ThunderFireAgba:
Guys do you think our 1st 11-lineup is good as our 2nd 11 with 3-4-3 formation?



Uzoho

Awaziem. Omeruo. Sanusi.


Osayi. Al hassan. Aribo. Bruno.


Chukwueze. Moffi. Musa.

Subs: Onuachu, Iheanacho, Onyedika.

Chei Iheanacho don suffer o

Where the Okoye sef? Wetin make he no come this AFCON?

Anybody wey no dey no dey, eze gawa eze onochie. The game is the game. If he wanted the #1 shirt so bad, he should have been available. In his absence, Nwabali stepped up and deserves.

Oma is busy talking about how the defense has covered for Nwabali. That is the same defence that was shambolic with Uzoho between the sticks. Nwabali's confidence has been instilled in the defenders, and he makes their jobs easy by clearing his line and distributing properly. Two things Uzoho cannot do.

Oma was talking about the defenders covering for Nwabali,oh he forgotten that during Afcon 2022,defenders worked tirelessly that Okoye only had a shot at goal and it was a goal.

ChrisKels:


Oma is fighting Nwabali for that number one spot. Uzoho isn’t in the picture anymore because everyone has lost confidence in him, then club wise, Okoye is ahead of them all. He is using Uzoho to downgrade Nwabali so that Nwabali would not consolidate on his position as the number one or first choice goalie. He wants that position open till Okoye returns to take it.

Oma doesn’t want Okoye to return as a second fiddle to anyone, but as the numero uno. In this situation, the threat is Nwabali, not Uzoho.

I watched all Okoye matches and kudos to him for working hard to become Udinese number one but he is not better than Nwabali.

I can stake it Okoye is not better than Christian Nwoke,Osayi Kingdom of NPFL though many wouldn't agreed with question,why NPFL keepers over serial A keeper but that's the fact talking about characteristics of solid keeper.

Big question,Oma Akatugba should tell us a super eagles match that Okoye looked so convincing.

comodo:

Na waa. So u no see say Nwabali hand big pass Uzoho leg. Get muscle pass.

😁

daveP:
So let's see what's next.

Osimhen is on 1goal 1Assist, right?
Ademola on 2goals 1assist.

3possible games for both to be on golden boot/MVP podium

VO will need 5G/A in 3 to do that
AL will need 5G/A to do same.

Step by step though.

Yes Dave baba you are right but boys don dey reason am say na team unity be koko.They don't care who score or win MVP again but winning the cup be koko....the spirit in the camp is high.

charlesemeka85:
Alexander the Great 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

Surprise...Time to respect Alexander Iwobi.

ChrisKels:
Nwabali use hand trow ball e pass center circle but Uzoho kicked ball for leg and none of them reach center circle not to talk of to pass am.

That's it....if I talk am now say Christian Nwoke is better than Uzoho and Maduka people go say wetin but that's the truth.

Marjoribanks:
Paserio please play Bassey at LWB and see Osimhen score a lot of goals from headers.

If you watch our friendlies in the United States, you would see we are wasting Bassey playing him as LCB.
I don't want to see that Sanusi again, abeg!

When Nigerians dey hammering on a player in a negative way,forget o.....Uzoho no good dem rights, on FB,twitter na Sanusi matter o but we are winning so expect him in the line up

minfelix:

some people are still saying even if he wins the afcon they should sack him….Nigerians are very proud and its so irritating…i sure die say no coach will come into super eagles and start playing turn Nigeria to overnight mancity or barca…this is africa we must lose, we must draw and lastly we will start getting our winning mojo back.
no coach has come to Nigeria and enjoyed a 100% record
siasia
westerhorf
jo bonfre
bora and so so and so all at a particular time in their managerial career with eagles fumbled and also coached well…Una no jus one lose games na em b the problem…people think Nigeria is the best footballing nation on earth that we should not reason defensive game as an option…just dey tiki taka and dey attack the win all games played…going unbeaten in 1000games
DEY PLAY

Peseiro was poor before Afcon and Nigerians will not be watching their team playing nonsense,so expect criticism from fans and good Peseiro listened by inviting Nwabali who gave us that stability from the back.

