No one is talking about Payne’s work rate

She’s a gem. Every defender and midfielder that started today actually deserve their place for the next match, for the front 3 only Ajibade and Oshoala have a cemented spot. Kanu did well by scoring but definitely has a lot to work on. Hope halimatu’s injury isn’t serious sha. Anyone have a idea how well Echegini can play the no 10 role, so Payne can move to the wings and perform more magic

BronzeTiger:
No we have to pull out my best squad possible. Remember teams playing for pride at the last stages can be quite dangerous. I think we can still technically be knocked out of the groups if australia punish canada.. We have to beat that defensively notorious ireland well.

Great point, I fear European teams the most, they are always so clinical no mater how small they are

daveP:
Imuran and Alozie as wingback so we can provide crosses throughout. Oparanozie starts cos cross and nod only effective that way. But one thing is sha certain. Ajibade abd Ayinde are starting next game. So this won't work.

Bro, spent last night analyzing Australia’s matches this year and I can confidently say that cross and nod will not work against them (might only work for them against us although they even aren’t so good at scoring it but don’t count them out). If we want to beat the Aussies or get a result, we’ll have to do it the hard way, by actually playing direct football with intelligent & accurate passes and defending well, we won’t even need dedicated wingers and counter attacks else they’ll tame us. And the full backs, CBs and DMs will be extremely important on Thursday cos most of Australia’s attack will come as those square plays and through ball into the box. I will go with a front 3 of Kanu, Oshoala and Ajibade. But Ajibade will have to spend more time in midfield alongside Payne to help transition into attack. That’s just my take, I’m open to criticism, corrections and appraisals till the reality of Thursday’s match comes

Samueltemi337:
my source told me Rui Faria is our new foreign coach

But I don’t think NFF can afford Faria though

Oldboss:
which fair game he played awfully that kai first goal was partly his fault
then that irrational tackle on timo that got him booked
defensivly aina is bad

Omo, Aina has suffered sha. Person wey dey ball.... Among our defenders, he’s the best passer, the best dribbler and the best goal scorer. Even his marking is not bad, he had quite a number of successful interceptions yesterday. Let me tell you something about Ebuehi, I’ve been watching his games in the Eredivise these past few months and it’s been average, Ebuehi’s strength is his pace and marking(paradoxically Aina is quite better in marking skillful opponents but poor in marking Pacy opponents), but when you watch Ebuehi’s game closely, you see flaws in his technical abilities, don’t get me wrong, he’s good but he’s still raw, he joins the attack often but hardly contribute positively cos his crosses are still below average and his confidence is still far below Aina’s own. For Ehizibue, well not yet o, with the past few games I’ve watch him play in the Bundesliga, it seems he’s better off the ball than on the ball.

Hope super league won’t affect AFCON, you know FIFA is no longer in charge, anyway, hope none of the SE’s team gets invited

andrewbaba44:
Agreed

Chukwueze played nonsense

Chuks doesn’t look like he he improving

But I still Dey observe

Lol, he still has that NPFL dribble and waste it mentality but Samuel is beast when he plays well, you can’t take that away from him.

My opinion, though I Know many won’t agree
Aina > Ebuehi (but I’ll pick Ebuehi if counter attack is the plan)
Aribo > Etebo (but Etebo plays African football better)
Uzoho > Maduka ( I feel Maduka will become better with time but for now, he’s just lucky he hasn’t been exposed)
Anayo proved Rohr right about NPFL
Onuachu has really improved (he’s added that “Giroud” factor to the Afcon 2019 Onuachu)
Iwobi didn’t train yesterday probably wasn’t match fit, he’s done so much for me to criticize
Sadly, Iheanacho hasn’t still found his place in the team even with his quality
Rohr needs to experiment Balogun with other CBs
And finally, we need a Yaya Toure kind of player to pair Ndidi and a solid CB to pair Balogun

Iwobi and Sanusi don’t seem to gel

Subzero047:
SE lineup to face Lesotho

The Oyibo wall has gone back to being our first choice pairing

Great one from Rohr, this will certainly settle the Aina vs Ebuehi debate. I hope Uzoho is tested so he can prove Rohr wrong and will love to see Ajayi.

