All his games in the GWG have been top notch but this one vs Gabon saw him show his offensive and defensive wide spectrum of skills.

Can't wait for his return to action.

Lesley Ugochukwu, CM starts for Burnley (19t) vs West Ham (18th) in the EPL.

Tolu Arokodare starts for Wolves (20th) vs Chelsea (5th) in the PL.

Bright Osayi Samuel on the bench for Birmingham vs Leicester.

Joe Aribo starts for Leicester while Anglo Nigerian RB, Olabade Aluko on the bench.

Frank Onyeka's Coventry may make HIS DEBUT off the bench today as Lampard starts him on the bench vs Oxford Utd.

Arthur Okonkwo (GK) vs Femi Azeez (RW) as Wrexham (6th) take on Millwall (5th) in the Championship.

Villa boy, Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba starts for loan club, West Bromwich Albion (22nd) vs Stoke City (13th) in the Championship.

Winger, Abubakar Ghali starts for Sigma Olomouc (7th) in the Czech Liga vs Banik Ostrava (14th).

Dat Fernandez turn and assist didn't help Bassey's cause too, wicked man.

Frank must become a starter o, it would be ridiculous to be a bench warmer in the championship. For Aribo, hoping Leicester can avoid the drop considering their point deduction, all the best as he fights for a career resurgence.

Cuenca was also at fault for 2 of Man Utd's goals.

Lost the aerial battle vs Casemiro for Man U's first.
Lost Cunha who slipped past him to score Man U's second.

I love Marco Silva but his handling of Calvin Bassey is really testing my patience.

Sarsaparilla524:
Following Morocco's defeat in the AFCON final against Senegal, coach Walid Regragui has offered his resignation.

This is shocking!!!!

Morocco are out of their minds to pressure this guy to resign!!!! They think too much of themselves tbh. He is a fantastic coach!!!! They will still rehire him when their eyes clear.

Of course Bassey deserves to be starting, in no time, he would get his rightful place back. Why Liverpool and Man City that needed CB didn't look in Bassey's direction too surprised me.
The AFCON was the excuse used to bench him now, one of the things some African players suffer after AFCON unfortunately.

Afcon 2025 XI vs Euros 2024 XI

Who wins this battle?

It's not even close
That Spanish midfield
Osimhen fit no see ball touch for 90 minutes

It wasn't an error, anyone could be dribbled now. There were other defenders in the box who could also have done better.

Samu created the most chances and he hit the bar with a beautifully struck shot. Best player on the pitch.