ChrisKels:
Bruno Onyemaechi joins Nantes of France.

Good deal,moving from Portuguese league to French liga is a good development and better for him to leave Boavista fc struggling to pay salaries.

Rafa Nadal in for Afcon

See respect from Flavor a Igbo,prostrate for King Sunny Ade but one overrated Yoruba girl Ayra dey shake old man.

komekn:


I agree wholeheartedly, excellent contribution to the SE , his position indisputable.

But imagine yourself sitting in front of the HO Recruitment for an EPL club, etc And they will say very good, but how many Goals did he score he is a number 9.

What will you say 😲

Because for every player in consideration there will be 5 others being compared to you.

In all honesty for VO it's not great , however, it becomes insignificant and academic when he get back to Napoli and starts banging in goals plentiful.

If he doesn't the football ⚽ world has a short memory.

Emile Heskey say hi...62 matches and 7 goals.

chrisooblog:
My brother as I see the way Francis kick those goalkicks I redoubled my prayers for Nwabali to be fit by Friday.

The strongest agbo and best bone setters should be sent asap by dhl to Abidjan.

Francis Uzoho has lost it,too much difference between him and Nwabili.....for real stability in goalkeeper department we need Christian Nwoke and Osayi Kingdom in eagles mix

chrisooblog:
The law good afternoon you make compelling arguments but I'm with egbon Kog45 on this Kanu matter.

Papilo in SE considering his status and standing in the game didn't do enough for me. In 2000 that was undoubtedly his best tournament for the SE who showed up when we were on the brink of getting knocked out by Senegal? Aghahowa and Oliseh to the rescue. I struggle to pick clutch moments Kanu outside of the Olympics had for the national team. Is my take controversial maybe but it's not without some facts to back it up.

Sincerely KANU has his moments,and one of those moments was against Cameroon,that assist to Utaka.Also he had remarkable moments with Victor Agali during 2002 WC qualifications but talking eagles generally,mentioning real warriors Kanu name is debatable.

comodo:

Someone here make I no mention name always say " The job of every attacker is to score goals that's why Napoli paid big money for him" Una sabi d person. Me I no go mention name before him go use grammar bulaba me this Sunday afternoon. Now na him dey sing like canary how osimhen pressing dey help d team. People no go stay one place so dem no go dey confuse thunder.

Yes the job of a striker is to score goals and so far in this tournament Osimhen has done extremely well cuz our goals had Osimhen imprints,right from EG to Cameroon.

He scored EG,was fouled for our penalty against CIV,forced GB to score own goal and wrestled to give that assist to Lookman.

Hope to see him scoring against Angola but his play so far,especially against Cameroon gave Lookman freedom to operate.

daveP:


Quite true. Simon has improved. Chuks saw shirt and didn't impress. Can't wait for

Tella
Daga
Nnadi
Tosin
Frederick
Akor
To join the team. Since he no wan show say he sabi drop AFCON standard performance.

Chuckwueze needs a coach to sit him down and say why wasting this special talent.Chuckwueze should be a player to do it.I just don't know what is wrong with him.

charlesemeka85:
bros Tnks. I am not among the best analyst here but when it comes to spotting raw talents I hv good eyes for that

From the very first day I saw bassey against arsenal playing for Rangers in a preseason game I knew that we hv a gem in our hands

Then he was still very raw but his talent was evident. All he needed was good nurturing and I must commend Steven Gerard for giving him the opportunity to build on his game


Bassey is a superb talent and to me the best LCB in Africa. He is just 24 and yet to develop to his full potentials. Ajax goofed big time allowing him leave prematurely