Samueltemi337:
We are likely to meet Cameroon or Ivory coast in the next round

Thank God they are in the same group, so the risk is minimized. As long as it’s not Senegal, Egypt, Algeria or Tunisia we will be fine. Still have a feeling a minor country will shock everyone and qualify for the World Cup next year

Icon4s:
We need to win so as to boost our ranking ahead of the WCQ draws

Very key, especially the playoff draws

1realBobby:
iwuala has been impressive

Nah

Seems we’ve gotten our back four

Samueltemi337:
Not true

But why does owngoalnigeria lie like this, this is too much and it’s totally unacceptable, there should be a way to close them down

Famocious:
Alex Iwobi out of today's game after testing positive for Covid-19....

Source : owngoalnigeria Twitter handle

Doubt it because it’s owngoalnigeria but if by any way this is true omo na omo X3 cos Iwobi chills with everyone in the time so it won’t be only him

Aina says he’s tired and I’m sure most of them are. They still have to train this evening after this long uncomfortable trip and they’ll still play tomorrow. Smh for NFF

Have you seen this video of the super eagles. Osimhen, Aribo and Ajayi’s body language broke my heart there �

dammywapes:
Bein sports 4

How una Dey see BeinSport abeg?

Karlovich:
Ebuehi, Osimhen, Ndidi can certainly play for England

Let’s be honest with ourselves, non of our current players can cement himself in the England squad, Ndidi and Osimhen might just make it occasionally but would struggle to be a key member of the team, but that doesn’t mean they’re a better team, one interesting thing about this current eagles is the dynamics at which they play as a team, it’s like a synergy of average players forming a great team, just like what we saw in Leeds Utd,the Aston villa vs Liverpool, Lyon of last season and Atalanta

TheSuperNerd:
So even Brazil and Flamengo star, Gabriel Barbosa loves the Nigerian National team jersey... Hmmmm...

I once watched a video on YouTube last year when he did an ancestral DNA test for the show he was about 27% Nigerian, probably that also explains why, will post the link as soon as I find it

Subzero047:
Owngoalnigeria reports that Akpogunma may be paired with Ekong against Tunisia

Lol, even Rohr doesn’t know the pair for Tunisia yet

charlesemeka85:
Thiago silva is 36 and currently in one of the top teams in epl though hv retired frm international football

He still plays international football in fact he’s still their captain

Sorry for digressing
Mheen. Who has seen the new olympic stadium Cotedeivoire just commissioned for the 2023 AFCON? A 60000 capacity
https://www.facebook.com/348421431917453/posts/3332456570180576/

Saw it on Africanews yesterday, made Uyo stadium look old, honestly if Nigeria was a better country, we should have that kind of stadium in Lagos.

benji93:
But this sparta coach no dey try at all. . You buy goalkeeper put am for bench. At least him dey play for Dusseldorf II. First choice goal keeper don chop 4 today. Make we see whether dem go play am for cup matches. Ah. . Nigeria don suffer for goalkeeper matter. No be smal thing.

Lol na true bro, Nigeria has always had this goalkeeping issues for over 15 years now, Enyeama just masked it, remember those days it wasn’t him between the sticks how shaky it used to be, but why won’t we have such issues when the grassroot is faulty, In Nigeria na the most otu player wey wan play by force dey do keeper in grassroot football, that’s how Uzoho became a goalkeeper sef, when I visit some academies here in Lagos, the goalkeepers are the most ignored when it comes to technical training.

chrisooblog:
List is out. let's see if some people will still want to check something now their favorite Alampasu is included

Shocking how Rohr changed his mind on Ehizibue

kellycute:
Behold, the new super eagles kit!. Yay or nay?

Not bad, not trying to be petty but Semi Ajayi would have been the perfect model instead of Samuel.

charlesemeka85:
Kevin Akpoguma commits to Nigeria, uduokhai and torunarigha to join soon

Rohr has done so much for the super eagles, even if his tenure doesn’t end well, he should be remembered for how he turned the team around and made Nigerians proud of their National team once again.

Rip Manu dibango. This man was a hit in the 1970s up till the early 90s
