The emboldened is not an excuse. It's real.

I saw a footage of their training session and Chioma's right hand was wrapped from the wrist down to the fingers.

Madugu said she trains with the team but the players know to play around her with caution because of the injury but in match situations opponents may target that particular body part to take her out of the game which is true so it makes sense not to risk her.

Alright then. I just pray she gets minutes soon.

Shegzdave:
I asked him one time if he watches our matches at all

I remember that question 😂😂

E reach to ask cos assessment dey always far from what 5 to 6 persons dey vex about.

iamoyindamola:
okay
You mean this one

Without much gbasgbos hin dey use hin own hand drop b2b evidence say he no sabi lots of stuff ongoing.

Deltamani:
I would have picked Fransisca Ordega to start from the Left flank as well considering she’s very strong and quite fast as well, she can deal with their RB and allow Plumptre forward a little bit…

If not for OSINACHI Ohale age, I don’t think Barbra Banda is anything to worry about consider the caliber of Fast and Physical Strikers Ohale have handled in the past…

We also have a dependable Halimatu Ayinde and Christy Ucheibe who can minimize their threat as well considering how they thrive in this kind of Physical games..

My Problem is our combination upfront… Ajibade must play from the wing, bench Toni Payne as she might struggle in this kind of physical game..

Babajide/Franny — Ihezuo/Oshoala — Ajibade

Then remove Echegini when she’s tired and move Rash to the Midfield later, bring in Esther to the right wing… Or you can as well move Rash to the Left and bring in Abiodun to the seal up the midfield…

The set up against England at the last World Cup is good enough to run them down, only Kanu that’s currently not in the team…!

Upfront combo

LW-Rinsola
CF-Ihezuo
RW-Ordega(sub Esther in for her or shift Ajibade to RW and let Ordega go off for Echegini, then Esther for Rinsola in that case)

Normally, if not for that finger injury that seem like an excuse for Chioma, I'd like to see her come on.

With a 4123 approach
Where Toni/Echegini and Ajibade play that 2. With one of Ucheibe/Ayinde behind them(obviously Ayinde)

I saw the Zambia coach statement about Unity. It was hilarious but it made one think our squad are having some division. Lol

Ordega and Toni should start. Ordega will make their LW come back to defend more and therefore makeit just Banda all alone with Ohale and Tosin to deal with.

We choke that Ordega win and switch fast to an in running Plumptre and Esther/ihezuo.


I however can't say they won't score us. Awry levels is higher and if we survive Zambia, Southie fit use passes kill us if we don't fix up now. Can we best Mothlalo after 3years?

Please what is the update on this gyokores? It seems we are back to our normal way.

The fear of it collapsing is back. Na this 10m dey cause gbas and gbos.

If Liverpool trigger Newcastle raid with Isak, it opens the door for Gordon and co to be lured away as well.


Lookman at €40m looks super super easy to me. Perhaps he doesn't want EPL again.

TheGoodJoe:
We used to have Eagle Cement (Later Dolphins) and Sharks in Port Harcourt. Used to be a showdown. Later Wike merged them (I think to cut his expenses on football clubs)

I think we need the return of such rivalry. It might just be one way to help the league overall commercially.

I hate this govt reliance in 2025. Chai. Politicians that don't even care about if their own voters are humans or mud today. Na club they go kon spend on?


Im impressed with what Kano Pillars is doing lately. I'll be on the lookout for consistency.

The NPFL clubs that are powerhouses in their cities, do they have reputable City rivals?

The way Man U and Man City are

How Everton and Liverpool are

Arsenal and Chelsea


Kano Pillars and ??

Enugu Rangers and ??

Naim suppose make am sweet

We made that Algerian and Bostwana GK shine sha. They're good anyway.

I hope we gbera this KO stage, our route to the final is via Southern opponents.

Morocco have the easier route to the final.


I fear this passing deficiency. Algeria showed us they can bypass us easily with triangular passes and cheeky 1-2 passes to beat whatever press and create large spaces. We need to stop the crappy 2on1 marking we did in the group stage. Dem go too suffer our ladies if we don't fix up this aspect in the middle and defense. The attack still got good passes sha.

iamoyindamola:
Arteta and his team actually scouted zubimendi, but I won't deny arteta doesn't have good eyes for talent
Since last season after he rejected lfc
The issue with lookman is his age

Even that scouting sef na cos of his connection to Sociedad. His easiest recruitment were those 3 guys from the Sociedad midfield. Anything else na Dragistan Levels.

iamoyindamola:
Ethan is staying

Sometimes i dey fear for this kid sha. Make they no givam the Willock and Nelson treatment las las. There's also Nichols and co too.

Spy360:
Your own problem is that you have no inkling of what's going on in the club.

Did you realise that Arteta sold two players last summer?
Why would he sell at all when we all know he needed depth? Have you asked yourself?

Have you asked yourself why the players he was willing to sacrifice were attackers?

ESR (attacker) and Nketiah (attacker)

If he was given money to buy attacker then why did he have to sell? And even sell attackers?

This season that you are seeing signings, who has he sold?

Stop playing

You're not this slow o, are you?

