Onyeka Onyedika Ndidi Iwobi Fisayo, this midfield is more than decent we just need a good coach to get the best out of them

Who amongst these guys are long ball, through ball, press resistant their strong suit?
Nwakali's skill set is needed in the team. These African teams play us with players from African leagues and them dey try.
If in a squad of 23 with 16 as "top 5" players cannot cover for one "below top 5" player, then wahala dey be that.

Wilfred Ndidi starts in Ruud Van Nistelrooy's first game as Leicester coach.

jihday:
or maybe we don’t have a good coach

A "good coach" can't gift Ndidi with the skill of Sergio busquet. Nwakali and uche should be invited to camp abeg.

Goke7:
It’s even more sad when you look at the quality of opposition we have in our group for both Afcon and wcq. I feel so ashamed when I look at other groups perhaps we should getting tougher opponents may be that can wake up the team.

The Atlanta 96 team lost to Togo B4 winning gold, the last afcon team was playing nonsense B4 the tournament. AE is a competent coach, you can't win all the time. Infact it's better we lost the last match to Rwanda, it set's the tone for our next meeting.
Keep calm!!! Na Nigerians go make Nigeria great.
If we can't support ourselves let's just sell our country.

Who was Rodri before pep?
Return nwakali pr money

An English league come easy for Nwakali pass his time in the Portuguese and Spanish second divisions. What happened? 🤔

Benjamin Tanimu starts for Crawley Town in their FA Cup fixture vs Lincoln.

Actually not Ruud’s first game. He is sitting out this one.

Thanks for being objective. In reality, he is just starting to find his footing, it has been a bit rough for him. Wishing him all the best.

DeloitteNG:
Another formation that can accommodate Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman
And Iwobi given a free role playing from the wings and drifting to the midfield
Nwabali in goal as usual

I like this formation a lot, though experimental but everybody in this line up has played in their positions previously, nice

Amedino99:

I swear 😂😂

Make we just dey observe na 😂

yinkeys:
Where is Emmanuel Dennis ?
Is he a retired footballer?

Dude ended his career with the Super Eagles after the penalty which he stubbornly took and missed against Portugal in a friendly

chrisooblog:
Mikel turned out to be a decent DM but as a CDM I personally feel he would have undoubtedly been world class.

Excellent point and I concur

Tinneh:
Omo this guy is too good abeg, none of our current invited midfielders has this ability he posseses, the closest I can think of is raphel onyedika

But he is not in top 5 leagues na... Abi no be so people talk am?

unfortunately this is not even about losing it is about what is at stake and our approach and set up. If you can help not losing, why lose?

The same Rohr wey dey qualify us with 1 or 2 games to spare? Same coach wey player go dey injured he go send one of his assistants to work with the player? Because of same coach all our players dey ensure say dem push their agents to sign for top clubs? Rohr was not perfect but please give him his due.

Chukwueze
Hope a good club playing European competition in the top 5 leagues that need a winger should come get this guy off the bench
It’s about to be 2 seasons team B bench player
