At a time this season, only Mbappe was leading Moses Simeon on the assist stat in League 1

Definitely, Moses Simon was the Man of the Match.

A lot of these Pundits dont know what "Man of the Match" means, they think it is just the Goal Scorer.

In order of contribution to the Game,
1) Moses Simon - he was just too much to handle
2) Awoniyi - Though his finishing was not good enough, his "in your face" attitude and Energy at challenging the Egyptian back three, gave room for our Mid-field to operate and this reduce pressure on Sluggish defense

Under-Performer Medal goes to Iheanacho, despite being the Goal Scorer. He wasted at least three other clear, scoring chances, including that one of empty net where he could not trap the ball properly!
I hate wasteful Strikers because a team may have only one opportunity and a good Striker has to make the best of it.

The worst of them, all is that Bean-Pole Striker they brought in towards the end. grin
The funky Mallam was just out of his depth

Moses Simeon only has oace and nothing more. Supported the defence. His crosses were terrible, his passes were terrible and he almost gave out a cheap penalty with his miscalculated collision on a player.

Although I am tempted to say Moses Simon, but Wilfred Ndidi was really a technical disruption for the Egyptians... if you look well and see what Ndidi was doing to the Egyptian play then you'd give him the man of the match clearly.

Zaidu Sanusi is my own Man of the Match.

Spot on. That guy was responsible for Sallahs nearly non existence on the field of play today. He was composed and played very well.

Aribo surprised me with his performance today. I know he was good...but he did way better today.

Moses Simon for me... He was really a torn in the flesh, for the eyptian defence... For once I was proud of being a Nigerian after a long time...

Same with me... But our bigot politicians keep making us to fight our with their shrewd and greedy policies that makes one feel he/she is not part of the country.

We (southerners) are not supposed to be pressing for sessesion but against bad policies. But the northern part keep putting confusion and the so-called elites in the south (for selfishness) in other to have their ways.

We thought we have got it right when southern governors stood up in unity to fight for equity, when we finally realized to purpose was to foster another greedy agenda and not for equity.

Only sacrifices can make the south capture the government and turn Nigeria to our desired state.

Iheanacho goal was basically out of nothing. Well deserved man of the match, his moment of sheer Individual brilliance and quality won the match for Nigeria.

Simon Moses all activity and no end product. An Adama Traore-esque performance, carried threat without end product.
Can't cross to save his life, final third decision making is at best juvenile.
Nevertheless, a good outlet to have , but not a match winning player.

Notable mention to Ndidi, was Rock solid in Midfield.

Chukwueze was disappointing.

Okoye the GK made a wonderful save to keep out Salah goal bound effort with his trailing foot.
Going forward. Awoniyi and Sadiq look like downgrades on Osimhen. That's where the problem lies.
You forgot Joe Aribo. He was the best baller for us and the best passer of the ball.

The funky Mallam was just out of his depth

To be honest this team has good forwards but lacks a natural #9 striker... This is the reason why despite all the available talent, a name like Ighalo keeps coming up.

A #9's job is not just about scoring but by constantly exploiting the half space between the two center-backs, while playing with his back to goal. Doing that poaching movement effectively, will make the opposition's defensive Midfielders to drop deeper automatically and thus create space for the second striker or attacking Midfielder to operate.

Nobody was doing that in this game... all the players are ball carriers (speed reliant or dribblers), which is a technical deficiency in a team, if everyone is just a speedy ball carrier.

The good thing is that Eguavoen played according to the strengths of this team, he used the teams speed and ball carrying to his advantage, basically everybody attacked, and everybody defended.

But Ideally, The super eagles need's a traditional #9 (Basically technical movement that can force opposition center-backs and clinical finishing for chances created) not just a ball carrying forward.

Moses Simon is fast but not Technical... he was able to beat defenders but his choices after beating a player were poor.

Chuwueze would function more if a Number 9 could make movements that would give him more space, he did well but he didn't have a performance that we know he can deliver.

Ndidi is just a Legend! I don't want anything more or anything less from him at AFCON.

I was Impressed with Okoye's distribution in this game... however he wasn't tested so I can't say much about his actual save rate. Regardless he has a clean sheet.

Zaidu and Ola Aina were solid, attack participation and defence duty were checked.

Troost needs to maintain this form, he was completely solid and made no errors.

Omeruo was solid, but his injury... I hope he is OK.

Ejuke needs more play time, and if he is given more playing time he needs to be encouraged to cross often when he makes those defense splitting runs.

I am of the Opinion that Iheanacho should work more on his (Right) weaker foot, some opportunities he had should have been with his weaker foot.

Joe Aribo pairs well with Ndidi...

We won't get the best out of Iwobi if there is no proper #9

I expect Nwakali to have more playing time

Awoniyi although a good ball carrying center forward, is not a traditional 9, (His "off the ball movements" tell the story) however he pairs well with Iheanacho.

My overall analysis is that this team has a lot of talent but also a major technical issue, however I like the fact that Unlike Rohr who would have stuck to a default system despite the technical problem, Eguavoen played to the strengths of the players he has. for example regardless of the fact you are a defender, if you have the speed to sprint up and shoot and sprint back quickly to defend, oya then Do it!

and they did it well.... smiley
