The strength of an attack lies in a well coordinated and oil midfield. If we can't get a sound midfield set up, we can't flourish in attack.

My support for JPes come to an end this Night. Its time to kick him out of Nigeria.

TheSuperNerd:
Our approach in this second half is part of the reasons I don't rate Jose Peseiro as our coach. His attacking side is poor but I give him credit for taking some advice on and making some changes in our personnel selection.

Didn't expect him to get far with his 442 but his changes to 433 and then 343 saw me take notice of what he could be cooking. He went with what worked for him and gave a nation Joy.

I wouldn't mind him staying beyond the Afcon to continue the WCQs path but I also won't mind him leaving especially knowing that we need a proper coach who can come in, fix our midfield properly and fully utilise the powers in our attack.



We went 1-0 up and should have not let our foot off the gas in the second half. We should been doing a double over CIV today if we had taken the game to them for the first 25mins of that second half.

It is well. Well done to the lads. But I am not happy. Coming this far, taking the lead and losing it this way makes me sad.

We move.

Who is now the loser between me and you. 😭😭😭

codemaniacs:


Ref doesn't kill momentum.

You players to build momentum..

Give Bielsa this team and you would see momentum.

TheGoodJoe:


To some people it is going far. To me it is just fluke.

I never said Peseiro should change his tactics. I said the team is not growing in play. He can't even build a midfield.

Hope you are fine?

Are you not tired?

Joebie:
I hate to do this at this time.. but I'm not a prophet. It just turns out that CIV picked up local coach at some point, and it was a fairy tale run from then on. They didn't play like they were under pressure. There were the more motivated, more hungry team. They deserved it.

Nigeria has the potential to be an even better team. Our strength lies in our attack. We didn't see that in this tourney.

COOL10:



We're playing with just two midfielders in that central area, so it's expected for our midfield to be overcrowded, besides we're playing with a creative midfielder who's being tasked to play as a deep lying central midfielder. That's just like expecting Mesut Ozil to play as a CM and also expecting him to mark like Gattuso. It's not gonna work.


Iwobi has been removed, so you people can now rest

Ayew kidding me?
On February 11 just like today you ghana cry!!!

Joebie:
our defense took us this far, but our lean midfield was always gonna hunt us at some point, even if we had won this AFCON.

forgiveness:


Oga, the battle was lost in the midfield.

caprikon:
No need kicking the team at this moment.

Never expected Naija to go this far.

Ivory Coast is the story of the tourney though.Mehn their mentality is monstrous.

Kudos to the guys and the coach.

But this night has shown us one thing, negative football has it's limitations. We ended up conceding as many goals in the final as we did all through the tournament prior to the finals.

The team that takes the initiative, will most likely carry the day in the end.

kennysville:



For me Chukwueze should not have started and I saw iwobi lost most times in the game which basically leads to breakdown in the midfield. Maybe we go rest on top this attacking talents small and concentrate on what has largely been lacking in the team which is our midfield. Enough of concessions of possession. It's not our style. It may have worked thus far but it can only work so far

zicky:
Bro we don't have the midfield to attack any team.

BankyGee:

Now I can confirm you're a proper ram 🐏
Since group stages you dey predict loss match after match and you've always been proven to be an Id!ot and you're proudly carrying the tag. Smh

COOL10:



Well, that "fluke" got us to our first final since 2013. I've always been an advocate for possession football, but that doesn't mean I won't say the truth when I see it.


Peseiro's tactics worked for this AFCON and I respect him for that .

chuks404:
no one takes you serious

codemaniacs:


It's not only the midfield that needs fixing.

The wingers, and the attack also needs fixing.

Osimhen didn't do enough in this tournament.

We can't keep defending. We need to do more attacking
