Mujtahida:
He's level with Mo Salah, Nicholas Jackson, Brahim Diaz and Mahrez

Time for him to do a " John Cena" on them..
You can't see me!!

daveP:
Benjamin own too sweeeeettttt. Chai.

Another that was sweet was Echiejile that year. Came on board as replacement. Became competition under a short time and grabbed the spot for himself. Lol

Echiejile was an answered prayer that year
Omo that left back position wan wound us then!!

daveP:
Apoty is really showing why he's apoty

4GA. Topping both G and A tabs. Omo.

Levels dey
If no be that yeye coach wey wan spoil him career, infact 2 coaches sef

SymphonyRad:
Akor is a great find for us sha

Massive player
Gives the Benzema - Ronaldo vibes with Osimhen

Odunayaw:
Along with 6 others

Okay correct
He must play against Uganda
Hopefully he can statpad against them

daveP:
Yeah. Let's not also forget those that click immediately they debut and stay on till. Overall, recruiting na all time low. For now we face AFCON sha. I heard some legends talked to Bassey that year. Talk made the difference.

In recent times, I think maybe only Benjamin and to an extent Akor have had seamless bedding in period into this team
Both have become integral members of our team

minfelix:
Uganda don concede 4goals
Angola don concede 3goals
Zimbabwe don concede 3goals
Botswana don concede 4goals

Omo
I no like this kain company abeg..
See pipe countries we dey follow concede goals
Even against Uganda clean sheet no sure

CornOak:
What I noticed, especially in the first half is that, Osayi was mostly alone on the right wing and was scared to venture forward on the flank.

That's why I like Chuks defensive work
He always supports his full back

Be like Mola is leading the scoring charts abi?

daveP:
Fact remains we currently don't have that. Only Onazi injury and we collapsed in 2014. Still fresh in memory. Replacement o not competition.

Competition is near equal in tech and performance na.
Replacement is mostly near in tech and near in performance.

I get you
If we allow other players get game time, they may grow to become leaders too
Remember how Bassey was error prone in the early days

charlesemeka85:
the reason I have never been a fan of his

He plays secondary school football

Ejuke has not grown

Mujtahida:
Onyedika done go two Afcons now, e no see ball play. Not even a minute.

This is an indictment on the coach. Why should I invite a player that I cannot use? Makes no sense to me

No Coach like back pass na
The guy na back pass merchant

daveP:
Hilarious fact

We currently have no replacements for these guys


Lookman
Osimhen
Iwobi
Bassey


And this alone is scary. And we wan go World Cup. The engine room of the SE right now.

Wait fes, we never even replace Iheanacho till now.😂😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

We don't need to have players at the same levels as them
We just need competent substitutes
For me, these 4 players should complete all our games

Samueltemi337:
Tunisia don concede 4
Botswana don concede 4

Thanks for the correction

junnyjake:
The only sub for Onyeka that will make sense was an Nnadi introduction.

Alas, Ndidi had no business committing that foul that led to their 1st goal.

Gbam

Ejuke Should be tied to the bench
That guy is a poor winger

CornOak:
When a win feels like a loss...

We were cruising to victory in the 70's minutes and boom! We gave it away.

That 3-goal lead was a bold statement but alas!

Anyways, we got the three points.

We still thank God
Job done

charlesemeka85:
and hv any team conceded more than us?

I don think so
We don concede 3 like this

Odunayaw:
Against Ivory Coast actually

..

minfelix:
There wouldn’t have been wailing if today’s game went this way
Nig 0-1 Tun
Nig 1-1 Tun
Nig 2-1 Tun
Nig 2-2 Tun
Nig 3-2 Tun
and then Final whistle
Trust me Nairalanders would have so praised the super eagles to highest heaven if the course of game had gone that way😃😂

That's why this win feels like a loss
We were in a very strong position
3:1 at 70-80 mins is a very strong position..

Just manage it
For me sef, he didn't need to sub out anybody
Maybe only osayi

Subzero0477:
Ejuke sef!!

Ejuke had no business being in this match
We've also seen why he has not grown
He is past his peak

zicky:
no matter what, Simon must play that's his game plan

Zero tactical input
Just Simon and vibes

Goke7:
In fact I have lost confidence totally, it looks like when you think the team has begun to click then Chelle goes into a coven to cast a spell.

Before the game started I was so nervous even my wife was begging me to calm down. When we were 2-0 nil up I said it here we just need to keep possession and wound up the game. I had concluded that the eagles have wrapped this up. I was even shouting that osihmen must not be substituted cos I know Chelle I didn’t even know he had other demonic antics. Noooooo this is a disaster. This man will finish us up soon. Dem send am to destroy us.

Omo

mekabuachi:
No team has scored more goals than Nigeria at AFCON 2025 so far.

First Nation to qualify for AFCON round of 16, 2025.

Soaring 🦅
Let's focus on the positives please
Chelle go improve no worry

Second actually
Egypt was first

CornOak:
Must Simon play? Chai.

Help me ask am o

Joebie:
Onyeka didn't even seem tired for me.

Onyeka has the lungs to pay for 120 mins
He's never tired

elyte89:
Very stupid coach and a stupid change …aw could u bring in 2 wide men and remove a wide man and a midfielder..and d pressure piled up …what else was he looking for…more goals after 3-1 …mumu

He could av brought in a midfielder to replace frank and seal d game off at 3-1

Simple!!

Goke7:
If this ended 3-1, I can forgive the team and the coach, but 3-2 from 3-0 is not the mark of a great side.

This is the World Cup qualifiers script being thrown at us again.

Meaning Chelle can easily draw a 4:0 game from a winning position

This man has decimated our confidence in his ability
He should be sacked after the AFCON

Samueltemi337:
Why exactly did Chelle sub Onyeka in this match

Same thing he did against Tanzania
Zero reading of the game
Just in a hurry to bring on Simon

Mujtahida:
Teams now know that they can score us no matter what.

Same thing he did against Tanzania
Took off Chuks and Akor who were having very good games

Subzero0477:
We just beat a North African powerhouse, in North Africa let's put things into perspective before coming for Chelle

It will be difficult to do, seeing the manner in which we closed this game
Chelle's terrible game management will make headlines more than our win and subsequent qualification for the next round

Napoleon55:
He is better but I don't he is up for this tournament

Maybe he aggravated an injury
Remember he was injured before the AFCON
