ndidi is on yellow card Vs Rwa
Iwobi is on yellow card vs Rwa
Tolu is on yellow card vs Rwa
Osai Samuel yellow card Vs SA
Sadiq Ismail yellow card vs Ben
Ajayi yellow card vs Les

our guys need to be careful vs Zimbabwe, we need everyone in september fixtures vs Rwanda and Vs SA

Just Iwobi and Osayi need to be most careful here. If Onyeka returns, I won't miss Ndidi

Starboytwo:
83 caps, damn. Almost 100.

Definitely he will set new record. Wow.

Modified.

Really, just checked Wikipedia now. Iwobi is number 7 on the top ten list for 9ja. Just 5 matches kpere below the great Muda Lawal (only African player to go 5 consecutive Afcon 76-84) and kanu on 86 caps.

Although I'm seeing 81 caps on Wikipedia for Iwobi.. (himself follow play the Togo match? )

By December he should be closer to 100 than to 90. I want the goals to flow too. Will Chelle allow him? This role Peseiro gave though. I hope Chelle have more advanced ideas for him like Rohr?

Mujtahida:
Iwobi deserves plaudits.

I recall his game vs Zambia that year. Omo, Brown Ideye regen is needed abeg. That guy was selfless and a team player that year under Rohr until...


Iwobi deserve to get 20goals before he hangs the boots. I hope he gets on scoring for Super Eagles again. It will be a bigger way to bow out.

Truidstarr:
Una go just dey criticize player. Chukwueze played to instructions yesterday. He was more effective off the ball than on the ball. He was drifting from his wing to help out in the middle, his dribbling was limited yesterday so as not lose the ball and put Osayi Samuel under pressure.

Which Instructions? Sotey they comot am shapali?


So it is instructions that made Osimhen go back to help defend his LB while same Chuks was busy strolling in Rwanda half? It is instructions that made Iwobi to cross to his zone and be pressing players while he watched like say na him be Linesman?


He was terrible off the ball. Everyone pressed yesterday except him. He will do everything that will jeopardize the attack lately. He will take on 3 shirts like Sterling and lose the ball and refuse to rush to recover that very ball he just lost. At least Sterling dey pass back nowadays.


Chuks needs to up his game. Simon Moses was on this table until criticism and analysis got through and he kept things simple and cool and he had a sweet Afcon for that. Since 2019.... what's the Chuks influence that stuck to memory and he did it again? E reach him na "play to instructions" be excuse?? Habaaa.


He really needs to get back up. He may assist once once, but that overall game needs an upgrade and most especially, some competition.

elyte89:
I fear 4 some players in eagles most especially some dt didn’t make d lis(aside d untested players and onyeka) ,Dey shld start sending in deir retirement letters eg Ahmed musa ,iheanacho and co


Even some dt made d list will b weeded out later when chelle gets his right personnel,most especially d midfield dept

Don't be shocked that someone somewhere might want them both to "bow out honorably" with World Cup attendance to their names again.

The consistency of Alex Iwobi. 83 caps and captain band never near am? Vice at least. Guy has come a long way in that midfield. He met maestros there, they left. He became a force. Then he had his dip period and is still here. Acrosss Rohr, Peseiro and now Chelle, he's a starter. 10goals though. That shooting just the issue.

Newbies are on the block and they still can't give what he's got.

I pray dem Ebenezer, Eletu, Daga and co come through sha. I do pray

Sugarboyy:
Them nor wan buy fuel ⛽ for filling station

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

BankyGee:
Na Nathan Tella village people wan wound that one, na him supposed dey play there now.

Make he go faya prayer o. He needs 30mins at least in the qualifiers for starters

Unlimited22:
Nathan Tella probably doesn't have people praying for him.

E suppose don lock that slot down by now.

I've even forgotten Tella dey. Chai. Wetin dey worry am sef.

Sugarboyy:
Or they coach should invite and try akpom?
Even Maja was a good player then

At this rate, trial and error is welcome.


Why they no fit queue sef? 😂😂😂😂😂

Mujtahida:
Ekong na gem. I look forward to seeing him as a coach of the SE.

The leadership qualities of the last 4 foreign borns in the Super Eagles are not utilized in administrative capacities. By now, they should have some level of function in NFF. But here we are. Imagine Osaze and Balogun working in any capacity for Nigerian football by now. But here we are. I dunno.

