Osimhen was bad against CAR. Osimhen was also bad vs Guinea Bissau at Abuja. We lost both games at home with Osimhen playing 90mins. He had scored in the previous cap just before those two games.

You didn't utter words like "Osimhen played nothing in this game".
Rather we focused on the midfield problems and more.

Leave Lookman alone and talk like someone who actually follows the game. Lookman have been good for us. Blame his general ineffectiveness today on Chelle's experimentation.

Chelle's tactical choices today were as confusing as your confession to first being a woman and then a man.😁


Go and check my previous post and check if I didn't talk about Osimhen being bad in those games
Go far back to 2018 when I rated ighalo ahead of Osimhen and Osimhen went on to shut me up
So to you because I talked about Lookman having a bad game then I don't like Lookman
You better grow up and stop thinking like a child
I am sure you will talk about this woman thing for the next 10 years
Grow up kid

Bring in Onyedika to shield. Bring in Alhassan too to and use his energy to cover ground giving Iwobi some breather to enter into the possession switch.
Chelle's scored A for that vs Rwanda but totally forgot that for today's game. He must have copied the Rwanda own. 😁

TheGoodJoe:


I would have preferred Ndidi on the field to help shield, and taking off an offensive player at that time. Then used possession play to run down the clock. We needed to improve the midfield at that end but missed that opportunity.

Funny how big coaches keep missing that critical idea.

The cross assist came from Ola Aina from the left, good, but why didn't Chelle see through the match that most threats against Rwanda, and today, were from the right? Why didn't he sub out Osayi, as he did against Rwanda, to bring in Yusuf? @supernerd was right; Chelle is tactically stiff. I don't even want to talk about Ndidi



Zimbabwe goal

At this point let's be honest and forget about the world cup. What more can you ask for? Chelle should have freshened this team after they played their hearts out in Rwanda. Stranger miracles have happened. We hope for the best
sir do you think its easy for a coach to just wake up after 4days to refresh his team?….a team that showed mad impressive game in an away match…..let us all put ourselves in this coach’s shoes….if na you b coach bro you go still start same starting 11 again that dismantled Rwanda away…lets be frank here

I have unfollowed all of them on Snapchat. These guys are only good off the pitch and not on it. Most cuddled and the weakest group of players Nigerians has had in 30 years

We can still qualify as group leaders if we win all our remaining four matches and hope South Africa drops more points against us and other teams. Its no more in our hands sha
We can also qualify for playoffs

For how long we go talk this thing 😂

It’s high time we review this over dependence on foreign based players, it’s not working 100% for us. Zeal and commitment always comes back to hunt us. We can’t continue to see our foreign based stars struggle against home based African teams. It’s becoming a thing of mockery, something is wrong somewhere abeg

After years of watching the SE consistently playing 2 midfielders with different coaches then the 2 midfielders issue is not from the coach..

the coaches have been instructed to play only 2 midfielders by the NFF.
and it is mostly 1 midfielder because the other midfielder will the an AMF or CAM playing with the striker.

Is everything a conspiracy theory to you??

Rest abeg
Bazkanova: 7:47pm On Mar 25
Chelle takes 20-30 percent of the blame today. The other 70 percent falls on the team, especially Ekong and Nwabali. How can a player as experienced as Ekong switch off at such a crucial moment? And why is Nwabali conceding from that angle? If that were Okoye, many of you would have cursed his existence.

Chelle is a good coach, but his in-game management is highly questionable. Bringing on a clearly rusty Boniface was crazy—he should have subbed in a midfielder (Aribo) instead.

Oh well. No World Cup for us next year. We've completely wasted this generation of players' peak years due to the NFF's gross incompetence. So sad.

same here been a fan of super eagles since I was a boy in the late 90s and sad seeing what the team has degenerated into. We need home based guys just infuse then with confidence and pay them on time and watch Nigeria win the World Cup in the nearest future

Have you seen how many points the other teams in ranking of second place teams look like? . We are 4 points off the fourth ranked team.... Say, we win our remaining 4 games, we will accumulate 19 points.....it still may not be enough

When you invite fashion and vibes divas this is what you get, more than half of these players should never have been invited...players like Ekong, Simon Moses, Chukwueze etc are washed.

For the remaining games we should just play all our fringe players, no world cup anyways so we should just throw out the sinker and play the Gift Orbans etc

There is no over dependence. Leave this stale dichotomy of foreign and home based.

Ismail & Ihefu fc are recent examples of not being up to scratch.

It is enough to critic players without the unnecessary dichotomy of foreign or local

Like I said, comot mind... Had we win today's game, we would still have our fate in our hands, cus all we need is to win our remaining games...but this draw has set us back...
caprikon: 7:51pm On Mar 25
The Zimbabwean equalizer is on the players. Beats me how they couldn't hold the lead till the end. ..by committing technical fouls in non dangerous areas to frustrate the opponent.

Still think Chelle should continue his process and then by AFCON we can see where we are.The World cup ticket is firmly in SA's hands barring any bizarre turn of events.

Alright Mister Lady Samueltemina... baby analyst.

Lookman deserves his flowers. Stop riding Osimhen's dick to make yourself look analytically serious. I have noticed this for a while and I knew the day would come when I would address your nonsense.

On Osimhen fandom, We already have Bankygee and he doesn't take this path like you. And there is me... I don't lick ass coz I fan a player.

Bye gender confusionist.

The NPFL is a joke. If our foreign-based players are 'overrated,' our local-based players are twice as overrated.
The biggest problem facing Nigerian football is its incompetent istration.

Rip the big boss Stephen keshi. Even with all the odds stacked against him. He won the nations cup and qualified for the World Cup with a majority home based team. Guys until we go back to the drawing board we may not even qualify for the 2030 World Cup

He’s was the only coach who understood what it takes to put on the GWG. He went for players who had zeal and ready to risk all for the team. He went for brawn over skill and got tremendous results. He was castigated for his selections but got the job done. Even with the home based eagles he soared. African football is power and resilience not all these social media skits.

Why should lookman be left alone? Is this why he is Africa's best, the best players in the world are criticized when they are bad so who is lookman not to get his own share.
