Newcastle score again!!! This match is the game of 24/25 EPL so far. Insane action.
That first goal by Isak is something else.

What a game

Lol, there's too much favouritism and godfatherism in the current NFF setup for that to happen. Dessers doesn't have a godfather in the NFF, so his continuous exclusion from the team is not surprising to me. It doesn't even help matters that it's his mother, and not his father that's a Nigerian, but that's a topic for another day 😄.


I don't even want him to be called up now. Let Eguavoen go ahead with the usual suspects to the WC Qualifiers, so that if eventually he fails to qualify us for the World Cup, he'll know the people to hold responsible. There'll be no Dessers for anybody to blame for their failures.

Yes he deserves call up but who is Dessers for us to blame him when we have Osimhen and Lookman to blame

Eguavoen will not be in charge by January. Dessers is my man...but he has not really clicked for the SE.

To be fair, Dessers has more Super Eagles goals than Boniface and in lesser caps too. Just saying.

Anyway, all of the striking backups hasn't exactly impressed much in the GWG.

Osimhen competency will not let us see much of other strikers,like playing time.Boniface started with Osimhen on the bench twice but failed,other strikers didn't have that opportunities.It is left for AE to give us reliable striker in case Osimhen is not available.

How many strikers have clicked for the Super Eagles apart from Osimhen and Iheanacho? Bro, I don't where you were when I made the initial comparisons but in case you missed it, here's the updated list:


Sadiq Umar has 1 goal in 12 matches for the Super Eagles.

Paul Onuachu has 3 goals in 25 matches for the Super Eagles.

Awoniyi has 2 goals in 10 matches for the Super Eagles.

Boniface has 1 goal in 11 matches for the Super Eagles.

Cyriel Dessers has 2 goals in 6 matches for the Super Eagles and those 2 goals came from 2 starts. 1 against Mexico and another against Ghana( 2 teams that are not easy to score against).


As you can see, Dessers has a better goal per game ratio for the Super Eagles than most, if not all of the strikers I mentioned above apart from Osimhen and Iheanacho, yet they keep getting multiple invites ahead of him.


Dessers is one of the few Nigerian players who decided to play for us despite the fact that he could have easily played for the country of his birth/naturalization. The other players I can think of are Iwobi, Victor Moses and perhaps Lookman.


As at the time Dessers decided to play for us, the only Belgian striker that had a better goal scoring record than him was Lukaku. Every other Belgian striker was beneath Dessers. Even Lois Openda was nowhere to be found. I made the comparisons on this thread some years back.


If Dessers decides to play for Belgium tomorrow, he's walking into that team WITH EASE, especially now that Openda isn't performing well, but I know he won't because he loves Nigeria so much.

Lol, how many Nigerian fans have the balls to criticize Osimhen when he performs poorly? 😂. Let's be realistic please.😂


If Dessers is involved in the WC Qualifiers and we fail to qualify, Nigerians will ask for his head, as well as the head of the usual scapegoat: Alex Iwobi 🤣. That's when you'll hear that Foreign born players don't have the "Nigerian spirit." Nigerians are funny people.


Let Eguavoen leave Dessers alone abeg. He should go and play the qualifiers with Sadiq Umar and the rest. Magic can happen 🤣

Osimhen way dey chop criticism even in this thread
The fact that one or two people decided to call Osimhen out on rare occasions doesn't in anyway translate to "chop criticism." You know wetin e mean to chop criticism?


When we're talking of players who don chop criticism from Nigerian fans, we're talking about Odion Ighalo, we're talking about Victor Moses, we're talking about Daniel Akpeyi, we're talking about Maduka Okoye, we're talking about Paul Onuachu, we're talking about Alex Iwobi. Osimhen is not even in the top 10 of the most criticized Nigerian players.



You wey dey talk, how many times you don criticize am? When he scored just one goal in the last AFCON, didn't you still defend him? Leave matter for Mathias abeg. Let's not start a conversation that will spiral out of control.


Osimhen's so called critics are in no way comparable to the plethora of fans who defend him when he underperforms. His critics are just about 0.0000000000001%
