Yes it's me.

A Iwobi in chuks position yesterday, i dare say will never take on that Jamaican let alone score that goal. cool

Why has Iwobi scored 9 premier league goals and 6 assists in the best most competitive league in the world.

Compared to Chukwueze who has scored three league goals this season and one league goal last season.

Stop 🛑 being overly emotive and blatantly biased.

If we sort our defensive & creative issues, I think we can win
Im just not confident in all the defenders we have
I wish Adarabioyo had declared already for us
Coach should drop Ndidi & play Onyeka as DM, Ndidi doesn’t have 90 minutes intensity anymore. He can always come on for Onyeka
Uche should play box to box or move to AM role if Iwobi gets substituted for Onyekachi
He should start Iwobi as AM & bring in Bashiru in the second half
Coach needs to caution whoever would play in the right wing and right midfield, they need to help Aina at the right back
I think Bruno starts ahead of Agu based on athleticism
Maybe they switch between 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 in the game.
I think Chukwueze can play free role better than Lookman, so Chukwueze can sometimes drift in the middle
Lookman is so used to Italian league style 3-4-3
I doubt if he’d severely trouble the opposition if we play 4-3-3. I hope we score first & in the first half. If we can play with intensity and score 2 goals in the first half, the last quarter should be time wasting and managing the game properly
I think if coach gets his defense personnels correctly as well as energetic midfielders. We will get 6 points in September
I wish super Eagles good luck
Im not confident we have the right defenders though
Im now confident we have a solid midfield and strike force
Coach should take out the players who don’t show individual brilliance in the team.
Individual brilliance, pace, physical power is what we can rely on since the South Africans have team chemistry checked
Iheanacho shouldn’t be called for September games, he’s not lethal, crafty and quick anymore
All coach needs to do in our midfield is take out Papa Daniel and bring back Iwobi post friendlies


Go and watch Ademola against Liverpool playing for Leicester city and getting MOTM.

What is Victor Osimhen looking for in Manchester United?

A club that's not in Europe?
His he so desperate to play in EPL

When at this point he should be among the top 5 nominee for Ballondor

Imagine all the exploit in Galatasaray... Nothing come out. And he still wants man United

Reality is Turkish league is not rated as a top level league it's the retirement league.

Jackson's Premier League goals this season - 10
Osimhen's headed goals this season - 9

Strongest header of the ball as far as world's football is concerned. 🔥

Dude using Turkish league as a benchmark is flawed.

I feel Deres something missing about dis onyedika guy in eagles jersey…he’s not giving us dt 100 percent club performance ,more like he’s afraid to let it out ,I don’t really knw aw to explain it,but I knw he can give us more Dan what we re cin presently in eagles jersey…by now,he ought to be benching ndidi permanently but Deres something off about his performance whenever he’s introduced

Finidi can't be wrong. The point is clear. No matter the formation you set, with poor interpretation, the formation will not succeed. However, if the players are trained to interpret formations effectively, no matter the formation you set, they have a high chance of winning. So the formation is not as important as understanding how to interpret formations.

Finito.
now you are trying to play around with words. As a coach, you have a formation first before talking about interpreting that formation. There will be no interpretation without a formation. Not for a coach to tell us formation doesn't matter, similar to the popular 'na statistics we go chop'

I watch a scene in oshimen last Gala match where he was asking the opposing team player to come outside the pitch so that they can fight...

Mehn I was so disgusted, for a top striker of that calibre. He really need to learn manage his temperament and stay disciplined. One imagine if it is because of the wage issue big clubs are Avoiding him

Zidane disgraceful exiting from the pitch was something that hurts him for a long time and even denied the world cup that day. It also denied him baloon d'or he lost to the Italian defender

Samuel Chukwueze 🆚 Jamaica.

Éric Chelle you do this one 😂, man don turn Messi/Jay Jay. He actually did very great yesterday, one of his best performances for the Super Eagles in history.

Going forward, I think Chukwueze should hold that 10 position, Iwobi fit play left-wing like at Fulham, but Lookman no fit dey bench... Omo squad don dey get depth 🙆🏾‍♂️
this is what i told someone in the super eagles….we have been waisting Chukwueze in the wing position….i think thats why his performance has been inconsistent (off and on)….if chukwueze is made to master this free midfield role, omo ina no no d menace of a player una don build ooo….
-Iwobi is a master er of the ball
-Chukwueze adds dribbling and huge creative run to his own…
forget ooo with what we saw yesterday, chukwueze is a crazy midfield dribbler/er we have been underrating and limiting to wing play only

I just did my analysis on the Russian National Team...

1. We've not played them before.
2. They are ranked 35th in the world.
3. They are a very attacking minded side, that ball wey Éric Chelle wan dey play, na exactly him dem dey play. Press you from 1–90 minutes. They can miss 13 big chances and still score you 7 if you snooze. 😂
4. They are very pacy, technical and physical... They can score crazy goals, even from outside the box.
5. They can play from anywhere, midfield or wings.
6. They are on an 11 games unbeaten streak and an 8 games winning streak (scoring 48 and conceding 3 in this unbeaten run).
7. They have scored 28 goals in their last 5 games without conceding even once. 😂
8. The last time they lost a home game was on June 21, 2021 (my birthday btw 😏)
9. Russia against African opponents:

10 games played, 6 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss
🟢 They've beaten Ghana, Morocco, Egypt, Zambia and Cameroon(x2).
⚪ They've drawn with Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Kenya.
🔴 They've lost only to Ivory Coast.

Without most of our Starting XI players in the squad plus their home advantage, they have a slight edge over us.

This is a very good test for Éric Chelle and the Super Eagles. If we draw this match, we try. If we win, we've done brilliantly well and it will show that we're moving forward, if we lose, we'll build from there anyways. But this is a good test for us! 🔥

once again hope NFF made their findings about Russia’s eligibility to play international football…make e no b say this small Afcon wey we manage qualify to them no go give us indefinite ban, make i no even go world cup qualifiers area.

we dont want to hear “we were never aware of this oo”

Well, that was absurd. I thought he was calling him to come and take his jersey outside the pitch if he wanted it so much before the match ends. Because that Senegalese should had been red carded for rough play twice. Though Osimhen also overreacted.

The point is simple. It is important for player to know how to interpret their roles in any formation.Understanding how to interpret roles is more important. This can easily enable a coach to switch formation because players understand their roles.

Whether you play 4-4-2 or 3-5-2, or 4-5-1, that is not as important as players understanding how to play their roles in each formation. As soon as players understand interpretation, they can play better in what ever formation is set.

So Finidi prefers spending time in making players understand the ideas than focusing on just teaching a particular formation.
zoboizee: 5:11pm On Jun 01
There is a guy by the name David Akintola playing for Rizespor in Turkey. Apart from Osimhen in Turkey, he has been an impressive Nigerian player i have seen in recent time. Age apart, dude is good quality. A guy like that will add more quality to the national team on the wings. He his quick, strong, and shoot well too.
