Make GJ comes from bench. I still feel he's still match rusty.

It'll also mean we have a very strong option coming in from the bench

True... I agree. Be like Saliba go start the match.

Jodera2:
Na this thing Man u fans think go collect 7.

Liverpool are a team I know wouldn't want to lose home and away against a particular team. Klopp resting most of his players in anticipation for us says a whole lot

No bro... na the small success wey Man u dey enjoy made them complacent. BTW any news on Diaz and Tiago? Dem go make am?

Jodera2:
ESR should stay. I even want him to get more minutes than what he's presently having. ESR over Nelson anyday for me

The reason why I'll take Nelson over ESR has to do with position. ESR is not defensive enough to play the Xhaka role neither does he possess that WF characteristics.
I don't want any of them to go though.

kokaneprodigy:
Bench Martinelli, He should come in from bench

Arnold and Salah will have a field day. Martinelli is important for this match.

Orban was greatly needed during the last window.

because anyone who watched the S.E since last year AFCON defeat to Tunisia and World Cup qualifier draw against Ghana knows that the S.E does not score against good teams and that means the S.E needs goalscorers like Orban, Boniface e.t.c and midfielders like Nwakali, Onyedika, Yusuf e.t.c and wingers like Ejuke to score goals.

Orban will reduce and protect Osimhen or Moffi chances of getting injured because he can bench either of them or be subbed on at 60mins for any of them don't forget Cancelo was benched by an 18 years old player because Pep wanted to do so.

Osimhen or Moffi can be benched if the coach ( or NFF ) wants to bench either them in order to test other goalscoring strikers and protect Osimhen or Moffi from injury.

Besides Osimhen has not been scoring against good national teams and I sometimes feel as if his lack of goals against strong national teams is sabotaging the S.E.

The S.E is not England that has Ivan Toney but will let Harry Kane play the whole match due to bias and won't even test if both Ivan Toney and Kane can start the match together.

Let me ask you a question, what do you think is the problem of our national team? why do you think we find it hard to score against a 'good' team?

Spy360:
If your spirit is seeing well, I hope it's Nelson.

ESR still has potentials I will like to see.

I don't wish for any of them to be sold. However, I'll prefer Nelson to stay.

sod09:
Trossard for jesus Jesus will enter for second half

I agree...

haabidah666:
Jesus should start plz,trossard can come in.

IMO, Jesus may still be rusty. He should be the one to come in later.

haabidah666:
Paul Tieney

Manchester ref...

FirstbornWds:
I want make una experience last day europhia. Just like Man Yoo and Liverpool.

But make una win am

Abeg..we no want.

Something tells me one of Nelson and ESR might get sold in Summer.

Saka is unbenchable Martinelli dey get plenty joy against Trent Trossard scored 3 goals at Anfield last time Gabriel Jesus is a terror for every defence. who make we bench laidis?

Jodera2:
Liverpool played poorly ystdy but I just hope we won't use it to have hope that we'll override them come weekend. For one, it's not at Anfield, secondly, they played almost their 2nd 11 with their main players at the bench(probably resting them against us).


I just hope we win them and wouldn't enter into that match with overconfidence

Useless club, why Dem go rest their players against us? Na only Salah and Gakpo dey make sense among all. VVD is no more his former self.

Skelly scored at the last minute of the extra time to give the U18s a massive win yesterday against City.
Nwaneri, Souza and Lucky Dube were all in action too.
Straight to final!

Danielnino00:
I don't even understand why we have to co-host with Benin republic... The two stadiums they presented have 20k and 15k capacity respectively.. Jos stadium (if completed) and Enugu can easily replace them.


Anyway, one of Morocco and Algeria will likely win the bid ..they are more prepared

The last tourney was hosted by a North African country. They might want to change that.

Heard CAF representatives were in Nigeria and Benin to inspect the stadiums.
The 6 stadiums picked from Nigeria are Abuja, Asaba, Benin, Kaduna, Uyo and Lagos.

See as Jersey look like pyjamas. SMH.
wtf is that red socks about?

Nike just like overdoing simple things. That black kit be looking like pyjamas. What happened to using pure green?

Be like say na 2 trophies we go carry for la liga this season. And if CDR sef come, we go use the 3 cook treble soup.

