I will be happy if Chelle pairs Osimhen and Iwobi in attack like the way Iwobi is played in Fulham while Sam Chuks plays 10

That man doesn't know anything that happens now is on him. We need to see an Attacking Iwobi. But sincerely, who go do connect between Def and Att? Yusuf? Where's Eletu, Akinsan and co sef?

iamoyindamola:
Exactly so all matches are winnable if our coach take the right approach

No team will have such squad depth and face such hard fixtures and now be doing Santa Claus now.

Omo!!

Semenyo is on fire!! Make Berta do Oliver Twist and get that guy. Na UCL football go lure am. Treble go sure straight up.

randy01:
I always surprised whenever I see Saka at left wing.

I've always wanted this to happen since last season to make the double and triple marking reduce but it never happened sadly. Now as he switches, he barely gets marked. The consciousness of his presence is still on his actual wing but he's on the lw doing damage. Too sweet.

iamoyindamola:
Palace is at home na
Fulham away is problematic

Na we even give Fulham that leverage. Same way we gave Luton Leverage that night. It should be different this time. Nobody go do comeback vs Newcastle at their backyard and now slack against these two. If that happens ehnnnn....

Stakeholder don tok. Make una listen eoooooooooo
🥱😹😹😹😅😹😹😅

TheSuperNerd:
Chelle called up Zero replacements for injured Onyedika and injured FDB. So he loaded more in attack. Beats me.

Chelle and/or the usual List makers from above. Iwobi that should be coming from bench in some games not cos he's not fit but as tactical switch. Ehn. And they don't want to invite dem new boys too.🤦🏽‍♂️

For their mind, putting Dessers there na apology for the media officer's clownish, arrogant remarks. Smh

If they want give excuses, only Palace is permitted to stop this from being 5W. Infact GSM should net or Assist in all of them.

Amedino99:
he played in 2018

Ndidi can't be a starter if we are going to USA. That's my point.

mekabuachi:
Onyedika is injured
Get your facts right, before making claims.

Okay. If so, who is now replacing him in the middle slot?

solonnachi:
What kind of lean midfield is this biko?
Chelle you don start again

This is the dumbest invite for midfield section for wcq I've seen in a long long while. Who compiled and okayed this dumb list? 😏😏😏😏😏


Chelle loves 442 and na 4midfielders he dey invite? They still want to use 442 again? 😹😹😹😹😹😹
So they plan to make Simon and Chuks enter middle to dey form midfielders?

Did Onyedika offend someone in the higher ups in NFF that Ndidi is now the darling that wants to go to one world cup to warm bench?

TheLoneCitizen:
You're not getting it at all.
Lamine finishing second last season isn't the headline.

The headline is he did it with 13 goals scored.
He already has the flair. Look at his performance even in defeat to PSG.

All he has to do is get the trophies and a strong world cup showing.

Circles.

Many of those that scored, performed and got trophies all were in the 16 to 25 zone. For example, Harry Kane finishing outside top 10 is a crime. But let's not pretend like he wasn't outpermed last season atall. PR dey and bias dey anyway. Cos Salah had a way better individual season but finished 4th. Raphinha too. PR

KingRabota:
Then there was a national rolling plan

He's no saint but he'll be that last aside Obj that made notable and focused infrastructure moves in this 65year drama. We can't even replicate National theatre again. Na renaming don take over. Lol.

Spending and wasting ti take over. There was a country.

TheLoneCitizen:
Lamine still has the edge. The difference between fighting Dembele and Mbappé is the El Classico.

And he's won his last four against Madrid delivering G/A in every match

Wetin?!!!! that line just dey sweet you ni or what? What edge? Did you notice that the top 10 of last year Balon d'Or weren't even too 10 this year despite performance?

New season in and he's not bested Mbappe in performance so far. Look outside well abeg.

TheLoneCitizen:
Lamine still has the edge. The difference between fighting Dembele and Mbappé is the El Classico.

By overall performance this season he is behind Mbappe

TheLoneCitizen:
As good as Messi was, he never executed trivela passes quite like Lamine Yamal. And that is the most complete player in history. Surely his Ballon d'Or to lose now

where you wan put Mbappe? 🌚

Notable and last longing structures. One imagines how many more he would have done if half of the World's cement production, docked at Apapa that year, did no waste and spoil after awaiting clearance for a full 13months. Most of that 50% ended up spoilt before clearance sadly due to slow paper works and protocols and also, Space.


The fact is one imagines the very plan he had in mind to order such. Where are the blueprints today. What was inside his mind that he wanted to achieve infrastructural-wise? We give kudos to him for this list but im sure it would have been 30 more fatter if those ceme didn't spoil i guess. Kudos to Jakande also. These guys did structures that outlived what 1999 and 2008 Governors did. Let's not even mention those clowns of 2014 abeg. Grass don cover many of what they did. Forgotten and home to reptiles. Oyo for who wan use tribalism for this one. Low iq approach if you do that.

Coach Aliyu Zubair after the game:

“The boys gave their all, just unlucky at key moments. Possession doesn’t win games; if one of those chances had gone in, it would’ve been different. Now we move — focus on Saudi Arabia, and we go for the 3 points.”



