You are right

Reason I might be right with that conversation ,so I don’t get why some of them don’t wanna agree with me

I'm not sure you watched Okocha played, maybe you just watched his highlights later on or just the latter years of his career at Hull city.
During Okocha playing days, mostly from 1998 - 2004, he was the heart of everything SE and Botton Wanderers. I can vividly remember how we used to give up before commencements of matches both for botton and the SE if Okocha wasn't playing.
He was the heart and soul of the SE in 2000, 2002 and 2004 ACN and at Botton, they were so unknown and he solely brought Botton to limelight, that they are still experiencing till today.
During Okocha days at Botton, Bolton playing the big teams were seen as big matches , not even Kanu commanded such prestige for all the club's he played for in the EPL.
Lastly, Botton Wanderers still have fans and sympathisers in Nigeria till today because of Okocha. When it comes to the EPL, no Nigeria player till date has made better impact .
He think if was rated among the top 100 greats ever in the EPL.

Nomyth:
To replace who?

We are playing a 2 man midfield and it's limiting our play.
Play Uche alongside Ndidi(since them nor wan drop am to the bench even when he contributes nothing to the starting 11 for the SE), Uche and Iwobi or Ndidi, Onyedika and Uche and move Iwobi to RW.

solonnachi:
I believe he has learnt his lessons. I knew NFF hands were written all over that list when I saw it

Imagine a country with midfield generals like Ndidi, Onyeka, Iwobi, Bashiru, Onyedika, Uche, etc will be battling to compete in the midfield with smaller countries like Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Lesotho.
The coach is even at fault because we the viewers knows that Iwobi needed to be moved to AM but SE coaches kept playing him out of position. Play Iwobi as an AM or as a RW, same position he plays for Fulham, them nor they hear.

Nwabali
Aina
Ekong
Bassey

Ndidi/Onyeka
Onyedika/Uche
Uche/Bashiru

Lookman
Osimhen
Iwobi

The coach go die if them give us starting 11 like this?

Samueltemi337:
Uche again with the key pass for the third goal for Getafe

And una coach dropped him for Papa Daniel Abi wetin be him name again?1

Gandollar:
How many Edo people are on the surface of the earth? 😃

@post, I knew it was fake news from the beginning.

Let me not go too further by mentioning names of Edo people that have ruled over you and your household, let me just mention UROMI PEOPLE that have.
The great Tony Aneni whom till today no one can match his sagacity in PDP is from UROMI.
Mike Onolememhen who was a former minister of works and he oversaw all the bad roads in your region is from UROMI. And if you are Igbo, ask your Igbo brothers who Esan men are both in Nigeria and abroad and they will boldly tell you that Esan men are never intimidated or can be oppressed. So, madam or Oga, despite the fact that Esan is just a senatorial District (5 LGA) of Edo State, Esan men are known all over the world and just as Edo State is the heartbeat of Nigeria, Uromi is also the Heartbeat of Edo State.
Finally, the Efandion where those criminals/bandits/Kidnappers met their Waterloo, that's my village. Nothing will happen...except nor be Esan people those Fulani jam

Odunayaw:
Na 4-1 or 3-1 tomorrow match go be

They won't score

semid4lyfe:
Even making the top 4 runner up positions for the play offs seems a daunting task.

There are teams on 12,11 and 10 points in those positions already.

Yeah, you are right but just few of those teams are reliable. That's why I said if we could win our remaining 5 matches, that would take out total points to 21. It should be enough to be atleast the 4th playoff qualified team. Also, we need to start scoring loads of goals because it will help our course.
Na Peseiro and Finidi put us for this mess so

minfelix:
Yea true talk, i see us sneaking into the runners up table after the win tomorrow…Niger is the last team there with 6points but superior goal difference to ours

We will definitely sneak in after tomorrow's match but only the top 4 best losers will qualify for the playoff, that's why it's important we win all our matches.
And we also need to try and score more and concede less going forward because it will help us. A 3-0 win against Zimbabwe won't be bad

minfelix:
kai omo that year wey super eagles played Zimbabwe in world cup qualifiers 2005 in abuja
Nig 5-1 Zimbabwe…that very year we were trying to catch up with angola😅😂and later did not qualify

We will qualify this time, history is meant to be broken. Prior to playing Rwanda in their home we had not beating them but we did this time.
Even if we fail to qualify directly, we should try and win our remaining games and that might make us qualify for the play off as one of the top 4

JagabanBorgu:
"America and UK was built by the govt" clearly shows u are Iost and shouldn't be making a post about society building in the first place.
Before posting about a topic, make a research, that's how you can post properly, the irony of posts in Nigeria is that it has no meaning, no aim and objectives, no scope, no justification, no direction, it's just fuelled by the urge to talk so even the poster most of the time is ignorant.

