Chuks case dey pain me wella

Chuckwueze has it but basic things is failing him,anytime I watched Saka I asked myself is he better than Chuckwueze? but guess what,Saka understands the basic things about football,time to pass,to run,to dribble,to cover spaces and right time to shoot….if Chuckwueze can adjust his game,he would be our talisman,imagine doing it like Lookman and Osimhen upfront

charlesemeka85:
I stand with you in your last paragraph. I love ekong as a person but never rated him as a player, even my love for him made me ignore some of his mistakes since debuting for the national team but it’s a thing of joy to see how far he has grown and matured as a player

Our current defensive set up is porous without Ekong’s presence. He is now that colossal figure that is needed in every team’s defense line. Seeing him in our defense of late brings some level of confidence that I can’t even explain. The older he grows the better he gets

I think it will be ideal for the national team handlers to start grooming a young CB to take over from him and the sooner the better. His wealth of experience and exposure will be a great learning tool to any young CB he takes under his wings.

It’s high time the national team handlers look beyond Awaziem and co and try out younger defensive talents like Ogbu,Okoli,Fredricks,Vince etc as under study to legendary Ekong

Yes legendary,winning Afcon best player no be small thing o,hope to see him breaking Keshi’s record……oh another CB who would have done better is Leon Balogun but he came late to the party ,age not on his side

Odunayaw:
Chukwueze had a good game too. If that boy adds that predator instinct of Lookman, it is game over for Africa

Chuckwueze played very well yesterday but I just don’t know why some are criticizing him

Mujtahida:

I think his point is more to the effect that we should avoid the kind of comparison that can drive a wedge between the players.

I think we can agree that Osimhen gives or provides Lookman with space to operate.

Inevitably fans will compare one player to another. We can't help it. It is for the players to have a big heart and keep the achievement task as more important than pursuing personal glory

Your last paragraph summed it all….I love the team spirit yesterday and there is need for Eguavoen to sit Osimhen and Lookman down to avoid Yekini/Siasia scenario against Ivory Coast

Meliforme:
I have never seen Ademola Lookman play in the manner he did yesterday.
Offensively and defensively he was everywhere.

Oga Meli,you don’t rate Lookman and it’s normal in football just say you got it wrong than telling us that you never seen him played like he did against Benin.

He did it against tougher opponents Cameroon,Angola or you forgot his cross to Osimhen against EG.He worked offensively and defensively in Afcon….Lookman is a player to be rated after Osimhen in eagles.

I don’t rate Ekong but I ate my words.Ekong is my number one in eagles defence,even in my top three rated eagles players list…Osimhen,Lookman and Ekong.Another player that is catching my attention is Onyedika,his foots on the ball is a class.

BankyGee:
Some people are now saying Lookman is better than Osimhen and vice versa. This is my take on the issue. Nigerians will always cause divisions between players.

Nigeria has only lost 3 games Victor Osimhen played in since he became our top 9, and he's played like 30 already... The last 7 games without Osimhen has 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses. We have won only one match after the AFCON, and, don't get me wrong, Ademola Lookman is a stellar player and one of the best wingers in the world, but Osimhen's impact and mentality takes that team's morale to the ceiling!

Nigeria had a goal lead courtesy of an Ademola Lookman's brilliance, but Benin were already growing in confidence and pressing Nigeria so much and even had two decent shots on target. Osimhen came in, scored within six minutes, drove the defence to stay in their place and created more space for attacking operations due to the two man marking on him...

Impact no pass this one! If they like it or not Osimhen is the most impactful player in the Super Eagles team!
Lookman is the best player in his position and his combo with Osimhen gives you a deadly duo.

I just hope these players don't read the rubbishhhhh spewed online by Nigerians. They're the best in their respective positions and they are two African Bests in one team, haba!

Sir,your comment here is all about Osimhen a better player than Lookman.Till date,Osimhen has the followers and well love by many,so if few are saying Lookman is the new face,let’s us respect their opinions and good for eagles having another player that world is acknowledging and hope to see the likes of Onyedika,Bashiru emerging as world class.

