You too

Only Mendy's heroics or Newcastle's off day can give us a clean sheet today The inclusion of Rudiger will definitely be felt in all negative forms.

Without leadership at the back, disaster becomes imminent when faced with a decent attacking threats.

I've never been able to understand why this happens.

It's the heat plus the pitches, plus almost all African players have speed and power so they can't bully them like they do in Europe

Make I no lie that sanusi take style be otu ,no attacking treat ,bassey isn’t a left back but he is better

Have you seen Onyemeachi play? Sanusi is solid if not flamboyant. Bassey is too heavy and offers no overlap and can be roasted by a fast winger too. Onyemeachi is the real deal

So na Onuachu this coach bring to replace Iwobi, not even Terem Moffi or Kelechi?

ChukwuEze your father

This Chukwueze is always useless for Naija

Nah it’s nothing

Thank God once again for Rohr

Let's just thank God 4 out of 6 3rd place teams will qualify for 2nd round and get our calculators out

For info re ticket price

You comot Sanusi put that heavy man Bassey for LB while chasing goal. Why not Onyemeachi who is very good attacking wise?

Osimhen na comedian. E miss clear chance dey look linesman to save am

Khayceeofficial:
Amokachi just said yellow card for 'consent' instead of dissent

My brother was asking who is the 2nd commentator

Osimhen still nearly miss that header oh

Instant response. Naija for life!

LMAO

Pereira lineup for this match is not bad. We are actually playing with 3 midfielders rather than overloading with strikers. Left to me, I will swap Onyeka for Aribo

@ andrewbaba44

It's like today pitch is better than yesterday own. Not ideal but better

Is "Nguyen" a general name in Vietnam?

Large portion of Vietnamese use Nguyen as surname. I have 3 colleagues answering that surname

It is more prevalent than English answering Smith

This news is painful to read, how heartless can these people be
Killed one of the girls and still increase the ransom fee
These people don't deserve direct death but slow and painful one

Looks like Abuja is becoming a no go

May God keep the father strong, I can't imagine being in his predicament

Kyle Walker is a funny dude

His wife is expecting her 4th child from him while his a sidechick is expecting her 2nd child from him

He's not even with the sidechick, nigga just scoring goals on a cheap fück on a girl he don't even like. Now he had to buy his sidechick a £2m house. His now wife meanwhile used the news of his first child with his sidechick to force him into marriage two years ago, and now she has perfect grounds for divorce and half his mullah. She has already hired top lawyers.

The two chicks dragging him sef are fugly. Same Kyle Walker arrested for exposing himself in a bar to some chicks and arrested for having an orgy with two hookers during COVID. Its obvious this nigga brain goes on hiatus when blood flows to his John Thomas.

With 6 kids already from 2 different women, man should just go for vasectomy and shag to his hearts content without worrying about another claim on his pocket. The way I'm seeing it, man's pocket will be divided in 4 - half to his wife, and then he has to share whatever's left with his baby mother. Like they say, women are a sure way to go broke and Kyle looks like someone ready to go broke on top his sexual urges.

Saka/ Nelson/ Odegaard/ ESR/ Willock/ Martinelli are not his products, they were already playing first team football before Arteta arrived. Nelson already had loan stints, Saka was already playing European football, Odegaard wasn’t his product, ESR was already featuring in Europe, Willock was getting good minutes.. the list is endless.

Apart from Saka, none of these niggas were getting good minutes prior to Arteta, and Arteta took him further. Saka was playing left back under Good Ebening at some point, while no big club was ready to take chance on Odegaard.

Blending youngsters is a process, one coach may start, and another may finish. Arteta perfected work on Martinelli who was an also ran, finished off Saka and ESR (pre injury) while Willock never played more than 2 games a season before Arteta. Arteta gave him 29 games, polished him off and raised a tidy sum from Newcastle.

Chelsea was notorious for paying for many of the best youth players under Abramovic and had major structure at youth level as well as a pipeline via Vitesse. Those Gallagher, James, Mount, Colwill, Mastsen, Gilmour are a product of that

Roland17:
Nwaneri is suddenly looking stupid for taking that contract.

Apari must have encountered academy players that failed but that has not stopped him from making decision like we saw today.

