Joezinho:
Iwobi was monstrous today. I couldn't believe this is the same Iwobi I watched with my own eyes playing the creative role to perfection..

We have good players honestly. Zaidu played yesterday against Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese classico and he was awesome. He hit the post with a thunderous volley..

Chukwueze lined up RM defenders like he's selling ice cream but couldn't break down Tunisia... Football is a funny game.

If Lampard finishes with him ehn, im afraid he may get his middle role by June. Cos what i saw today no be 'he's riding on uncle's fame'

Plus lamps is adding some detailed aspect to his decision making. Iwobi will be on fire in 4months time.


Meanwhile, Chuks dey drag Marcelo like beans.

Joezinho:
He plays as a DLP in some games in rangers and even in nigeria. So i am wondering why they said he can't play as a DLP.

Just fear nothing more.

BascoVanVeli:
Not sure if this has been posted here but our Basketball ladies had a big big win over France yesterday. Came all the way from 20 points down.

wow. See that LeBron James longshot there men. That our 25/23, is superb.


Victoria Macauley!!

andrewbaba44:
But one of olayinka and sadiq umar are too good to be dropped to accommodate lookman ?

I would have called lookman if not for quota system

If we qualify, both may be dropped. That list go cause war.

mostob:
ungingered Partey, when shooting, na innocent fans on the stands go dey suffer...imagine how a gingered Partey will be like...na outside the stadium Dem go dey pick the balls.

Our bredas can do it, especially if they see who's in goal that day.

andrewbaba44:
Since they cannot drop anyone for lookman according to you ,who are they dropping to accommodate Dennis

Me i don Taya for Nigerians sha.


We sometimes forget that we are using the best we got at hand for XI, and if a better comes, the better will/should start in no time.


That's how they said Saka will chop bench for Euros. Now Lookman go chop bench? Yet Dennis must start?


Right now in SE, its only Ndidi And Ekong that have starters shirts anyday, anytime. The rest can be benched. Lol


For his pinpoint crossing ability, I'll love to see a Lookman start ahead of a not fully fit Chuks. Only Aina i remember, was crossing from the RW at Afcon mostly.


Lookman will add a lot to that RW. Easily reminds of VicMo. But if they want to start him at left, all well and good.

Joezinho:
But he plays as a deep lying playmaker in some games right?

He should be allowed to play the role he plays at Rangers. He should be freed up to shoot and score imo. This sacrifice that barely makes the middle have their own chance at goal is stale o.

Joebie:
I don’t know about you but I’m super glad about this

if he go wc and perform, Leicester go cash out big time. But he plays RW majorly now abi dey don switch him ni?

. BALO speaks

mostob:
Which Partey abeg? The same Partey?

The breda can be gingered just at the sight of our GWG jersey,yunno

Longneck:
If we want to continue playing with two strikers then it should be victor osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis up front


ihanaecho is a very lazy player and he should sit on the bench and come in later as a substitute


Victor osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis will pair nicely up front


with Emmanuel Dennis being the supporting striker and victor osimhen being the main man


I think both strikers can function well together because Emmanuel Dennis possess the skill set for a supporting striker and can track back anytime to help the defence


Then Moses Simon remains on the left wing while Ademola lookman plays from the right wing


Both wingers possess the skills to destroy any defence going forward and both are also good defensively


Joe aribo plays from the midfield as a 10 behind both strikers


Wilfred ndidi plays the defensive role here and he can pull it easily


We retain our centre back from the AFCON Kenneth omeruo and troost ekong


Zadiu sanusi plays the left back position and Ola aina the right back position


I feel Ademola lookman and Ola aina will link up well maybe I feel so cause they played together in Fulham


Then Francis Uzoho should be in goal he brings confidence to the team and we really need this


This formation can also be changed into a 4-5-1 formation with Emmanuel Dennis drafting into the right wing then Ademola lookman moves to the midfield and play the number 10 role




I should be the super Eagles coach

Reinvoking an Emedeye partnership upfront. I love such style of attacking. If Osimhen and Dennis can just click lasan...

komekn:
Your football mind is like someone in IT still using DOS when we have progressed to Windows 11. You are in a Nostalgic dream, for an era that has DIED.

Football has progressed and the days of one players knitting everything in midfield is not the favoured approach of the best teams.

The entire Midfield works hard as a collective .

Nwakali doesn't have the basic skills set to play as a quality Midfielder in the modern game. That's why he is the Segundo division and his club wants to offload him.

Ahhh. Easy na.

If Cos he's not modern, he is in Segundo, ya indirectly saying allllllllll of those in that division are groomed according to the order of the archaic?? Yes that's the inference na.


I don't really rate him, but this one na crucifixion na. Shuu.

VicMo just uploaded a clip of his performance, dedicating his time to the club till 2024. I miss him badly on the RHS Its like he's not even slacked atall, tricks, feints, crosses.


Sadly, like the Ighalo inclusion right now, our strongest influence is where our words stop; here.

