I don’t GAF about the performance, all I care about is the result. Rohr achieved a 3rd place result last tournament and even defeated cameroun, South Africa. Egu must surpass it to consider this tournament a success

andrewbaba44:


Lies from the pit of hell

Mujtahida:

He must not surpass it. He's practically been with the team for less than a month. We are playing well. That is immensely satisfying to me. A trophy will be an icing on the cake. I really do want them to win a trophy but if we don't win it, we will treasure the immense potential of this team.

12large1:


Yes, we’re playing well but we must aim to progress and not regress. At the last tournament, we achieved a 3rd place it’s normal to aspire/aim to do better than the last tournament. A 1st or 2nd place will be consider as progress

comodo:
I watched all the corner kicks and set piece from Nwakali. They were all right on point. How did we not bury even one

alekside:
Forget the unnecessary hype on this thread. Nwakali is a good player. His not playing in a top league is definitely not because of lack of talent. I was really impressed with his calmness on the ball.

Danielnino00:
Etebo would have turned to Kante under his set up.. That man has 20 lungs ..

Curtisaxel10:
How on earth Rohr was able to imprison Simon Moses on the pitch for five years needs to be studied in universities. How can a player go from a bang average defensive fullback to prime Neymar with just a change of coach? What the heck was Gernot doing to Simon?!

I'm not even angry with Rohr. I'm astounded.

Joebie:
In this tournament, I disagree. Ejuke has a better work rate. He needs to improve in decision making. Chuks on his part never start yet, but may explode as we progress.

Congrats to the Super Eagles on being the first team to achieve a 100% record at this AFCON!

Meanwhile, we say goodbye to both Sudan and Guinea Bissau

MetalJigsaw:
New record: Nigeria has never won all three group matches in the past.

By the way, wetin Cerezo dey give Simon chop?

He parried the ball straight into the pathway of the oncoming player, they nearly go the rebound and scored.

It's very poor to goalkeeping it's literally a school boy error

lbrichman2:


Truth be told, I still want to see Sadiq given more minutes albeit in a different set up
He may have missed chances today, but I feel it's due more to his nerves than ability
That goal would do wonders for his confidence
I believe we will see a different Sadiq next time

drDoom3:
Sadiq seems like a confidence player. You could literally feel the relief on his face after scoring that goal. Too bad he was taken off immediately after, I think he would have played a lot differently.

Problem is, confidence players usually don't do well in high-pressure situations, especially with national teams where no spot is guaranteed.

Despite his woeful performances so far, I still feel like the guy can come good.

daveP:



Minus 3 abeg. For that Sadiq starter. Lol

TheGoodJoe:


I thought the commentator said Eguaavoen won all three group games before this one.

drDoom3:


Talented player on the ball. Very good set pieces.

Off the ball though, he has a long way to go. Ndidi was too stressed today.

Kog45:
Nwakili reminded me of Mikel today but as you said off the ball he need to do more but he would have flourish with Ndidi,Aribo playing behind him in three man midfield and Awoniyi upfront but meaning Iheanacho will be on the bemch which is very unlikely with Simeon and Chuckwueze on the flank 4-3-3

Oga Joe,Ejuke and Chuckwueze dey fall my hand o....imagine I rated Ejuke than Simon but I was wronged...I always see Chuckwueze as unplayable player in GWG but so far am not impressed......the duo just need up their games cos we have Dennis,Lookman and Kalu waiting after Afcon

Mujtahida:

OH lord, this boy is good. This one no be jibola. This Ndah na bolaji

Mujtahida:

He will never be loved. Even if he scores loads of goals. Personally I wish he'd continue to be given more time but can we afford the luxury?

codemaniacs:


Super Eagles have not played against a strong team especially a team with a strong attack..

It's normal to play well against teams like sudan, equatorial guinea, an underperforming Egypt..

Eguavoen major advantage for now is the fact that he is playing attacking football if Super Eagles concedes first and changes to a defensive pattern then SE will be in trouble.

Hopefully eguavoen doesn't change his attacking game.
