gatecrash123:
it's a preseason tournament

Ok bro

gatecrash123:
you are right, and naija super 8 will commence in July, so no cause for alarm

Which one is super 8 o? Super 6 will start next month.

Danielnino00:
Update: MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja didn't pass CAF inspection mark to host the next rounds of the AFCONQ.. Only Uyo stadium did... Our next game will be at Uyo stadium, most likely...

I think Uyo stadium is among the stadium to host the NPFL super 6 and the other Super 8 tournament.. it might be overused before our next game there

Super 6 would be played in Lagos.

Spy360:
This is just it. It's a sad end to a good season. It could have been better but then, no one is happy to finish second in a race when you know first was a possibility.

Now you're talking. It is a sad end truly but trying to patch up the woeful performances is what I don't agree with.

iamoyindamola:
We collect 4 points from liverpool, never happen since klopp started coaching them

We even scored twice against City. When last that one happen?

iamoyindamola:
3 we finished ahead of spuds

Haa...e plenty sef. We beat Chelsea home and away The comeback king trophy too.

TBH, Arteta did a great job.
However, when you're almost there, you have to be there anyway anyhow.

You have to do everything possible to be there. Sadly, he didn't do enough at the required time.

iamoyindamola:
Roland17 this guy na hater please report him

Abeg o

oya oya...we overachieve. Two trophies no be beans na. 'we made top 4' and 'UCL qualification' cups are better than any trophy.

Roland17:
Sir, after carefully reviewing the embolden, I have concluded this is "Hate Speech", consequently, I have reported your account.

Expect a 20 year ban on this account by the end of business day!

Accept my condolences!

Cheeeeee ,Thanks for posting this

Just negodu kessie laughing while running away from espanyol fans

Who be that Grandpa wey fall for ground?

I saw Busquet running, I had to check again if it is the same Busquet.

I don talk am tire, any arsenal fan who believe we overachieve this season has a questionable mindset. I know some might start with the mentality excuse but you don't just build a winning mentality ordinarily. You build a winning mentality by doing the unthinkable (the other one).

Looking at the scenario that made us bottle the league, it is laughable man. Not that we were playing the big teams back to back or playing in another competitions that may lead to fatigue.

FFS, we drew against Southampton at the Emirates, lost a two-goal lead against Liverpool and Westham. We faced another contender and we were outplayed completely. And you want me to believe we overachieve this season. Nah

Arteta would be on his way out of the club by now if Abrahimovic is our CEO.

We are bottlers...an honorable one.

iamoyindamola:
I read vlahovic is interested in us
We should forgive the werey and go for him, jesus should compete with saka on the other wing

But na 30k per week we get o...em go manage am?

codemaniacs:
its not about tricks... Lukaku does it alot.. runs diagonally from the right into the box then scores and since he is tall and big he doesn't need tricks because it will be difficult to tackle him and push him off the ball, other players will fall down looking for the foul...

Boniface can play from the flanks on both wings, from the goals I just watched on Youtube he can operate on both wings..

put Osimhen on the right, put Boniface on the Left, then put Awoniyi in the center then Orban behind Awoniyi and you have a deadly attack.

Omo...
I'll just advise you to stick to watching football. Stop analysing abeg... wetin be this?
4 strikers? in the same lineup?

damshur767:
Hello fam, I just finished my training on Data analysis and I want to be employed as an intern.
+2348118409500

You should try remote entry jobs.
Please I'm also planning to go into that field. Can you give me some tips..like the total cost and learning duration

Spy360:
Xhaka will be best suited for that role if midfield control is important and if Arteta does not want to lose a forward player. Vieira may take Xhaka's place while Xhaka takes Zinchenko's place.

Vieira? E better make we kukuma play Tierney abeg. That Vieira ain't ready bro.

Spy360:
I want them to lose that match.

Well...let's wait and see how it goes

Spy360:
Zinchenko's absence may affect us because of the tactics we play. I hope Tierney can play that inverted midfield role or else, Xhaka will have to drop into midfield.

Tierney will be fine.... He will give us something different but not similar to Zinchenko's.

Kwashiman:
We have to hold on to the Osimhen generation and hope some of the British-Nigerian kids like Eze, Oliseh etc decide to play for Nigeria.. cause as it stands now I see a generational talent drought in Nigerian football that might take years to fix, we just can't produce talented players anymore from our youth systems. Senegal will dominate African football for a very very very long time.

