BascoVanVeli:



Lol it was just a joke ooo Charlesemeka85 I love u bro. Just had to let u know I got jokes too

Na which formation u wan play na. I hope u get the personnel?

typicalgamer:


Wtf is this shitty formation ??

Who plays basic 4-3-3 in modern day soccer this ain’t 2012

My friend you better tweak that formation or Nigeria will suffer badly

Super eagles that can’t hold possession for 30secs
Or soak in pressure you want them to play 433 well done 😂

When Pinnick dey rub body with the family Tammy no give am word then?

Pinnick talk too mush sha I agree. But those boys always give us hope and leave us hanging while waiting for the other country.

BascoVanVeli:


Tammy didn't do a single thing wrong. It was Pinnick that said it was a done deal before even talking to the boy.

The only player I look at with bombastic side eye is that Eze. The dude actually trained with the team then all of a sudden he doesn't know us.

It’s stats but strength of the league and other factors are taking into consideration in that SofaScore comparison.

typicalgamer:


Are you pushing a narrative here ?

You do know that football is more than stats right ?
This is not basketball where stats shows the little details

If we go by starts Paul onuachu would be our greatest player of this generation so rest my guy

charlesemeka85:
I watch Middlesbrough games last season and without the goals Akpom is just ordinary. Even the goals no dey spectacular self. Normal headed and tap in goals with some pk

Nothing special

Oga Charles do you really played the game cuz goal scoring is not that easy,ask Yakubu Aiyegbeni against South Korea who failed to score tap in.

ChrisKels:
Felix is better than Akpoguma and Torunarigha but he is injury prone due to his style of play, so he is not worth going for.

Felix is like Balogun when it comes to injury so we can still have him if he is ready.I would be happy seeing Felix and Adarabioyo playing for us.

this view is crazy!!!
it was an intelligent placement, not just hitting the ball with brawl rather brain
with 2 defenders covering almost the available space to target he was able to bend the ball past them to hit the target
football sense too much for Rodri

this is what we expect from Ndidi not only interupting flow of pass but venturing forward to do the damage
said this long ago that Ndidi needs to leave Leicester cuz he had hit his peak but refusing to leave at the right moment has made him decline in quality. He needs to mingle with minds of better quality of football sense and thinking

Most unreal view of Rodri's goal. Mad

idk sha.that ball entered because Chahanoglu moved to the wrong side. But you are correct about ndidi Sha. Ndidi would have never hit the ball with the side of his boot. I'm not sure there is still hope for ndidi.

rather i think the error came from demaco who made a wrong move to allow benardo space to run into
such tight and close match is always won with a moment of wrong placement and loss of concentration
Inter played so well that City had to dig very deep to get over them
kudos to Inzagi and lads

The only player I look at with bombastic side eye is that Eze. The dude actually trained with the team then all of a sudden he doesn't know us.

Eze trained with the team, March 2017 and would have probably played in the friendly against Burkina Faso.

And the what did they the NFF do completely forgot him for two years, that doesn't make sense. And he started to blow and all of a sudden two years later they remembered him.

At the same time he was being ignored for two year's they invited the best Midfielder, Nwakali in the world for two inconsequential friendly against Liberia and Athletic Madrid.

What was the NFF waiting for 🤔 settlement ❓ There too many games he could have invited for in 2017 but he was ignored. But Shehu, and other mediocre players were invited .

Eze was on loan at Wycombe Wanderers and not really known yet. He didn't finish the season at Wycombe Wanderers but was recalled to QPR first team. The rest is history now an England international and wanted by top clubs in the EPL.

Joebie:
True definition of waste man

Waste man Onyedinma is going to be playing in the EPL and the statistics based world 🌎 class Midfielder Nwakali is playing semi professional football in Tercera division.

When a team does well you participate in the accolades, glory and benefits as a team member.

When a team does abysmally poor your receive your due rewards relegation, castigation and condemnation.

You fail to realise that making comparison of players statistics in different league and clubs is futile. There are too many disparities in quality, intensity, style of play etc to make conclusion.

No matter the statistics you would not call a player in the NPFL exceptional talent, because of the quality of the league.

It's apparently clear that many here do not know how poor quality the Segunda division is

I would put a bet of millions of naira that Bendel insurance will flog Ponferradina Enyimba is too much for them that will be overkill.
