I know this makes me old, but we are playing the way the Rangers of the Christian Chukwu-Emeka Okala era used to play. I hope we win like they used to despite being outplayed.

Simon Moses, needs to replace Chukwueze.

Iheanacho for who? And to do what?

Simon and Iheanacho in

Chukwuze and Lookman out.


If we are leading and need to see out the game bring in Omeruo and Yusuf for Iwobi and Osimhen.
Winners do it the right way.

Going for a red card. Aurier is the obvious bet, heart says Serge, head says follow the heart. Mouthwatering odds on Fofana, all in, that’s a bargain.

8 corners and two goals in the last 12 minutes of regulation. Accumulator.

I think he's been their most dangerous player so far. Aina may need some cover to keep him under wraps.

Ivory coast forwards have been poor.
A better team would have punished us on the right wing by now.
Indeed, and a lot is coming from the wings, especially Aina's; plus our midfield duo of Onyeka and Iwobi are consistently overrun.

Stadium is oddly quiet. Sense of de ja vu creeping into the orange minds. There a real awe of Nigeria and Ekong has just freaked them out.

There is no way on earth that Simon should not come on. No possible way.
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0.

Like others, would like to see Simon come on at some point and maybe Moffi or Kele.

If Yusuf comes on anytime soon, it should be to play with Onyeka and Iwobi and not to replace one of them.
