Categories of people insulting Iwobi:


1) People who know absolutely nothing about football.


2) Bloody tribalists.


3) Those frustrated because their tickets cut.


4) Depressed cowards looking for who to cast their frustrations on. Iwobi is not responsible for electing you people's Balablu Bulaba.



5) Fools who think that he must play exactly like Okocha, because Okocha is his uncle. How many of una dey as wealthy as your uncles? How many of una dey as successful as your uncles? Be realistic and stop expecting someone else to live a life that y'all can't even dream of living.



Leave Iwobi alone. He's not the reason for your sorry lives.

Excellent analysis. Anyone criticizing Iwobi either doesn't know anything about football or is a bloody tribalist. Iwobi did very well.

Well deserved.

TheGoodJoe:

I have not changed my mind. I have stood by it for decades. Parked bus is fluke. No matter the titles won with it, it is fluke. Whether Mourinho won trophies, doe snot change that it was fluky reigns.

Okay.

emmabest2000:
Cameron snatched the cup from you in your danm Lagos in the same AFCON some years back

This team lack confidence

They did not lack confidence in the group stages.

They did not lack confidence in the quarter finals

They did not lack confidence in the Semi finals, it's now in the finals, they lost their confidence.


Please, what could be the reason for their lack of confidence?

TheGoodJoe:
Fluke is not working. Will you call the win over South Africa getting tactics right? We were totally outplayed in our last two games. That is not getting tactics right. I have said it and will say it. Negative football is just fluke. That is why Mourinho keeps falling. With time, it gets clear that it is stale.

I have never been a fan of Mourinho, but that man has won a lot of trophies with his "negative tactics." That he's having a tough time now, doesn't mean you should downplay his efforts.


I have been a Barca fan all my life, and possession football is my forte, but calling Peseiro's tactics a fluke is like putting a dent on the efforts of those players, who worked so hard to get to the final.


Some countries played good football and got eliminated. Will you call them flukes too? The South Africa that outplayed us, where are they today?

kennysville:
Yeah but he chose the wrong time to employ it. This is the finals. Are we saying our boys didn't play in front of the same crowd earlier in the tournament

Why change something that works? Try to see it from his angle.

Concerning the crowd, my brother, that first match was different from this one. Did you hear that crowd tonight?

Did you see what the Ghanaian crowd did to us in Ghana? Did you see what the Algerian crowd did to us in that friendly? People underestimate the power of an extremely loud crowd; the motivation it gives.

TheGoodJoe:
To some people it is going far. To me it is just fluke.

I never said Peseiro should change his tactics. I said the team is not growing in play. He can't even build a midfield.

Well, that "fluke" got us to our first final since 2013. I've always been an advocate for possession football, but that doesn't mean I won't say the truth when I see it.


Peseiro's tactics worked for this AFCON and I respect him for that.

TheGoodJoe:
We can attack them and play well if we want to. This is not an excuse.

An attacking mindset didn't get us this far. A defensive approach did. Why would Peseiro change his tactics all of a sudden? Why change something that got you to a final?

Goke7:
we didn't play well, no be fans

We used the same tactics that got us to the final. The only major difference was starting Chukwueze over Moses. The boys tried abeg.

Nigerians don't understand how hard it is to play in a final against the host team with over 50,000 fans against you. I don't even think the Nigerian fans are up to 5,000.


The boys have tried abeg.

membranus:
Thanks Bro. We won CIV once in this tournament, and this is final, they have their national pride to defend at their home. So if they beat us, it is fair, and they actually deserve it.

Donmobi:
Not quite the attitude we want.

Positivity over Negativity

Oh, so now, Iheanacho and Moffi are important.

Abeg, win or lose, I'm happy with this team. They've done beyond the expectations of most Nigerians.

forgiveness:
He is not doing much. Did you see how players passed him? Did you see how he is ball watching?

We're playing with just two midfielders in that central area, so it's expected for our midfield to be overcrowded, besides we're playing with a creative midfielder who's being tasked to play as a deep lying central midfielder. That's just like expecting Mesut Ozil to play as a CM and also expecting him to mark like Gattuso. It's not gonna work.


Iwobi has been removed, so you people can now rest

Goke7:
Has he played well?

Who has played well so far apart from Ekong who scored the goal?

As usual, Iwobi will always be the scapegoat for Nigerians.

MT:
Moffi is on the pitch for crying out loud!!

It's like you don't know Nigerians. Peseiro has to protect his job. Benching Osimhen will put his job in jeopardy.

deyplay:
but Osimhen dey fight wrestling for front

Na so him dey play him own ball.

deyplay:
Coach should remove Osimhen. Chuwkueze, Iwobi in second match. . Osimhen na to just fall all the time.

He won't remove Osimhen. Nigerians will ask for his head, if he does so.

deyplay:
ahead of Oshimen self. A defender o!

I know. That's crazy

Ekoooooooooooooooong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Player of the tournament. No one comes close.

I remember saying earlier that the referee is likely to be against us and also that the Ivorians will do all they can to aggravate our players in order to get them red carded. Our players need to be careful.

The Ivorians will make a lot of mistakes today, but they'll also try to make our players commit unnecessary fouls and get red carded.


Let's not forget that this is Africa, and we're playing against the hosts, so it's safe to assume that tonight's officials will be against us, especially V.A.R.


We'll have a lot of chances when we counter attack. If we score those chances, we're definitely winning tonight.

Goke7:
you hear them abi, what else do you expect? na beef na the guy in the middle though I was surprised cos he's never been a naija fan. The other ones their beef against us no be today.

Funny enough, that guy in the middle initially picked Cote D'Voire in a previous show, and he was honest that it was because he wanted some sort of revenge. I was surprised to see him change his mind.

Either way, they'll watch us lift that trophy today.

MT:
Osimhen is not a profilic goalscorer as far as AFCON is concerned.

He was the most wasteful out of all the players.

Lookman or Moffi is our best best for tomorrow, when we are looking for goals.

Yea, I know he hasn't been prolific so far, and that's why I directed my comment to him, but I do have a feeling that he MAY get a goal or two tomorrow.
