codemaniacs:


if I write this same comment as yours they will call me a conspiracy theorist...

Eguavoen or a group of people in the NFF keep writing the same list of players without any young new additions to the list.

without Ndidi the SE made it to the Final of the AFCON.. so why is Ndidi still given a starting shirt just because he plays in the EPL..

its because of things like this I was not happy about Onyeka moving to because I know the NFF won't invite him anymore..

both Orban and Ejuke can play Chukwueze's wing and Chuks needs someone to bench him in that wing.

In the next international friendlies window, it is still the same list of players they will invite again.

That Chukwueze is a very big riff-raff! Can't beat a player one-on-one. Can't shoot at the post ! Zero inspiration, nothing!
The coach tactics is good. We needed the right set of mind players to fill in the space. Ejuke would have made better efforts than Ademola in that position he played, paring with Iwobi. Ejuke can dribble, can take on a player, never tired. Can shoot long range which NONE of those players failed to utilize.

bisqit:
What does Ndidi do in that midfield

The thing wey I no understand wetin make coach no invite Onyeka and Uche Christanus....why Aribo,Alhassan Yusuf and Papi Daniel...I don tire

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

U need a win, got a goal around 70 minutes and still maintained a lean midfield of 2 men knowing too well that the opponent will try to push forward with all they hv to get an equalizer? This is the area I think Chelle got it wrong

I think Chelle knows how careless our players can be reason he was trying to get one more goal I can’t blame him Shebi na tactics Abi no be so 😂 but wetin our players sef Dey look dem no wan go World Cup?

deltafly:

NFF is after their stomach . They are not interested in any development. They rely foreign based or talent to win matches forgetting that football is more of a team work than individual display

They are thinking of the money they will pocket if they qualify for World Cup.
If Nigerian fans are serious, that 3-storey building that call Glass House need to be burnt down.

All of them na beggers,looking for cheap money,living fake life

Iwobi is not the second coming of JayJay and Ronaldinho but scapegoating him whenever things go south is unfair. Thank God he wasn't on the pitch when Zimbabwe scored.

As 'below par' as Alex has been if other midfielders have been dropping even just equal of his performances we won't be in jam we're in.

Every time Iwobi Iwobi was he there when Ghana qualified ahead of us for 2022?

Was he on the pitch when CIV scored the 2nd goal against us in the final?

Was he on the pitch when Rwanda beat us in Uyo? A game that Onyeka played o!

Yes I desire top tier talent to feature in our team but I won't lambast someone who's always there rain or shine trying his best even if sometimes inadequate while giving others a free .

Ndidi even though I like him has never dropped great performances for the SE yet we seem to give him a free .

Blueelf:


Sir, till today, it beats me why uche and onyeka were left out

There's no justification at all.

I don't understand why certain elements are he'll bent on imposing their mediocre players on the National Team because of sentiments

Iwobi shouldn't be starting if we had a better option. I haven't seen the hype around that guy and I don't know what he actually contributes to that team. We keep on changing his position to accommodate Jo's strengths when the truth is that the guy is an average midfielder on his best days whose only concern is social media and Snapchat.

Findi was npfl winner and assistant coach when he got the job while amunike was jobless then waiting for eagle job on a platter of Gold so I don’t really see anything wrong in why they gave finidi the job but he disappointed

Amunike should have gotten the job as soon as Peseiros left, instead NFF were using Eguaveon as placeholder. We knew Peseiros was leaving even before the AFCON ended, someone should have been on hand to carry on immediately after.

We have been singing about Amunike since, his CV was perfect for the job, if those idiots had any sense, we would have had a coach before Finidi won that rubbish league that Away teams cannot even win a game in. Let’s be serious please.

As soon as that man sat in that Radio station and mentioned that God would help him when they asked about tactics, I knew nothing good can come from that appointment. You can tell from how NPFL league champions are switched every other time, and their abysmal continental showing, that na God dey help a lot of the coaches, not tactical know-how.


A jobless Amunike was better than that Finidi appointment. Amunike had tried his hands at National coaching at various levels and done well enough in each of those levels. The same way we snatched up Keshi after he was done with Togo, is what we should have done with after Tanzania, but what did those greedy fools in NFF do?