Osimhen sending strong signal to Turkey

Subzerooo:


How about the matches he played for Nigeria since then, how has he been this season, he is a decent striker but I'm picking Boniface over him anyday

Traditional number 9,Awo over Boni but two men upfront then Boni over Awo

TheSuperNerd:
Ndah in for Bassey.

Fisayo in for Iwobi.

Simon in for Chukwueze.

Olisa too good for South Africa league

Subzerooo:


He is not that good, Germany was like 2 years ago

My boy is good o oga subzero….Abi you no follow him for EPL…he singlehandedly saved Forest from relegation 22/23 season but injury dealt with him seriously last season

humility33:


Missing those chances

Lookman individual brilliance got us this goal Brother

Oga humility calm down nau,you dey take this match too serious 🧐

Meliforme:
The same Rohr we criticised sorely for parading a lean midfield has now eight midfielders in his squad.
Something is very wrong, and it is clear that the whole blame is not with him.
The lean midfield affected his style of play.

Let us not underestimate Benin.
They may have one or two Kelechi Nwakali that is better than the midfielders we parade.

They may also have Ejuke…..Oga Meli the eyes wey I dey look you ehen.

jihday:
Taiwo handing over his youth team to his first coach to manage is a very wonderful gesture

He did well for his coach.The man started youth team with nothing by gathering boys in a secondary school pitch and survived with boys contributing money for ball and jerseys,real street footballing

charlesemeka85:


if Egu can dump US 94 tactics to embrace modern football ideas he will do well with the team 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The problem with our coaches especially those from the 94 set is that they hv failed woefully in adapting to the change and rigors of modern football tactics

Oga Charles you still dey on eagles matter abi,better dey watch them with popcorn 🌽 cuz I don tire

charlesemeka85:
yes boss, Awo don discover one for us 😊

Yes o and shoutout to Simon Moses also for given us Benjamin Frederick

charlesemeka85:
From the streets of Kwara to the most successful club in Greek football history.

18yrs old Nigerian prodigy, Taiye Abdulateef has joined Greek giants, @olympiacosfc from @unicornfclub Football Academy, Ilorin, on a 4-year contract.

#OJBSPORTS

A product of Taiwo Awoniyi Unicorn academy managed by coach olojo who discovered Awoniyi…good luck Lateef

AfonjaMozlems:


PSG didn't even waste time on him
It was just a rumour. No bid submitted.
It may even be his agent behind it which could be why Atalanta have not played him this season.


Now, does that sound like a hot player to you?

Haha,registered on sept,4 just for tribal purposes,pls this is sport not politics where tribalism reign…..waka go join your Yoruba and Igbo tribal championing brothers in political sections and leave sports alone.

Well to me,Osimhen still face of Nigeria football

opes:


Still better than Saudi which Osimhen would have ended..Chelsea offer was ridiculous; Napoli rejected him back into the team. Osimhen in Turkey playing Europa league still better than Osimhen training with Napoli U21. Not a permanent move, by January, he may end the loan or sign pre-contract with other club.
The Galatasaray loan deal gave him the opportunity to lower his release clause.

My point,nobody should use Osimhen Turkey moved to rate the league unnecessarily to the point of applauding other Nigeria players who have not made names for themselves of potential moves to Turkish league like news of Gift Orban being courting by Turkish club

Amotolongbo:
Actually, the Europa final gave Ademola Lookman the recognition. Had Leverkusen won the final (and Boniface registered a goal), Victor Boniface would be nominated instead of Ademola Lookman

It is Lookman on the list not Boniface,so let’s talk about Lookman now,last year it was Osimhen,so hopefully to see more Nigeria players getting recognition.

Apart from Europa,Lookman did well in seria A with goals and assists as a man behind CF.

Oh you forgot he was our highest goal scorer in the last Afcon and one of the best performers along side Ekong in Afcon.

