Ok i hear you we are watching

Subzero047:
It's 2026 there's nothing like african jam body

daveP:
Reckoning
Since 2018, we've had about 6 tall strikers and none have been able to outscore Alex Iwobi and Troost Ekong for almost a decade.


I think it's time to wrap up rhis Experiment where we feel the height will being us cross and nod vibes of the 90s era. It has never worked. Not even as 2nd or 3rd strikers. The lanky eagle project should be buried and forgotten.

I also don't see Chelle trying to adapt a setup to their strengths either. Cos even with grace given by last 3 coaches, na same same.

Say that most of our tall strikers are not that good except Osimhen and Akor,
don't say that the lanky eagles project should be buried and forgotten, rather to look for more technical ones,is Osimhen not lanky?
Who are those short strikers you think will do better than Osimhen and Akor?
Gift Orban will soon come on board,we will see but every coach will always prefer tall and strong strikers like Halaand and Osimhen.

Gift Orban has been cleared by FIFA to play for Nigeria

Napoleon55:
I have always wondered why we can't have a quality image from any match played in Nigeria.
Are we the worst in media coverage or is it our weather.

We have the same weather with CIV, Mali yet see their coverage. Excellence somehow isn't part of our culture and it isn't because of poverty.

Mali 3 Cape Verde 1
50min played

If this malian team should meet this lack lustre SE, they will sack Chelle

Are you not tired of this lazy talk?

No official statement to that effect

Mali showing CPV that WC appearance means nothing on the continent.

Cape Verde really being dominated. That Mali side is strong naa. See midfielders bikonu. Ange Tia, Sangare, Haidara, Dieng, Doumbia.

Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi made 17 pass entries each into the final third.
More exceptional is Calvin Bassey who played a deeper role.

Calvin Bassey also won all his ground duels.

CPV you mean. That means Mali will beat Argentina o (lol).

Y u dey always focus on midfield Attack and defense nko (na dem be the real assets).

So in your opinion and non-lazy thinking, do you think we deserved that win?
We could not string passes well, our defence was in disarray cuz the MF was off-peak
No show of passion from our players yet all you see is lazy talk
Read my post again bro!

Midfield is the Engine room of any great team

Assembleing world class attackers and defenders but amateur midfielders won't do any team any bit of good

calm down brofootball no be math

We just need tosort out that midfield and we will be fine

Ajayi should not be starting for the super eagles. The way he was easily beaten today on several occasions was disgraceful.

nwanne dash me link na 😭

Shared two links but was automatically banned by the BOT. I was just unbanned few minutes ago.

ChrisKels:
Though missing out on the world cup is already a norm for us, I just have to remind us that if we depend on this midfield and the likes of Simon, we will also not smell the 2030 world cup.


Chelle should prioritise Yah, Ugochukwu, Iorpenda, Iroegbu, Francis Onyeka and Ozoh. Our midfield depth is so shallow and average. Kudos to him for bringing Nwoko on board.

Like I said here the other day, we are going nowhere with this midfield.

Nwabali saved us losing this game yet you guys are busy blaming him for not being able to stop that beautiful header
Which goalie in the world would have saved that header, tell me!

To me he is my man of the match

gentlegiant95:
some bums were arguing with me earlier. We can't achieve anything with that Arrow in goal

Osimhen
Akor
Ilenikhena
Orban (when he comes in)
Awoniyi

Going forward, these 5 strikers could just be it. Any other such as Durosinmi, Tolu, etc are extraneous weight.

Blueelf:
Cc thesupernerd

I don't know how true this is and I don't even know how to feel about thus

But it's good because I don't want to be seeing Arokodare in the Super Eagles. He has always being atrocious

AndSunGorilla:

yes o in Nairaland calculations

Akor has served his term, he's on the downward trend now

Gbam

George Ilenikhena will cook in front of a creative midfield.



Akor Adams SMH

There is no hope for you
SMH
So possession to you translates to good passes
Maybe you no watch the match sha you were told by like minds
And you cannot wrap these things around your head
No need to argue with you sha, it's a waste of time

This wasn't a deserved win? This was the disarray in defence? No show of passion but we came from behind to win? And you won't admit you're making a lazy point?!

You too de talk seh

Only 1 team will qualify in Nigerian group . Hence we must not drop points . Tolu is not for super eagles 😭. The coach should start having back up plan for Ndidi. He did very well but there should be replacement on standby . We wasted several chances . Today was not Lookman day ,I expected the coach to sub him earlier he almost got red card . African qualifiers always awkward- no VAR.

Papi85:

Nwaiwu or Benji should be starting.


Thanks to Usor for the goal but he was poor after that goal. Hopefully, he gets better but he does not look ready to me.

Lol. Midfield is the Corpus Callosum of any team.

When our recruitment team wrap up the processes to bring in Yah, Ozoh (Passport ready), Tim (already indicated interest), and a couple more like Iorpenda, Akarakiri, etc with time, our midfield would be so stacked alongside the likes of Nnadi, Akinsanmiro, Onyedika and more moving forward.
