Deltamani:
Esther Okoronkwo is that forward in the team that you think does nothing but she does alot..😂😇😂

She will be even more lethal if she can fine a telepathic teammate up front. For now, we still on individual brilliance. I hope they're be time to build such telepathy.

Deltamani:
With the coming in of Edna Imade is gonna be more choked ahbi Choker😂😂

The good thing is almost all of them can play from the Flanks.

Esther Okoronkwo is there also, but i think she’s okay from the flank as she’s the most skillful among the forwards we have now.. She’s also very underrated as she can play ( 9, False 9, Left and Right Wing) with her dangerous Left Foot.

Monday isn’t a Senior player yet.. She has been around the team for a while now.!

Osinachi Ohale
Asisat Oshoala
Halimatu Ayinde are the senior players in the team with the current squad. Nnadozie, Ajibade, Okeke, Kanu and Monday then follows..!

I'm already using senior player as a new drop is imminent soon. I hope Rinsola has her spot sha.

TheSuperNerd:
Raphael Onyedika Masterclasses are enough already. He is starter material in the Super Eagles XI and in midfield.

Onyedika, Christantus Uche are lads who should play together in the Super Eagles middle third alongside a third wheel (Iwobi or another MF if Iwobi is put on the right as a wide/inverted creator).

The starter materials are right there but noooo... keep playing Ndidi uno. Based on caps experience and no true tactical premise.

fully convinced he'll thrive in any top 6 epl team at this rate. Guy is technically brilliant

Roland17:
Sterling is on another level of Chelsea scrap. Benayoun looks like a god when compared!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 asinnn


He's literally showing you the best version of what he is. Which is average. OYO for who wan dey hope on on his be-quarter.

Fkforyou:
Honestly, I was more annoyed when Odegaard allowed him to play the penalty since Jorginho wasn’t available. Hervertz should have taken it.

I don’t know, Sterling has a good attitude that impresses me, like he is always trying to do take ons, make passes, but I don’t know why something is off about his game, I can’t pin point it.

Like, he makes moves, but they aren’t so effective, but you know that this is what he is trying to do.

Anyway sha, let’s focus on Man City, it’s a do or die match for us. We must beat them before they gain momentum and confidence. No be our head them go pick form. God forbid 🤣

You haven't forgotten the Chelsea fans rage of that season have you? 😂😂😂😂


The boldened is EXACTLY how he did that year. Make breathtaking moves to final third and undo every good thing he did ALLL by himself. That's Sterling.

The breathtaking part has faded off since that last injury at Chelsea. He was consistent at it that there was enough time to conclude that indeed, that's ALL he's capable of ever giving you.

That's why i was really pissed when i saw some gunners excited and hopeful.

Roland17:
There are some awful transfers in the history of this club that I will never forget…

Sterling just joined that list..

He joined from the day i discovered he was the one they signed las las.


If we get new owner, na to drop rule to never ever sign any Chelsea used and discarded products ever. They don't even sign ours anymore since dem Gallas days, so why are we?

Deltamani:
That’s if Madugu play her as no.9 because that’s where she plays for Tenerife..

With Oshoala and Onumonu availability she will be drifted to the wing as usual..

To play to someone's strength na wahala. Anyway 9 don dey choke but she's a senior player in this team now. She should be getting that spot.

iamoyindamola:
Kim kardasian Ikebe super was injured almost through out his loan spell but he scored the win pk which took us to the final of fa cup
This sterling is ashira oja, we should send him back tonight sef

There are some arrivals that you'll judge from the start because they're consistent at mediocrity. Seeing our London rivals extremely happy at his departure was enough to buttress that he won't amount to anything significant for us.

Looks like it too many weeks before that could be deciphered by many sha

80% of the times Partey played RB at AM was emergency and lock up when Simeone no longer need midfield again in a game(goan check). It makes no sense to use that to justify this nonsense MA is doing with him this season.


We NEED partey in the midfield. If na City game you need timber more, we need partey More too in midfield. It's evident baba no go return there till White returns.


Meanwhile what the heck did Sterling do with that pk?

Foolish bloggers. You dig up Vien but can't even find out about her present?

In all sincerity though, 2face is not the kind you also plan with but who go wan hear. Still, it doesn't mean he's the villian this time.

