‘who are not better than what we have locally‘ but when they give una Finidi na swear una use chase am comot

Na Finidi swear for himself, killed the momentum the team gathered after Afcon

maidaboi:
you are correct its just the terrible tag that I'm against

i can't pick any SE player at that tournament and discribe them as terrible, talk more of Osimhen. I see two extreme discription of Osimhen's performance at the Afcon. Terrible and our best player

elyte89:




Presently to me ,all of dem are rubbish in GWG COLORS till we gain dt confidence again to beat Rwanda 🇷🇼 and co …we Dey 2nd to d last ,we Dey argue here😏…minnows now dominate midfield play against us ..

Bro allow us argue so if someone comes here years later, the person will not be misinformed. We built an image or a momentum through that tournament, we had a fear factor, SE were more talked about even more than the host and winner of the tournament. Right now everything has crumble.

My Afcon best Super eagles performers....

1.Ademola Lookman...3 goals and wonderful assist for Osimhen against EG was great.He had a great tournament and came to the parties when we needed him most.He was wonderful against Angola and Cameroon.

2.Troost Ekong...3 goals,scored Ivory Coast twice,a decisive penalty against Ivory Coast and had a wonderful tournament that surprised fans.

3.Ola Aina....played RB and LB in the tournament and had performance that would be ed as the best by any eagles wingback in Afcon,though very average in the final.

4.Frank Onyenka...he was all over the field,worked his socks off with full energy,reminded fans of Onazi scintillating performance in Afcon 2013.It will take third eye to recognize Onyenka on the field.

5.Bassey Calvin...what a great tournament for the young lad.He did well in 3 man defence alongside Ekong and Ajayi and full of strength moving forward to complement Sanusi.

6.Stanley Nwabali...came in and gave us world class performance that have been eluding us in our goalkeeping department for a long time.He gave masterclass performance during penalty shootouts against SA.

7.Semi Ajayi....with Ekong and Bassey were on defensive all through the tournament based on Peseiro approached to our games.He formed a good understanding at the back with Ekong and Bassey.I rated the trio as the best cuz they did very well defensively.He was denied a goal against Cameroon.

8.Osimhen Victor...a goal in the tournament but worked for the team throughout and had a great performance against Cameroon, especially never die assist to Lookman speak volume of his class.

The team generally did well,hope we make it to WC.

nice take placing Aina, Onyeka and Osimhen was a difficult one for me, I even forgot Ajayi ☺️

Bannedlargejr:


If lookman wasn’t our best player at Afcon who was? Ekong? Osimhen? , who was Nigeria best player at Aston 2024??

For me, my ranking of Nigeria best performance
1.Ekong
2 Lookman
3.Onyeka
4 Osimhen.
5.nwabali
6.Aina
7.Bassey
Then the rest
The whole team gave their all, but looking at Caf listing you can draw your conclusion who has the best performance.
Same tournament that see Ekong listed among Best defenders?

elyte89:



Dessers movement and positioning off d ball is better Dan all of our strikers presently ,d few times have watched him but. If he sees such chances of 10,he would barely convert 3 into goals ,he loses goal scoring chances

However super eagles of today don’t need such a striker ,we want those who will convert those chances as it comes ..at least 8 out of ten,

And which present striker in SE including Osimhen convert 8/10. Abi when it comes to Dessers the bar is raised.

Subzerooo:


Wait is Dessers no longer playing in the Scottish league, Rangers fans see him as the second coming of the devil, what would he offer to the SE when we are battling crucial qualifiers when he is not of the level required?

So if you are coach in a world cup qualifier you play Dessers ahead of Boniface because he scores 2 after every intermediate drought, put Dessers in a Bayern Leverkusen team and put Boniface in a Rangers team and reevaluate lol

we have seen both in the SE team and Dessers is better, the records speak for himself

opes:
Maybe if Osimhen had taken the penalties he won and score them, people wouldnt have talked much of Ekong..

Do you know I also use same take when people criticise Kanu of not having an Afcon goal. IF he has taken the penalties he won.... 🤔

DeloitteNG:
Boniface will come through
I believe he will

After how many match, but you don't believe Dessers will come through even with more goals and less minutes than Boniface

DeloitteNG:
Imagine say Dessers lead our line for Afcon you think say we for smell finals
Abi nor be the same Dessers we see against Mali
Dessers, sadiq, Onuachu and Awoniyi na the same WhatsApp group them dey
We should move away from these people

Which whatsapp group Boniface dey.

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

outside Osimhen, which other striker don click, na Boniface abi Sadiq or Awoniyi.

kedeojo:
Same way he was igbos favorite until when he didn't Obi their kinsman for presidency. Igbos were at the forefront as the number one fan of Wike back then, just because he was fighting Buhari and Apc who igbos don't like. Una no they get shame at all. Nzogbu nzogbu

You are wrong, igbos stop ing Wike after the killing in oyigbo. The whole rivers people was against wike for Apc, reason why they could only rewrite the result at inec office.

TheSuperNerd:
🔴🎶 “You’re getting sacked in the morning”, Liverpool fans are chanting…

…and Pep Guardiola replies by showing them number 6, his Premier League titles as Manchester City coach 🔵6️⃣




The EPL is wild🤣🤣🤣🤣

Someone said 'Pep is in his Mourinho era 😂'

Sugarboyy:
The earlier Man City fans tells themselves the truth that most of their players aren't just good enough, the better it will be for them.

when we tell them Doku is an overhyped Simon moses them argue.

