Osihmen won't play today! Simeone will start. If Simeone scores and Napoli wins! Hmmm! Osimhen should get ready for real trolling from some section of the fans! It gonna be a long season for Osimhen! I also think he is angry that he wasn't allowed to leave for Bayern! It’s deep and complicated!

The official lineups is not out, he may not start but if he is fit he will definitely play.

Toylove:
I want to see 2 scenarios in Napoli’s game tonight
1. Osimhen scoring. (I wan see him celebration)
2. Napoli winning a penalty.( who go take am)

1. If he score he won’t celebrate it, neither with the fans nor the players but he will pass a message.

2. If Napoli wins penalty, Osimhen will not take it but not because he is afraid of missing it

TheLoneCitizen:
Sadiq Umar gets first start in 13 months.

Injuries have not been kind to him.

I expect him to score today

caprikon:
The stereotype about the physicality of African midfielders has contributed to stifling their offensive qualities in Europe.

This thing affected Mikel and Ndidi appears to have come up worse... I hope Akinsanmiro, Eletu and co do not suffer same fate.

Ndidi was never an offensive player in fact he move to Ghenk as a CB

Victor Boniface for Bayer Leverkusen:

👟 6 games
⚽ 6 goals
🫱🏼‍🫲🏾 3 assists

Bargain signing?

🔴⚫️🇳🇬 #UEL

6/30

Starboytwo:
Boniface - 20
Orban-22
Lookman-9
Chukwueze - 7
Sadiq- maybe 2
Nacho-10
Awoniyi-14

Sadiq — 2 ? 😀

Aba na. Respect that name oo

He is just coming back from injury he will surely get his chance most especially when champions league starts.

MetalJigsaw:
I don't see Boniface and Orban scoring 30 each

well let see. Boniface and Orban are already on 5 and 6 goals respectively. Remember they have both domestic and Europe cup to play. Bare any injury I think they can achieve it or close.

Get ready for goals galore this season from our players.

After carefully considered player's abilities, team play, league/competition strengths, number of competitions and AFCON.

Here is my prediction of the number of goals some of our forwards can score this season.


T. Awoniyi (Nottingham Forest) 20 Goals
K. Iheanacho (Leicester City) 15 Goals
U. Sadiq (Real Sociedad) 13 Goals
V. Osimhen (Napoli) 40 Goals
S. Chukwueze (Milan) 15 Goals
A. Lokmoon (Atalanta) 15 Goals
V. Boniface (Bayern Leverkusen) 30Goals
T. Moffi (Nice) 18 Goals
A. Adams (Montpellier). 12 Goals
M. Simon (Nantes) 5Goals
G. Orban (Gent). 30 Goals

NOTE: AFCON games and goals will the counted since some of the competitions will be going simultaneously with the AFCON

NOTE 2: If a player miss at least 10 matches through INJURY it make the submission invalid.

Are you ready for the EXTRAORDINAIRE HITMEN?

Let go!!!!

TheSuperNerd:
Breaking: Victor Osimhen is only African nominated for the FIFA THE BEST Awards 2023

This is a big boost for oshimen confidence, he can’t win it this year but at least he is being mentioned but next year he is going for it. It may be too early to predict this but I don’t know why I am so confident about this.

Welcome back TheSNerd

komekn:
First of all it's not a big move.

It's a money NOW move not LATER with the hope he will do so well a bigger club, will come in for him.

This man!!!! You have not been balance with your judgment. If a Nigeria breed make such move, he is not good enough or age catch up with him but have excuses for British-Nigeria breed

Tessyy1701:
You're right

wow… just wow

We should be careful the way some of us here attack player’s age. Thank goodness we sabi some of em past.

Thanks bro

I don't want to cast you! You have been kissing only one moniker ass on this platform. Continue! I have moved on!

Hope nobi you ba?

Marjoribanks:
You read statistics, I watched the games. "He lacks pace tracking back is not the same as he lacks pace". Okay. Most of you guys do not understand the use of English! Just like you and others make baseless assumptions!
Whenever, his team lose the ball he does not track back quick enough! You give your own analysis based on statistics, I give based on experience and observation. Many of you here do not watch football real time. Just heresay and fake stats. Facts!
How many assists has he made? How many goals has he scored? Compared to Onyeka who plays in a more competitive league!

Are you for real? spitting trash with confidence.

My condolences bro @sNerd. May God be with you. Stay strong.

your first paragraph show say u be pure indomie pikin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can also ask before mourinho came to inter Milan where were they

🤣🤣🤣

He just dey watch football 😂😂😂😂

BannedLarge:
This terem moffi goal drought could be a warning sign to Osimhen that it’s unnecessary transferring to another club so soon. It’s better his maximize his prime and become a Napoli legend before leaving instead of signing for another club and there’s no guarantee of performing

What did you mean by moffi goal drought? After 3 games in a new environment?

Every players aspire to move to bigger clubs, it is a risk what taking because this will double, triple or quadruple the player salary. Lorient is not club to stay for long if the player know his onion.

Napoli is not in the class of Man U, chelsea, psg, Bayern, juve, Madrid, baca, man city. He should go there and play, earn money and become a legend.
If the move did not work out, he will take a step backwards and try it again. Life is all about taking risk.

People like you also advice him not not move to Napoli and spend more seasons in Lille because you are in doubt of is quality.

komekn:
It shows his exceptional physical attributes that are far better suited to the EPL than the less physical and far less faster Bundisliga.

Undoubtedly Haaland is an exception of exceptions and has fitted seamlessly into the Manchester City team it seems.

Double standard 😂

TheSuperNerd:
You are in the Zone My Top Man GoodJoe. Why do you think I highly rate and have talked about RDZ (Roberto De Zerbi) Football a couple times on this thread? It is partly because of what you are currently witnessing them exhibit vs Liverpool.

And the thing is with the right personnel, replicating it isn't that hard.

De Zerbi's Positional play system is kinda similar to Pep's but not entirely all the way down to tactics but the central ideas are similar.

In De Zerbi's system, he goes for Defenders who know their defensive duties but are also quite comfortable on the ball in the first phase of buildup plays and midfielders who are comfortable both in the first and second phases of buildup plays. He also plays with a "find the free man" concept. At each buildup phase, when the ball moves vertically, there is always that one player who takes up a position behind the opposition player who leads the press against the current ball holder.

This free man isn't paid attention to because he doesn't have the ball yet but why he is vital is because he is the guy who stays free to receive the ball after 2 passes from the current ball holder to his nearest teammate who then finds this "free man" in space who in turn transits the next phase of play Vertically. So much I can say on this. Been studying the man's system.


In the Super Eagles, we need bonafide 1st and 2nd phase midfielders but we mostly just have 1st phase midfielders with limited technical quality in the ball and in the vertical angle of buildups.

It is possible but we only have to pick the right personnel and Fortunately enough, we actually have them.

P.S: Brighton have signed another midfield talent that suits the RDZ system. Yasin Ayari from AIK, Sweden. Just 19. Keep an eye on him too.

SNerd.. Just take up the SE coach already. You understand this game. No cap!!! It always a pleasure reading your submissions.

Rogers has been overwhelmingly accomodating to KC much more than any other manager. From Rainieri to Shakespeare even in interm managers didn't rate him or have.much time for him.

Is it not time to look at the player and stop blaming the managers.

It's the January transfer window and who wants KC the most lethal markseams in Europe ❓

Fact!!!

komekn:
First of all, if a player is not performing I STOP TALKING ABOUT them. That's football HERE and NOW.

The last time l talked about Onyedinma was over 5 seasons ago , so what's your point. With regards to Josh it's over season ago.

I don't start flogging a dead horse continuously over the past 8 years.

Please go and compare the career trajectory of Tega and Onyedinma to that of Nwakali please them tell me who you honestly think is better.

They say "Money talks, BS walks" Tega earns more than 10 a week what Nwakali earns and Onyedinma a mere 2/3 times.

Luton is in the playoffs in the Championship and although injury has plagued Onyedinma he is a key player for Luton.

Tega Onomah is a £30K+ a week bench warmer at Fulham and not playing and hardly making the bench. Simply better players than him now. He will no on loan to Rangers or Some other Championship team.

However, none of them have Ben relegated to youth football, or had thier contract terminated before the time or been publicly offloaded. There past accolades leave Nwakali in the darkness.

