i've said it times without number. That guy is not a keeper. He's too jittering in goal. I dont know they made him no 1. Akpeyi beta passam. He should go into fulltime modelling.

Equatorial Guinea has missed too many chances for juju not to be involved

safarigirl:


I've been talking about Cote d'Ivoire (maybe not on here Sha), but I've stated multiple times that I see them as a strong team, even though they lost to Cameroon during WCQ

Another team that has played with seriousness aside Nigeria so far.

yemyke001:


Too wasteful a team

mirinder:
Uganda played a one one draw with iceland. I dare say African football has improved.

You are supposed to be appraising a players Moses S. performance and his failings with wrong decision making and an inability to make a basic accurate cross.

And your response is, Rashord makes the same mistake ( that's not even true) Wow !!! Therefore according to your rational it's OK. Chei.

ChrisKels:
I suggest Eguavoen and his team should not be sacked completely, instead Peseiro should be made the technical director, and Eguavoen the coach

safarigirl:


Sometimes, it also makes people hate on you undeservedly.

People are biased against you just because they believe there has always been a favorable bias towards you.

Anyway, he should congrats on his beauty. He seems to be soaking in the attention sha, posting multiple times in a day for his teeming fans. He should enjoy while the going is good, hopefully, it remains so for the duration of the tournament

Astrid4:


Eguavoen is not the only brain behind our performance against the Egyptians, it takes the collective effort of the technical crew. If we can retain the technical crew with the new coach then we should be good to go.

TheGoodJoe:


Firmino plays as a striker for Liverpool without a pair and it has not limited him for creating chances for others.

charlesemeka85:
Interim Nigeria boss Augustine Eguavoen has acknowledged that Almeria star Umar Sadiq did not play on the same level as Taiwo Awoniyi after coming off the bench to replace the Union Berlin striker in the 72nd minute of a 1-0 win vs Egypt in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday evening.

In truth, Sadiq, who is having another outstanding season at Almeria, did not add value when he came on, failing to hold up play, create a goal threat and didn't cause problems for the backline.

Eguavoen argued that the former Rangers man was nervy because he was playing in his first major tournament - something that didn't hold water as Sadiq was a key member of the Nigeria squad that won bronze at the Olympic Games in 2016, has Serie A experience and sixteen games under his belt in European competitions.

The 24-year-old made his senior debut against the seven-time African champions.

Asked if he was bothered that Sadaq didn't play on the same level as the player he replaced, Eguaoven told reporters at the post-match press conference : "Umar I think this is the first time playing in a very big stage and we have to talk to him.

"He gave me some few excuses after the game but it's something psychological so we have to talk to him and address it in future games."

Sadiq started all the six matches played by the Dream Team VI at the 2016 Olympics, scoring four goals.

TheGoodJoe:


I find that funny because what we saw yesterday was the philosophy of Eguavoen in action. It is his mindset on display.

If you watched the tactical philosophy video of Eguavoen, you will get that the goal came straight from his play book.

The tidy build from the back, the long ball to the flank. The cross. The offensive setup and support getting to the box to finish.

That is 100% Eguavoen.

The coaching crew came together to bring his own philosophy to life.

With a different coach, you get a different approach.

Astrid4:


Firmino is playing deep ...mane and Salah can effectively play as a CF...with firmino dropping deep the formation switch from 4-3-3 to 4-3-1-2 mane and Salah tends to operate more centrally. Liverpool wingers don't 'hug the lines' or perform like a traditional wingers.

komekn:


Is that acceptable ❓

This is the difference from playing in smaller club and league. Aina was able to take a shot from outside the box with his left foot. And he is right footed.

There is no excuse he needs to add to his skull set or he will not progress to a higher level.

JohnBullMySon:
That's what I meant with my last statement. Not just beauty. Wealth, Intelligence, Success also attract negativity. Many people silently wishing you fail. I think that's one of the reasons he's harshly judged here. Average Nigerians tend to support who suffered more in life, which in this case is Uzoho. After being accused of age cheat, he then gets a nasty injury in a match paving the way for an equally young Maduka to grab his shirt and run away with it.

TheGoodJoe:


Who said Mane and Salah hug the lines like traditional wingers? Because, I know it is not me.

komekn:


In improving the team , my question is always not that Omeruo had a good game. Can anybody do better and carry the bar even higher❓

That's how teams improve.

Astrid4:



I agree with some of your assertions but we can disregard the intelligence of the other technical crews, rohr woes started immediately salisu was suspended, you can't undermine or disregard the timely advice or this dude of these technical crew.it reminds Brendan Rodgers and kolo toure scenario.

komekn:


One thing I am almost certain 100% Odion Ighalo is absolutely 200% better than Sadiq Umar, EOD.

mirinder:
Do we need victor moses in this team

Astrid4:


I just use that to butress my point, firmino doesn't play as a striker for Liverpool he is more of a "hole player".

komekn:


What should be the unit of measurement for national team selection in the HERE and NOW.

Consistent outstanding quality performance in your league and club.

Maduka has progressed from the lowly Germany third tier to become the number one goal keeper in his club and league the Eredivisie.

Uzoho has remained in obscurity in the much lower Cypriot league. I am not even sure if he the number one in his club.

Maduka has played way more games in his club than Uzoho almost double his appearances.

Now if you want to be objective , who would you choose.

forgiveness:


Aina is Ambidextrous but we have many in EPL that are one footed. Except you want to tell me there are none.

With your HERE AND NOW Theory, Maduka should not have gotten a callup. Telling us his progress defeats your agenda. You do not know the trajectory of any player after a callup. So if you are repping Maduka, then know he did not get called up with your HERE AND NOW.

ChrisKels:


I doubt Udogie would wanna relinquish his place as the captain of the junior Azzuris for a place in the super eagles. He should be left alone. We have Chinedu Ughelumba who can double as a LB and CB.
