The team didn't even look like they missed a training day

Tht first half was so sleek

Are you sure that strike was not a game plan or decoy to confuse the Gabonese?

Goke7:
To be honest I’ve not seen the eagles played such kind of accurate passes in that first half. They did nothing wrong but to score in that first half.

Chelle has finally given Amokachi and his fellow sexy and penetrating passes exponents their desires 😂

For some seconds , I thought they played like Barca. The skill and passes were so accurate at times one touch

TheSuperNerd:
Two Specially Monstrous Showings today


Wilfred Ndidi.... for sometime now, I have criticised his inclusion in the starting lineup and rightly so but today he finally showed why he belongs there. Ndidi shut me up!

He crowned an allround midfield display with a beautiful drive forward after our side put together a very nice vertical playing passing sequence (Bassey header interception ➡️ Moses Simon ➡️ Zaidu ➡️ Iwobi ➡️ Ndidi (who drives forward after shaking off a marker) ➡️ Ejuke.... just lovely passing.

Ndidi was monstrous in nearly all game facets today and at least finally realises that even if he cant shoot as often as we want him to, he can still provide final ball service.


Benjamin Frederick.... Everyone agrees this is one guy who can do no wrong in this team. He has not had a bad game since his debut for the Super Eagles in the Unity Cup.

In duels, he outduelled anyone.
In Tackles, he was smoother than anyone (Check out the tackle on Auba in the closing moments of the first half).
In Interceptions, he was colossal
In Defensive contributions, he was everywhere
In Offensive transitions, he drove the ball forward as a master libero and one of such actions brought a moment of sheer brilliance from 20 y/o Benjy Fred.... allow me break it down

He stepped forward from his defensive third centrally and challenged Aubameyang who received a pass with his back to his marker (Fred). He successfully won the duel vs legendary Aubameyang, left him on the turf, drove forward like a Franz Beckanbauer would in full libero flow, skipped past 2 markers and with brilliant pausa feints, directed his drive into the final third right half space where a Hungry Osimhen (who has missed enough chances) was waiting to pounce and redeem himself. And that he did... but all thanks to Benjamin "Beckanbauer" Frederick. A 20 y/o CB Phenomenon.

Brentford acquired has 2 young CB monsters from the 2023 U20 WC... one was Kim Ji-Soo now on loan at Kaiserlautern in the Bundesliga 2. Another was Benjamin Frederick now on loan at FCV Dender in Belgium's Jupiler Pro. Time will be kind to them, if they realise how quickly their Nigerian CB acquisition is stepping up to become Africa's next big thing in the CB role.

Benjamin "Beckanbaeur" Frederick is a world class talent. The finest jewel of the 2023 U20 Class.

Make una tell Tosin Adarabioyo say vacancy no dey again for SE. Frederick Benjamin has taken that spot

So the two Sevilla players scored today?

Wait ooo. We don't need Osayi in the last game. Semi Ajayi will be back so Fredrick will play RWB.

DrYa:
Chelle has done something in these set of super eagles..
Not only do they win, they now score plenty goals..
I was surprised to see them still pushing to score more after 4 goals..
The SE we used to know will score a goal and relax.. something has changed...

Thanks to all the players and coaching crew for putting smiles in our faces tonight.

Today I thought I was watching Barca in green during that first half. Chelle has done something. Iwobi said the players don't only play for Nigeria but for Chelle their Big brother

Mujtahida:
I call him Frank the tank

The guy try abeg

I really appreciate and applaud Chelle. He has never been afraid to add talents into his team. First it was Benjamin Frederick, then Tolu Arokodare, then Ola Olusegun, then Akor Adams and now Chidera Ejuke. He knew what he wanted and went for it.

Bring in Onyeka and Onyedika PLEASE

Elock1:
Fredrick too good

Frederick is a revelation.
What a player!

Cold dey catch me

The NFF have identified five ring leaders who stirred up the players to boycott training. I hope they don't get punishment

She should win the African Women Footballer of this year.

Odunayaw:
JUST IN from Pooja;

National Sports Commission has weighed into the issues as they've cleared all the outstanding of the team before today but the issues at hand is not about the outstanding but special request by the players ahead of the game.

More details

It's either these players are playing mind games with Gabon or they are shooting themselves on the foot because even if Nigeria qualifies, majority of these players who boycotted this game may be dropped like it happened to Oliseh and co in 2002

TheSuperNerd:
Maduka Okoye is in Morocco. He has landed.

His snap story reveals it.

Enfant terrible

Cocony:
He is already in camp. Confirmed about 1hr 30minutes ago.

Any source??
Where is Okoye and Alhassan? See the last person should just go back home

TheSuperNerd:
Where is Osimhen? - Nigerian fans
Abi na Mind games? - Nigerian fans

Nigerian fans cry out for their Warlord in the Comments under The Super Eagles post on the latest update of players in camp.

Some funny comments on Yusuf and Okoye snuck in too. 😂

Abi dem don kidnap Osimhen?

minfelix:
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

GRACE cover the bolded

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

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

See jinjer😂😂

9JAMac10:
Camp opens today. According to what I see on the internet . Our London and England based buys are in the way to the camp. Major decider In 3 days time. Give me World Cup qualification over winning Afcon.

Our London boys no carry this playoffs joke oooo.

TheSuperNerd:
Gala loses. Osimhen walks off unscathed. No injuries.
Gala stays top though.

Next up Gabon.

Aaaaaahhhhh. My mind don come down now as Osimhen is safe and injury free. Lets go Super Eagles

QueenJazz:
Unpopular opinion here, but I'd say he's more deserving than Olusegun for instance. My memory could be compromised here so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I can recall him putting up a strong showing at the last AFCON in the group stages before he got injured.

Compare this to Olusegun who was bang average in his first outing.

I can't forget his jump before that 4th goal against Benin. The guy ''long" ehhhh. But sincerely I don't see what Chelle sees in that guy.

Mujtahida:
This Alhassan godfather strong oo.

I tell you my brother. He fit be NFF pikin

Ragingthunder:
Akinsanmiro looked class. Hope his injury isn’t serious.

These guys should play safe this weekend ooo. That's the more reason Chelle has not released his list

Lookman should please leave Atalanta in January. What is this?

See me just dey fear anytime Osimhen dey with ball. We no want injury. We get unfinished business on Nov 13th vs Gabon

TheSuperNerd:
Raphael Onyedika's switch of plays passing playing a key role in Brugge's goal vs Barca. Baller.

Why this guy no dey get game time with SE still dey shock me ooo. I no just understand.

Goke7:
The Ajax keeper prepare wella for osihmen today!

Osimhen is a gem abeg. God just dash Naija world best

PDPGuy:
Cape Verde 🇨🇻 is a bonafide West African country, so there will be 7 West African teams

Morocco
Nigeria
South Africa
Ghana

These may be the top seeded teams

abbey086:
The playoff is next week and the list of invited players is not yet out, this current NFF is highly ineffective and inimical to our football development.

Chelle informed the NFF not to release the list yet to the public until after the UCL and Europa League this week

QueenJazz:
Lol, true. Apart from occasional visits from aliens, this thread is sanitized.

You no go kill me with laugh abeg