For all we know, Bobb may not become a star but God, the confidence he would gain from scoring in the EPL!

I mean look at Palmer, he had his time with Apari who helped him develop, now he is leading the lines for Chelsea. It doesn’t mean Palmer is the 2nd coming of D. Suker but he came through the ranks, took his chance and now starts.

Our own would rather run the ones others developed for him to the ground. In nearly 5 years who can we confidently point to and say our scam has developed? You think this young players in the entire academy don’t talk?

Bobb is a top player, and not quite academy. Many clubs have been hunting him from 12 years old. City signed him at 17 from Norway as well as a whole host of top youngsters over the last 3 to 5 years along with the likes of Lavia, Pedro Porro and many others

If your club was not offering competitive packages and spending on the best youngsters at that time, don't expect Arteta to magic up talent from nowhere. City Football group own 12 football clubs and various soccer centers so young players know they will get ample games in at least one of those clubs for their development, and they get lucrative offers for their age, world class training facilities and even a very good stadium for their youth team. City can also filter 1,000 youngsters through their various clubs and academies and present a ready made diamond to Pep that's been tested and proven. Most times they sell such quality youngsters to balance their books as a business strategy before even giving them a chance, that anyone they decide to keep, just know he is the business. It's Arteta vs a whole structure.

City have long flogged Manure hands down for talent in Manchester and NorthWest England because of this structure. Go and check out James McAtee at Sheffield Utd and Tommy Doyle at Wolves, these are City youngsters on loan there that can play for top 6 sides, and they are way down the pecking order to Oscar Bobb. City is low-key the Brighton of the big clubs, except they sell their academy talent at £10m-£20m just to tidy their books rather than give them chance like Brighton and run up their value to £50m+. See stadium their youth team play in, with a walkway to the main stadium, while Arsenal are still borrowing a decrepit Borehamwood, home stadium of a non league club as home ground for their youth and women. Arteta is just one man. The Saka and Martinelli we are seeing, na him give them chance, just like Nketiah, Smith-Rowe, Reiss Nelson, Joe Willock and even Odegaard to a lesser extent. He can't do pass his strength and support structure.

andrewbaba44:
Okay let’s see sha

We have about 2 games tomorrow to confirm this

Naija match should be in the same stadium as we are in the same group, na the other match go confam am

andrewbaba44:
Egbon You see this kind standard for opening match from host nation and you are expecting something more better ? Lmao

Na wetin dey fear me be that. But it's possible that there are better pitches. Maybe opening ceremony may have ruined this particular pitch, or other stadiums have bedded down their grass way before this stadium. Let's not write off the Ivoriens just yet

I hope this is not the standard of pitches we will be seeing throughout this AFCON?

kendrick93:
Funny how Hazard was the better player for Belgium even with a peak KDB in the side.
Since Hazard retired Belgium are not even in any conversation.

Dembele, Kompany, Verthongen, Aldeweireld , Witsel and many others have kpafuka/retired at the same time. A whole generation is gone, not just Hazard

Ominous when KDB locks in for 2nd half of the season. That nigga personally responsible for 80% of Citys title runs from January

Itsrm:
Ederson is not in goal na.

Iol. I see am for team sheet. I come dey wonder whether him grow him hair. Must have missed his injury

As my cousin always says. Ederson always saves what he should save and never saves what is hard to save

Goalkeeping coach will always absolve him to the manager, a steady 7/10 save performance each time

Nothing concern am with making mistakes and nothing concern am with world class saves either

Gordon the overrated English lad again

A coaches dream of a player

Airmark you late sha

Griffon:
That sloth.

Just imagine the height of corruption at the NFF glasshouse. You had a fit Moffi kept in your provisional list then jetted off to the mundial with Sadiq?

Like who are the idiots that runs Nigeria’s football?

I done tire. How do you expect players to be motivated and give their all when nepotism abounds. So they will risk injury and their careers and earning potential for glass house that carries Ahmed Musa and Sadiq to tournaments?

iamoyindamola:
I thought gift orban replaced boniface

No, that was Terem Moffi

We already have Osimhen. Moffi and Kelechi, what is Onuachu coming to do again
