They got to the 2002 AFCON final and got undone by very corrupt officiating against Cameroon in that infamous PK shoot-out...my point is those 1994-2002 guys always knew how to stand tall and deliver in big moments when we needed them, the only problem with that generation was that they were too individually skilled to the detriment of playing as a TEAM, and most of the players were full of ego. The 2006 ouster against Angola was one of those upsets that happen in football.

Right now, can you point out one single player from this team who can produce a moment of magic when the chips are down?

humility33:


You dey mind that my pessimistic brother

Yakubu has a good work rate and he found himself in a league that suits his playing style

Put oshimen in this current arsenal team and watch him rain in goals...

Tessyy1701:


At the bolded some player failed to qualify us for world cup in Qatar, should we discard them?

I will take npfl star over Dennis Emmanuel... Oboabona was picked from the Npfl then likewise Mba... I can tell you the quality in the league now is better than then

Kog45:
Osimhen just need this Afcon to tell us he is better than Thompson Usiyen and Rashidi Yekini cuz I rated the duo highly.

Tobichimezie:
Osimhen lacks that elite mentality to win us key games or even carry us in the AFCON like the likes of JayJay, Oliseh, Aghahowa etc did in the 2002 AFCON. I know most of us hate to hear this truth, but Osimhen isn't THAT GUY, no player on this current team has that world class cutting edge ability to carry and lead this present crop of SE players.

Hmmm, my brother. I said this before the CAF awards. He won and I was happy for him as a Nigerian but I know Osimhen can't do much for the SE. He may be a king in Naples but in my books, unless he does well for his country, his royalty amounts to nothing

I still rate Yekini above him

Oya, Osimhen online extended family, come and insult me with words I haven't heard before

humility33:


No he is in a wrong team. He is been misled by a greedy agent. Dude does not even know what's best for him. Someone that ought to be working on leaving Napoli by summer went ahead and be signing new contract

Samueltemi337:
Una own Na just to dey talk


Leave Napoli by summer
Which club ready drop €200m way ADL dey find


He had to sign the new contract to input a release clause in the deal and that's the only way he can leave

humility33:


😂😂😂 you nor know ball at all.

Most of Oshimen goals last season where made from nothing. Yakubu is not a better finisher than Oshimen. If u mention Iheancho I will hear you but when it comes to work rate Oshimen trump kelechi

comodo:

I will quote from the words of the commentator in AFCON 2013 Nig vs CIV. He said. " Once Mikel plays, Nigeria plays."
Our MF was the engine of that team. And I'll say d same thing. Once our MF plays Osihmen will play. You can take it to d bank. All he needs are just half chances.

Blueelf:


That is why I said in an earlier post that if Napoli with a far better midfield than ours struggles to create chances for Osimhen, what do you think will come out of the SE

Osimhen will look like a local league player because of our poor midfield

Don't expect much from him in tis coming AFCON

Philosopher1979:


Somebody should talk to peseiro about our midfield and he should please listen. A 3 man midfield would work. Just put Raphael onyedica behind iwobi and ndidi and we will create chances. Ndidi is now a more creative player.
PESEIRO SHOULD LISTEN

You underestimate Napoli sha... Their president will try any means to stop him from coming.

the only reasonable post u don ever mk since u join this thread

Massive improvement

Blueelf:
In another news, just learnt that Joseph Parker beat the shit out of Deontay Wilder

LOLLLL

Said it times without number that that wilder guy was all brawn and no brain. He couldn't even set up a proper jab

Samueltemi337:
Chideria Ejuke starts for Royal Antwerp
Alhassan Yusuf on the bench

Blueelf:


Yes we don't

In fact, his inclusion won't add anything to a team without tactics and a poor midfield

You guys are complaining about Napoli and how they didn't sign any new person. Now imagine the SE which is a far cry in quality from the Napoli side

My problem with you folks is that you don't like to accept the truth. The SE can't give what they don't have

Me I predicted a second round exit and I stand by my prediction

Tobichimezie:

Sarcasm or no sarcasm the truth has to be said. We just don't have elite players, just "decent enough" players to get us by every now and again. Don't expect too much from this AFCON with this team if I were you

Samueltemi337:
Yeah we don't have elite players


Let's recall the 2002 AFCON squad
They can win us 5 AFCON