Mujtahida:

We have not transitioned to that level of efficiency

Abeg make dy transition fast, I'm tired of seeing us playing without coordination.

Mujtahida:

Modern football has shifted the emphasis from the creative number 10s we used to know to DMs. Till today I was shocked when Kante was the rave. I was like what's happening? Shows you where the emphasis lies today. Going to 6 years now our midfield is dominated by DMs

so how do other top countries use this same modern DM to dominate smaller countries. Abi na only us shift from creative MF

kentebemoney:

Oga you sef know say I dey talk about the last friendly game.

Bros I know say na the friendly you dy talk, but no be friendly match make us dy para for this current eagles players

BankyGee:

E no tire you? 😂

Losing to Rwanda now na contingency plan towards World Cup qualifiers

Baba the thing weak me, for like 20mins I just hold phone dy look the post.

kentebemoney:

The Atlanta 96 team lost to Togo B4 winning gold, the last afcon team was playing nonsense B4 the tournament. AE is a competent coach, you can't win all the time. Infact it's better we lost the last match to Rwanda, it set's the tone for our next meeting.
Keep calm!!! Na Nigerians go make Nigeria great.
If we can't ourselves let's just sell our country.

which kind children talk be this 😂 😂
The Atlanta 96 team did not lose any qualification game.

Odunayaw:
But una go still carry sticks and stones when a funny name and club shows up and drops a stinker

yes oh, not when we already have trusted defenders that did very well in the last Afcon, the next thing is to invite a defender for Ihefu fc, that's not what the team need at that time. Get us a good midfielder from ihefu fc nobody go stone am.

Goke7:


It’s even more sad when you look at the quality of opposition we have in our group for both Afcon and wcq. I feel so ashamed when I look at other groups perhaps we should getting tougher opponents may be that can wake up the team.

the group Rohr qualified us from was way tougher where you have cameroun, Zambia and Algeria. Four games against teams far below us on fifa rank, 3draw and 1 lose.

jihday:
yes if he’ll make us better, so which midfielder doing well in a league outside the top 5 do you know?

Bro na the job of the coach to search for better players to boast his team. Even if I mentionba player in the local league it still won't change anything.

elyte89:



What jihday refuse to realise is that we don’t even dominate d midfield aspect anymore against this so called minnows …dt thing Dey vex me ,aw can we be lobbing the ball against country like Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Benin 🇧🇯.

You get the point, let's play well first especially against this smaller team, when we play rubbish we defend it by saying no more minnows in Africa

jihday:
if you need Mikel and Okocha to beat Rwanda then we need to take a second look at the coach, can’t imagine Guardiola blaming their current run of form on Rodri’s injury

Oga I'm not even talking about beating this team, I'm talking about dictating play.
For the second part, Guardiola can't say it but that's what fans and football commentators are saying.

jihday:
or maybe we don’t have a good coach

Ever since Mikel retires we stop having good coaches.

jihday:
yes, we’ve tried both the one in SA is calmer 🤷🏿‍♂️

So you agree we can get a midfielder outside the top5 league who's better than what we have now.

BankyGee:

How does playing for AC Milan make you the best all of a sudden? Okoye plays for Udinese but somehow we all prefer Stanley Nwabali to him, you think club side and national teams are the same thing?

Thank God you said they're using their "best" players. I don't think we're using our best players in EVERY position, we have the best in some positions already, not all. We don't even have a solid bench. Our bench players couldn't beat Rwanda lol...

By his take our best goalkeeper should be Okoye, imagine training so hard to become Udinese, a club in a top5 league 1st choice. Rather we are using a south africa based goalkeeper who wasn't even the best while in the Nigerian league

jihday:
any coach who’s thinks it’s the skill set of a player warming bench in England division 3 is the answer I’m sure he can find same in our local league. This guy have been walking about from holland to Spain to Portugal now to England all these coaches don’t think he’s the answer to their midfield but you think he can be the answer to one of Africa’s biggest team okay o

Bro that coach should find that answer in the local league it will be better. When we had goalkeeper crisis, we all clamour for our coaches to search inward, but the problem we have is that even when they come local they don't go for the best, like going for Ojo who was a 3rd choice goalkeeper at that time and leaving more outstanding goalkeepers. You realise that they are not even sincere.

jihday:
Onyeka Onyedika Ndidi Iwobi Fisayo, this midfield is more than decent we just need a good coach to get the best out of them

A midfield that can not dictate or control a game even against smaller countries?
Imagine have Mikel or JayJay in our midfield, do you think Ekong will be lobbing the ball like he usually does, because the midfielders we have can't do it, they only know how to tackle and maybe chase the ball.

jihday:
maybe because that’s the best they can boast of, our keeper plays in South Africa because that’s the best we can boast of

so you can't boast of the one in the top5 league again, Udinese

Truidstarr:
The England, Spain, , 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.

Bro the your response is off, where do you expect them to get their players from, they pick most of their players from their local league which is what the the Brazilian fa is pushing for.

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 too but trying to make players playing in lower leagues seem like toys na just anyhow reasoning. Too many cooks spoil the broth 🙃

Especially when the team is lagging in a particular position like the midfield, instead of going for a player that best suit that position even if he plays outside the top5 league but no we look for any midfielder in the top5 not minding the midfield position and force him to play.
