Yes o from the days of Makalele to Kante beasts and bullies don take over

Exactly. When they were praising Kante, it used to baffle me cos me I come from a football template where it is the 10s that earns plaudits. Kante is good oo but I'm saying that in times past such players don't earn praise as much as was showered on him. Only underlines how football has changed.

So we too after crying and crying that modern football is barren, we clean our eyes and chop the eba without soup that is modern football.

Those matches he skipped against South Africa and Benin may have cost him.

Ahmed Musa coming back to the NPFL, hope he joins his hometown team Plateau Utd. Though Rangers would need his experience for the CAF CL.

Truth is both Roy Keane and Patrick Viera are such players too but in that era we still saw that creativity from the middle from the likes of Zidane, Figo until till the Xavi era but Kante come scatter the table kpatakpata 😂

I thought I was his only fan here

Bobo work rate and engine dey swt me die. I love hard working midfielders a whole lot

Onyeka is a likeable guy.

Hmmmm Oga humble small small ooo

humility33:


This NFF Boss is the most incompetent ever
Just leave AE and give him the necessary support employ an international scout for him to help recruit foreign born players and maximise the upcoming CHAN qualifiers with AE and the NPFL coaches

Even the under 20 coach he appointed wanna continue from Bosso stopped.... I saw somewhere he invites Bosso ex under 20 players

I don't know why age grade team coaches are so lazy to shop around the geopolitical zones to recruit players from academics etal

It is painful that the likes of lookman, oshimen, Boniface etc May not get to play the world cup in their prime

What of our own Oliseh? Gattuso nko, Edgar Davids them. I thought the idea was to pair them with a creative player like the ones you mentioned. But gradually the creative players are moving into the background while the destroyers occupy front place.

Shina Ayodele opens his goal account for Lille U19 in the UEFA Youth League against Sporting CP on his debut appearance. He is 18 yrs of age and a Centre Forward.

😂😂😂
How did I forget that baller? Chai.. thank you jare. Chuks Aneke will bring a lot of dynamism, resurgency and insurgency into our midfield.

Mujtahida:

Creativity is no longer needed in the midfield for a team to thrive in modern football. Na una kill the number 10s. So enjoy gidigbo football

Agreed look at the modern midfielders that run games without unnecessary dribbling and over skills.

It's about mentality speed of thought football intelligence and defence splitting passes, you see the modern athletic fast midfielders.

It's skill with purpose and killer passes.

Danielnino00:


So you thought in a 3 man midfield setup,all three must be creative midfielders?

You lack knowledge

It's the transition from defence to attack that separates quality from mediocrity. And the players who run the game from defence and turn it into attack and or assist as well.

Player's like Rodrigo ( Manchester city) Rice ( Arsenal)
Douglas Lui, Ngole Kante,

Actually , having typecast players who camo ly play one role is not a top player. Look at France the whole midfield can go offensiyand be inventive but they also can defend

To answer your question ❓ directly all midfieldets must be able to create , be inventive and defend as well.

UNFORTUNATELY the two defensive midfielders you have mentioned cannot create anything substantial.

he will return to the team soon

Why is nathan tella no longer getting any invites

Is Chukwueze better than Tella and or had a better two seasons than him ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Maybe he has not settled ❓

If KC , Chukwueze, Moses, Yusuf, even Ahmed could be invited then I'm lost for words

I stopped talking about Chuks Aneke about 6/7 years ago, he is seriously injury prone was once out for two year's with injury.

He is at Charlton Athletic and still relevant at that level. But not good enough in my opinion for the SE. A player once hailed as the new Yaya Toure by Arsene Wenger.

Lots of promise killed by injury.

I just remembered him now thanks 👍🏿 for the reminder. Maybe I'm being too harsh do you think he should be invited.

After all we have two league one players in the SE set up , one midfield maestro extraordinair unable to get a single game for Barnsley so far. There is hope he made the bench once.

A reminder of Chuks Aneke now 31 plus , what he can do.

His limited playing time has affected him. Just before his move from Burnley to Leverkusen Tella's individual brilliance shone above his teammates, as helped lead Vincent Kompany's team back to the EPL.

At Leverkusen, he has won the Bundesliga and league cup, played in the European final but then his role has been minimal, with less time.

I dare say come January, if it remains the same he can take a loan move back to England for middle table EPL team. Or move to the Seria A like we have our two forwards that is Lookman and Chukwueze.

I love the way people are canvassing for AE... Despite him loosing the last Ghana game as a coach (drawing tho)...

Not trying to make a comparison here but...
Augustine Eguaveon games with Nigeria
22 games
15wins
4 losses
3 draws


Pesiero games with Nigeria
22 games
11 wins
7 losses
4 draws

AE is the best for the job at this moment... But Eguaveon problem be say... E get one Kain bad luck wey dey follow am... When winning matters, e go just loss.
I think the man has improved tho, let's support our own biko

D problem with AE and siasia is Dey lose d most important matches(ie final,semi finals etc) ,most especially dt siasia ,na dt one worse pass..is not as if deir foreign counterparts are better coaching wise”.na dt hard luck dem Dey always get..


Look at d two games haunting eguavoen now( na d two otondo keepers cause am; uzoho error against ghana and Okoye blunder against Tunisia 🇹🇳 plus d iwobi red card .

We have good goal keepers noe so let's see how he will fare

But why you dey support your rival ehhh this man?😂😂

Not a big fan of Victor Boniface due solely to his rather infantile antiques on social media, but dude was huge in that match against Rwanda. His recent performance for his club also shows he has bounced back from that injury set back.

I have been wondering, though Chukwueze is my boy, is there no how we could play Ademola, Osimhen and Boniface up front while Chukwueze sits?

Toh. Before we see that one, we will be managing the plenty workhorses that we have.

I've said it many times that Boniface will be immense for us. This I have seen.

Chukwueze has been ineffective even in matches where he plays well. As an attacker, having a good game means creating goal scoring chances or scoring goals. Chukwueze doesn't do either of these. He should be benched.

A front 3 of Lookman - Osimhen - Boniface is mouthwatering and it can work if they play together rather than gun for individual glory. Lookman has that tendency

I swear. That's why I am always bemoaning what modern football feeds us. Absolute scraps.

In fact one of the best matches Zidane played was France v Portugal in Euro 2000. It was a masterclass.

Since modern football doesn't value these kind of players, they are gradually disappearing.

No i am not supporting dem,indirectly I am also supporting myself against nff dt just want to employ anything “white “

U shld knw by now dt I am far better Dan AE and siasia but the record is not dere yet because I am yet to be given the job
