He always rely on wingers to give him a tap into the net pass.

He is not a modern 9

Ighalos goals most times comes from assist.
Leave one one one with a defender to dribble and score,he most times cannot.

I've been avoiding a place in my heart to think of super eagles for d past 2 days.. Pls let's just forget about them.. How can that clown akpeyi be our keeper. See the stupid wall he formed. Now stood behind d wall..

He just made d mahrez free kick look spectacular.. In fact I'm short of words
I am very disappointed in Akpeyi for his positioning. The tallest defenders we have had positioned directly opposite the ball, and we even have a man beneath the wall (Onyekuru) in case Mahrez intend to hit it low and hard. Akpeyi still went ahead to stand behind that wall for Christ sake. It would take a miracle to get the ball past that wall for Christ sake, even Mahrez knows this. The only Good Akpeyi was to do is to stay away n cover the area where there's space. A free kick in that range doesn't normally go through the wall, especially when you have tall defenders there (Ekong, Omeruo, Ndidi, Awaziem) , that's why takers normally go for the blank space with swerve and venom, which is why a gk should leave that wall n focus on that area. That's why in most cases if the fk taker eventually decides to go through the wall and the ball scores, the gk won't really be blamed.

I've watched the images repeatedly and I'm totally disappointed as to why our gk was behind the wall, in this kinda free kick situation, which is extremely close to goal.
Dani Alves has scored this kinda free kicks on many occasions, all that's needed is power.
We need a good gk

Brother I am of the same opinion here. I mean this guy lacks positioning, forming a wall and standing behind it, damn! I said it that Rhor's affinity to Akpeyi will do us strong thing. Las Las e don happen.

Generally, it was a lacklustre game from the mediocre semi-super eagles.

Downgrading anything African just to look or feel "westernized" if there is a word like that, when the whites help them in finishing what they started they would be quick to shout RACISM!

Skykid1208, try and understand my point: modern day players (all around the world, not only Africa) are not performing very well. I'm not bringing Africa down.

That's it bro, we need to support our own in Africa. The only downside of the afcon competition so far is the turn out of Spectators , really disappointed at the Egyptians

it doesn't matter ,if I am right Torres won European highest goal scorer with 5 goals, iniesta sneidjer also in 2010 world ,Kane too in 2018 world cup with 5 goals.
There is still a possibility that Ighalo will score more to reach 5 goals.
