what some people are failing to understand is that there is a coach in the opposing team who has prepared hard to neutralize our style.. it's down to a war between both coaches here. We are playing mostly Sundowns players.. we have the players, it's down to the coach.

Osimhen isn't able to press as usual, creating problems for the coach. But God forbid we allow a fully fit proven striker on the bench to play.

Even from a wheelchair, Osimhen must play.

ChrisKels:
We are winning this match guys

If SA scores first, it may be difficult

Our toughest game so far. South Africa is reaping the benefits of their massive investments in their league over the years. See as them dey pass like prime Barcelona.

No wahala Sha. I just hope we will manage and see one goal and lock up shop.

Curtisaxel17:
We need to bring our backline lower. Hugo Broos has figured out that long balls are the way to destroy our defence.

This game is a pure strategy war at this point. Brain versus brain. So far, Broos is winning.

Thank you, SA is going long and bypassing the midfield and taking long shots.

Marjoribanks:
Sanusi where are you ooo! We are sorry! lol!

SA wan wound Osayi and Aina can't use his left properly.

This is gonna be a long ride!

I thought you loved osayi for RB

And you said aina can do whatever sanusi can even at a higher degree how e be now ?

codemaniacs:


You can't remove Lookman or iwobi that's madness.

Lookman is the scorer while Iwobi is controlling the midfield.

Iwobi isn't marking and that's a big problem. He's been really lackadaisical.

it gonna take luck for us to win i just hope we take our chances when it comes

A back 4 with a stationary DM will deal with those spaces.

That's the problem..

A DM is not stationary. It's a CB that's stationary.

mrwilliams9:


Guy, your act is very boring

I'm no clown to amuse you .....cry

They have kept Lookman quiet in today's game. Time for the others to step up.

We need to be unpredictable. They are countering our game so far. Dig into the reserves and switch things up or pass a different instruction. Jpes is up to you.

Our defense has face more pressure in this one match than the entire tournament combined 😭

Mujtahida:
I'm not feeling good about this match

As in ehn, I'm so uncomfortable it feels like whoever scores first wins

To win this match we must not concede first

You'd have to sacrifice something to reap something sha

just enjoy the game guys , the team is badly set up . until JPES . understand that the 2 men midfield will not win him this match

Exactly. We need to be clinical and Osimhen's missing may hurt us here. I am also skeptical about his fitness.

typicalgamer:


Bright osayi Samuel is not built like a native defender he’s a wingback his main goal is to overlap and create chances

In the case of defending he’s a horrible defender i keep saying this right from our earlier games but hate for sanusi won’t make you guys see that

Zaidi would have got wasted by Percy, and would probably conceded a penalty by now with one tash challenge too many.

Could Zaidu have contributed to the attack with quality precision balls, a capital big NO

It’s not even crying, I’m just looking at your posts like

“Isn’t this man jobless, does’t he have something better to do?”

People always running up and down for attention is always odd to me sha. But do you, if this is what gives you pleasure, then so be it.

I just think it makes you look childish

I am sorry ooo my brother! lol!

Team chemistry missing today with SE so far.

I hope all those heavy with criticism on Zaidu can see how far with Osayi. Osimhen seems tired and may be truly not match fit judging by his work rate in the first half. Lookman needs to have more ball on his legs at the final third

We’ve been exposed tactically

Paseiro you have 45 mins to prove your enemies wrong, am only appealing to you. Perhaps truly you have signed a new contract with another team and met your target with the Eagles but it won't hurt to prove your detractors wrong again. Good luck

n o chance was created for Osimhen . not even a single chance . we have not done anything spectacular

South Africa coach said this and he got it right in the first half...wasn't worry about Osimhen but Lookman.

We are no longer defending in numbers

JPes is being exposed tactically.

Let's see how he reacts

I expected at least 2 changes at this half time.
Omerou for osayi and yusuf for iwobi.
Delay in this subtitutions may see us trailing.

Osimhen is not his usual pressing self. He needs to be substituted.

Make everybody rest abeg .. Osimhen is not pressing from the front which is why Iwobi and Onyeka are doing the marking. Unfortunately, that leaves a gap in our Midfield which SA is exploiting. Moffi should come in for Osimhen if the latter is no fit. Or let's overload the midfield and pair Simon and Lookman up front.
