They've increased cash prize. Can they do something to this eyesore of a trophy? Some Silversmith can craft something more glamorous and befitting when it sits alone and force every photojournalist to want to get a click at it. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Zinny can be indecisive when caught in tight space. Baba go wan do one risky pass instead of playing safe. Twice, opponents have capitalize on this to score.





Sevilla? I'm not surprised. Sevilla wey be say if Dem pair them with relegation candidates from obscure leagues, they would still find a way to finish third and drop to Europa. grin grin grin
Zinny mistake last season in key games vs top 6 led to dangerous pressure and goals. Those injuries kon spoil things join. Make he sha dey careful vs Sevilla.

I am not particularly surprised with Sevilla result though because they have been completely off it this season right from La liga after losing 2 games at home already

We are definitely cruising into the knock out stage with a bang as unbeaten group leaders to get an easier opponent before we get ready for the tougher Quarter final version of the knock out process
Sevilla should just get serious and enter KO stages of UCL for once. Ehn!! Abi they have one backdoor arrangement ni. I can't imagine PSV or Lens qualifying with Arsenal out of this group. I can't. Na them sabi sha

System Corruption

Smh

Genuine law abiding citizen are frustrated by the govt official when they come for proper approval and etc. They read the room and are forced to drop kola, raba, whatever bribe is called in their domain. This bribe becomes the new fast and furious way to not get frustrated, besides it's not even genuine or within the right metrics.



People build up cos this is Nigeria and then one day, they hear stuff like demolish, seal off, etc, much later, similar to the usual Abuja craze each time a new don is in town. It's crazy that these leaders think this build and destroy system is a good way to begin with. If they tackle from inside and face their greedy staff, 60% of the problem will be solved.


The govt should start in house and deal with those that enable billions of funds to be wasted this way. When one or two scape goats are dealt with, the official will do it the right way even if they still want to colet bribe..


This then, exercise is 50-50

Saliba has this inbuilt dribbling talent that he do channeled when caught in tight spaces. Several times, I've watched him use some 'filthy' piece of skills to maneuver his way out of a tight press.

God bless you for this. Unfortunately, those at the Glass House are just there for the dough. A team boasting of Ndidi, Ajayi, Osimehn and Boniface should find corner kicks as big chances.
We need to do something about it asap. No be only cones and VLC player logo we go dey do for training. Let them perfect the art of dangerous setpieces and ball recoveries(which i saw some potential in the Tome game)

We have the personnel on group. Esp with players like Iwobi, Nacho, Boniface on ground. We too dey dull.

Variety they say, is the spice of life. The backup doesn't necessarily need to be similar. Vieira is different from Ode. Vieira likes to urge the touchline whereas Ode stays more in central area.



About the corner kick, when I saw those left footed players lining up at the edge of the box, I don know say Dem get wicked plan grin grin Unfortunately, Ode didn't play to the script in the previous kick. As for White, baba no dey contest for ball... his own is to create chaos and disturb the opponent's goalkeeper. This role is surprising to me because White na gentle boy...em no get that rascality grin grin grin
Ode is like that guy that has almost 120% ability to take decisions different from whatever was instructed. Zinch is the next. Lol.


That white ehn. I liked his shot with left foot. I need more of that inner Bellerin. He should be getting goals from shots too. No be everytime we go patiently wait. Infact UCL KO stages most important goals are more of outside shots than what we do. I hope we see our fullbacks doing that more often.


Ben White clowning is much welcome. Looks like he's left goalkeepers to be disturbing defenders now🤣

Honrstly i won't lie raya aerial composure is very good, i don't think everton trouble us with corner one of dyche strongest point of coaching and if i remember they won us through corner or set piece last season
I just hope ramsdale keep his head down and don't allow these killjoy spoil his relationship with the team
Last season. The goal happened cos he couldn't move after they played the corner. He was relying on Odegaard to defend that angle only for the more physical everton guy to force him to fall and nod in the lone goal.

Raya on other hand, is coming out with precision to grab balls. What's annoying is he's shorter than Rams. I sha don't get it anyway. All i know is i hope Rams improves this season. He's a great Gk. Arrival of Raya is not going to make me think he's been anything else.

Just one day off they are pushing him out, only him can stop all these speculation
But I believe he will start tomorrow
This is the angle


English Goalie dropped for Spanish goalie
Spanish Manager drops English Gk for spanish gk


Those are the useless lines the English media has been chewing on so bad, with the sensationalism mixed in huge proportion. They did it when Maguire was benched too. Na dia way. I know Rams will not think it that way sha. Somewhere, next year, na him go still praise Arteta for the rotation during uCL KO stages.



Raya kinda has better aerial command. But Rams can defend his box so well. The stats is definitely what made Raya be a Gunner

I think ideally it’s supposed to be Viera . I recently watched his U-21 2021 World Cup and 2019 European U-19 clips where he played for Portugal; he was so good in that AM role which is his natural position .

If he bulks up and tries as much as possible to not run into multiple players when attacking he will really come good for us as Odegaard’s deputy
Supposed to be. Omo!! So in other words, by direct expression, Odegaard na 1 man mopol.


That's scary. He needs a like for like deputy abeg. Let Viera continue to dey enjoy using left foot on left side for now abeg. But we need another buy.


Very happy that injury is alien to him for quite a while. Very happy.

But we should start noticing


It's come for Nelli. Who next?


Side note:


I saw a Twitter thread of our great corner kick goals and i observed that Ben White's major role is specifically that of a distractor clown, literally. Guy acts like the tight angle causes a foul of sorts that makes his marker forget tracking an aerial ball and goal from someone else. 😂😂😂😂

Also Nelli and Zinch stay away from aerial contests in alllll kicks. They await 2nd balls the most.

Does the Super Eagles coaching crew have a set piece specialist and trainer?


Appointments should follow the modern game if we want to maximize all fronts to win that Afcon, else we can only wish. We need to make teams scared of our prowess with Corner kicks, short and long freekick and Throw ins. It's one big distraction from our main team play, especially if we aren't measuring up. They'll at least be so conscious and that is a mental advantage.


I don't want to review our setpiece conversion rate under Rohr and now JPes, but we really need to step up 4times over. It is a super integral part of the game now. Only one that doesn't love this team would sideline such aspect.

Two wrongs doesn't make a right. So this doesn't count as defence for whatever angle you're trying to achieve with this.

I don't need to be on any players side to defend or attack anyone in matters like this. This is purely sentimental right now. What has she done to keep getting a spot. Even if we shift the blame to NFF, the honourable thing to do like 100s of old players that have retired in the last decade, is to step aside. The fact that you have not even seen this beats me.

Like do you know what it means for you to have played 20 years? I mean 20 uninterrupted year. Do you know how much of a blessing that is and how most footballers, male or female would roll on the floor to get a 10 year stretch in their international careers. I could list players who were impactful for the national team (male or female) who didn't have the luxury of 10 years with the national team.

God blessed you so much you've spent 20 uninterrupted years with the team and you still can't make room for younger folks to get a chance? For those justify this nonsense, what you do not realize is that your argument justifies the despots who have been president for decades in many African countries.
