Napoleon55:

I don't have power to engage on baseless arguments.

Real Madrid has more champions league trophy than your best 10 premier league clubs combined and u are here shouting "EPL is far and away the best league"
If something is far and away better,it means it's better by considerable large margin, how is it so compared to La Liga and Serie a?
If they are far better,they should be dominating every other clubs from other leagues whenever they meet.

EPL is considered best now does not mean it's going to remain so in few years to come,or that they were the best few years ago.

Na you no know the difference between best team and best league and you are talking about baseless argument, go and check uefa league coefficients and revisit your post and see if you made any sense

Samueltemi337:


8 serie a teams played in Europe last season and you just said you can't get it anywhere else 😒

7 serie a teams participated in Europe last season

Napoleon55:

I don't even know what to say to u for the bolded, where were u when the argument was heating up whether he is to go to Saudi Arabia or stay in Europe?
Now u are advising him to go to Saudi he has rejected instead of playing for Juventus, because for u is going backwards.

And if premier is far better than other leagues, why is it that none of the premier league clubs played in the just concluded champions league finals?

EPL is by far the most annoyingly over rated league of all times.

Epl is the best league in the world man, more exposure,stronger teams, 8 teams playing in Europe you won't get it anywhere else and your claim about no Epl team playing in the final is ignorant because Uefa coefficient is a better way of ranking leagues and Epl is far and away the best league, I want Osimhen to reject Saudi Arabia but that does not mean that I would be happy with a sideways or a backwards move.

marvin906:



This the issue I have with some of you the way you worship the epl like if a player doesn't play there they haven't achieved anything tell me a realistic club in the epl that will pay Osimhen wage

Osimhen is not demanding much, I'm not sure Osimhen is demanding up to 200k that Man U wants to pay Mbuemo and for the fact that Osimhen rejected almost 800k in the Saudi league shows that he is not all about money so if Man U or Liverpool offers something similar he will go, and Epl is the league FAR better than other leagues at the moment, better exposure, better competition, better prestige, don't we want the best for Osimhen again? , if he settles at Gala or goes to Juve that is a backwards or sideways movement it's better that he gets the Saudi money instead

marvin906:



Why so obsessed with the epl what epl club needs a striker at the moment and ate willing to spend the money, it's only gala and jive that's on the table now

Epl is the best league in the world duh and with good negotiations he can get a good epl team like Man U, why would I want him to go to Juve or Gala what is there to achieve that he has not already done

Samueltemi337:


Howfar?

Good decision, next is negotiations to move to the Epl

Bournemouth interested in Christantus Uche

I feel like Osimhen would have taken better decisions if he was educated

.

Benjamin Fredrick, Felix Agu, Christantus Uche, Igho Ogbu Chelle has been handed additional weapons to boost the GWG team, I would say the unity cup and friendly has been a success

Daninya33:
Here are my recommendation after watching today's game.

Ekong,Ajayi,Bruno and Osayi should be dropped going forward. Both CBs were sluggish today.I am not convinced with our RB and LB today.
Fredrick Benjamin,Igoh,AINA and Bassey should be our defenders going forward.

Our midfield trio should be Ndidi/Onyeka/Onyedika,Bashiru/ Iwobi, Uche.

Would love to see Ejuke invited to add width to our flank.
Simon Moses can't even dribble his marker,low budget Doku. I can't even him beating his marker.
Nathan Tella is no the current wingers we have.

My top 3 strikers for the SE are VO9, Dessers and Tolu.

I will pick Okoye as my number 1.
He deserves it.

I agree with most of your writeup but why does Okoye deserve the no1 shirt ahead of Nwakali?

One of my proudest predictions yet

Lol you could see this from a mile away, next defensive error from Ekong or Okoye bingo

The rascality of the NFF amuses me, how can you have a match like this but you can't provide a working link for 200m of your population to , tufiakwa!

joelsteron:
Comfortable win for SE

Solid midfield, error prone defence & goalkeeper

Samueltemi337:
Starting XI according to owngoalnigeria

Okoye
Osayi-Samuel
Bruno
Ajayi
Ekong
Onyedika
Uche
Simon
Arokodare
Boniface
Dele-Bashiru

Another day for Ekong to remind us that he has outlived his usefulness in the GWG, I hope Eric Chelle is a fast learner

What's up with Ademola Lookman, he choose the wrong time of the season to cool down

Daninya33:
Leon Balogun is a old war horse.
He is not tired hence his non retirement from the round leather game.
Eric Chelle, hope you have your note pads?, take notes please.

See I'm Balogun's number one fan in this thread but if we are going back to Balogun in 2025 it means that there is something seriously wrong with the SE

In all these formation you are drawing, if Ndidi is still your starting dm against South Africa you are going nowhere

yinkeys:
Top South African league football team - Sundown is better than some Belgium league teams
I said it

Sundowns will be top half in the Belgian league

Samueltemi337:


"Nwakali is more important to the Super Eagles"

😂 Okay

Gaffe of the year already

Mujtahida:

My brother, I wasn't comfortable seeing him. play Aina on the left even in the first match. Aina is the best RB in the EPL for God's sake. Why short change him just so you can play a mediocre Osayi on the right? Well as Aina gave an assist on the left, na so Osayi assisted Zimbabwe on the right.

yinkeys:

Can he distribute long balls like Ekong does
Can he build from the back like Ekong does ?
Can he pose serious threats to the opposition in setpieces?
We need our best legs ready in September
Time will tell

I don’t know if this is sarcasm but Ekong being good on the ball is such a myth because if you watch him for a full match his long balls are horrendously inaccurate, There is nothing Ekong can give us that will not be replaced by any of our young defenders in addition to athleticism and speed

joelsteron:
Trust me, our boys will get the job done with better defenders. The team could shake things up by introducing Onyedika’s relentless energy, Nwakali’s flair and vision, and Iwobi’s adaptability into the starting lineup, while benching Ndidi to bring a new spark to the midfield and give him a breather after his recent intense performances. Chelle should try this combination during those friendly games.

Almost every team out there is hoping and praying for a chance to face the Super Eagles and beat us. If that’s not the case, then why are players openly calling for Leon Balogun’s return? It’s a clear sign that our current defenders—aside from Aina—are mediocre at best.
Even then, I don’t rate Aina too highly because he can be unpredictable and sloppy whenever he feels like it, which leaves us vulnerable at the back.

Nwakali in 2025, are we moving forwards or backwards

Odunayaw:
Make I save this thing.

Na always building

Lol it's not like I'm betting against my team o, but I know what I'm seeing

Lol South Africa started building what we are seeing before the last Afcon, even during the Afcon you could see their progress, forget SA has gone beyond beyond Nigeria and the full result of what they are building will come in the next world cup

One change that would have helped Chelle a lot would have been one of the young defenders for Ekong because we had several opportunities to push up and trap our opponents over the two games but Ekong retreats afraid of the space behind him thereby giving our opponents breathing space, that also explains the space in midfield because Osimhen presses tight to the defenders, Ekong retreats behind the center line leaving a lot of space for Chukwueze, Iwobi and Ndidi to man, Chai I'm so down

Subzerooo:
Why are they not even pushing up?

.

The reason we couldn't push up a highline to suffocate the Zimbabweans after their equalizer was because Ekong was afraid of a run in behind him btw

Samueltemi337:


Una don start
As usual

I called it even before the qualifiers, Ndidi's level dipped below SE quality even before the Afcon