🤦🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

Nigerian coaches 101. I heard some of these lines in 2002. Dem still dey use am in 2025.

Dannyxy:
We have really poor coaches sha.

Move the ball quickly to the wings, crosses from the wings directly into the box since you can’t move 1/2 passes quickly in the middle, all this huff and puff is poor coaching.

Torrhhh.

We operate a handler based coaching for cadet tournaments. These ones have no significant upgrades in career that when powers that be select a squad, they'll happily queue up to be the handler of a squad they don't know. Everyone can't be Siasia. And irony is they're not even trying to be Siasia. These boys think we still play 2006 street football. Norway is not even sweating. Lol

Penalty to Norway courtesy of Bameyi’s handball

This Bameyi is anti-Var awareness since the very 1st tournament i watched him in. He does stuff that makes one wonder if he'll always escape like today's.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. Calm down Dave. They just showing them the match analysis tool for the games. 😂😂

Although that guy wey shine eye in the middle looks perplexed. 😁

Nerdie, there's no just showing here abeg. These guys no sabi anything about tech. Each has their own mental swing they use to sideline reliance on such things. Rem i said i no dey trust these coaches for cadet level even if they make reach ko stages. These guys are lost. They have no better cert than NIS.

That Ozilic pass to MLS by Odegaard yesterday was sweeeeettt.
The ref block road but he still executed it so well.

What can you deduce from this picture for each individual that have NIS certs at most?😭😭😭😭
U20WC

MSGAMBLE9:
I hope he pull through and Oga forgive him cos in 1st half, the way he was dealing with their long ball and in-behind runs amazes me

No doubt he'll be back. We have too many games to want to risk another departure by Saliba.

mostob:
I don't think he was disciplining him bro. I've seen similar cases where a defender made a mistake and that affected him mentally. Remember Khusanov against Chelsea? Pep had to sub him off too.

You're right in a way sha. But the Ramsdale situations is one of the reasons why. From that All or Nothing series, one can deduce he disciplines sha.

MSGAMBLE9:
Na why Mosquera mistake pain me... The guy has been solid AF atleast until we have "awa" Saliba back....

I think that's why he was subbed off. He's a good defender. He'll learn from it. I noticed he disciplines his defenders more than attackers. I've never seen him discipline any of his midfielders. Nawa o

mostob:
See the way Lascelles chook fingers inside Gyokeres eyes.. He didn't see that one.
That Oga wey dey wail up top, ask him about Salah's handball yesterday wey Chiesa take use score.

They gave that as red for one Brighton game seasons ago. E reach this season, ref no even bother. Lol.

Silentgroper:
How far cheat you ..


How arteta knew the fourth official was going to give 8min extra time needs to be investigated . I've been watching those two connive all through the match.. This matches setup to make arsenal win hence the disallowed clear penalty..

Investigated? You do know it's common knowledge for managers to ask the 4th official for how many minutes and the 4th gives a hint of such as response to managers, right? Should i list instances as far back as 2009 epl and ucl till covid? 😂


Match was set up to make us win but 6/7 instance for var to check for us were never checked. They had 5/5 checks for them. But obviously,na us they wan give the win.

Silentgroper:
Which handball .. 😏😏😏


Did you not see after many replays there was no contact.. if there was, it would have impacted the ball ..
.
It's basic physics..

That was a handball by Salah. No need for the Kizomba dance. That Palace defender was ready to head the ball away. That hand changed the direction to your eventually scorer, Chiesa.

How did that ball change direction? Basic physics ba? 🤣😂😂

mostob:
You get time bro.
The weyrey ref was doing everything to win it for Newcastle. He paused play to review that scramble (before the long throw in) towards the end of the match, he even paused play to review Gabi's handball. But when ball hit Bruno for hand, Baba no gree pause play. Shame on him abeg

You sef see all his checks. When Saliba pull shirt he call. When Joelinton pull shirt e no blow. Over 11 shirt pulls by Newcastle and na Dan Burn own he finally give yellow for. 😂😂
That Calafiori incident is not even a yellow. Just a freekick. Yet when they push Gyokores again inside box, he wave play on. No check. 😂😂

daveP:
Joelinton just wan injure Saka. And why is the ref ignoring all the shirt pulls on Eze? Gabu was foolish for that push abeg. That's softer than the last one that gave Newcastle a win that year. Guy is rugged and should not be doing that abeg. Haba... That was a pk for Gyokores. Make they continue sha. We sha winning this one

3 points in their backyard. Good for mentality. This counter attack is the best form of Martinelli. It will be sweet to see more of that this season. Rice won us this game. Guy brought this dying minute mentality that we lack seasons ago.


I wished MLS scored that ozilic pass Odegaard gave him mehnnn. He was slowe. Na one shoot e for do he paused.

Silentgroper:
Abeg make we hear word ..


No be am favour Una las las ..



No be for here fit argue say that Gabriel handball no be penalty..

Lol. Abeg abeg. Aspa same var no cheat us for this game?