When the people in positions of power have no vision, and are only interested in whatever bribes they can secure to feed fat, the results reflect such. Almost 10 years after Oliseh forced Enyeama’s retirement, we still don’t have surebet keepers. We went from Enyeama, Ejide and Aiyenugba, to whatever random combinations somebody wants for International break. Who and who deputizes Nwabali? Who can step up if he falters? Brilliant as Enyeama was, there were games you’d see Ejide and you go still calm. Who do we have like that?


See, as long as we keep defending foolish decisions and these istration failures, we will keep failing to qualify for the World Cup. We had time to fix up, and we failed to do that because idiots are in power.

Kog45:
I will not baba,check out his over 80 caps and tell me what Iwobi bring to the table,we are still ing Henry Nwosu,Austin Okocha and Mikel Obi not cuz of caps but what they did in some matches.....Iwobi I watched against Zimbabwe,haba no no o

Iwobi has 10 goals. Without him we would not have qualified for the last World Cup we played. Go and watch the last Afcon matches against Cameroun and Angola. Iwobi even though he played deep throughout Afcon, gave the pre-assist to the second goal we scored against Cameroun and then the only goal we scored against Angola. You see I'm talking factually now. Not some bubbly notion about how good he is. I'm giving you facts.

Baba, sorry oo you no watch yesterday match well. Tension color your vision. But more than that you have preconceived notions and you watched Iwobi with that eye.

Iwobi was a standout performer yesterday.

Point is that I'm not saying he should not be criticized. But at the same time, we should be realistic. If a player, plays well. Applaud him. If he does not, criticise him.

The fact of yesterday's match was that apart from Osimhen, Iwobi was the next best player out of our attacking players. Lookman, Simon, Chukwueze were poor. To show how biased you are in your analysis, you have not mentioned how bad these players played yesterday. Na Iwobi shaaaaa. He must be blamed. It's mimetic

The thing with Iwobi is that we want a better creative midfielder. That is a valid point nevertheless we often conflate our desire for a better CM with the match to match performance of Iwobi and then judge him unfairly.

We should separate the conversation: there is the conversation on our need for a better CM. There is also the conversation on the match to match performance of Iwobi. Yesterday oo, he played well.

From Rohr to Eguavoen to Peseiro to Finidi to Eguavoen again and now Chelle, Iwobi continues to feature. Una say he is terrible. Abi him dey use juju confuse the coach?

joxxy01:
99% here don't believe we will qualify, but I am among the 1% that still believe we can qualify. I will wait for September/November games. It is not over until it is over.

For that to happen it means we have to win our remaining 4 matches and hope SA LOSE against us AND still DRAW one of their 2 matches with Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

I miss the days of Osaze and co,

Especially Osaze, cit to the left, cut to the right, send ur marker to the market, and let fly at goal a thunderous shot,

But no na to dance Atilogwu and Awilo combine, chaiii, it is well ooo

I tell you. Simon really killed our attack. Too much delay

I no dey too reason DStv matter cos when small strong wind show, otilor 😄😄😄

Goke7:


The current generation of eagles are too over pampered, always on their phones, some are even content creators all manner of shenanigans and what do we get? Ikpeba some few weeks back threw a jab on these players even yabbed them they can’t play before Lagos fans, I was one of those who thought he was too extreme but after watching the crap played yesterday I think ikpeba is right. We shouldn’t be blaming the 94 set for being too proud and despising the generation after them.

Na Lagos crowd fit treat their 4uk up well. I ed a game they didn't allow the team Bus to move till the middle of the night before they bungled them off.

With which team? Make Una stop that rough play abeg

Did you see that Ndidi miss? 😂 that’s enough for even fifa deduct 3 points. Apologies to Aiyegbeni!

The way he and chuks play, it will make you feel like recalling Vicmo

Imagine Vicmo dia with Osimhen, na steady murder to any oppositiot

As soon as I saw that list, I was asking, “Who are some of these people?”

