yinkeys:
You’ve got the wrong info
Peseiro was not sacked, his contract expired
He wanted $100,000 salary for renewal and they said they didn’t have the money

Not $100k, he demanded for $120k and d nff told
Him Dey can’t exceed $70k ..no agreement was reached..so Dey parted ways

minfelix:
September
Les vs SA (in SA)
SA vs Nig (in SA)

October
Zim vs SA (in SA)
SA vs Rwa(in SA)
so the last time SA traveled out of their region to play worldcup qualifiers was in June🤣🤣🤣….omo see flexing and soft life naaaa🤣….let say SA was rooted to the bottom of this group in June with like 4 or 5points, walai this 4 home advantage matches should be enough to bounce them to the top or second with a possibility of 10 or 12pts

all i can say is NA WA OOOOOOOO

C as fifa Dey whine us 🤣🤣🤣..dem say neutral venue yet approved South Africa 🇿🇦 for d clash with Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

Ragingthunder:
He's expected to play a part-role vs alanyaspor and start against Liverpool

I doubt if Dey would release osimhen for us in October

TheSuperNerd:
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro starts for Pisa away at Serie A Champs, Napoli.

Game on in 40mins.

If dese guy performs well,make chelle call am replace injured Fisayo

TheSuperNerd:
Pep seems to always go Full Haram BALL vs Mikel Arteta.

If not for that Eberechi Eze super pass and Martinelli's sweet finish, Man City for use haram ball collect 3 pts. Chaaaiii... Pep must have contacted Elyte89 on his haram route one tactical book. It is obvious.

Dt 5-1 scoreline Dey haunt baba 🤣🤣🤣🤣,baba go defensive mood 6-3-1 🤣🤣🤣

According to this article, Zimbabwe has agreed to host RSA in Durban. If true, it means a win might have also been negotiated.

Benin should win Rwanda and negotiate with us.

Dt Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 vs South Africa 🇿🇦 match is fixed already …my mind Dey dt South Africa vs Rwanda 🇷🇼 game

TheSuperNerd:
Abeg, Chelle's eyes should be monitoring this resurgent Gift Orban. He is giving Juventus defenders premium wahala.

In the words of the CBS commentator, "Orban has been such a livewire. So lively this Orban..."

His workrate is top notch and his shooting volume is the highest in the game. Higher than even shooting whiz, Kenan Yildiz. The kind of mobile forward who keeps defences really disturbed for 90mins and more. Full of intense energy.

Was subbed out on 89mins to a clapping ovation from the Verona fans.

Orban is back!

This orban guy too …we don’t even knw if he’s Togo 🇹🇬 or Nigeria 🇳🇬…Togo still Dey lay claims on am

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you for checking up. Just been busy and a bit distracted since I lost my faith in the Super Eagles.

starting Ekong was normal but Dessers over Tolu was baffling

Dessers not performing against South Africa 🇿🇦 was due to d midfield …no service whatsoever, Too poor

Kog45:
A good coach can't be influenced by anybody,fact NFF didn't influenced inclusion of Ekong against South Africa cuz what NFF expected was normal pairing of Frederick/Bassey with Bruno keeping his place and Arokodare starting not Dessers, reason why they criticized Ekong and Dessers after the match.

Have u forgotten he’s d captain and he would yield some senior players power in d team…chelle wey just come, u wan make d team scatter for him head …who would have predicted chelle to use Fredrick ahead of him against high tensed Rwanda 🇷🇼 game …I am sure some stuffs happened behind d scenes for him to start ekong

TheSuperNerd:
He let his guard down when he went back to playing Ekong vs SA. He "send papa" for 45 mins when he made the mistake I was expecting him to avoid which is STARTING EKONG.

Chelle needs to realise 100% not 75%, not 95% but 100% that to keep this job and truly progress with this team, he needs to grow bigger balls, harden his heart, close his eyes and let his unbiased/unsentimental tactical brain show him our best players to drive us forward. Inviting Uche and Onyedika yet not utilising them effectively is same to me as not inviting them at all.

Chelle should damn the status quo and pick the actual best.

I believe “behind d scenes politics made him to start ekong against South Africa 🇿🇦…you would notice he yanked him off b4 d start of second half …more like ;sheybe Una don c ,make I start experience,make I start experience…

How I wish Dey sacked dis coach b4 employing chelle . This man sabi

TheSuperNerd:
Well, it does happen that two coaches can be wrong. Or one can be wrong while the other is afraid to change the status quo in the middle.

