The way Linus passes the ball is so good. He's began spreading the balls wing wards to spread our plays. He was responsible for starting the ball switch sequence leading to our 3rd goal.

Love the intelligence to draw that foul too deep in our own half whole under pressure to relieve the pressure on our defence.

This lad is golden at this level. No caps.

You guys are seeing that Ugbade hasn't been playing some of the best players in this team.

Imagine benching Charles Agada since the tournament started and giving him cameos only to see him become the live wire of an attack that Abdullahi Abubakar was supposed to carry.

Another lad I know that will make instant impact is the Number 10 lad, IFEOLUWA OLOWOPOROKU of Triple 44 FA. That guy is the youngest in this team and among the smallest but he is quite a whirlwind of a player. An Attacking Midfield pearl. Ugbade is yet to give him his chance. Time will tell.


#MDU17AfconDiaries

He will never play ifeoluwa especially since he has a small stature like you're saying Nigerian coaches don't believe in small stature players.

He has taken off Agada and the attack now seems toothless.

It's a sad mentality to have.

Small stature yet it is the smallest player on the pitch who bamboozled our entire defence in the final moment of the first half.

The smallest player on the pitch is SA's best player and one of the best lads on the pitch on both sides.

Ugbade needs to understand this team needs Olowoporoku's whirlwind talents.

Linus shoots from long range to often which is bad for someone who wants to play football professionally..

He should stick to short passes and stop long balls unless he is making defensive clearance.

He didn't shoot this often in the first two games. His shooting today was obviously instructions-based from the coaches.

And his long balls have helped us sustain pressure and keep control and switch plays in certain phases of plays. He has been good. Really good.

He should stop his long range shots... Ugbade and the coaching staff made wrong decision telling the players to shoot from long range.

The coach may tell you that he's not aggressive enough or doesn't have enough stamina.

It is bias and favoritism.. typical of our local coaches.
