Oga abi na madam, you are attacking Lookman.

And no I have never seen you say "Osimhen played nothing in a game". Never!!

Look, enough of the excessive Osimhen fandom while rubbishing others.
Oga and madam
That what you can run to
Nothing else
Is Lookman above attacking
Like I said if Osimhen had a bad game
I will simply say it
I was a super eagles fan before I became an Osimhen fan and I am also a fan of Lookman too
No one is above being attacked
He had a bad game and you say it as it is

keep hope alone guy apply logic. This boys are mentally weak and cannot cope with pressure of 6 points from 2 games
Coach got the second half wrong if you ask me
Tired defense, wing back and midfielders lost us this game

Does Chelle look like he fit take us to KO stages of AFCON? Talk true?

Besides, NFF though...

Maybe na we as fans dey see wetin dey no fit see sha. Cos their quality of managers ehnnn.


Thank God i said lets see what Chelle does in 5 games before we get carried away.
The working for our goal was mad. It was nice tactics. That is why Osimhen went to celebrate him. Chelle can. He just started working with them. He also needs to trust Onyedika more.

I can now say that the problem with this team is not coaching majorly. The coach should start scouting for players, just as Rohr did when he was newly employed. Only Bassey and Osimhen showed real zeal. Players like Bankole and Obasogie can't provide strong competition for Nwabali; we need Okoye back

I honestly don't think he can. Not because he's not a good coach but because he has a set formation in his mind and doesn't seem willing to adapt to the payers he has. While that might work in club football,it will never work in national team football because there's no enough time to drill your tactics with the players. You have to adapt to the players you have and maximize their strengths not put them in wrong positions and be experimenting complicated tactics

Tbh this was not a bad qualifying round of matches, the boys played their hearts out in this round if we are being honest, and if not for a silly lapse in concentration we would have had a perfect 6 points. The problem was that we started badly, if not 4 out of 6 in this round is not bad.

Don’t give up guys , worst that can happen is we don’t qualify, but I dare say we still have a 50% chance, a whole 12 points to fight for, especially if South Africa loose 3 points and they will.

A lot has happened to Nigerians in football ti be this lily livered in football, we have been in worst situations. And I know South Africa will definitely loose more points, they can’t win all their matches.

We should focus on peppering fifa to remove those points and believe.

Arsenal is even better at this point but I get your point. Both sabi bottle!!!

Funniest thing is... Arsenal have the general playing personnel that syncs well and the coach but no true striker.

But Super Eagles get just striker. It is Osimhen and Inshallahuuu!!

Give this current Arsenal side what the Super Eagles have which is a true striker and they will win titles.

No difference between super eagles and arsenal 😭😂

But no we had to arsenal the whole thing 😪

I am not attacking Lookman
And we shouldn't praise him either
You singled Lookman and Osimhen saying they are more deserving
If you are more deserving then show it on the pitch
Simple
Lookman has played all the qualifiers match and only had a good game against Rwanda
Someone you said is deserving
If Osimhen had a bad game I will come here and say it too
Stop trying to paint things
Lookman was poor today but when players are played out of position, their effectiveness is compromised.

Chellechukwu messed that one up.

He should have brought in Alhassan and Onyedika both to increase our midfield numbers alongside Iwobi and to keep the tempo up in the final third keeping Zim on the backfoot.

We bring in Onyedika for Iwobi while leaving an Ndidi on the pitch. Nothing changed much... Still a 2 man midfield and only subbing out an attack minded technically blessed midfielder for a defensive minded technically blessed midfielder.

Chelle should have gone to 3 in the middle. Well, we are not going to the World Cup.

SA will lose their 3 pts vs Lesotho and we will still not get near them. Shame.
It looks like that man is Jinxed. The same mistake he made with the Mali team that made Ivory Coast score at the dying minutes.

Let’s just focus on Afcon now. Take it easy guys

Why I prefer Onyedika is his movement to help the team build up. He is tidy with shot passes and is clever with the long balls. Onyeka brings the yardwork and fight but I will prefer a good passer playing as the pivot

At this point let's be honest and forget about the world cup. What more can you ask for? Chelle should have freshened this team after they played their hearts out in Rwanda. Stranger miracles have happened. We hope for the best

Have you seen how many points the other teams in ranking of second place teams look like? . We are 4 points off the fourth ranked team.... Say, we win our remaining 4 games, we will accumulate 19 points.....it still may not be enough

And chelle though not perfect has done well, if other coaches had collected 4 points each in their rounds, we will not be here, we just dey too emotional to see it.
Support your national team like you do your clubs through thick and thin, those boys gave their all, if not for some bad luck and missing chances, Zimbabwe should have collected almost 4 goals.

Osimhen was bad against CAR. Osimhen was also bad vs Guinea Bissau at Abuja. We lost both games at home with Osimhen playing 90mins. He had scored in the previous cap just before those two games.

You didn't utter words like "Osimhen played nothing in this game".
Rather we focused on the midfield problems and more.

Leave Lookman alone and talk like someone who actually follows the game. Lookman have been good for us. Blame his general ineffectiveness today on Chelle's experimentation.

Chelle's tactical choices today were as confusing as your confession to first being a woman and then a man.😁

Honestly home based players would have been a better fit for games like this. Late Stephen Keshi knew how to get the best out of our home based guys.
It's more about mindset. Home based players need to be infused into that team.

Osimhen's goal
https://x.com/Olamide0fficial/status/1904588687247368394

The cross assist came from Ola Aina from the left, good, but why didn't Chelle see through the match that most threats against Rwanda, and today, were from the right? Why didn't he sub out Osayi, as he did against Rwanda, to bring in Yusuf? @supernerd was right; Chelle is tactically stiff. I don't even want to talk about Ndidi



Zimbabwe goal

I would have preferred Ndidi on the field to help shield, and taking off an offensive player at that time. Then used possession play to run down the clock. We needed to improve the midfield at that end but missed that opportunity.

Funny how big coaches keep missing that critical idea.

After years of watching the SE consistently playing 2 midfielders with different coaches then the 2 midfielders issue is not from the coach..

the coaches have been instructed to play only 2 midfielders by the NFF.
and it is mostly 1 midfielder because the other midfielder will the an AMF or CAM playing with the striker.

It is actually the pre assist I am actually talking about. If you watch the video, you will see where one person failed to do his job. To me, that was what caused it.
Ndidi or Osayi?

We can still qualify as group leaders if we win all our remaining four matches and hope South Africa drops more points against us and other teams. Its no more in our hands sha
We can also qualify for playoffs
