Re: SE vs SA/Benin camp updates

Finidi should have Ekong join the team so he can assess Ekong's fitness. So Ekong will be in Uyo to play a chartiy game. Why don't they do a fitness test and call him up for the qualifiers if he passes the fitnes test? The guys says he is fit and available. And we need another defender. Why is Fini...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

I was beginning to look forward to the Finidi George era, but I think it's going to be bad. I predict Chukwueze and other injured players will be replaced by more homebased. Bye bye 2026 WC. I said the same thing. Include a few injured players on the list and replace them with newbies. It doesn’t m...

Re: Probably starting 11 after injuries.

This is how he should line up with available players. 352 GK: Nwabali RCB: Taminu CB: AJayi LCB: Bassey RWB: Osay Samuel LWB: Tella DM: Onyedika CM: Ndidi AM: Iwobi SS: Lookman ST: Boniface Close. I will replace Tella with Sodiq. Ja. This is the lineup. Only change I would make is the striker’s pos...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

Always the mystery, "I know something is happening but I can't give you the proof". Finidi's lopsided team list is not a mistake. No specialist left back, no cover for injured Ekong, 5 strikers, 2 confirmed injured players. Unless you want to tell me he doesn't know what he is doing. He's...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

For a team that failed to win its first two games in this WCQ we sure are approaching these 2 crucial games like they are glorified friendlies. The list was flawed from the start in defense.

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

These two games were always going to be tough given the NFF's usual lacklustre resolution of the coaching situation. Replacing Peseiro should never have taken so long. They also took ages to sack and replace Rohr. That uncertainty has played into our preparations. That's half of the story. Finidi s...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

When Finidi collects 6 points from the 2 games, they will still not give him any credit. The only great miss here is Victor Osimhen. A player we haven't shown to be able to win games without. If Finidi comes away with 6 points from the two games, that would be huge and he should rightly get the cre...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

Surprise surprise. Even coachito didn’t know about Chukwueze’s injury that was being discussed here before the list was announced. Another place sneaked in. Two more to go for the other injured players. Coach Financ£di George has been a great investment for the Nff. Best to keep our powder dry at t...

Re: Is This REALLY a rash of injuries or Bailing for Summer Break?

This reported rash of injuries turns out not to unusual. It appears to occur frequently after the European season. Is this: (1) Players seeking a break from soccer? (2) teams encouraging players to seek a break? (3) or are these major injuries that need to heal? (4) are players using the break to n...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

Olawoyin plays in the midfield So that's a good addition. Suleiman Sani has been called up to replace Chukwuze. Oh i didn't know about Chukwueze's injury. Good to see Suleiman Sani, but we need more wingers. Olawoyin is a good addition, i agree. Surprise surprise. Even coachito didn’t know about Ch...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement

With two critical WCQs, it appears Nigeria's preparation is turning into a farce . It is increasingly likely that SE will have to debut one or two players in a critical WCQ. This is just not an ideal situation. I am not one to support introducing a new player in a critical WCQ. I do not care if tha...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

Thank you sir! The agenda is not to improve the team. It is solely to give opportunities to local players as he said. And then watch how that local player becomes a foreign based player the moment he becomes an international and then he is no more good enough for the SE. See what Rohr said about th...

Owngoalnigeria.com now reporting Suleiman Sani of Akwa Utd has been called up to replace Chukwuze. Well I was right. They called up injured players so they can sneak in homebased by FORCE. Calling up this guy instead of Ejuke is just criminal. Fock the NFF and their useless servant Finidi George. I...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ

1. Does our team need rebuilding? In what positions do we need to improve? Yes, we need to keep improving. We have aging players. We need help at fullback, Central Defense, Midfield, and attack (we have been nothing without Osimhen). We need to rebuild the team because despite playing in the finals...
