Massive 🔥🔥🔥
Mentality Monster!!!

Mujtahida:
I think he will score. I pray he scores. I just hope all of the issues of the past days does not weigh him down.

I expect an Osimhen brace or hattrick on Saturday

minfelix:
🤣🤣🤣🤣 i just dey pity Cameroon now 🥺🥺….them go too rob dem wetin no good, chai no more Issa Hayatou🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

They need to give mbeumo and kofane the ball in areas where they can hammer shots especially from outside the 18 yard box

Then they must try to defend resolutely and not give away free kicks and penalties in and around their 18 box, because the refs will be on the look out to give those to Morocco..

If they defend resolutely and keep their shape, they can knock out Morocco..

Meliforme:
Regarding Osimhen and Lookman's saga

Lookman's behaviour towards Osimhen is like administering Paracetamol (an analgesic) as a cure for Malaria.

Lookman should have joined in the cautioning of Bruno and the entire team, instead of providing a dissent making it look like Osimhen doesn't know what he is saying.

Lookman did not attack the real problem. This made Osimhen more upset.

Osimhen's emphasis was on teamplay. Lookman's was leaning towards glory hunting.
The number of goals Osimhen has scored should not banish teamplay.

Lookman's words lacked compassion and real comfort.
He is more deserving of the stick.

I believe that every professional should be educated in the principles of conflict resolution, so that they can settle conflicts without exacerbating it.

You know book

Odunayaw:
You refuse to add the context that he was asking the GK to return to his team's side of the pitch for training.

If he add am, the agenda no go complete na
We all know what we are doing

AndSunGorilla:
The day he loses, please don't come and be disturbing us o.

Me disturb?
Me wey carry Chelle for head like gala

Eric Chelle coachito!

TheSuperNerd:
Gift Orban scores against Champions, Napoli.

His 5th Serie A goal.

Hellas Verona leads 2-0.

Massive 🔥🔥

jihday:
I hope he’s a good player, we need to phase out Ajayi and Awaziem

Hmm

Sugarboyy:
Una they talk sha
Lookman or Osimhen should start from the bench?
You for just add Bassey should also start from the bench

No mind am
He wan push agenda,but he no come directly

mekabuachi:
If self sabotage was a person it will be Nigeria 😂

If drama and chaos no dey, it can't be Nigeria

chrisooblog:
Midfield domination is absolutely crucial to stopping the Algerians who know how to pressure defenses.

I sadly don't see how we won't concede (will be pleasantly surprised if we keep a clean sheet) but if our attack plays like how they have been doing for other matches we will definitely breach the Algerian defense. They haven't yet dealt with pace like that of Osimhen and Lookman.

I think we will keep a clean sheet on Saturday

comodo:
The same control we had against Tunisia. Until we started praying for the match to end.

Leave am
Make we dey deceive ourselves

Kog45:
Player like Osimhen,Lookman,Bassey and the rest deserves Afcon trophy and World Cup so that there would be no excuses not to rate them, especially Osimhen,beating Yekini record is cool but not everlasting,winning AFCON and participate in world cup would add to their profiles

Truth

EEGA:
Osimhen is like the Mikel of 2017-2018 SE.The team collapses without him.

If we want to win trophies, we must play to Osimhen's strengths.

You are right

Goke7:
We don’t deserve the guy, I pray he quickly surpasses the Yekini record and retire from the national team I don’t even care about any yeye trophy anymore. Most of the other players can’t even score when he’s not on the pitch, they need him more on the pitch to even score their own goals and yet he’s the problem. 45 minutes against Congo in the playoffs our entire attack went dead and it’s not like players no Dey o! But we keep deceiving ourselves we can do without him Oya let’s try it and see.

All over the world it’s when you have better options or good enough alternatives that you can easily freeze any player out of the team but if you have no better option you stick with you have, manage it and get your desired result. It’s only in Nigeria you’ll hear trash even when there’s no better solution just deceit upon deceit.

I almost agree with you
But abeg make we win AFCON and go world cup first

ThunderFireAgba:
Don't put high hopes on our game with Algeria.

