E b like say ppu don move on with this 3points deduction o…🤣🤣🤣🤣,so e no sure be dt …but sincerely fifa suppose punish dem for fielding. A suspended player

I know hindsight is 20/20 but lai lai I would never have started Chukwueze or Osayi yesterday. I said that much that the two looked suspect when reacting to the Rwanda game.

Personally you only keep a consistent XI when most of them have done enough to earn your trust and right now it's only 5-6 guys I can trust in that team now.

minfelix:
sir do you think its easy for a coach to just wake up after 4days to refresh his team?….a team that showed mad impressive game in an away match…..let us all put ourselves in this coach’s shoes….if na you b coach bro you go still start same starting 11 again that dismantled Rwanda away…lets be frank here

Osayi Especially, RB was the weakest link against RWanda and yesterday. But what do i know

The One in Nigeria that we lost to Rwanda, osayi was a culprit. Against same rwanda, last week, he was still a culprit, yesterday, he's still a culprit.


Someone is definitely influencing the choice of osayi as RB cos two managers now have shifted Aina to LB to accommodate that lazy leg.

Bomnaija:
I don't know how u guys see this but i think this Nigerian team is really useless....basic footballing skills is not possessed by any of the players except maybe osimhen and I dare to say that without osimhen in this team, they will struggle to beat Tahiti or even Somalia...

Which kind team be this...
No intelligent play, no pattern, nothing.
Thunder fire anybody wey dey hope this team go qualify for world cup. Nonsense.

All they know how to do is to be doing content with that calister girl and her lesbian partner. Fools

Intelligent play is not a one man show, it is a collective play.
Blame the coach

Hmmm it is a pity dat it has come to dis. Without being political I must confess something is fundamentally wrong with NFF and until d people in d glass house are pressure to resign as not to attract FIFA's hammer Nigerian football will continue to languid and languish.

Yes we all can blame d players for d way dey played, but èmi oo, I put every blame on d doorstep of the silly, daft and administratively inept people at d glass house.

Now d heat is on Chelle, he will be use as sacrificial lamb but what about FA with all d grant and money dey received could not hire a better coach? What about our politicians using 99 billion for Hajj but neglecting source of joy-football to rot away-for most Nigerians.

I am not being political but d truth must be told since APC has decided to grab and snatched power 2015 everything in Nigeria has been nosediving.

Yet I was deceived too in 2015 with propaganda.

Haa God helped my dear SE because they are d only team I watch😭

if you like come and beat me or insult me on this my take, i go swear for you….all of you can blame NFF and coach but i will blame the players…if you interview osimhen, going by his rage yesterday after the game he will tell you his team mate are 100% to be blamed…that game was ours yesterday to win
Iwobi ballooning ball inside box 18 anyhow into the crowd
Chukwueze ballooning ball inside box 18 anyhow into the crowd
Ndidi only sweet opportunity inside box 18 could not aim and target at goal
Lookman though was very active but trying to play and score those kinda solo goals he scores for atalanta but failed at it severally
Ekong no fit clear ball or charge a striker off our box 18, till they got a goal…
Super eagles let themselves down….
CHELLE was on point with his substitution, nothing wey anybody wan tell me.
These same players went away to beat Rwanda.
When they win it is obviously Osimhen effort, when they play poor game it is NFF and coach mistake…tufiakwa!!…for Chelle to success all players need to be a fighter like Osimhen.
There was a particular point 3defenders try to all their best to wrestle Osimhen, the guy was fighting back…see this is Africa and thats how everyone on that squad should play…fight aggressively
fight!
fight!
fight!!
If you like invite Uche,Dessers,Onyeka,Orban, if they cant fight aggressively like Osimhen, na NFF las las una go stil blame…
Anyways im entitled to my opinion, we are 1point behind 2nd and 3rd team and 6points behind SA with 4more games to go…..
Until match day 10 before i go comot eyes for world cup….you all can prepare for Afcon oo its your choice, but as for MinFelix, im still playing my WCQ to win games starting from the;
Nig v Rwa(play well and beat them) to SA v Nig(play well and draw them) to Les vs Nig(Play well and beat them) to Nig v Ben(play well and beat) o pari…if Afcon time reach i go start dey prepare for that one

chuks404:
It may be the players oooo
Because even pep cannot do anything with these players

Which players?
Examine the players one after another and tell me they are poor.

Goke7:
How competent are other African FAs? The issue is more with the kind of players we are featuring these days who can’t risk it all for the national team. How many players can risk that diving header by osihmen

.

Sir, seriously Nigeria's own get as e be ooo. I d pics of the conference centre for NRG vs RWD and NRG vs ZIM was trending yesterday and many people were condemning NFF for poor conference centre. Initially I was what is always wrong with Nigerians always against their own it was after d match I realized what people are saying.

