Ndidi is the most overrated player to ever wear the national jersey, I'm yet to see the hype you guys see in the guy, yes he wins his fair share of duels but that's where it ends- modern DMs have to give more than just winning the odd duels here and there...Ndidi can't progress the ball, can't shoot, his pass stats are average and his ball retention skills are average at best.

I see a player like Uche Chrisantus and even Hamzat Ojediran and I believe we've found our gems in these guys if even a chance.

Ndidi has only impressed me three times ever since he has been playing for the super eagles .right from time ,I don’t really fancy d old ndidi (when he was in hot form;compared with kante) let alone of dis present ndidi …

With the way Chellechukwu is going, there will be a total overhaul of the Super Eagles. People like Bruno Onyemaechi, Kenneth Omeruo, Chidozie Awaziem, Joe Aribo, Kelechi Iheanacho, Victor Boniface, William Troost-Ekong, Frank Onyeka etc may all lose their places. Chellechukwu is really shaking table. Super Eagles will no more be a jamboree for players. Everyone will have to sit up.

It’s highly needed ,no more automatic spots…let dere be competition .some players are damn too relaxed without any tangible value to d team ,just wasting slots

How I wish Thomas partey was a Nigerian 🇳🇬…c as d guy swallow Madrid midfield..A very compact midfielder 😎

yinkeys:
Wow super eagles should open the doors to championship players ?
Especially when Iheanacho was dropped
I doubt Akinsanmiro even makes the cut
Is Arthur okonkwo really that good ?
Coach has just two games to experiment with before picking his team

Una don start …d one wey Dey play for first leeague wey no fit beat Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 for home …mtweeh ,abegi ..make d coach call anybody wey go add “value” to d team

BankyGee:
Lies 😏😏😏

Y u think say na lie except if u knw d daniya in person .what if d daniya na osimhen or his pa 🤣

Napoleon55:
If u talk some will use the clubs they play now in top leagues to rate them ahead of this great team,someone like Andrew will even call them frauds.
Yet just one midfielder will hold our midfield so tight against any opposition,but now both Ndidi and Iwobi will be struggling allowing team like Zimbabwe overrun them.

Don’t mind dem…me I don’t mind any player from any league o…in as much as Dey add “value” to d team .enough of “club status” dt can’t perform
Against small teams defeating us back to back,over running our midfield..it doesn’t make any sense

This our present team lacks character,except osimhen and to a large extent ekong …u c dt chukwueze ,dt one go Dey play ball like say him na young talent …4 someone dt played u-17,10en years ago…by now he shld be one of d senior players charging the team to play well when d chips re down.

kushercain:
Iwobi screamer

Wetin screamer for dt deflected goal 🤣🤣🤣😆

Abi screamer don get another meaning

BankyGee:
Gbam. If Éric Chelle wants to choose his PK taker, there's a 90% chance he'll pick Osimhen. It's that sure.

Let me ask u a question …we av a 90th minute penalty Wc would determine our qualification to World Cup..who are u going to choose btw ekong and osimhen?

Daninya33:
Yes sir, he is no longer coach of Benin Republic

He was only summoned to explain d poor runs of d country wcq ,I don’t think he has been sacked yet

solonnachi:
What

Wetin happen…e b like say d news shock u..Abi u Dey collect cut from rohr salary ..anyway I was contacted to apply for d post but I declined it saying I can’t qualify another team ahead of my country, anyway Dey re still trying to convince my lawyer Mujtahida

E b like say Benin 🇧🇯 don sack rohr according to own goal 😁

Paul onauchu score 😁

This is enuf for chelle to experiment

Kog45:
Hmm you are right but with our displays so far,beating SA is difficult

Presently ….i fear our fixture against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Benin 🇧🇯 at home Dan our away fixtures (SA AND LESOTHO 🇱🇸) …I even feel SA would be our easiest fixture out of d four

opes:
Not only about winning the group. If we had won against Zimbabwe, we would have moved to second place in the group table, putting us in contention for the best four runners-up.

I don’t want us to go thru dt stress .right now I feel topping d group is a more easier route Dan d 2nd place route going by d technicalities on ground

Kog45:
Meaning SA on 10 points and Nigeria 9 points and compare to what we have now

Dts what I am saying dt we still need to beat dem win SA if we want to qualify as the top team of d group

Kog45:
Well I maybe wrong but I will not pick Bruno,Sanusi and Collins over Aina as LB if I have solid RB...I don't see what Sanusi,Collins and Bruno brought to the table that made them special,fact they are the lowest LBs talking about LBs in eagles history.