M7even:
The Golden boy of European midfield.
For Nigerian team, he is still struggling to break into the first 11

He's not struggling atall. They just prefer Ndidi. In the here and now, he offers more than him. Na since last year we don see say Ndidi levels don dey drop. I believe his time is now.

I also pray he replicates some Sunday Mba levels at this afcon.

M7even:
Chass can lie ooo🤣😂

You see emoji near the yes and you believe am🤣🤣🤣🤣

No mind charles.

Roland17:
Can we ask that M. Oliver never officiate our games going further? It is a reasonable request at this point.

The outrage is not off the roof simply because we won that game. If we'd lost....

Omo this reversed card would be so useless. Pgmol sef

Just watched a compilation of Ozil and Sanchez combo. The telepathy between both, i need it back again at Emirates. E for be Saka and Odegaard but

Expectations for NT big on Gift Monday this year.

ChrisKels:
3 more matches for Nigeria without a goal as an Al Nassir player and Victor Boniface's time with the eagles might be over.

He'll most likely get at least 2 more invites and if he scores in any or both, forget it. He'll get invites. I'll love Dessers to be on AFCON team sha.

Lush100:
Breaking.
NB: Arsenal appealed the card

Appeal successful. Phewww

O ye of slow thinking!

Know ye not that if the foundations be destroyed, even the righteous go siddon dey look?

Why are you guys arriving at this junction of critical thinking in 2025 after over 30years of cries for a change of how things are done?

When Corpers take about 60% of actual teaching duties at their respective PPAs as these schools don't have actual and proper teachers, what then will the standard of teaching be? Yes many pass because the teachers and lecturers prioritize memory based over assimilation based learning aka LA CRAM LA POUR, while teachers are bottom barrel of the payment structure as well, and with outdated curriculums that lack usage of visual learning


E go continue to shock all of you until you say Blessed is He that faces the government and fight for the future of these kids. Till then



OYO

I hope the cast features actual students of department of theatre arts in both Eksu and Fuoye, Poly.

Loops better be fixed so it will be a lifetime one and not merely a 2025 waka pass thing. Attention to details is needed

Both have immense benefits. But there's a reason why Chess is the game of geniuses and Scrabble still can't be tagged such till now. Kids can have all years ahead to garner the benefits of what scrabble offers, but what chess does to their entire building block can't be fathomed.


Kids, naturally thinking for the now tend to think 2 to 5 steps ahead when playing chess. The game also help build the capacity to see failure different when they lose a game-its not the end of the world as they can win the next one. Thar builds mental capacity to withstand otherwise bad feelings that linger on failure rather than thinking what next.

Schools that start chess games at primary level tend to have way smarter kids than schools without. Ask the Indians

Revenge time vs Tunisia. Let's do them more dirt than the 2006 AFCON pk shootout with dem bouazizi and co.


Afcon mode is different. Only complacency in squad list can be the undoing.

Initial gragra hope is precise. Let's see and pray no prior injuries for key players.

South Africa in that group, no chance.

Lush100:
Clubs that want to sell for profit cannot allow their player to be injured oh.
Injury prone player no go fetch good money.

At this rate, we don't even know 1 player that fits this zone. Na use till wear out.

Roland17:
Arteta, please, Kai needs to be rested, he is burned out, like totally burned out. I am not his biggest fan but, how anyone doesn’t see how you are using him is now border line illegal is surprising.

That man is exhausted and needs a break from games, at least 90 minutes games. This isn’t even about football anymore but the life of one of our player.

Yesterday, if you watched him closely before 90 minutes, he looked like someone about to pass out. He needed the medical staff to help him out after the final whistle yesterday.

I dunno

Both the one he likes and the one he doesn't like or doesn't like like that, he go overuse them. Na overuse make dem Saka, White and Gabu get injury.

Seeing Kai go down on his knees and palm to face as he see that red got me. Man already knows what's next. Fortunately, Cala had other plans.

And seeing him collapse after final whistle...... Totally exhausted.

I love how Atalanta dey manage Lookman for example. Overuse for forward guys don too plenty.

That moment you feel the injuries are to quicken Kroenke to shapali buy person

Can't help think that possibility

How Obanikoro fell off to becoming this still beats me. Was such a force but he's joined forces with the other side and since then.....

Unlimited22:
Which team be Arsenal Ladies?

