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
We be get coach wey dey qualify with 2 games to spare.

Onyeka does not secure the back 4 better

yinkeys:
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

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.
And then that his diamond formation. He should learn to be flexible with it oo. The players are not made for a system rather the system should be made for the players

He is a very good player even before the massive leap.

He will get game time.
I pray for his fitness.

The WCQ is up to the players and the coach.

Players do not make the selections.
Players do not determine the tactics
Players do not determine the kind and pattern of drills.

Which calibre of players do you have?

We are on the verge of missing out on back to back WC yet some of you guys won't get tired of overexaggerations.
They need to achieve something as a team before u can resume their hypes.

The 90s/2000s Eagles qualified us for WC three times in row and never misses AFCON.

⚠️ AC Milan director Igli Tare: “We are checking Victor Boniface medical. His football skills are excellent but we need to take the right decision”.

“We will make final decision soon on his medical also with our coach Max Allegri”.

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
Nawa.

My head hurts just reading this lol.

I have told you before. Today, the defenders aare faster, more skillful, more brilliant, better passers. Defenders and defensive midfielders are more tactically sound than before. So you are not getting Zidane, Recoba, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo skipping and dancing over players like before.

So the old players can say it is boring but they know they are not fitter, tactical, faster than players today.

That I don't enjoy football they say is that I don't enjoy seeing good players run circles around poor players.

Finito.

Philosopher1979:
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.
Everything you have said is wishful thinking 🤔 IF

IF is a very big word , Turkish league is a retirement lower quality league.

The term natural is ambiguous implying better the way you use it.

Aina has played as left back as well as in the midfield in the EPL for Nottingham forest.

Zaidu ,Bruno, etc maybe natural left footers but Aina is still way better than them even on the left . Below Aina playing left back for Forest against yes, Manchester City.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsvv9dHNV_8?si=ycZzboFMirnaNZEW

Below Aina beating Walker for pace in the EPL.

Finally Left footed shot and goal 🥅 against West Ham.

And you are saying natural position 🤔 incidentally Nuno played Aina as a left back against Manchester City, therefore according to you Nuno is rubbish.

Oya oya you don catch me.

Aina is better and best on the right than the left tho. You're just saying he's better than everyone we have on the left, I know you'll still say he's better than everyone on the right, so should he be divided in two? That's the point.

The coach should try and reward (train) them with positive and negative treatments or at most choose the players that will conduct themselves properly.
