Samueltemi337:
But the coach shouldn't have removed Kanu


I was thinking he was even going to substitute onumonu

He has preference for the U.S based players.

daveP:
Goal. Thank you Kanu!!!

It was an own goal.

The Moroccan player is crying.

klexycole:
They are now trying to exploit Plumptre's wing.

Ajibade with a nice cross in, Kanu with a weak header.

Kanu should have headed the ball towards Onumonu.

JohnBullMySon:
This is absolutely untrue bruh. The very players that chase down through passes are the same players that excellently latch on to long balls. Take for example Harry kane. Mbappe, Ronaldo, Osimhen, Vinicius etc.

As for Onomonu, she won all her properly delivered long balls. However, she did little with it because she was isolated upfront due to the way we played especially in the first half, and was marked down by Estelle and the left back.

Controlling long balls is more difficult than controlling through passes..

Defenders can easily head out long balls while through passes must be intercepted , chased down or cleared by the keeper.

emanobis:
Becoz Lagos was the closest point of international movement for goods.
If Lagos seaport was to be situated at any other Lagos, Lagos will die a natural death.
Besides, if Lagos was that important, why didn't Lagos indigenes play into this same opportunity

There's a port called "Port Harcourt".
There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port..

The SW has only 2 ports which are both in Lagos..

While Eastern Nigeria has 3 ports.. 2 in Port Harcourt and 1 in Calabar.

Port Harcourt and Calabar is closer to the SE than Lagos..

They moved to Lagos to enter the SW market not because of the port in Lagos.

JohnBullMySon:
Through passes not long balls?

Is there a player on this earth good with through passes and poor with long balls at the same time?

long balls bounces and may not bounce in favor of the striker and may be time for the defenders to recover..

Through passes are on the ground and easier to control, Chidinma Okeke gave Oshoala nice through passes in the last world cup which she scored..

Onomonu got a through pass against Botswana and finished it excellently..e.t.c..

isan:
It was the coach tactics to by pass mildfield and use long ball he was banking on oshoala pace upfront stop blaming ohale


I wonder if you guys start watching football in 2022

tactics that wasn't working... so if the tactic had worked that means that's what SF would have continued playing..

the good thing about it is that she clears the ball but most times the opponents get the ball back...

Oshoala thrives on through passes not long balls... infact most of the SF forward players thrive on through passes, so the midfield has to work on short passes and through passes..

Deltamani:
Maybe we all have been watching a different Osinachi Ohale…

her match against S.A was bad.. her defending is good..

Deltamani:
Nawa ooooo

This comment is just an excellent Bullshit…

The major reason we lost to South Africa was Randy Waldrum poor Selection which was is major problem coming into the tournament… He’s currently getting things right gradually with his Selections…

So you think is easy with the Caliber of Players we have ahbi??

I can also tell you if not for Oshoala injury Okobi would still be coming from the Bench and Ajibade Would have been playing Midfield..
if Esther Okoronkwo and Desire Oparanozie was in the team with that lose to SA he would still have got some tough decisions to make…


Give the Superfalcons the Credit they deserve… Thank You!

this is not only about giving the Falcons the credit they deserve...

Oshoala , Desire Oparanozie and Esther Okoronkwo should seat on the bench when they are fit, Infact Oparanozie days in the SF are done...

the SF first team should be the ones currently playing in this AFCON... replacements should be gotten for Chikwelu, Ebi, Ohale and anyone over 30 years old..

I won't fully judge Oshoala until I watch playing in a Super Falcons that doesn't have Chikwelu in midfield and Ohale in defense... because Ohale was just kicking long balls to Oshoala and abandoned the midfield and Chikwelu couldn't control the midfield..

Does Sq:uadH:elp accept names that have sold previously on their platform

Danielnino00:
What an entertaining game... Cameroon played their best football of the tournament in this game,and we rose to the occasion..Kudos to them...


Against Morocco, the only thing that will work against us is the fact that Morocco will have the home advantage...Their fans will try to intimidate our players verbally and with the laser thing... Other than that, Morocco are no match for us...no matter how well coached they are....

Stop or reduce the boasting to 0.01%..

The way onome ebi was causing the Cameroonian players to fall in the box if we were playing Morocco that would have a penalty and sending off or yellow card for onome ebi..

When SF played France at the last world cup they got penalty..

If the referee gives Morocco at least 2 penalties then it will be difficult for the SF to win especially if the SF don't score.

ceejayMAX:
Toni and Nicole Payne's parents

Are the Payne sisters wearing contact lenses

Two parents wearing glasses means all their children will wear glasses at a point in their lives and will be geeks..

