He could bring competition too if he scores regularly before December. Same with Awóníyì. Anything can happen.
I believe orban is made for African games …to me he would perform very well against African teams with his style of play

It’s an unfortunate assist that became fortunate

But jokes apart Boniface should just focus on his game and he will come good
I feel for him. I couldn't even bring myself to watch his brief interview with Oma where he said he's been unlucky with the national team. I really do wish him all the best.

Chelle no rate Uche.
Last time he didn't invite him. It took injury to a player for him to invite Uche. But that our midfield is just too lean. We should be having at least 7 midfielders.

Eric Chelle must use this lineup agaisnt Gabon for Solidity. When Ajayi returns he replaces Awaziem.

Second half bring in Moses Simon and Frank Onyeka to shore up the team. And may be Akor for Lookman in the dying minutes
iffa hear say Moses no start grin

Hmm 🤔. I am wondering if Olakunle Segun deserved to be in the list ahead of Uche and Dele Bashiru

God don answer Meliforme prayer oo. The ball is in Ejuke's court now. That's how COOL10 prayed for Cyril Dessers. He got the chance and blew it.

sourceless post
everyone waiting for list like say their input is needed grin
let the coach do as he deems best patapata we lose and come home to prep for another time
Source is the Super Eagles verified X handle. So its genuine.

Again. midfield is too lean with only 5 midfielders - Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyeka, Onyedika, Alhassan. 7 midfielders is the ideal number.

Maybe Akinsanmiro was initially on the list and the injury last night necessitated his removal but still, he ought to have been replaced by another midfielder. Chrisantus Uche, Anthony Dennis of Goztepe and David Moses of Slavia Prague are the obvious choices.

8 forwards is excessive. At least one of the spots should have gone to the midfield.

Happy with the inclusion of Chidera Ejuke. He gives us options as he can play on the right or as in inverted winger on the left.

Olakunle Olusegun has done nothing both at clubside and the National team to warrant being in the squad. The fact his name is always last in the squad list when it is released speaks volume. His spot should have gone to a midfielder.

All in all, it's not a bad list but it could have been much better and balanced with more midfield options cause that's the engine room of a team, and where play is dictated, and battles are won and lost in matches.

Please Chelle, don't start Osayi at right back oo. Instead start Awaziem oo. Benjamin as RFB partnering Bassey.

Unpopular opinion here, but I'd say he's more deserving than Olusegun for instance. My memory could be compromised here so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I can recall him putting up a strong showing at the last AFCON in the group stages before he got injured.

Compare this to Olusegun who was bang average in his first outing.

I can't forget his jump before that 4th goal against Benin. The guy ''long" ehhhh. But sincerely I don't see what Chelle sees in that guy.

Nice to see Childera Ejuke on the list.

Ejuke is one of those players who can operate as a CAM, with his take-ons and abilities in one vs one situations.

Top quality addition.Hope we get to see him play.

Wait ooo. How is that an assist? He tried a sangalo and the ball went up. A team mate then scored.

I know an assist comes from the last touch from a team mate before a goal but I'm scratching my head at this one.
That's how sir 😂😏

He's gradually coming back 😁

Ademola Lookman really battling emotional war with Atalanta, as he deletes every post regarding his club on instagram….omo no wonder he is not performing at all, omo no b to injure physically oo, just don’t pray your fave player is not injured emotionally, it will show on the pitch oo….see i will suggest he still come from the bench against Gabon and let Chukwu/Simon start abeg….Lookman is not psychologically sound for now

[quote author=Mujtahida post=137396023]I will keep talking about Osimhen aerial ball control. His ability to use his head and chest to control the ball in tight spaces spaces is amazing. He must go to the world cup, anyhow, anyhow. Take a look at this.
for some people strikers if them attempt am.
