Chai...and I bin dey think say Ohbritannia na one Apostle wey dey pastor one church for Enugu

daveP:
She really helped Ayinde on this. Else

Exactly and she is not all defensive. She would win the ball, turn and give a good pass. That girl too much. If Etebo still never wake up, JP should call her up asap for the eagles

Deltamani:
Desire Oparanozie major weakness is her lack of pace which she make up for with her Robustness, hold up play, Quick feet’s, Free Kicks and finishing…

In the last AWCON and WC, she was poor in all the aspects you mentioned. Hopefully, she is now more rejuvenated. I kinda like her type of striker....she can be our Lukaku

JohnBullMySon:
She doesn't need to do anything extraordinary as long as her replacement is also not doing anything extraordinary

Who is her replacement? MacLean? MacLean may not even see shirt. In the CF role, Oshoala and Ify are already there. Esther, Ajibade,Gift, Payne, Ordega and Kanu are there already. So, I'm not talking of MacLean even though she has not been given enough playing time.

iamoyindamola:
He ain't cleared yet
It will be reopen by August

If the case later become false allegation, everybody should sue that girl. Starting from kroenke to Edu to Arteta to Partey to all Arsenal fans.

Roland17:
Never underestimate the power of first team appearances. Being the 1st choice goalie for an EPL team is better than sitting on the bench for a 2nd straight season at Arsenal.

Pity the guy small na. I guess you want him competing against Turner/ Okonkwo/ Runnarson for number 2 abi? Make no mistake about it, Leno is a good shot stopper, with great instincts, his problem is that he not a ball playing goalie and he is poor in command his box aerially.

He won't be sitting on bench all the time na
Europa league go dey...maybe League cup too.
Fulham are relegation candidate and the way he will be conceding goals may not help him get a spot for WC

carbonado:
south africa won enter one chance, God save them, almost a penalty at 90 mins

that was a penalty but I'm glad the ref didn't give them. Serves them right...
Falcons should just do normal against Morocco.

JohnBullMySon:
Esther is more important than the three of them combined. She's another Ajibade. Speed, Control, Ball sense.

Oparanozie will cancel out macleans with immediate effect As George/Zogg against the two Ogbonnas. Time will tell how it goes. The Ogbonnas have not really made impact though.

She may able to cancel out MacLean but what of other forwards? Desire will need to do something extraordinary for her to get a WC spot especially when you consider she has not been exceptional for us in a while now

daveP:
So what were the lapses? Cos this win isn't going to cloud that.

The foul throws? What else?

Onumonu was kinda sluggish...
Alozie losing concentration...
Ebi looking shaky...
No plan be for Ucheibe and Ayinde...
Okobi losing many balls in the middle...

Deltamani:
Battle for World Cup spot will be tough…

With this Player’s coming back to the team

Patricia George
Onyinyechi Zogg
Chinaza Uchendu
Roosa Ariyo
Desire Oparanozie
Asisat Oshoala
Esther Okoronkwo

Nigeria Superfalcons Squad depth is just top notch

Wish we had a better Coach, anyway Randy don try small at least we don qualify for WC

Patricia George and Esther will be great additions. I don't know much about Uchendu and Zogg be like person wey wan do modelling
Oshoala is just there.

daveP:
We start tournament focused on Alozie Brilliance, but e be like na Ucheibe's brilliance we go focus on till the end o. Girl was everywhere. Even when the forwards were already panting, she was doing triple work. Ayinde was weak at a point, Ucheibe stepped up. Covered for Plumptre at a point and was still doing her primary assignment.


Plumptre really revealed her technical side today. What i like was Ajibade was giving a listening ear to her teammate over those Setpieces.

Sure.... like I said, Ucheibe is Kante and Ndidi rolled into one. Girl was everywhere. The only one giving it to the cameroonians on the physical front.

codemaniacs:
You're using style to change mouth

It was not a suggestion... You wanted her to be playing midfield ..

well... whatever rocks your boat.

ObaIgwe1:
Thank God you all finally resting the debate. Fact is you all agree on the special role Partey plays, the argument has been about the nomenclature. The truth is very few midfielders does the combined work Partey does, most are either know as an AM or DM, as I have stated on this thread before, very few intelligent MF can do the 2 effortlessly like Partey. Reason Roland17 also claim the guy will command a regular shirt in any team in the world.

If you are to label him, it will depend on the part of his job you appreciate more. I had thought Spy would have seen more of his difence capabilities than his attack link up abilities being a DWL advocate.. For me I appreciate that there are less pressure on our defense when he is on the field and he does that by defending and giving quick linkup to the front attackers.

Anyways, my write up is not to steer the debate all over but my conclusion as an interested observer of the debate. Good one to you all.

Yea...let's put it to bed jare.

Roland17:
Leno is not staying to be a backup goalkeeper in a WC year. Germany have a ton of young goalkeepers that threaten his place on that list to Qatar. He already sacrificed last year, doing same this year will cost him Qatar and possibly his career at a high level. He needs to play 1st team football.