In this case sports geeks..

mostob:
Okobi was not that impressive in the first half and Ajibade is our last resort as far as AM is concerned. That was why I made that suggestion.

You're using style to change mouth

It was not a suggestion... You wanted her to be playing midfield ..

TheSuperNerd:
Perspectives. But point remains she is a brilliant player.

My point is that the Super Falcons players hold on to the ball and try to dribble but end up losing possession instead of just passing the ball and keeping it simply.

TheSuperNerd:
Highly cerebral. Can use both feet. Intelligent in transition. Ashley is a babe of substance and she has done well so far at this tournament in only 2 games.

Her only bleep was vs Noxolo Cesane.

That wasn't a bleep. That was the intelligence of the South African player.

The S.A player made a quick turn and pass the ball quickly.

That goal was due to quick passing of S.A. and not holding on to ball for long and the failure of the Nigerian midfielders to track back and help the defenders.

lovewins:
If you will counter at least quote everything I said.

This is where I talked about them getting fouls, getting cards and playing defensively

It doesn't change the fact that you said SF will beat Cameroon easily..

Where's mostob that wants Ajibade to play midfield and not LW or RW.


Onumonu should be taking the corner kicks and maybe free kicks that was a good cross..

lovewins:
Just like I predicted, the Cameroonians put up a good fight defensively and of course had a lot of fouls and 2 yellow cards already.

To be fair, the Cameroonians have been disciplined tactically. It's obvious their strategy is to overload the middle and counter whenever they have the chance and they've done the perfectly. The negative effect of that is we won't be able to freely move the ball through the middle hence we'll get little opportunities close to the arch.

We played better though and I expect we improve on this in the second half. Okobi hasn't impressed me really. Her set pieces have been poor and she looses possession in the middle, then holds on to the ball too long. I'll like to see Kanu come in for Ordega and Okobi replaced then Ucheibe move forward to connect with the attack.

stop lying

this is what you predicted below.

lovewins:
I am unperturbed about today's game. We'll beat Cameroon easily and I'm not even worried. As long as Randy starts the right people, we'll won't struggle.

Cameroon is a highly ranked team and will not be beaten easily...

You can be confident, but don't ever be over-confident to the point that your over-confidence leads to boasting and talking down on opponents or people..

Hopefully, the S.F don't have your mentality and mindset.

Danielnino00:
Ajibade has been productive in midfield as much as on RW... She is versatile... Haaland and Salah aren't versatile.. Salah is one legged, Haaland has never played as a winger before..U should have used Mane as an example..
Ajibade isn't Salah or Halaand who are limited to one position..She's versatile..

Mind you, Cameroon have fast players too and they are physical..

No player is versatile.

Players have their trained positions and other positions they may have a good/bad game in some matches.

A GK cannot play as a Striker even if he scores goals.

The problem is you want to move a player from where she got 3 assists and a goal to where she has no assists and no goals.

In summary you're a Cameroonian..

Danielnino00:
But against Botswana,she was ineffective...

Ajibade has proven that she can function in midfield as much as on the flanks.... Consistency is the main thing...

You don't remove a player from their productive position.

How many times do you see Mo Salah playing LW or Haaland playing as a Winger.

Botswana have fast players, any player will struggle against fast defenders whose midfielders also cover for them.

Why was Mo Salah ineffective against Real Madrid

mostob:
Ajibade got 3 assists from RW through Cutbacks and Crosses. When you have such player on one wing, the other winger must be someone with good positioning and a good goalscorer. Playing Ordega on the other wing will isolate Ify in the box because Ordega is also similar to Ajibade. Setting up a team is not just about names..it is about how the skillsets of each player complement one another.
I just want the win.. anybody that starts is okay for me

That's the point.

Ordega is to the LW what Ajibade is to the RW.

So we need a Finisher in the center.

Kanu can start but she must also be substituted before the 60th minute for Onumonu.

Because Cameroon will Target and injure the forwards and the referee will play dumb..

mostob:
If Ajibade will be starting on the right wing, then Kanu should start. Ajibade is more of a creative forward so we need a goalscorer at he other side rather than a pure winger. The 4th goal against Burundi is an example of what I'm saying.

Ordega starts as LW while Onumonu starts as ST. Kanu on the bench.

Kanu should enter before the 60th minute for Onumonu.

Kanu missed clear chances against Burundi and Cameroon should not injure her the way South Africa injured Oshoala they can injure Onumonu

Danielnino00:
Option 2 makes more sense... Since both Alozie and Payne can function better as full backs... Ajibade drops to the midfield with Ayinde and Uchiebe... Problem is who partners Onumonu up front? I'd go with Kanu cus of her pace and trickery, but I don't think she and Onumonu know how to play together..They didn't gel well in the game against Burundi..But they really compliment each other IMO....
Ordega can come in the second half...

