I hope Kelechi delivers today because he has been cold in the national team of late, even though he is my favorite player in this team led by Jokers.
He will deliver today. We need him for outside box shootings and set piece. Those guys will park bus
Aribo and Iheanacho will be key to unlock the motor park. I am also believing Osigoal to fire in the goals as well. The traffic to stadium is already bizarre. Lagos no be Child’s play Eagles must play well and Win well else we go change am for them. Eko o ni baje.
The talents are in the team we just pray and hope for a better football administration and a proper sound technical coach.
I WILL LIKE TO ADVICE GERNOT ROHR ON SUBSTITUTION
MOST TIMES, WHAT MAKES NIGERIA FANS TO BE FRANK WITH GERNOT ROHR TECHNICAL COMPETENCE IS INABILITY TO MAKE A QUICK SUBSTITUTION IN A MATCH, WHILE THERE IS A LOT OF PLAYERS ON BENCH.
***DURING THIS PERIOD OF COVID-19, PLEASE GERNOT ROHR, TRY TO UTILISED ATLEAST 5 SUBSTITUTIONS IN THIS QUALIFIERS.
SENEGAL, ALGERIA DID THAT.
**UP SUPER EAGLE
**UP NIGERIA
### MY ADVICE FOR JOE YOBO AS ASS. COACH
YOBO should go and watch AFCON 2000 and see how KESHI perform his role credibly well as a assistant coach to Bonfrere Jo on d field of play.
YOBO, you too are super star & well respected person as a former player. You can emulate KESHI so that you can have a chance to become future super eagle coach.
Yobo is a very smart guy. even as a pundit he speaks well. B

For those who don’t seem to feel the absence of Chukwueze and who never mention Samuel Chukwueze Name when talking of our best Wingers. This one is for you.
As long as Etebo is not in the midfield, the team will be fine. He is Eagles weakest link in the midfield.
You’re a drunker. Such a low match reader! That is why our football will not go anywhere your way of Judging things is very disgusting and shameful of you.
@CHIMA, Iheanacho has often done well whenever he’s playing for us.In the 3 goals win against Lesotho he was my man of the match,he had a hand in all the goals, and often initiates the Eagles attack.Go watch that match again you will see that aside the assist to Osimhen for the 1st goal he had a hand in the rest 2.
@Neo,don’t know what part of your TV you usually watch from.Am sure you are the only one who sees it the way u did, and may be some other unread Coaches on this platform. Etebo’s combo with Nndidi has remained the most formidable in the midfield, you know why? He is a hard worker and frees up the space for Ndidi to operate. Go watch him against Toteham then you will respect him.
Etebo controls the game well from the middle and his ball distribution is excellent. Pls go back and watch his clips and stop giving false info.
Yes Kelechi was fantastic as always I just want to see him do what excites us GOALS!
I was wishing to one day witness Awoniyi partner Iheanacho again after coming in for Osihmen in the second half but the coach didn’t think Awoniyi was better than his other strikers or less say he doesn’t want to add to the number of strikers he already has. Hard luck for an inform striker then later when he losses form they’ll invite him and mock him if he doesn’t perform.
I believe this is not the time to spread bitterness again. We have a match today. We have players on ground. Let’s stop the negativity. Please @Dr. Drey is it possible in any formation for oshimen and onuachu to play together. I am thinking of the match against caoe Verde now. That match is key for us.
We need a good result. If we win today and win that match. The next two matches against central African republic should seal our qualification. CAF plays in Cameroon. That’s an away match. So @Drey @Glory @Pompei @Jimmyball @Greenhurf @Emmanuel can oshimen play together with onuachu.
No one is spreading bitterness Mr ITK. Talk your own and walka pass don’t try to silent anyone. Everyone love their country and are entitled to speak what they feel bothers them.
Hello @Chima. You see what I am saying. When bitterness produce your contributions, you will call another person Mr. Itk. Anyway. Thank you and thank you.
Dr Drey is the best.
Clone seeking attention to start a new confusion in this thread on match day.
What time will the game start please?
Abeg DStv to show the match?
We are making progress I think…. Kelechi,you are doing well.
