Una don buy hammer and nails Abu, y una dey crucify the youngman? It's possible the goals conceded are not no fault of his.

for the boy’s sanity he shouldn’t keep for us for the foreseeable future

Which ‘prophet’ go win this prediction battle now

andrewbaba44:
I believe you know me better and I stand for reality and the fact

Newcastle came with 100 million for osimhen ?

Osimhen played Napoli last 6 seria A game with just a goal remember

You don start ??

was reported by an Italian journalist so I think it might be true

AndSunGorilla:
My major fear is if Nwakali is unavailable, we won't be able to withstand the Ghanaians without him.

shebi na you, continue to dey whine yourself

Beat them
We have to take this match with all the seriousness it deserves!! For those who keep saying if we don’t qualify for the wc is ok, should pack themselves to a a corner and allow some of us who really want the bs to beat Nigeria to the ticket!! They already blocked us once from going to the wc and we shouldn’t allow it to happen again otherwise is going to be a record and a history in the making!! We should do anything under our power to beat them in cape coast and make the return leg a DOG FOGHT! We should prepare and put everything in place to beat them!! Eguavon who has been appointed as their coach only has one tactics, WING PLAY and we should cut and brutally block their wingers from playing and seize control of the midfield and is going to be done and dusted!! There’s no plan B for them!! They can’t play thru the midfield and we should seize control of the midfield and block their wingers!! We should beat them

A dude that played West African University Games (WAUG) in 2015. And 7 years later, he is 18 years? Naija my Naija.

who dey advise these boys? Your footprint is everywhere on the Internet and you have the guts to reduce your age like this? Even that 24/25 sef I no believe, this guy no go less than 28

komekn:
There was a news report not sure how authentic about a senior NFF official trying to manipulate the MRI results to favour his to sponsored player.

don’t see anything bad here, the unnamed NFF member only called for verification of results. Fifa/CAF run these tests don’t see how anybody can manipulate them

komekn:
Why do you have to misrepresent the facts essentially tell lies, what are you trying to prove.

Napoli lost to Inter Milan 3-2, Victors last game in Seria A on the 21st November before he got injured, the next Seria A game was against Lazio the won that game 4 -0.

Prior to Victor Osimhen injury who was the highest goal scorer in the team ❓

By all means big up your favourite player but do it without misrepresentation.

eerrmmm, even tho I don’t really agree with him but aren’t you proving him right with this screenshot? 3 wins in 9 games including defeats to Spezia and Empoli

drDoom3:
This is why I don't like Nigerian journalists. They can be so intelligent but also so sentimental.

So Balogun and Etebo would have been solid additions to the team while Dennis who was our most in form player before the tournament wouldn't have? Ighalo who only a few months ago they were shouting for him not to come back is who they are now regarding as our savior to solve our striking issues abi? Look at how OJB disgraced himself globally some weeks ago for example.

Please, let's learn to see and say things for what they are. That is why, any day, any time, Edafe Elegbete is still my go-to Nigerian journalist even ahead of etablished juggernauts like Colin Udoh.

how?

drDoom3:
Won a second penalty but his team's PK taker wasted it.

noticed this at Afcon, he’s a foul magnet

maidaboi:
Valentine Ozornwafor start his 5th game in a row

ended up being his team’s best player. 5 clearances 2 blocked shots 2 tackles, 3 ground duels won 5 aerial duels won

Meliforme:
It is a player like Kelechi Nwakali that makes a team tick. He is like a glue that holds a team at the center.

It is not just myopic, it is foolish to talk down on what a Nwakali can bring.
It is so evident that we need his abilities.

If you have any problem with his attitude, say it.
Don't berate his skill and contribution.

Hmmmmm, Kelechi I know you are the one behind this monicke

Joezinho:
Eguavoen took the job knowing fully well that there's no margin for error..

Eguavoen is just the Ole Gunnar Solksjaer version of Rohr since he talks a good game and actually played some decent attacking football in the group stage of the AFCON...

Bitter truth is that both are outdated coaches..

Nawa o. Play 4 win 3 loose 1 = outdated coach. If he’s not outdated nko

Danielnino00:
Lol .. LiveScore fans..Then plenty everywhere.. Anybody that wants to label Eguavon a failure is doing so out of painment and not reality..

The main reason I'm supporting him to continue is because I saw a lot of improvement in the team under him.. Individually, some players like Simon, Ekong and Ndidi put in the kind of performance we have always wanted from them, while Aina and Aribo were given more freedom to roam. As a team, we pressed more, attacked better, retained possession better and moved the ball around better.. Even Eguavon's hardcore critics can't deny the facts on ground... One moment of bad luck doesn't mean there won't be better ones ahead.

I remember when Klopp took over from Rodgers in the middle of the season.. Our performance greatly improved with the same corp of players Rodgers was playing rubbish with..That same season we reached two cup finals but were unlucky to lose both. It didn't stop most of the fans from believing in Klopp..We know what happened afterward..

Eguavon is no Klopp, and I'm not saying we should give him 5 years like Rohr.. But looking at how good he made the team look despite having a short period of time and unavailable key players to prepare, I'd say he has earned the rights to another chance!

