A player from Yum Yum FC An academy? What kind of joke is this? Why not allow the lad to grow through the ranks.

They are now turning the Super Eagles to an all-comers affair.

GeneralPulal:
It’s not bad, if he’s good..

bigcasava1:
which country is yum yum fc is in?

Here

Ahmed Musa?

Really?

Isn't that man like 63 years old by now?

Ok

Cool

Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City, England); Out of form, lack of fitness

Frank Onyeka (Brentford FC, England); extremely less playing time due to lack of form
[/b]
Iwobi (Everton FC, England); Oustanding

[b]Joe Aribo (Southampton, England demoted due to extremely lack of form

Nigeria, a population of 200m and we can't scout for Outstanding Midfielders.... we only select players based on Name....

No players development
No tactics
Just play and go

May God help this country

What is Ahmed Musa still doing there?


Scary Forwards, weak Midfield.

Give Victor Sochima a chance, lets see if he would displace Uzoho.

I really wished those on the list were truly qualified ...

Nice list that represent Nigerian diversity... God bless Nigeria joor.

Iwobi again?

Then u would know okocha hand dey inside nff. Iwobi that can not score in an empty net.

This young guy in Italian league doing well now can't remember his name, replace ihenacho for him.


The forward is unnecessarily too much and the midfield just weak.

Iwobi again? ...

Call them from Europe now only to come and play nonsense in the field. Why can't they pick some players from our local league? Ahmed Musa is not even supposed to be there

Imagine calling up Ahmed Musa.
That guy is oike 45 years old.
Wetin him won play? This just reflects Nigeria as a whole where na person wey know person wey no person. No competence 😏

I don't blv in Poseiro or potato.
I saw YumyYum FC. I google it's info. Said it's in Chula Vista. Googled Chula Vista dem say na one trenches for California.

Troost ekong nko?

We have excellent strikers, good wingers but wack defenders.

DontBullshitMe:

My reaction too

The coach should build the team attack around Osimhen. Let him work with Moses Simon like Kravat help Osimhen in Napoli. Crosses should be sent into the box always for Osimhen.

What the fvck is Iwobi and Musa doing on that list?

Nigeria never ready

GeneralPulal:
It’s not bad, if he’s good..

He has not been tested bro.

He should play in bigger clubs against bigger opponents first.

Iseoluwani:
Iwobi again?

Then u would know okocha hand dey inside nff. Iwobi that can not score in an empty net.

He has over 7 assists this season for a team as lowly as Everton. He makes play oga! Do you think you know it all?

Moses simon the only biter we have now

Skilled baller

We have many players who are in currently in their best form. Just that peseiro is a disaster waiting to happen

These guys are mostly individual stars. Can't see a formidable team here. They are here to increase our adrenaline and break about heart ache when the real show begins. Mtcheeew

This list is not a good one, players whose present team form is not impressive shouldn't make the list.
Imagine players from yum yum an academy, Southampton that is battling relegation, hoffeinham that has lost like 15 consecutive matches etc make the list.
Na loser mentality go dey their head.

My advise to pundit, avoid super eagle at all cost

This our Coach is a joke