NFF sir, if no be say FIFA's hammer I for personally protest say make dem ban, nullify and neutralize everybody wey dey that glass house

what we dont know is that even with Finidi and Jpes starting poorly, if they both had started Osimhen in their games,out of those 4poor games we started we for no loose any one, it would have been like 2wins and 2draws…sadly osimhen was injured in those 4games….Lets just accept it that osimhen is the alpha and omega of this generation of super eagles…
He was the one that dragged us to the final of Afcon
Highest goat scorer 2021 Afcon qualifiers
Highest goal scorer 2023 Afcon qualifiers.
if una like employ guardiola and change NFF to angels in heaven, if osimhen is not in thw squad we will most likely lose or atleast get a draw in our games…infact i support that osimhen should act as coach on the field “blast anybody papa wey dey play nonsense” if lookman suppose pass to him and e no pass the ball, blast the werey papa”
“if boniface dey sluggish for field, osimhen blast him papa”…..e sure me if osimhen miss 100 chances in a match he will redeem himself with a goal or a powerful assist…he has the right to even blast ekong for playing like mumu at the back…

The blame of nff and coaches is always an excuse by some people here for their crap favourite players to continue to get invited. They just want status quo to remain, nonsense and ingredients 😂 players wey no fit dive head ball like osihmen na players be those ones? Make we continue Dey lie to ourselves

yinkeys:
Hats off to Moses Simon
He played really well

How? Person wey go dance tinini tanana every time ball come him side.

I hate this inverted winger shyte

Kog45:
Iwobi Alex was terrible yesterday

Baba, this is a terribly false statement.

Iwobi has become the fall guy everytime we lose matches regardless of how much effort he puts in.

How can you say Iwobi was terrible? Please withdraw this statement

elyte89:
E b like say ppu don move on with this 3points deduction o…🤣🤣🤣🤣,so e no sure be dt …but sincerely fifa suppose punish dem for fielding. A suspended player

It's pointless at the end of the day. The 3 point deduction from Bafana was an exciting prospect when we believed that the boys would follow up their performance against Rwanda and beat Zimbabwe. But if we're struggling to muster a single point against them, then what are we going to the WC for? It's not like we'd even make it all the way to the finals if we qualified. Judging by our current form, we'd most likely crash out of the group stage with just 1 or 2 points at most.

codemaniacs:
home based means players like Osimhen, Awoniyi, Boniface, Onyeka, Onyedika, Nwakali, Sanusi e.t.c..

foreign based means players like Ekong, Iwobi, Bassey, Lookman, Aina, Dessers, Tella, Okoye e.t.c

What kind of forced, baseless distinction is this? Osimhen is home based? Comot here Jare.

toluxe0075:
Home based that cannot even make it out of group stage at CAF champions league and CAF confederations cup. Even With their good league, Argentina and Brazil hardly use home based players for international football.

Once we lose you start hearing this talk about home based.

someone said as it is we cant even qualify for play off, i just dey laugh…teams like senegal and cameroon in that play will qualify as team leaders, leaving those in their in second place stagnant…teams that will qualify for play offs will be the ones with around 15 to 23points, all those Namibia,Comoros,Mozambique im seeing there will all finish from 15th to 23…the only powerful second best teams im seeing will be team like Gabon, cape verde,mozambique and its not still sure for them, they will have some draws and losses…why should i give up on world cup qualifiers if even Lesotho amd Zimbabwe under us is not giving up…
abeg if na only me for Nigeria go mumuly dey follow super eagles till last match day, ehhn leave am like that no wahala…let me be a loyal mumu no p

codemaniacs:
It is the coach that has the power to substitute players...

if the coach would rather be stubborn and leave tired players on the pitch to defend when there are fit players on the bench then it is the coach's fault..

Ekong, Iwobi, Bassey, Lookman, Aina are foreign born players which means they cannot handle 90mins of Nigerian heat or African heat on the field so them playing more than 65 - 70 mins should be an abomination...

Nigerian players with the attitude of Onyeka who can run all over field should be the ones getting invited.

Foreign born players are good but they should not be allowed to play full match especially since they will start the next match.

NFF and most Nigerians don't consider players fatigue and tiredness from previous matches can affect their performances..

Na wa. Whenever we lose, one reads all sorts of outlandish, thoughtless comments which provokes one more than the loss suffered.

mekabuachi:
Keep making excuses for them ooh
Morocco and Egypt with white players.... Wetin we go talk, no be them dey play like say na life and death

Na to open mouth waaaa talk nonsense

Oasis007:


This thread is one of the problems of the Super Eagles. Some of you hype players like Chukwueze as if they were Lionel Messi, raising expectations to unrealistic heights based on false beliefs, only to be disappointed when reality sets in.

To be fair, Chelle seems like a good coach. Tactically, he appears competent enough to take us to the next level. Blaming the NFF? Well, they are always the scapegoats, rather than addressing the overhyped players.

