We will beat Gabon. I'm almost 100% certain. I don't know why but I'm starting to have serious nerves about the potential next game against DRC or Cameroon. 🤧

Samueltemi337:
We will win Gabon
I don't want to meet Cameroon in the finals

Samueltemi337:
Na Gabon you dey do all these ones for 😒

soetanoreoluwa:
Where is Victor Osimhen ?

lexyman:
I ve watched different highlights of Gabon matches , its seems they are not as good as what the paper make them look .... this match will end in 4-1 in Favour of Nigeria .... these Gabonese guys couldnt spring 2to 3 passes together . also a very bad defence ., not as bad as what Nwabali and Ekong made SE defence to look ... but in all ... SE is better off and we will be a very difficult nut to crack .


On paper and on the pitch, Nigeria is the stronger side. Gabon struggle with ball retention, defensive shape, and transitions — all things SE can punish them heavily.

robosky02:
As Benin Republic that planned to cage Osimhen
Ask Ajax coach that planned to cage Osimhen

What was the story at the end

Odunayaw:
Obviously it is one of your suggestions I'm discussing.

Using one substitution just 25mins into a game is a waste as far as I'm concerned.

Odunayaw:
In essence, waste one substitution because of what Mouyouma said?

As far as the wingers keep their full backs very occupied, Osimhen will always be free

QueenJazz:
Why everybody on Twitter come talk say he never come?

Anyway thank God, if he's really around.

Nonso92:
I’ll follow this thread. To win obviously, but mostly for fun

MetalJigsaw:
We have another Osimhen in Abdul Afiz playing in Thailand. He scores for fun... Eric Chelle do the needful if you want to win AFCON...

Issorite.
If you can do this, you will end up with many followers on nairaland

9JAMac10:
Where Alhassan Yusuf and maduka okoye ?? From Italy to Morocco is proximal and USA to Morocco is 7-8 hour flight. At least Osimhen can be granted grace based in his antecedents in the national team . It no go funny if Nigeria 🇳🇬 lose on Thursday. Remember there’s penalty kicks in this playoff series

BankyGee:
Sharp! I go observe am

BankyGee:
Maka go check 3–0 correct score for Sporty

Investment mood kicking in 😂

Emmy450:
you guys shouting 3-0 up and down sounds funny to me, is it that you don't know the magnitude of the game or what??

This game is likely a 1:0 or 2:1 in favour of Nigeria..
the game would be too dicey for a 3:0 score line ..
All in all I wish us the very best.

Meliforme:
If we are using 4-4-2, Ademola Lookman should pair Victor Osimhen. This is the best combo from my perspective and understanding of the players in camp. Another good combination is Alex lwobi and Victor Osimhen.

Alhassan Yusuf should pair Wilfred Ndidi in the middle.

Meliforme:
if Eric Chelle intends to implement 4-4-2, Ejuke and Chukwueze should start on the left and on the right respectively
If Eric Chelle intends to implement 4-3-3, then Moses Simon and Lookman should start.

In a 4-4-2, you need wingers who can also slot in as midfielders. who: have good control of the ball, can progress the ball, can make good passes of the ball and can provide good defensive cover.
In the qualities mentioned above, Ejuke, Chukwueze and Iwobi are the top picks.

Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman are arguably our most lethal wingers, they are most lethal when played in the final phases of an attack. They do not have the level of control of the ball when compared to Ejuke, Iwobi and Chukwueze, to be fully involved in a patient build up to goal.
This is very easy to see and one of the reasons why we should not prioritise possession based football if we are to win a game.

If we are to utilise 4-3-3, Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman must start, supported by three midfielders who should be creative enough to know when to release the ball to them to finish the move or assist in finishing the move.

Truidstarr:
Sentiments aside, Okoye supposed man the post for the playoffs.
