Stop this,it doesn't make sense.
Do u really think Yekini and Okocha would have attained legendary status if they had spent their prime years in Saudi Arabia and Asia playing football?
When Okocha have often been criticized for not playing for top club self.
Now u want Osimhen move out of Europe and cut short his upward growing career because of quicker money .

Omo, ain't gonna lie. I enjoyed this Unity Cup tournament pass how I expected...

Éric Chelle is just Hansi Flick-ing these players, they now play as if they're fighting for something, even though his substitutions are not sharp sometimes - but I believe he's still testing different players for different purposes and situations. In his press conference, he said If his subs go wrong, he'll take the blame, but he's still looking for that player that'll give him what he wants as the game is going on, "Maybe I'll look for a player that can score in the last minute of the game", indicating that he's focused on winning his games with crazy score lines, he just needs these friendlies to test those theories and fortunately, we've gotten some solid players. Going forward, when our full squad is available for the WCQ, we should play better and be more solid. This man brought out the best in a C team, our B team were beaten in Uyo here when Eguavoen was in charge, wotowoto.

Ola Aina will not make the mistakes Ismaila was making today, with Agu on the left, Calvin Bassey, Fredrick, Igoh, Ekong, Onyemaechi, etc, we already have a good defence.

With Uche, Bashiru, Iwobi, Ndidi, Onyeka, Onyedika etc, the midfield is shaping up.

With Lookman, Chukwueze, Osimhen, Dessers, Tolu, Tella, Simon, etc, the forward line is sharp.

Thank God we're playing Russia next and the lineup is a little more solid than the Unity Cup's, and thank God the odds are even against us and Russia ranks above us in the FIFA World Ranking, we'll see how Chelle tackles this new challenge. He's still UNBEATEN in 4 games as head coach.

Éric Chelle is a process. Trust it. 😁

TheSuperNerd:
It is significant that all the debutants impressed heavily today and are expected to be key going forward for the remaining WCQs and the Afcon in Morocco.

✅️Benjamin Frederick, marvel at the back

✅️Felix Agu, did well on his debut owning that left side

✅️Christantus Uche, instant top quality upgrade in midfield. We could all see it plus he has the mental profile of a born winner.

Emmy450:
Omo, as we no win "AFCOAN" make we use "unity cup" take guide this period

Goke7:
For those who value the unity cup, congratulations 😂

Ppogbae:

minfelix:

Amedino99:
that is the quintessential Nigerian voter for you. Weigh two candidates together, one is clearly better but who will he vote for? The one that speaks his language. Instead of owning up to his mistake of wrong choice of leader, he will rather choose to blame a private citizen for the reason his home town is still stuck in the pre colonial era. All the governors sworn in since the state was created spoke the highly necessary native tongue, how has it brought any positive impact to his hometown?
4 years is going, there has been little to no development and your quintessential Nigerian voter is not bothered.He is not worried. There are plenty rich private citizens you can hold accountable for the lack of development.He is consoled with the fact that atleast the governor can speak his language.

We have seen both in eagles and it's absurd talking about Okoye in Chippa and Nwabali in Udinese.......

AndSunGorilla:
The food they ate. Too much starch na why Ekong could not carry his leg and kick out the ball that Zim scored. Same with Osayi, he no fit run again, too much Fufu.

7demons:
Ghana, Nigeria, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago will gather in London May 25 to compete for the prestigious Unity Cup Trophy.

do4luv14:
Am seeing this as the players not the Coach,

do4luv14:
No dey report this super chickens here again bikoe

joelsteron:
Chelle should try this in friendly

GK: Stanley Nwabali

DEF: Bruno Onyemaechi, Igoh Ogbu, Jordan Torunarigha, Ola Aina

MID: Moses Simon, Frank Onyeka, Raphael Onyedika, Samuel Chukwueze

FWD: Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman

do4luv14:
Abandoning our defensive shape in a 352, for a diamond formation of 442 had never and will never suit us, unless we have a Ramos, Buffon and the likes in our back four,

That 442 had been more curses than blessings

yinkeys:
Nothing is impossible
Rwanda did it
Mali with this coach did it
Start front 3
Lookman Osimhen Uche in a 3-4-3 formation
Let’s see if their father will not concede
We have better & more athletic forwards
Ejuke, Simon, Tella, Chukwueze, Orban, Dele Bashiru for reserves
South Africa will concede, forget that thing
If you watched Morocco v Belgium in the last World Cup, you’d know anything is possible if we field players on merit & with the right tactics
It’s 100% possible
We beat Ivory Coast first leg on their turf
We just have to believe provided the coach, players & NFF make no silly mistake
They need to beat Rwanda at home too

yinkeys:
If we surprise the South Africans by playing 3-4-3 we stand a chance against them on their turf & we would not concede
They would be shocked that we switched formation
3-4-3 has been saving our defense
It hides our flaws
Especially with Onyeka in the team
I hope they invite Uche too, players that can create goals by themselves because we do not have team cohesion like the South Africans do
Arokodare & Boniface are not those types of players to force gameplay
I wish Orban was in form
I don’t know the 2nd or 3rd strikers that would be invited next, but the coach has to be very selective about it. We need fighters that can dictate the tune of the game or force gameplay not necessarily players who operate in a working team structure
My opinion
They can still qualify if NFF release a merit list & get everything done properly
Invite take the bull by the horn type of players & end that corruption list
We really need our best legs
I hear FIFA will still hammer South Africa for fielding an ineligible player even though Lesotho withdrew their complaints
Lesotho may be penalized too for corruption issues for doing that lol
Still a rumour though
Chelle doesn’t know most of our players & their abilities
I think NFF needs to regularly advise the coach on the best players for each position
Fielding Lookman in the wrong operating position
Not giving Onyemaechi game time
Aina is a better RB than LB
Chelle chose to always start & accommodate players he seemingly has a good relationship with .eg. Moses, Chukwueze.
Lookman should’ve been on the left, he needs space to operate
Obvious errors
NFF also need to carefully look at the referees in our games, the last one didn’t give us a clear penalty won
