If I hear say Simon no good peren!

Dude is even better than Ejuke.

Make we see Onyeka na. Why are they blocking from playing now?

Make dem commot Iheanacho, abeg.
He needs to rest for the next game.

See as Eguavoen take jump eh!

Is Peter a striker? He is better as a left winger.

Sadiq don score

daveP:
No p. Can't even think of he redeeming himself right now.

Let us hope he does redeem himself.

daveP:
He's the kind of player this useless Sadiq needs no doubt. Only that he'd waste 3-6 chances before Vicmo begin dey go solo on goal. Eguavoen no try atall with this Sadiq starting.

Well, every player deserves a chance to prove themselves and It is now left to them to grab it
with both hands.

Besides, we need to assess him now as the tournament progresses to ascertain what he can bring to the team if brought in to help the team.

Is there VAR in this match at all?

Abi e no Dey function ni?

Our players should learn how to take advantage of VAR ooo.

Dis where Dey need experience oooo.

safarigirl:
Exactly

How dem go deck person like that inside 18 and no penalty?

If it were Nigeria that dropped someone like that, dem for don blow all the whistles against us

Useless

When no bi sumo wrestling. I tire ooo.

daveP:
My guy dey gimmmeee joy just remebering what he would have done.


What will Vicmo do?

He suppose become template for new wingers

E go fly come knack himself for ground Dey roll as if em wan die.

D referee no go think twice before him point hand for penalty.

Sadiq should have fallen down at that slightest touch.

I trust Vicmo.

Chinekemeeeeeeeee! Osanobua!

See miss.

Mujtahida:
EG want to bypass our midfield and defence using long balls. That's surely one way to deal with our press

You self reason am.

Dat one na penalty ooooo

Oga! Stand up.

Joebie:
I am not comfortable about the idea of resting most of the starters. I hope Eguavoen’s plan is to bring them on later in the game. Our starters need more games to really gel before the knock out stages.
He may not see this game as a very good test for the lads even in a resounding win.
Well, we’ll see i how they can pull a good win.

Agreed without reservation.

Icon79:
He’s a forward, he can play from the flanks while either Awoniyi or Iheanacho plays centrally.

But let’s Safari said, it’s all good, we’ll see today whether Sadiq Umar is an Eagles material or just a quota candidate.

O pari

How can he be quota candidate when you don’t have another options better than him?

Or was anyone not called that was suppose to be called?

BascoVanVeli:
AFTV Kelechi is just wickedness personified I just watched his celebration for Comoros first goal Like Nigeria won the World Cup

Lol. Make e no try am for Ghana ooooo. D kin shi shi wey dem go give am eeeh!

Papi85:
ajagun’s main fan here was forgiveness but he was later humbled when the midfield maestro left europe for South Africa

Em eye clear

Na so pple eye go clear when nwakali slips down to the Spanish 3rd tier or move to any of the Scandinavian leagues soon

What do you mean by his eyes clear?

Was he doing well as at the time I clamored for him? Yes or No

Ajagun will be “29” years old next month and you don’t expect him to be playing football forever.

However, he had a successful career from winning the league with Dolphin to winning Greece cup with Panathinaikos. And even won Motm in the Eredivisie and Belgium pro league.

Or can you highlight how he was poor?

Kog45:

Hmmm! Onyeka no go play? Hope dis is your own line up ooooo.

Triniti:
I’m beginning to think a Nigerian owns Watford, their obsession with Nigerian players recently is not ordinary

It’s because of what Ighalo did for them.

andrewbaba44:
No difference

Fans like one and he can’t do wrong in their eyes ,that’s the difference

Dennis no come afcon no be watford fault Na him no wan go because e too stubborn

Osimhen no come afcon Na Napoli fault ,he fought them to go but he couldn’t

DarkJeddi:
Osimehn was diagnosed with Covid-19..

That was the main reason he is not in camp..

That and the fact that he was already carrying an injury..

He is a human being..

One setback was enough..

Throwing in another was more than he could manage..

You have to be mentally in a right frame to give your best..

Yes that was why he could play yesterday

safarigirl:
Okay

I have told you the importance of character evidence when you want to sentence people who commit the same crime

I have also told you why Osimhen is different from Dennis, whether their situations are the same or not, the people involved are not same. The sentence will not be the same

Osimhen already had a place to return to, Dennis does not have a place.

They will not be treated same

I understand your point but I just wanted to clear the misconception people here have for treating Dennis’s situation differently from Osimhen.

I think that should be settled first before individuals treat them based on “their” prerogative or perception.

safarigirl:
He told him and pleaded with him and he saw reason

Difference.

First point is, he practically told the coach by himself he was not coming.

2. The coach “tried” to convince him (not his club)......why?

(1) because Eguavoen doesn’t “initially” thinks that excuse was tangible enough to stop him.

(ii) because the bulk rest at his (Osimhen) table not his club.

Apparently, Osimhen decided not to come on his own even when he could still come despite the Covic because Covid didn’t stop some players attending this AFCON.

Is situation is not different from Dennis.

safarigirl:
Nah, not the same

NFF let us know with Dennis, that his club is stopping him from coming over, and although the buck stopped with him, he chose to forego it. There is an Eguaveon interview saying something of such. There are also multiple articles by journalists detailing Dennis's troubled relationship with the NFF.

If you have any such reports in relation to Osimhen, I'm open to seeing the .

“Osimhen, it’s a pity that he will not be at the AFCON. He told me practically and pleaded with me and I saw reasons. I tried for hours to convince him but his health comes first which is my concern“

This was quote from Eguavoen.

Apparently, Osimhen did the same as Dennis did. He had options to insist he would attend despite the Covid.

safarigirl:
I don't know which one happened.

Could NFF have still included his name? Yes

Did they? No

Neither of us are privy to what happened and NFF has not come out to say Osimhen made anything clear to them or his club to the best of my knowledge.

Is that not the same with Dennis?

safarigirl:
The only reason he did not play is because of COVID.

There was no doubts he would have played irrespective, but they ruled him out because he allegedly had COVID, not because of his face injury.

Perhaps, if NFF had not omitted his name based on a COVID report, he would have gone for the AFCON irrespective, and would have played.

Did NFF omit his name or he and club made it clear he would not be coming?
