Joins Super Eagles
Joins Liverpool

What a big deal that will be. We still never get Nigerian playing at Liverpool till date. Iwobi was also last for Arsenal. As for Chelsea and Man U.

Victor Moses played for liverpool while odion ighalo played for united

The likes of Aina, Moses, mikel,Babayaro all played for Chelsea

I think the clubs Nigerians are yet to play for are
Madrid, ATM, Bayern, Spurs

🤣🤣🤣

seun pls ban this guy.. he's not normal..pls go and say this on the street... are this inhuman? Someone is Running up And down.. giving us penalties.. linking plays.. All the goals we have scored he's involved.. he's not just lucky in this tournament..seun pls ban this guy

I’m just tired 🥱 of our ungrateful attitude in this country… many world class strikers fired blank during tournaments 🏟 and nothing happened.

We’re always ready to belittle our own at slightest 😏😏… God bless Big VIC 🙏

Proud to have him as a Nigerian 💯🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

BankyGee:

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...

Kudos to him. We all wrote him off here (except for few) before the tournament. He made the super eagles a defensive monster.

It’s really a win for him because he was having a rough time in his coaching career before the super eagles job came. Having the AFCON trophy in his CV will surely boost him for more international football job. Even if doesn’t win, he has proven his worth and should get him juicy offer if he choose not to continue with the super eagles.

You want to compare their impact to okocha own Abi ? Na wa for you ooo

We hype this jay jay okocha too much Walai

you for allow me compare them before you accuse me. It's just to highlight how you can be a pl legend even if you don't win the pl. I'm sure if you ask any Bolton fan what they think of jayjay, I'm sure legend would be among the descriptions.

If Nwakali no vomit blood trying to play this high octane football deployed by jpes mk I knw wetin cause am

He is too weak to play in a 2 man midfield. Na Onyeka go work tire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Victor Osimhen, Frank Onyeka, Stanley Nwabali and Troost Ekong make the Sofascore Team of the Week for semifinals of the 2023 AFCON 🇳🇬💚🦅

Naso that DRC/CIV clash take bland sotey they barely entered this TOTW

AFCON 98 was the last time an AFCON final ended with more than a goal margin.

Expecting an edgy encounter, either 1:0 or 2:1.

We are yet to score more than a goal in a game so far. Boys need to be at their clinical best as chances no go too dey...sad hearing loss of lives cos of the tension of yesterday's game.

Some people no dey ungrateful, they're just plainly stup!!d and f00lish. How will someone come out and say this kinda nonsense against Victor Osimhen that has been playing his hearts out for the country and is involved in 96% of all our goals/victories in this tournament? I can bet you he played with discomfort in that yesterday's match and one psychiatric patient wey dem no strap well for ward just run snatch phone for GSM store dey type rubb!sh for here... Someone that literally has "maniac" in his moniker... Smh.

codemaniacs:


He is playing anti-super eagles manner like Yakubu and Akpeyi.

It was after Akpeyi threw the ball into net I confirmed that some players stylishly sabotage the Super-Eagles or their teams.

I disagree, lest we forget it’s not long he came back from an injury and from what we currently hear he’s still nursing an injury and also the stomach issue. You can see the South Africans went for that stomach in the first few minutes yesterday to worsen the injury.

Dude is not back to full fitness but he’s the one carrying the team. I’ve listened to lots of foreign media and no one is condemning him but praising him instead for what he does for the team

Alex Iwobi has been colossal in this Afcon without question and done enough in a general sense to compliment Onyeka's Warrior CM energy in the middle but truth be told, he is no DLP. Many won't like this but the truth must be said... In this 343, Nwakali will shine alongside an Onyeka or an Ndidi.

In a 3 man midfield, Iwobi will have better impact as he will play much more advanced while the other 2 stay in the central or defensive midfield zones (ofcos one of them would enter advanced zones from time to time as well depending on the phases of play).


To be honest, check out Alhassan when he came on against SA. The passes were more progressive and more fluid. Alhassan brought that urgency energy in his passing. His only dent was that penalty he gave away. But his entrance alongside Chuks brought the needed urgency before the goal we scored.

Iwobi's best game at this Afcon have come against Equatorial Guinea in a midfield 3. It is not shocking.

Goke7:


but na wetin we dey expect from Iwobi na, even if playing so deep. He was losing balls carelessly yesterday or am I missing something?

Toh... Iriswahriris 😂

At least Nigeria 🆚 South Africa was well stacked with unending mdjgkevteci demgofeelit bcdekgrvre penmiss bwahbwah 😂

Ndidi and Onyeka together is tempting but both must properly understand their roles. One must sit and the other must roam. Ndidi already roams at Leicester so I won't fancy Ndidi and Onyeka playing together. They have similar energy and roaming style at this point. It could provide a problem of imbalance from a tactical point.


Ndidi/Onyeka-Alhassan/Nwakali-Iwobi is the way forward in a midfield 3.

When you have a warrior like Ndidi at CDM or Onyeka sitting (but with licence to bomb forward), you need a highly creative and fairly defensive minded CM with broader on-field vision who will compliment Iwobi's quick witted creative game in the final third.

Amedino99:
perhaps we can recreate the ndidi-etebo-iwobi midfield. Onyeka takes etebo's place.

Another win we had today is that our players who were at the risk of missing the finals if they had gotten another yellow all came out unscathed. Come Sunday, we will be parading our full squad as usual.

Onyeka won’t miss the final.

Onyeka got a yellow card. He's missing the final.

There's a report that he is not missing the final.

The first yellow he collected was in the group stage or is there another that was issued to him during the knockout that we didn't remember?

we need a very creative midfielder.. he should scout the local league for one.if we can't find in Europe.. the coach can even invite players across the country and watch them play then pick one or two

This is ugly to the ears 👂,,, and how are we sure these psychiatric patients are Nigerians I believe some are just masquerading as our people here oo… There’s this certain guy that talks negatively of Nigeria 🇳🇬 soteee I hated him ,,, Afcon started and prophecies doomed every match till date and I had to ask him if he was really a Nigerian and he said yes …

Fast forward to yesterday,,, I saw his friend and frankly asked if he’s sure his friend is normal ,,, alas he told me he’s a Ghanaian but born and breed here …

I was like darn ! No wonder ,,,, of which he has been lying to people that he’s a core yoruba boy ooo

Okay. I thought yellows in the group stage would be counted.
