Yes I can list them
There was one he could’ve squared but chose to go for goal. After the corner kick
When his first shot rebounded
He was smart enough to square the ball in the next clear cut chance that resulted in the goal
He had shots at goal that were off target too
And I was like, Lookman on a regular day hits that on target
Watch the second half again without sentiments
Ketalaere wasn’t even in the game at all, probably because it was too physical that’s why Gasperini took him off
I didn’t know Lazio had a number of strong physical black players lol
Lazio really high pressed and bossed them in the middle of the park first half.
Atalanta should’ve started the first half the way they played with urgency in the 2nd
One of the chances was saved by the goalkeeper and not missed
Another from a corner was blocked by a defender
That was not even a clear cut chance
And there was a shot outside the box that went off target
Lookman didn't miss any clear cut chance in that match
The Fisayo Dele-Bashiru you are saying should have been man of the match I didn't even see him in the second half

Lookman lost a number of balls, when his mates gave it to him in good attacking situations
He was properly marked for the most part except in the late stages of the game
Go check his total shots in the game or watch the second half again
He couldn’t perform magic in this game like he usually does
There’s no point arguing facts with fan boys or sentiments
Dele Bashiru scored a vital goal that almost got Lazio the victory
Lookman wasn’t the best player on the pitch in that game, he wasn’t top 3
Lazio midfielders did a good job

Missing chances and saving chances are two different stuffs…instead u shld be praising lazio gk for putting on good performance

Lookman is just another gravy.
Why pass from here.
Great assist.
Complete team player.

Ademola Lookman chances in the game missed
Minutes 60, 61, 73, 75
He could’ve squared a rebound instead of shooting again
Oh well Lazio did ok
I was hoping Lazio coach don’t play Bashiru before the game, since he wasn’t starting some games ago
My instincts told me he was gonna cause Atalanta some problems
Dele Bashiru to me doesn’t look like a creative attacking midfielder, rather a goal scoring offensive midfielder just like Joe Aribo a few years ago. They have goal instincts
We all ultimately want Atalanta to win the league
Now they’ve dropped two points
Inter will most likely defeat Fiorentina away
Oh well
Good luck to Atalanta
January games will be very tough for them
It’s tough but they need to start and kill games with urgency in the first half & not in the second
Inter are still favorites sadly because they easily finish off teams
I’m not even worried about Napoli, Atalanta will handle them

One guy i singled out in the CHAN Eagles is the guy #17 Papa Daniels (if am correct with the name) left footed calm but not very assertive, great potential though for the position he plays and can pull his own in the main eagles squad
also the left full back guy showed some sprinkles of good play

we need central backs that can pull their weight in the main eagles from the local league but guys are not just stepping up
wish them guys well in the competition next year if they are still playing local

We already have 2 good athletic left backs in the main super eagles
Bruno & Zaidu
Bruno’s team is fighting relegation, hopefully a better club can come for him.
I agree we need good ball playing centre backs like Ekong that can read the game & defend properly like Rudiger/Saliba with minimal mistakes
And nod the ball too like Gabriel Maghalaes in Arsenal lol
More competition is needed in the centre back and midfield position for our team to become world class

All those content creators and influencer were not seen in the CHAN Eagles camp..

If it's the main super Eagles now, we will see them everywhere.


I hope the NFF can address this issue by March...

You don't know how much I detest seeing these content creators or the so called celebrities around these footballers. As a pro footballer, what in the hell are you hanging out with the likes of Carter Efe, Cubana Chief Priest etc for? Footballers used to have prestige and they were worshiped because it was rare to mingle with them or chat with them unless they granted you an interview as a journalist. See as Boniface dun make himself grain of rice for birds to feed on.

Big ups to the innit boys and the few others who have maintained their distances from these people.

I don't think this is fair sha. Footballers are humans and they have a right to have a life outside of football. As long as said activities doesn't deter their primary assignment.

I don't fancy the guys you mentioned neither do I agree with their projected lifestyles. What I won't do however is use that as a model for other persons to fit into. Footballers clubbing and partying isn't new, it's been there since time immemorial. JJ, Kanu, Martins etc did same and mingled with the socialites during their time, the difference now is social media giving visibility to something that was hitherto not very exposed.

As for the init boys, the fact that they don't mingle with those in Nigeria is simply because they aren't familiar with them. A vast majority of these guys go clubbing and have folks in the mold of Cubana in London they also mingle with. Ola Aina has featured on multiple podcast and have very recently started something similar. Like I said, as long as it doesn't affect their primary assignment, they are entitled to a life outside football and we don't necessarily have to agree with those decisions as long as it isn't illegal.