We will crush them

Kog45:
Hmm,we go flog Algeria be that o since they had gone120 minutes against DRC.

The difference is they have more time to recover
Still we will deal with them

Odunayaw:
+1

Glory to God

Happy birthday 🎂🎂🎂
Congratulations 🎉🎉

Kog45:
I don't know that we're creating load of chances and scoring goals but the team is being sabotaged?....yes against Algeria if Chelle gets it right nothing is stoping us but Onyeka and Iwobi we need to double their efforts for us to enjoy Iwobi...am seeing Onyedika and Chuckwueze killed it latter in the game

For me, I actually prefer we start Onyedika instead of Onyeka in this game..
Onyeka is on a yellow, if he gets another, he will miss the semis if we get there..
Chuks can be our joker in this game

Kog45:
Hmm and we're facing the same Algeria team of 2019 abi, remember Algeria eliminated the same Congo Dr that beat us recently though via penalties.....my man we can only get over Algeria with good tactics like we did in group stage and against Mozambique.

DRC only beat us because we had gone 120 mins with Gabon days prior, and they still needed a penalty shoot out, which could have gone either way

Normally, we go flog them

Starboytwo:
Baba, even Ndidi that has refused to score for us don score... No two way about this....

You're right bros..
We have a super team and we seem to get better with every game..
Even our much maligned defence is become more and more solid as the guys understand how to play better together..

Also the Coach has identified the weak areas of the team and improved them..

We have become a free flowing side, creating loads of chances and scoring goals at will..

It will take something super special to stop this team..
Does Algeria have that super element? Time will tell
Although I don't see Algeria stopping us
We are that good

Starboytwo:
I'd be scared too if i'm not Nigerian and following the afcon... The Super Eagle teamis currently Gold Standard... Frightening Defenders, Overworking Midfielders and a Very Potent Attack(2 former APOTY in the last 3 years) All 3 attackers are on multiple Goals + assist....

Osimhen = Goals
Lookman = Even more Potent in a Tournament.
Akor = 3rd options with a Goal and 2 assist already...

we stacked bro...
Onuachu dey bench dey salivate(1 goal already)
chukwueze wants to play badly i'm sure.
Bashiru when called upon like to get in the box (1 assist)
Onyedika. have not even played anything but 1 match (2 goals already)

Baba, i'm just waiting for the cup...
i hope they do a lagos state parade...

Proud of the team... Premium Joy...

🔥🔥 🔥

Update

Iron Galaxy dey shadow the thread
Dude dey enjoy our arguments since yesterday

Odunayaw:
Chriskels say it is because of Osimhen

🤣🤣

FiveFootNinja:
As a potential opponent, I don't know if to trust you or not.

Can any Nigerian here confirm this abeg? Is Calvin Bassey eligible to play in the quarter finals?

He was never disqualified to begin with
Dude is starting the next match

FiveFootNinja:
True.

Kai. Can't remember when last we had depth like this in the squad.

Iike mad depth!!!
All along our major problem has been poor coaching

FiveFootNinja:
Eric Chelle should have it in mind that Iwobi might be double marked in the quarter finals. It's clear now that he's the main guy who orchestrates our best attacking chances from deep.

Chukwueze is an option

Goke7:
😂 no make we continue to blame osihmen for everything, yeye nonsense

🤣🤣

charlesemeka85:
Better mumu move ooo

Well, I was more excited when Frankfurt showed interest
We'll take the move though

Danielnino00:
Bassey is suspended for the Quarter finals...
IMO, this could have been avoided if he didn't play the Uganda game and pick up an unnecessary booking in the final minutes yesterday..

Now, it's either Ogbu or Awazeim to partner Ajayi...

I hope Chelle and the NFF technical crew are aware of this suspension

It had nothing to do with the Uganda game
Bassey got a yellow card in the 90th minute!!
Your team is leading 4:0
It's the 90th minute?
What are you getting a card for?
It's that lapse of concentration that sometimes plagues our team
