Nigeria 4:0 Angola.

If Osimhen learns to convert his chances today.

Amedino99:
it would have been better if they invited the afcon champions but I understand Sha. It's all about politics and positioning of morroco.

No. The world is yet to get over Morocco's stunning performance at the last WC so I guess the Americans are banking on taking advantage of their marketability to lure sponsors.

But I would have advised them to wait for the AFCON to end and then invite the reigning champions of Africa.

I guess they rate the WC semifinals higher than the AFCON trophy.

Mujtahida:
Who else usually finds it difficult to do anything wheen Nigeria has a match and when we win, you marinate in the feeling for days?

Those of us wey no get club, na SE be our club oo

Broooo. I think say na only me o!

I normally postpone any job I have on any day we have a game because I will not be able to fully concentrate on anything else🙂.

Still available.

Mujtahida:

We no even know wetin coach dey tell the players, we just have our preconceptions about what we want them to play. Make Iwobi carry ball begin dribble like Maradona. Ehen naija go say yes.

Lol. Nigerians love showmanship die. Iwobi understood this in his early days in the SE.

I remember one match against Algeria in Uyo. Iwobi did an Okocha-style rainbow flick over an Algerian player and the crowd went absolutely wild!.

I'm sure that flick probably got discussed more than the goals that were scored that day in the days that followed.

The Iwobi of nowadays has grown more mature though. All passes, no more flicks.

But I wonder why Peseiro couldn't get us an extra creative midfielder. There is no way you will scout the entire NPFL and won't find a decent CM/AM who can at least do the basics. Just someone who can beat the press, make decently accurate passes and one in a while take a crack at goal.

It's not like the other African teams are fielding world-class midfielders anyway.

If Iwobi mistakenly get injury eh, na then wey all of una go respect am. Iwobi is the most important player in that team as far as I'm concerned. The only irreplaceable player.

If Osimhen gets injured, Moffi and Iheanacho dey. If Iwobi gets injured, we better just pack our bags because he is the only creative midfielder in the entire bloody team.

bisqit:
Sunday mba is another overrated player. After his heroics in 2013, where is he today? Nowhere to be found. Even archaeologists are still looking for him

Lol. Joke aside though, it's amazing how that guy managed to have a poor career after that AFCON.

Even though he couldn't get a deal to a top team, one would expect that his talent would take him up there eventually. Surprisingly, Baba never made it past Bastia.

One explanation is that Mba almost certainly was playing on "football age" (I remember he was already balding in 2013). But even if he was in his late twenties, he should have had at least three to four years at the top.

Amedino99:
his shooting style never changes. If all the players put on a sack on their head and they shoot, you can always identify iwobi and I think it's too late for him to change.

Lol. Iwobi's shooting is really subpar and I think this is what has prevented him from staying long at the top (Arsenal).

But Iwobi is really great at taking good low one-touch shots inside the box which is difficult for goalkeepers to save. Check his goal against Zambia to take us to the 2018 WC.

But if you're expecting him to fire accurate rockets with pace and placement from outside the box, you're on a long thing. Which is why I think he is better as a CM than an AM.

bisqit:
worst part, he has no skill. Can't dribble to save his life

Iwobi can't dribble? Are you sure you know Alex Iwobi?

Reach out today.

It seems we have been sleeping on the football rivalry between the North African countries. Go to the Morocco /SA highlights video on YouTube and see Algerians celebrating like crazy. One of them said he will congratulate the Southies for 50 years nonstop😂😂😂.

If not for language barrier, footballing banter with North Africans for sweet die. Those guys are very humorous and passionate with their bantering.

Please let Peseiro change his formation. The 4-3-3 is much more balanced and productive in terms of chances created.

If he must go with three at the back, let him play 3-5-2 with Iwobi at AM and Osimhen and a strike partner in front. The 3-4-3 leaves a wide gaping hole in the center of our midfield which Guinea Bissau exploited at the beginning of the last match to dominate possession.

We cannot afford to abandon possession to a team that actually knows what to do with the ball. Ire o!

TheLoneCitizen:
Lille make offer for Chuba Akpom. - Timvan Dujin

About time. That would put him in serious contention for a backup role to Osimhen.

I hope Peseiro knows that if he benches Osimhen, nobody will die?

I mean, why keep striker who is clearly off form when you have Moffi on the bench?

Ever since Osimhen became our main striker, to score goals became a major problem for us.

In Rohr's era, with all their rubbish football, Ighalo still managed to score whenever we needed him, sometimes creating chances out of nothing sef.

Now we have an APOTY and we can't score Guinea Bissau's second team.

For the sake of God, whose idea was it to give our legendary 10 jersey to Aribo?

Reach out today.

Peseiro needs to switch to 433 for the Lord's sake. Enough of this drab nonsense. Remove Ajayi with his yellow card and play Bassey and Omeruo at CB.

Peseiro is a proper foól. Why play defensive against Guinea Bissau?

I really would have loved a repeat of the 433. We created loads of chances with that formation and would have won if not for wastefulness.

The 343 seems to give us less chances going forward.

BascoVanVeli:


So u didn't hear Daniel Amokachi saying Iwobi should be freed up to make sexy penetrative passes? against Ivory Coast his role wasn't creativity. We needed him to put in a shift and that's what he did.

I nearly collapsed with laughter when I heard Amokachi say "sexy penetrative passes"😂😂😂

Omanambala:


Answer my question or keep quiet. Has Iwobi played anything in this competition? Give me his stats

Will Iwobi give assist and still finish by himself? No be una Osimhen dey waste sweet assists upandan?

I hope Iheanacho on the wings pays off. He certainly has the shooting prowess but can we trust his dribbling to get past markers?

Peseiro is just Rohr's identical twin tactically.

When playing "weaker" opposition, both men use 433 and play offensively with long passes from the center-backs used to locate the forwards and a generally positive approach.

Against "stronger" opposition, Rohr and Peseiro alike adopt a 3-4-3 formation with a pragmatic approach based on the "sit back and hit on the break" doctrine.

Neither manager has shown any willingness or ability to solve our midfielders' cohesion and passing deficiencies, choosing to bypass the midfield with the long balls instead.

In replacing Rohr with Peseiro, the NFF only sold their monkey to buy a dog🤷.
