With how things are going, Onuachu is on track to win both the Belgian Golden Shoe award (for most goals) and the Belgian Ebony Shoe award (best African player).

Yeah

Osimhen starts for Napoli, This is a must win match

I say again IF ROHR IGNORES SIMY IN THE WC QUALIFIERS EITHER OUR TECHNICAL TEAM LACKS TECHNICAL ABILITY OR ROHR IS INCOMPETENT

Neobulletzz:

See you trying to undermine Rodri-Fernandinho pivot

Why do you think Guardiola use Rodri-Fernandinho pivot in big games?

Rodri Gundogan pivot is our main pivot, Rodri Fernandinho doesn't even make because it leaves a huge creative problem and Guardiola only make use of it to rest key midfielders in fringe games

OTD Sober Reflection: Adefemi Olubayo

On this day in 2011, Naija Football lost a son and a rising prospect who was approaching his peak.

He was a key member of the Wonderful 2005 U-20 Flying Eagles side that had John Mikel Obi, Taiye Taiwo, Chinedi Ogbuke Obasi, Apam Onyekacki, Isaac Promise (also late), Solomon David Abwo, and more.

He was also a member of the Silver Medal-winning Dream Team Eagles side of 2008 in which we lost to Messi's Argentina again.

He was also part of the XI that shocked France in 2009 in that international friendly between Les Bleus and Our Super Eagles under Late Amodu Shuaibu.

Adefemi Olubayo was a Right back who could also play right midfield/Right wingback.

Before he passed away 10 years ago today, he had a very good debut season for Skoda Xanthi in the Greek Super League. He was primed for a better season in 2011/2012 and getting set to be married to his lady when the accident happened in Greece. He was on his way from Xanthi to Saloniki to finalise details of his wedding.

Keep resting dear Adefemi. A lad who could have been more in the GWG. Lad was a fine baller.

Too many excuses, kepa was at the goal and don't forget pulisic would have started ahead of ziyech and havertz ahead of Werner. maybe odoi ahead of James (very serious games, like this one was supposed to be)
too many excuses for a loss

Valid excuses if you may say so, it was very clear from the lineup that only Tuchel wanted that win and Guardiola was insha Allah and hoping key players don't get injured for the Champions league semi final

Highly doubt it. Rohr mentioned that he would bring a 4th striker for the June encounters and that'll most likely be Simy.

Bascovanveli once said you haven't been wrong on your "Osimhen starts or not" calls.

I did my check and indeed it is true. An Osimhen whisperer is in the house, guys.

Legendarytotow:
Osimhen starts for Napoli, This is a must win match

Honestly, I still see both as backup options at LB. Don't really have a preference between both.

Jamilu and this guy who do you prefer?

Yeah like don't have the ucl and top4 to fight for

This game.

The Gunners vs Fulham (A team I want to see survive relegation but who keeps blowing it! )

Two Super Eagles in play from the start. One Super Eagles prospect starts too.

Josh Maja starts.

Ola Aina starts.

Ademola Lookman starts..

Game kicks off in 31 mins.

BascoVanVeli:


They have to be aware it is the second teir

True. Kwara United are hot ATM. Wondering the factors with their recent run of success or its all sheer luck?

This set, e be like one Babalawo do them strong thing. Hearing where Vanzekin is right now and the way he's so disrespected on pitch grounds in Benin....

Rip Olubayo.

You talking because Tuchel is bringing water out of stone. Let normal service resume then you will use your same hands to start saying #Tuchelout.

Plus you think it's just this season i've been watching Christensen and Zouma? They are ok CBs but definitely not the quality a club like Chelsea should boast of.

Why I praise the Man City is because they play a highline which is more open and susceptible to counter attacks. Despite their open style they have conceded less goals than Chelsea.

Man city have really not had world class CBs,probably Kompany. They benefit from the kind of system they play which you pointed out earlier. Players go in and out of form so that is not a big deal. Afterall, there were times that Stones was constantly on the bench.

I never mentioned Zouma cuz he is very shaky but I still maintain that Christiansen is better than the CBs u guys have in terms of ball playing abilities.

But osimhen is a sure starter nah apart from injuries struggles recently

So I believe the guy is guessing because line up is only out 1 hour to the game

I am sure you will be the first to lambast him for poor showing when he does not perform in the national team. All man to his own opinion.

I remember his sweet cross for Ogbuike in that final

Well, just saying shaa... Because he was also right about Osimhen starting on the bench against Juventus not so long ago when most fans in Italy were expecting him to start and were even mad at Gattuso for not starting him sef after seeing his impact when he came on.

But if legendarytotow is indeed guessing, then his guesses are kinda done with some interesting conviction.

Aina vs Martinelli so far
Aina on top

Lol... I miss the Blueelf's breakdown of this special football faculty.

If only we had better quality than them at backup, I would not even consider them much but it is what it is so they remain in the picture. I hope Calvin Bassey of Rangers can keep improving so he can come offer us backup upgrades in that position. Him and any other with time.

You remember well My good man. Apt word to describe it. "Sweet" Cross indeed followed up by that masterclass header from Ogbuke Obasi.

Also, Adefemi was known for his boat rowing celebrations. Fine lad he was.

Ndidi and Iheanacho start for Leicester

Newcastle won last game and Fulham is playing for a 0-0

I need him to let us know if chuks will start for Villarreal or not because Villarreal do rotate him at times

Maybe with that I will believe

Subzero047:
Ndidi and Iheanacho start for Leicester

Another guess ,game wey be 6:30 and the line up is Not out yet

Nothing will stop iheanacho from starting today

Saying ndidi starts looks like saying Lionel Messi starts for Barca

Don’t mind them

Arsenal will still beat them
