That midfield needs to be sorted out. It's still hasn't gelled

Add Uche, Onyeka and Bashiru to the midfield and we are good to go. Not all countries can't boast of having Pedri and his likes.
I liked Yusuf ball control today even though he was being played out of position and was making wrong decisions when with the ball

we really need to start scouting wingers. Simon is close to 30, chukwueze is just on and off, Ejike na awilo dancer, the only reliable one we hv currently is Lookman

There is this young Swedish born winger signed by RC Lens, saw few of his games and bobo is explosive and lively. I think he plays for the Swedish U20/21 team currently. Such players can be reached out to

We really need young wingers to be integrated to the team gradually

That same Ejuke would have done better than Chukwueze and Simon today.
Most times when I watch Yamal play, a 17year old winger, I just shake my head for Chukwueze.
I can't remember the last time Chukwueze dribble passed a defender or scored a cutler, something that other left footed average wingers do all over the world 🌎

[quote author=BankyGee post=134653776][/quote]Yeah!
Atleast another 5 more goals for Osimhen in the last 5 matches to make his goals 30.
Bearing injuries, I foresee Osimhen scoring upto 45-50 goals before retiring

BankyGee:
Amin o 🙏🏾

So painful that either Madueke or Adeyemi or even Nwaneri refused to play for Nigeria. It would have made the SE a balance team because Chukwueze wing right now doesn't contribute anything meaningful in matches

Make Africa do start their own Nations League so that African players can have more goals playing for their National teams. European players just they stadpad with Nations League matches

charlesemeka85:
How many goals do Osimhen need to equal Yekini’s record in the national team?

I think Yekini is either 34 or 37 goals

BankyGee:
Victor Osimhen's brace against Rwanda today means he has scored:

- Nigeria's goals against Rwanda in Rwanda since 2005
- 2 goals in his first 2026 World Cup qualifying game
- 2 goals in his first international game for 2025
- 8 goals in his last four games for club and country
- 2 goals to cement his position as the second all-time top scorer for the Nigerian national team (25)

King of Strikers 🦁👑🇳🇬

He is doing his best, I pray his team mates doesn't fail him because I need him to give us a NC trophy and also qualifies us to the WC

minfelix:
except if it as the coach’s instructions for Tolu slow the the tempo, then no p, but Chelle should learn from his Afcon mistake oo, you dont score hungry teams 1-2 and 2-0 and slow down tempo ooo…some will keep fighting oo, i need to see another radical striker in the shape of Osimhen ooo…like we so so so so need it meehn..i hope Tolu can hustle like him too…beat teams well well, show them say them too small

The SE have another match next week Tuesday. Na blood the players they use and not electric 💡.

daveP:
that guyyy sef. I recall the Saudi friendly

If he easy make oyinbo sign you Na 🤣🤣🤣
Pride indeed goeth before a fall

Starboytwo:
Theres no point being surprised... Even if you are coaching your street team and such situation, that is the right call... Remove your Main guy and calm the game out. 🤷

Why are some people now singling out Tolu as if he had an opportunity to score and he missed it?

Starboytwo:
There's no point in breaking out alone by Tolu Arokodare and lose the ball when we are 0-2 up and easing the game out....

Y'all only see negative part, what about the positive part. What about the 3 good long balls he won, with his height. I counted 3... He is not sluggish or slow but he put body for ball and fight...

Infact I'm highly impressed with Tolu Arokodare today... More impressive than Boniface has ever been in Eagles.

Also, this is is Debut...

Mehn, y'all forget about Dessers. He is not in the team for a reason..

Tolu was really good with his height, I love how he was making used of his height to bring down long balls using his chest... Things that players like Onuachu and Sadiq lacks.

Some person's might be surprised that it was the coach instruction to calm down the match and Tolu was just playing to instructions.

The Tolu that I have watched for Genk this season is not as lazy as Sodiq and Onuachu

Afobear:
Yup... Hope to be able to afford a 100 inches so i can watch live when you dont qualify for the Worldcup ...Za to throw in the Final Dagger to eliminate you will be peak happiness for me

Wetin come bring this Mumu talk come here now?
Also, what does a poor man like you need 100inch tv for? How many men in same Ghana that I know can afford 100inch tv?

