I cried myself hoarse seeing Chelle deploy Aina at LB in the matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

I don't know whether I should swear for Chelle.
Person say he dey technically astute to dey play either side, na him Nuno Espirito no dey gamble that rubbish?

Someone is literally one of the top "right-backs" in the EPL and person say make them astutically play am for left when we have multiple good natural left-backs available.

Chelle should just play him on his natural position abeg.

Based on recent performances, Chelle's formation and the friendly matches we played in June. This is the best lineup I feel we can use, and also looks like what Chelle will use.

Igoh Ogbu sub for Ekong
Dele-Bashiru sub for Alex Iwobi
Lookman and Arokodare sub for Uche and Osimhen (if he has scored) [respectively]
Bruno Onyemaechi sub for Felix Agu

Etc.

The only thing I’d change is switch Onyeka with Onyedika
Frank the Tank secures our back 4 better
Allow Onyedika some freedom to go forward

Gift Orban, not even on the bench.

Now that lukaku is injured, Napoli must regret selling osimhen,
These european teams dont know what they lost with osimhen. Now that isak is no longer interested in playing for them, osimhen would have being a good alternative. if osimhen was in newcastle they can easily call isaks bluff out cause they have a replacement. Osimhen is underrated. Even me used to underate him. The turkish people seem to rate and understand him better. Liverpool might even still need him as the season gets harder. Even real madrid. Osihmen is even better at contributing to defence than most strikers. He is good at team work tracking back to mark. He can even play as a winger. These top 5 league people made a mistake by refusing so spend on him. Time will tell.
His football age has him at 27 by December. Time will tell, time will tell, but time is running out.

Galatasaray’s Barıs Alper Yılmaz has joined the likes of Isak, Lookman, and Wissa in boycotting training to push for a transfer move. A Saudi club, NEOM has made a bid, but Galatasaray aint interested in selling

Based on what?
He is the most technical Super Eagles player.

Ejuke's improvement is dazzling, I mean so overwhelming.

Remember i was the first to talk about Maduka Okoye's massive improvement.
I was heavily criticised, i was asked how many matches of him have i seen of recent.
I was very angry (even though I shouldn't be), but we see what we see.

Worried about Onyeka's bench role. If Brentford wouldn't start him, they could let him go back to Germany now. I just like the guy though shy but obviously a good person.

$10m annual salary and four years contract was offered, which is huge and tempting for the player. Galatasaray not only rejected the $35m bid submitted, but also stated outrightly that they have no plans to sell.

First focus to beat Rwanda in uyo, the following players if fielded must be careful, not to miss the next game against South african

-Bassey on Yellow Card vs Zimbabwe(✅on the current provisional list)

-Sadiq Umar on Yellow card vs Zimbabwe(✅on the current provisional list and may be dropped)

Osayi Samuel on yellow card vs SA(✅ on the current provisional list)

Iwobi on yellow card vs Rwanda(✅ on the current provisional list)

Tolu on Yellow card vs Rwanda (✅ on the current provisional list)

Ndidi on yellow card vs Rwanda(✅ on the current provisional list)

at this crucial deciding stages…no room for mistakes of fielding ineligible player……
I still get strong faith🔥…….in football anything can happen…
-4matches to play
-4surprises to be seen
-4shocking match day results to be witnessed across our group

My Prediction for MD 7
Nigeria v Rwanda (9ja to scrap a win)
Lesotho v SA(SA to win)
Ben v Zim (Draw match)

new group look after MD 7
SA 16pts
Nig 10pts
Ben 9pts
Rwa 8pts
Les 6pts
Zim 5pts

Then MD 8 cracker vs SA……..to b continued

Bring out your Calculators
4 WCQ Scenarios here for Maximum possible points, of course after SA gets 3 point's deduction.

1. Nigeria loses to South Africa, wins remaining 3 games
2. Nigeria loses to South Africa, wins 3 games, South Africa loses 1 of 3 remaining matches
3. Nigeria draws South Africa, wins other 3 games; South Africa loses 1 of other 3 matches
4. Nigeria wins all 4 remaining games including vs South Africa

As it stands, any coach who cannot win the last 4 games with the calibre of players we have, we blame that coach and coaches before him.
Qualification is possible and IN OUR HANDS. For some of the players, they may never play in a WC if we don't qualify for this. It should be do or die. Any player like Boniface should not be in the set up. Any sign of unseriousness should be weeded out of this team. THE PLAYERS/TEAM NEED TO BE 100% PSYCHOLOGICALLY AT THIS POINT. Any thing short of this, we are done

The WCQ is up to the players, not even to the coach. Nigerians should manage their expectations wella before people will start blaming Akpabio and Tinubu. Na Chelle I pity pass, I hope he survives the fire he is about to enter!
