He may turn out to be another Benjamin Frederick. We wouldn't be talking about Benjamin today if Chelle ain't extended an invitation to him while he was still playing for Brentford U20.

Amedino99:
They will be better known as the "avatar generation". Always disappearing when needed the most. A good enough team on paper, 2 apoty but zero collective success.

Truidstarr:
No naaa..dem go give Una Cup for winning. What is the motivation for the players after a long season?

Goke7:
Meaningless friendly indeed, make I hear Una blame nff again when we fail again in the future.

fabyom:
Lookman came in January to a new team and went straight to play, then travelled to Jordan for those two friendlies. Lookman shouldn't be your problem, Osimhen should!

junnyjake:
We can't win Portugal.

fabyom:
I believe Chelle is actively looking for Osimhen's replacement.
You could feel it in his invitations.
The reason he is speaking to George Ilenikhena, and listed Owen for those two friendlies.

Lookman definitely deserves his rest! He has been available all through the season despite the transfer issues.

Papi85:
na same una go blast Chelle if Portugal and Poland trash us

Una go say na minnows Chelle’s team fit only beat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

lbrichman2:
Bro!!!
The guy is really underrated
See the way he bent his body
Timed his run to perfection
Class!!

lbrichman2:
I agree with you
But this one Alhassan will not play, omo

yinkeys:
Win Portugal with Bruno Fernandez In midfield
E go hard o
Make you no just give me 4 nil memories
Who will handle Rafa. Leao
Curious to see what Moffi & Adams pairing will look like, both technically sound players

lbrichman2:
Bro!!!!
😂😂😂

lbrichman2:
I was about to talk about Onyedika in that Morocco game actually
You took the words out of my mouth, abi na out of my fingers
😃😃

Moniter0:
Wow, look at how people are already downgrading our first eleven because this team won a team that is ranked 71th on FIFA ranking and also did not parade their strongest players. Someone is even pushing for the likes of Iwobi to be phased out. Sure there are some positives to take away from the tournament but I think some of you are overdoing this already. Calm down o

Mujtahida:
Alhassan has intensity. I think he'd have done a better job in that midfield than Onyedika did against Morocco.

lbrichman2:
Broo!!!
My belief in Chelle and this team is over the roof!!
How he improves players is his biggest strength in my opinion..

He brought back Alhassan and platformed him greatly
Dude be looking like a solid EPL midfielder
See that second goal na??

His scouting is also topnotch!
His game management and team building is excellent

Painful we missed the WC
We should be winning the next 2 AFCONs

Give Chelle a 5 year contract!
Pay his salary and allow him work!!

FiveFootNinja:
Kai. This World Cup thing will never stop being painful. 🫠

minfelix:

lbrichman2:
That's the Super Eagles we grew up loving
Not Rohr's and Peseiro's (Pre AFCON) teams that struggle with minnows

lbrichman2:
Broo!!!

fabyom:
5 scored, non-conceded! What a team!

NasirIbnLaAhad:
I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with this set of players. To be honest, the first half was shaky but they've grown properly into the game. To put into context, South Africa (who are World Cup bound, by the way) recently played a goalless draw against Nicaragua of all freaking teams. And they played with the best of their best: Appollis, Foster, Mokoena, Mofokeng, Moremi etc. The fact that we're dominating Zimbabwe and Jamaica with a bunch of Z listers is absolutely nothing to scoff at. Eric Chelle is the shining light in this bleak era of Nigerian football.
