Re: Rwanda & SA Squad - Father of all battles!
Moses Simon is really beginning to piss me off. The guy does not pass, he slows down all our counterattack and does his stupid cul-de-sac dancing every time. He has one good game out of every 3 or 4 he plays. He was crap in all 3 games this window. This guy is not better than Ejuke. Not offensively...

Re: Our midfield is in safe hands for the next years to come
I hope we all remember that in March a player who has gone to MLS to play was selected for the national team and Onyeka was dropped. Another player who had not played for months and was seen at a scrimmage, after he failed trial at Div 2 Turkey, was also brought in and Chrisantus were dropped (Fisa...

Re: Super Eagles coach lists key positions needed for new team
Fans are asking for a recall for Leon Balogun because there’s a need for an experienced central defender in the team and not because they’re brainless! I disagree. They are brainless and/or corrupt. According to reports, even the SE players are asking for Balogun to be recalled. Does that make them...

Re: It's My Fault -- Ekong Admits making Error that handed Equalizer to Zimbabwe
Now do the needful and retire. You cannot have failed at Tottenham and played Div 2 at Watford for most of your career and be in our team. You cannot be playing in Saudi and be in our team. You cannot be a sh1t 32 year old, who has had an average career and be in our team. Enough is enough! Retire ...

Re: South African Pundit Gives Opinion on Eagles' Weakness.....

Re: Highlights of Papa Daniel Mustapha for anyone interested
Interesting player. Looks mobile and energetic, aggressive yet controlled with his tackling, plays with his head up and releases the ball early. Definitely a player worth looking at in June. And the team in Turkey division 2 and the backwater trials did not see all these energy, aggression, control...

Re: HEATED MOMENT BETWEEN OSIMHEN AND BONIFACE AFTER THE ZIMBABWE MATCH
This is what makes him Osimhen actually. Mikel even touched on it in their most recent Podcast (the 2nd episode), and Osimhen said the fire in him is positive (my own words). This is what separates Osimhen from the rest of the Super Eagles. It's not just about IQ and technique, and vision, and work...

Re: Five lessons from the Nigeria vs Zimbabwe match…
1) The SuperEagles should never play in Uyo. A stadium named after a sec offender is nothing but bad luck 2) Our players are awfully substandard. The weakest team in the group had ver little trouble containing them 3) Playing in Europe doesn’t mean a whole lot in the African context 4) Our defense ...

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 2HF 1-1(Osimhen 73m. asst.Aina)
Ok, we have some poor players I have to say. We have average players BUT we always pretend as if there is one FANTASTIC player that is missing that could have made a difference. Apart from Osimhen, Lukman and Nwabali, there is little or no difference in any other player we pick. There are other pla...

Lobatan!! That is what you get with mediocre players who simply can't raise their game and focus. I'm all for Chelle staying on even if we don't have any chance of qualifying for the world cup, but he has to build a new team with younger, more energetic, mobile and smarter players. I feel sorry for ...

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 2HF 0-0
Time to bring on Onyedika and push Iwobi forward behind Osimhen and Aro. That's if Iwobi still has the legs.

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 1HF 0-0
If we had the likes of Finidi in this team, Osimhen would run riot. Another not quite there cross. We're creating chances and half-chances, we must take one, this is a must win game.SylverEagles wrote: ↑Tue Mar 25, 2025 5:45 pm See crossing!! Mogbe!!! We have suffered!!

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 1HF 0-0
The Zimbabweans have defended valiantly but we have been wasteful. Chukwueze shows probably why he isn't playing much for Milan, got the best chance on his favorite foot and wasted it. Fullbacks just aren't doing enough and the crossing is not good enough. I would take Aina or Osayi off and get Oye...

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 1HF 0-0
To be fair to the Eagles they have tried their best in the first half. But, truth be told this team needs a serious injection of fresh legs. Too many of them are past their prime. They simply don't have the energy, nor the mobility to play the way the coach wants to play. That was apparent even in t...

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 1HF 0-0
About two or three of them look gassed already. Think Chelle could have tweaked the starting lineup a bit to freshen up the team.

Re: 2026 CAF WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe 1HF 0-0
The energy is there, the balance is what is missing. Too many players playing in positions they're not used too, and might not be best suited to. Midfield especially is a worry, hopefully the coach will make the necessary adjustments.

Re: RWANDA vs Nigeria (Rd. 5 Group C) 2HF: 0-2 (Osimhen (2 goals)- Lookman/Samu assist)
He's an accident waiting to happen, too casual at times. We need a sub or two to shore up the midfield, Samu and/or Simon should be subbed.
