Sarsaparilla524:
There was an imbalance in defense yesterday. Eric Chelle had no business altering the right combination of Fredrick and Bassey. Ajayi clearance was like adding fuel to fire. I pitied the young lad at right back yesterday, he was constantly under threat and pressure.
He would have played Awaziem at right back as he is good defensely and also good on the ball. He is also good at delivering the right crosses.

RB- Awaziem
LB- Sanusi
CB- Bassey
CB- Fredricks

Awaziem would have been exposed badly yesterday, Chelle got it right with his four man defence,the pressure damn too much cuz Iwobi and Ndidi were off

Arizoner:
you people have come with all these westernised players that have no passion and fighting spirit to play for fatherland like lookman and iwobi

Lookman played very well for his fatherland and reason why he won APOTY,yes he is not in form...go and watch last Afcon and tell me Lookman lacking passion....I will pick Calvin Bassey over Osimhen talking about players ratings during Afcon and WC qualifiers abi Bassey na local.

VERY OVERRATED BUNCH OF PLAYERS WITH NO ZEAL FOR LAUREL.....THE WORST SUPER EAGLES EVER.... CONGRATULATIONS DR CONGO

junnyjake:
Ejuke speaks Hausa fluently as well.

Yes Ejuke,even Benjamin Frederick speaks Hausa fluently....Dem be Kaduna boys with their Godfather Simon Moses

mrwilliams9:
That's the nature of international football to be honest.

You can play over 350+ games during your professional playing career but only 15-20 games for your NT.

I think KC is the only one we should move on from. If the likes of Boniface, Sadiq and Awo reignite their professional careers and find form why shouldn't they get called up? They don't have to start but it's good to have options. Players come in and out of the NT all the time.

Sincerely I don't think Tolu is better than Sadiq and Awoniyi but Sadiq and Awoniyi getting into this team go hard o

Kai so Awaziem Chidozie na Hausa boy...the boy dey blow Hausa language o....just like the way Osimhen dey speak Yoruba

EEGA:
Excellent tactics.


Pls Osayi should not start our next match.

Imagine if the referee had given the Panthers, a PK as a result of that shove by Osayi.

The deflection that led to the equaliser,was also from him.

His defending leaves a lot to be desired.

Aina is not available so Osayi is starting

BankyGee:
I swear, and he's good o, but omo he doesn't inspire confidence to me like Zaidu or Benjamin.

That Gabon goal, it was his clearance back to the Gabonese that gave them that second shot + his deflection.

If Nwabali seff dey active, he for save that thing, even with the deflection.

It's very rear for a keeper to save deflecting shot but am seeing Nwabali losing his position to Okoye

ayusco85:
Paid APC e-raatttss spotted. Keep defending rubbish. So what NFF is doing is right in your eyes?

Oga keep quiet if you don't know that NFF is an independent body that controls Nigeria football and everything relating to football stop at their desks,must everything be politics,from time immemorial we've been having this issues related unpaid allowances.

Peter Obi didn't got the clear picture of the whole thing before commenting or does he think Nigeria government is responsible for all these unpaid allowances...the same government he was castigating gave $100k each to Falcons and the Tigeress

AqualinaXYZ:
When wahala burst between Wike and Tinubu I swear Rivers state people will be so happy



See for non Rivers people always know that wike loyalty doesn’t last



Even Tinubu knows wike is a time bomb that can blow at any moment



The Bromance between wike and Tinubu won’t last you can bookmark this chat



Wike is a serial betrayer and time will tell so make una relax

Stop capping my man

Starboytwo:
I’m predicting a modest 3-0 in favor of the mighty Super Eagle…

Osihmen (2 goals)
lukman (1 goal) make he get small joy abeg.. he no easy for atalanta.

