I think Navas was treated unfairly, dis is too much 4 a world class goalie, haha

I have never regarded that guy as a World class goalie

He is just tall and that's all he has going for him. The guy isn't a top 10 goalie in my books

Starboytwo:
Hmmm players just coming up every angle.... Left, right, center... Everywhere players, good players...

Before yesterday I don't know who olayinka was, but the guy just played a Champions League match against Inter Milan, and didn't do badly according to reports here...

My To-watch list ever longing

Ebere eze
Ejaria
Tomori
Okechukwu u23
Dennis
Nwakali
Olayinka, and a couple more

Because of one game?

charlesemeka85:
Will love to see olayinka in the team list for the Brazil friendly. The guy impressed me wella last night. Full of running and a good team player.

Guys, na just one game oooo.

Chai. ....

It seems the matter has been resolved by the Sports minister, Mr Sunday Dare. Dennerby is expected to return back to Nigeria this weekend. This minister dey work sha pass Dalung.

Dalung was one of the conspicuous mistakes of Buhari's first term.

That guy was a square peg in a round hole

andrew444:


Should i mention a player that pocketed neymar?

So super eagles player cant mark neymar? even players that our defenders are better than do mark neymar

As usual in what you are good at in bringing down a player

Whats your point ?

Your next quote will be grammar

I don't know if my diction is too complicated or what.

But I was very plain speaking.

You said AWAZIEM would essentially pocket Neymar l said essentially you are dreaming and being delusional. Nothing less nothing more

You have now completely changed the substance of what I said.

When did l say the bolded it seems to be such a normal thing for so many here to just tell BLATANT LIES, but why ❓

I just don't get it.

Humility017:


you see yourself....
this is what gives you joy.

please let's play Brazil first before you belittle this guys.....

I do say it... you're here to rubbish this guys and makes us feel they're not good enough.

In the last AFCON l said Awaziem was the weakest link playing at RB, NUTTIN has changed, he's too slow to be quality RB.

You changed my narrative and changed my singular reference to Awaziem as being incapableof pocketing Neymar in response to someone else's post too a collective one about the entire SE team.

I don't know how blind prejudice and negative bias has made you incapable to comprehend my simplistic write up.

You no get shame, you use your twisted pre-conceived perception as my express opinion, that's total MISREPRESENTATION.

Where did i say he will pocket neymar? i said he will do well and he did well at the french league meaning he pocketed neymar, awaziem did well against neymar means he pocketed him? thats why i call you a comedian ,neymar didnt get a goal in that game for your information, it was di maria cavani and pastore, i think nigeria defenders has played against this players and not that any of them was disgraced so whats your point?

Just show me where i said awaziem will pocket neymar

You go school.

I'm sure you understand the meaning of essentially or maybe I have presumed too much basic comprehension on your part.

In this context essentially means the substance of your diction.

You said HE DID WELL against Neymar that it's not ambiguous to think that means he subdued him and.if he subdued him pocketed him.

But it was the contrary Awaziem was left for dead by Neymar over the two legs which they both lost and he got a yellow card for a bad tackle against Neymar.

I know you love vitriolic rhetoric and don't feel comfortable without abuse.

I think you may be CONFUSED not me and l don't what you are licking that has got your mind befuddled.

andrew444:

Every time you make these nonsensical propositions l ask you to make to screenshot just one of my posts not two just ONE.

You go evasive and talk essentially a lot Balderdash but you never substantiate your position.

But y do u guys like going back and forth on a player

But when a certain moniker clamour for his invitation, una go begin raise eyebrow

Forgiveness please forgive ur ppu

Olayinka did quite well in Belgium but his decision to go to Czech Republic was ill advised especially as he had offers elsewhere. It is still a bad decision now even with a champions league goal.

The move to Czech Republic kept him out of the eye of national team selectors. He still needs to move out of that league to be noticed.

We can not be shortsighted about this. Slavia will likely finish 3rd or 4th in the group. Then we will not see Olayinka again. Playing in a better league even if it is a mid table side gives you visibility through the season.

For Brazil, i doubt there will be any major change. Musa, Omeruo, Ndidi and Onyekuru will most likely be back barring injury.

You can as well call for the inclusion of Umar Sadiq who also has been very impressive in Serbia for FK Partizan Belgrade and even scored in Europa league qualifying. And ohhh... he will also play UEL football against Man Utd and AZ Alkmaar. Make we call am up too naa abi...



Look... Olayinka did well. But the Brazil friendly is not gonna be used to keep throwing invites anyhow. It is a chance to see the team we saw against Ukraine added to the return of Ndidi, Musa, Omeruo, and Onyekuru. Also, hopefully we use it to invite one or two more new faces relevant to the areas the team need strengthening and fine depth.

Arsenal fans lament Iwobi’s sale
punchng.com

A set of Arsenal fans have admitted that selling Alex Iwobi to Everton was an error despite the arrival of the club’s record buy Nicolas Pepe.



Iwobi joined the Toffees on transfer deadline day following Pepe’s arrived from Lille in a deal worth £72m.

While Iwobi has scored twice in five games, Pepe has recorded only one assist in five games for the Gunners, prompting fans’ frustrations on Twitter.