Also remember i also warned all who hv been bashing Onyeka. Onyeka is not your xavi or iniesta kinda of midfielder but a dependable one who can be instructed to man mark any dangerous opposing midfielder just render him useless and impotent


Another is onyedika, I pray soon he will hv enough chance in the team for you all to notice how good he is

Good to have all these guys,all na for super eagles glory.

charlesemeka85:
nawa to you bros 😳

I go start to dey see u as ikorodu version of komenk

No wahala baba.....I have two Kanu in mind......one King Kanu Nwankwo of Ajax,Inter Milan and Arsenal and Kanu Nwankwo of Super eagles,I rate former highly but later no o😀

Mujtahida:

Yeah charlesemeka85 is one of our respected contributors. Our FBs have channeled their in-born naija spirit and are playing with so much grit and power. Many people talk about Osimhen's pressing but Lookman dey press too ooo. As him body small, him Dey hustle from defence to attack

Osimhen brings a lot to the team,he is the key whether he score or not,just check out Lookman first goal.

Reintroduction of Ekong into the team and lNwabali invitation brought real synergy to the team.

WELCOME BACK TheSuperNerd

Mujtahida:

Amokachi was calling him Onyekuru. I weak. But I love Amokachi. His positive vibe is infectious.

Oga make we just dey manage Amo Taxi

Mujtahida:

Reminds me so much of Taribo West with the way he moves

Bassey really surprised me and I want to give shout out to charlesemeka for always believing in him.

akwesenana:
I thought his brother was a musician.

Yes a musician

Mujtahida:

He is good with long balls

Omeruo always showing that zeal in any tournament and I rate him highly

Mujtahida:

Haaa don't say this ooo. Kanu was good. The fact he didn't score Afcon goal does not diminish his impact. I remember then Kanu comes in and the dynamics of a game changes.

He's arguably the most intelligent attacker Nigeria has ever had. And to have battled that heart issue and play with such sleekness and power, Kanu had steel.

Sir,talking super eagles I don't rate him.

Papilo is a man I followed from Nationale,in fact against Ranchers Bees in 1992 FA cup match in Ilorin,I followed him with three of my friends to Circular hotel in Ilorin and had cool time with him,reason was his skill,came in from the bench and steal the show.

I respect him as a footballer and rated him as the best when we talk of our export to Europe and am waiting for Osimhen to beat that record.

mostob:
Elder Kog, we will try herbs and concoction.
Aboniki balm and hot water is another option too. He must play against Angola.

Last 10 minutes showed that Nwabali was not in goal despite no pressure from Cameroon

ChrisKels:
In years to come, people like Kog45 will go online to write that they are disappointed in Osimhen that he was only able to score a goal in the AfCon tournament. They will totally forget every effort he made because to them, as a striker, all your efforts are in vain if you don't score. It doesn't matter if you win.



The kinda disrespect that guy gives Kanu is quite funny. What Osimhen did today brutally was what Kanu did in 2004 and it was finished by Utaka.

Oga,Osimhen is ahead of Kanu in eagle history and still has more records to break......I don't rate Kanu in eagles,my opinion.

I'm a real Orthodox football analysis who always center his point on Super eagles rating not club rating.

Mujtahida:

Credit must go to Omeruo for picking out Bassey with his long range free kick. It was right at the spot where Bassey picked the ball, that he was fouled and got a free kick which eventually led to the goal.

Omeruo did the same thing during 2018 WC against Iceland.

Tinneh:

No major difference between uzoho and the enyimba goalie, both don't inspire confidence at all , I've watched ojo's game in caf clubcompetitions, he's also error prone...let's just hope nwabali is fit before friday

After Afcon we need Christian Nwoke and Osayi Kingdom in eagles set up

mostob:
That moment when Omeruo offered to take the goal kick instead but Uzoho told him not to worry. Baba took the goal kick and na for throw-in Dem go pick ball. Father Lord...

I just hope Nwabali injury is not severe
