Wetin the guy do again? Im no dey try ni? You ingrates...

When last did Chukweze and Lookman have a good game in SE?

All the Lookamans and the Chukwezes wey get higher profile wey una pack full team u no see dem criticize. Have they not neen worse than him? Nawa o

i think the guy is right. Moses is just like Sterling in Chelsea very annoying player but still more effective than the other wingers. Moses should be one of the oldest in the team, people expect a more mature play from him.

The Eagles have Landed 😘😁😎❤️

this their attire resemble something Musa go sponsor sew for all of them.

we play on Sunday. Even at that, the fact that it was a late call up meant we disrupted their team plans so it's only fair they hold him till Saturday. If only we had some home based in the preliminary squad, we wouldn't have been in worry at all. PJ's reluctance to include new players into the team would be his downfall. It may seem like praying bad for us but I don't want pj to win this nations cup for us. The way afcon is, you don't necessarily need to be the best to win it. A really crazy streak of luck is enough to win it. Pj winning it would mean he continues and it would only mean we would continue to go backward.

i can't recall any Afcon SE have won by been lucky rather we have always been the unlucky team at semi-finals and finals. The present SE even lack the passion and fighting spirit SE are known for

Then why is he still at Royal Antwerp in the Belgium league.

Why didn't Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United see him or na only to get eye 👀.

this guy knows what he's doing most of his response are very predictable. I now find them very funny

Sugarboyy:
My brother, them wan use lies kill us for this thread.
Every one of them claiming to have watched players not playing in the top 5 leagues, then you ask yourself, where are the watching these guys?
I have DStv both in my home and my office and DStv doesn't shows league matches except it's from EPL, La liga, Serial A, and the choose important matches in other top countries(mostly Eredivisie) to show on ESPN. This season, DStv has never showed Royal Antwerp match, so where are these guys watching players like Ejuke in a 90min matches when it's not the UCL, EUL or the ECL?

You are not totally correct. I watched Antwerp match vs anderlecht last month on espn match ended 1-1

Danielnino00:
I don't even agree with the notion that fans are underestimating the team. The team has been largely unconvincing under Peseiro, and nothing seems to be getting better.
I remember Randy Waldrum was not liked by most fans before the women's World Cup, and rightly so, because the man was doing all sorts of nonsense experiments with the team. But prior to the World Cup, his team started to get better, and he was getting his tactics and selection right. That improvement extended to the World Cup.
But with Peseiro, I can't see any sign of improvement yet.
I pray I'm wrong, though.

fans are complaining about our poor friendly match record under peseiro and someone is showing past record of how Nigeria lost their first match in Afcon and went on to perform miracle.

Papi85:

Abi na me no sabi math's from the writeup I can count 11goals

mowah:
Sadiq might not be a baller, but he can do magic

ena don come again not a baller but can do magic, how.

Marjoribanks:
It was a short moment of brillance, I saw during the game which might not appear on highlights! Moffi did nothing substantial for 70 minutes! Nothing! None deserves that last sport than Sadiq at the moment.
I have been an ardent critique of Sadiq on this platform. I give my analysis devoid of sentiment!

i don't think I'm against him being in the squad if the coach want to go with seven strickers. What caught my attention was when you use the word brillant and skillful to discribe Sadiq.

Marjoribanks:
If I am Paserio too, I would wait for Kelechi! He saved his ass against Zimbabwe!
Dessers is one of Rangers worst player
Akor hasn't scored in almost 2 months
Orban has no league goals in 3 months
Akpom unfamiliar with African football
Moffi has not been impressive in the SE jersey. He always look out of place on the field!

Paserio made the right choice in attack. Asper Nwakali, I agree with you!

Yea kc is one player I think will always come out with a brilliant moment in a game.

Marjoribanks:
Go and rewatch Nigeria vs Zimbabwe again! If you are devoid of sentiment you would see the changes he brought to our attack immediately he came on!

Bro, with what just said even though I watch the match I had to go back to watch the highlights again. Bro they was nothing brilliant nor skill about Sadiq in that game. None of our players was even brilliant talk more of calling Sadiq. Sadiq is just there as a football, can hardly be a first team player or a player you rely on. If anything comes out from him, good and fine. But I didn't there's anything brilliant or skillful about his game

Philosopher1979:
Well, they may hit form.
Class is temporary but form is permanent.
If the musa of the 2018 world cup and 2016 to 2020 can come back again then we are good to go.
If the skillfull briliant Sadiq Umar comes back again then its okay. At least he is playing regularly for his club
Maybe the coach can see something in training.
Let us wait and see but i doubt it.
Talent is talent and a talented player might rise to the occasion. It happens in football.

How can you mention Sadiq with skillful and brilliant. Which match has he played for Nigeria where he show skills and brilliance.

Curtisaxel10:
Lol, I remember most people felt the same way when we sacked Rohr close to the last AFCON. Until Eguavoen shocked everybody 😊.

The truth is that AFCONs aren't predictable. You can have the best players and organization and fail woefully. And vice versa.