Chelle's Mali kept the ball at Afcon 2023 (played in 2024). Only their game vs SA saw them beaten in possession. They outpassed and outpossessed the other teams till they crashed out vs eventual winners, CIV. Chelle's Mali also beat us and outpassed us in March last year in the first half especially. He played a Finidi side that tried to keep the ball, got their go ahead goal in the first half and only switched strategy to a much more defensive one in the second half to protect their lead which saw us have more of the ball in same 2nd 45... then ofcos they eventually hit us with a second goal in the second half.

The truth is Chelle needs to show balls across the depts of the Super Eagles. He already showed balls with Benjamin Frederick but still shot himself in the foot in the name of Status quo by starting Ekong vs SA. If he had stuck to his new brave decision all the way, we wont have had another Ekong blunder soil our WC Chances.

Chelle needs to take the hard and best decisions in the middle. I can see it. It is obvious and Benjamin in defence is testimony to it.

Ndidi has to be dropped from the first XI for Onyedika if we are going to move forward in the middle. And dropping him is one thing, but playing Onyedika with the right midfield personnel is another.

Chelle no send anybody papa o …for him to have d balls to bench ekong(team captain) no b beans o,I knw what would have transpired behind d scenes.its not easy to drop a team captain like dt,not to talk of a team like Nigeria 🇳🇬. Anyway I want him to invite alhassan Yussuf in d next list

TheSuperNerd:
I have long heard this explanation and it seems to only make sense when discussing lone DM/single pivot setups but not in double pivot setups.
So this attempt at analytical explanation is not it because we kept the ball against Rwanda. What was the excuse then?

Also, Club Brugge took on a side that kept the ball (Monaco in the UCL) and Onyedika excelled defensively in a double pivot with Stankovic.

This fallacy that Onyedika cannot defend is part of the nonsense circulating around to keep Ndidi in the first XI and keep making us suffer in the middle.

What if training says otherwise cos two coaches can’t be making d same mistake …peseiro and chelle …both foreign coaches

It was only finidi dt gave onyedika is starting 11…even though I noticed finidi style of play wants to keep d ball,hence play from d back (showed in Ghana 🇬🇭 and Mali 🇲🇱 friendlies )

Even though a lot might not agree with me but I believe alhassan Yussuf is more balanced with or without the ball as a DM for Nigeria 🇳🇬 but d problem is where he is playing at d moment (club wise )

lbrichman2:
Isn't it shocking that coach after coach has failed to give Onyedika regular minutes?
Abi is there something they see that we are not seeing?

Was this not the same Onyedika that balled last night?
Curious!!

In a team that hardly keeps possession, Ndidi and Onyeka will always be preferred ahead of Onyedika. Without the ball, Onyedika is almost like playing with one less man, as his defensive skills are questionable. His ball recovery is not on the same level as Ndidi or Onyeka, which may explain why chelle doesn’t usually start him ahead of the other two.

But with the ball ,he’s far better Dan ndidi and onyeka

Ivãn Jurić Atãlanta coach🗣️------Its obvìous Atalãnta can't dêny Adēmolå Løøkmåns exceptional contributions to the team, we suffêred a defêat today and tomorrow isn't guaranteed.. cause a player like Adēmolå Løøkmån wasn't there..

The pãst Coãch Gaspêrin hãs spoìled a lot of thìngs in the team, the team spirit is dêad, fightìng with Adēmolå Løøkmån was an irrêdeemable damãge to Atalanta,.

the players wants Løøkmån at all cost but Løøkmån doesn't want to stay at longer and mãde it clear Gaspêrin didn't only insülted him on media but has mãny times addrêsses him as blãck mōnkey in the presence of the whole players which made the other player Left the team.

Mōre players wants to make usê of the door if Løøkmån finãlly lêaves, the Bond they enjoyed has been brōken and without têam work it's impossible for any team to achieve..

If thìngs are not addrêssed I May quït from Atalãnta to save my career 🙏.

ESPN sports news reports....

