Happy Birthday! May God bless your new age bro!

Amen. Thanks Man!!

mostob:
Many prosperous years ahead my man

Thanks Bro

Omo why we dey put Yobo for RB all these while? The trash talking on JJ Okocha too get as e be. Una go say e perform kon still comot am again and then rinse and repeat. Lol. Oya do 3 man defense if RB no dey na. So area go contain everyone. . Fix Ambrose for that RB abeg

We never even talk of dem Moses, Odemwingie. But Bench go tight.


If we are real, we have raw talent to compete with dem Germans, Spaniards and England if we do XI A and B. But a factor is the weapon fashioned against this idea. They're currently facing $10m fraud issues. That NFF.

Shegzdave:
Happy Birthday Dave

Thanks so much. I appreciate! 🙏🏽

iamoyindamola:
Happy birthday bro

Gracias Chief O. Make they give me better gift with trophy

Roland17:
Happy Birthday!

The team gifted you with a dominant pre-birthday performance yesterday.

i tell you. They did last year too. Lol. Thanks Boss

Happy Birthday to me. Lol. This came late. Really non screen time day

Spy360:
No I haven't discredited the purchase of Gyokeres. Rather I have defended his performances
You cannot talk of mismanagement of funds when there no funds released.

Tell me a season in the past 3 apart from last window that we signed players without having to sell first.

Can you rephrase the boldened. Perhaps i didn't get what you meant, Spy Spy!!!

Gyokores with MOTM
Martinelli now our highest goalscorer this season, followed closely by Gyokores.

Just like last season, Inter and Arsenal again are yet to concede a goal after 3 games. Inter broke that record i think. Both teams have faced the fewest shots as well(7)

Red just full all the games. Many wanted Haram football but i believe the opposite would happen considering, Simeone is yet to win Away so far this season.

Last season many opined, including many of us here, that it was better we faced Real and not Atletico. Looks like the outcome would have been way way bigger for us if we met them at that stage. That GM goal was a trademark goal. He used to do one touch goals before. Then he stopped and Trossard became the one touch guy. I hope he keeps it up throughout this season.


Ucl commentator pronounce Eze more correctly than the EPL ones. Irony.
They say something like Eh-Zah instead of Eh-Zay in EPL🤦🏽‍♂️😂

This man can't even show on the field of play the upgrade to whatever his philosophy is despite getting b2b jobs with the cadet team. Not even an upgrade. Not even a sign that influence of experience is the difference. We are just on this because Canada too no sabi aside height. Smh

Jieta2:
When is Nigeria match vs canada

8pm

iamoyindamola:
We need to start scoring well to complement the defence

You get. Arteta should allow them ease up. Anyway e be like plan dey. It might change mid season. I imagine what a Fabregas go do with our attacking quartet alone. Omo!!

Baba wan use Merino vs Atletico. That's the game plan. 😅

iamoyindamola:
It's becoming daily routine for our defence line, I was never scared we will see the game through or not unlike wengay days our comic defense will commit

That record of consecutive games without a shot on target all 90mins is overwhelming to note. If our attack just wake up lasan, nasoso clean sheets go dey sup.

There's this thing our players do. We go recover ball kon dey turn round make they recover.
Space to attack dey o. Numerical advantage dey o. Yet instead of progress, you turn back and give ball to Gabu. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Happened a dozen times this game. Gyokores go just dey run for nothing. I also noticed that Trossard seems to be the most intentional about connecting with Gyokores directly.

How did Cala end up as 9 for that offside goal sef😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

We dropped points las season, right. Now it's all 3points but hard fought 1-0. I'll take it. I hope same happens with those other teams that we dropped valuable points at their grounds.

Forest
Newcastle
Fulham
All sweet

Over to Villa, Everton and Chelsea

isan:
Opeyemi is not a falcons quality, same with taiwo afolabi

I know!! Just bringing them up because they disappeared from any talk of development or upgrading.

QueenJazz:
There is simply no rationale. Evidence of her doings are clear to see. It's sentiments that drive decision making when it comes to Nigerians. That's how it has always been.

Someone said on Twitter that Madugu's football philosophy is still not clear till now. And I still have this nagging belief that the Super Falcons excelled at the last WAFCON not because of Madugu but in spite of him.

I agree with you. But they'll say we dey do busy body.

When Ellis and that Moroccan coach were dominating, we saw the philosophy and tactics even as rivals. I guess the right substitutions in that final will continue to be his covering until further notice.

Deltamani:
E Dey funny me sha, imagine Taiwo Afolabi. She’s talented but for the SuperFalcons she is not in that level and not that player the team even need because she can’t even match the regulars players in that position level talk more of displacing them..

Why not give it to the deserving players?

Imagine inviting Kafayat for what exactly?? Is she the best home based forward Capital NO..

Monday Gift and Edna Imade deserves that spot, at least Spain didn’t invite Imade which shows she’s probably waiting for Nigeria 🇳🇬

These guys just dey use national team dey run levels sha. Smh. They don't even want to look these foreign players sef. Smh. At least they should pick Edna na. Anyway e funny cos even Chioma sef never kick ball. Smh

What is Taiwo Afolabi doing on this invite list abeg?

