elyte89:
Wc risk? Forget world cup den …😏😏😏

😂😂😂 I don tell you severally, forget this SE job.

Kog45:
Kai Ghana even have the chance of making it....take it or leave it, something need to be done to our midfield,just go and watch our Afcon matches again,you will understand me Wella baba....yes we made it to the final but our midfield damn too average and this always lead to players overworking to cover spaces,reason why Osimhen,Ekong,Sanusi,Aina,Onyenka all got injured after Afcon...till date Sanusi has not fully recovered.

Peseiro killed our WC starting,imagine drew Zimbabwe and Lesotho and Findi buried it,now waiting for a coach to revive it.

Relax sir, we go qualify.

elyte89:
Winning the next two games can change d story of this qualification. It’s doable with me as d coach .

We no go fit take that risk.

Update on TheGoodJoe

NB: Please kindly put banters aside and take this seriously. Resist also the insensitive temptation to link this to Man City's current run of form. This is no joking matter, I plead


Now, I know a couple of monikers have been asking for weeks now about the whereabouts of TheGoodJoe. Truth is, I didn't want to share anything even though I knew all along what was happening with him and that is because I had not gotten his consent yet to share it (I have that now). He was going through a whole lot healthwise and I kept touch with him from the onset.
I just didn't wanna bring something so sensitive and private without his consent to the thread.


About 2 weeks ago or so, TheGoodJoe suffered a diabetic mini-stroke that really knocked him down. It led to him entering a semi-coma which kept him bed ridden for days but now he is up and fine again and has even been discharged as recently as yesterday.

He is fine but still undergoing serious followup checks with his doctors and more.

Please, kindly channel some of your prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽to TheGoodJoe's health. Pray that this diabetic episode won't see the last of him. It is well. Amen.

In all, TheGoodJoe is sound currently. He can walk again and move around. He couldn't as at several days and weeks back. He is okay but still needs checks to ensure no relapse occurs. We thank God for his Life.

He also wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year ahead.

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Wish him full recovery and full healing in Jesus name. Amen.

Nwakali is different and he's good fortune would favor the Super eagles midfield.
If South Africa can play us with "local players" and we have a problem with one player from league one in d midst of 20 top flight player.
Haba!!! Reason am na.
The last match against Rwanda, Raphael and troost were responsible for the 2nd goal (dem suppose flog Raphael sef).
A Nigerian league player and a Nigerian coach gave us our last nations cup.

We do not have a playing personnel problem. We have a coaching problem.

daveP:
Shame on Enyimba for how they handled travel plans.

Even if dem travel 1 month ahead, e for no make any difference.

Mujtahida:
You just defamed my client.

Abeg ooo😂😂😂

TheSuperNerd:

elyte89:
Pape Thiaw named as d Senegalese new coach


D guy was just a Senegal home based national team coach (he actually won d last championship)



And we still Dey here ,we Neva knw who go coach us

No be your mate don see work so? 😂

opes:
Napoli finally lost at home. The league will be interesting

This is their second loss at home. They earlier lost to Lookman and Atalanta.

TheSuperNerd:
Cool10 obviously thinks na him don fight for Dessers pass for here not knowing it all began with you. He doesn't know of your #InviteCyrielDessers Campaign running then in the days of Rohr.

I even named you president of the Cyriel Dessers club.😂😂😂

Anyway, his Dessers argument is valid coz Boniface we keep inviting haven't scored once in 11 caps.

You are spot on bro. I no follow am fight. I just dey remind am we are on the same side. But I am not as passionate as he is on the matter.

COOL10:
How many strikers have clicked for the Super Eagles apart from Osimhen and Iheanacho? Bro, I don't where you were when I made the initial comparisons but in case you missed it, here's the updated list:


Sadiq Umar has 1 goal in 12 matches for the Super Eagles.

Paul Onuachu has 3 goals in 25 matches for the Super Eagles.

Awoniyi has 2 goals in 10 matches for the Super Eagles.

Boniface has 1 goal in 11 matches for the Super Eagles.

Cyriel Dessers has 2 goals in 6 matches for the Super Eagles and those 2 goals came from 2 starts. 1 against Mexico and another against Ghana( 2 teams that are not easy to score against).


As you can see, Dessers has a better goal per game ratio for the Super Eagles than most, if not all of the strikers I mentioned above apart from Osimhen and Iheanacho, yet they keep getting multiple invites ahead of him.


Dessers is one of the few Nigerian players who decided to play for us despite the fact that he could have easily played for the country of his birth/naturalization. The other players I can think of are Iwobi, Victor Moses and perhaps Lookman.


As at the time Dessers decided to play for us, the only Belgian striker that had a better goal scoring record than him was Lukaku. Every other Belgian striker was beneath Dessers. Even Lois Openda was nowhere to be found. I made the comparisons on this thread some years back.


If Dessers decides to play for Belgium tomorrow, he's walking into that team WITH EASE, especially now that Openda isn't performing well, but I know he won't because he loves Nigeria so much.

😂😂😂😂 Brother!!! E be like say u new for here. Ask them ooo. I was the first and only person who clamored for Dessers even before the 2018 World Cup. Cause I knew Ighalo was not it at that time. When it comes to Dessers you just dey start for the matter.

