Cameroon beat them at the World Cup. Brazil is just name without Neymar. Brazil is not that good. The same Morocco struggled to beat South Africa at home. Abeg, rest
What Morocco 🇲🇦 played outclass what Cameroon 🇨🇲 played. Morocco dominated the game and threatened Brazil more. Take it or leave it Morocco is one of the best in the world now because of good leadership and investment in sports.

South Africa game was wayyyy before the World Cup bro and under a different coach, this their coach now is a mastermind and braniac, always reading the game and communicating with his players. Not like one person that only knows how to wear T-shirts and jeans and finish two packets of bottle water before the end of first half. Thank God they'll be playing South Africa again in this year's qualifications. Let's see something ✍🏾

"Bendel Insurance will beat Ponferradina COMPREHENSIVELY" has got to be the biggest statement of football ignorance made as we approach the end of the year's first quarter. Where is the brilliance in such statement? Where is the truth? Where is the sense of research thinking done to reach such obviously absurd conclusion?


What a load of garbage that is. Uttered all in a bid to talk down on a midfielder that he is obviously miffed to see make TEAM OF THE WEEK in La Liga Smartbank 🤣🤣🤣

Dread it, run from it... But the Super Eagles midfield need Kelechi Nwakali. His combination with Alex Iwobi in the middle will bring delight to our middle game plays and extra smoothness to our playing dynamics. All they need behind them is a ball playing, ball winning CDM. We can manage Ndidi with Nwakali and Iwobi paired but the Truth is with/in time, Onyedika would have to step in alongside the Nwakali-Iwobi duo to upgrade that midfield in the 2nd phase of build up plays in addition to the defensive steel he is expected to provide.

Enough of this hiding from the truth all in the name of agenda. Agenda that doesn't add anything to you and certainly doesn't help the team.

We have a midfield problem and we need the right personnel to come in and fix things. From Kelechi Nwakali to Alhassan Yusuf to Raphael Onyedika, we have the pieces to upgrading our middle game structure to masterpiece level alongside the pieces already there in Iwobi, Ndidi, Onyeka and co.


Think Brilliance. Think Unbiased Solutions. We are talking about the Super Eagles here. So you are happy a player based in Iran, in the bloody persian gulf pro league, came to Abuja and outmuscled/outclassed our EPL-based midfielders in several phases of plays? Na wa.

Omo boss, Neymar might be a key Brazilian player but "Brazil" is a name that makes opponents work had to defeat them. What happened to world-class players like Casemiro, Rodrygo, Anthony and Vinicius Jnr? They no come play na, they came to win.

Morocco deserves every respect they can get. Failure to learn from those close to us is what is still dragging our football back. Forget this thread, outside this thread, the world is standing in awe of Morocco right now.
Many people said Morocco's World Cup run was luck, well, they're making a statement that it's not luck but hardwork.

If this same Brazil squad plays against us the same way they played against Morocco, it's otilo for us. No cap

I'll say it again, Morocco is what we want the Super Eagles 🦅 to be and more... We just never ready yet.

He also plays from the left for Atalanta.

codemaniacs:


Play Ejuke or Aribo on the left and play Chukwueze or Lookman on the right.

Lookman plays from the right for Atlanta.

If Aina was playing he would have made more crosses than Osayi. Osayi plays safe football and that's good when you're leading but troubling when you're losing.

A World Class Attacking Force, an underpar and tactically imbalanced midfield and an average defence.

That is the summary of the Super Eagles.

How would the iron-head of a hammer hit its target when the handle is bad? Like really bad.

Guy you're the one that needs to rest.

I'm a diehard fan of the Super Eagles 🦅 but when you see the truth, you say it. Under a good coach, we'd perform better than Morocco, I know that, but now, no vex, Super Eagles 🦅 would've collected 4-2 or 4-1 from this same squad that Morocco 🇲🇦 outplayed.

You're talking about Brazilian defence, what about our own defence two days ago? Brazil would've punished us mercilessly.

We've qualified for World Cup more times than Morocco, it took Morocco just a little opportunity to show themselves to the world, reaching a world cup semifinals. Is that what mediocrity means to you? Please download a dictionary app.

You're the one hyping mediocrity here!

Akpoguma & Bassey as Centre Bacck is a recipe for defeat. These two are so poor watching them play together. The only place for bassey should be Leftback while zaidu sit on the bench. Uzoho is a damn too poor a goalkeeper. Lately, i will rate Agbim better than him.

He is efficient and influential from both sides. One thing you must understand is when on the right he isn't operating as a right winger exactly but as a right sided forward in a front 2.

On the left, he does same in addition to also operating as an inside forward who attacks the left halfspace efficiently.

The moment Chukweze understands Osayi's movement that right side will be deadly. I would prefer an Aina and Simon/Lookman on the left.

They mumu yourself for there
Before them go understand each other movem
Maybe during next World Cup group stage

Cerezo
Amunike
Ndubuisi Egbo
Finidi
Emenalo
Oliseh(has attitude issues)
Since we don't have money to hire quality foreign coaches.

I have said it several times dt d pairing of akpos and bassey got exposed during d friendly against Algeria..I don’t even like cin bassey as a cb for eagles . I lose confidence in him in Dt position cos he doesn’t possess dt “calm calculative attitude most cb defenders have,hence prone to making rash decisions/mistake.he’s better off playing as a left back

And u c dt akpos…dt one na anoda “poor ekong”. As bad as ekong is,I prefer ekong to him

Leave him let him keep capping. Match that was played a long way before the World Cup... Ended 2-1 in favour of Morocco.

After the World Cup, I remember rewatching that match again to see their playing style with South Africa then and I came to the conclusion that they've grown a lot, no cap...

This is my problem with the NFF. Our U23 eagles recorded a barren draw at home and are scheduled to leave Nigeria for Morocco for the 2nd leg on Sunday night while their Guinean counterparts are already in Morocco since Friday evening. We are not just serious in this country.

Fact is, Morocco has proven to be a formidable force in footballing world without an inkling of doubt.

They beat Belgium, Portugal, Canada, Spain and now Brazil... All these teams are ranked in the top 10 ranking except Canada, and guess what? Morocco beat these guys as the 22nd ranked team in the world then, except Brazil of course. This is a clear enough statement from the Atlas Lions 🦁

Brazil is Brazil. Class is class. Give them their flowers. A team that has Casemiro and Vinicius Jnr should be formidable enough.

All these teams I listed above will beat the Eagles effortlessly. Let's ask Jão Felix, (a Portugese squad without Ronaldo, flogged us 4-0). The Moroccans also played the same squad in a competitive match and won, with Ronaldo later coming off the bench o 😂

To me, I don't see what Neymar would have done differently to change the result of the game walahi. Class is class 😎

That's fine. I wasn't expecting to change anyone's mind but I said my mind.

A team that could not beat Croatia with Neymar should stand no chance vs Morocco without him. I am not putting Morocco down I'm just stating facts.
