled when with the ball. What about his counter attack style, especially singlehandedly??

I don't use derogatory language, l would say not very good, not **** ☹️.

The discussion emanated from the delusional agenda that surrounds Nwakali. That he is somehow the best midfielder or one of the best in the Portuguese league. And certainly according to his badly tuned praise singers, the best in Chavez FC.

That delusional discourse made someone to compare Luton Town to Chávez with the suggestion that Chavez is better.

With regards to Nice beating Arsenal ( it happens) not too long ago Nottingham Forest in the Championship beat Arsenal. A few days ago Newcastle United beat PSG ,the same Newcastle was beaten by league one Sheffield Wednesday in the FA cup some months ago.

Would you say PSG and Arsenal And Newcastle are now poor quality

When many repeated this same analogy for you months back and even years ago, you didn't seem to accept it. Why now saying it now to justify a stance? Why?

The Championship is the most physically taxing, intense and competitive league, you can be at the top of the league a few months later your facing relegation.

It's not a league to count your chickens before they are hatched in my opinion. This league is tough very tough MARATHON not a sprint where you run out of steam half way through.

KC has scored 4 goals , same as Vardy they are well below the top 10 goal scorers in the Championship and you are celebrating 🥱🥱🥱
The truth is, sincere truth o, this narrative just need to rest. The evidence wey dey grand no need any Defending Counsel to come win any case for it again. Funny thing is those that counter your stance said exactly what you used(ill quote that one after this) as defense for one aspect of this whole picture, but you were defiant.


Pundits have not even been caught consistently talking about Championship with the descriptions you used.

Exactly. Haaland for instance missed 28 big chances last season in the EPL but nobody talks about that because he literally bagged a record 36 in the league alone. The higher the volume of chances a striker gets, the higher his goals but also the higher his misses.
To confirm your point,

Using Rudiger, Osimhen was more a threat vs Rudigher than Haaland was over two legs vs Madrid. He was a good distraction anyways. But Rudiger hearam. Inwas shocked with his display tonight vs Saliba. He looked really ordinary. Drought season or he's exposed.