Rohr earned his 5 years if Eguavoen too can earn it no problem. One thing I’ve noticed about Eguavoen critics both here and on twitter is that they are more emotional than logical

Danielnino00:
Losing to CAR at home is actually more shameful than crashing out in the round of 16 of AFCON in my books...At least Tunisia are a formidable side.. They may not have a good squad like he, but they are well known big boys on the continent..We lost to a top team!
But Central African Republic? Come off it...

going by Fifa ranking Tunisia is better than Nigeria

drDoom3:
Ighalo did not carry us 2019, dead that talk. The number of big chances he missed surpassed the goals he scored by far. Remeber vs. Guinea where he refused to square the ball to Musa for a tap in? vs. SA where he missed a one-on-one Chuks set up nicely for him? the only game he really carried us in was that Cameroon game... His other games had goals from deflected shots, PKs and tap-ins.

Nawa o, what is this bad belleism??

BascoVanVeli:
Lets first see the robot abeg humans are to partial.

IMO it’s the being partial that makes it fun. Barca vs Chelsea have played lots of games but the Overebo show is easily remembered due to the ref

andrewbaba44:
I don’t like when some of you try to discredit some players efforts

Go and check immobile of lazio PK

Person score Pk you Dey try talk say no be him win them ,must he be the one to win those PK ?

and exactly why Immobile is still stuck in Lazio, I think he played for Dortmund and athletico but had little impact. He’s just a penalty merchant . I’m not saying he’s a bad player or trying to discredit him. The player I’m really worried about is Onuachu, a proven goalscorer but nobody is even looking towards him

charlesemeka85:
20 tap in

8 penalties scored, didn’t even win any of them

mostob:
It maybe passion. One guy told me some days ago that most of the full breed Nigerian players will always be ready to go extra miles and even sacrifice anything for the country's success unlike the FBs that are just playing for the country for playing sake. It sounded like a nonsense to me before but I think he got a point.

he doesn’t have a point

PurpleHouse:
Ezenwa became prone to errors by becoming scared and rushing out of his lines, thereby exposing our defence to conceed goals. Hence, he was dropped.

6 WCQ games, Ezenwa was in goal for 4 of them and conceded no goal from open play

jihday:
Amoo joins Copenhagen

Copenhagen latest signing

Amoo joins Copenhagen

Barryseal:
Thanks for your report all the way from Ikenne.

the highlight is everywhere, I trust basco will soon post it

Joezinho:
Even the Noble guy is a bench warmer with enyimba.

Olorunleke Ojo is the number one shot stopper that relegated Noble to the bench. And yet noble gets picked ahead of him.

Ojo isn’t national team material, too error prone.

forgiveness:
I read somewhere he is the captain of his team. That’s very impressive.

Agu na business man. Na ejunge de run belle.

everything no dey pass egunje to you people

PurpleHouse:
We need a miracle.

That was how Ezenwa came blistering with potential untill fowl yansh open. Na only God fit help us for GoalKeeper matter.

But. Me think what we need madly is a solid AM. Once we solve that, we can cope and score more goals even if we conceed. We tend to depend too much on wingers. Those days are long gone. Rohr made same mistake in 2019. We need a solid midfield to solidify our wingers and make us compact.

We can do wonders if we qualify for Qatar.

he made no mistake leading to a goal, he was robbed of that number 1 position

darkelf:
This season...yes

He doesn't even play in the first team again

the first time I saw him play was 2019 and he wasn’t good enough

Barryseal:
Apparently Eguavoen is in Ikenne to watch Remo vs Rivers with the 2 most in-form goalkeepers in Victor Sochima and Kayode Bankole on show.
Hopefully this is the start to the end of Okoye and Uzoho monkey business.

both them played nonsense

comodo:
I think it was politics that made us not to go with the better option we had then. This GK in Orlando pirates that was in goal in our friendly with Germany. Was in the best in the PSL then, but Bora Multivitamin dropped him for Dodo mayana. With the flimsy excuse that he is short.

it was Ike that kept against Germany, he got injured later and couldn’t make the World Cup

TheGoodJoe:

When you think of Atlanta 96 squad, having Emmanuel Babayaro, Abiodun Baruwa, and Joseph Dosu. To me, personal choice, Dosu was even the weakest.

Abiodun Baruwa was the best penalty keeper I ever saw. He was so good at close range. Then now, it looks like if we can not find good keepers for the country and it has gone on for too long. I remember Ike Shorunmu, I think against Germany was mind-blowing. Save after save.

Now we get frightened when a test come for keepers. I hope this get sorted out soon.

all these guys you mentioned aside from Ike were average at best, ahead of ‘98 we wanted to manage baruwa but he threw away his chances in that Yugoslavia friendly, we had to go and bring Rufai from holiday for the World Cup

Barryseal:
Arthur Okonkwo looks talented and to be honest much more talented than Uzoho and Okoye but he needs to play first team football not reserve league. Hopefully he goes on loan next season as Arsenal are getting a 2nd choice GK from MLS.

At the home front, I don't think Rohr was properly briefed on the goalkeeping potentials back in the league. Ezenwa at a point was 2nd choice for his club but top class for the Super Eagles. A top rated goalkeeper like Afelokai has been displaced by a young Sochima at Rivers Utd. That's the kind of potential we have in that position. What these guys truly need is exposure and proper conditioning.

Our Olympics and U20 teams have always had goalkeepers from home and they never failed us at any tournament with errors to the levels we have seen with Uzoho and Okoye.

Afelokai is a poor keeper tho
