the guy like dash money out of happiness say we win regardless

MetalJigsaw:
3 unreplied goaks ke? E be like u no get wetin u was use ur 10k do 🤣

I believe we go win but 3 unreplied ?hmm...

you have Ejuke, Simon, Chukwueze and arguably Lookman as a wingers, and you still need Olusegun over two matches. okay at least drop ejuke if you believe so much in Olusegun, and have Uche in the squad.

123jamessmith:
Uche is a very good player the coach would have included him. But when it comes to midfield play alhasan is a beast forget where he play. If you watch his games alhasan is everywhere in the pitch, if he's not tackling, is pressing to win possession. How many players have that kind of work rate . You guys don't see what the coach is seeing. In the case of olusegun, he's a very strong player. How many quality wingers are even doing well in Europe

we go qualify first before we go know whether we fit advance reach QF na.
guy u enjoy mediocrity oh. make we just dey continue to win AFCON instead of qualifying for future WCs because you don't believe we can do better at the WC

Napoleon55:
WC qualification and failure to advance to second round or Q/final,personally I prefer winning AFCON trophy to that.
Osimhen and co over 25 years can still play next world cup.

why not Uche for Olusegun?

and na BIG IF. because he will give them triple what they invested.

realpoacher:
This is €75 Million Repaid in Full

Even if he doesn't score again until end of season,... He has repaid his purchase price

I just come greet una.. Gala forever. who wan pay money go pay better money for the monster machine

I wasn't implying otherwise though

QueenJazz:
It's not bad if we have 2 ball carriers. That's how we build depth in the squad.

I appreciate your take.

TheSuperNerd:
Uche fits it yes, but in a differemt way. He is a Power playing, Technically adept, ball carrying hunk of a player. When I see Uche play, I see another Yaya (Mancity's version). Funnily like Uche, Yaya could also play all midfield roles from DM, CM to CAM. The all round Box to Box Monster. Showed it across the clubs he featured for before City. At City, we saw Yaya used in the best way, Box to Box with freedom to get forward and link up with the final third.


So like Yaya, Uche will be most effective when given the freedom to operate as our own complete, barnstorming box-to-box midfielder. He operates either centrally as the CAM (in some cases) or He plays (more often) as part of a double pivot in a midfield trio but with licence/freedom to get forward and make those strong powerful ball carrying runs as we saw him do time and again at Getafe in La Liga.


In Akinsanmiro, we have something slightly different in a creative sense. A Mezzala Creative profile. A midfielder with the ability to drift into the half spaces and try make things happen. While he is also expected to be comfortable centrally, he also moves into the channels between the opposition's central defenders and fullbacks (i.e. the halfspaces).
Examples of such profiles are Barella and Pogba. Akinsanmiro is in this light per his talent profile.

We already have Uche. He fits that profile

modified:
as regards the a ball holder and carrier

Mujtahida:
This Akinsanmiro. Is he really that creative midfielder we've been clamoring for?

Lookman - Osimhen is the perfect partnership if they play to complement each other.

They should both assist each other where necessary. if any of them is selfish it would reduce the other, because they are both top strikers in their own right.

dude is probably better than Adarabioyo

ChrisKels:
It is about time Chibuike Nwaiwu got a call up.

The bolded was the case

Mujtahida:
Okoye's issue is lack of confidence in the GWG. Or so many fans perceive him.


He has the physique of a good goalkeeper. He should be confident in his abilities.

between the sticks for Naija na the context. E get why I mention Russia game.

charlesemeka85:
Growing in confidence or getting back to form after returning from a long ban?

Bobo have been confident and steady for the past 2-3 seasons shunning out good performances for Udine in Serie A

with Okoye playing with confidence, Nwabali go chop bench. the boy is growing in confidence. Was convinced when I saw his performance against Russia

victornoah:
All this their agenda nna because of Nwabali oo. This is very disheartening.

i no get the list o

MetalJigsaw:
Do you mind posting?

I'm talking about the invited players list o

Bassey and Tosin played side by side severally when the latter was with Fulham.

AndSunGorilla:
Omeruo and Balogun would really help the team with their experience.

that's why coaches like take pay cut

TheSuperNerd:
The Super Eagles may not be Africa's #1 on the rankings today but globally, they remain the biggest and most popular NT on the continent. Coaching Nigeria is arguably the biggest NT job in Africa.

Even you follow dey queue. Start from Sao Tome, Mbanu, u no want.

make Oliseh apply. make u sef get competition

elyte89:
My lawyer shld we consider dis option

it's ONLY a sign he wants Italy knocking much sooner

123jamessmith:
Kayode of brenford has steaded following the NFF page. Is that a sign that he wants to play for Nigeria.

it's true

MetalJigsaw:
Guys is it true that the playoffs list is out?

impossible by AFCON time? make Uche get more EPL doings first, you go know whether Super Lig pass EPL as we like rate players by league

jihday:
this one na impossible fantasy o

u don watch both of them?
that Tosin and BAssey combo go click on day 1

Papi85:
Uche and Adarabioyo? 😳🤦‍♀️

based on seniority abi?

Meliforme:
Uche Christanthus should not be starting ahead of Ndidi, Alhassan or Onyeka until we see him play that role over and over.

make him no switch if he like

modified
I mean, make he no waka come, as he no need to switch

QueenJazz:
When did Adarabioyo switch? Abi na fantasy? 👀

then Frederick plays as RB.. still a spot for Adarabioyo if he repents soon enough before, not after the AFCON if/when we have qualified for the WC

TheSuperNerd:
That midfield is fire🔥🔥🔥 The front 3 is lit! But, this is not what we will have at the playoffs. No time for the crew to make these changes just yet.

In defence, Aina will be back in January. So unless we risk adding him to the squad to feature him in the later rounds of the Afcon if he is back early Jan.

Lastly, Where is Benjamin Frederick?? Joebie, no let me nod you! Commot Adara "waiting-for-england" and put our best Central joor.

beefing Tosin is understandable and valid.

QueenJazz:
Looking at this lineup again, it's actually quite interesting. Unfortunately, our coaching crew have proven time and time again that the way they watch our football is not the way we watch our football. I'd like to see them try this lineup at least in a friendly but I won't hold my breath.

For obvious reasons, I'm beefing with Adarabioyo, so not sure if I'll want him in the squad. 😒

Ajayi ke? we dey manage am for now

minfelix:
i will take Ajayi over Tosin for a starter at the afcon if you must remove Frederick…there is no way you will bench frederick and still bench the gentle giant Ajayi

until he is back to his scoring ways, then we will have that convo

yinkeys:
Lookman fans will come for you

before? Is Fredericks better just because he is younger? Granted Fred has a higher ceiling.

Emmy450:
aderabioyo keh?

today versus AFCON

Sugarboyy:
As at today, any SE starting 11 without Fredrick will not fly. Him, Osimhen and Bassey are the few players that plays with their hearts for the SE

Adarabioyo has come home already. he is just too shy. He just needs to say he is available for the AFCON. That is the price he needs to pay for us to forgive him, since by the time, qualification for WC is not certain (maybe yet). if it's certain already, then there will be no need for him.