And he think he will make the squad playing for Fulham. He is likely to concede more goals at Fulham which will further be a disadvantage for him.

Roland17:
Bro, he is in the US and the US is very very sensitive about allegations of rape, irrespective of whether they have been confirmed or not. It would be bad PR for the club also to have Partey out there smiling and laughing while a case is on his head.

As for Partey personally, an allegation of rape is a very serious one that can damage ones integrity and confidence, especially if not true. He is going to struggle immensely with his motivation and mentality this season. He needs his family and loved ones around him. Counseling is great only if Partey wants it or seeks it. He is going to need time to process and reconcile things in his head. I hope the team encourages him to see one.

This is going to be a lifetime issue for him even after his career is over and is not going to disappear just like that. This is why I said he should sue the lady if the court determines it is false. He should also spend a lot of money to clear his name and say his own truth, else, the story wrong version of the incident will be remembered.

Can you imagine what Spuds and other teams will chant against him?

it's true. But according to reports, he is cleared already so why shying away from camera. BTW, a middle finger to that accuser

AndSunGorilla:
Mcclean ko, close-up ni

she would have stress out those tired Cameroon defenders.

codemaniacs:
Where's mostob that wants Ajibade to play midfield and not LW or RW.


Onumonu should be taking the corner kicks and maybe free kicks that was a good cross..

Okobi was not that impressive in the first half and Ajibade is our last resort as far as AM is concerned. That was why I made that suggestion.

Roland17:
At 25, his level of experience, technical ability and versatility, Zinchenko will be a good addition to the team.

I've never watch this guy but make e no amaka us sha

That's an entertaining match to be honest...
I'll take the win......let's go world cup mehn


Alozie was shaky when she came on though...
Nnadozie is just so calm with he ball and her calmness is kinda contagious...
Ashleigh na better player...Don't know what's up with Zogg but I won't mind another CB...
Ucheibe is Kante and Ndidi rolled into one...


A big shout-out to the ref too...

Clint02:
I tried not to reply you first with a question because I wanted to.
Well to your question I will say this; When the general team's organisation is off,I think the coach is to be blamed!
Now my question is this. Who's fault do you think it is,the coach,the players,pitch or any other factor?

I get your point bro but I think it made more sense for them to just go ultra defensive instead of trying to play entertaining football. World cup ticket is at stake and if Cameroon had scored, it'd have been a problem because most of our girls were already tired. Cut them some slack bro...

charlesemeka85:
Imagine small bassey attracting Ajax while awaziem and omeruo still Dey Jones for Europe

Chai!

im disappointed bro...I'm disappointed.
Especially Awaziem...he was the heart of Nantes defence sometimes back. Where did it go wrong for them?

Danielnino00:
Kanu for Onumonu... Gift for Ordega...

Gift for Okobi rather with Ajibade moving to the centre.

Okobi has been really poor. Ucheibe is doing her job perfectly and Ayinde too...
Why is Onumonu running like someone coming from labour room.... Maybe Kanu or MacLean should come in.

By the way, this ref has been � so far..... Good officiating.

daveP:
She was very short and yet... Female Courtois no try reach her. Inspiring team. South Africa go hearam(if they qualify sha)

Female Courtois

The girl just dey make me laugh yesterday

Kilishihunter:
After the Rain, Comes Sunshine

the 3 musketeers .

Imagine Kessie at the base..these three on front of him with Fati partnering Omolewa upfront....

daveP:
I believe they will. I expect to see our DM exceptional tonight.

Ayinde and Ucheibe.... Perfect pairing for me. We need more solidity, bring in Otu

Spy360:
Is Partey known for the bolded? Yes/No?

Yea.
Like you said...we put it to bed.

Spy360:
That squad is too much especially with the younger generation coming up and the possible new signings. About 4 players there need to leave- Leno, Runnarson, AMN, Torriera, and the following if we get 2 new signings Tavares, Nelson, Bellerin, Mari.

I want us to have a maximum of 30 first team players. All quality to a large extent. Then use the Hale End graduates as 3rd core or simply loan them out.

The squad will soon be trimmed.

iamoyindamola:
There is, arsenal are the one delaying torreira transfer to valencia
I hope it is not loan sha

No offer yet chief. Arsenal is not the one delaying his transfer unless you want Arsenal to let him go for free.

ObaIgwe1:
They said our boy doesn't want pictures even when fans requested for it on arrival in US.

These were supposedly taken in US without his knowing.

Why? Why is he shying away from camera?

Roland17:
I would have loved to see Patino make this list. Also, why is Leno going when he is about to join Fulham. I'd hate for him to get injured during this tour.

Fulham is the 9nly suitor but they're not ready to meet the 11m fee. That's why Leno is still around. If I were Leno, I'd stay.

daveP:
That's just it. Cos its either their opponents tonight just allowed them flow or Morocco are that good. Their captain(Botswana) was doing the job of three defenders tonight. Lb, CB and Rb.

well...let's hope our girls turn up for Cameroon first
