DON’T MIND OUR SENTIMENTAL LOCAL COACHES.
**DUE TO HATRED FROM EQUAVOEN YOU ARE LEFT OUT OF TEAM SQUAD AGAINST TUNISIA IN AFCON AND NIGERIA CRASHED OUT OF THE COMPETITION.
** AGAIN, YOU ARE LEFT OUT OF THE WORLD CUP PLAY-OFF SQUAD AGAINST GHANA FOR ONAZI DUE TO SENTIMENTAL OF COACH EQUAVOEN. BUT ATLAST WE CRASHED OUT AGAIN BY NOT QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP.
WHAT A SHAME FROM COACH EQUAVOEN BY NOT RECOGNIZED YOUR QUALITIES AND OVER-RELIANCE OF SELFISH MOSES SIMON.
A quality player far better than Lookman but missed out of the game against Ghana. His selfishness against Egypt cost him so much and we missed out of Qatar. Strange!
Your talent is unquestionable but we were undone by bad leadership. Best wishes Ejuke
A wonder kid by no means. You are still needed in the SE set-up. Congratulations!
With a sound coach of course. Even if the Niger coach was appointed the gaffer of Brazil, he will struggle tactically against CAR, S/Leone and Madagascar. Eventually calling his galaxy of stars AVERAGE.
At least the Niger coach NEVER failed to meet any of his targets despite picking us up from where some fake incompetent unqualified guadiolas dumped us. Targets that the likes of Paul le Guen said was impossible and over-ambitious of us….LMAOooo
Unlike Alibaba and his 9 thieves who within 3 months took over a virile team and took our football back to 1982, the last time we failed at both AFCON and WCQs, with their empty heads and had to be told by an experienced player that Ghana had switch tactics……LMAOooo.
9 molue conductors calling themselves coaches…..LMAOoooo.
Mr ‘just go and express yourself” Double-failure “your owns”….LMAooo
Good player no doubt but I am not sure he is better than lookman. Based on goal contribution by goals and assists in all competitions these season:
ejuke has 5 goals & 3 assists
Lookman has 6 goals in epl, 2 goals in cup competition and 1 assist.
Mises Simon has 4 goals 8 assists in the league and 3 goals in cup competition
By goal contribution Simon is the best followed by lookman . It always amazes me when fans just blurt out that 1 player is the best. On what criteria? It is no different than a student telling his friends he is the smartest in his class irrespective if he finished last. Examination is the best metric for performance, so please examine the stats.
Also, both players are playing tougher leagues.
Let us stop being sentimental fans . No business grows on sentiments. No country progresses on sentiments. Performance is always measurable.
Thanks for bringing out stats but stats don’t win you matches.
You are also well raised without insults and name calling. One love.
Bro, this is how it should be. One thing that brings us all here is because of the love of the game. I for one can appreciate other people’s right to their respective opinion even though I may differ.
One love!
That’s why we need a quality coaching crew.
Coaches who know how to unleash the talents we have. A guy like Ejuke, if properly used, can be a big threat to opponents.
When you have guys like Ejuke, Amoo, Lookman, Chukwueze, Tosin Babatunde, etc. in your team, you shouldn’t have problems with creativity.
Skilful workshop Chidera, no coach will overlook your talent. Ghana get luck, I wish you are in that match vs Ghana atleast your skills will distory Ghana Midfielders. Na this evil people in NFF go sack una grandfather.
Let us Keep Campainingn and Pushing finished Dead legs, players whilst forgetting our Upcoming Stars who are supposed to be groomed and wracking up the experience needed to be called experienced players in the futher… Let Nigeria keep Shooting itslef in the foot for sake of Pushing people who don’t deserve it to 200 caps whilst forgetting players that cold have contribute to our QATAR 2022 qualification. Nigeria the catalyst for Nigeria’s Misfortunes the mentality is autrocious and it keeps going. Now we want to disband the team completerly and build with home Based captained by Musa HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINISHED COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said brotherman. Heaven bless Ejuke and all deserving Super Eagles players
