Edna Imade should be invited to play for the Super Falcons. She is a great talent and finisher/ striker.
Why is this player not been scouted by the Super Falcons?
And we say we have a technical department in NFF ONIGBESE!
A technical department that is in a deep slumber. If Bayern had not taken interest in Edna, most of us would not even know about her.
So we now have to be relying on foreign clubs to discover new talents? Na wa ooo!
Yet they say Onumotapiapia is the best we can take to WAFCON. Corrupt entities….. Magudu was good at interim but as coach he’s been compromised, no wonder the girls are wobbling to secure wins lately.
Advise to Magudu vs Zambia Bench Onumonu start Ijamilusi or Okoronkwo at 9. Stop playing Payne she’s very average. Play Ajibade and Rinsola at the wings. Let Jennifer play make and Ayinde plus Christy midfield combo can kill any team. Your defence and full back are great don’t change anything. A word is enough for the wise.