“I told you about Pepe, he’s just an underweight Iwobi, fraud,” Hacker Mann tweeted.

“We expect to have Nicolas Pepe, what we got is Pepe Julian Ozima,” Santana stated.

Another fan, Samuel, tweeted, “I’m worried Pepe is going to flop.”

While Iwobi’s move to Everton is now a forgone issue, some of the fans admitted it was a gross mistake to offload the Nigerian international.

“I didn’t expect him to come back on in the second half. We could have subbed Pepe. Always exposed.Iwobi wasn’t sold for this,” Doysol stated.

Nirph tweeted, “To think Arsenal let Iwobi go for that type of player is really annoying …Iwobi surely deserves an apology.”

Kudos for this beautiful statement bro... can you just imagine someone wishing a player from Serbia is invited just because of one good game and a goal. He's suddenly become a masterclass.

charlesemeka85:
Not really my brother, my assertion is based on if he retains his form. But from the little I saw yesterday I was impressed. The guy is good enough for atleast a place in the super eagles bench

I decided to watch that Inter vs Slavia Prague game, even though it was an early kick off, only because of Olayinka. That lad can be very lethal on his good day.

Good enough we have a couple of more UCL matches before the next SE list is out.

So let's watch and see.

Very good point. But I think asides the AM position we also need someone who can play as a supporting striker in case the team for any reason wants to switch to a 4-4-2. Peter Olayinka can potentially be a good addition here. It is still early i know. But if he brings that kind of game again in his next game. I suggest he be invited in the place of Paul Onuachu.

Paul Onuachu is not adding anything to that team. IMHO if Olayinka gets another good game close to the last one he had then he should replace Onuachu.

This is how you were talking last year when they defeated Sevilla but look who is back and even in a better competition this time.

If it is about SS... we have Iheanacho. Only issue is the lad is not playing now. Also Musa can play SS in tandem with a top striker like Osimhen whose holdup play is getting better and better.

I believe Olayinka will get his chance if he reproduces his Inter performance in subsequent UCL match days. But I wonder what you all will also say if Umar Sadiq bangs in one or two goals too against AZ Alkmaar later today in the Europa league.
In all, for now, the SS is not our problem... the AM is. We have just one person in that role. So let's focus on that more.

Olayinka is not in Serbia. He is in Czech republic.

Umar Sadiq is the one in Serbia.

Danycrusoe:

How many can name the coach who invited these set of players and in what year?

Provisional squad:

Goalkeepers
Greg Etafia (Moroka Swallows, South Africa), Austin Ejide (Bastia, France), Vincent Enyeama (Bnei Yehuda, Israel), Dele Aiyenugba (Enyimba), Carl Ikheme (Wolverhampton Wanderers, England)

Defenders
Celestine Babayaro (Newcastle, England), Ifeanyi Udeze (unattached), Taye Taiwo (Olympique Marseille, France), Isaac Okoronkwo (FC Moscow, Russia), Joseph Enakarhire (Bordeaux, France), Obinna Nwaneri (FC Sion, Switzerland), Joseph Yobo (Everton, England), George Abbey (Port Vale, England), Chidi Odiah (CSKA Moscow, Russia), Nedum Onouha (Manchester City, England), Onyekachi Apam (Nice, France), Bob Osim (Heartlands), Rabiu Afolabi (Sochaux, France)

Midfielders Paul Obiefule (Viborg, Denmark), Mikel Jon Obi (Chelsea, England), Sani Kaita (Sparta Rotterdam, Holland), Yusuf Ayila (Dynamo Kiev, Ukraine), Seyi Olofinjana (Wolverhampton Wanderers, England), Oguchi Uche (Lobi Stars), Christian Obodo (Udinese, Italy)

Strikers Julius Aghahowa (Wigan, England),Martins Obafemi (Newcastle, England), Ayodele Makinwa (Lazio, Italy), Nwankwo Kanu (Portsmouth, England), Ajide Akande (AC Bellinzona, Switzerland), John Utaka (Rennes, France), Osaze Odemwingie (Lille, France), Yakubu Aiyegbeni (Middlesbrough, England), Obinna Nsofor (Chievo Verona, Italy), Toto Tamuz (Beitar Jerusalem, Isreal), Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa, England), Victor Anichebe (Everton, England)

Chai! This squad na die. See the Keepers list, see the defense, see the strikers!!! Na who we been wan kill with this squad?

This is a very deep squad. The bench will definitely be as good as the starting 11. And this what the current team lacks. We have a good starting 11 but not bench.
That was why we could easily throw away a 2-0 lead after a few substitutions.

Them suppose show Rohr and NFF this list: "where we were and where we are now".

I have always said it that the 2000s Eagles squad had what it takes to conquer Africa and make a major impact in the WC but our non-participation in the 2006 WC was a major blow. That list up there was some time in 2005/2006.

Iheanacho that is not playing games. Yes Musa can play as an SS but if Olayinka puts in another great performance in that same position i think he deserves a look in.

As for Sadiq even if he scored 3 goals today, just like Olayinka we still need to see his performances in the subsequent games.

For that AM position i think Joe Aribo's inclusion has many positives as he can also function as an AM.
