Hehehe.....me sef still dey observe am with corner eyes.

Watched him in Getafe, and he doesn't strike me as a technical player. I see him as a battler, and workaholic kinda player who covers a lot of ground, is difficult to dislodge off the ball and gets into the box to contribute a fair share of goals.

But his meteoric rise from playing amateur football in Owerri in 2022 to the Spanish La Liga/Premiership in just 2/3 years suggests he's got something. I mean, all the talent scouts and managers cannot be blind.

And at the apex level, clubs typically have dedicated scouting departments with staff watching dozens of tapes and analysing player data before making a buying decision.

Granted he's had limited appearances in the Super Eagles but his cameos have been average at best if not subpar.
Chrisantus is a very good player, he is still very young and has a lot to learn via technical abilities but trust me he is a natural baller with lots of enthusiasm like Osimhen...

Give him some time and see wonders
I won't introduce him as a sub when you need a goal rather when you need to intimidate opponents midfield and stress them more

Honestly, I'm not sure Chrisantus himself knows.

When I first got to know about him, he was hyped as a Rodri regen then he moved to Getafe where he was turned into a forward.

He looks energetic and is difficult to shake off the ball but I'm yet to see where his qualities will fill in the midfield.

Mujtahida:
Whats his position? I know he's a midfielder but is he CAM or a DM or box to box midfielder?

Very spot on observations.

Need to watch him a couple more times before coming to an absolute conclusion.

This supersport people are not serious. I understand their happiness at south africa's qualification but you cant call a show a review of the world cup qualifiers and half the air time is just to talk about south africa. Couldnt even invite non south african guests to talk on the show. way to know they have been starving for moments like this. They cant even hide the anti nigerian bias.

Boniface's body language is not needed in this team. He's too laid back, too unserious. This is a problem we are dealing with in the team as a whole.
And I believe the issue has been solved a little bit, right from the time we drew Zimbabwe the team became serious no unusual paparazzi pictures and videos they normally do in camp, like Iwobi eats ewedu Ihenacho hits Musa and start trending with stupid things which will divert your attention and you have important matches.

Answer the question did you lie on the bold? Yes or No.

forgiveness:
We should not forget Osimhen struggled to score in the first 5 matches he played but was still given chances upon chances before he picked up.

How many goals did he score in AFCON? He scored once and assisted 3 times.

The problem with Nigeria is, once you are a fan favorite, no matter what you play, you will still be given chances upon chances.

Awoniyi didn't enjoy the grace Osimhen enjoyed when he was inform.

For Osimhen, the patient eventually paid.
You are being delusional. Only you. Stop dragging others into this disgraceful act of yours.

Osimhen scored 1 goal and had 3 assists in the last AFCON not Awoniyi.

Your eyes dey see wetin nobody write. Clear your eyes, please.

Osimhen only assisted once, he won two penalties so I doubt this sneaky way you're trying to wiggle your way out of this.

I am just watching a clip of Nwabili attitude in this our last match.

I am sorry, that look more like attempt to match fixing than trauma.

Something is normal

Uche can function well if you have a highly intelligent DM and a very Creative AM Then he can chase down every ball in the midfield and make take ons

If we play with determination and purposefulness, we will win our matches and qualify.

Who knows this might turn out to be our best world cup if we qualify.

In 1992 Euro, Denmark did not qualify for the tourney. One team pulled out and Denmark replaced them. Denmark went ahead and won the Euros.

Like someone said here few nights ago, Boniface is just happy that he escaped poverty and to me thats the perfect explanation of his attitude and shenanigans towards the national team

He lacks that hunger and ambition to function even as a perfect deputy to Osimhen.

Osimhen's best partner is still Lookman
Only when it serves Lookman so long as Lookman is the one scoring. I don't recall Lookman giving Osimhen an assist

Hey some footballers no matter how talented are not meant for national team football.

If Boniface is just content to play club football and make cool money I won't begrudge him considering the terrible injuries he has had in his career.