One step at a time sha

But if we qualify, Eguavoen and Amuneke fit use 24hrs do WC squad selection o. E go haaarrrrddddd.

charlesemeka85:



I hold nothing against the nwakali guy but the hype and attention he gets here pisses me off

Even you may think he is the 2nd coming of zizou,pirlo,scholes,modric,iniesta,xavi,platini in one

Iwobi that got one overwhelming welcome in the stadium didn't even get such vibes on here. Maybe I'm jazzed to not see why. Lol.

Rockyrascal:
I think Nigerians have a problem with players above 30 playing in lower leagues.

Evidently. When we barely have consistent UCL reps, talk more, performers, catching the eye of the media, in the last 7yrs. We seem to forget. I recall Yusuf Ayila with Kyiv that year.
E always sure him die. Baba kukuma no go anywhere sha.

E be like Pinnick dey feel like naim be Super Eagles Press Secretary or Spokesman. I dunno. Is it only me?


If we get Eze join, we go siuuuuuuu any team.


Welcome Ademola Lookman.

Wait, so Ghana football is financially in shambles. National coaches(all cadet teams) haven't been paid in ages, and
Same for sport officials. How are they quiet. Egunje dey sustain? Even refs in GPL too?

For this Accra fes leg. If VicMo dey now, i go chill. Cos two pks don sure from him alone.



Im sure our boiz will win this first leg. Better to die there than bring an uncomfortable and permutative spirit to Abuja. For 90mins. Stadium go just empty ni.

Ndidi sef Should score. Partey go use shot scatter our keeper from long range. So it has to be a better keeper in goal. We can't pretend this is a simple qualifier. Cos if it goes our way, we'd even forget the misdeeds. But if we fail to qualify, hmmmm. Person go dig up 2016 clip or info of how one person was never good, etc.



Luckily, as far as squad depth is, we have upper hand.

I will put Country first and play my part to ensure we go to WC.


Amaju quoting Ighalo.


Lol.

drDoom3:
Ighalo that cannot outpace Christensen in a counter attack is who some elements in this thread are claiming is our best striker besides Osimhen. SMH.

lol

Be indirectly involving Aboubakar. This is Chelsea for Heaven's sakes. How many SE players can outperform Chelsea currently with solo performance?

nairalandankrah:
Arsenal and Tottenham going head to head for victor osimhen's signature... Only one of the both teams, will eventually get to sign him.

only UCL football can sway final decision on this. Even Saka rumors of no ucl, no new contract signed have surfaced.


Asides that, our top 9 needs a team desperate to have him. Spurs have Kane.

This new announcement is confusing abeg


He is Tech adviser, but amuneke is chief coach/1st assistant


Howwwwwww


Yobo can continue. Aliou Cisse has proven it is possible. But that Agu and freebies?

Senegal have scored nine goals from 81 attempts at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations - only Cameroon (12.1%, 11/91) have a better shot conversion rate than the Lions of Teranga at this year’s tournament. Meanwhile, Egypt’s rate of just 5.3% (4/76) is the lowest of teams to qualify.
#copied

If Egypt win this thing e go pain cos i thought of it after we beat them, then after Carthage Eagles comot super for our name.

All Super Eagles need per Tournament is just one guy like Aboubakar.


Osaze
Emenike
VicMo
Ighalo



Since then.......

BascoVanVeli:
Ishaq Kayode with a brace today giving him 9 goals in 10 matches

Hopefully Remo does sustain this tempo when half Season comes. Kwara were hot and playing good football but lost tempo all of a sudden.

Danielnino00:
CAF have rejected Ghana request to move the game from Gold Coast to Kumasi given that inspection and approval has already been done on the Gold Coast stadium last year...

Abuja or Lagos, I'm not sure there was any news report confirming where we will host our own leg..

based on the way sport journalists have been talking, it looks like its Abuja.


We don't want Lagos for the time being abeg.

I'll take Uyo over it for the meantime. But the way MAS has been looking, shows it will be our forte

The Summary. Omar sef eh

So Onyeka will have Christian Eriksen playing with him this season?

If anything at all, only a blind man would think all is well with what we are seeing currently.


Now look at what we have left.


18 outfield players left to go through this season. Now imagine the injuries for the next 5months......




Besides, Aubameyang hasn't played in over 8weeks. Meaning that almost £3m has gone down to absolutely nothing useful. Nothing useful. For a club that we know how the ceo behaves, arteta is really cocky and stupid at the same time throwing cash down the drain especially when there is absolutely not viable replacement at the moment.



What a time to be a Gunner. Will be a miracle if we qualify for UCL football, sincerely.


In addition, Elneny has been in fine form at this Afcon. Hilarious that he's played more minutes at Afcon than he has in almost two seasons combined at Arsenal. My crux will be Arteta not seeing this and deploying him in such a way as seen in this Afcon. Hopefully, Pepe is back and better. But we need a Striker, even if na loan. After WC, they can buy whoever permanently.

How allof them unfollowed him on all SM... Wonder how that feels.


No hope on this cos UK ehn.
