Yes, FIFA notified NFF ahead not to play Shehu. Nigeria excuse was that the person in charge of the federation email was in the hospital at that time and could'nt check the email.

Oga d three points is gone …it’s a matter of time b4 it becomes official,SA self are already working with d “10points”(reality)

Truidstarr:
Na ordinary Russia some people dey fear ?

To me dis friendly is even unnecessary…we re playing against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and South Africa 🇿🇦 in sept …what lessons are we going to learn from playing against Russia 🇷🇺 instead of playing an African side dt plays similar style like d countries we would face in sept … and play it in uyo ,so dt our boiz can break dt jinx of not winning at home ..we av played 3 matches in uyo (wcq) ,all na draw

chrisooblog:
Nice interview comes across as very passionate man.

Four matches in I love the fact that under him we're creating loads of chances. Infact if we had been a bit better in our conversion rate maybe we won't work have been lamenting about the Zimbabwe draw.

The conundrum of integrating some of that AFCON JP defensive frugality into our current expansive play is the issue now but I'm optimistic we will get there.

Mark my words this team will cook in AFCON God willing.

That’s one thing I like about chelles team,we create enuf chances to bury a match unlike before when it’s only osimhen or lookman dt will labour so hard to grind out dt result..what chelle needs to do now is to work very well on d defence,and we re good to go

9JAMac10:
Liking the optimism oozing from this forum. Truth be told Nigeria should start thinking about Afcon and subsequent World Cup in 2030. This era of players don’t have the mental fortitude to pull off a miracle. When was the last time this squad came from a goal down and won the game?

We are going to the World Cup 2026 …either by topping d group or thru playoffs..we sha Dey go

TheSuperNerd:
So your SE coaching ambition is over then. You have thrown your weight behind your former rival for the job. That's good.

Neva …I am still eyeing d job

This guy knows what he’s doing

Going into September WC when everyone is by God's grace fit and injury free this should be our probable line up

Nwabali

Aina Ekong/Igoh Bassey Agu

Onyeka Chrisantus

Lookman Iwobi M.Simon

Osimhen


What do you guys think?

Any line up wout ndidi is dead on arrival..by now u shld av studied some coaches when newly appointed and Dey execute deir first three matches ,u shld knw Dey av some favorites …ndidi is one of dem ..if fit he will play ,even Moses Simon,he likes d guy too ,

Papi85:
good formation but replace ndidi with onyedika

I feel Deres something missing about dis onyedika guy in eagles jersey…he’s not giving us dt 100 percent club performance ,more like he’s afraid to let it out ,I don’t really knw aw to explain it,but I knw he can give us more Dan what we re cin presently in eagles jersey…by now,he ought to be benching ndidi permanently but Deres something off about his performance whenever he’s introduced

Sugarboyy:
Remove Ndidi and replace him with Onyeka as a dm or Onyedika. There is nothing Ndidi brings to the team right now that Onyeka or Onyedika wouldn't.
Then also, replace Onyeamachi with Agu. Agu seem more refined

Ndidi has a better passing range and can also assist Dan onyeka …onyeka with d ball on his feet is minus ➖ 1 ….hes good wout d ball

TheGoodJoe:
Fantastic news. Onyedika getting to work with Graham Potter is huge. Waiting eagerly for next season.

Hopefully he will soak enough knowledge from potter

ChrisKels:
I hope Chelle knows that his best position is in the midfield and not attack?

I think chelle might use him d way keshi used ideye (supporting striker)

Kog45:
Na sky we dey play am before😄Abeg na Unity cup cus I don dey see some saying make Iwobi sit down for Chuckwueze😲

Bro we don’t string up to 5 to 6passes b4 opponent intercept d ball…we were not confident on d ball at all b4 Eric chelle took over..that’s a positive

TheGoodJoe:
Simeone Inzaghi is still my man but he needs to kill the negativity. I hope Enrique outclassing him today will shift his orientation.

What can u say about chelle?…is he soaking enough knowledge?😊

CornOak:
Can we please remove Simon?

Simon na real mumu man

Truidstarr:
Bruno Onyemachi should sit down and take notes from Felix Agu.