See what you're using as case study to justify i have no idea of what's going on in my club. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Is this what you actually use to justify why things are the way they are?


He's suddenly in charge of letting attackers go but when it comes to recruiting, YOU blame the board and the directors for not giving him $$??

Have i asked myself? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Woh!!! I sha commend you for finally crossing a bridge some of us have crossed 2 seasons ago. E no easy. Meet those of us that have no inkling about our club ahead. E no hard abeg.

Heinze Impact should be physical and mental. Let's see how it goes. For now, some of the players facial expressions be like "who is this again?" 😂😂😂


All the best to Arsenal. Let's cook and keep pressing that pedal non-stop.

mine3112:
What are they smoking at Liverpool? Isak again!!!

I want them to ask this question one day for our club too.... Cos... Slot no wan lost

iamoyindamola:
Exactly
We are rebuilding, others are upgrading
Isak to lfc is gathering momentum
I don't like it

See as Slot det utilize wetin Klopp leave behind. Solid team and players. Now he's getting depth to the squad and the TAA loophole may seize to be a banter stuff as that one don go Spain. With Isak and Wirtz, this man dey cook.

Then those new additions to Pep team lasan.

Expectations: Liverpool and City finishing ahead of us won't irk me as much as Chelsea attempting such. If that happens, they should End The Process

For now, we too dey cook. The Forwards combined should cook 90+ goals alone next season.

iamoyindamola:
Na every season them they give arteta hope actually
Na every season he they fail them
Na every season they say give him one more season

Until he turn the new Wenger(in duration only)

Lol.

Let's assume this next one na our own, our potential rivals dey upgrade their own apk, meaning there's a chance the new upgrade on our side go look like wiuuinnn if care is not taken.

If Slot carry this Isak ehn.... We go need still find attacking Midfielder for squad sakes o.


Everyone dey upgrade dey go. We too dey upgrade. I no wan hear story. 9 trophies in 21st century dey pain ma eye.

iamoyindamola:
Na today

As we buy 9 now, he suddenly wan increase faith towards clinching trophy than ever before. Meaninnnnnnggggggg....meaniiiinggg
Isokay😂😂😂😂
Inference ye fo fence sha😂😂

Chakam am well o.

Spy360:
So who is responsible for not signing the players? The manager or the owner? This is where you common sense should kick in.

Your mistake is you think one doesn't know what and where to apportion blame and that's why i see your pov as hilarious. Anyways you're gradually coming on to where we once were in school of thought.

When money dey available for attackers, abeg who did he end up buying? Ehn? Man pack defenders and crappy Sterling when money was available for attackers, something Wenger and Emery never did despite the stingy hands available. That's where common sense should kick and dive in

Braggarts don't think process



Slot and Maresca right now:

Isokay.

7/9 were FA Cups.

Fun Fact

All of these 9 trophies had outstanding attacking players acquired or groomed for it to happen.

We have no time for theatrics and shalaye. Even those wey no do any Process or Did any call for Trusting are getting trophies. So what's the excuse gonna be for the next potential failure before Restart button is hit?

Morocco path to final looks sealed. Omo

Hardrive:
If we are going to win against Zambia, we would need to play a counter attacking game. If we do that we win and avoid what happened against Botswana and morroco.
If the coach continues playing the typical Nigerian football, then nothing for us. This way the Zambians would be forced to come out and play thereby exposing their terrible goalkeeper.

If counterattack is the plan, then Rinsola and Ordega should start on the wings.

The kit still dey Morocco customs abi?

All the disciples don win something big except one.

GeneralDae:
They should practice shooting and crossing more.

Shooting was the same problem with u17 and u20 side at their world cup where they had over 30 shots and couldn't score. The Shakirat Moshood and Taiwo Afolabi set. It started from group stage and the coach did nothing to address it till we were edged out out the competition. Maybe it's time to make it a top prerequisite going forward.

Deltamani:
Count Okeke out, she’s injured and recently underwent foot surgery that’s why she’s not there.. If not we won’t have seen either of Shukurat or Usani…

At least by what she can offer based on previous showings. I hope Imuran steps up though. Before competition makes he slip down

Simply put, that Algerian coach taught his girls well. Especially the defense. Sign showed they learnt something shapali after we flog dem for friendly.

Overall, the two Shakirats are here to stay. Usani still not showing how she's better than Okeke or Imuran in defense or attack. They should just convert her to wingback abeg.

Like Olowookere
Like Danjuma
Like Madugu

Birds of one feather called Mediocrity

These girls won't be playing this crap under Waldrum.
This is rubbish.

These 3 and shouting from the touchline and rubbish outcomes like 5 and 6

So the last player to give a threat for this team from distance na Still Plumptre? 🤦🏽‍♂️

These girls need training on shooting abeg.

A more resolute team will just park bus and go to pk, especially if we haven't changed factory settings from that England WWC embarrassment of a pk.

semid4lyfe:
Why Ordega apply pancake and mascara come field?

We complain about this thing in 2022 o🤣🤣🤣
She wan maintain beauty and sweat ontop am. Chai. I no understand but she's been active this 2nd half sha.