On lookman

This news looks fake

minfelix:
it doesn’t need to affect us, so long Benin will benefit and likely qualify im fine…if they deduct that 3point they will fall back to 14pts and 5goals…they are playing Zimbabwe in Botswana and later facing a stubborn Rwanda…i see a 4point accumulation for them here or even less
SA 17 - 3pts (14pts +5goals) winning or drawing Zim
Ben 14pts +4goals(next win to take them to 17pts
Nig 11pts + 2goals (next win take us to 14pts)
Rwa 11pts (next win likely to take them to 14pts)

omo no go whine that 3points deduction oooo….if it dares happen🤣🤣….SA will be in hot seat

if it dares happen….walai Rwanda will fight their lives🤣🤣

ok lets do a bias prediction for next game
Rwa v Ben(Rwa to win takes them on 14pts level with benin)

Les vs Nig (Nigeria to win takes us to 14pts level with Benin and Rwanda)

Zim v SA (Zim to draw or do a shocking win🤣🤣 and leaves SA on 14pts after they must have deducted them that 3pts)

Moving to the last game 10 everyone will now be on
SA 14pts
Nig 14pts
Ben 14pts
Rwa 14pts
And you say Rwanda no go wan kpai themselves 🤣🤣

omo forget ooo that 3 points can play a huge huge huge role ooo🤣🤣

Finally

Kog45:
Felix Agu has been cleared to play for Nigeria

I doubt …where’s d official latter from caf or fifa stating that…we only saw a letter from the German 🇩🇪 FA dt he’s clear to play for us …anyway I hope nff will do deir due diligence b4 fielding him

TheSuperNerd:
Is this info on good authority? That he has not been cleared yet?

I heard so from one rumor and it looks like dt cos I don’t believe chelle will be so gullible to bench an obvious better option in “agu” for 180minutes for dt olympiacos guy

TheSuperNerd:
So who is your gamble for RB?

Chelle will stick to dt Birmingham guy or invite alhassan Yussuf over again…he played dt role against Rwanda 🇷🇼 at home and he was decent .


Another option is awaziem

TheSuperNerd:
Hmmm... could be why he was left out vs SA? If he has not been cleared, why did he feature in a FIFA Grade A fixture for us?

Dts friendly na…we can risk it ,not in a competitive match dt points can be deducted

TheSuperNerd:
Felix Agu: Super Eagles RB conundrum

I think there is an option 5 on our Super Eagles Rightback issues with Aina sidelined.

Felix Agu is predominantly right footed even though strongly ambipedal and have featured at RB several times for Werder Bremen, Osnabruck and even the German U21s back then in friendlies.
His composure, game intelligence, experience in the role and natural right foot in sync with his two-footedness makes him a likely candidate.

He could be our answer for the October games as RB.

Zaidu and Bruno are strong on the left like Agu so perhaps it would serve us well to shift Agu to the right temporarily while Zaidu and Bruno battle for the left come October.

This Agu option is dangerous o cos from what I heard ,he hasn’t been cleared officially from FIFA,make we no find ourselves in 🇬🇶 shoes …if dem deduct 6points from our small points wey we get , we fit Dey -3points …make we Dey owe FIFA points 😊

do4luv14:
What is this nonsense am hearing about the Nff planning to sack Chelle

Dey want to save deir face 🤣🤣 at Mujtahida ;please forward my resume to nff

TheSuperNerd:
Relax. It has been a practice since the 80s/90s. I remember reading about the 1993 Golden Eaglets and how they prepped themselves towards to the World Cup. They played close to 40-50 friendlies I think, mostly with amateur sides from before the African qualifiers till the world cup itself.

But I see your point, winning 10 out of 13 friendlies does not paint a clear picture which is why time will tell. I have not even seen the team play yet.

I get ur point too but One can’t compare the quality of clubs back then to what we have now. The recent CHAN tournament is a perfect example. I’ve noticed that our underage teams often struggle in competitions because the results we get during preparation against amateur clubs give a misleading impression of our strength. These warm-up games make us look flawless before the tournament, but once the real competition begins, our weaknesses become apparent. Preparing against amateur clubs acts like camouflage,the flattering results don’t reflect the team’s true readiness.”

TheSuperNerd:
I hope not too.

On prep note, they land in CIV today. The team played 13 friendlies during their Abuja Camping, winning 10, drawing 2 and losing 1. Scored 25 goals and conceeded 5. Time will tell even though Manu sounds confident.

Nff shld stop dese friendly model of playing friendlies with amateur clubs (both u-17 and u-20) ,it gives deceptive angle about aw prepared the teams are ,when Dey can actually play against deir fellow countries like Benin 🇧🇯 Togo 🇹🇬 Ghana 🇬🇭 and co (under age teams) ..this is one of the reasons affecting us to qualify

Nomyth:
In other news...