Aubameyang wey be 39 years old, how he wan take score 🤷🏾🤷🏾

Pls our defenders should not joke with Auba o

See Delta future governor 😲😞

BankyGee:
Paul Onuachu GOAL!
🇳🇬🦅🔥

He can't stop scoring! 🔥

For the first time I rate Onuachu,that goal was classic but it seems na only Osimhen guys dey watch for Turkey o

BankyGee:
Sharp lineup, but Semi Ajayi for Awaziem 🙏🏾

Since Ajayi won't be available due to suspension and Ekong form is issue,then Frederick should go back to his CB role to pair Bassey...in the absence of Aina,Osayi the deputy should start.... Awaziem is my favorite talking ball playing defender but defensively I don't trust him

CapitalCee:
Eric Chelle must use this lineup agaisnt Gabon for Solidity. When Ajayi returns he replaces Awaziem.

Second half bring in Moses Simon and Frank Onyeka to shore up the team. And may be Akor for Lookman in the dying minutes

Lookman on the bench for Moses,while Frederick pair Bassey and Osayi start,I don't see Awaziem starting

Omihanifa:
Fresh 800 people just joined the labour market.

Oh a friend just informed me he was affected.. it's well o

MONEY247:
A blatant lie. Girls adore fair guys, many do not just admit it.
I know many fair guys girls run after like flies even without the guy showing interest. That's why many guys bleach their skin.

Girls can pretend like crazy...

Oga forget fair guys,John Fashanu and Richard Mofe Damijo are above 60 and I can tell you ladies will run after them before you fair guys

Stupid girl you never see anything,imagine sold your beautiful body to a very ugly corrupt politician and grandfather for that matter....watching Toke Makinwa baby naming ceremony,come see depressive ladies forming happiness,fake smiles and telling young ladies out there you can do it without a man...I pity young girls who see them as role models...Tiwa Savage needed to snatch TBilz from his wife, divorced him and later had sex video that is open for everybody to see,Funke Akindele first marriage was a bet amongst Lagos NURTW touts and funny a whole Funke Akindele married a tout,funny as 4th wife, divorced him and married Jskill,who already had four grown up children and divorced him again,now a single mother,Iyabo Ojo messed around and fornicating presently with Paul Okoye,Mercy Aigbe is enjoying another man's husband after messy divorced from Gentry,Toyin Aihmaku Abraham dated a thief and fraudster,later got married to Adeniyi Johnson but divorced and at the end again settled for after one man a fellow actor,Tonto Dikeh divorced twice .. countless to mention..yeye celebrities with no class

23 man list by Owngoal

All we need are players to do the Job,going to WC is important and i can't imagine Osimhen and others missing out for the second time

David Moses is good,watching his clips

Mujtahida:
Haaaa even you? Labeling football conversation as agenda? No naa. This is a new trend on this thread and for the sake of fruitful conversation, we must stop labeling every criticism as agenda driven.

I started this conversation but I didn't not critique Lookman on his playing abilities. Like kennysville opined, it's a criticism on decision making. Others have pivoted and are drawing comparisons between Lookman and Akor. That's fine too because it's a matter of opinion which we can either agree or disagree with. Surely you do not want us to have singular train of opinion.

Nigeria qualifications to WC in tight situation not cuz of any player but NFF,my point is simple,do not blame any player for our situation but the system,yes a I said agenda cuz how could someone said Lookman don't deserve to be in eagles starting XI...yes different opinions but some opinions doesn't suit football analysis, imagine singled out a player as if he is the major problem of the team....oya tell me how Lookman fared during Afcon qualifications,if not for unavailability of VAR he scored two good goals but the same player is nonsense and funny his protracted transfer was not put into consideration.....mind you I will start XI that played Benin against Gabon and Lookman on the bench,starting Akor.

LagosOrigin:
Are you not even ashamed that trump assigned an ordinary vice president to talk with your president?

Which insult pass that one ?

There is no honor in this, it's an insult and tinubu accepted it.

