Pls our defenders should not joke with Auba o

baba mi that guy don old. 5 naira he no go see play…

Starboytwo:
I’m predicting a modest 3-0 in favor of the mighty Super Eagle…

Osihmen (2 goals)
lukman (1 goal) make he get small joy abeg.. he no easy for atalanta.

Aubameyang wey be 39 years old, how he wan take score 🤷🏾🤷🏾

aahh no underrate Aubameyang oooo….that guy is clinical in front of goal oo…the 4goals he scored in game against Gambia in banjul were classy goals

Gabon will give us the vibe Equitorial Guinea gave us at the afcon, they will score and we will also score…maybe a 2-1 or 3-1 win for the super eagles

Osimhen isn't in camp yet despite rushing to his flight from Turkey.

I hope all is well. 🤧

I will not be happy with chelle if he benches chukwueze over lookman. Especially if they lose.

MetalJigsaw:
your coach is an addict of 4-4-2 - Lean midfield.. I still never trust that bros.

Chelle is Ass he no sabi ball i been saying it.
We wont be here with a LITTLE hope of WC playoffs if yellow card didnt sideline lookman. Even Me that isnt a coach saw it after few matches that lookman need to sit on bench. But he kept playing him citing APOTY, dwelling on past glory than current form against a very MUST WIN matches (pls which coach does that? )

See ehn A good team will expose chelle tactical inability and S.E will collect like 3 goals.

Starboytwo:
We too dey push unnecessary stuffs in this country…

Hotel wey dem carry us or lodge us at is the least of my worries.

You wan stay 5 star hotel abi you wan win playoffs.

Help me ask our boys o cos I no understand again.

So we've not played one good team in all the 9 games he's been unbeaten so far? Why una just dey like this for this country? Like why bro? Why?

He's ass? Like you don't sound intelligent at all for that statement. Omo! OMO! 🤦🏾‍♂️

U will knw he’s all dis local coach stuff…if u ask him who should take over now, he will tell u eguavoen or sia sia 😄😄


It seems some 9ja fans Dey get dementia;someone took over ur team with just 3points having played 4games,where all hope seems lost and took the team to almost qualifying behind group leaders South Africa 🇿🇦 with just one point behind , yet u call him ass ..ass Ko Furo ni 😊😊😊

The bolded wan kee me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


The thing is annoying really, the ones that are not asses put us in a situation where our chances of qualifying were already less than 12%, person come pick am increase am to 50% and you say he doesn't know "anything"... As how na?

Even me do say it that the man's decision making is not perfect, but he has been learning from mistakes each match and correcting them while going and still didn't lose a game while doing so, people no sabi ball ni?

Truidstarr:
Sentiments aside, Okoye supposed man the post for the playoffs.

May sound like going back and forth from me but barring attitude issues, NWABALI SHOULD STILL MAN THE POST.

Meliforme:
if Eric Chelle intends to implement 4-4-2, Ejuke and Chukwueze should start on the left and on the right respectively
If Eric Chelle intends to implement 4-3-3, then Moses Simon and Lookman should start.

In a 4-4-2, you need wingers who can also slot in as midfielders. who: have good control of the ball, can progress the ball, can make good passes of the ball and can provide good defensive cover.
In the qualities mentioned above, Ejuke, Chukwueze and Iwobi are the top picks.

Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman are arguably our most lethal wingers, they are most lethal when played in the final phases of an attack. They do not have the level of control of the ball when compared to Ejuke, Iwobi and Chukwueze, to be fully involved in a patient build up to goal.
This is very easy to see and one of the reasons why we should not prioritise possession based football if we are to win a game.

If we are to utilise 4-3-3, Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman must start, supported by three midfielders who should be creative enough to know when to release the ball to them to finish the move or assist in finishing the move.

Whichever formation Lookman should be on the bench going by what he has gone through emotionally and somewhat form-wise at his club.

asin eeehhhnnn some person’s here sound so so so d^mb like F🤣🤣…..i saw that comment and shook my head….
even if for anything atleast respect the coach that took “a not-too-serious” super eagles outfit to Russia and gave them a run for their money…. if we beat Gabon dey will shift attention to the next one, making those ones look like Germany and Brazil put together….

wait first oo coacht that took over main super eagles since February this year and this is November oo we are yet to lose a match oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
His only disappointing result was against Zimbabwe ooooooo, cos with Osimhen in that game we couldn’t still beat them

Meliforme:
If we are using 4-4-2, Ademola Lookman should pair Victor Osimhen. This is the best combo from my perspective and understanding of the players in camp. Another good combination is Alex lwobi and Victor Osimhen.

Alhassan Yusuf should pair Wilfred Ndidi in the middle.

