Stanley Nwabili should replace Andre Onana at man United

Far far better than Onana. This guy should be in a top league this summer

charlesemeka85:
So na like this Nwabali take bite hand wey dey feed am?🤔

If the hands wear gloves 🧤 Dem no go feel the pain too 😂

BankyGee:

I swear, make we play team like Iran or South Korea wey dey above us for rankings but dey beatable, rankings go boost 📈

Honestly, now that they are flopping

He still has rouge edges though. That free kick he saved in the dying minutes is the second of such in this tournament and thankfully we weren't punished. While he's quite confident, I feel his reflexes and anticipation needs some work. There was a South African shot that wasn't far off from the goal post but I didn't see him make a dive, thankfully it didn't result into a goal.

After all said and done, he has absolutely done excellently, would like to see what Osayi and Nwoke also have to offer.

You get exactly what I'm talking about 💯

daveP:
In this KO stage, Osimhen had a dozen cross and nod chances but didn't bury 1. Most were high when he should be nodding downwards. I want to see he and iwobi on the scoresheets in this final. It will be sweet. No midfielder has scored so far. But Defender and Forwards have scored.

funny thing is that the only goal he has scored, he headed downwards

That turn and shoot would have left even Buffon rooted to the spot. Anticipate kini?

But yes he ought to work on parrying the ball somewhere else. Safe to say we have at least 5 solid years with him

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Peseiro. Thanks for reacting early in that game. Thanks for seeing that Alex was a burden and SA was using the space he wasn't closing down. Now that we have been found out. Can you possibly switch to 4:2:3:1 in the final game?? Alhasssan & Onyeka to screen the DF, while Iwobi plays behind the CF? Or do we stick to our formation with Onyeka & Yusuf??. Also remember that Osihmen is no longer running on full capacity.

Civ will outplay us if we switch to 4231. I believe sticking with the formation is the right step since they have been getting result with it. Of course lessons will be learnt. Mind you SA is a compact team in fact a club so they know themselves besides yesterday apart from first half, I didn't see much the southafricans were doing. Yes they played well(that team na almost memeoldi sundown, I expected it) . My suggestion:stick with the formation with alhassan and onyeka, then Iwobi for moses this will give him freedom and make him closer to osihmen and Lookman. Or maybe introduce Iwobi later for moses. Civ will try to play aggressively.

Well said sire.

BankyGee:

Two things that eases my pressure when we're playing games
1. If camera zooms Ekong's face.
2. If Nwabali shine teeth 😤

My mind go just calm 😮‍💨
Immediately Nwabali shine teeth yesterday, everybody for viewing centre stand up begin clap 👏🏾😂😂

The passion for Super Eagles is slowly coming back ooh

It is like saying they would crown Alvarez/Martinez the best player at the World Cup when Messi is more deserving? Blasphemy! Don't say this again!

lovewins:


Ekong is also a strong contender. Except Osimhen scores in the finals he unfortunately may not get the votes even though he's obviously deserving.

DissTroy:
Most of you don't realize it but Ekong, our captain's name, literally means "war" in his native Ibibio language.

Na im be "Uko ke Ekong". 😎😎

Chiamaka Nnadozie 🤝🏾 Stanley Nwabali

It's safe to say our both national team goalies are the best on the continent! 🔥🇳🇬💚
Osimhen and Oshoala did it last year, Chiamaka and Nwabali this year 😤🧤

maidaboi:

Sharp ✅

But personally, my passion been no go anywhere. Win or lose we d!e here 😬
Glad the Eagles 🦅 have found their wings!

Omo, if we win sha.

Imagine something like "Ademola Lookman has more international trophies than Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane together.

TheSuperNerd:
Amazing how this is one of the questions I have been racking my brains about since the round of 16.

Onyeka is currently unbenchable as far as the 343 system is concerned. He is the spine of that middle.

Interesting how a change of system can finally bring out the best in a player. Tailor made for the 343, this Onyeka.

Iwobi rather even struggled a bit vs SA but Onyeka shone and shone.

perhaps we can recreate the ndidi-etebo-iwobi midfield. Onyeka takes etebo's place.

I really wish we are playing another country in the final.

It took me the 2004 AFCON quarter final win to stop the hate on Cameroonians after that 2000 final escapade.

Hosting and losing the finals is something that can...

That AFCON 2000 loss still lingers...

I really want the Super Eagles to win. Also, I don't want a great host like the Ivorians to feel the pain of ...

It is going to be a very difficult final for both nation.
It will be a fight till death!
It will be 11-10 penalty win for ...

Nwabali's reflexes and defence organizational skills are great. But one weakness that may deter really big teams from coming for him is his ball distribution, especially in long pull-outs.

I counted at least three pull-outs from him that went straight into the throw-in.

Technically-minded teams want GKs who can not only stop shots but also distribute the ball well.

You guys worry and complain too much
Makes one wonder how some of you are in real life

With all their flaws, shey Onana and Mendy no play for big clubs?

Abeg leave story!

andrewbaba44:

Ekong is easily player of the tournament if we win on Sunday

I don’t think osimhen goal can change that

When we win on Sunday and Osimhen scores Na Osimhen Caf go give

Epl legend with nothing to show for

Person wey geremi njitap get better epl legacy pass yet Nigerians no go let us hear word

Legend una

Gerard, carragher didn't win a single league title yet they are considered legend. If his performance was not good enough he wouldn't still be rated in the epl till now.

How JPes transformed into a world class tactician needs to be studied o
Man has been dropping class on and off the pitch

..

So let's discuss how we'll structure the midfield with young blood

Pls don't mention Nwakali. Not cos of anything but cos no be ONLY HIM waka come. So let's gather potential names that may become the new guys over the next decade. FBs one side. Homebased one side. 🙌🏿🙌🏿

Goke7:

Irony was that ball was high too but he rose high and sent it downwards.

I swear. And off the pitch, he knows how to talk. Baba no dey brag, he doesn't underestimate opponents and he doesn't overrate them at the same time. He can reply stupid questions from journalists and lastly...


Make he continue dey wear suit for all our matches...

lbrichman2:
..

the man was probably sabotaging us because NFF were late with his salaries and I understand his decision to go after the afcon. The constant delay of his salaries must have been too much to bear that he decided to leave. An afcon title will be a nice look on his resume. This will definitely increase his pay rate and during negotiations with the NFF after the afcon he will try to negotiate for ways he will be paid more and without delay and if they can't provide him such assurance, it will be our loss cos there are lots of countries that are looking for an afcon winning coach.

dude is not in the best of form make we no lie but a half fit oshimen is still our best striker