I thought the man no fit enter United States according to you,he is entering but now he is meeting vice president,relax soon he will meet Trump but the major issue here is killing of Christians and how it must be stopped by all means but here you are catching cruises

joelsteron:
Lookman wouldn't have scored that goal Adam scored from Osimhen pass. Too predictable. Take this to bank

Na lie Joel,goal wey him dey score anyhow..Akor goal was even open a bit.

kennysville:
For the last time.... this is not about form!!!! it really is about decision making. No one wants Lookman removed. He should do more by playing for the team and not for himself. We (or lemme speak for myself) aren't even comparing him with other players. All we are saying is for him to be less selfish. The team should learn to play for one another. If you see a team mate with a better position to score, release the ball. That singular decision could be the only reason the team progresses. But if at all times, you also want to prove a point that you can also score, that's when you make weird decisions (which Lookman does a lot!!!). If na so Messi, Suarez and Neymar take do, we wont be talking about the efficiency of MSN.

Sir Kenny,no o this is getting serious,pls what is Lookman offence,you guys are just criticizing the guy anyhow,wetin happen bro,pls bring out Lookman selfish play in eagles,this is becoming agendas...common this is current APOTY,imagine someone saying Akor is better now,yes good to start with last XI against Gabon but the disrespect is too much bro.



I challenge you to bring out Lookman selfish play with eagles,where Osimhen or any other players are free with advantages ito score with ease and Lookman refused to pass

Samueltemi337:
The same Simon you are calling useless has assisted so many goals for Osimhen with the same useless crosses

USELESS caught my attention,I just don't know cuz these are guys giving Osimhen assists...Simon gave us needed assist against Benin

Flying eagle coach Aliyu Zubair and his assistant Lukman Ijaya signed two years deal with Egyptian division two side Telecom fc.

chrisooblog:
For me personally I've not been overly critical of Lookman because of the transfer issue that said we can't wait for him to get his mojo back at the expense of the SE success.

He will come good I'm sure but how long that will take I can't say so for now pending when he gets back to form the coach shouldn't allow paper reputations or bias to cloud his judgment on the best group of players to deliver this qualification ticket.

Let me tell you Koko,we have Chuckwueze,Simon and Lookman to pick from,I just hope anyone selected should do the needful

chrisooblog:
Added to why Napoli was having strained relationships with him. They probably thought he would skip AFCON to be fully fit for them and by the time he got back from CIV he was almost completely drained physically and mentally.

Do we say same things applied to Lookman cuz am seeing some folks criticizing him, forgetting this is a player that went through transfer brouhaha

joelsteron:
While Uncle moses doesn't get his crosses right, mr lookman cr7 is selfish.

....they are not Finidi George,better for us to accept it,after Finidi can you tell me any good crosser for eagles...even Amuneke was not comfortable with crossing,some of Yekini goals came from Oliseh and Finidi....I just hope Chuckwueze raises his games during playoffs

Mujtahida:
We don't talk enough about Osimhen's aerial ball control. He's really good at controlling the aerial balls with his head and especially his chest.

We are not milking this beast of an attacker that we have. We should be floating in crosses to this guy mehn.

Haba the Law with 29 goals in 43 caps

Emmy450:
we always try to oh, just that most of the crosses are useless (too intense or too short), usual culprit is uncle Moses Simon.

If these players are useless as you guys have been describing them do you think Osimhen would've been on 29 goals with 43 caps....even Osimhen will not agreeing with the way we are bashing his team mates,get it NFF put us in this tight situation, sincerely I will not blame the players if we eventually failed to qualify,but I hope eagles makes it

Emmy450:
I believe he has it, but has not explored that aspect of his game.
He scored a few goals with intense shot that banged the net in Napoli, although he took those shots in the box, it would be nice seeing him score from outside the box with powerful shots.

Osimhen cannot have everything.He did not built his game on shots and reason why he is flourishing .... Osimhen is a type of striker that uses pressing to finish any defenders and always working hard on the field of play,fact his pressing game is crazy
