Rather, it is only a foolish coach that will start all of Dennis, Lookman, Onyeka and Bonke

Icon4s, mostob and the people that liked this comment should come defend this comment.

Pgltm:
This team badly needs a creative midfielder, that can hold the ball, dazzle and make passes

S.E main problem is players trying to dazzle instead of playing simple football.. S.E needs players who don't hold onto the ball for long.

Shukusheka:
Set piece from both teams have been terrible. Africans generally are just terribly inept at playing dead balls.

Nwakwali is good at corners and crossing freekicks into the box.. okocha was very good at dead balls.

Omanambala:
Lol...those are your regulars naa

They are Eguavoen regulars not mine...

They will never start or even get call up letter if I was the coach.

forgiveness:
Iheancho should be removed first.

Ihenacho and Chukwueze are letting Aina do all the work on that wing..

Danielnino00:
Iheanacho should be yanked off at half time please... He has had absolutely no impact on the game.. He's made the midfield lean...

Aribo , Ihenacho , Chuks and Simon must be removed and must not start the 2nd leg..

Mostob and icon4s come and see the nonsense your Simon and chukwueze are playing...

Oasis001:
We need Etebo for Iheanacho in the 2nd half. Baba don over ghost this Half.

Onyeka for Ihenacho.
Dennis for Simon.

Simon and chukwueze are making are wing weak that's one of the reasons I wanted Dennis and lookman to start but people on NL were saying rubbish..

Sanusi is doing Simon's work ..
Aina is doing chukwueze's work.
Which is leaving space in midfield and defense.

Simon should be removed at HT.. he is losing the ball too much.

He had a chance to run and cross but he waited for the defender to come back and when Simon tried to dribble he ended up dribbling himself and forgetting the ball then the defender easily recovered the ball.

Only a person that's very ignorant of football will make such a comment.

mostob:
So because Klopp threw in Jota and Diaz, we should throw in Lookman and Dennis too?
Diaz and Jota were threw in immediately because the team structure of the Liverpool team was in place.
Could the same be said of the super eagles? Ndidi is missing, we don't even know our starting CBs and we're still testing formations.
And na people like you will berate them if they didn't meet your expectations...you will even go as far as going against their future invitation.
The bolded ws not necessary but I really hope you're OK

In football the formation is the structure, Dennis and lookman are wingers and can play those wings as effective as Simon and chukwueze.

Ndidi has been replaced by other effective DMs like Bonke and Onyeka.

They already meet my expectations unless they play extremely bad.

The bolded was necessary because Eguavoen doesn't seem to know the forwards that make his formation click and the players who make his team look lackluster. That's why Onazi was on standby and not tijani or Onyedika.

andrewbaba44:
Calm down about yira sor ,he is new in the game okay ,he started impressing recently and there are even better players in his Position

The newer the better not when he becomes complacent and has lost hunger for the game.

mostob:
Dennis and Lookman can not start....you don't just throw in players like that...
And Chuks will always start...

Klopp threw in Jota and Diaz like that... Dennis , Lookman and Onyeka must start...

S.E has to start pressuring and pressing Ghana's defense from the start of the 1st half. I don't want to see a "low block" or defensive game from the S.E and I don't want to see the 1st half performance they played against Tunisia ever again..


It's because of people with your type of mentality players like Dessers, Yira sor, tijani, Nwakwame, Akpoguma e.t.c are been called up..

Icon4s:
Starting Innocent Bonke and Frank Onyeka as DM and CM in such a crucial away game is too risky. I don't think they have ever played together in any competitive game.
Emmanuel Dennis and Ademola Lookman will likely start from the bench.
Simon and Chukwueze are likely to be the starting wingers.

It will be very foolish of the coaches to bench Dennis , lookman, Bonke and onyeka.. they must all start.

Chukwueze must be benched.. Simon/Dennis/Amoo/Ejuke can play chukwueze's wing.. while lookman/dennis/aribo starts in Simon's wing.

Then ihenacho/Awoniyi/Sadiq as AM.. Aribo as AM hasn't been very effective while in Rangers I see him playing as a winger and he plays well in LW..

Bonke and Onyeka or at worse because I know Eguavoen likes a thin midfield then just Onyeka as DM, it's should be an abomination to bench an EPL regular like Onyeka.

4-2-3-1 is good for the type of players S.E has.

3-6-1 disguised as 5-4-1 is also good for the S.E..

safarigirl:
I do not entertain people who are quick to throw in "You're a woman" when they want to address something

It shows a gross lack of logical reasoning or any form of intelligent reasoning at all.

The fact that I did not even mention anything about who scored first or last, but only mentioned conceding, yet, you came with this jargons, is telling of how much you lack in reasoning capabilities.

