Mean while Rashford start ahead of Abraham and tomori on the bench

Rashford didnt start ahead of abraham sir, rashford is a winger and abraham is not and cannot play there

Harry Kane is the only blockage for abraham.

He did on one occassion, and that counts since as you confirmed, he wasn't tested. If you watched the match you could guess the moment I am referring to.

Maduka didn’t look jittery at all. Just say he wasn’t really tested.

You see why i dont like england because they are average and they are very bias including southgate

Michael keane has not been doing well and he started last game and southgate saw that he flopped, instead of him to give tomori a chance he prefers Tyrone Mings who has not done better than tomori this season

Oga leave England alone. It is every where and besides, Bulgaria is more of walkover for England on a good day. Enough of this unmerited 'England' Fixation

I wonder what we were watching if we are saying Simon Moses was poor. The guy put in a more than decent shift

They dont like simon, its simple and clear

You where here during the afcon and you saw comments, they try to discredit him on any small mistake, i think it all started when he played ahead of their favorite in the afcon in some games , simon was rated the same with osimhen in yesterday game

This is Morocco's coach.. Morocco has one of the best leagues in Africa. Yet, some people want us to invite local players to the super eagles.

Lol

And the moroccans have better players in their league than ours, just like the egyptians

Lol, I wonder why England team selection will bother a Nigerian. Tomori is English, so is Mings hence there is nothing bias there. The coach makes his selection to suit the opponents.

Super Eagles wing forward in yesterday’s 1-1 draw against Brazil Moses Simon has spoken on the assist he gave Joe Aribo to open scoring in the friendly game which was played in Singapore yesterday.

Simon neatly controlled a cross from Victor Osimhen before laying the ball to Aribo who was storming in from his position in the midfield into the box of Brazil and the Rangers forward kept his cool to finish off the pass.

Speaking to Owngoalnigeria.com, Simon said the goal came as a result of work on the training ground before revealing that he waited for Aribo to arrive before slotting the pass to him because of the fact that he can score from that range.

” Aribo scored a similar goal against Ukraine, so in training we were told to always be on the lookout for his runs into the box. I waited for him to make the run in the box and as soon as he came I laid it for him to finish. The moment he picked the ball up I just said to myself it’s a goal and he didn’t disappoint “, Simon said.

On his role in the game, the on loan Levante forward who is impressing for Nantes said his main task in the game was to first of all stop Dani Alves from making runs into the defence of Nigeria or delivering crosses without pressure.

” It was tactical. I stayed on him all through the game and he did same to me. But before the game the instruction given to me was to put an eye on him because of the way he makes runs into the box and deliver crosses. He didn’t make any yesterday so I think I did my job well (laughs)”.

Sportilitica:

I don't think this is a wise quote to be honest, it is very discouraging for local players and kills their moral. If we are to go by this logic then Etebo would never make the setup. Who said we can't get rare gems in our league? I will never say such a thing to the media if i were a coach

Not really, you will not pick a player from Malta league no matter his goal return. Local players have to aspire to improve their game and the league currently does not have the coaching or competition to help them reach their best.

Players with NPFL background are gradually getting phased out in the national team. The league is simply not exporting enough good talents. In the early 90s, almost all our players had NPFL backgrounds and they were successful in Europe.

Poor recruitment, age cheating and poor coaching are some of the contributing factors.

Remove akpeyi

Thanks

Tobias won't be bad, but, why I go remove Akpeyi? Him no be human being? Abi him no still dey active?


I am really pained Uzoho could be out for 6months. Just when he seemed to be getting the needed game time at his club side, and stamping his authority as the Eagles credible number one, injury struck to relaunch us back to yet another goalkeeping crisis.



About who would man the post in his absence, I wasn't convinced with Okoye's grips yesterday but he looks the best bet to start till Uzoho returns since Ezenwa has bn inactive.

It was an anterior ligament problem and it COULD take up to 6 months. I just hope it wasn't an ACL, else, we looking at another Ebuehi-like layoff

The initial estimates appear to be positive. Colin Udoh said he will be out for about a month.

Oh and is it just me or we still struggle to string 3 straight passes abi its part of tactics.?

When the team is set up to defend and train to defend, it means the passing cohesion of the team will not get training for that.

If we build the team to rely on keeping the ball and starving the opposition the chance to control the game, we will see improvements in the way we play.

For now, I doubt we spend adequate time teaching the team to keep the ball.

Another is that when the opposition is pressing, it takes lots of training to help keep the ball under pressure. With a conservative philosophy, our passing level will keep diminishing.
