BankyGee:
Eric Chelle can play RW na 😏

Repeating same thing and expecting different results. Continue

Samueltemi337:
If chukwueze play LW who will play RW?

Ejuke can play there

Samuel Chukwueze is playing LW for Fulham as oppose to RW and has 4 Assists so far.

I hope Chelle take advantage of this opportunity based on form and play his men at their respective positions at club levels.

I want Moses, Iwobi and Ndidi to the bench. And Onyedika, Akinsanmiro, Bashiru in our midfield.

No more sexy sideways passes and own goals please.

Osi most creative midfielders.

Nothing he offers than sideways passes. Cant mark, can't take on ... What do I even know sef...

Ndidi, Moses .....next

Safe to say Captain Ndidi and Captain Ekong are why Nigeria failed to qualify for world cup. End

Maybe he is just the one for the LW, just maybe.

He just proved that crosses from left-footed players are better.

BankyGee:
But this is the LW nah. I was surprised he flourished there yesterday. A menace on that wing.

My bad

BankyGee:

All d midfield


Iwobi shld be played where he’s been played at his club , like I use to say any coach still relying on iwo I for his creativity hub is a lazy coach

Please sire, I beg you, don’t make excuses for Alex Iwobi. To do what exactly in the position he plays for Fulham?
If he can’t adapt to other roles, then honestly, I wish I were Eric Chelle.
Is Benjamin a dog, or is Chukwueze a monkey, that they can adapt to new positions but he can’t?

Zero marking.
Zero shooting.
Zero take-ons or 1v1s.
Zero aerial presence.
Zero ball protection.

Only those “sexy” penetrating passes… to where? To whom exactly?

If not for Osimhen constantly showing up, we would have kissed qualification goodbye long ago.

I hope Onyedika slots in peacefully and give us better penetration pass, shoots and ball protection in our midfield.

1. Wilfried Ndidi
2. Alex Iwobi
3. Moses Simon

Will Eric Chelle do a quick replacement for these players before AFCON?
These are the current Super Eagles problem but many don't see it.

I don't know their names but the 5 sets players that held Nff to bonuses and allowances payments should bid themselves farewell from AFCON squad even Eric Chelle won't be able to sneak anyone in.

The moment I saw him post that hotel video, I just said to myself, “This guy isn’t serious… At this moment? Content for what?”

Then he goes on with zero assists, zero marking or tackles, zero 1v1s or take-ons — yet he’s somehow the “most creative.”
“Eric Chelle should use him in his Fulham position”… too many delusions 😅

Honestly, there’s nothing Iwobi does on the pitch that Raphael Onyedika can’t do twice as well.
I’m open to an Iwobi vs Onyedika comparison, please.

Carry team for head he can't, attack attack.... Oya na dribble ... they will say they want sexy penetration pass.... I wish that 20 years old boy was CM or AM midfielder.

But bomb dy Chelle head for not using Onyedika.

If Chelle can't grow balls to replace Iwobi, Ndidi, Lookman and Moses then he is not serious yet.

Safe to say this current squad has only AFCON to play. By next world cup, 30 years is the least age amongst them including bassey!

Iwobi made Ndidi seem like prime Pirlo. It's time. Thank you Iwobi

I dare say Osimhen wasn't injured.
I dare say Tolu suffered similar treatment.
I dare say Eric Chelle was provoked maybe.

Truth will come out soon

Dissolve the team leave Bassey, Fredrick, Onyedika and Osimhen against AFCON.

TheSuperNerd:
Iwobi's best role is not even as an AM. At Fulham, he delivers best as a wingfielder or false winger but positionally looks like he plays LW or RW. We have said this over and over and made calls for it so that another talent takes up the CAM role fully.

So your defence for Chelle is not cogent especially as Chukwueze started as the AM today. Not Iwobi.

An out of sorts Iwobi was shifted into the role later on with a midfield dynamics of zero. So Chelle never truly played Iwobi in his best role nor with the best personnel.

Superman sorry SuperNerd i enjoy your writeups alot but you see this one abeg leave Iwobi and the fans alone... Regardless of his f*cking position or roles, abah! That guy sees himself as one small boy in that team. Iwobi should be taking charge, carrying the team for head like Gala but no it must be Osimhen.

Win us games, No
Oya mark , No
Oya come collect ball, No
Shoot Noo, take on, Noo
Only to pass... Finish

He yanked off our "Aje butter fine boy striker",the same way he relegated our captain Ekong to permanent bench. If he remains as Super Eagles coach, I'm sure you will not see Tolu in that team except by miracle.

NFF, Peseiro, Finidi and Pep Gardiola landed us in the mess.

God bless Eric Chelle. He should have stick to his 4-4-2 .

When is Trump coming to save Nigeria. Lets face important matter at hand. The boys can return to their clubs pending till afcon.

1. The best team won
2. Lookman should go and sort himself at Atalanta.
3. Osimhen aside we have no striker yet.
4. Moses should excuse this team
5. Iwobi is played in 433, he cannot mark, not creative.. he's been with the team for many years and yet he cannot carry the team for head like Gala. It must be Osimhen his junior brother
6. Ekong can resign peacefully
7. Eric Chelle didn't err for removing Tolu. He didn't impress maybe.
8. God bless Fredrick

I'm expecting Ndidi and Iwobi to go off

I'm expecting a bold decision to remove Iwobi and Ndidi

Iwobi needs to go off

Guys watch the game closely.... Chelle is playing Chukwueze as our 10 and Lookman and Osimhen in men attack.

QueenJazz:
Lol. If I recall correctly, Gabon has the best attack out of all the opponents we've faced in this playoffs. If these guys are thinking of playing attacking football, we might have another repeat of the Nigeria vs Benin game in Uyo. Give us this day O Lord. 😂

Amen

Congo is not better than Russia and Jamaica

mekabuachi:
I like that he didn't play defensively... I fear if we meet Argentina or spain today, e go still play him 442😂😂

Then you don't know Chelle. His philosophy is that, he hates being bullied or possessed...