Let's keep an open mind and see how it goes.

AFCON is unpredictable, yes but I don't agree with the vice versa, you can't come with the worst players and organisation and win. Let's not encourage mediocrity. Happy new year

Some stats are widely available because they are public information and not hidden.

We say in Warri , "Na money kill beta Soup"

It's also said among the British, You get what you pay for.

Many again prefer the delusional fantasy over established facts truths and convention. The best players cost money 🤑 it's simple. Poor players cost less and the poorest get paid very poorly.

Below is the average weekly wage bill €3392 for Chavez FC , the highest paid player is Rúben Ribeiro (Attacking Midfield) at €11,154 per week. Just his salary impact on that average weekly salary significantly.

It means there are players on less than €1k a week in Chávez FC, in a Portuguese premier League team, that tells you something about Chavez as well as the league they play in.🤔

I have compared the average salary of Chavez with Bradford FC an English League two team. Not a team in league one or the Championship, but the lowly English League Two.

Using Bradford City FC as a comparison see below and the difference seems academic, not much difference. That tells you a lot about the quality of the lower percentile of the Portuguese Premier league.

These stats are indicative of the low quality players in the lower half of the Portuguese league. I think that's self evident without being contentious.

Now tell me that Nwakali is an exceptional player, unless you want to be delusional and fantasy led by favouritism.

My statement never imply if nwakali is exceptional or not. You made a false statement as regard his wage(being the least paid in his club) and that of the club. I think you should clarify the house where you got those FACTS

Amedino99:
Lmao. So na more than one person get this iwobi for mind. I been dey think say na only on this thread people dey talk this kind thing.

But iwobi was not an England reject, I don't think he waited for England call up.

charlesemeka85:
because komekn spits facts whenever nwakali’s topic is raised here and the lad is yet to do anything to prove him wrong just like Osimhen and others he never rated hv done in the past few years

Small time now u go run bring out stats to justify why Nwakali is the second best midfielder in the world. The same stats that made folks like u believe that De Bruyne is better than Zizou 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

i believe you have seen the wage of Chaves team and nwakali precisely. We can conclude that what your elder brother is dropping here is far from fact. 😂

Marjoribanks:
Super Falcons was the best team in Africa in the year under review! Remember WAFCON was not considered!
As Nigerians we have to be adequately informed before shooting ourselves on the foot!

kk now I get since WAFCON was not put into consideration.

Marjoribanks:
Hope you all now understand that CAF award is based on individual performance at a very high level not necessarily team performance. I don't want to come here next year explaining things all over again! Ciao!

Congrats Victor, Oshoala, Nnadozie and Super Falcons! Absolutely deserving!

Super falcons winning best female team was a surprise to me. I feel south africa deserve it. My honest opinion.

Amedino99:
honors this past season.
Serie a highest goal scorer.
Serie a player of the month January and March 2023
Serie a best striker.
Afcon qualifiers top scorer.
Italian footballers association (AIC) serie a footballer of the year.
Serie a team of the year
Serie a title winner.
Ballon d'or 8th place
Vs fifa world cup 4th place, Ligue 1 team of the year and Ligue 1 title winner. In a sane society the winner is clear but then Africa has its ways of surprising us so let's wait and see.

i don't think it's an African thing, even world best most of the winners are debatable.

🇳🇬 Nigeria national team 2009

TheLoneCitizen:
No goal, no assist.

But for first time in career, broski had more chances created than dribbles completed.

i do see this guy like IK Uche kind of player.

Tobichimezie:
Not necessarily about population, maybe we don't have enough mobile data users compared to most African countries as we claim.

or should we be looking at the poverty rate in those countries campare to Nigeria. Personally I would want someone to convince me Nigeria population is upto 200 million. During election we see less than 30 million voters. During football match we hardly fill up the stadium.

noticed when it comes to voting by fan, Nigeria don't come close to north Africans even with our 200 million population.

elunico:
watch Onuachu's goal

Give me Onuachu over Sadiq any day.

Truidstar:
What you guys still don’t get is that at a Tournament anything can happen. The most inform and prepared teams leave in the first round. No hopers find themselves going all the way. It’s 50% preparation and 50% LUCK!!

Are you saying we shouldn't put all our mind on preparation. 50% preparation 50% prayer and fasting. Mbok tell me the anything that can happen, like Sudan 🇸🇩 coming from nowhere to win Afcon abi

elyte89:
He creates chances more Dan any striker we have but converts none …he’s a player dt can confuse any coach, wether to invite him or not

Create which chance, as in he can lay pass to himself or can dribble the whole defense line except the keeper. Sadiq is a low budget Peter crouch.

Truidstar:
There is something Jpes has seen that sadiq brings that we have not seen. Cut him some slack and see how it pans out.

Bro, Jpes has not seen anything, nothing. Sadiq add nothing to the team that other players can't do far better

BascoVanVeli:
Isaac Success is bullying AC Milan

Chai! Should have just scored. Great save

Boniface kind of player is what I thought Success would be.
