We lost to a team who were tactically superior to us. They forced us to make silly school boy mistakes.

I am surprised at many Nigerians sha... They seem to watch back of TV like we used to say as kids.

Compare our team to that of Algeria and you'd see a massive gap. The Algerians were more tactically astute and surprisingly fitter. The Cameroonian team and South African team were a lot poorer and that was why we had any chance against them.

I have been saying this:

Genot Rorh plays an obsolete brand of football.

In this modern age hardly do you see teams withdrawing into their own half of the pitch when the opposition defenders are bringing it forward. You have to PRESS the defenders and block every expected passing option. Pep Guardiola made this "modern tactics" popular. And many teams use it now.

Madagascar used it against us and we saw the result.

Today, the Algerians did the same thing.

Since the first day of the tournament I watched out football and was immediately unimpressed. Even against Burundi we were playing this kind of obsolete football.

They play like this waiting to counter without any meaningful passing triangles. Once the opposition score, they get out of their shell and start to press. Then once they get a goal, they sit back and start to invite pressure again.

We need a coach that is up to date with modern football... And more importantly can blend our team together as a unit.

I hope Senegal now go ahead and do West Africa proud come Friday

I knew there was something wrong with that their tactics of waiting for the enemy to come to them first. There will always be collateral damages. Fouls, free kicks, corner kicks, and own goals, all in your half.

The loss against inexperienced Madagascar was the first red flag. A team that Tunisia thrashed 3:0

The win against Cameroon and SA was sheer luck. Those two teams were more aggressive and determined. I felt South Africans would even win. They were faster and more dogged. Their moves makes my pulse race. They played with a lot of drive.

I could literally see and feel the pressure and determination from the Algerians. They played like they DESERVE to win.

You can't keep taking all those heat from your opponent and expect to keep surviving.

Honestly our team have been playing a very laid back game from the beginning. They only wake up after you score them.

Better performance next time.

We know the problems the team has. From football management in the country, from interference in managing team affairs, preparation for tournaments, selection of coach, etc.

Tho they might not have been as fantastic as expected.
Momentary loss of concentration, it happens to the best teams in the world. No big deal.
To an extent, the boys played very well but the match slipped away, but our integrity is firm.
We shall plan to fight another day. Up Eagles.

A summary of our major problems.
Ps: stop being myopic and diabolic about the jersey.

1) Coach is useless for subbing Nwankweze instead of musa the 100 meter runner).
2) Goalkeeper is useless for everything...he deserves football ban for life...even monkey post he doesnt deserve to keep
3) our defenders were escorting opponent strikers to our post not defending them.
We are not giant of Africa again now in anything....issorait

Algeria played nothing special! Removing Chukwueze killed the match.

A REPLAY.
The underlining rule in life, is that Luck will take you places, but when you are up against the best, luck will abandon you for preparedness.

From the onset, you could easily discover clearly that the Algerian Defence were not ready to give both Chukwueze and Musa any breathing space., they were ready to choke and starve them of all balls coming in, it was the same thing we did against south Africa, so our charging down the wings game was dead on arrival.

Then down the midfield, one could see clearly who was running things, Mahrez was just there controlling the entire place as if it were his Kitchen, dishing passes at will and starving our eagles to ensure we had no energy to fly. You need to be the very best to play Manchester City.

Ehnn Ehnn, our back line, Nwaziem is one amazing defender i would give everything to sign, the commentator said it,that no one has dribbled past him in the entire tournament, my Nigah, that guy is Taribo west on Steroids.

Ekong... Lols, we know the guy needs to up his confidence level, his ball control is very lousy like mine, but then he couldn't help the goal it came off collins so he didnt anticipate it. The bad thing was that he lost most of his composure after the goal. And as for Omeruo he is good too like Nwaziem, and Collins too tried sha.

But you see that our keeper ? How in the 7hells did the guy come out to represent 200million people ? Forget that one ball he caught, he was just plain lucky, the algerian guy shot the ball directly into him, if say that guy applied even small sense to run forward like Suarez normally does or say he tipped the ball like Messi would, then you know whats up.

And the worst sef was the last minute free kick. The defenders were arranged for one set to jump, while anoda lay on the ground, so one wing of the goal was totally covered, so why then did that basket not move on to cover the other wing of the goal that was not sufficiently covered, the ...... Went and stayed in the behind the wall, if i catch that guy ehn, (shut up Ben, that 19yr old go beat o, im pikin em senior you) but shaa our goal keeper is a true case of our "man know man" corruption coming to bite us.

Ehnn Ehnn Coach, you sef how far you ? From beginning of the tournament it was obvious that our team had no tactics, our game was all about kicking the ball forward for any of our players that caught it, to then run towards the goal with it.
So when the Algerians locked down the wings, our coach was jus out if his wit and couldn't change the gameplab.. Etebo did struggle to regain control of the midfield, and Iwobi was amazing too, I loved the fact that our attacks switched from trying to come down from the wings, to trying to penetrate in through the midfield, but the Algerians were not having any of that, they were not doing ghost/shadow marking as our defenders, who are always moving back, to give the attacker options, their own they moved in, and moved in fast, to get the ball from you. Hence no matter how had Iwobi tried, 3players will just show up and force him to surrender the ball, so our final balls were always weak. Shebi we wanted Musa to shoot, shebi we now see that in place of shots, he was jus passing the ball to the keeper. Lols.

But then, we somehow came back into the game, the Algerian defenders were beginning to run back, and Musa and Iwobi, Chukwueze began making break ins.. But the ..... Coach had the impetus to substitute Chukwueze and bring in that fancy hair guy to audition in a semi-final ? Who does that ? Like who does player trials at Semi Finals ?
I was just mad the moment i saw that sub... And that killed our attack game...
Henry had 3chances to show himself, and i was cursing the coach all those while. Imagine Chukwueze with those chances... (Tunda, u are wasting time bhro).

I know we will win the 3rd place, Tunisia do not have an intimidating attacking line, they are a defensive team, all it takes to beat the present breed of Eagles is to put them on pressure and get Musa and Chukueze to fall right back and get the ball... But las las, I beta pass you, be say I beta pass you, Algeria were better than us all round.. The better team won. And yes we need to sign a petition to ban that Jersey. We all hate it, even luck hates that Jeysey too.

Over and out, your armchair analyst. #Benesis.

Thunder fire Ighalo, in this kind of match you need to be putting pressure by marking their defenders well just like they did to us, but Ighalo chooses to just stand without marking the ball. So why won't dey press us.
