Noah Atubolu, Nnamdi Collins, Ethan Nwaneri

Noah Atubolu (GK) and Nnamdi Collins (CB) starting for Germany in the European U-21 Final

Ethan Nwaneri on the bench for England.

Fewer Nigerians on the English team than in the recent past, but the two young men on the German team can make an impact on the SE immediately.

Re: How to make the SE a power house again

Very simple matter.

Half the players who are starting are not difference makers and should be on the bench.

About half pf the players who are on the bench are not good enough for the National team.

There are 6-7 players that are potential difference makers and starters

Re: STARTING LINEUP VS RWANDA

Again if you must play 442 these are the players to do it. I like how Chelle is playing Aina at leftback. I've wondered why other coaches never did this. So far Chelle is a good coach based on these decisions. Actually, a few have. He is versatile, but I'd rather have him on the right if Zaidu is a...

Chairman, you know this is like blaming nobody.

The public sector in Nigeria cannot be assumed to be a positive. The structure is too flawed.

The coach must be able to rise above the NFF constraint. I would not have bothered responding if NFF was one of the options.

Re: Chelle, Finidi, or Peseiro: Who should take the blame if Super Eagles misses the 2026 World Cup?

Chelle cannot take the blame if he wins all our remaining games and we still fail to qualify. Finidi got 1 point out of 6. There is no escaping this fact. Finidi had some bad luck with the officiating vs. South Africa in Uyo, which was horrific, and I believe without that and FDB's injury in that ga...

Re: Final List: 23 Super Eagles of Nigeria players invited for Rwanda & Zimbabwe World Cup Qualifiers in March

Hopefully, we have enough to get the job done against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, but the selection could be much better. We are thin in key areas. I do not know if some of the options not called are not interested, or if injuries or admin issues are to blame for lack of availability. The GK and backline a...

Maduka Okoye's early arrival in camp should give him the leg up as starter v Benin Rep given that his competitor has not arrived camp based on current reports.

Re: SE 0 v Libya 0

Starting Iwobi in the AM position over Dele-Bashiru is pure sabotage at this point. Truth, mixed with knowledge and pure intentions is usually vindicated. I've loved Iwobi as a player for a long and he is a hard worker, but he has not developed his finishing which makes him limited as an AM. Fisayo...
