When we talk about this man I hope you won't defend him
His approach to big games are very poor
Still 6 points but we should be winning this

It is very very terrible mehn. Low bottom teams in dying minutes do ball launch from deep cos they KNOW it is DYING minutes but we are still passing ball left to right asif Control is the Focus and Objective. This is shameful.

Yes we are top of the league but tnis was abysmal mentality on display tonight. For a Liverpool team low on confidence? Goalless draw!!!

They are low on confidence and see how they took the game to us this 2nd half. Imagine they're full, they go just silence Emirates with lone goal and defend fully cos they very much know we can't bite with what we've put on display so far tonight. I detest this kind of approach so bad. Especially against Liverpool.


Szobo got a frrekick in the same zone at Anfield. Why is it hard for us to replicate same and let Declan Rice repeat the Madrid goals from 30yrds out? Oh we don't move central!! Shameful mehn

I blame Arteta for this nonsense draw.

Zubimendi can't offer Partey control. My my!! Same mistakes in 1st leg. Liverpool always wanted to i jure Partey cos they know. No key wingers for Liverpool and na 0-0? Mtchew

Lol. Better do artful dodger for this one. E get why.

Mancity has dropped points to teams they won last season. We've picked points from 4 teams we lost to last season. If we can do justice to Liverpool, it will be the launchpad to a even better 2nd half of this season.

Burnout is one top issue for many clubs. Backroom staff seem to be doing excellent to manage that. It means we should have a more bigger squad than our immediate rivals once UCL and carabao resumes.

Let's extend this to 8 and i see Villa and City dropping more points. Let's clean up Liverpool an i hope a tifo is ready by the fans too.

Have they settled the bonuses issue or na strike still?

Odunayaw:
+1

Glory to God

Happy Birthday Chief. Wishing you many happy returns filled with wonderful memories. 🙌🏾

This is the most stacked Afcon quarter final. All 8 teams remaining are in CAF top 10 ranking. AFCON Heritage

Be like I'll remember this Motsepe Era as one where he really made Afcon 4years despite seeing 2 sweet, entertaining, hot, nervy and thrilling afcons b2b. Who does that?


Will we ever see a Nigerian as CAF president?

Mujtahida:
Akor tried something similar yesterday but the keeper parried it.

Im trusting him to try it again and make that Zidane son to concede goals after all that clean sheet.

That was some goal similar to that Sudan goal vs Senegal. I hope we get similar goal too. Algeria like Tunisia imo

lexyman:
but why are you trying to force your own narrative on us ...? we all saw what happened on the pitch ... even the clip that was flying around showed Osimhen ranting at Lookmon ,it means the issue was btw them ...Lookmon was at a point selfish against Tunisia too . Bruno or no Bruno , Osimhen should learn how to talk to his team mates . i remembered when he scored against Tunisia or Tanzania .... he went to warn somebody ... no be all fight you go fight , you have to leave some . my write up only faulted the 2 of them .

That was the Tunisia game. He went to warn the Tunisia coach and got a yellow for that.


The summary of this tournament for him should be about performance but he himself seem to want it to end up being about attitude no matter how those defending him want to downplay it. We all joined hands to call out Nwabali BS even if he lost a loved one. Nobody defended his temperament and said "that's passion" or "that's how he is"


Im seeing on NL FP and X and even Arise TV are saying he said he wants to leave camp. I dunno if it is true, but that's a new development and I'm waiting so bad for those defending him to now start on that. I want to see something.

See how even ladies are calling out Pooja and other naija sport journos for being two-tongued on the matter. That's the Nigerian problem.


I for one want this in past tense asap.

Danielnino00:
Meanwhile, Iwobi's performance so far is proof that when used in the right position, he can deliver...
That two man midfield partnership with Ndidi was limiting his offensive output...

Na iwobi i dey pray make nothing happen to him till afcon finish. Cos na den we go know who exactly dey make this team click las las.

I believe the matter will be resolved tonight as he's been summoned.

I sha no like as e dey do our captain everytime he dey try calm am down. He do always shove him away

"Make nobody tell me anything"


Once again, those defending suddenly think we have been 'hating' since and waiting for this day. That's the error. We are his surest supporters too. E no mean say we go overlook. Mature talk from Lookman at the presser.


It will be addressed and resolved.


We meuve!!!

COOL10:
His worshippers are always fond of misinterpreting his behavior as "passion". They make it look like that's the blueprint to success, as if there haven't been greater players who achieved remarkable success without having a bad attitude.


