Asamoah Gyan insinuated Osimhen was feigning injury o

Never forget

Gyan never said that nonsense which emanated from FB content creators

I’m so disappointed that you believed this nonsense

chrisooblog:
Man Big Vic played 4 and a half games and still finished as our top goal scorer MONSTER MENTALITY.

More worrisomely why can't we just perform if Osimhen is not around?!

Bruhhhh
I can only pray he is always fit and that he wins the AFCON to cement his legacy.

I think Akor and Tolu will do fine.

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

They had something to play for when they played against the Super Eagles unlike when playing against South Africa..

comodo:
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.

Hold their neck!!

Though I didn't bother to fact check, Thelonecitizen brought it here hence the benefit of doubt.

They should get out

elyte89:
Nope he can’t …go and read my tactical proposal again ;page 114 …ndidi can use d ball more Dan onyeka .

Ndidi is very frustrating. He doesn't score. He missed one glaring chance in the Zimbabwe game.

he didn’t say that boss

charlesemeka85:
the boy is golden. He owned the RB position as if he has been playing in that position for ages

Ebenezer should be brought into that midfield. ASAP

that bro is probably just happy to have escaped poverty. Happy retirement to him.

Mauritania indeed

IronGalaxy:
I would have trembled if it was that Babayaro, Kanu era.. not these ones , these ones strut like peacocks on the field .. 😆

We made so many mistakes that should have put us at the bottom of the group if we were in a group with serious contenders ....but the same people who failed to take advantage of all our blunders think we should fear them at the upcoming Afcon? . What are the giants smoking ?

charlesemeka85:

Ah thanks. Make I go delete my post

charlesemeka85:
their bad belle too much and also their only intention of associating themselves with our football is just for selfish gains

Instead of any of them to coach the super eagles ever again I rather support a mad man to take over the job

I just tire.

forgiveness:
We need to beat them to qualify. No easy team in the playoffs.

Just avoid Cameron.

why avoid them,on current form gabon is better

you said it all bro 🤣🤣

He was absolutely fantastic today.

I have a question. What's is the reason for our obsession with 442 though. Even after trying for several years and matches without any long term success,why do all coaches still stick to it. Is it like an NFf imposed formation or what. I remember the early days of Rohr,he used 433 to great success till he started trying to shoehorn ihenacho into the line up and use 442 and it went down hill. Today we all saw how immediately our game got better immediately we changed to 433 after Onyeka came in. I'm sure next game we will be back to this same 442. Is there something we fans don't know that the technical committee sees or something.

villagereporter:
He substituted Ronaldo, Bebeto and one other prominent players thinking he had won d match.

You were right about the Ronaldo sub but I think that was at about the 83rd to 87th minute.
Rivaldo for Juninho who really disturbed us more that day and Savio for Ronaldo were the subs that day. Taking off Mobi Oparaku and introducing Wilson Oruma was some kind of Master stroke as he already had Okocha on the pitch(2 tens).

Lionessza6:
We will leave after humbling that 9JAMac10, he is the one who turned your football thread into a political debate

both Nigeria and black South Africa are been humbled already..

wyte supremacists are importing terrorists into Nigeria to kill, destroy and destabilize Nigeria and are still collecting 60% of Nigeria's crude oil

while wyte supremacists are importing people from u:kraine, IsraHell and other countries into South Africa to destroy black South Africans politically and economically.. at least terrorists are not killing black South Africans daily and your currency is strong so all you black South Africans have to do is buy and sell from yourselves and you will be okay..

Ejuke or Tella should be permanent back ups to the 3 wingers.

Diavolo:
Who's this olakunle guy. Clearly out of his depth.

Maybe it's the euphoria of making the playoffs but I'm almost 100% confident that we'll be in the USA next year.

5 games to go. Omo!!!


Costa Rica
Bolivia
Jamaica
One from Asia
One from Africa
One other

6 teams to battle out for 2 final world cup slots.

I sha no like that 16 direct slots for Uefa sha.

That is exactly how momentum feels

charlesemeka85:

I pray opposition does not get him injured. He reminds some of us of Prime Jero Shakpoke in the friendlies build up to France 98. Excellent performer in his first 3 or 4matches before Artur Numan of Netherlands injured him in a friendly.

Yes but people here will not admit it...

it is an NFF imposed formation...

same way Onyedika, Ejuke, Tella, Akor Adams, Tolu e.t.c. rarely used to get called up...

CAN NIGERIA QUALIFY FROM THIS?

Nigeria 4-0 Benin. * 6 games. * 14 points. Eric Chelle on a rescue mission

charlesemeka85:
oga I no follow u dey watch back of tv. Even if the game ended 3-0 or even 2-0 the boys played exceptionally well which is a sign that they understand Chelle’s tactical demands now

I watch the game from start to finish so nothing u fit talk wey go mk me think otherwise

Tactically this is Chelle’s best game with the super eagles since he took charge. Not because of the score line but how the boys executed his plans on the pitch.

No worry I go bookmark this 😂

The pitch was impressive
It was really smooth and clean the lines were shinning

It was better than the other games they've played at that stadium

Seems they did something different on it
