oga this one can happen to anybody…costing us a place in the world cup is not becos he is not a good player or he directly played nonsense to cost us…what if it was ebuehi that was ineligible and they later went on to field him, no b same thing…that one na istration problems, other countries faces such mistake
Nothing istrative there, it was a dead rubber game, the team has already qualified, Ebuehi was getting back into the team. What work for Shehu was that he has a Godfather (Musa) in the team already, and he was said to be a versatile player just like Awaziem

We hardly dominated games. We depended on conservative defense and counter-attack.

You wanna dominate games or win games?
We dominated Lesotho and Zimbabwe and yet we couldn't get all 3 points

my own b say hassan play some nice games at the afcon and his contribution also took us to final…cant wait to have Onyeka back shaa
Was Hassan better than Onyeka at Afcon. Hassan only had one good game at Afcon, correct me if I'm wrong.

Northern inclusion in super eagles always spark annoying reactions amongst fans…most people just hate to see those Hausa boys donning the eagles jersey whether they are playing well in their club or not😀…
this thing started with musa and shehu dispensation
Quota system🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was already a Super Eagles fan when we had Garba Lawal, Tijani Babangida Celestine babayaro (it was later we got to know he and his brother are not northerners) as a mainstay of the team. These were good players.

Musa was good. Shehu was good until he was no longer good.

The issue about quota comes up whenever players who do not merit an invite get invited over players who are more deserving.

I'm sure if Iheanacho had been invited, it would have been criticized. Yusuf I have no issue with. It's Aribo who edged out Onyeka.

But you see that chance waster called Umar? Na quota candidate him be.

The godfather of Shehu was not Musa. It was an Emir. Musa ke?

What are you saying man. How do you intend to win games if you don't dominate?

How many goals did we even score? And most of those teams were below us.

The games you claim we didn't dominate at Afcon didn't we win them?
Why are you contradicting yourself

Brother, a two man midfield is never a good idea, that's the point. Does winning by 1-0 against way smaller teams inspire confidence? You think that is the ideal approach?

Im done with this

I'm done with you

Most likely starting line up
Boniface likely to start ahead of Simon? That doesn't make sense.
MetalJigsaw(m): 4:00pm On Mar 19
Mujtahida:

He can, he can but he's never done it.

See if I'm the coach of the SE, I will never call up strikers like Onuachu or Sadiq. From your body build, I will disqualify you. If I chose tall strikers your body shape would be like that of Osimhen or Rashidi - strong and quick with good balance. Once you have clumsiness, you are disqualified.

In short not just strikers, all my players. I think Westerhof used some kind of physical metric to chose his players.

I must however say that Papilo was an exceptional freak of nature. He was just too slick, too skillful. I will make room for that kind of player any day, anytime

But then Sadiq and Onuachu are not Kanu.

I still carry one eye dey look Boniface cos he's a bit clumsy somewhat too.
Oversabi... That means Kanu and Agali wouldn't have made it under your tutelage

Mujtahida:

🤣🤣🤣Walahi, wahala ma Chelle if say I be SE Coach.

But check am na.
Lol. I think Sadiq and Alhassan are decent players in my opinion.
zicky(m): 4:14pm On Mar 19
Samueltemi337:


Chelle fancies Simon
Simon is definitely starting
How do you guys know all this things 🤦‍♂️

why were fans not shouting quota system during Garba lawal and Babagida time, do you know how many goal Onuachu was scoring before he was invited to the SE and fans still talk against his inclusion in the team. Maybe if he was from the north you for bring up the northern abi Hausa agenda

I said likely lineup, based on his preference for two strikers during his time with Mali. A winger has to be sacrificed to accommodate 2 strikers. Chelle might go with one on Friday. It's all hypothetical at this point till the lineup comes out on Friday.

My brother the last U20 world cup Manu Garba took us to we played South Korea half field for 90 minutes but still lost the match 1 Nil. Abeg help us explain wetin happen as that was domination defined.

oga the quota system noise started with Musa and Shehu, as if those guys were not worthy to play in super eagles…even 2018 wc una say na quota system carry shehu enter the team….like how?…

That was before he got injured.

That injury shook him and his confidence together. He played well in our first game against EQG.

He's not bad.

i know he has a godfather outside, but in the team na Musa oh.

Kanu and Agali were good for us,especially Kanu.
Kanu's intelligence,skills and ingenuity on the pitch were top class for any coach to ignore him because of his height or stature.

Agali was effective and strong on the air.
All these cannot be said about Sadiq as far as Super Eagles is concerned.

Westerhorf,Bonfre Jo and Mujtahida was very right in taking specific consideration in picking their players especially the back four and the midfield.

A well built balanced super eagles back four and midfield stand a better chance of winning a tournament like AFCON and going far in the WC than the lightweight players.

I clarified that Bassey was good at the Afcon but was shaky before and after that, what is there not to understand

Ndidi will give you assists and create more chances now.

When was his last assist, the main point is that Ndidi cannot shield the defence like he used to and his dwindling explosiveness have highlighted his lack of composure on the ball even more

Yea, I'm aware he got injured but my dad guy said he did played very well in several games at Afcon.
