Absence of lookman is a huge boost. No selfish play or holding up the play for too long. Let him start from the bench next time please.

Even before this game, I had identified that playing Simon and Lookman at the same time was a problem. Chelle needs to start benching one of them and when on the pitch they play directly from the wings and not Lookman always trying to play through the middle.

As for Olusegun he has no business in this team. It is above his pay grade.

Lionessza6:
LMAO. Atleast you black Naijas hold the economy with 90% extreme poverty , underdevelopment, and majority of youth that dream of escaping from the day they are conceived .

We the slaves of Africa envy una wella

They talk without self-awareness, none whatsoever

I was reading somewhere and apparently Nigeria has the owest life expectancy in the world, worse than war-torn countries and people are still dying over curable diseases like Malaria over there but people are fixated about who runs the SAs economy, South African economy is run by South Africans

Mujtahida:
We never gel nada! We need someone in that midfield to pull the strings. We play too much through the sides. I call it sides because we really don't have wing play.

If we meet a good side, all they need to do is double up on our wingers and they effectively cut off supply to the attackers..
That's why I said Benin were poor..

We can't play this way at the playoffs..
We need our midfield to work

charlesemeka85:
Samu was too good today

I bliv chukwueze die i told some1 in this thread yesterday that "a confident Chukwueze is unplayable and i pray he gets his confidence tomorro"
I kno chukwueze i watched in Villarreal. Ac milan playin pattern messed up his confidence.
Watch out for him in fulham

Mujtahida:
Na real swegbe. Good thing is that he will never be invited again

Don't be surprised when Chelle invites him in November.

nff don hear, dem go contact u to buy tools to fix our midfield

Engineer 🤣🤣🤣🤣

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Its not being unfair lookman tends to hold ball too much to score his own gaols which chukwueze gets the ball and looks for osimhen.

Chukwueze played with same simon and performed while lookman played with him 3 times and didnt show up.

But in all lookman is better than simon sha.
He is a bit selfish thats his problem

The issue is we are using lookman in a wrong position. Play him as a striker besides oshimen not on the wings or on the right and he will turn up

. If South Africa had no white population they would be worse that Sudan and Somalia . Sexual assault capital of the world.

Poor souls
We understand how it feels ....you are hopeless about every damn thing about your own nation and are now trying to project your sense of hopelessness and racial inferiority complex on to us 🤧😪😭. The wicked gods of football did this one .....I blame them for this

Meliforme:
Benin did not control anything.
Our conservativeness was intentional.
Was this really difficult to see?

Did you see me say Benin controlled the game?
I have been saying Benin were poor
We should be thanking God for that first goal..
That changed everything for both teams

9JAMac10:

Black South Africans have always been organized boss, even Bantustans under Apartheid were far more organized than many African independent states eg.. Bophutstswana under Lucas Mangope.. so the notion that we "would have been worse than so and so" is borne out of Obvious jealousy nothing else..

And keep on singing the "white man" song, have you seen Addis Ababa lately ?

Cocony:
I am very much around Queenjazz. I must state an obvious observation with the moderators of this Sports section: LEARN TO CENSOR WRONG INFORMATION AND NOT SOMEONE THAT STATED WHAT IS RIGHT. SECONDLY , DO NOT GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A PREFERENCE FOR A PARTICULAR SET OR TRIBE TO BE HEARD MAKING CORRECT ANALYSIS
THIRDLY, KNOW THAT TWITTER IS AVAILABLE. AND AN ABOUT TO BE LAUNCHED SOCIAL MEDIA APP CALLED IN NIGERIA SO BE HONEST IN YOUR ACTIVITIES AS MODERATORS(AS I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND YOUR SHAMELESS RATIONALE FOR PUTTING SOME
MINUTES BAN ON ME.)

Everything you posted is false, defamatory, and I am hurt by it.

You were banned by the Spambot AI which does not discriminate against anyone. (See the screenshot below)

I do not have any favourites here, and familiarity and ethnicity has never been a consideration for me in moderating this section.

Also, NL is a free for all forum and no one has a monopoly of knowledge and is awarded 🏆 for best analysis. You post, I post, we debate and we come to a better understanding, and thats what makes the forum interesting .

I know it hurts to be banned but pls chill, and take it easy.

9JAMac10:
you really trust these set of players to do both. God forbid what if something happens to Osimhen. Please I take World Cup qualification over winning the Afcon

Well, the team is growing
They are getting used to Chelle's system and they are winning games..
We are actually on an unbeaten run right now..
The team will only get better
If we play to our strengths, I don't see why we can't win the AFCON and make it to the world Cup as well

Cocony:
It is not confirmed yet. The outcome of DR Congo game is a factor first followed by October 2025 FIFA RANKINGS which will determine who plays who.
That is the correct basis for the playoffs from CAF perspective.
From the look of things if we hopefully qualify from the CAF ZONE, the main threats will be the Asian and South American
Representatives.

I don't understand.

What is the criteria before the fifa rankings

It's enough. Congrats on your qualification. Please post no more so we can read meaningful comments.
Go to Twitter: there you'll meet your comrade. Here for niaja football

Goke7:
I once mentioned this, he needs serious therapy

It's clear now

Gernot Rohr in his press conference after today's match said: I'll support Nigeria in the playoffs and eventually in the World Cup. 😊

mank1234:
Oh! You're back to say thank you.

You guys should represent Africa well. At the world stage, we will always support any African team.

LMAO. I was raised right. I always say my thank yous to my benefactors .

And thanks again for the well-wishes. We will try our best,and hopefully you'll join us too

Very annoying. If it's other teams now they turn to prime Onana.

Can't tell you how annoying it was seeing that yeye Rwandan goalkeeper making worldie saves against us too.

Odunayaw:
When e reach Nigeria's turn they always become Buffon

I just pray we catch SA for Afcon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Semid4lyfe, can you be gracious to point out what I posted openly that led to the ban by the Supposed self operating bot?
Secondly, kindly point out what I said that was false and defamatory?

We will leave after humbling that 9JAMac10, he is the one who turned your football thread into a political debate

Straight and simple

ChrisKels:

That man stubborn but that Olakunle is a real flop. I even lack words to describe how atrocious he was. Someone said he's out of his depths. And that's the truth

charlesemeka85:
they must be a reason why handlers of the national team prefers ndidi

No be everything we fans dey see

Dem don swear for Ndidi sha. He can never score. Never!

COOL10:

Gentleman and sweet grandpa. One cannot hate him

LMAO. Concentrate on the play-offs now....that needs more of your focus and energy....one step at a time bro.....

Mujtahida:
I don't like naija peeps. How can we not see that we have a gem in our hands, a warrior of a man, a beast who deserves not just praise but adulation.

To have the hopes of the whole nation rest on his shoulders and still delivered, is incredible. Osimhen is the man!!!

Yet some say he is not as good as we say he is. Reason no big club came for him in the summer and he ended up in the Hausa League. Many of them are still here swallowing the bitter pie that Seriki came to the party and delivered a masterclass.

Is Eric chelle the right man for the job?

chrisooblog:

I watched one of the goals SA scored, omoo it's a gang up of GKs to frustrate us walahi

TheLoneCitizen:
I don't understand.

What is the criteria before the fifa rankings

Of the eventual 4 second best teams, 1st by the October Ranking vs 4th by same ranking and the other game is 2nd by the October Ranking vs 3rd by same ranking. Penalties to be played in the eventuality of a draw. Then the winners of both games square up to get the right to represent CAF in the INTER-CONFEDERATION PLAYOFFS OF 6TEAMS.
