Abuja stadium again? I reserve my comments till after the mishaps in grave in that stadium befalls Eagles once again.
I trust you Dessers. Please tell the entire team, let them know the importance of playing for the national team.
For me, Dennis is not the kind of player we needed in the Super Eagles. He always behave as if he’s doing us a favor.
The level of seriousness in the Super Eagles is not good enough. Majority of the Super Eagles players are not ready to play their hearts on the pitch.
We saw the level of commitment, passion and never say die Ghanaians spirit against Nigeria in Abuja.
We are tired of wotowoto/kerewa kerewawa
and uninspiring styles in the Super Eagles.
Also, Musa, Shehu, Moffi, Bonke, Dennis and Ighalo should make way for other new comers such as Nwobodo, Azubuike Okechukwu, Micheal and so on.
This is the new era. No room for errors. We can’t keep recycling players in the Super Eagles when we have talented players available to represent us. We have to get it right.
We love you so much Dessers and I wish you and other players the best against Sierra Leone. God bless Nigeria!!!
Musa Must Go!!!
So your Dennis now is an old player. The course Rohr placed on guys like you is still working.
We should drop Sadiq umah
