Both Darwin and Osimhen are at same level, brother.

Don't draw no agenda, here.

charlesemeka85:
Victor boniface starts for USG against Ostende

TheLoneCitizen:
How many "mumuish" displays has Osimhen dropped?

You owe Nunez an apology, because unlike Victor, he made these mistakes at the highest level.

Windscribe:
Napoli got three red hot Strikers, The team appears to have moved on from the abysmal trànsfer of V.Oshimen.

I don't expect him to break into the team XI àt the moment.

Joebie:
I would rather have Aribo as an SS than AM.

elyte89:
Well I still like partey and Kessie to him

Meliforme:
Flexibility is key.

Jose Peseiro strategy was directly play. Our organization on the pitch showed a team that trained principally to utilize the direct play strategy. This is seen in the manner at which we transitioned from defense to attack. The transition was quick. Again we utilized more of zonal marking which goes together with direct play. Our zonal marking system nullified the Algerians, but the discipline to calmly execute the zonal marking strategy some of the times, was in want. Our ability to maintain calm and discipline to stick to our philosophy was greatly tried by the Algerian hostilities.

Guys i tell you that Jose Peseiro perfected his strategy. I believe the players perfected that in training. A big thumbs up to him. Possession football was never in his plans.

Jose Peseiro plans worked well in the early minutes of the first half. The Algerians seemed to have adopted a similar strategy, but having seen that they can't compete with us using direct play approach, switched to possession football. Flexibility is key.

I want us to know that this is an experiment. It's just a friendly.

Dannyxy:
Iwobi is such a good player…

codemaniacs:
I hope all the Nigerian coaches are watching how Brazil is using their wings despite having good dribblers none of their players is waiting for opposition defenders to catch up to them like the way Moses Simon plays..

charlesemeka85:

Algeria’s best CM in europe- Ismael Bennacer (Ac Milan serie A)

TheLoneCitizen:
Anguissa having a good game says more on Liverpool than him.

Zambo is one of the more lackadaisical DMs this season. Very unprotective of his defence.

Anguissa is best a box-box.

joelsteron:
I am hoping Peseiro will use 3 men in defence someday pairing (Akpoguma , Ndidi , Bassey). Moving Aina and Zaidu to the middle having with Iwobi and Aribo. Then Monster machine flanked by simon and Lookman.

Mickael2:
He is a DMF, it's literally his job to delay transition once in a while. You can't play gongho for 90minutes, have you seen Busquets turning in the middle of the pitch before? A good DMF should know when to slow the ball down, you may not like it but it is what it is. It is left for Iwobi or whoever the pacesetter is in the team to request the ball from him and move it.

daveP:
Coaching crew calling names until it reaches iwobi then silence.

That's confidence in his decisions making

femianski:
Our bredas were walloped 4:1 by Japan

Curtisaxel10:
What I love the most about today's game is how the coach read the game, made one tactical switch and turned the match around.

It seems we finally have a real game reader for a coach. Exciting times ahead.

PS:
Peseiro did exhibit some Rohr-ish traits though. Like refusing to remove Chukwueze until around the 80th minute even when it was clear that Samu had gassed out around the late 60s. And we had a fresh Dennis and Lookman on the bench!.

Also, Osimhen got injured towards the end and was limping around in pain but Peseiro somehow preferred to keep him on in that state than to bring on a fresh Dessers or Moffi (until extra time). I just can't wrap my head around that decision.

On the whole, good show!

charlesemeka85:
am not enjoying it one bit cus the midfield is too lean to my liking and almost non existence when the opponent is on a counter attack

charlesemeka85:
Umar should be subbed for Dennis if he is fit and Instructed to drop a bit deeper to help the midfield

JohnBullMySon:
This team is much more coordinated under Peseiro.

fabyom:
I know he will play 4-4-2. I pray it works!

Apart from me..who else is interested in tomorrow's match
