Somebody did a Nigerian A, B, C team on twitter

Looks good
Why Iwobi in Team B? I dont like that pair of Nacho and Osimhen though up front. With Kalu and Sam as wingers. I'd prefer Etebo/Aribo partners Ndidi than Ejaria. My opinion.


That C though..... Lol. Lookman!? Umar. The defense see go collect eh.

Lacazette will be the death of Arsenal. When I said Auba was better than that guy, someone here said I was wrong.
Dude is worse than Giroud. Arteta should've subbed him around 70th minute.
The 4players that caused or contributed to the lapse and loss were fatigued. 300mins in 3 games.

Guess what,

Lacazette was rested well, but he got tired faster. Martinelli or Guen would have kept Olympiacos on backfoot.

Well its past now. I tip the cup to go to the Germans. Else, Inter or Man U.

Ozil Ceballos, Xhaka in the middle and they couldn't crack the midfield. Xhaka and his static role is annoying. Barely moves 5yards at a run. Iwobi might have made a difference considering most of these guys were fatigued. Wonder how that ball passed Luiz with 90s left!!

As for Tomori, i wish him well. He reps them yet chops bench for whatever reasons. If he answered us, things might have been better. But that's just a thought though.

I am relaxed cos the rush is from Southgate's end of the pitch.

We only have hope and the fact that his dad has shown love for the GWG. Else, we are just hoping.


England want to have him but with that silent "your time will come" punchline. I hope he is wise to see that. He wont even make the Euros team. Afcon will however be a good one.

Nonsense
Im surprised we havent taken up arms to roast him on all social media platforms for that statement. What the hell does he mean?


In the SE he and Ola Aina can form an understanding as both are good with attacks. They can be swapping in times of overlapping. No loss whatsoever. We need a Crouch kinda striker to start using head to score, not necessarily but at least have him.

Wonderkid Bukayo Saka is making a serious claim to be in England’s Euro 2020 squad but Arsenal legend Perry Groves warns it may be too soon

By Oliver Dawnay
27th February 2020, 9:00 am

In what has been another turbulent season for Arsenal, a true gem has been unearthed in the shape of Bukayo Saka.

Despite being small and light on his feet, Saka has taken each game by the scruff of its neck and has become a crucial member in the Mikel Arteta revolution.

With each passing performance, the 18-year-old is turning more and more heads and, inevitably, there are now whispers he could be in contention for a place in England’s Euro 2020 squad.


Saka has dazzled for Arsenal this season
Saka produced another superb display on Sunday after coming on for the injured Sead Kolasinac during Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat of Everton.


Not only did he defend brilliantly, but he delivered arguably the best piece of quality in the match when he whipped a marvellous ball in for Eddie Nketiah to guide home.


His delivery was so good former Manchester United and England full-back Gary Neville was left purring at the piece of play.


“The quality of the cross was absolutely outstanding,” Neville said. “All you want is your striker in that position and he (Nketiah) is. He gets a good contact on it.

“It’s harsh to suggest Arsenal fans were happy that Sead Kolasinac went off but there was a bit of a cheer.

“What a cross from Saka. I was having a mundane chat because I thought nothing was on.”

It was Saka’s tenth assist in all competitions this term and he is now giving Gareth Southgate a genuine selection headache ahead of the tournament in June.

The question is – why shouldn’t he be considered?


Saka has shined under Arteta’s leadership
Yes, many youngsters have failed to live up to the hype in the past and a call-up at such a young age could be detrimental to his career, but at the moment he is undoubtedly outshining any other left-back in the country.

Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen shot to stardom when they were called up to international tournaments as teenagers – why can’t Saka?

As it stands, Leicester full-back Ben Chilwell is England’s current first choice, but he isn’t performing as well as he was earlier this season and he was torn to shreds by Riyad Mahrez in the Foxes’ 1-0 defeat to Man City at the weekend.

Danny Rose’s start to life at Newcastle has been underwhelming and the 29-year-old has not done enough to retain his place in the Three Lions’ squad, while Luke Shaw is another unconvincing option.

However, despite Saka’s superb breakthrough campaign, Arsenal legend Perry Groves believes a call-up for the Euro’s may come a little too soon as he is still adjusting to becoming an out-and-out left-back.

Ben Chilwell will be Southgate’s first choice left back
“I think the Euro’s is a bit too early for him.” Groves told talkSPORT.com. “He’s done brilliantly but realistically he is a wide player who has been asked to fill in at left-back.

“He’s adapted well. Going forward he’s excellent. His final ball is really good as we saw on Sunday for the goal he made for Nketiah.

“The only thing he needs to improve on is recovering the ball quicker because as he is not a full-back he often jogs back instead of sprinting back into his left-back position.”

Groves suggested there are at least three players ahead of the Gunners starlet in the pecking order, but revealed that people at the club have been hugely impressed with his faultless attitude and willingness to improve.

“He’s got competition with Ben Chilwell, Danny Rose and maybe Ryan Bertrand – who are more natural left-backs,” Groves added. “But he’s 18 and playing with no fear at the moment. As the team improves he’s getting better but I think realistically he will go with the Under-21s squad.”

“The next step for him is to play in Aidy Boothroyd’s squad and establish himself there but at the moment he’s not ready to make that step up.

“He’s actually learning his trade in a different position and you can’t have an England left-back who’s learning their trade. It’s not their natural position.

“But I’m lucky enough to talk to people at the club and everyone says his attitude is spot on.

“He’s a level-headed lad and has an eagerness to learn and he’s always asking the coaches for tips and that bodes well.”

We are gradually losing Bukayo Saka to England
Lol, see what England wants to give him as call up?


Im angry Ian Wright feels it is a shame if he decides to play for Nigeria. What nonsense is that?

I trust my dad to still even shock me by giving mumc more than half of the money if i give him all.


Its so sad that i see stupid comments hyping the mother role asif a mother can raise a good child single-handedly without a father figure. SM has really undervalued the father figure role, especially with all these scenarios of broken homes majorly blamed on the father.


So sad. This isnt supposed to be so.
