Re: How Gasperini unlocked Lookman
Lookman was our best offensive player in his first start for Nigeria against Ghana in the WCQ in Abuja. He won the penalty converted by Ekong and was a threat throughout the match until he was replaced. The more experienced Emmanuel Dennis on the other side of the pitch was a bust. Lookman has alwa...

Re: Atalanta Versus Fiorentina, Lookman Scores
Why did the NFF allow him to play in the game? Why is Atlanta using him in a meaningless game. They ave already qualified for the UCL? Scalvini got injured in this meaningless game and is out of the European Championship for Italy. We’re lucky that Lookman came through unscathed. The same NFF allow...

Re: SE vs SA/Benin camp updates
There is plenty of talent to get the results. The injured and withdrawals are no excuse for anything. Interested to see how Finidi operates with these players. I agree. But when was the last time the team won a competitive game without Victor Osimhen? Already carving out an excuse? There's enough t...

Re: SE vs SA/Benin camp updates
Normally we get pictures from camp and etc. Today was suppose to be their 2nd training session. No pictures, nada. Not a lot of press access. But that will change soon. Ekong will have his charity match. Finidi is a man of few words and he’s starting to impose his ways on the team. It’s amazing tha...

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement
I have to agree with danfo driver that as a people, we are not as intelligent as we think we are. The dishonesty that has become part of our national life is very much obvious on the forum.

Re: Tella excuses himself from WCQ, Olawoyin called up as replacement
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 replacing injured players with those that he's immediately familiar with. That's how I see it...

Re: Is This REALLY a rash of injuries or Bailing for Summer Break?
Calling up sub par players is not "building depth" Also how is a coach "building depth" when he refused to use key players in friendly matches and just sat them on the bench. Finidi is looking to be a colossal mistake. Na bra. The 'Subpar' players are players who have been calle...

Re: Osimhen out of WCQ
Sorry, I don't agree with you. You don't depend on foreign assessment of talent to determine if a player is good enough for the National team. If you believe the reason a player is at a good club is based on ability alone, then I don't even need to engage you any further. I and others have stated m...

Re: Is This REALLY a rash of injuries or Bailing for Summer Break?
You keep saying this as a matter of fact without seeing any official statement from a doctor. Oh I forgot, you said they limped off, therefore they are injured. This reported rash of injuries turns out not to unusual. It appears to occur frequently after the European season. Is this: (1) Players se...

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
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.

Thank you sir! The agenda is not to improve the team. It is solely to give opportunities to local players as he said.

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...
