BankyGee:
I swear.
I remember two balls to De Ketelaere and the last one to Retegui among others.

That Retegui miss, na to wipe am oraimo cord for neck
That was painful mehn!

Samueltemi337:
Nice one
He was obviously the best player on the field
I just hope they don't end up in playoffs position

I don't even know if he should leave Atalanta or stay..
They seem to be morphing into a big club

BankyGee:
Ademola Lookman! 🔥

0.90 expected assists! Insane 😱

Mola is world-class!!

TheSuperNerd:
While Adefire Lookman was balling awesome against the Biggest Clubside on the planet and the reigning European Champs, another Super Eagle, Raphael Onyedika was dropping yet another CDM Masterclass vs Portuguese Champs, Sporting CP helping Club Brugge to a 2-1 win.

90mins+ played
7 ground duels won (most in the game)
53 accurate passes (90% passing accuracy)
100% accurate long balls
100% successful dribbles
11 final third pass entries
8 recoveries
3 tackles
1 clearance
Was fouled 3x
Committed 2 fouls

Omo!
See stats!
Dude is a killer!

BankyGee:
Make I bring Doku stats? 😏

Abeg bring, I wan check sumtin

chrisooblog:
I really wish Osimhen was part of Conte's plans would have cooked under him this season but it is what it is.

His recruitment this season has been shrewd and on point. Still think Inter have the superior squad to win the Scudetto but no doubt Atalanta and Napoli will run them close.

I agree with you
Would have loved to see VO work with Conte..
But then..

yinkeys:
Even though they’ve got free days & aren’t playing in Europe
Atalanta will pump them home & away
Atalanta team has the better quality of players.
Ederson, Kossonou, De Ketelaere etc
People don’t know Ederson is a baller
Inter is the real challenge for Atalanta this season, we’d see how they handle it in the second fixture

I understand you ..
The only reason Napoli are in the title race.. one word only ..Conte
That man is an enigma when it comes to the Serie A
Writing him and Napoli off would be dangerous

Kog45:
I hate doing this regarding age especially when it involved Nigeria born and our foreign born,so don't let us go into age factor....Akure born vs Dutch born age matter,hope you get it.

I think you are over hyping Boniface telling us Dessers need to post super human numbers to get a look in abi no be the same Super eagles

That's just the reality Chief
Boni performing in the bundesliga & UCL gives him a lot of rope
And if he wins another trophy this season, e don finish be that. We are stuck with him
Boni will come through though..

The difference between boni and other SE strikers not named Osimhen is, Boni is a league champion and plays for a top team
That quality will prevail soon

GMBOFASIA:
I don’t see boniface being dropped anytime soon He is enjoying immunity playing in the bundesliga and delivering for b04 and also doing well in champions league too I feel that the reason why people are being patient with him that goals will come if he were to be playing in Scottish league or any retirement league people would have come for his head so far boniface is playing in top league and he is doing very well he will always be invited and he will be given benefit of doubt to replicate that form in the national team

Agreed

jihday:
‘who are not better than what we have locally‘ but when they give una Finidi na swear una use chase am comot

I agree Finidi was not treated fairly, but na him cause am

oloriooko:
i stand to be corrected but this reoccuring move of hiring foreign coach has a hidden agenda and i think some big wigs in the NFF must be benefiting from it inspite of being unreasonable and illogical
why not give AE all the resources and watch his performance

I agree with you, especially with our tricky situation in the qualifiers..
What happens if the new coach fails to qualify us.. which is highly likely by the way..
Will they sack him again?

There's definitely more to this foreign coach policy than meets the eye..

No grade A coach will take our job now..
It will dent their CV
We can only attract only journeymen and hungry grade C or D coaches, who are not better than what we have locally

I think we should just allow AE take charge of the qualifiers, whatever happens..
The deed has been done already

Kog45:
Thank you...Mujtahida and kog just dey look some monikers here...imagine waiting for Boniface goal and condemning other strikers...wetin dey vex me Boni man no see am as anything..."imagine Osimhen played straight 5 matches with zero goal,this place go scatter.

Not a fan of Dessers but he is next to Osimhen go by his current form.

Boni has age on his side and plays at a higher level than Dessers..
That's why Dessers is often not remembered
Age and where he plays
Dessers will have to post super human numbers to get a look in over Boni

Kog45:
Oga forget o ...well Libya cancelled match gave Boniface lifeline.let him continuing enjoying his immunity of Leverkusen performances,soon he would be remember as another Akpoborie if he failed to come to the party

Boss, no way that will happen
Only injury can keep him out of SE, as long as he keeps performing for B04

lovewins:
Lookman will be stupid to do that. He has all the leverage right now so signing a new contract will just be stupid at this point. He has just one year in his contract so it's easier to choose his next destination plus Atalanta is condemned to make a deal next summer or they lose him for free. The only way he signs a new contract with wage increase (which he'll only likely enjoy for 6 months so no point really) is if it has a buyout clause of less than €50M attached.