TheSuperNerd:
To be fair, Dessers has more Super Eagles goals than Boniface and in lesser caps too. Just saying.

Anyway, all of the striking backups hasn't exactly impressed much in the GWG.

True.

elyte89:
So who’s going to be in charge….me? 😊

NFF don secure sponsor for foreign coach salary. Maybe next time. Bangladesh dey find coach, try that side. 😀😀

COOL10:
Lol, there's too much favouritism and godfatherism in the current NFF setup for that to happen. Dessers doesn't have a godfather in the NFF, so his continuous exclusion from the team is not surprising to me. It doesn't even help matters that it's his mother, and not his father that's a Nigerian, but that's a topic for another day 😄.


I don't even want him to be called up now. Let Eguavoen go ahead with the usual suspects to the WC Qualifiers, so that if eventually he fails to qualify us for the World Cup, he'll know the people to hold responsible. There'll be no Dessers for anybody to blame for their failures.

Eguavoen will not be in charge by January. Dessers is my man...but he has not really clicked for the SE.

oloriooko:
Dude MUST be in the next SE invites he has justified a place in the team not Sadiq nor Awoniyi

oga calm down ooo

Man city system is a zombie system. Individual thinking is limited. Liverpool just stretch the play and finish them off.

kennysville:
E don turn target now abi? What a people!.

Una well done O

The same Rohr wey dey qualify us with 1 or 2 games to spare? Same coach wey player go dey injured he go send one of his assistants to work with the player? Because of same coach all our players dey ensure say dem push their agents to sign for top clubs? Rohr was not perfect but please give him his due.

kennysville:
The signs were there all along. Na one game to spare baba take deceive Nigerians

Tell me one target dem give Rohr when he no meet

TheSuperNerd:
Wilfred Ndidi starts in Ruud Van Nistelrooy's first game as Leicester coach.

Actually not Ruud’s first game. He is sitting out this one.

BankyGee:
You're just swaying off topic.

They might not get out of their group, that's football for you bro, Senegal seff no pass Round of 16 for last AFCON, we too didn't pass Round of 16 at the 2021 AFCON, don't make it look like na top 5 league players dey win AFCON. DR Congo and South Africa wey reach semifinals of the AFCON no be top 5 leagues carry them reach there.

I'm not against top 5 league players and I'm not clamouring for any player from below top 5 leagues, but the ideolgy of "it must be top 5 league players in the national team" is a wack ideology, very wack.

The Morocco with that squad still performed better than any African country in history on the fkkking biggest stage, and did it in style. They didn't concede a single goal till the semifinals (penalty shootout included). The only goal they conceded against Canada was an own goal. That's a good team for you.

The England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy of this planet, where do they get their players from. Make we no too argue…. It’s not a players problem. It’s a coaching problem.

The same people clamoring for every Tom Dick and Harry to be invited irrespective of where dey play are the same people that will disappear when it becomes a disaster. Those who have trained and worked their asses off to get to the top 5 leagues should be tossed aside for those who are playing for get retirement money. Una well done.

BankyGee:
That's exactly what's killing our squad, Morocco don't have a world-class "squad" but have players that suits whatever playing profile they need and that's what makes them a solid "team"...

We're... No, most people here are all about "top 5 leagues" and not all the top 5 leagues players are performing for us in the national team, make una dey play. National team is not club side, you need the best in any position from whatever club he plays for to form your good national team side, as far as he go deliver.

Morocco strikers;
Soufiane Rahimi - Al Ain (Dubai)
El Kaabi - Olympiacos (Greece)
Youseff En-Neysri - Fenerbahçe (Turkey)

Midfielders;
Amrabat (Fenerbahçe).
They have players from Panathinaikos, Al-Ahly, Al-Sadd, Al-Hilal and they're all balling for Morocco.

We... No, most people here dey dey deceive themselves. Or the South Africans that are the second highest scoring team in the AFCON qualifiers are all top 5 leagues players.

Top 5 league players are needed but trying to make players playing in lower leagues seem like toys na just anyhow reasoning.

😂😂😂 Qualifiers and tournaments are a different ball game. This same Morocco you are praising now, might not even get out of their group at the nations cup. Wonder why is that a team you blast 7 goals past in the qualifiers; you struggle to even score one during a tournament?

Kai na like this BARNSLEY FC come dey popular than MAN CITY 😄for this thread...Nwakali powerful o

Oga KOG… Abeg just pass. If u too talk na dem go say you get agenda.

😂😂😂😂

TheSuperNerd:
Nice play by Simon moses to set up that shot chance for Iheanacho who hit it well and good but straight at Ntwali.

Truidstarr, there is your shot on target.

That’s what am talking about.

TheSuperNerd:
And that is the fault of Onyedika and Alhassan who are actually doing their jobs?

They are doing their jobs.. no forward progression.. iheanacho and Boniface waiting for a line breaking pass… alhasaan decided to do a sideways pass.

TheSuperNerd:
The midfield exists. You are just pushing an Iwobi agenda. Blame Bashiru who isn't interpreting his 10 role not Onyedika and Alhassan who are actually holding that middle game.

zero shot on target after 31 minutes?

kelvindj98:
Boniface has to be one of the most overrated footballers I have seen.

How? When he is not receiving any service from a non existent midfield.
