When would any Nigerian club side get a victory over a Moroccan club side? it seems like an impossibility nowadays?
Even let the match be played the whole day, that enyimba that I watch won’t score, like seriously they play damn too bad for any country too league team.
Our league is not of standard,we are still lacking behind
Kanu Nwankwo is a mess. He is clueless
Kanu is the problem now, like Enyimba was beating the north African clubs before he came. They need another Orji Kalu to turn thst club around, not the club Chairman
The local Nigeria league is simply sub-standard. the players and coaches are not good enough. Not surprised by the result.
Someone was saying Enyimba still stood a chance going into this 2nd leg ? how? not against a North African side. our league is damn too poor to compete with the North Africans. This same same Wydad trashed Rivers United 6-0 last year.
Even eyimba guys were busy looking at the electionic advertising dashboard on the perimeter length of the field. Wen dey see fly rwandAir , Qatar airways, Emirates Airlines scrolling things dey see only in Europe stadium close to dem . Yy wil dey not loss concentrate.not to talk of the spectators all in same uniform wares.
Y wil dey not run aimlessly on the field for 90 mins .
And lastly they went into the game to defend from the opponent box leaving their own box for easy entrance.
Thank God it was only 3 .
poor from Enyimba.No shot on target.
Waste of space for other serious former CAF champions league winners
What a disgrace! And tomorrow finidi would come out shouting that he can coach the super eagles…lol. It’s better we stop competing at these continental mundials to avoid this sort of disgrace until we get our acts together.
Finidi is absolutely clueless and a very poor coach. While watching that game yesterday, I kept thinking: if this set current of Enyimba players were able to win the league, then Nigerian league is very useless. Okocha was right, tufiakwa.
No skill, no movement, no purpose, no ball control – absolutely shocking. That their Obot in midfield na better JB lol. The less said about their basket-keeper the better. Their leftback was the only player I noticed.
Kanu Nwankwo must forget padi-padi things are fire Finidi with immediate effect!
Can we please be kind and ask the players when last they were paid?
Not being paid is even enough reason for them to play with anger, passion and determination in order to attract lucrative contracts eslewhere. I’m a big Enyimba fan but these set of players won’t take Enyimba anywhere – even if you pay them £1m each. Finidi is clueless too, na identifiable style of play – just gather and play football
@John, with all due respect only a Nigerian would write you just did and think it makes sense. A country were paying people (teachers, civil servants, police, military, etc.) their wages is considered optional or even charity. SMDH
Why can’t Enyimba sign best players from Ranges,Kano pillers,Rivers united,Remo star and so on , that’s was the secret of Enyimba winning caf champion league, anyway I don’t blame finidi because that time finidi was in Europe he doesn’t know anything about African league,we the fans knows more than the so called coaches believe it or leave it
