Mbappe injury might be a blessing in disguise for Madrid.

pkasso:
My blood still dey boil from the nonsense wey Osimhen do last night. It's more annoying when you see people defending the nonsense just because he is your fave. That behaviour was downright disgusting and it's not the first time he's done it.

Eric Chelle needs to stamp his authority and put that clown in his place. Enough of this nonsense. There has to be consequences. Bench him in the QF. I don't care if we get knocked out. No player is bigger than the team. Play Akor as a 9, make Chuks come in. He's in great form atm which also helps.

Ronaldo chop bench for Portugal at the last World Cup when e misbehave and heaven no fall. A whole Cristiano. Who be Osimhen papa?

People keep saying we are useless without Osimhen. They forget we are actually playing as a team now. The structure is now there. Ndidi has Onyeka to help out in midfield. Iwobi is balling, Akor is cooking. And it's not like Osimhen has exactly set the tournament on fire.

Osimhen is not as indispensable as his fanboys think. We failed to qualify for the last World Cup and he was present. Last AFCON, he was toothless and couldn't do Jack.

Lookman should be protected at all cost. I would hate for anything to affect his confidence. Make Osimhen no try dey intimidate am. He is also an AFOTY like him. Shout out to him for downplaying the incident post-match. Very professional.

Please don't say this again. I care if we get knocked out. He should pay a fine and issue an apology. Benching him against Algeria is definitely not an option.

We go dey all right las las 🙃

When Palmer did that rubbish at the club world cup I also called him out here. That has nothing to do with passion.

Kimbeast:
Palmer had 2 chances to put Jackson through and Kdh once but he took a reckless shot. Seems lack of goals is now getting to him cause that reaction is quite shameful.

Osimhen needs to be punished. Fine, public apology whatever but he needs to be disciplined. The way he even acted towards Ndidi the captain was also embarrassing.

The big test is Algeria. Maza and Mahrez are the key players to look out for.

Unlimited22:
Three goals, FOUR assists in this tourney so far

Player of the tournament so far. Lookman always delivering for Nigeria at major tournaments. Shame we didn't qualify for the world cup.

Unlimited22:
Timbros LiLbros, shey PHEDC never restore light for your side?

What's the scoreline?

My guy timbros is inside the deepest part of the mud.

Leyqute:
The man coached tikitaka instead of parking the bus against us. Na the reward of his transgression be that. Let him enjoy it 😂

User09:
Bruh!!

Osimhen complains a lot. Wetin happen?

He has that lukaku gene.

Leyqute:
Make we no start dey play rubbish at 70 mins o.

The game is already over bro. We need to just control the game and bring in they chuwueze.

CAPdan21:
Algeria that Congo will beat...

That's what we all want.

Unlimited22:
Did you watch Mozambique vs Cameroon and Ivory Coast?
Tunisia didn't concede a single goal in world cup qualifying and we murdered them in a hour and only conceded after chelle made some silly subs

I will back us against anyone. The only issue we have is in our defence.

I agree we have been brilliant so far but Algeria will pose a different and stronger threat to Mozambique/Tunisia.

We haven't actually played a top team. Algeria would show the actual level of this team.

raumdeuter:
Once you settle your midfield
Play a balanced 433 team and not lopsided attack 424

You can watch with a relaxed mind

It's not a 433 in that manner. It's 4:3:1:2.

It's mad how Senegal have midfield Bench options that would start for the super eagles. They even benched Ndaiye for this game.

Mareaca must have gotten assurance for the city job for him to resign. The timing is too convenient.

Interesting

Ibime:
By the way Garnacho has now cost us 4 points this season by sleeping at the back post from a long throw

First against Brentford and again today

And Maresca will still give him back post marking detail next match

The team had 45mins to score and win that game. Dropped point has nothing to do with garnacho alone.

StarchAndBanga:
cc: Airmark

Is it true that Noni Madueke would be ending 2025 with zero assists in the Premier league this year?

Same player they said would get more assists at Arsenal lmao.

What happened to us pushing 3 players up the pitch when defending long throw?

Caicedobets:
Chelsea is one Pedro Neto ACL injury away from improving their attack

A player we must sell in May.

Gucciboy:
Cole Palmer has never had a good season under maresca. Check his performance and stats from pochetino season and see the truth.

Now most of these players are turning average and people still think it's the board faults that a coach can't do his job.

Okay let's keep fooling ourselves and for the records maresca has never demanded for a specific player like conte during his time.

If you know any player ,then mention his name let's know where the blame game really starts?

That was Palmer first season and he took the league by surprise. Everyone knows him now and he's getting man marked. He needs to grow up and adapt. The major difference between Palmer first season and 2nd under Maresca was the number of penalties he had. 9 compared to the 4 under Maresca.

Ibime:
James is a solution Maresca worked out himself to inject small stability to the midfield

Look what the board demand of him

AMs:
Gittens, Garnacho, Estevao, Neto, Palmer, Buonanote, João Pedro, Tyrique George

That's 8 players for 3 positions

Meanwhile for the CM 3 positions, they only have Caicedo who is reliable, he had to convert James himself to be able to field 3 CMs at times, although James can only play once per week

This is definitely a design of the board. I spoke on this repeatedly in the summer

You cant really blame the board. For the cm role it's 5 players for 2 position. Caicedo, Essugo, Enzo, lavia and Santos. Unfortunately Santos, Essugo and Lavia have been unavailable for most of the season.

airmark:
The only thing that can make me run is your grammatical bazooka.

Same bazooka Jackson used in destroying that big head of yours today. Drop more Twitter comments about Jackson or you suddenly can't find them.

raumdeuter:
Jackson double

airmark any twitter screenshot?

Someone that has ran away in shame.

Jackson with another. Twitter users must have gone on break.

rooftops:
Omo Senegal wan pai Botswana keeper

15 shots, 8 on target already. Senegal is definitely going to score more.

StarchAndBanga:

It's funny how we didn't see Twitter comments concerning Fofana on Saturday.

Can wike actually survive 2027?

Android17:
Google AI said Palmer has 2 non-penalty goals in the EPL in 2025. I haven't fact-checked it but others can confirm.

IMAGINE if that was Foden.

IMAGINE if this was Foden

Nemesis0147:
with Tuchel as their manager
He will definitely make the squad unless he go another injury.

Does Palmer have a special relationship with Tuchel? Morgan Rogers and Bellingham are already his first choices for that 10 role. There's Foden and also eze fighting as back ups. Palmer needs to get back to his best asap.
