Some go attack you nah. And if not for your username, they would have accused you of being a jingoist. Thank God you’re one of those people who only see football, players, and potential, and not what their name sounds like.
Who will attack him? Of course aside the goal he was quiet @Femi was right..Though our midfield struggled in the first half,even at that he wasn’t imposing.
Russia 2 9ja 1. Our midfield is nonexistent. But Bewene is balling. Frederick is a baller any day any time. The leftback is doing well 2. Kelechi is still needed in SE, way better showing than Akor, Arokodare and Awoniyi in my view. The midfiekd is new to d team so its understandable that the transition from midfield to forward is ninexistant. With more games together, they will surely get better. The backline is very good. Fernandez should learn to sometimes just kick d ball out not neccesarily having to play from d back all d time. He was the culprit for d 1st goal. Russia are d better team so far but thats understandable.
You see how Russia is probing none stop looking for an equaliser, they got one and continued looking for the second goal which they deservedly got. Nigeria super eagles should learn how to pressure opponents like the Russian.
They have clearly outclassed our team..
Our number 8 and 10 are poor!
Na Umar be dat also we needed M Usor in dese teem, I even prefered hin to illenkhena, eet must be hin, dat ees USOR, Akor and Osimhen, if he (Osimen) ees stii interest in playing for de SE lmaoo
Smart Russia, they will played an Africa team before playing us, last time we played 1-1, they played Zambia first, winning them 5-0, now they played Namibia or who again with 6-0 win, but they meant a better team today, kudos boys.
Inexperienced, largely U23 team, but good to see players running with so much energy and intent to score.
Not Ndidi jogging in the middle, or a slow Ajayi leaving opposing defenders to do the damage, or an overweight Bright being turned inside out like an amateur.
It’s an injection of energy and quick thinking in the box that this team needs. They can get too sluggish most of the time. Let those with tired legs or heavy bodies be weeded out. Speed and an eye for goal, those are the simple ingredients of Osimhen’s strengths.
Exactly, Chelle shd blend the team with some promising young lad, for sure our full backs today need to stay with the main team henceforth, the GK as well didn’t do bad Expecially with his distribution.
Game over. Russia 3 9ja 3. Some standout players, all the 4 defenders were fantastic. The fulham kid wearing #17. The young winger Edikpolor, as well as the guy wearing #11. These guys played well in my opinion. The #10 has no business in d team. He was ball watching on several occasions. The LB and RB positions should be Aina and Bewene while LB should be whoever played the LB yoday, igboke and Bruno. Osayi should step aside. Semi Ajayi needs to make way for Nwaiwu and Fredrick.to partner Bassey and Fernandez and Igor ogbu Kelechi is required in d SE, his finishing can come in handy. There is no better finisher than Kelechi in and around d box. However he needs to work on his fitness as Chelle wants full court press. Our Frontmen should be Seniorman, Osimhen, Akor and Illenikhana. Simon should pave way for younger players like Otele. Ndidi should make way for this young boy from Fulham or Iroegbilam, Tijani and Nnadi to battle for the modfield position with Onyedika and Onyeka. Just my view.
Pompei no be you Kel dey yab, but rather Larry and one other person wey dey wan enter Kelechi at will. Todays match was good because these are fringe players fighting and showing so much hunger to compete.
Digital, I know. It’s not Kel that called me a jingoist.
It seems telling the truth and being impartial makes you a jingoist in the eyes of some pipo. If that is the case, I am a proud, unapologetic jingoist! Hehehehehe!
eef yuh mean am se for yur own mind ehn, yuh blive se Simon need to make way for anybodi, let alone otele abi na itele paa paa then yuh har not a serious but a mumu whu did not knew hanytings about footbals..
How mani tines am gonna told yuh pipo dat Simon is currently we best playere?
You guy knows nathing about fotbal – see how yuh har calling for Iroegbunam? Haf yuh see he play 10 – 20 march? or ees eet dis ting dat yuh nigerian always do of just calling names becos yuh heard of eet somewere an his playing abroad? eet ees de same way yuh fullish pipo were calling for dat basket Okoye, just becos he play abroad and his a hansome model smh! Yuh pipo need to gave wuna head correct wobble! – Eediot say mek dem drop Simon we best playere and replace wit Iroegbunam and then continue wit onyedika and itele lol..wey be anoda short 1 – I sure se eef wuna asked dis guy na hin go stii told yuh dat Iwobi ees we best playere lmaoo. pls leaf story abeg!
Wuna wan talk se wunu nor see de thru ball wey break for Akor arand seventy someting minute and they called it offside?? Dat ting was like at least 5 yards onside oo kai! It wuld haf be Akor one on one wit de keeper and he never ever miss to score in dose kain situation.
Dis gane supose finish 9ja 4 – Russia 3. Gbabeski!
I don’t pay attention to poorly presented views particularly those pasted with jingoist undertones.
Paid pipers will not deceive us. We will not purchase their points of view.
The dumbing down of this platform is in effect

Kelechi scores. Naija 1 russia 0
Iheanacho aka the senior man scored, but I won’t say anything.

Hehehe, Kel, you know we jingoists are not appreciated.
It’s not easy being a jingoist ooo! Hehehehe!
Let me zip it so I don’t dumb down the forum!
Russia equalizes from a mistake from Fernadez. It 1 all
2-1, our boys keep inviting pressure to themself, not a bad game anyway.
Russia 2 9ja 1. Our midfield is nonexistent. But Bewene is balling. Frederick is a baller any day any time. The leftback is doing well 2.

Russia 3 9ja 1.
Eric Chelle really need to work on his team set up Expecially our defense, conceding 7 goals in last 3 matches is not acceptable .
9ja scores. Its 3:2. Russia still up by 1.
Since the introduction of this guy from benfica, I’ve seen promising in him. What a goal. 3-2.
All umar playing for us are just tall for nothing, this NO11 guy just playing shit.
9ja equalizes. It 3 all akor scores
Ahhhh UMAR sorry ooo, I judged you too early, what an assist.3-3. What a game.
The number 11 is a very good player

Your view is seconded! This is what we’ve been saying!
Let me keep quiet before I’m labelled a jingoist, hehehe!