So Xhaka actually promised his wife a goal for her 30th birthday, and he delivered.
Impressive... absolutely impressive.
That Saturday night go mad sha.

From now till the end of the season, the club need to do everything to keep Partey fit.
He should get a driver make em no get muscle pull just by pressing the accelerator.
They should go and collect Ghanaian herbs for him wey em go dey drink every morning.
No unnecessary Knacking make em no get groin or back injury.

Jodera2:
Exactly, you sabi wetin I dey talk. Unfortunately, We won't be able to see Saliba anytime soon.

Our pass from the back straight down to attack even if under pressure is one of the big reasons why we're so dominating. That Martinelli to Jesus miss against Chelsea was a very classic example of how we transition beautifully from back to front. You could see how we use triangular passes to beat the heavy press in our box by Chelsea with Saliba heavily involved in that buildup too.

With time, Holding will gel.

Jodera2:
Lol... This is the first time I'm hearing such a punishment sha.

Punishing someone for lack of commitment? How bad was he non-commital for him to be sent home ?

Maybe he didn't nack head for pole to show he was truly defending.

ObaIgwe1:
It cost Chelsea £21m to buy out Graham Potter’s contract from Brighton and £60m to sack him. An appointment that will go down in football history.

Real definition of Money Miss Road.

Their new coach na 35 years old. Silva is 38!
Julian is a fine coach sha.

Jodera2:
Lol... My own is just that recycling.
Against Leeds and even Crystal Palace, there are many aerial balls he could have just passed to his teammates but he was just doing clearance. Even some balls under pressure, he'll just budey it inside. It didn't show because we were very dominant against those two, so we can quickly press them to submission but when it's against top teams, I'll be afraid.

I noticed it too. That quick transition is one of our strengths.
The header that Jesus nearly scored against Chelsea earlier this season and Martinelli's goal against Fulham were both from quick transition.
Make Dem buy aboniki balm use am rub Saliba abeg... we need him at this stage.

Jodera2:
Lol... Wetin him do

Sent out of training for not showing enough commitment.

Jodera2:
Lol... Don't use Sporting to Judge since we used basically our 2nd 11 in midfield and attack (especially midfield)

In fact, it's against Sporting I knew that there's a big drop-off in quality between our first and second 11.

Immediately Partey entered, our midfield was stabilized small, Just the 15m Odegaard entered and I saw a whole sporting parking the bus.

The only person I'm fearing is Holding cos Saliba and Gabriel are so good at Stopping counters intelligently before they even materialized and I've not even talk about Partey who's another king.

I don't know how Holding might fare cos na him I dey fear Tbh

Ok bro... I no just want make we drop. Since 2004 fah..

This Nuno na bad market. Wey I don dey reason how we go cash out like 40m as per say he dey mad form.
Now he don go spoil everything with his hotheadedness.

Jodera2:
That tendency to drift infield is one of the big reasons why we're dominant especially in midfield and to prevent any counter attack.

We come against top teams in EPL, how many times have we been dealt with because of Counter especially due to Zinny wing?

The only reason why I'm even afraid in terms of individual is Holding. Holding can't seem to recycle ball very well, especially aerial balls, Something Saliba is great at. Another thing is that he shouldn't do "Gidigbo" tackling same way he did against Tottenham last season. If he can just calm down and be in tandem with with the rest of the team, I wouldn't have any fear for any individuality.

The difference is he would be up against Salah this time. We saw a glimpse of what I'm talking about against Sporting.

codemaniacs:
After playing for the S.E.... Osimhen is injured and you're saying you like what happened in nap:Les..

you have a mental problem.

Bro...dey calm down. You don't even know what he was talking about.

Jodera2:
So you still think Arteta will bench one of his best and most important player that makes his system click just because Salah??

If Tomi likes, let him be well, the only person he would think of benching is Ben White if he'll ever start.

The only reason Tomi played first leg was because of my injury to Zinny.

But then, I still don't understand why you think Zinny is a weakness instead of strength against Liverpool?

Zinny is not a weakness as such but his tendency to drift inside may create a loophole. And he will be up against one of the league's bests, Salah. It could go either way..

Willock understood the assignment. I'm just happy about his progression so far.