The women in your life should teach you more on how to not begin a sentence by discrediting people on the altar of gender. It does not make you sound intelligent at all

A woman like Lianne Sande:rson and 99% of women footballers and retired women footballers will never ever say they expect S.E to concede in both legs because they set high standards, your standards are too low for a team like the S.E..

Unless you work for NFF and you're trying to lower expectations and standards that Nigerians expect from the S.E..


Nigeria is an African football powerhouse and is presently stronger than Ghana so based on their current strengths Ghana scoring in both legs means S.E has serious coaching defiencies..

Elock1:
Thank you very much... Uzoho might not be an Enyeama but he is very decent and has played in the big stage (world cup) as well

Naija just Bleep up when dem replace uzoho with okoye as first choice (just like that)

That Uzoho guy hasnt made any goal keeper error that I know of for the super eagles and he exudes confidence but Nigeria in their infinite wisdom decided to bench him 4 an inexperienced, untested and young Okoye

Who does that?

Sportilitica:
I hope we do not bash Uzoho if he makes his own mistakes. We jump ship too easily in my opinion. I believe both keepers are at the same level honestly. Nothing special about them.(okoye, Uzoho). A look at the teams that made it to the last 4 of the Afcon would reveal how good the keepers of at least 3 teams were. A strong team is built around a solid keeper. We should be searching for more keepers not trying to make excuses for each of them. We shall prevail

Uzoho is not match fit.. so he might be rusty..

safarigirl:
Anyway, I expect Ghana to score at least two goals against us in both legs

But unlike some people here, I always expect our goalkeepers to concede, my confidence is in our forwards to score more than we concede.

That is how we win matches.

From this comment you're a woman who is not into football but you just come here to while away time..
so you don't understand that conceding a goal is a morale destroyer especially if you concede first and conceding 2 goals first is a moral fatality ..

This is why I said you should learn to be specific when you talk unless you're below 17 years old.. if S.E is leading 3 - 0 and Ghana scores it won't have any major effect on their moral.

If Ghana scores first then all they have to do is park the boss for the remainder of the 2 legs.

semid4lyfe:
That was Aus:tin Eji:de a

I have corrected myself.. now unquote me or put hyphen on Akp:eyi's name.. and same goes for safarigirl..

safarigirl:
Intentionally throw the ball ke?

Akpeyi's crime is corner taken quickly. That is his main crime. This your own, I no know where e from come. Una dey really hold things over people's heads.


And I will compare whoever I want to compare with whoever, no be you go dictate who I go use as comparison.

You lot need to give it a rest. Person no dey una still dey insult am.

Very disturbing behaviour

It was Austin E:jide not Akp:eyi..

safarigirl:
Saka, Rashford and Sancho lost penalties to deny England their first Euros in decades

Today, how many English fans still wave that loss over their heads? How many of them said Southgate should not call up Saka, or should not start him because of that loss?

Na so normal people dey criticise players. Insult them those first few days, and start on a fresh slate.

But Nigerians? Free kick wey Akpeyi no catch since 2019, dem no gree release the guy blokos.

Una dey see say una no dey alright for this country?

Saka was one of their best players in the Euros and contributed a lot to them been in the final..

don't compare Maduka to Saka ever again especially a GK and a Winger..

Zouma still gets booed just because he spanked a Cat.. they haven't created a fresh slate for Zouma.. so stop deceiving yourself..


Europ:ean fans are worse than Africans

Formation:

Defensively- 5-1-3-1 Offensively- 3-3-3-1

Okoye
Defenders: Aina, Omeruo, Ekong, Balogun, Zaidu

DM: Bonke

Creative players; Chuz, Aribo, and Simon

Striker: Oshimen

OR

4-2-3-1

Okoye

Aina, Balogun, Ekong, Zaidu

Bonke and Onyeka/Aribo

Chuz, Aribo/Iheanacho, and Simon

Oshimen

OR

S.E needs at least 3 midfielders on the pitch. Bonke as DM, onyeka to play as CM and Aribo/Awoniyi/Sadiq/Ihenacho to play as AM.

Dennis starts ahead of chukwueze or Dennis starts ahead of Simon then move Simon to Chukwueze's wing and let Simon start ahead of chukwueze.

Chukwueze wing was quiet in the AFCON, he and Ihenacho didn't track back to help the midfield and defense during AFCON and against Juventus. Chukwueze can come on in 2nd half..

Aina should release the ball early and reduce his overlapping especially if Chukwueze starts.

daveP:
Imagining Aribo with a masterclass at Kumasi.

I hope we aren't going there to sit back and wait for counter Sha. This is the worst Ghana team in a decade or two. I expect some individual brilliance from Partey tho. But their Keeper will definitely not be ready for Osimhen.

What if Osimhen gets injured either before the game or during the game.

What if Osimhen gets a red card.

What if any S.E player gets a red card then what will Eguavoen do

S.E and Eguavoen has to prepare and calm the players down because Ghana is going to try to get at least one of our players sent off..

forgiveness:
Why do you think the bolded deserves to be getting call up?