I completely agree

TheSuperNerd:
Atalanta Presido on Lookman ahead of the January Window....

That first statement by the president.. huge bargaining chip
They will offer him a new deal, possibly double or triple his wages and tie him down
I don't see Lookman leaving for less than $50M

yinkeys:
Atalanta FC are following Arsenal FC’s footsteps
They take set pieces seriously
They should keep winning
Maybe not lose to Real Madrid
Serie A battle could be between Atalanta & Inter

Is Napoli a joke to you?

Odunayaw:
Make Atalanta win league make we push for back to back Apoty

E de sweet me

You Sabi book

Mujtahida:
If Boniface is invited for the next match and he doesn't score, he should not be invited again. No be him papa get Super Eagles

Not happening Chief
Boniface will always be invited whether he scored in the next game or not..
At worst, he go dey come from bench
There's no way our handlers will overlook VB balling in the bundesliga & UCL
Not happening..

Here we go again
We learnt nothing this year..
JPes was allowed to leave after our AFCON sojourn after he finally found a working formula..
Now we are dumping AE as well..
Well, our thirst for quick fixes is insatiable..
At this stage na to comot mind for world cup, except by a miracle
Make we just plan for AFCON

ChrisKels:
Fun fact. We have only failed to qualify for the world cup twice since our debut in 1994.

We did not qualify in 2006 and in 2022. The Super Eagles manager both times was Austin Eguavoen.


Cc Otite Dafe

Will Eguavoen break the jinx this time?

Omo!
See fresh goose pimples!
Why you go post this kain thing na?
The small confidence some of us had in Eguavoen has dissipated
Chai!

Joezinho:
Dang!!! I really want this deal to happen.

We need a good striker infront of goal which Victor Osimhen will deliver that perfectly. Dude is a fighter, fast paced and passionate..

With Amorim as coach?
I'm all up for it!

charlesemeka85:
I hope so but for him to succeed he needs to let go of few dead woods in the team

Rashford and Luke Shaw should the the first duo to go

You see that Rashford ehn?!
Make I just no talk fes

Amedino99:
not that much different from aribo eh?

You could say so..

Still on the Libya issue..

charlesemeka85:
🚨 Manchester United want to offer Joshua Zirkzee + €30M to Napoli in exchange for Victor Osimhen! 🤯

The Italian club are open to negotiations for the striker.

(Source: @mattinodinapoli)

Napoli would want more
Them fit ask for 50M

But then, ManUtd were told to come back in June
VO isn't leaving gala this season

Libya still pushing??

ChrisKels:
Osayi scammed us big time with that showing on his debut against Portugal. Omo that guy is crap. I blame him hugely for that second goal.

Dude looked uninterested the whole match..
Looked and played like he would rather be somewhere else..
Zero attacking intent
Suspect defending

On his day, he can be good, but yesterday he wasn't good

TheSuperNerd:
Said on October 11.⤵️ About time we get finally serious on this Creative dept issue. We get coaching to sort out and the team's concentration level but this has stayed an issue for years. Na until Iwobi break leg or get ACL na im we go understand say we got nobody for that creative dept??

I could count like 3-4 instances were Iwobi would have released a pass to create a chance, Fisayo did something else
Fisayo is not his deputy at all
I don't even think Fisayo should play except we need goals
That's all he offers that we really need

I think this team does better with Osimhen on the pitch.
He coordinates the press, shouts at other team mates and makes them play with more urgency
Unfortunately, it was a little too late today

Rwanda will be waiting for us in March, and sadly, they have a psychological edge over us right now..

AE should continue
If we bring in a new coach at all, it should be after the world cup qualifiers

elyte89:
Make dis team competitive…dem no Dey hear

I don’t mind giving call ups to dt serie b midfielder in Italy 🇮🇹,stop callling some of dese mumu s like nacho and co ,na lie

Na until when player reach 28 b4 dem go call am .

Completely agree
The Rwanda team all play in Africa, yet they flogged us
Its time to start getting players from anywhere, as long as they can do the job

yemyke001:
Yusuf actually did better than Frank Onyeka today!

Debatable
Though I know why you say so..

I just feel for Okoye
Man's about to get roasted again
