Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

I'm seeing a squad leak already making rounds on social media with interesting reports of new invitations handed to the likes of Maduka Okoye (making a return) and debut call up's for Arthur Okonkwo, Chuba Akpom, Tosin Adabarabioyo, Caleb Okoli, Gab Osho and Justin Njinmah. Of course I call junk jo...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

We won't see our best team. Finidi would have made some promises to a few of his Eyimba players that he will help them. I expect to see a few surprise names in the squad under the guise of "giving home based players a chance" or "saving money on plane tickets" I am not sure it w...

Re: Boniface, Tella (Bayer) Have Achieved The Longest Unbeaten Record in European Football

Why are Boniface and Tella not called up regularly in the national Team? Especially Tella! He has only 1 cap so far! This is not accurate, tbh. It only appears so because both were not at AFCON. Boniface would definitely have been at AFCON but was injured just before. As for Tella he a as called up...

Think of this, despite injuries he came back to the SE expecting to be a key figure at the AFCON.....Peseiro put him in the dog house. Then his club, Leicester grounded him as well. All connec...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA

Even NIgeria used Ideye Brown and Emenike in 2013 successfully. It can work. You need mobile strikers that like to run and like to create chances. Both Osimhen and Boniface are good at that. Boniface is not a high work rate striker, he’s no Ideye Brown, not even close. Amokachi and Ideye could play...

Re: EPL Championship Playoffs: Ajayi and Aribo

International football is very different from club football. There are several guys who are stars at the club level and duds at international level and vice versa. That should not be surprising given the nature of football. Football being a TEAM sport requires a fit with other members of the team an...

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 not...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA

EII To say Boniface has underwhelmed in SE shirt may be a bit premature. He hasn't played that much tbh, although it's true he never really stood out. Remember that Lookman had a much longer run of games without really catching fire, and now he was probably the best player at the afcon other than T...

Why Boniface is critical v RSA

Victor Boniface has been a good club player but has been far from his club form when playing in Nigeria's shirt. However, he has the potential to be a decisive factor in the qualifier against South Africa. Why? 1. He has the vision and can be the partner that Victor Osimhen needs up front particular...

Re: Name your SA/Benin squad

For me, Finidi's claim that Nigeria should always be on the front foot, based on its attacking talent, will be tested. He appears to have loads of Nigerians who support him on that analysis. But he needs to be reminded that Peseiro started his job believing the same until some poor results forced hi...

Re: FINIDI GEORGE, SUPER EAGLES COACH: FOOTBALL IS HARD AND TAKES IT'S TOLL

Finidi’s temperament is similar to that of late coach Amodu, he doesn’t get too up or down, he’s even tempered but deceptively extremely focused and ambitious. A lot of other coaches would’ve been happy earning fx in Spain and stuck it out with Mallorca youth teams hoping some day God will bless th...