If you want to bleed new players, you do it in friendlies, not high stakes World Cup qualifications. It was the same foolish mistake Eguaveon made against Ghana in 2022 that cost us that ticket. You went to field Dennis, and new bloods Bassey and Lookman in a must win second leg match against your longtime rivals, because Twitter boys gave you lineup.

Games you need to win, you call on your old reliables. Frank Onyeka was so massive at the AFCON, I can’t believe they just omitted him like that. A player like that would have screened the midfield and prevented that 89th minute goal.

Three years later, and we have still come back to the same issues; not knowing the right personnel to execute certain games.

Then somebody is coming here to say we’re blaming NFF and Coach because we don’t want to blame the faves. Who are the faves? Maduka is not here to collect any blame, there is no Uzoho, there is no Iheanacho. What is consistent here, is an istrative body that cannot ister. They failed with getting the right coach at the right time. Why did we have 3 points after 4 games? Whose fault was that?

We had success under Maigari and Pinnick, even when we had to bleed through to get them. Both of these guys had great achievements in their istration, flaws and all, what has this new guy achieved?

minfelix:
if you like come and beat me or insult me on this my take, i go swear for you….all of you can blame NFF and coach but i will blame the players…if you interview osimhen, going by his rage yesterday after the game he will tell you his team mate are 100% to be blamed…that game was ours yesterday to win
Iwobi ballooning ball inside box 18 anyhow into the crowd
Chukwueze ballooning ball inside box 18 anyhow into the crowd
Ndidi only sweet opportunity inside box 18 could not aim and target at goal
Lookman though was very active but trying to play and score those kinda solo goals he scores for atalanta but failed at it severally
Ekong no fit clear ball or charge a striker off our box 18, till they got a goal…
Super eagles let themselves down….
CHELLE was on point with his substitution, nothing wey anybody wan tell me.
These same players went away to beat Rwanda.
When they win it is obviously Osimhen effort, when they play poor game it is NFF and coach mistake…tufiakwa!!…for Chelle to success all players need to be a fighter like Osimhen.
There was a particular point 3defenders try to all their best to wrestle Osimhen, the guy was fighting back…see this is Africa and thats how everyone on that squad should play…fight aggressively
fight!
fight!
fight!!
If you like invite Uche,Dessers,Onyeka,Orban, if they cant fight aggressively like Osimhen, na NFF las las una go stil blame…
Anyways im entitled to my opinion, we are 1point behind 2nd and 3rd team and 6points behind SA with 4more games to go…..
Until match day 10 before i go comot eyes for world cup….you all can prepare for Afcon oo its your choice, but as for MinFelix, im still playing my WCQ to win games starting from the;
Nig v Rwa(play well and beat them) to SA v Nig(play well and draw them) to Les vs Nig(Play well and beat them) to Nig v Ben(play well and beat) o pari…if Afcon time reach i go start dey prepare for that one

.

Baba I love you. Ahbeg I know be gay ooo. Just appreciating your courage and fighting spirit. But you see dat yeyenatu people at d glass house, dis morning alone after yesterday debacle they were all smiles and happy as if nothing really happens, coming late to work even 1 of d PS came with 1 old Ciroc to celebrate claiming life goes on even if Nigeria did not qualify.

Baba is dat not madness. C en, dat people in d glass house are imbecilic imbeciles meant only for pit toilet of human cesspit

That's where the problem lies. But it's not a matter of enjoying him or not. He played well yesterday. If we say we need a better CM, fine. Nobody will oppose that.

the reason I put the blame on the coach and NFF

It’s only a desperate coach who will accept a contract that specify certain quota will be allowed in the national team, Bleep that!!

The national team isn’t a camp to market deadwood’s to obscure leagues in europe nor a camp to revive dead careers. The senior national team is meant for the very best any country can boast of

Since the coach isn’t confident in featuring the suspected names in the 2 games why invite them? Even read an interview published where the coach was asked why he is yet to feature Papa Daniel and he said the player needs to improve which implies the player isn’t ready or good enough then why invite him to important games such as the WCQ at the expense of more exprienced and exposed players who hv shown their worth in the national team (Onyeka) as well as shown enough in their clubs that they deserve a look in (Chrisantus)