If you watched the match against Burundi you'll never ever say Ajibade should be moved to midfield..

Ajibade is very productive on the RW.

Can someone please share tips on how much to get brandable names approved on squadhelp . Been posting for 4 months with no single approval. Thank you

if you're interested in brandable domains read beckplanet brandable tutorial on the "What To Do To Make Money Online?" thread on page 659 his name is the first on that page.

then start writing down your own list of first words and second words in domain names... for example, face:book//king has "face" as its first word then "book" as its second word..

create a notepad file ( or jotter e.t.c ) for your list of first words and create another file for your list of second words..

daveP:
Make Oparanozie come back abeg. That energy and quick decision she brings is lacking in attack. I see tame shots and it irks me. Saw that France Women Euros match? My my!!

I pray for synergy sha. And maybe a better coach. Cos Waldrum no be am. Omagbemi no deserve that let go. I hope she too is upgrading as well. She's really dedicated.

If you watched Oparanozie at the 2019 world cup you'll never ever ask for her to be called up and the way the SF play by hitting long balls over defense then a slow striker like Oparanozie will be a minus...

After Oshoala got injured in the world cup, she couldn't carry the team... now in 2022, there's Uchenna Kanu, Onumonu, Ordega, Ajibade, Vivian Ikechukwu, Macleans, Gift Monday, Flourish Sebastian e.t.c who can all carry the team if the main striker is injured..

3 years ago, SF would have struggled to score without Oshoala..

Let's see what they play against Cameroon.

zuchyblink:
Super performance from Ajibade. Onumonu is not living up to expectations,her lack of pace is a problem. Randy should be bold enough to start Gift Monday.
The fast and talented trio of Kanu,Monday and Ajibade will be menacing for opponents. Payne sisters are proving to be a pain in the neck for the opponents.

Gift Monday holds on to the ball for too long when she learns how to not be "over-dribbling" and just play football then she can be starting..

for now it must be
Ordega as LW,
Onumonu or Kanu as ST ,
Ajibade as RW..

Pidginwhisper:
Make una help me with link. Hesgoal dey do anyhow.

Go to the Nigeria vs Burundi thread the YouTube link is on the page 6.

mostob:
She is right footed.

Deltamani:
Rasheedat Ajibade is Right footed oooo

Are you serious

In the 2019 world cup she gave Oparanozie a good pass from the left wing that Oparanozie missed.

She's trying with her crosses against Burundi right now.

lovewins:
Just confirmed on Google. Chikwelu isn't starting. She's a sub though.

Just like I rightly predicted.

Good lineup in my opinion. Would have loved to see Ayinde though.

Keeping Alozie off is smart too.

Ajibade is an LW not RW and she's left footed so if she wants to cross from the RW she has to use her left foot... her right foot crosses were terrible and she has to prove me wrong..

JohnBullMySon:
You don't get the point. First lemme just say I don't like people who react too quickly, are impatient or I feel are too sentimental. Secondly I'm generally not quick to blame coaches no matter who it is because the job itself is dicey and you can make wrong decisions not because you're poor. That's just the volatile nature of football. You can choose to field a player who has performed well in training only to be disappointed on the pitch. You cant control the actions of players -directly- and you can't judge a player based on a single poor game. So saying a coach makes poor selections based on one or two games is plain silly.

The most rational way to judge a coach's performance is one; how appropriate are his substitutions? Two; how tactically diverse is he? Randy's substitutions were on point yesterday. He isn't a god to know who will perform poorly on the pitch after a good training showing.

JohnBullMySon:
The people that Randy was referring to are the group of media personalities either writing for tabloids or on Twitter. They talk too much and complain a lot. If the Coach wins, they'll say it is normal. But wait till he loses or doesn't satisfy their ego with goals, all hell will be let loose. They'll say they're criticizing. Look at what they call criticism. Emotionally laden complaints devoid of any iota of objectivity. If Eguavoen had qualified us for World Cup, they'll say its nothing much, after all, we've been at the past three editions. But he lost and they tore him to shreds.

If that's not negative energy. I wonder what is. Randy called them negative, their egos are touched.

You're the one that doesn't get the point..

the group stage is only 3 matches so if fans , media e.t.c call out the coach and his crew and players after a disgraceful display in the first match it's the right thing to do because losing the 2nd match will be disastrous and shameful going by Super Falcons standards.

Not reaching the final will be a failure...

don't promote mediocrity..
