What if the backlash they received the last time reset their brain?
Mind you, there were people all over the social media that disapproved that post. I could have shared screenshots that time. They did well this time sha.
Lol, one thing with agenda and media(esp social media) is that you will only see what they want you to see.

If somebody didn't gather all those four pictures together you pasted that day, you won't see it as anything. On a solo pix, you'll just see it as England lost a match (with Saka representing England as a player). You'll look at Saka as an England player and not as a "black" player that's being hounded (what they're manipulating you to see). And Tbh, those people who did that got the necessary reaction they wanted (all thanks to social media).

Never for once have I looked at a footballer's normal pix on a cover page(esp a popular player at that) and it screams racism — especially when there's no name-calling on the player, no funny gestures, headlines or narratives attacking such player.

To me it just feels cheap attention.

This isn't the first time that Saka will be on a cover page (Win or lose) and ystdy just give further credence to that

To be very honest, I wouldn't have batted an eyelid even with those four pictures had it been Saka played that full game. Well..na them sabi. One thing I know is Saka is mentally matured to face whatever may come his way.

If Motta is hell-bent on linking up with Kiwior again, he should bring 70m.

Yeah, he's matured enough with strong mentality and that's one thing I like about him..

Me, as long as he played the match then he's their player. I would have understood if he didn't play at all or he came in at the last 5 min.

Anyways, it's over. Make Saka (and Rice) just come back to arsenal with that cup. I'm rooting for them like say na Nigeria/Arsenal dem be grin cheesy

He wasn't effective ystdy even when Serbia dominated proceedings in the second half.

Anyways, I won't even use that to judge him. It's just first game
He's lucky Foden and Kane were even less effective. We for focus more on him. But mitrovic and tadic were better. I love that illic guy. He changed the 2nd half. He'll be a good one to watch and get imo

I was thinking na Palmer or Gallagher go wear that 8. Only to see that Carpenter wey no sabi defend sotey e affect Saka game. Cos saka dropped deep like 1million times to help Walker and Arnold was nowhere near. Just imagine o! 😂😂😂😂😂
Rice work kon triple cos the guy was either losing the ball or watching instead of tackling. Smh.

England setup will be their undoing. They have personnel to go all the way. But if they continue to setup in such a way that the front 3 turn ghost for a large part of 90 mins, then oYO. Na Germany and Portugal be my sure bankers overall. England dey too but unconvincing for now.

Jodera wan make England carry euro cheesy grin it's good shaa. But na Germany and France be my team. England should try and go far so Bellingham can have a better chance at balon d'or aside from that, make dem just come home after quarter finals cool cool. But wait how una go want 70m for kiwior??, Even if I'm a coach I can't go for anything over 40m for him. But that Author Melo swap isn't even mathing, I don't think Arsenal will even consider the deal at all.

England suppose go far. But Southgate is making Jude his focal. He better redirect to Saka imo. He should do all to make him defend less cos that's one way Kane and Jude will enjoy themselves. I have nothing to say about Foden until i see him get a shot on target. Guy is average in setup. I even prefer the Chelsea duo in XI than him. I hope they don't miss Rashford. Cos that guy go get telepathic sync with Jude if he were here. But form.

Overall, Kudos to Guehi for such achievement. 1st Palace starter in Euros since 80s for England. Who snatches him up after, we'll see.

Rice suffered ystdy and he really tried. He stopped so many threatening attacks either by interception or tackles. But e come reach time for 2nd half Dem come dribble him life. Bellingham too tried defensively and gave his all but at some point, he started being overconfident and start playing "cruise" game which hurt England.
Arnold own na to deh throw pass. Aside the tackle which led to Walker chance(that the latter missed), he was almost just anon throughout.

Rice, Bellingham, Foden is the real deal in midfield. Foden should be allowed to Roam.

Anyways Sha na first match and it's good they won it. No cause for alarm yet from my ends

If Gvardiol can cost 100m, Kiwior suppose pass 50m at least. Maybe the 70m was exaggerated.

You fall my hand adding that Foden. TAA na like robot with a very short program installed. Pass and look. Nothing else. But he's more likely to have his moments than Foden imo. If na Jude they wan rely on sha, wahala dey. I have 6teams that can neutralize him in KO stages and hurt England. Na 1st match as you said sha. But i won't use Slovenia to think they've arrived either.

Lol, England have been using Foden wrongly imo sha.

Ystdy where they seemed to tactics abit and switch Foden to middle, he seemed come alive a bit but alas it was too late.

Anyways, Foden na epl best. There must look for ways to put him or for him to start and that's why I'm suggesting him. No how an Epl best player should be a bench player

That's the only thing making him be in that XI right now, I won't lie. He needs to justify it. I dunno if it is lack of fear factor. Cos all the times he got the ball nothing. Saka gets ball and 2 doubles up on him and yet he gets an assist. Anyhow e be sha.

I think he's someone that needs team to be built around him to excel.

This season was his really stand out season and that's because it was really built around him cos of absence of Kbb. Maybe that's what Southgate needs to do

This is where the issue lies. A serious coach will go for balance over name. That is why England no dey win anything. Rice and Mainoo will give them that midfield control. Infact, I think I'll go for Palmer ahead of Foden. Let Foden battle with the wingers.

Foden in wings is wash and that's what I believe have been affecting him in England so far.

Rice, Bellingham and an Advanced Foden ought to work while Palmer can be a deputy for Foden. Palmer is good but then he should work for it. He hasn't even been tried in England set-up yet for him to just waltz into the first 11 like that.

They have enough wingers already for them to start forcing Foden there

Foden is formidable on the wings in man city set up, last season and last two season that was his role at city and he still shows up. Everything was wrong yesterday with that system Southgate choose.

Foden actually plays more as a winger than a midfielder for City. Baba just flopped for that match ni jare. Maybe he is more comfortable on the right than on the left. Playing him in the middle will affect the other part of the team especially when you consider there is no Rodri or Benardo in the England team to give the team the required control.
