Jorg
Kai
Sterling

Vice versa can never happen. At this rate someone needs to investigate cos e fit be Felix or Balloon Balance-si-enu next.

Flourished? I don't know about that, the Spanish midfield was so bad and porous ( especially in the first 25mins) that Mbappe should have scored like 3 goals in first 20mins, France were so wasteful yesterday and have never seen the Spanish midfield been overrun like that since Alonso - Lius Garcia days...


Zubi, they are saying his club wants the fee to be recorded in July as part of next season financial revenue, reason the medicals is been delayed....And it might be like Liverpool debacle all over again
he played well for the control time until Deschamps subs took over and he too ghosted.


They removed their key man and the middle collapsed for them. That's why. That boy is too special to spain mehn. Pedri.

thats why chelle need to put in our players head, the mentality of outscoring your opponents….
Most African teams dont have the mental strength of a comeback, especially this kind of high pressure 5goal lead…plus you dont score these goals and take your foot off the firing cylinder, like the Nigeria v Sierra Leone game where defenders went to sleep after a 4-0 lead….Russia 5-0 Zambia is another testament that African team lack the mentality to comeback…especially when playing a tactical discipline/superior opponents.
Thats why if Algeria or Morocco wan beat you, them go bring mortar and pestle to pound you with 5-6-7 goals and them no born you well to come back
Omo i miss the ginger Legend Keshi gave that 2013 set mehn. Chai.

Anybody wey wan form big man should getat. Jpes brought that ginger back and it took us to the final. It will remain a standard till we win the next AFCON. I hope we're finding new guys for those on the fringe of fitness and time in the Super Eagles sha. An Era has come to an end.

After watching Lamine Yamal yesterday, one can easily understand why Eric Chelle might deploy Chukwueze in a free role in our subsequent games.
if Chelle wants to try to attempt to think and practicd that with this particular player, he will fail woefully. HE SHOULD find someone more dedicated to such a role. Chuks is jot someone you build a system around or on, sadly. Jo hard feelings. Iykyk

Deschamps start wahala with that yeye XI. He shapali solved it and almost equalized. Now all eyes will be on Cherki now. That's how it should be.

See all these big big scorelines these europeans dey gather sef.

Inter vs Barca 7-6
Spain vs France 5-4

Before Caf games go get this kine xG ehnnn.

As world cup dey come again, what's the master plan to at least frustrate these free flowing scorelines cos i no understand. They're superb at hacking defenses. So if caf teams wan use that template of defending na OYO.

What can they do really to come out tops? E reach to ask. We too rigid and sluggish. See how these guys wan die ontop pitch. Even Mbappe leave big man one side

obviously. It's Nigerian to get something for that low and double it and still swear in God's name that they're sweating and suffering for just being in the biz. Greed promax.


Get stuff from china and when it arrives port, they triple the product cost by the entire amount spent from china to apapa. Criminals.

Nigerians need more mendem that will spark price wars across every sector of trade and commerce in Nigeria. Many cabals have turned to Dracarys Dragons due to no competition. We need it back to such levels so the power returns to the people.

I can't deny the fact that Arteta sometimes doesn't get it right, and then there's this his stubbornness of sticking to what works for him even when a change might change events. And you can't also deny the fact that there are games when his in-game management pays off. That psg first leg, I believe that if Partey had started that match the result would have been different, and the second leg is the directly related to the result of the first leg. We had better scoring opportunities over 180minutes especially the second leg. If our attackers were pro-active do you think we would be having this conversation?.
Probably. But with all the resting and all he played 2nd leg and still.

Let's assume we have everything else right, the major crux is this empty attacking depth. No game changer like Alexis. We need that even if na 2 per season. Nobody should be feeling indispensable upfront if they're not giving double figure in G and A separately. We need to learn from PSG. But Inter losing treble and getting Inzaghi sacked.....
Arteta is comfortable mehn

I get your point, but I know no one who saw prime wingers up till today will just make fun of the club like that. It's OK to state the obvious and push your opinion without trying to make the club a laughing stock in the eyes of rivals, that's even worse than anything else. Giving rivals the right and points to make gest of the club. But what do I know?..
Regarding that bayern game last season, a lot was corrected from it. Even against psg, if only our attackers were clinical it would have been a different game altogether.
Tgey aren't making fun. They're seeing the decline in quality over the years. In fact they don't even use Henry again. Just Sanchez and Auba is enough to use and for just these two, big decline.

Is recruitment changing that? Big NO
Is tactics changing any of that? Big NO
Is there desperate plans to make a difference? Acquisition of Sterling alone gives an answer

If we queue up better ex-players and legends to soro soke alone, you will hear there's a problem that is still ongoing-the board gets the stick for that.

But if it comes to the current manager, issues yapa.

He had no visible counter plan to PSG. Over 180mins. 1st leg home defeat should be enough to restore factory settings, but he came to play same crap approach and then we came alive in 20mins after coffin don nail. Lol.


To be absolutely sincere, i miss the era of managers that had in game counter plans, especially in UCL campaign.
Inter lost woefully cos they had no counter plan. 5-0 is historically woeful. If we were there, it won't be like that truly. But we need to do what it takes

We can't keep relying on 1st team guys that will dry out and go to Luth again. This season is lesson enough.

You don't get some of us point, we understand the need for striker but it didn't happen. And talking about bayern game last year, don't tell me you didn't notice the improvement in that area this ucl campaign?. We need a striker and with how they're handling both Sesko and Gyokeres matter, I know one of them will surely play for us. But then we need recruitment in other areas too. Criticism is essential, and highly welcomed but you check am, all those people wey dey question the club and the direction it's headed which of them dey make caricature of the matter?. Baba, personally I know sense dey for the whole talk, but na how it's been presented that makes the difference. Last last all of us want bragging rights as fans and want to see real success.
Fact is there are many that have supported this club longer than any of us here. Some saw Graham and Wenger, Days of Adams and co. If they speak up and criticize, that's not caricature. That's love!! It will come in different degrees. Those repping should not pretend these guys that turn up week in week out with maximum loyalty don't have feelings. Naaah

If they scream today and something happens, na still dem go scream louder when trophies enter. Fact.

How many are not seeing that as hate for the club is hilarious to me. Sincerely. 2004

21years!!!
Well no be history recount time sha. But everyone dey see moves and trusted but now they are seeing patterns repeating. Query is justified!!

As for if improvements happened from that Bayern game....nope!
The bench remained unreliable still. Yes we made semis but symptoms still persist. Game tweaking problem still persisted.

Enrique and Inzaghi are two great examples of managers that tweaked things to get results this campaign. Woh. Talk plenty abeg.

Im sha happy for the emergence of Kiwior. That's the non Starter difference from last campaign that Bayern ended.

Realisation set in and the eyes are more open. Truth is we haven't been where we wanna be. But they owners love him, cus he's bringing in money and changing how the club is viewed from the past years, they see it as development and want to stick with him. I have no problem with Arteta being replaced with a better option, but since they still think that he's the right man for the job, would would we do. We can spend over 200m this summer without attracting any sections, so I expect they really do what's necessary this time and get him the players that fit the profile and not just any dicck and Tom that he or any other person mentions.
The actual truth is lessons are not being learnt. The top realization started in last season ucl vs Bayern. That was the game that everyone last agreed help was needed. Since that ouster, fanbase split became more defined. Then the summer came and then the January window, and it was vivid that someone was unserious.


How that suddenly made critics the haters of the club, i dunno. But in that same timeframe, rivals are putting in their work as well and that is the double blow. That's what's making all of this seem to critics that they need to be louder. But as usual, here we are. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