BankyGee:
We lost to Benin without Osimhen - He came and we won 3–0
We drew Rwanda one leg and lost the second without Osimhen starting both legs - He started this one and we won 0–2
We drew Zimbabwe without Osimhen - Are you seeing the pattern? 😏

Another cleansheet win 💪🏾💪🏾

At this rate, It is really up to Chelle to find a 2nd striker that will play regular games and allow Osimhen sit them out. No meed to invite him. He's proven himself. The search for a 2nd reliable striker starts now. We can't even beat chest and say oya o, see this guy, he can deputize Osimhen and no need for fear. All the ones currently available, if they start then for 90mins, Ademola Lookman will outshine them.

Then there's this brewing issue with the wing.

If winger dey NPFL or English Championship abeg make they get chance. Chuks is offffff. Offers no threat. Abi he wan dey go the Sterling route ni?

All the games we drew, we must get W against those teams. No excuses

Sugarboyy:
If not for Peseiro and Finidi, what would we be looking for in the position we are now? Imagine they played 4 games , drew 3 and lost one, they won none. Ordinarily these teams, Rwanda, Lesotho and Zimbabwe are supposed to be beating home and away and that's what will happen with this new coach and the spirit he has brought to the team. There is no way SA can beat Benin away, I'm very sure. I won't even be surprised if Benin beats them

i tell you. Chai. What a fix.

Samueltemi337:
Uzoho join wetin make us dey this situation

that guyyy sef. I recall the Saudi friendly

semid4lyfe:
Two players that fit the bill are Elijah Adebayo of Luton Town and Akor Adams of Sevilla FC.

Dessers, Moffi, Onuachu, Arokodare, Orban & Umar, I no rate them like that.

Elijah matter still dey muzz me. Maybe he needs to move to a better team.

Chai.

We draw Lesotho at home kon go Zim to draw again. Omo. These two games 4 points dropped. The 4 that would have made a difference by now

That game sef🥶

A lot can happen in next 5 games.


We just need to never ever drop points at home. Simple

Sugarboyy:
This Rwanda that I just watched can't win their remaining games. Either they win Lesotho or not, to me I'm not bothered. SA should not win against Benin, that's the Koko

We just need any outcome that will make us closer to the 1st spot on the table. SA win means 13 which is a no no. You're right. Lesotho may give Rwanda problems sha.

lbrichman2:
They just don't have that special something Osimhen has.. maybe orban might

Attitude probably. It's been 10 games and the attitude of Osimhen and Lookman continues to stand out in attack. If we can have just 2 more of such, it would be beast mode.


I'll say the tactics today was out overall. It didn't click.

Afobear:
200$

Alright. Gracias 🙏🏽😎

Mujtahida:
I don talk am say once you tall and dey logologo I no go invite you.

But he played for just 15 minutes sha. Make we give am more time

Na cross and nod mentality dey make this tall guys get spot. And na Nff mendem get that POV. We've had 4 tall guys and none so far have gotten a solid spot in last 3 to 5 years.


It's time to bin the tall requirement as top priority. It doesn't work in Super Eagles

Samueltemi337:
Dessers we saw against Eric Chelle's Mali 😒
Maybe that's the reason he didn't even call him

He's changed a lot since then. He's on fire so far. But that game can be a strong reason truly

Benin and Rwanda will want to win badly


Benin win means they get 11points
Rwanda win means they get 10points
Nigerian win means 9points

This makes it 11, 10, 10, 9 after Tuesday game. SA must not win. Rwanda also.

If Nigeria and Lesotho win we get 9 and 8 and rwanda drops.

Best result is a Benin SA draw. Nigeria goes 2nd straight by GD. And 2 points behind SA.

Either way, Benin must Win or Draw to give us the advantage while we win ours. But Rwanda winning will be a thorn

Mujtahida:
He no be am.

Among all the 9s, sustaining Intensity overall, na Dessers. The rest get as their game be. Yeah they don't need to be similar. But all have been tested and now this. Chai. Maybe na tired teammates sha. But I don't like his off ball play.

This group B and C no serious at alllllll

Senegal and Nigeria mess up mehnnn.


See as Egypt still dey top with game in hand. Chai. This being our 1st win makes me want to swear for the last manager but players also had hand as well.

Subzerooo:
We have another match in 3 days time

Lookman, VO and Iwobi supposed don comot too. See as Chuks and Ndidi make us waste sub space. Mtcheww

Afobear:
Who is this Emmanuel Daddy Shockey leading your attack ?

how much did you get your tv pls?

Lookman still dey?

Cheleee ooo

Im sure Chelle is observing how intensity drops in last 15mins.

solonnachi:
Guy be optimistic na

Na only Klopp, Arsene Wenger, Renard fit gimme that kine optimism in 1st ever game. Rohr didn't even do that but it grew hot after 5th game.

solonnachi:
This guy has been studying our football for sometime now. That's why he chose a pay cut just to coach the most star studded team in Africa

Small small now. Allow him 5 games fes. Ahhh