I know passion when I see it, but I also know a rude, condescending behaviour when I see one.

Be like Gusau don ask to meet am after everyone went to freshen up. That good news. Means they'll iron it out tonight. Gusau will definitely not be alone. Make e show the "passion" to dem ogas at the top nauu. Mtcheww.

COOL10:
Favouritism at its peak.

The North Africans and Europeans that watched it are all calling it out. But na here we want dey turn blind eye. Smh. We dey downplay such behavior. Imagine if the temperament of those on receiving end was equal. Better appreciate his teammates for being cool headed in such moments. Hmm.

Nigerians!!!

Stop trying so hard to explain that bad attitude from Victor Osimhen plsssss. We don't need pampering for that display. Will you extend similar defending to another teammate? Definitely not!! So call a spade a spade abeg.

One reason i love the German team is they'll have 2 Iwobis and two Osimhen/Akor and a false 9. Remove 1st Iwobi and the 2nd one comes on to sustain the tempo with a new 9 or a false 9. We never reach that level yet. Once some starting xi comot match, tempo is lost. I don't like it. Can't remember the last time the bench came on and outperformed those that started the game in G/A.

ThunderFireAgba:
I don't know what Ndidi told Chelle, but decisive action must be taken about that guy after this AFCON.
He always wants personal glory and media attention that is getting into his head, he feels he has arrived.

I dey vex too but this your moniker though 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Joebie:
Target Yekini record but providing scoring chances for his teammates steady. What he wants is team play all the time. He is right.. but make them settle the matter for dressing room

I've seen a thousand different scenarios of players that were right 100% but they didn't react the way VO reacted tonight. We don't need that one bit. Not at the expense of team spirit. How will the very one that wants team play be the very one that wants to crack team spirit with such attitude? Make he take am jeje abeg. No be only him waka come.

Make they bench am next game till his head gbera. He dey target Yekini record but his toxic attitude is what he wants to use to shadow the effect of breaking such a record. Osimhen, you're not alright. Goan fix up guy. Na we your own surest supporters dey tell you so. Fix up mahn!!

Me i no go join am understand any nonsense understanding o. That's nonsense from him. If dem Yobo and Mikel dey team naso e go dey vex pass Sango ni? E wan dey form Diego Costa for where we no need am.

TheSuperNerd:
What a front 3.

Super Eagles on Fire!!!

The 4312 is Hell vs any team.

I said it here that this kine formation go epp up pass that overflogged 442 that depends on nostalgia. 4213, 4123, 4312, 3142, any variant go sweet for super eagles.

My fear is i hope he no go reach final now and decide na 442 e way use.

Mujtahida:
I cried the day we started playing Iwobi deep. I cried.

That nonsense i think started post covid. 2021 i think. Depressing era. Yhe insults the guy received in that time frame too. Im glad naysayers are all praising him now.

Kilishihunter:
That's a good observation. We are playing better on a good pitch. I also think pairing iwobi behind two water carrier midfielders has made him free to carry out his playmaking effectively

Yeah. Chelle must have given him the freedom Rohr gave him that year when he just signed up as coach too. I wonder who started restricting him and without guilty conscience.

Kilishihunter:
This afcon is the best I've seen the super eagles play in a long while. We are no longer misplacing passes unnecessarily

Someone said see how sweet we play as the facilities are top notch. Morocco pitches are world standard and well cared for. That might be a motivation as well.

The fringe players can play 10mins in this game at least. We are in total control of this middle and attack. Mozambique aren't here to play

The 2019 Iwobi with a sprinkle of upgrade!!! This is him!! Alex Iwobi on fire. Easily top 3 midfielders in this AFCON.

Spainever:
Since there have been so much complaints about Nwabali and several People also felt he should be benched. Do you agree Uzoho should be in goal tomorrow ?

If it came down to this choice, I'll pick Nwabali. The fact that Uzoho has no business being in this tournament is enough reason to never look his way. Like what metric was used to suddenly make him given this spot on a platinum platter? Abeg abeg.

lexyman:
same thing i was thinking

I still no like this motsepe era in a way. He go do 3 for caf kon do 7 for fifa wey go cancel the 3.

Paid clowns with the need to queue at Yabaleft

Abi should caf make the afcon the route to FIFA world cups like cadet championships?

Like make 8 come from Afcon and the other 2 should find another route. Cos this SA

charlesemeka85:
SA na Spain abi England? Nawa for una ooo

In African footie who be SA to be compared to Cameroon?

as nobody dey rate them now. Everyone keeps giving it to SA. No blame me.