Here and now NWAKALI will not get on the bench of any of there current teams. None of them have the indignity of playing for a bankrupt team that pays peanuts in the relegation zone of a poor quality Segundo division bottom of the league team.

Nonetheless, I don't talk about them AT ALL fit years. Yet in REALITY they are both considerably better than Nwakali.

Who is the hypocrite here with blatant double standard ❓❓

The way you yarns sometimes ehn!!
Please is player’s wages translate to how good a player is? If yes! Then most players playing their trade in Saudi Arabia are better than many players in Europe? Oga it is not only about how much you earn.

Wise man joining the rabble in wisdom.

I quote myself and tell my how what has transpired much beyond all expectation, is a mistake please without prejudice.


It seems V.O. Took my advice dropped from Bundisliga as I advised to Belgium league did very well got a move to French league one did well and went to Seria A and is doing better, this is his best season of his entire career.

So who gave the most objective, balanced and ⚖️ forward driving progressive advice me or you the egoistical football ⚽ hype man MC


Consider the Bold is that true or not ❓❓❓

wow see talk!!!

Where are your boys that you equally advice and they yield to it?

The fact is V.O was miles ahead of them in term of potential and now you can see. Kelechi nwakali too will soon shame you.

charlesemeka85:
Fans from other footballing nations are hyping prospects and talents in big leagues and top clubs in europe and America our own na struggler who hv been wallowing in 2nd tier leagues in europe na wey we Dey mastubate on whenever he plays a decent through ball

Shame on bom boy and the gang

Oga!!! Watin be your problem sir? You can choose to hype any player of your choice. Nwakali is a talented player, but has been unlucky and his work rate(which he have improve on it) and this is how life is.

This player have never do wrong in GWG shirt right from u17 till now, this is a golden ball winner, young, with a lot of potential so you can’t put him in the same sentence with azeez.

Please can you choose your own player and hype him for us?

Those of you that is not happy with continues invitation of Ahmad Musa should brace up. The governor is as important as a player like ndidi or oshimen, if not more. This man is doing very well in keeping these players together, the harmony between the players and the federation is handy work of Musa. The federation like his personality and the players love him. To keep Musa happy around the group, his best friend also getting opportunities.

drDoom3:
By the way, the 16 year old, Bardghji, who I said was rooting Amoo to the bench at Copenhagen, just scored. Assist: Paul Omo Mukairu.

Some people self..... how is he rooting Amoo to the bench. This is Amoo first match involvement(competitive match). Did you even ask why has he not play before now.

andrewbaba44:
Amoo made the right move ,everything mustn’t be Ajax

Compenhagen is too low for him for his Developement but henreven is good for his development playing there on Loan ? Lol

His going to Denmark is not a mistake .

Compenhagen doesn’t have the record of overpricing players so I don’t know why you think they will suddenly do so

Mohammed kudus and sulemana all came from the danish league to Ajax and Rennes respectively

Most times everything mustn’t be Belgium holland or Scotland ,and the last time I checked only 2 reasonable clubs Dey Scotland

Even our onyeka move to England directly from danish league. To me, the dude made the right choice.

Zanistico:
No be only 5. Because na PS5 we dey play abi?

Don’t worry see you after the match �

We gonna score at least 5 goals today. One of iheanacho or awoniyi to score 3 goals. Quote me after the match.

Pidginwhisper:
Ghana will be difficult sha. Even in their worst form they’re always at their best when it comes yo Nigeria.[b] Luckily enough, we are playing away first, so whatever ojoro/drama ghana is going to come up with has to be done in first leg and we finish then off in the return leg.[/b]

Personally I prefer Ghana to any teams in pot 2. Ghana team is not coordinated, they just kick the ball up and insha Allah. Oga it is not by luck we are in pot 1, fifa acknowledged us to be there

fabyom:
Invite Ighalo and others to camp to compete.
Age shouldn't be a factor but competence.
The reason why most people reduce their age is this kind of mentality.

Compete? Compete you said? Don’t you know how it work? The best thing is not to invite players like ighalo to camp at all, even if they don’t do well in training the coach will still field them at the expense of a fit and better player in training. Unless you want to divide the team.
