Papi85:
is he one of the best midfielders in the portuguese top flight?

What has he done this season to merit a call up to the national team?

If he is good as you hv been brainwashed to believe ( cus I knw the last time u saw him play was at the last afcon 🤣) what is he still doing in the worst team in the league

Ogbeni be your own man instead of being an “oh yes” member

Pls how many passes did those semi pro from malabo make in our half before they scored?? And who held the team together today? The rejected stone from Antwerp it was. Our top 5 league members couldn't clear a simple ball, rather gifted it back to the opponent. And for your info, Nwakali makes team of the week. And he is up there among the MF in Liga Portugal. I guess Ndidis injury has made everyone to see how good Yusuf is. Dem he should be in the top 5 league if he was that good don hide.

One accurate long ball from Ekong was the goal. Many times I have seen players open and the long pass will be wayward. We have Yusuf to thank for keeping the balance in the MF. And for them he is not playing in top 5 league gang, can they STFU. They should count the no of passes these semi pro from malabo made before scoring us. And help me greet the EPL dude for dashing them the ball in a red zone.
For those Nwakali shouldn't come near SE gang. Maybe at the end, we may see the need to get someone that can spread the ball to make the field wider for the opponent.
We move to next game. But did we win the MF battle? I don't think so.

Village people don catch osimhen

What u get when the MF is thin. Going forward it's makeshift MF

Hmmm. Alhaasan. Na me go slap Peseiro first.

Odunayaw:
Somebody ought to hold Iwobi and shake him awake! Put body for this match bro

Steam don finish.

COOL10:
Eq Guinea have scored.

Who gave that ball away?

Onyeka

Corner kick delivery is our problem.

2 chances missed already.

Empty stadium. Tueh for ivory coast. This is not good.

yemyke001:
The sun/heat though

It's 32 deg blazing heat. 60% humidity. It no go Izzy for our boys oh.

ChrisKels:
What time is the match?

3pm. Match starts in 12mins

MetalJigsaw:
442??!

Abeg those personnel cannot execute 442 perfectly. What am seeing is 4-2-3-1 @ most 433

Icon79:
I think you got a point there, yemyke. But I am very concerned about Ajayi’s poor ball control and Ekong’s poor & inaccurate passing. And neither one of them has pace either. May God help us at Center Back today!


O pari

Ekong & Ajayi!!! Let's pray the DM does their job well. Both will be fine. It's swim or sink for them. Play well, u stay with the team. Bleep up you will be send on exile forever.

Danielnino00:
The lineup is okay enough..

But this Peseiro is a funny man sha.. he is literally doing what we have been clamouring for him to do ages ago.. trying another goalkeeper aside Uzoho... Inviting Alhassan and using a 3 man midfield more..

Like he has a choice. There is no other striker to meet up his 442. He was just constrained to the formation.
Our opponents will play a low block so he needs a Gk with good footwork. That ruled out Uzoho. Circumstances made the crayfish bend.

Samueltemi337:
That's why Yusuf is there to cover for him

Yes I pray onyeka comes to the party. If we must pass from the back, then he has a lot of work to do today. Let him just keep it simple. His primary duty is just to screen the defence. Provide passing channels to other MF's and to beat the opponents press. He should stick to it. Abeg

quickberry:
Starting 11

Yes 4-2-3-1. But I am not sold out on the positional awareness of Onyeka. He always have the propensity of leaving his primary duty post. Onyedika for me would have been ideal. Ekong should keep his eyes on him. Nig vs Ghana in my mind.

kendrick9:
That midfield is terrible

So u see am. I'd better be cautious with Onyedika-Alhassan-Iwobi. In a 4-2-3-1. Alhassan has the lungs unlike Aribo. E-Guinea will want to run us street with counters. We need to shield our defence, break their passes and pray iwobi- Simon- Lookman comes to d party.

ThunderFireAgba:
Nigeria is winning this game by 2, 3-4 goals. If Equatorial Guinea play ball, that's to say if dem play ball well, dem fit manage to score 1.
Just imagine; how can you surpass a defensive block of 4 staunch highly built tall players in the name of Bassey, Ajayi, Ekong or Osayi?
Couple with the pressures from fast attackers like Lookman, Eagle eye Iwobi or the Almighty himself?
With wetin dey ground and all the preparation for these guys, believe me dem no fit fall hand.
We should be worried what comes after the quarter-finals.

This will be answered after 90mins. Let's win the MF battle

Mubiola360:
The only way to curb corruption and reduce all this nonsense going on around the world to zero is to practice Sharia .
We all complain of high interest rate
Adultery and fornication
Homosextual
Kidnapping
Stealing (private and government fund)
Cheating in business, relationship, academics
Bandits
Lack of love for one another
Wasteful spending
Uneven circulation of wealth
Drug ,Alcohol and other intoxicated substances
Rape
Indecency in dressing
All other social vices that wouldn't make us move forward as people and Nation, belive me, there is solution
to all these if we can honestly practice sharia .
Instead of jungle justice, the government will eliminate the person in the public place that
anyone e trying to commit such crime will fear for his or her life.

The North wey dey practice am, how far for them.

They are yet to know his identity. I guess he is not from E

Curtisaxel10:
Osimhen in particular needs to be cautioned to conserve his energy.

I wish I have someone who can talk to him. I am most worried about him in particular. The conditions is something else. I'm just worried.

Samueltemi337:
Na hat-trick I dey see for Osimhen o

Pls let's not keep our hopes too high. The temperature and humidity is quite worrisome. Even the playing surface was too dry yesterday. I just pray that SE kills off the game in 45mins. That way key players can be subbed out before fatigue starts setting in. From what I observed yesterday, SE must manage their stamina, just knock the ball around for a while let d opponent do the chasing.

Odunayaw:
This commentator mentioning GNB beat us every other minute don tire me

Daniel Amokachi.

quickberry:
This is funny

Village people concluded his meeting yesterday night.

From the stable of IPOB headquarters. Shettimma is in charge of security. Abuja and environs are safe. This news is from detractors and children of hate.

ChrisKels:
On paper, this line up should be bringing down any team.

Aurier is d weak link. I expect Simon to have joy against him.

Kog45:
Mutiu Adepoju the headmaster is not tall but deadly when it comes to corner kick but we have another good header in Semi Ajayi.

Delivery is the problem. 40% of the time our corners don't even get past the 1st defender. Other times it will even be over hit.

quickberry:
According to owngoal, Bassey has been moved to left back, Semi to partner Ekong. We will play 443(formation).

442 u mean??. If this man was not sure of his CB pairings, why wasnt Igho Ogbu called up Or he wants to tell us that making Europa team is a walk in the park??

Wake me up when they give Dangote repayment plan. If not, can we stop these distractions.

DaddyJapan:
You do realise that Rwanda has endured a pogrom (1960s) and as well a genocide (1994) right?
I am afraid matters are no where near as simple as you present here.

By the way, Somalia used to be regarded as a monolithic nation of related clans (much to the chagrin of its Bantu population which continues to suffer from cultural discrimination). Yet you have to ask yourself; when last did that nation experience peace?

Somalia case na terrorism from one religion.

From all indications. Considering the injuries to the team & the ball watching nature of our CB's coupled with the confidence issues of the GK. I'll go with 4-2-3-1. Double pivot of Onyeka & Onyedika. That way ill be sure that I have bodies at the back & MF. My opinion tho.
