What a goallll! We lead 3-2 at death!!

Kalakulu:
Northerners should NEVER be allowed anywhere close to sports in Nigeria anymore, they should stick to their ranka dede brand of politics that has ruined Nigeria.

It seems all of our football is dwindling at a slippery slope ever since Northerners were appointed...our youth football looks an unacceptable mess from U17-U20, our Super Eagles is beginning to tow that path with some criminal and dodgy player selections. How the Bleep can anyone explain why other countries are calling up 25-27 players for the WCQ while NFF are settling for only 23 players for the SE? which money are they trying to hide?

I feel bad for Finidi cause I think he is getting set up for failure.

There are some things that just don't make any iota of sense with our football honestly.

Forget the team's performance for now, I like that 'heartbraker'. Dying minute goals are bae...

Marjoribanks:
Nigeria has under 14/15/16 team! Iheanacho was part of that team too before he joined the under 17! I believe that is a good initiative than open trial during major tourney!

Marjoribanks:
I was about cursing that boy! lol

Cecco90:


Until when it's scored against your team . Remember Mahrez in 2019?

robosky02:



What next?


Is there a chance to go further

TheGoodJoe:


The bolded says it all.

We wait for CAF but Nigeria should qualify. Being 3rd already put us in good position compared to Ghana

mostob:
Sometimes you gotta look away bro... SMH

jihday:
why? Both penalties were very clear penalties , we didn’t play well in that game

TheGoodJoe:


If I need a finisher, I won't pick Yaya Toure ahead of Onuachu. If I need a deep lying playmaker or box to box midfielder, or someone that offers both, I will pick Yaya Toure.

I am eager to know your position.

Tessyy1701:


Different roles, One is a midfielder, the other is a striker. Defensive + Midfield duty - Yaya Toure, Offensive duty - Onuachu

The biggest blunder any Super Eagles coach will make us forcing Boniface into a lineup that includes Osimhen. Osimhen/Boniface or Osimhen/Awoniyi doesn't work, previous trials have proven that.

Maybe it could work in the future with the right coach, but right now, one of them has to come in from the bench.

Marjoribanks:
Osimhen out injured! Our strikers are either out of form or injured! Hmmm!
Only Lookman is fit! Wahala!

caprikon:
I just hope Chuks can rediscover his AFCON 2019 form....the attacking Trident should look more like.

Lookman......Osimhen/Boni/Awo....Chuks

lovewins:


I saw differently. The result of the combination was average at best. Also, if that is what they could come up with considering the level of opposition, how do you expect them to fair against way stronger opponents?

komekn:


I would pick Yaya Toure ahead of Onuachu all the time every time whatever the position ,what ever the league.

There is absolutely nothing that Onuachu csn beat Yaya Toure on. The gulf in ablity, quality, technicality, physicality and skill is miles apart.

jihday:

komekn:


You are being too rigid and restricted in your view.

For top quality technically gifted and athletic players they cannot be put into one box.

Yaya Toure can literally play any position with high quality delivery and dominance. As a consequence of you played Yaya as a striker he would end in his prime as a contender for the golden boot.

This is guy who from midfield scored 20 goals in one season in the EPL.

Onuachu could not get one goal from 11 games in the EPL.

What you need to understand some players cannot be restrict by roles they are that good.

do4luv14:



You watched that game??

Anyone who watched it will tell you we were robbed

elyte89:


I don’t knw y we Dey always shiver whenever osimhen is out injured…sheyb we Dey claim say na we get best attacking options …we no suppose miss am like dt na 😀😀

Napoleon55:

which best attacking option?
no dey mind people where no always dey tired of hyping.
we only have one striker proven in super eagles currently and one winger,the rest are either not dependable or not proven.

The game against SA will difficult, we will be lucky to come with a slim win or a draw.
but against Benin, if we can't win that comfortably with the players available, we may not qualify.

Monsignor22:
I'll never question the loyalty of Osimhen because he gives his all whenever he dons that national jersey, BUT it's time we start preparing for the possibility of Osimhen's international career being disrupted by his worrying injury records. That's why it's very important we have a long term replacement for Osimhen who is reliable enough to deliver. My pick will be Boniface but even Boniface doesn't have the best of fitness records...

Joebie:
Long term replacement for a guy who still has a long career ahead of him. Injury is part of the game. Pick the best strikers and if anyone is out, someone will be ready to step in and perform. We don’t have a problem here.
