Ekong that is firing all cylinders into his own post, who dey question am ?
Make una leave that thing.
Being funny and posting memes online doesn't mean he isn't a good footballer

Life happens to the best of us ..so make una dead that narrative say social media make am unserious

QueenJazz:
Lol. Majority of African Twitter is rooting for Gabon against Nigeria in the upcoming playoffs because of the Burkina Faso situation. This is hilarious, but it also shows you how easy it is for people to be dishonest and argue out of ignorance with all confidence.

I can understand getting upset that the rules didn't favor you, but trying to make it come across like it was Nigeria's fault is where these bumbling clowns lose me.

Elock1:
According to una logic
Iwobi dropping music steady and Ekong having a vlog is unserious top.

If talent dey body, e dey body
Na injury be he issue .

NIGHTMARE0O7:
onuachu stat is still far better in clubside currently.
But osi cant be replaced nw sha

ChrisKels:
Onuachu is outscoring Osimhen in the same league and no one is moved. Even MkpuOgaliga(Idenna) isn't complaining.

Imagine, if the name wasn't Onuachu but Awoniyi, one tribal bigot would have been here displaying his madness.

South Africa’s Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie on Nigeria going to the playoffs

“I heard you earlier saying that we (South Africa) will also root for Nigeria,” McKenzie said in an interview shared on X by South African journalist Robert Marawa.

“I want to make it very clear: I wish for them not to qualify. I just want to make that one clear. They tried… I knew what they did behind the scenes. I want them to lose.

“Nigeria must not go to the World Cup. Another African country must go.”

Thank you Mujtahida for making me see this video.
Sunday Oliseh's submissions reveal a sound tactical depth.

I quite agree with him on the notion that we should stick to a conservative approach for the time being.

In my opinion, we should stick to a conservative approach for the following reasons:

Our composition of play does not allow for a quick recovery following a counter attack.
This is down to coaching, and it is an issue that can be corrected.

The absence of genuine creative midfielders.
We need at least two creative midfielders who are also good at winning back possession, to make something out of a possession style of play
We have shown that we can dominate possession, if we choose to, but the absence of a creative midfield has made us easy to nulify. We have wingers that can create, but no genuine creator operating mid field. Iwobi's EPL exploits has come from the wings. How many chances has he created for S.E players whenever he is operating through the middle.

It took me some time to realise that Iwobi is not yet a genuine midfield profile. If he must operate mid field, he needs at least two supporting midfielders with him operating a very advanced role.

We need midfielders who cannot only win possession, but can hold the ball, dribble their way through tight spaces, deliver accurate passes and create chances.
I can only see two midfielders with those abilities: Ebenezer Akinsanmiro and Kelechi Nwakali

Honestly, I will pick Ebenezer Akinsanmiro above any midfielder in S.E as things stands because of my studies of him. He ticks every box and much more.

Playing without a creative midfield makes our players overwork, making these players injury prone

We should all throw our support around Eric Chelle as Oliseh has advised and hope for the best.


I will stop here

jihday:
who are the those ahead of him?

Mujtahida:
No African team performs consistently.
Nigeria blazed in 94 and got to the second round and since then has been stuck on the second floor.

Cameroon, Senegal, Ghana and recently Morocco have reached the Semi finals one time each.

But I do believe that we will perform very well this time around.

junnyjake:
God will continue to punish Ajax.

QueenJazz:
Pundits in the house,

What's the deal with Gift Orban and why does he keep getting ignored? That dude is swift, skillful and pacey. What gives?

It honestly bothers (and annoys) me the amount of untapped potential and depth we have in the squad, and yet we keep relying on the same players over and over - sometimes to diminishing returns like in the case of Troost-Ekong

ChrisKels:
I would sacrifice one DM for him if he was fit

ChrisKels:
TheSuperNerd what's up with Tino Anjorin? What's going on with him at Torino? We need creativity in that midfield. It hurts me watching Osimhen being starved of better services.

johnjunior39:
I am just watching a clip of Nwabili attitude in this our last match.

I am sorry, that look more like attempt to match fixing than trauma.

Something is normal

lbrichman2:
Aniagboso is in Ukraine?
Top flight or the lower league?

lbrichman2:
The role Adams played yesterday, that's Lookman's best role.. support striker
Having him and Osimhen upfront immediately increases our quality..
Lookman should be competing for the second striker role, not with Simon or Chuks

CapitalCee:
Yeah how many match suspension is 2 yellow card and a red card

Elock1:
Nwabali pride fit cost us card and even goals
Uzoho own at least he no go cost us unnecessary card

Verytallman:
What exactly is stopping us from calling Arthur Okonkwo? He is eligible to play for us straight away. He has been cleared by FIFA to switch. He has made himself available. He has been putting in decent performances in the championship. Why he hasn't been called is still a surprise to me. I have personally seen his game on a few occasions. He's better than Nwabali.

AndSunGorilla:
Not sure but Francois would be.

CapitalCee:
Aubameyang will miss the match oo. Na true oooo. Jesus he was sent off in their last game. Wow nice observation.

Mujtahida:
Long explanation. I dey celebrate.

ChrisKels:
That should be a fight between Moffi, Akor and Tolu.

I put Tolu last in the list because dude seems like another social media guy that cares so much about his looks.

forgiveness:
We need to beat them to qualify. No easy team in the playoffs.

Just avoid Cameron.

QueenJazz:
It's funny how about a week ago, qualifying through the playoffs was looking like a camel passing through the eye of a needle. I never want to hear any stoopid Osimhen slander on this thread henceforth, or else me and you go get am hot.

Well, now that we are guaranteed for the playoffs, how's it looking for us against the non-African teams who will play in the playoffs at the Inter confederation stage?

And I will reiterate; nothing can ever make me to be worried when facing a team coached by Gernot Rorh

JohnBullMySon:
South Africa's goals are fu:cking WORLD CLASS tho.

Kai Osimhen dey try

yemyke001:
Fredrick is Unplayable. Too good a player
