TheGoodJoe: As I said, can't comment fully but with respect to what I saw, the Ghanaian team had clear cut chances to score. With he game ending 4-2 and those chances missed, there is a high chance we could have ended on the disappointing side.
U believe in preparing for excellence and plugging loopholes.
Well said. Cos they were just so bad they couldn't bury them and our defense was caught sleep down to lil details. It needs fix up.
Those defenders though.... Is it a 3man defence? They should drill those guys on both positional awareness and aerial duels. They look good on the forward passes though. Light Eke reminding me of Chidera Eze of years back.
M7even: Uzoho's confidence is the growing work of Ike shoromu. Although he has been conceding but there is a different feel and personality he exudes like you said. And I think we should give the credit to Ike shoromu without wasting time
If that's the case, then accolades. Hopefully it becomes part of his permanently.
"We are better than Sierra Leone in this game, we deserve to win. We changed the setup in the second half, I think it was only the last 10 minutes our opponent had some good moments."
"We created a lot of scoring chances, we could have won with a bigger margin, but the team needs more time and we must work."
So far so good, the only local asst he should allow is Finidi George. The rest can goan be backstage. Maybe the Video analyst too. That guy is good.
Nff seem to not regard morale when choosing a coach. I've seen a spark in morale especially in training.
TheSuperNerd: Ajayi actually tried. Not the most elite performance but he did okay. Won 6 of his 8 duels (4/6 ground duels and 2/2 aerial duels). Also was the most fouled player on the Nigerian side.... alongside Aribo.
And ofcos those you earlier quoted are recovery stats. He did resume possession for us multiple times.
It's exactly the angle, but its deceptive in a way. Guy underperformed, wasn't at energy level of their attackers. But recovery increased after Etebo came on. A 6.0 not bad. Anything under 7
That Moses pass was actually meant for Osimhen. Iwobi broke thru and got the goal. Rewatch it. Smart guy Iwobi. Once in the box in GWG, he has a 100% goal record. Check it. Especially in Qualifiers.
Looks like JPes loves the duo of Iwobi and Aribo. I don't see any person big enough to break rank on these two. I wonder how it would seem with Nacho in the lineup. He will make that RHS click. If Simon continues to do the rubbish he does, it will be Tunisia all again when we jam a more technical, equal team, at least. Guy should be syncing with Bassey by now. Chai.
JPes loves Aina. Make Ebuehi return asap abeg. Tired of that number 12.
TheSuperNerd: My namesake, I did ooo. Should be burying it but I commend his initial movement and control to even get off a strike in the first place off that Osimhen header flick-on but it pales in comparison to the biggest chance we squandered today no thanks to Samuel Chukwueze.
I was already screaming goal at work when I saw Osimhen do what I expected him to do. Don't shoot just lay it on a plate for the incoming Chuks from the right channel.... Ahhh Chukwueze ended me in that moment. He broke my heart...
But shaa... we move.... my heart Don heal back quick quick.
But that chance ehn... chaaiiii...
I liked how he was calm but the touches didn't go on point.
I still don't want to process that chuks miss. Its Yakubuic. Just you and Keeper. Osimhen was definitely angry sotey he pushed chuks to leave his box for him.
Finally, something i hoped you noticed....
It's not conclusive o, but Uzoho is already showing Enyeama Elements. That part where the GK shouts down the necks of his defenders, teammates. E remain to dey add top response to setpieces to be like Vin. Boss your box as a GK. Ajayi just looked as sluggish as Chuks.
Iwobi and Aribo close to 18 Ndidi forming a three man defence with the two CBs as the two full backs overlap, but behind the two midfielders. If the two fbs are further up front, the two midfielders should either provide options from the wing play to open up defence or rush in for a pass.
The Leone guys were very confident to the end. That's the kind of team we suppose dey show pepper. But our house is not in order.
The Cbs and Wingers for now are average, for this match.
If the Aina side can just click in the crossing aspect of attack, consistently o, we would be a threat.
The midfielders that are free show shoo in for the overlapping fullbacks. Is that hard to observe and do? Bassey alone, excellent. Bassey with simon- water and oil. Especially major fault on simon refusing to see the runs of Bassey.
I can't even imagine Chuks missed that chance. I can't accept that rubbish.
mostob: Bro..the problem is qualified doctors are now scarce. Most of them dey Japa .. May God help us
They can't even get one that will grow with the team. Long way to go. Very long way. A contract should attract some of those japaing now. Abi? Its worse in the hands of pharmacists. They are even bone stretchers
charlesemeka85: Are we playing at home? Peseiro should approach the nff and sports ministry to take the team to uyo. This Abuja pitch na cucumber farm
Away i think.
Naturally, the manager should get the say in where they prefer after assessment. Nff wey no sabi better pitch dey select dey cause injury. They struggle and we don't like the results. Some acts should be in the past. Politics sef eh.
mostob: at least dem.go bend down and pretend ...shame no catch them. Joke apart bro....a medical team is the most important crew in a team. God forbid, what if there's an emergency like fainting or something serious....I won't be surprised if those two suggest paracetamol
They're 4in Number o. Asides Carriers of that stuff. Yet. E go even better if we get one fine Lady Doc. E dey work for top teams. Not these guys wey no even care say camera dey dia back. I'm pissed but not surprised.
I pray we don't embarrass the medical field of the country on such an emergency, that the opposing team will have to now lend a hand. Naaaah.
mostob: Lol..I thought na only me notice am... If you wan make sub by 70th minute, na from 50th minute you go inform the so they can arrange the something Wella
The thing be like puzzle sotey e puzzle me. Jokers
mostob: Bro..how did you know what I was thinking...I even screenshot sef Both of them be like wetin we go do now? Bros shey na your blokos or where make we use aboniki rub am
Like they couldn't even hide it. Such a shame!
Why are they doing like this to the echelon football team for Christ's Sake? Why?
I will even prefer dennis and oshimen with the former instructed to drop to the midfield when required
Umar and oshimen combo Dey stress the middle too much
Umar sabi slow attack down. Osimhen is a speedster. I dunno why they pair them. Dennis/Lookman would have done better with Victor. Maybe Moffi and Umar may work.
