Re: VAR team quiet until after the 2nd goal...

It was the right call. Referee and VAR were impeccable yesterday. I’m a bit surprised that the referee missed the Yusuf penalty incident as he was very close and seemed really clear even on live TV. However, he was always in control and firm. I have been super impressed with referees at this AFCON.

Re: Frank Onyeka

He has been fantastic….off the ball. Knows exactly when to step/press and when to hold. Something Yusuf has no clue. Very strong in the tackle and has grown into the role of sensing danger. Boy has been good. He’s just not good with the ball…especially passing/crossing. He’s serviceable driving and...

Frank Onyeka

I think we are underestimating his contribution in this AFCON.
In my mind he was today’s MOTM.

Re: Ivory Coast vs Nigeria ( 11AM CT, 5pm Nigerian Time )

Possibly Semi Ajayi will play in MF and the team will remain with 4 at the back.

Aina - Bassey - Ekong - Zaidu
--------------Ajaji ----------------
-------Onyeka----Aribo--------
Chukwueze ----------Lookman
----------Osimhen--------------

Re: Ehizibue wants to play for Nigeria

He definitely deserves a chance. He is a good, solid right back at the same level as the others who are playing. His only issue is his age (27). At equal level, I would go for younger guys.

Re: TIME to clear out this crop of players..

It is time to clear out most of these players. We cannot simply be inviting reserves because they are attached to a European club. Very unfit and uncommitted lads. These guys are wasting the talents of Osimhen, Iwobi, and a couple of others. Time to get rid of most of them and start calling up dedi...

Lookman has been in very poor form in these past 2 months at Atalanta. However he has a lot to give to this SE.

Re: John Nwankwo starts against Real Betis

There's the Caleb Okoli guy that plays for Atalanta in Seria A (maybe Lookman can help talk to him about playing for Naija), he won't be under the Italian national team radar anytime soon so we can try cap-tie him...and then there's Udogie who recently got snapped by Tottenham but he will do Shakar...

Re: SE Transfer rumors

Lookman is very close to being signed by Atalanta (15 million euros). This would be a great move for him.

The transfer is complete but conditional on Miranchuk moving from Atalanta to Torino - the latter transfer is almost done and dusted.

I don't understand how you can't download the apps using a VPN, but that aside there are several options: Do you have access to a Samsung Smart TV?

Re: Pick your 4 strikers for the WC

I think there will be 5 of those 10 at the WC, but I think Osimhen and Kelechi are in 100%. Then the battle is between Onuachu/Awoniyi/Sadiq (probably Onuachu) and one of the smaller more skillful strikers so Dennis/Ejuke/Onyekuru. I would say Dennis, but possibly because of his attitude it would b...

Re: 424 isn’t a balanced formation

The full backs are not bombing forward so much, so I think that if the midfield is being outnumbered, one of the full backs will cut inside and simon (more than chuks) would move back to thhe defensive line. Anyway, you suit your team to your opponents. I’m sure that when he plays against better mi...