I think you should stop given the illiterate an audience and see if this thread won't die a natural death.
It's clear that he is using your quotes and replies to gain more posts so that the thread can be pushed to the FP.
He is not worth arguing with, his level of reasoning is low and can only be compared with that of a local trader in Onitsha

LandlockedApes:
oga Lagos has money. The state govt should complete it and then see if people will not buy it. It is the govt that build infrastructures. Dubai was built by their government and not the citizens.

What about your state of Origin, it doesn't have money?
You can as well tell you state government to come up with such city and show LASG how best it should be done

JagabanBorgu:
Invest your money to make it faster, the only thing the average Nigerian is good is talking.
Eko Atlantic city is an initiative of LASG the one you are comparing with is a national project building a new capital, u Iots are reaIIy pàthètic.
Egypt's new capital is financed majorly by the Chinese, if Tinubu replicate something like that today, u will make dozens of posts to tell us how it's not important, same way Lienus and his cronies will post and post but here u are making comparison between that a project initiated by a state govt.

Invest your money to make it faster.

They are wired to always complain.
Ask him if he tried to invest like $1b in EAC and the LASG rejected his investment.
Also, it's slow according to him because it's real money that they use to invest there and not those kind of Cubana Chief Priest and iPods online billionaire money.

mekabuachi:
This Libya no dey hear word 😂
Still kept Sudan in the airport fore hours, seized there passports

And guess what they came there to play another country not even then😂🤦

Na Witch them be then

comodo:
Yes it wasn't, but used to be cleaner

Population is also part of the cause.
Imagine a man with no job given birth to 9 children, they will surely become street children

comodo:
Nigeria wasn't like that earlier.

Check Nigeria newspapers of the 60s, you will see there was never a time it was Eldorado in Nigeria. It gets worse by the years though

comodo:
Imagine just 1994 the country was destroyed and at the end, they all joined together to rebuild. No victor no vanquished. But my country na the other way round.

It has nothing to do with the country name but the people or rather her citizens.

Nigerians are naturally dirty and wicked, including the common man in the street, not just the politicians. That's why you would see a Nigerian opens his eyes and dump refurges on the road or in a cutter or drainages and if the government arrest them, they will start shouting Witch hunting

Tchinaidi:
Perfect combination that get us even through a world cup semi final

Aribo as a Left Winger and Onyedika as a Right winger? Na man you be.
Even if the coach is to deploy this formation, it should be against superior countries and Aina Should replace Onyedika as a Right Winger, why Bassey is drafted as a Left Winger and a natural CB replaces him as a cb.

lordofstrings:
That stadium in kigali na world class. When they showed the outside i thought it's one of these European country. Neat, even the surrounding buildings had light

Chai!.
Nigeria my country
She can do better

Rwanda isn't rated the most clean country in africa and among the top in the world for nothing. It has nothing to do with their stadium, it's their general culture.

yinkeys:
We don’t have Work horse box to box midfielders & Defensive midfielders that score goals
That’s why Ndidi & Onyeka aren’t classified as world class to me
I feel like Onyeka has more to offer
I need to watch more of Onyedikachi, I don’t think he’s as energetic as Onyeka though
Can we ever get a Kante, Rodri or Odegard ? Lol

How many countries can boast of these midfielders that you mentioned? Some of the countries with these exceptional midfielders also lack other things, e.g Norway and their Defence.
If I'm the SE coach, I will always start Onyeka as my DM because of his work rate, Onyedika as my CM because the guy is good with ball control and controls the midfield better than Ndidi and either Bashiru or Iwobi as my AM (Bashiru is good at scoring from the midfield).

yinkeys:
The other strikers need to fight for striker number 2 & 3 spot

Awoniyi needs to fight his way back into Forests starting line up by September or else he may not make World Cup or AFCON winning list

Moffi needs to recover ASAP , he’s technically gifted. He makes it look natural like he went to football academy in England or Spain

Sadiq needs to be consistent in almighty la liga

Gift Orban who I personally think is a hustler should get more goals

Boniface doesn’t play like a natural striker or should I say doesn’t have a natural strikers instinct when he plays for Nigeria

Arokodare i haven’t watched a lot of his games to conclude (I’ve seen highlights & tap ins)

Dessers might actually stand a chance to make that list if he keeps scoring in Europa league, surely he won’t be denied. Nigerians don’t rate Scottish league

I don’t know if Onuachu will make the list from the Championship, except he goes back to Belgium on loan maybe.

