Why is chukwueze not on the list but iwobi is? The midfield is not encouraging. I don't get it if nigeria have so much strikers like this then why didn't he invite them since? Why putting all the load on oshimen? I won't lie we need a sound coach.
Why is it that when nigeria sacks there foreign coach's they do well in other countries?

Sometimes you wish government can interfer in those thieves affairs.

Ahmed Musa is missing
Mikel obi is missing. This our coach needs to be sacked.

The midfield lacks creativity

That WC playoff match against the DRC made me lose interest in the super eagles.

They played like chickens as though they had nothing to lose, whereas the Congolese played their hearts out like mad men.

The only compensation for missing the WC ticket is winning the nations cup, but can they win it??

Hmm...Alex Iwobi again. A case of over before it has even started.
Its obvious you dont watch football,Iwobi that is about our most inform midfielder,delivering everyday for Fulham and also doing well with the national side.

They will grace the tournament for sure but will probably be among the first set of Nations to be knocked out.

The Eagles are a team riddled with far below average players except of course VO.

So for your own peace of mind do not give them much interest as nothing much is expected from them.

Which other player should be there but isn't? This is a provisional squad na
Cmanforall:
This man is getting money from some of these players

Some of these players are lobbying to play, yet at the end they behave as though they are doing Nigerians some favour to play for the Super Eagles

What can I say. Rinse and repeat.
I don't think the technical department is functional.
If they were the world cup qualifier post mortem should have led to a massive cull with Iwobi first on the chopping block.
I swear. It is so obvious . He plays as if he is just observing other players on the pitch and coaching them , he doesn't play as if he is part of the team at all. Anyway this is just the provisional list, let's wait and see who makes the final list
Re: AFCON 2025: Chelle Releases Super Eagles’ Provisional Squad by onatisi(m): 8:06am On Dec 03, 2025
Iwobi and that arokodare has no business even been near the team bus talk was of making provisional list

That world cup elimination really spoiled my mind. I don't actually have interest in this nation cup like that now.
You're not alone bro. We couldn't qualify even with a second chance from playoffs

We have no team, average coach, no NFF. Shame.

I agree wit you 100%. I've this mindset too several times but, amongst the core home based team, we can blend them wit some of these foreigner players who are committed and hungry for success for the national team. Players like Osimhen, Sanusi Zaidu..and maybe few other

Nigeria should build home based humble, intelligent and goal driven players... All our international footballers can't build a formidable team anymore, they are not compatible.....

All of them na Oga so dem dey do wetin dem like....


We need a better and formidable home based players who will always practice together and watch how they do the magic...

Don't say what you don't know
I say what I know.
Guess you don’t know any of the Super Eagles players personally.
At least I know Keshi have some players who didn’t have ‘connection’ or money to lobby opportunity to play for the super Eagles.
Forget what you are seeing on the media, it is he who’s given chance to play that you’d see. Most of this multimillionaires lobby for spots all, especially when they are not in their prime in their respective clubs. They use Super Eagles to come to limelight to ensure better transfer opportunities.
Nwahiri organised closed matches between some ‘unknown’ players and those invited, except Mikel and few others who already have guaranteed spot.
That’s wheat this manager should do. It doesn’t matter if the ‘unknown’ player plays in Nigeria or even in other African countries. Nigeria needs quality and patriotic players, not proud players who already know they are richer than the manager.

Agreed.

And I won’t expect these new Homebase’s to win trophy on their first outing, but let then form a team that in the next 2 years, they will be like Arsenal of today 😁

Paul who....I just laugh.
His sojourn through Belgium to England and now Turkey shows where his performance ceiling is at. Certainly not at the title winning levels.
For na he is better than Osimhen

Check the goal chart

He deserves a chance
Re: AFCON 2025: Chelle Releases Super Eagles’ Provisional Squad by protonz(m): 10:16am On Dec 03, 2025

I thought as much, because I know it's only injury that can prevent that dude from being on that list.
F*ck!

This is not a good sign @ all.

Iwobi may have his flaws, even I always drag him too. But let's be honest, Iwobi is the best midfielder in this present squad.

It is the entire team that needs tactical overhauling not solely Iwobi. I can only hope the coaching crew and NFF get it right someday and sometime soon.