You even mentioned Yira Sor but Ignored Peter Olayinka who is doing well in Czech league and has been consistent for the last 5 seasons if not more. He is even their captain in some games recently.

What has Onyekuru done this season that he deserves to be getting a call up ahead of Iwobi?

There’s no Awoniyi on your list despite scoring more goals in all competitions than all our strikers in top 5 leagues in Europe but Terrem Moffi with just 4 goals is on the list.

Can you please explain?

What makes you think you are different from Eguavoen?

It's a general list that should be broken down to 23 players or the amount of players the tournament permits.

I will include Awoniyi and Olayinka. I forgot about them. The list was beginning to have too many forwards so I just decided to stop adding players..

As for Awoniyi, olayinka, Sadiq, onyekuru, Ihenacho, Nwakwame , onuachu will never make my team.

I believe in 2022 forwards are at least supposed to have speed.

My likely list below:

Forwards
Osimhen
Yira sor
Dennis
Dessers
Lookman
Amoo
Ejuke
Simon
Chukwueze. ( On standby and I didn't like his AFCON performance )
Terrem moffi. ( On stand by )
Olayinka ( on standby and I liked the through pass he gave Sadiq against Tunisia S.E needs wingers that can pass like that and he doesn't try to dribble or hold the ball for long ).
Sadiq ( on Standby because his quite fast and can press)

Midfielders
Iwobi
Aribo
Ndidi
Onyeka
Bonke
Nwakwali ( on standby and I liked his through balls and corner kicks during the AFCON )

Defenders
Semi ajayi
Omeruo
Ola Aina
Bassey
Akpoguma
Ebuehi
Sanusi

Keepers
Uzoho
Okoye
Any good keeper they can find.

jasena:
Your list is superior to eguavon's list, though I wonder where nwakueme's name is absent

I forgot about Nwakwame but he is 32. S.E has younger wingers..
I will include his name...

The problem is reducing the list to 23 players.

safarigirl:
Where Iwobi dey?

I dey see some funny names, but no Iwobi.

I completely forgot about iwobi.. I will include his name ..

TheGoodJoe:

We Africans are behind tactically and we need to do more in tactical education.

I once read in Spain, before a player moves from most academies to senior football, they have over 700 games, tactically analysed under their belt.

In academies in Spain, UEFA pro licensed coaches coach them.
.

How many games did gavi play before making Spain's national team

Europeans are very tribal. So it may be about supporting Span:ish and Cata:lan players .

Koeman brought numerous to Barca.
Wolves former coach brought many Portuguese players to wolves.
Wenger brought many French players to arsenal.
Conte brings Italian players to his teams.

safarigirl:
BTW, if Eguaveon listened more to the populace, Dennis, Shehu, Okoye, Ighalo and even our dear Osimhen for no make list

Onazi is on the stand by list, I am sure nobody in the country envisioned his appearance

It is insulting to even suggest that the coach will listen to armchair analysts when making decisions that could make or mar his team. How many people he wan listen to? You want his brain to burst?

List of Nigeria's striker must include Osimhen. Players like Ighalo, Musa ,onazi and Shehu should not be anywhere near the S.E.

Nigeria currently has a golden generation and Eguavoen is messing it up by trying to "make everyone happy".

Depending on The amount of players that the tournament allows.. this are the S.E players that should be getting a call up.

Forwards
Osimhen
Yira sor
Dennis
Dessers
Lookman
Terrem moffi
Amoo
Ejuke
Simon
Chukwueze
Sadiq
Ihenacho
Onuachu
Nwakwame
Onyekuru
Olayinka
Awoniyi
Samuel Adegbenro

Midfield
Iwobi
Ndidi
Onyeka
Bonke
Aribo
Yusuf
Tijani
Onyedika
Etebo

Defenders
Semi ajayi
Ola Aina
Bassey
Akpoguma
Ebuehi
Sanusi
Omeruo
Balogun
Ekong

Keepers
Uzoho
Okoye
Any good keeper they can find.

.

Liverpool were quite poor with the few chances we got and Mendy had a solid defense in front of him

Take this from a Liverpool supporter

You can't give credit where credit is due and you can't acknowledge where acknowledgement is due... That means you suffer from inferiority complex disguised as superiority complex..

I'm getting komekn vibes from you so you might be his alternate moniker...

Responding to your comments will be like responding to komekn.. so that's it.

Blueelf:
I agree with you on this

A major contributor to Mendy's form is Chelsea's impressive defence

Chelsea's defense gets beaten and Mendy saves shots to protect Chelsea's lead.

De gea makes multiple saves but if your defense keeps getting beaten the way Man U defense is constantly beaten then your opponents will score at least 1.

If you watched the Carabao League cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool then you'll know how good Mendy is..