I don't think so bro...some of these kids will likely be in Europe in few years time. Not qualifying for World cup doesn't mean they won't make it. I don't think there can ever be a drought of talent.

Zinchenko and Saliba out for the remainder of the season.

Joebie:
Make we hold this Osimhen generation tight o. We May experience some drought thereafter
Na Senegal time. Senegal FA must be doing something right

Modified
Na Peseiro go waste am

drought ke? .... Impossible.
options will always be available.

elyte89:
From d guy name sef….ogadigbo ,na wrestling d guy suppose Dey fight

The name even sounds like Gidigbo...as in Gidigbo football

We struck the bar 3 times... Legit penalty denied... Dem give Mali okoro PK...
we no go gree, we dey go Appeal court.

TheGoodJoe:
Not a handball as long as the ball came off the body of the Burkinabe player.

That's a different scenario. He was unchallenged and had all the time in the world to control that ball. That was a legit handball.

lovewins:
I know emotions are high, but this isn't correct. The boys obviously are good.

Na Emeka you dey quote? Person wey dey catch cruise.

Amedino99:
You can't even blame the nff for this.these guys are too wasteful abeg. Atleast u20 and falcons dey go wc.

Wait..with the U20 and Falcons wey you mentioned, knockout sef no sure. Na the U17 dey give us small hope, na why guys dey tense.

Spy360:
Pep should take it personal by resting players against Everton.

Unfortunately their squad depth is not as efficient as before. Aside Foden , Mahrez and Alvarez.. nothing much

Danielnino00:
Personally,I rate KDB very highly...he is ome player I wish we had in our team...But he doesn't really look like the kind of player that influence the success of bis team such that he is indispensable..I mean even in that Man City team,if he isn't available they can do just fine with Gudogan, Bernardo, Rodri...
Anyway, when he eventually retires, his name will surely be mentioned among the greats...

You have said it all bro. That 'influence' is exactly the Koko.

andrew444:
You don’t need to be on zidane or iniesta level before you are being considered great

Just take a look at you trying to downplay kdb greatness with the likes of Leeds and wolves ,let’s all pretend that he isn’t performing well against big teams

You need luck with national team

Nobody is downplaying KDB. You didn't follow the argument from the beginning. Comparing Zidane with KDB was the origin of this argument.
KDB is good, very good. one of the most intelligent midfielders in the world. But he has not done anything to be rated alongside the like of Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi and Ronnie.
I agree you need luck with the national team. Infact, not the national team alone. But then luck or not, your impact should be visible which can't be said of KDB. Argentina lost 3 Copa America finals but everybody was aware of his impact.

andrew444:
Kdb doesn’t need to win anything with his country before you acknowledge his greatness

National team football needs luck at times

Whether you agree or not, a lot of factors will be considered before a player can be recognized as one of the greats. National team achievements will always be considered. Mere statpadding against the like of Leeds and Wolves and hiding when it matter most in the national team won't get KDB among the like of Zidane and Iniesta.

Danielnino00:
POV: You're asked to compile a list of the top 10 greatest midfielders of the 21st century, regardless of which position or role they played in midfield. Would KDB make your list?

My personal list in no particular order would be:

Zidane
Ronaldinho
Modric
Xavi
Iniesta
Pirlo
Gerrard
Lampard
Scholes
Kaka

CC: Thegoodjoe, I'd like to see yours

It takes a whole lot to be counted as one of the best. The KDB we're talking about here, what are the personal recognitions he has won in recent times both at club and the national team? What of his performance for his country? These are the criteria IMO.
Scholes and Lampard are his only mates in this list. TBH, I didn't watch much of scholes so I can't really say who is better. As for Lampard, both are on par IMO.

daveP:
I sense 300m spending at most. Striker alone na above 100 right now.

sure...we will get some kudi from player sales too

daveP:
I know that. But the fact he set Modric there too shows he doesn't think anything great will come from that angle .

If na chuks dey dat wing, game over


Grealish get pr cos he's the only top club English winger in Europe right now. I'd prefer a Rashford hype to him anyday. I'm glad tweeps are calling out the bias of the commentators yesternight. City were outplayed tactically to me. They block the center to make them use the wings where absolutely alert fullbacks are. The 2 times madrid dozed off, rodri and kdb got shots down the centre. Pep has to change Haaland role so he can be more involved in play in 2nd half. Etihad will be tougher. Can't believe basic 1!2 passes cracked City.

We await the second leg...
The battle of Pep and Don Carlo