How many times you no go code say na our female team, eh?

I was suspecting that gaze Odegaard got after that goal from MA. I hope that's not why he's out o

Make Arsenal ladies sha reduce that 7points to 4 points abeg. They've been phenomenal since Renee took over


London Derby.

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on what he looks for in a striker, besides the data: "A player can score a lot of goals, great. But I want to know how he reacts if he has a period of 6/7 games without scoring. That's what interests me."

" Watch an interview with a player who hasn't scored for 6 games. Who did he score against, in what context, in the first or second half, only with his right or also with his left and his head, only when the space is open? "

"Does he like contact and is he ready for the physical challenge of this league? This is very important, this is essential information when you consider the time you are going to spend with a player."

What a time!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

iamoyindamola:
As a scout give me Africa players that will serve us in these positions CF, RW, DM with the age bracket 19-25 based on our policy
Oya let's go

Naaaaahhhh. Don't do this. I can mention just allll francophones that fit wellllll. It will be easier to say that one doesn't just know they are out there. Am i supposed to get the impression that we are in the dark on this?

BlueRayDick:
I gave u two examples of 2 Brazilians currently in our team who are actually doing well. I didn't just write without facts; I gave u reasons why Edu's decision is not bad and gave u example of such players he has brought-in who have gone on to be successful and importatnt players to our team.

Aside that we see Brazilian players generally doing well playing for European clubs which is the reason why u see them winning more world cups than other countries and also doing well in Ballon D'or/WPOTY history.

Now answer the question: How many Africans have achieved that much? Do u even know bad it is that a single nation like Brazil is doing better than the whole African continent with over 50 countries?

What u call spitting down on African talent is me saying the truth the way it is. Football is more of serious business than emotions. Emotions will not get u anywhere; In the past when we had African players they were always leaving at the crucial stage of the league to represent their team in AFCON due to the awkward timing of the competition.

I don't care if the 2 in the team are currently good or bad or out of form. What i care about is that potentially, oga focused on 6 Brazilians out of every 10 prospects to scout and recommend. 6/10.


6!!

Don't shift the focus to the "oh Brazilians do well than Africans" pov pls. This is not just Africans issue. Other nationals are there too. There are many talents that are better than many in that Brazilian national team currently, not to talk of others.

I'm not here to denounce their talents. Im here to say 6/10 being from one country is highly sentimental and senseless.

Swap nationals and see how outrageous that will be. If he even did 6/10 for Africans, I'll personally criticize that kind of move too. Cos it doesn't make sense. But for now, since he's attached directly, that was a sentimental move for a club that needs several national that deserve a look in.

Emotion is exactly what Edu did. Simple!! So why aren't we looking at Germans since they have World cup glory too? You can't justify this act. This current Brazil team that many are saying standard is low?

It will be totally unfair to try act like we don't even have Africans doing exceptionally well and even better in their roles and are good for any top team in England or Spain right now. Not to talk of other South Americans.

Awkward timing one side. Talented enough to be looked at another side.

Edu overreached.

BlueRayDick:
Pissed keh?

It's no secret that Brazilians are mostly better footballers compared to Africans na. So many talents have been unearthed from that country in the past. If he gets very good defenders from Brazil and they deliver I have no issues with that honestly. Just juxtapose the number of Africans that have won Ballon D'or/WPOTY with that of Brazil and u will see that he's not wrong prioritizing Brazilians over Africans.

In fact let's not go far, look at players like Gabriel who is a Brazilian; see how well he plays for us. How many African CB's play as spirited and talented as he is in the EPL for a top club?

Don't also forget that African players can be a pain in the arse for any coach particularly in January of an AFCON year when they will go for the competition at a time when the EPL is getting interesting and u need all hands to be on deck. We have fallen victim of this as a club in the past.

Did you just spit down on African talents to justify Brazilians? Like seriously


Abeg forget that Afcon excuse. It's not enough reason to ever justify what Edu did. Never. The Brazilians he focused on las las, how many don arrive do anything unique like the Chilean, Sanchez? Many Africans are balling. Many European and Asians dey too. South Americans talented than Brazilians dey too. That was too low for such a position to do. Tomorrow, if we get one that suddenly prioritize Africans, it will still be wrong.

I can't believe you wrote a whole paragraph to justify this.
