These boys played rubbish throughout the tournament.

If that rubbish took them to the final. What will you say of other teams that did not get there.

Frank Onyeka was outstanding. He proved to be a rock throughout the tournament. If we had a good central midfielder that he can work with together with Moses Simon who should have started the game and not chukwueze we would have won the nation's cup.
Lack of a quality central midfielder was what made paseiro change formation to 5-3-2 and 5-4-1. throughout the tournament

You pack bus after scoring one goal in first half and with 66 to 33% ball possession....as if we were 2 men down...and you wan lift cup... 😂

they wanted to repeat the S.A fluke were south africa possessed the ball throughout . i wonder why Nigerians never got worried about the teams ability to possess football in a technical way untl yesterday.. They were lagging behind in almost all the teams the teams they met ...Little or no goal on targer, Just waiting for osimen foul to get a penalty or mistake by the opponents defender ...Thats not a good tactic to build a team

Watianoengineer:
so na this figure head Osimhen Wan go madrid/arsenal and Co? A so called African best without impact. He better remain in Naples and be scoring his Tap Ins. Whether we like it or not Osimhen is not a world class striker. I don't see the reason for the Osimhen hype. Very average. Even Yak and Julius Aghahowa that never won CAF best were more prolific in front of goal. See that Sebastian haller has been a beast since his Ajax days. He was diagnosed with cancer, recovered, started two games for ivory coast and scored both winning goals. That is the job of a sensible striker. We keep consoling ourselves with Osimhen dey disturb defenders, he sabi put pressure but when he was needed most he was no where to be found. If Osimhen had the balls to play all our penalties rather than Ekong it would add to his tally. Such an unreliable No 9. Iwobi and that chukwueze should never be invited again. Very mediocre set of fools

You obviously don't know anything about football.

paskal16:
sub option for who lmao?
Yusuf?
Do you even think we have options in those positions
A starter for Brentford
Did all our dirty work as a dm... he was partnering with a bozo iwobi

We don't have good midfielders there.
Ndidi, in his prime was a better choice in the defensive role.
We have no good playmakers and CMs

But that fake Africa best player is a fraud abi?

Nbote:
He was the only player in the midfield even though he was poor yesterday. I didn't understand how every single player in the team starts running back towards their 18 yard box everytime the opposition is running at them with the ball. Like what pattern of football was that

my guy that yesterday pattern weak me oooooo.

Unsong hero of the tournament. Doing all the marking in d midfield...

How would you rate Ajayi?How would you rate Ajayi?...

He was amazing

Far from Frank Onyeka. Semi Ajayi is far better than Onyeka.

That was why I kept saying that the midfield could do better.

TOPCRUISE:

If that rubbish took them to the final. What will you say of other teams that did not get there.

They got to the final by fluke.

See how we are now glorifying a midfielder that can only tackle but can not pass.
This is how low we have sunk in our standards for the Super Eagles.
Our National team has been turned to a team that parks the bus
And we are okaying it, not knowing that we are destroying the culture of Nigerian football.
In the past we have had midfielders like Onyeka, hard workers that do the dirty job but are not creative.
Thompson Oliha, Moses Kpakor, Garba Lawal, Seyi Olofinjana, etc.
But because our team always played with flair, we never glorified them.
Sunday Oliseh is still regarded as our best defensive midfielder ever because he can not only tackle but is creative too.
But today, Peseiro has turned us to Stoke City, complete with the long throw ins.
And we see nothing wrong with that because of short term results.
By the time our eyes clear, we will even be parking the bus against Sao Tome and Principe.

Nairaland and there nonsense sha. How this take enter FP? Player of the tournament? with how many goals and assists?

Vlibray:

They got to the final by fluke.

Then ivory coast got there too by Fluke. That shows to be a champion you have to be a fluke.

Cowardly football

... SE starting line-up was just an error, the coach shouldn't have kept moses Simon in bench, that's a complete blunder from the onset, look at the match against Cameroon, there was fighting spirit all through from the blast of the whistle to the end, that was lacking against CIV .. if I were to be the coach who have experienced iwobi's lacklustre performance against SA in the Semifinals, I would use Iheanacho to replace iwobi in my starting formation GK: Nwabali DF: Calvin bassey LB, Ekong and Ajayi CB, Aina/Bright osayi RB, DMF Onyeka DMF Yusuf, AMF: Iheanacho LW Moses Simon CF: Osimhen RW: Lookman. In the 2nd half: I switch immediately to 4-4-2 introducing Terem moffi to sub Lookman or Simon cos I need Osimhen to pair moffi together no parking of bus abeg. I may even decide to sub Osimhen for Moffi and that strictly depends on how exhausted Osimhen was in the game

Onyeka was a rock and an efficient sweeper, but Iwobi really made him suffer.