Akor and Osimhen pairing has come to stay.

Queenjazz, Like I foretold the outcome of the Nigeria v Benin Match I will tell the outcome of the Nigeria v Gabon Match: NIGERIA WILL SCORE A MINIMUM OF 3 GOALS THAT NEITHER VAR NOR REFEREES CAN OVERTURN BUT GABON WILL NOT MATCH OR OUTSCORE NIGERIA'S 3 GOALS.

elyte89:
Wetin happen ..osimhen wey talk say him wan catch him flight ✈️ Neva reach camp ?

Unbeaten against who.. ?
U no even get shame.
Against teams that.. egypt morrocco Cameroun senegal Ivorycoast will flog mercilessly.

CHELL IS ASS Yall hate the truth...just that a Low IQ people wont notice it. But soon when things become simpler they will notice.

I agree with the spirit of your post that the NFF needs to be professional and responsible in carrying out their duties of logistics planning and organization.

That said I really have to question the mentality of Iwobi that he's more concerned about creature comforts than about grabbing the sole WC ticket. What is my business about the view from my hotel window when a do or die WC qualifying match is around the corner?

There's time for everything and now is the time to focus on beating Gabon not whether hotel is 1 or 5 star.

The players are being owed arrears of bonuses but they have decided to focus on what is most important to avoid unnecessary distractions which should also be for this hotel issue IMHO.

[quote author=lovewins post=137422705]It's no news that the NFF is a useless organisation, but you sometimes expect that they will pretend to care when it matters, but it appears that's expecting too much of them.

We have a critical playoff to prosecute and their only job is to ensure that players are as catered for as possible so all their concentration is to ensure victory this week. Why did they then lodge players in this dump? Iwobi reportedly posted where they are lodged and I am short of words. How do you even lodge your players here?

solonnachi:
My brother. I wonder oooo. Is he still on the way?

Abi na mind games? Cos how is it that since on Sunday Osimhen never reach camp?

QueenJazz:
So your logic is: they are worth a lot, therefore they shouldn't focus on the actual reason they're there?

Oga this is not a luxury retreat! We didn't come here for jokes. It's not a permanent residence. Everyone involved has confirmed that there are training facilities on ground and the accomodation is close to the facility and the stadium! Wetin u come dey find again?!?

So if they had given them to one they give to the Super Falcons for their game in the last WAFCON finals, what would you have done? Gone home?

No wahala. Keep worrying about the hotel. The playoffs is not important. You hear?! It's not important at all. Mtcheww

Is it your logic or your prayers that took them there in the first place ??

It’s their skill and mental strength it has nothing to do with you

Missing

Maduka Okoye
Bruno Onyemaechi
Zaidu Sanusi
Frank Onyeka
Yusuf Alhassan
Victor Osimhen

They should be given until midnight to report to camp. Anyone who comes in after the deadline should be sent back to his club!

We cannot compromise on discipline. The stakes are simply too high!

but if you send the bolded home, my hand no dey der ooo🤣🤣🔥

but wait wait first, why is Okoye not in camp, no b who we dey expect make he challenge Nwabali b that…he’s not been in the team since after our russia friendly, he should be early to camp to give coaches the needed confidence everyone wanna see

I don't entirely disagree with this take knowing what's at stake, my issue really is that we have normalized abnormalities and make excuses for incompetence.

The pressure on the players is already heightened, the only job the FA has is to make sure they provide the best ambience possible that will make prosecuting these all important game easier for them. A large part of success in football is mental and psychological, so making sure the players psyche is in the best possible state is part of the duties of the NFF. What they see and hear matters. Iwobi opening is window to that sight is concerning. Convenience at this point isn't luxury.

Do you know the hotel the NFF booked is a budget hotel? It is ranked 71 of 84 How come other teams who are playing in the same city as us got better hotels for their teams? Attached are pictures of hotels Gabon and DR Congo are staying for context.

Again I understand our players need to wade off whatever difficulties come their way the next few days and get the all important task of qualifying for the continental playoff done. It's however a systemic problem that the football federation continuously makes an already difficult task more challenging

If it has nothing to do with me, then wetin concern you with what I've been saying about the accomodation? Make it make sense. By your logic, you and everyone else here should also stop talking about the players since it's not YOUR skill either. In fact let's close the thread lol.

Yes, skill and mental strength is important, and water is wet. Thanks for the reminder.

you guys shouting 3-0 up and down sounds funny to me, is it that you don't know the magnitude of the game or what??

This game is likely a 1:0 or 2:1 in favour of Nigeria..
the game would be too dicey for a 3:0 score line ..
All in all I wish us the very best.
