Do you know that Ghana is ranked as slight favourites to win the first leg of the playoffs. I looked at our defense line and all I could see is mediocrity. None of the defenders have played active football in the last 2months for their club sides except Calvin bassey (who would most likely would be benched), and Sanusi. Are players like abdullahi shehu, balogun, ekong, with unfit omeruoand match rusty etebo the most in-form footballers Nigeria can come up with? Now the only player close to world class in our squad Ndidi is out. I hope people won't be disappointed after the game

shut up games are not won by player stats. The same defenders you’re shouting conceded only 1 goal from open play at AFCON. We have very good players like osimen,lookman,Dennis,aribo,ihenacho etc.

komekn:


I am looking at his form in the lesgyits just simply very average and not outstanding admittedly his club his relegation bound and struggling.

In this regard nothing to rave about.

Watford is relegation bound and there is etebo who hasn't kicked a ball this year also getting a call up. If you say his form for club is very average then I wonder why he has started 7 straight matches for them....bonke can replace Ndidi in that DM position

nelszx:

It will take less than 24 hours to break down this Ghana team. Player for player, strength and weaknesses of every player

and most of the players if not all of them would be meeting their coaching crew for the first time...it's going to be an heculean task for them to win

Nacho has greatly improved lately. His work rate and all round play has been impressive lately. The Nacho I've watched since socoring against Rennes hasn't scored in three subsequent games but his hold up play and link up play are much more better to watch lately. The goals will come sooner

I thought u were going to drop the names of the world class defenders the coaches failed to invite!!!
Instead of making empty noise!!!

Football doesn't work that way, they are not meeting him the first time, he has been a backroom staff for a while now.
Before our game against Egypt most of the players were meeting AE for the first time too and they gave a good account of themselves.

Chukwueze to me might be caged in this game. I'll play Dennis in his stead simply for ruggedness and grit. As the game wears out like 65 mins Chuks can come in and terrorize the defences after Dennis must have run them rugged

My preferred formation(4-2-3-1)

Mousup40:
true,iheanacho should not start.

I support this too, especially as No Ndidi. That Midfield must choke.

Una too dey insult person. Wetin na. Allow the opinion and face it square without insults. Abi overconfidence never show you tests scores? Abeg o.

Blueelf:


Pep is overrated

He won't have done the same thing Klopp is doing with Liverpool

Also, Grealish has flopped so far. Klopp just donated 100m to the Aston Villa Charity

It's amazing how casually we use the word flop and with a double standard.

I don't think he has FLOPPED, what were the expectations on him in the first place.

He has left Aston Villa where he was the center piece of the team. With license to do ehatebyhr likes. Things have changed he is no longer the big fish in the small pond. He will have to adapt, adjust and overcome.

Look at Messi in PSG you could say he had FLOPPED too, he is no longer the centre of attention and where the whole team is set up for him to thrive.

If we said on this forum that KC has FLOPPED there will be hell fire and brimstone. If we said Omeruo after being bought by Chelsea even playing in the Championship but unable to progress has FLOPPED or Awaziem after going to Porto couldn't progress even after time in French League had FLOPPED now in the backwaters of Turkish league. Let's not even talk of Nwakali there will be continued rancour and contention and the allegations of HATE.

If we don't make it to the world cup I fit cry o

Subzero47:


His lack of confidence makes me jittery too, imagine what it does to the defenders

He was part of a catalogue of errors that resulted in a goal, it was a one mistake but you guys want to crucify him.

Uzoho by club form is considerably below him , Okoye is the best goalkeeper we have like it or not.

Danielnino00:


If e pain you, just drink some cold water...
All those players in the championship haven't done anything to justify a call up either...
No matter how much you try to hype the championship,it is still a second division league!

The Championship is considerably better than the Scottish League that's a statement of fact .

Scottish League is rated number 9 in Europe.

Danielnino00:

Let him learn how to walk first before you ask him to run.... He's on the right track so far....

You don't learn how to walk on a sprinting track.

I did a video on 15 players missing from the Super Eagles squad. Feel free to check it out

The reality is we have problems because Etebo should not be getting a call up too.

Ghana's afcon stat reads 5 goals conceded in 3 matches. All open play.
Nigeria played 4 games and conceded 2 goals. One open play and the other penalty. You are worried about the wrong defense. Bad defense isn't something that goes away in the face of rivalry. Make them just allow that okoye pro max keep for them on Friday. We go too score goals for kumasi

After 19 games he has scored 2 goals in the EPL, if that's your measurement for improvement then I'm totally lost

Chukwueze should play 2nd half. E get why .

The story seem cooked up by that journalist to get Nigerians to dislike Dennis.

How many minutes did he play at those 19 games? Where were you when he was Leicester top scorer in all competitions last season despite playing lesser games than his strikers?