Afobear:
Yes it was cheap because my friend sold it to me because he got a big Lgtv... It's a Vizio 65

No wonder you got it that amount. That TV should be nothing less than $600 now.

minfelix:
Nig vs Zim(9ja to win) 9pts
Rwa v Les(Rwa played us the kind of football that can beat an average Lesotho team, so i see them winning) 10pts
Ben v SA(this game, gernot will hugely prove a point, to draw this match, they are yet to lose a game on that stadium in this qualifiers so i will predict a draw)
SA 11
Rwa 10
Nig 9
Ben 9
Les 5
Zim 3

september fixtures(MD 7)
Nig vs Rwa
Les vs SA
Ben vs Zim

MD 8
SA v Nig(this where we might end up winning or drawing SA)
Zim v Rwa
Ben v Les

Wish SA won't win any of there next 2 matches away, while we wins ours. E go too sweet mhen. Even if they have to draw their next 2 matches no problem

jihday:
I’m only bothered about SA, the rest will drop plenty points we just need to win all our games and I think we’ll be fine

We will beat these other teams , trust me. I don't know about SA away sha, that match will be war

Afobear:
200$

It's cheap if it's a smart TV. My 65inch Hisense that I bought last 2years for 450k is now about 1.1-1.2milion(which is about $750 now)

daveP:
We just need any outcome that will make us closer to the 1st spot on the table. SA win means 13 which is a no no. You're right. Lesotho may give Rwanda problems sha.

If not for Peseiro and Finidi, what would we be looking for in the position we are now? Imagine they played 4 games , drew 3 and lost one, they won none. Ordinarily these teams, Rwanda, Lesotho and Zimbabwe are supposed to be beating home and away and that's what will happen with this new coach and the spirit he has brought to the team. There is no way SA can beat Benin away, I'm very sure. I won't even be surprised if Benin beats them

daveP:
Benin and Rwanda will want to win badly


Benin win means they get 11points
Rwanda win means they get 10points
Nigerian win means 9points

This makes it 11, 10, 10, 9 after Tuesday game. SA must not win. Rwanda also.

If Nigeria and Lesotho win we get 9 and 8 and rwanda drops.

Best result is a Benin SA draw. Nigeria goes 2nd straight by GD. And 2 points behind SA.

Either way, Benin must Win or Draw to give us the advantage while we win ours. But Rwanda winning will be a thorn

This Rwanda that I just watched can't win their remaining games. Either they win Lesotho or not, to me I'm not bothered. SA should not win against Benin, that's the Koko

Joezinho:
Chukwueze have never proven to be a Starter for Super Eagles.

Wonder how he always frauds his way into the starting XI.

Because he is the only left footed attacker in the SE.
If Noni Madueke or Karim Adeyemi had opted to play for Nigeria, there is no way they won't bench Chukwueze in this team. Even Ethan Nwaneri will bench him

JayromWrites:
How many people onyedika wan replace for the pitch?

Reread what I posted bro.
The important thing is that he is brought in as soon as possible to replace either Ndidi or Iwobi or even Chukwueze (this will change the formation to a 433)

My HT assessment
Ndid has no business starting anymore. He can't hold the ball and he has been the culprit of wrong passes. He should be removed for Onyedika do handle his position or Yusuf to help break down the Rwandans passes.

Iwobi hasn't done well as the playmaker, that's why the SE hasn't seen much of the ball in the MF. Whenever he moves backward to receive a pass, he just doesn't know how to spread it or gives killer passes or hold on play. Onyedika needs to takeover that position from him, he should continue in a new position.

Chukwueze, nothing to write home about that one, even the SE players doesn't trust him to use his wing...he has been a minus 1

I will advise Chelle to switch to a 4-3-3 formation with Yusuf, Onyedika and Iwobi as the midfielders and Lookman, Osimhen and Simon as the attackers.

Our defence has been okay thus far

Finally, Osimhen finishing has fvcking improved.

HT in SA, SA 0-0 Lesotho 🤗

Aina as a LB is a Bandit 😄😄

OSIMHENNNN ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

Download GTV Live from Playstore.

Please is it on Apple store?

mekabuachi:
Omo see crowd 😩

If the SE can't withstand such crowd when they are playing in Europe with bigger opposing crowd's, then they are not fit to be called professionals

minfelix:
bro chukwueze on his day, will yeye defenders oo, lets hope today is his day you cant tell…he did it in uyo against same Rwanda

Which Rwanda and what was his contributions in that same match?
Yeah, he is good but during U17 days, with few flashes in his senior career

minfelix:
ahh omo me i dont have choice ooo….i just prefer bruno in eagle shirt over Osai, but who im i…..that list is a killer list ooo…common super eagles legggoooo🔥🔥

Killer list with Chukwueze starting?
I would have preferred Iwobi moved to that right attack and Onyedika starts where Iwobi is

CornOak:
I see a RED CARD in this game, who gets it? I don't know.

Na Osayi... That guy is fvcking rough mhen.
Sincerely speaking, I even prefer Ehizibue of Udinese as Aina backup

But Bruno has been really good in the LB position for the SE. All these coaches sef.
Osayi that's very rough, make he nor come go cause penalty oh

iwaeda:
Kano is NEXT.

Please it should be Osun first