Bannedlargejr:
Going from playing at Napoli and linked to Chelsea, psg while concluding at turkey kebab league in your PRIME is DIABOLICAL as a WORLD CLASS PLAYER and anyone with access to osimehn needs to inform him about offending the wrong person by conducting a retrospective in order to be aware of any previous error and rectify it. He needs to apologize to finidi or whoever he offended this year. Once he does that, his career trajectory might become upward. He shouldn’t listen to any “Yes men Enablers” or Moral victory speeches. I believe that, if he learns from his mistakes and apologize to the adequate party, he has the potential to reclaim his mantle. A word is enough from the wise and pride goes before downfall

He need good management to handle his affairs both on and off the pitch.Good that he sacked his agent but need to do mores regarding his temperament on issues that average players don’t even care about.

Philosopher1979:


If he was not doing well at lyon then Turkey will be good for him. However, he just scored 2 goals in his last match and he is been integrated into the squad. He should try and establish himself in lyon. By January he should be one of their best players

Thank you,Osimhen moving to Turkey in a very challenging way should not give us the belief that Turkish league is cool for any of our players…..Gift Orban development should continue with Lyon

Bannedlargejr:


Which demotion? Mourinho is at turkey league and it’s a world class league

Turkey league world class?poor management took Osimhen to Turkey and not good for his pedigrees….Old days Mourinho would not have accepted Turkey club offer.

Joebie:
People will come and tell u Osimhen does not deserve an invite because he plays in Turkey.

Yes nau,Abi you don forget how dem dey criticize Omeruo,Onyekuru,Onuachu for playing in Turkish league

Bliss4Lyfe:
Amaka Sunnberger na her stage name, let them release her real name to the public.

Then she should tell us the real name of the men she was together working with releasing hate speech online.

It was not only her.


They need to bring everybody to establish a case.

Her passport page should do that

IMPARTIAL:
You don't understand. What she did was political. Some politicians don't want LP to win the coming elections in Edo since the party is very strong there. So, this woman was contracted to make those threats so that the Binis would hate the Ibos and not vote for LP. It is the general belief that the LP is an Ibo party.

Haha see reasons for God sake….Kai no no why are we like this in this country…..you must be one of those that believed in cloned Buhari.

Smithkafors:
I condemn it In totally. This should also be extended to some Tribalist on this forum insulting PO should get ready for prison term if they are not careful.

Hope you are not tribal cuz I expected you to mention Atiku and Tinubu alongside Obi cuz Yoruba and Igbo online rats insults these three personalities at any given opportunity and left major issue

Klington:


Those vile comments are from BATeria and his apcshit supporters. Those people are the most insensitive animalistic cold hearted terrorists you will see on the surface of the earth.

Tinubu don enter Osimhen matter again….Oga just go to Ojota Osimhen strong area for Lagos and talk it openly….everything na to bring useless tribal Abi na politics I go talk

Na to just dey derail good topics based on last election results nothing more,na only God go save Yoruba and Igbo online tribal warriors

ChrisKels:


Anybody still in doubt?

WC?Oga Chriskel zero your mind….making it would be new seven wonders of the world

Kai Hijab wey some Muslim girls no dey remove during sexual intimacy na on top of it some dey protests

lbrichman2:


Finidi go collect him cut sharp sharp.
Mission accomplished

Just like the way Rohr collected his cut on Maduka

Napoleon55:

Obviously u didn't read my post well nor understood my point,
your post should be directed to Komekn.

Komekn tried to undermind Osimhen's AFCON performance because he scored just one goal,then i posed the Kanu's riddle to him,

Try to slowly read my post u quoted again,and u will grasp my point,or go back and read the previous post.

I got your point but guessing what,Kanu is a favorite that people do lowering the measurement rating regarding his Super eagles performance.

Fact,it was damn too poor,having five Afcon and three WC without a goal,even in Super eagles assists ratings,Amokachie,Finidi,Siasia and Odegbami are ahead…..but till date,talking best Nigeria export in Europe,Kanu is the best cuz his goal scoring ratio and assists are far better compared to his Super eagle’s performance.

It was just too painful we did not see enough of Agali/Kanu partnership cuz Agali brought the best in Kanu vice versa,2002 WC qualifiers both had 4 goals,it was best of Kanu in eagles.

marvin906:



You forgot lukaku was courting suadi..
But no official bid came for him

I thought he rejected Saudi offer
