Cocony:
Wetin you understand or misunderstand?
Akinsanmiro is an average if not below average player for now playing for a hapless team albeit loaned out to a hapless bottom placed team.
I will rather make a case for including a GIFT ORBAN in attack than an Ebenezer Akinsanmiro in our midfield based on all Serie A matches both have played.
Conclusively some recommendations seen and supported here bear some undertone of ethnicity. Same with not calling out Ademola Lookman's flaws just because of an APOTY award.

Cocony:
The hype seems borne out of ingesting fermented kunu mixed with pastis. Too much nonsense in the name of scouting for a great midfielder.
When some of us called for the re-introduction of Ejuke some wacked fellas branded him primary school dribbler alas today he has proven them wrong.
Akinsanmiro will not bench anyone in the current midfield setup not even Alhassan on a bad day.

In light of the recent events going on in Rabat, I think its safe to say that our FIFA World Cup qualification campaign is, for all intents and purposes, dead.

The endemic rot within the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has reared it's ugly head again where it mattered most. Unless a miracle happens over the next few days, I would advise you all to just focus on the upcoming AFCON (which I'm doubtful we'll even perform well in).

The NFF may yet scramble a frantic, last-minute negotiation to get the players back onto the pitch, but the damage done is irreversible. The wound inflicted upon the team’s psychology, focus, and tactical readiness cannot be stitched up with a single bank transfer. The integrity of this preparation cycle has been shattered just before the highest-stakes match of their careers. If you're still thinking these players will perform, you're living in lalaland. Of course, this is assuming the match will even be played as the situation seems to be getting even worse every minute.

Football at the elite level is a game of marginal gains. In a mini-tournament with a sudden-death structure, the loss of even ONE training session is catastrophic. Specialized tactical drills, pressing transitions, fine-tuning of set-piece routines etc, these are not things we can perfect in just under 24 hours. At this point, any immediate payment solution is only for the team to show up physically. It will not restore the lost rhythm, or the crucial collective muscle memory that we need now of all times. In high-stakes knockout football, tactical preparation lost 48 hours before kick-off is lost forever.

Sadly, this boycott won't accomplish much in the long run. No immediate, emergency payment can restore credibility. The NFF has already perfected a poisonous operational cycle: delay payment until the last possible moment, force the players into industrial action, resolve the crisis with a rush of emergency funds, and then retreat back into systemic delinquency until the next high-stakes tournament forces a repeat performance.

People who've watched Nigerian football since the 90s can attest to this.

Decisive action must be taken. No more negotiations. We must drastically restructure the NFF by any means. Gusau, Eguavoen, and the rest of those charlatans - their days are numbered.

yinkeys:
Chrisantus Uche should find a way to go on loan in January
Palace is just ridiculous

QueenJazz:
Osimhen isn't in camp yet despite rushing to his flight from Turkey.

mekabuachi:

Meliforme:
Akinsanmiro should be starting in our midfield when available.
I see no reason why he shouldn't

TheSuperNerd:

mekabuachi:

Part of the he South African referees are probably going to be incharge of VAR too.. so🤷

mekabuachi:
south Africans on Facebook are saying Nigeria would never win Gabon, following the appointment of the referees (from south Africa)... Omo nawa ooh😒

Truidstarr:
Wish Osimhen all the best oooo. Hopefully he will shine in the Champions League and show all the "Big" Clubs what they are missing out on.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
U lied bro not this present lookman.
Whats keeping lookman in the team today is APOTY.
A good coach with good tecknical ability will bench lookman in S.E especially after these qualifiers and how it panned out.

charlesemeka85:
