Ilenekhana scores.

It’s high time super eagles handlers shun unproductive forwards like iheanacho,Awo,Sadiq,Onuachu etc and give this kid a chance
yup, I think Iheanacho’s run in that team should come to an end

and think it’s time for the handlers to look beyond the forwards I mentioned in my previous post

Atleast we have to 2 consistent strikers in Europe which are Boni and Osimhen and all that is needed now is a green horn like Ilenikhena to serve as an understudy. I see no reason inviting bunch of forwards who re inconsistent/unproductive both in their clubs in europe and the national team

A little tweak is needed in the team especially in the attacking positions. Seeing players that hv spent many years in the team and still doesn’t offer any form of importance is becoming tiring and boring

NFF scouting is in dire need of new minds, I don't know if the scouting personnel even follow the form of every Nigerian eligible player across Europe, but it's preposterous that we keep seeing washed up and unfit players like Ihenacho and Awoniyi always making the squad list.

He wasn't happy but I noticed how he walked away without causing drama

⚽️⚽️⚽️ The Moroccan FA believes that "Brahim Diaz" will win the African Footballer Of The Year award.

Ahead of Nigeria Super Eagles and Atlanta winger "Ademola Lookman"

Morocco dreams of having an African Ballon d'Or again, something that has not happened since Mustapha Hadji won it in 1998.

Brahim Diaz last season

- 12 Goals
- 9 Assists
- Laliga winner
- Champions League winner
- Joined Morocco 6 months ago
- Never participated in AFCON
- Was not remembered by Ballon d'Or

Ademola Lookman last season

- 21 Goals
- 11 Assists
- Europa League final best player
- 16 MOTM awards
- Atlanta Player of the Season
- AFCON best 11
- Europa League winner
- Ballon d'Or nominee
- AFCON silver medalist
- Coppa Italian medalist
- The first player to score a hat trick in a UEFA Final.

Some of my thoughts.

1. Boniface na baller. He just needs to stay fit.
2. The likes of Kele, Onuachu, Sadiq, Taiwo need to phased out. Boniface, Lookman and Osimhen should be who we build our attack around. Let’s also start scoping new talent.
3. Onyedika needs more minutes. Our midfield three should be Onyedika, Ndidi and Iwobi. Onyeka/Yusuf can come in as back up.
4. NFF needs to start reaching out to some of these younger players now to integrate them, especially the promising midfielders.

Nonsense stat/dribbles. This boy is from the same community, in fact the same kindred(umunna) as me in our village, but I must be honest, he is a dancer, not a dribbler. Dancing aimlessly in the name of dribbling without any end product isn't football. He isn't getting any younger, yet no improvement. He doesn't have anything to offer the Super Eagles.


By the way, it is about time, the likes of Awoniyi, Sadiq, Onuachu and other deadwoods in the team got phased out. We need to start grooming some understudies in that striking position and my pick still remains Ilenikena.

Who should we blame then that he also couldn't create chances from his many dribbles?
I complained recently on this same platform that he plays too much to the lines and this is where most of his dribbles happened. He hardly appears close to the opponent 18 yard box

I have watched all Sevilla matches this season, he come be like say I jobless 🤣🤣🤣
The guy will dribbles successfully and when it's time to shot or tries to make assist, he will pass backward.
For Iheanacho at Sevilla, that guy is washed out already and I won't be surprise if at the end of the season his contract is terminated while they keep Ejuke

It's even better that he was born in Nigeria.
But if it's the tribe, he is from Edo North. He is from a very large family in Edo North, I know a doctor in Benin City who is from his family, and several others

We should stop inviting Yusuf, he isn't serious with his career, if he was, he wouldn't have moved to the MLS.
There is Ojediran playing at Lens, there is an imposing Uche at Getafe and we also have this Everton guy.
Watching Onyeka, I also feels that guy is criminally underrated