I will even advice d guy to get a seat 💺 belt cos he’s going to be on d bench for a very long time 😊

And d mumu Simon limiting d guy by not connecting with him,always want to go solo and he ends up spoiling d move …mumu Simon


Felix is good

do4luv14:
Buh weytin Okoye do bayi

He’s going to keep against Russia 🇷🇺,Dts certain

charlesemeka85:
Boniface don become confirmed content creator 🤦‍♀️

Boniface is a gen z footballer(d earlier we realise Di s ,d better) ..he will like to explore and express himself ,it might be meaningless to some(d oldies) but to him ,he’s having fun.

BankyGee:
Yes o, from Janty, to Lerry, to UTDTrey to POOJA, to VDM, to Odumodublvck, to Tunde Ednut and many more... Them choke.

Omo na wa o …make osimhen no fit pick one or two old supporters from dis thread ….dis life no balance 😊

lol so musa commot camp ⛺️, go marry 4th wife 😊

D guy wey talk say Uche no wan play for us…d guy don Dey camp

solonnachi:
Just reading now that Ahmed Musa has left camp. Is it out of anger or what?

Na lie .. e fit be say na shame catch am commot for camp ⛺️….one small player don abuse am say “u no go retire “ mumu?🤣🤣🤣….baba just vex commot

Meliforme:
Chai, we have suffered, so this is the excuse that Chelle came up with it.
God help us.

Let us be very clear, a high pressure game is not new to the foreign pros.
We watch these guys, week in and out.

Even at that, he has up to five substitutions to make for outfield players, so what is he saying.
He can manage his team well for any high intensity game, if he is moxie enough.

This one gave him out big time.
I think I have been patient enough to gain proper discernment.

Eric Chelle should please do serious work on his knowledge of the game.

Ur complain just start …Sheyb I ask for ur support …u gree support me? 🤣🤣

charlesemeka85:
him call u for fone?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lbrichman2:
Abeg one question dey my mind since yesterday:
After watching Chelle's team again, shey una still get confidence say we go qualify for the world Cup? Or even win our remaining qualifying matches?

Make September reach first na ,we go knw

BankyGee:
This man is trying to cook a beastly squad, I see what he's doing, and I like that he believes that he can pull it off, but the players wey I dey see... Omo.

Na against Jamaica we go see something, those guys are speedsters and only Chelle's kind of philosophy will work against a team like that, what if we play Japan, South Korea, Spain? Still this same kind of football will work, speed, running, speed, running...

But make them tell am say no be Iheanacho, Musa and Sadiq Umar go "run" am for am.

These players wey u mention so no fit play for chelles system…even the ones wey we feel say dem sabi run 🏃,gas out for second half eg onyeka

I will advise him dt if he’s doesn’t find d right personal for his style he wants the team to play ,he shld adjust and adopt a style dt will suit our players profile we have b4 its too late(Goke7 advice) cos I am still in d offing eying d job 😎

But if he can pull it off,we will be a big menace to any team in d world cos dis style of play will always create loads of problems and chance to score the ppponents. We could av killed off st yday game by 4-nil in first half if we had converted our chances

elyte89:
Musa nacho can’t cope in a chelle system ,most especially nacho ,e go quick Taya …cos dis chelle team u must run for 90minutes with or without d ball except the keeper

😎

COOL10:
He didn't want to stress himself at all

Ur dressers suppose score like 3 today if osimhen
C his kind of half chances

Daninya33:
Chrisantus Uche will do well in Chelle's team set-up.

He’s tailor made for his team……papa Daniel go play gan for chelle too

Truidstarr:
coachee!!! Na your UEFA pro license dey talk so.

I tell u say I better pass dis guy …u no just believe in me

Truidstarr:
Bruno Onyemachi no be am.

Now i know y chelle no rate am…d guy no sabi at all…he’s like Aina throwback …his concentration level is very low and his defensive skills is a suspect

solonnachi:
I have noticed that the few times Chelle has coached our team against Rwanda, Zimbabwe and today Ghana, our second half's have been poor. Our defense and midfield none existent. Players get tired during second half. Why?

Because our players are not yet fit for his system

His style of play is you must run with or without the ball for 90minutes aside d keeper

Clint02:
I nor lie o,na truth I talk. I don't know the ideology you guys use in watching SE games,but for me I expect more than what they've been playing so far.

A team dt just had 2trainings together,u Dey expect dem make dem Dey play like Barca 🙃

I dare u to say a Nigerian senior team coached from rohr era till eguavoen era dt plays possessive football (at least string 5 / 6 passes together wout losing d ball?)