As I said that drew against Zimbabwe messed things up

Come to think of it.. even with d deduction of 3points ,even if we had won d game against Zimbabwe 🇿🇼,we would still need to win all d remaining games ,to qualify straight as d group winner,at d end of d day,d result against Zimbabwe doesn’t really have much effect

Kog45:
Do you want to hear Koko our LBs were very average and to be candid talking modern tactics they are not better than Aina as LB.....the only mistake he made was not substituted tired Osayi for Bruno which would have made Aina to switch but guess what Aina gave us the beautiful assist, meaning he got it right.

Drew that match was just the only minus

It shows chelle doesn’t trust Bruno obviously,hopefully maybe agu and d oda Hausa guy would convince him

ChrisKels:
Some of you guys that joined here lately are messing up this thread with junk news and it is not funny.


This is not your regular football thread please. Keep the junks away. Leave the junks on Facebook, front page, Twitter, Instagram etc where they belong.

U c dis guy lasan 🤣🤣🤣🤣

TheGoodJoe:
The source went further, "He (Chelle) wanted to use these new players in the game against Rwanda and Zimbabwe but he was asked not to experiment with the new players because it may backfire.

---

The result of short term planning. Give a coach a longer timeline and room to work within his vision. He might not meet short term goals but in the long term will build something more formidable.

If Chelle wants to overhaul the team, the NFF should allow him because he needs players that suit his philosophy.

Yes players dt can soak up his formation and knowledge of his playing style 😎

yinkeys:
Journalist with that type of reputation ke

🥸

yinkeys:
Is it true Chelle wanna resign by terminating his contract ?
Still rumour though

All April fool

solonnachi:
“Eric Chelle is considering terminating his contract as Super Eagles manager. Sources within the NFF say that uncertainty over his fate beyond the FIFA World Cup qualifying series has led to a dramatic change of heart. The NFF will hold a crisis meeting to address the matter,”

Osasu Obayiuwana revealed

Na April fool bro

Meanwhile wetin be dis 😆😆😆😆

Like Norway 🇳🇴 like Nigeria 🇳🇬

Kog45:
Ethan Nwaneri is England project,I don't see him committing to Nigeria.

I c dis news more as a clickbait …he might av gone dere to c other players not necessarily Ethan

charlesemeka85:
Lesotho doesn’t need to table the matter for FIFA’s hammer to land on South Africa

SA is 90% likely to have 3 points and 3 goals deducted and awarded to Lesotho

Even I read few days ago online that SA’s team manager is on the verge of been sacked because of this big mistake and that the FA are doing all they can to remedy the issue which doesn’t seem likely

Wc one is 90percent…if fifa allows South Africa 🇿🇦 to have deir way..no problem den,na to start to Dey field ineligible players to execute matches ,we go just Dey make reference to South Africa situation. Simple

ChrisKels:
Maybe I'm the only one who hasn't given up hope, and my reason is because SA still has Rwanda to play. Rwanda will fancy their chances to make it to the world cup, and they have an axe to grind due to the political tensions between the two countries considering SA's role in the DRC where the Rwandan backed M16 was doing some clean up.

SA will either lose that match or get a draw at best to remain in 11 points after being ducked 3 points.


I will say it again, I always fancy our chances against SA in SA. There is no better place for the eagles to play against SA than in SA.

Once d three points is deducted,my only fear are d games against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Benin 🇧🇯 at home


I av dis believe we can do justice to the games against South Africa 🇿🇦 and Lesotho 🇱🇸

ChrisKels:
Oga nothing concern Lesotho with FIFA's decision. Whether Lesotho tables a case or not, that won't affect FIFA'S decision as long as SA has been found guilty of breaching the regulations. How many times do you want us to say this before you understand it?

No mind d guy…e fit be South African 🇿🇦 fans sef…who knows?

Ppogbae:
Genuine question:

Can NFF do anything to raise the issue to FIFA?

They don’t need to raise anything …fifa is aware already …same way Dey acted independently during Shehu saga..none of d opponents reported us den …so it’s no longer a question of if d points will be removed but WHEN it will be removed?

7demons:
SAFA officials are in secret meeting with Lesotho Football federation to drop the case of point deduction.
They are seriously pressuring Lesotho to back down.

FIFA can act independently on this case …it’s boldly written in deir law