Is this really the end of Kelechi Iheanacho’s super eagles career? I remember Gernot Rohr dropped him just before AFCON 2019, he revived his career. Will it happen again ? Iheanacho is 28 years old
I believe Man City messed his style up by changing his football position, it appears this affects a lot of footballers.

Chrisantus Uche needs to be in this team
We have 2 proven world class players in the team, maybe we could have 3

If we get to the World Cup & the team list is 100% based on merit. I believe we could beat all the non World Cup winners including taking down a few of the 8 World Cup winners.
(I mean I could see us beating Holland, USA, Croatia, Japan, Sweden, Australia etc comfortably)
Maybe I’m dreaming

Another player that I think can go highly playing for a bigger club in his career is Bassey. He has tremendously improved and those silly mistakes he is known for has minimised

yinkeys:
You are underrating Scandinavian teams lol
Denmark, Sweden have always gotten the W against us the few times we met them
I believe Uche, Osimhen & Lookman will be a deadly combo for many teams
I think these are the 3 world class players we have, even though Uche is yet to prove himself
I may add Ola Aina too, have you seen his crazy long throws lol
Aina’s agent should try to help him get to Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid
Hoping we can balance the team out
I somewhat like how Chukwueze was used in the last game against Rwanda

The thing tire me, some players agent they fvckup.
Real Madrid doesn't have a natural RB and Aina is at Forest. Even Man City needs Aina more than he needs them.

MetalJigsaw:
If You're hoping on Benin to get a result in their match (which is supposedly a home game for Benin) against SA, just know that the match will be played in Durban South Africa.

It's in ivore coast

BankyGee:
Omo, Guinea had 29 shots, 15 on target, 12 corners, no goal 🙆🏾‍♂️

Who be that bloody goalkeeper? 😂

Like say Nigeria league serious, Na these kind goalkeepers and some good players in obscure African countries the club's for they buy come Nigeria league to give it an international appeal

Truidstarr:
Una go just dey criticize player. Chukwueze played to instructions yesterday. He was more effective off the ball than on the ball. He was drifting from his wing to help out in the middle, his dribbling was limited yesterday so as not lose the ball and put Osayi Samuel under pressure.

Okay coachy

comodo:
I no go surprise if I see Papa Daniel for that wing against Zim.

Make he try even Bruno for the Wing if need be because Chukwueze is -1

daveP:
At this rate, trial and error is welcome.


Why they no fit queue sef? 😂😂😂😂😂

Them nor wan buy fuel ⛽ for filling station

daveP:
At this rate, It is really up to Chelle to find a 2nd striker that will play regular games and allow Osimhen sit them out. No meed to invite him. He's proven himself. The search for a 2nd reliable striker starts now. We can't even beat chest and say oya o, see this guy, he can deputize Osimhen and no need for fear. All the ones currently available, if they start then for 90mins, Ademola Lookman will outshine them.

Then there's this brewing issue with the wing.

If winger dey NPFL or English Championship abeg make they get chance. Chuks is offffff. Offers no threat. Abi he wan dey go the Sterling route ni?

Or they coach should invite and try akpom?
Even Maja was a good player then

charlesemeka85:
Boniface will effortlessly score that Osimhen’s 2nd goal but the issue is can he hustle the ball away from the defender and dash towards goal as osimhen did? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have you checked Boniface convertion rate? He won't score anything, rather he will continue to hold on to the ball and tries to dribble the defender again

ChrisKels:
We really need a striker who can maintain same tempo when subbed in for Osimhen.

Chelle needs to put in effort to bring in George Ilenikhena, while we also watch Rafiu Durosimi as Moffi recuperates.

That Rafiu has either been scoring or assisting since he returned from injury.
I haven't watched him play though

charlesemeka85:
Boniface is the worst so far 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But to be fair I would hv preferred Dessers taking Boniface space in this qualifiers base on current form

For Chelle to prefer Arokodare ahead of Boniface to replace osimhen against Rwanda says it all

Boniface really need to sit up

He shouldn't sit up, he should be there and be posting memes. He thinks he has a stake in the team without contributing nothing on the field of play

charlesemeka85:
Baba mk we no dey deceive ourselves on Dessers cus can’t do more than he have already done in the national

From the very beginning the guy in the national team is off

Has Boniface done better than him in the NT?

minfelix:
im making my own prediction oo, make Benin Just help us win or draw while we beat zimbabwe even though na 1-0 biko

We are beating Zimbabwe atleast by 3 goals.
One thing about these smaller teams, Nigeria should always try to score them early and they will lose total concentration...they won't know either to attack or to continue playing defensively
