Re: Finidi George praises Atalanta hat trick star, congratulates Boniface and Tella

Finidi, hope you've learned your lesson. You had Lookman in the team and inexplicably chose to start Dessrs for the first game and still didn't start him in the second game. It was these type of mind-boggling decision making that made me question your integrity. Make amends and do better.. Bros, so...

Re: Ademola Lookman has been nominated for April's Serie A Player of the Month Award

Lolly, You have a point there but bear in mind that he is competing with Kelechi,Moffi etc. Kele also scores regularly for country. I think that Fonidi is likely going to ditch wingers from the wide positions and use wide backs instead. This is what he clearly did in the friendlies which meant Look...

Re: Lookman and Boniface: Focusing on SE output.....

In all the years that I have been on this forum, never seen Prof. as excited about a player as he was with this fellow. Sad he got cut though.

Re: Nigeria vs Togo (U-17) match has been rescheduled for tomorrow (5/23/24) due to weather conditions

I really liked the team as it sought to keep possession but the midfield, in the opening half, did have problems playing possession ball and quick interchanges. Further, was it me or what was it with the surface?

You are on your own. There is a CAF award for African based players. Ask CAF why that criteria isn't only based on African matches while wearing national teams kits? That is a different award as you noted for African based players. The AFOY should be for all players who perform for African teams - ...

Re: Adarabioyo completes switch of allegiance?

For me, this player is worth the wait. Early on in his career, I felt he was rash going down with multiple tackles. Those led to concession of unnecessary fouls. Now he has matured and his pace and energy is at the fore. Hopefully, he chooses Nigeria soon enough.

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

I believe that Finidi George has a clear idea on how Nigeria’s team should be structured going forward. He showed a glimpse of it in the two international friendlies under his charge. Although he was short of pertinent personnel for those two games, but his ideas are clear. In summary, as he has no...

Re: “There was chaos” – Amokachi advised to support Finidi, avoid a repeat of Amunike-Eguavoen disaster

There's absolutely no reason to appoint Amokachi as Finidi's assistant. His huge overflated ego may not allow him listen to Finidi. These are the type of assistants that will plot the downfall of the main coach so that they can take over. For me, it's a wrong appointment. If they must appoint one f...

Gotta admit, even though I am not a fan of Amuneke - the person - it seems someone is out to destroy him and his reputation. I wonder why I really want SE to do well again. Finidi has a fantastic football mind. I am pumped about his era. Amokachi and co will get their turn…supporting finidi would b...