As for the names most of you are mentioning as "missing," they wouldn’t make much of a difference. This is the same way 99% of players were hyped before their invitations and integration into the squad.

Did they play like there was anything at stake? How many clear chances and opportunities were missed? Are we really going to pin all of this on Chelle or the NFF again?

They’ve been tagged as Vibes FC, and they own it with their full chest, yet we somehow want to believe they’re still good enough to represent the Green and White.

It’s time to give local players a chance to shine. Remo Stars or their feeders team, Beyond Limits, would destroy Zimbabwe with ease.

This thread? Problem of the SE? 🤣🤣🤣
Bro, this is really funny.

Make lizard no go dey feel like crocodile oo. So this thread get influence to the extent of being a problem of the SE. I like this

the next thing they don bring press conference picture to abuse Nff, Rwanda wey get fine press conference staging no be 2-0 and 1-1 they play in their last games…..these super eagles need the fight mentality….fuckingly free forget about NFF, the players on the pitch should be able to grind out result….everytime una dey blame NFF, oga sir and madams, NFF and chelle has 0% blame in our poor game yesterday….of everyone cam fight like osimhen we no go remember to blame coach and NFF…..quota system quota system bla bla bla
Shebi one quota system played against Rwanda and we flog them 2-0, yesterday no quota system play but we no fit win…mae una dey play….
fucckinggly blame the players!! and leave the coach and nff….you had all the sweet opportunities to bury that game in first half all of una dey shake and play like ode

mekabuachi:
Ooh interesting so their way games na Morocco Dem dey play an too abi
Just dey play

Leave am. Senegalese FB players nko?

semid4lyfe:
Elder, with all due respect visit an optician for new glasses.

Iwobi played well and delivered a masterclass of a performance yesterday. He did his job and that of Ndidi. He was always dropping deep to collect the ball from the defenders, a job which ordinarily Ndidi ought to have been doing.

Ndidi was the weak link in that midfield due to his poor positional awareness, lack of anticipation, poor passing, ball-carrying & advancing ability.

Removing Iwobi was a wrong call by the coach. Rather, Ndidi ought to have been removed for Alhassan Yusuf or Onyedika.

Pls dead this talk of home-based players. This foreign-based despite their disappointing results, I still believe are better than the home-based players.

No worry, CHAN no too far so we'll come back to ths issue of home-based players again.

I am genuinely shocked that he said Iwobi was terrible yesterday. Even the commentator said that Iwobi covered every blade of grass yesterday.

He played really well but you see Iwobi has become a meme in the minds of Nigerians. Even if he plays well, they will still blame him.

It's awful.

Blueelf:
Sir, till today, it beats me why uche and onyeka were left out

There's no justification at all.

I don't understand why certain elements are he'll bent on imposing their mediocre players on the National Team because of sentiments

Iwobi shouldn't be starting if we had a better option. I haven't seen the hype around that guy and I don't know what he actually contributes to that team. We keep on changing his position to accommodate Jo's strengths when the truth is that the guy is an average midfielder on his best days whose only concern is social media and Snapchat.

Iwobi hyped? Nope. It has been attack upon attack whenever he plays for Nigeria. If we win oo, Iwobi will be blamed.. If we lose, he will still be blamed.

ChrisKels:
With Arokodare already in the pitch, Victor Boniface had no business coming in to replace Osimhen. Chelle should have brought in a hunting dog in Alhassan to chase down every rabbit.

100% that was a tactical blunder by the coach . You brought in a lazy player when you needed to defend

ChrisKels:
Moses Simon failed woefully yesterday. Couldn't make any successful dribble to set up any reasonable chance even though we used his side to attack most of the time.

He killed many attacking moves holding on to the ball doing the same thing over and over again

Mujtahida:
Baba, this is a terribly false statement.

bro if say i be iwobi I go just retire from the national team cus the insults is becoming unbearable

That person that said iwobi was shit ask him to point a player that would hv done better and see the names he will mention

When mediocrity is placed above merit , failure is inevitable. Players like Frank Onyeka and Ndah Olisa supposed to be in the team. This is African football you need ruggedness and stamina . Players like Ekong and Ndidi should be on the reserve bench

Wetin Iwobi no do yesterday? He run, he pass, he defend, he cross.

Abeg you guys criticizing him should point out the wrong thing he did yesterday?

I will not baba,check out his over 80 caps and tell me what Iwobi bring to the table,we are still remembering Henry Nwosu,Austin Okocha and Mikel Obi not cuz of caps but what they did in some matches.....Iwobi I watched against Zimbabwe,haba no no o

Mujtahida:
How? Person wey go dance tinini tanana every time ball come him side.

I miss the days of Osaze and co,

Especially Osaze, cit to the left, cut to the right, send ur marker to the market, and let fly at goal a thunderous shot,

But no na to dance Atilogwu and Awilo combine, chaiii, it is well ooo