So this is a personal beef with Monday Gift at this rate. Smh


Dem Opeyemi Ajakaye, and this tomboy winger sef just disappear for radar.

quickberry:
That was a free kick😏, where u see goal?😏😏😏

You watch the incident so?

Cocony:
My brother, the ideology of downplaying bad behaviour is disgusting and appalling as if we watched a different match entirely.

I have been a campaigner for NWABALI but for that Lesotho flop plus the time wasting when we were only 2:0 up was a red flag for me.

Im tired of yes-men in this national team. Naso media officer throw Dessers under bus but no mention of what Nwabali is currently doing. We are lucky that the benin goal didn't count and that Onyeka also scored that 4th goal. Else na 3-1 we go dey weep on and by then all these artful dodging of the truth will be a different story.
He wasn't this foolish. Infact this attitude skyrocketed after some games in the PSL this year. He now brought it to the team fulllyyyyy. We don't need that. We need his head in the moment and in the game.

Once again we are lucky that Benin goal didn't count.

germaphobe:
i know he have this mentality of going forward and scoring, it is evident in his pressing and passing. He's a Sergio Busquets kind of player(personal opinion), but whenever he starts in midfield in Arsenal games, we cry about how Arteta is going defensive. He's job is not primarily to create loads of chances from the middle, but to block spaces, intercept balls, tackle and progress play. If he finds himself in the box he knows how to shoot but that can't limit Gyokeres output. He scores more for Spain because their forwards drop and create chances for him to attack empty spaces.

he doesn't act conscious of the presence of the 9 when he's attacking. Zubi is more conscious of that imo. Ao the two starting just hampers the team overall. It's that spain set up that gives him that responsibility to score. But at arsenal, responsibility is no longer his cos the system is different. It's not working at Arsenal and he's not flourishing in midfield beside his fellow midfielders. He will flourish if the setup is the Spanish setup and that's even for more tactical games.

BascoVanVeli:
Arrogant because he argued with somebody? Arguing now equals arrogance? U learn something new everyday.

I have not seen Nwabali do anything that Osimhen hasn't done. Anyone complaining better show their receipts of Osimhen complaints or they are just hypocrites.

Now you want to justify it with false equivalence? Osimhen jeopardize the team or doesn't heed his teammates call on the pitch? Habaaaaa.

germaphobe:
I don't understand this analysis bro, I thought he is a defensive?. If we complain about playing defensive game whenever he starts, how then does this analysis align?.

I don't get you. What i wrote is clear now. Based on instincts towards goal.

BascoVanVeli:
That's cap. It was Nwabali and Bassey and they were only shouting at each other. This was about players holding each other accountable, it had nothing to do with anger.

That's arrogance on display. What about the Semi Ajayi one? Let's call a spade a spade and stop downplaying what we all saw abeg. You prefer we modify the grammar to "holding each other accountable" abi?

Meliforme:
All these digs at Nwabali should stop.
I don't want his confidence to take a dig.

Someone is already clamoring for Arthur Okonkwo to deliver us from Nwabali.
Is this blindness or just plain ignorance.
How much of Arthur Okonkwo does this person know. (I am not taking anything away from Arthur)

Could it be that Nwabali's composure and confidence is intimidating the timidity of some people.
They cannot just come to grip that someone can be as confident as that.

We have over the years clamored for a goal keeper like Nwabali.
Nwabali is very good.
Please appreciate him.

Are you insinuating that his confidence is fueled by his arrogance and lack of regard for authority on the field of play? He's meant to do a job and at an emergency time and he's failing woefully at it. Appreciate him? Abeg abeg abeg!!

jihday:
Okoye should be back by Nov

Amas is not okay. Olorunleke and Kayode too? I no want make they blame Okoye again if anything sup again abeg.

QueenJazz:
Exactly. That's why I said if we secure the African ticket, forget. We're going to USA.

I hope we use these games to set house in order. 4 wins and 2 draws in 6 games is a good one for Chelle. He's still getting to know his players. At this rate we would need to cancel the Venezuela and Columbia Friendlies.

Lookman will be back as well. I hope Chelle realizes that Simon and Lookman should not start together.

Spainever:
I 👍 with you . Nwabali is so overconfident and have anger issues . He was busy wasting time when we needed more goals

See the encounter with Ndidi today? Omg!! That guy pisses me off.

Another thing we need focus on are the stats of the forward 6 per XI. They are terrible in the last 2years. Or better still, since the 2022 WC miss, the numbers raked in from the 6 has been an eyesore. 3years and see the G/A many of them rake in. See the Stats overall across dozens of games.


The bar has really fallen. Aside the new faces.

We need to use two gks for the playoffs. How did we even arrive at this junction where no1 is so so bigger that no2 no even fit give assurance? I recall Ejide and Enyeama years. Ezenwa and Ikeme times.


We need to really talk about Nwabali. Attitude is the problem. We don't need that at this level.

lovewins:
More like 3 games and 4 in total.

2 games to become the continental champion which qualifies us for the intercontinental playoffs.

We would likely only play the Semi-Final as high ranked teams won't play the first game. Should we win that we would have qualified for the world cup.

So we need to win just 3 games to qualify.

Wow. You mean it? So we skip one game?
