TheGoodJoe:


What I could read from the game is Eguavoen not bending from his principles. He needs to adjust to a more modern approach.

It is time to build our team on strictly a passing philosophy.
This one no be principle again o. It's just Stubbornness!

You're right on the passing. We can't be at the grand stage and the most basic quality of any team, Which is passing, is alien to the GWG. That would be horrible to watch.


AE just gave top applause to GR. We can't hide such observations no more. GR was better.

I hate that this man doesn't just want to have a match that his midfield will be the superior segment of the game. Inshallah passes here and there, expecting to be lucky with pace or mistake. Haba. Nacho is good at being fed than being A hustler. Smh
And this happened just again tonight.


The Most Predictable Manager on Earth right now is AE. Even Babies aren't predictable!!

We owe Ekong and Balogun huge thanks. They saved us today.

Eguavoen no be am abeg.
They deserve Top accolades. They were fully aware all rounda.


Can one ever see sleek passes from SE atall? Eyesore pass, look up, inshallah, backpasses, waste ball....

The wing is easily locked up. Modern approach has made such a style so so outdated. Nowadays, if the fullbacks aren't getting opened space by midfield play to run in, it's nothing valuable to the team. We missed Ndidi definitely. I also noticed the lockdowns once the wingers received a pass. They just can't move. Nobody is opening up any space, so they pass right back to the defenders. How is AE seeing this repeatedly and not exasperated??

If we want to win, can Nacho pls start from the bench pls? I imagine him coming from the bench in this game. And it was going to be fun if it happened that way due to the tired legs the Ghanaians had already.

Looked like Lookman struggled with the pitch. Why the falling? Very talented squad and AE just looks at allll of them and comes with the least lethal formation.

Whoever instructed the Ghanaians to rely on Usain bolt approach obviously studied us in the past. A pity The Oyinbo Wall were just ready for any of it.

So far so good, looks like these body feints and pace is what Ghana brought along to jam us. Nothing significant from their game even if the stats make it look like they were the more better team. Some nervy moments too. My heart relax thinking Simon will bury that Biggest chances, but he went for force over flair. Anyways, the Usain bolt the Ghanaians did in first half definitely made them tired. I wish we had the middle packed earlier. We would have gotten out tops. Will Osimhen start in abuja? Or Ighalo? Didn't like those fall downs one bit.

AE has a very poor record as far back as 2006 of making tactical changes at half time. For someone given a second chance after 16yrs, I'd say baba is reflecting what our local coaches really are. Bad rep mehn.
Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by daveP(m): 9:35pm On Mar 25, 2022
The Ghanaians are wailing that Partey never came through first half. Thanks to Balogun for stopping that slick pass from Partey. I hate that the coordination is depending on luck kinda. AE definitely doesn't love midfield control. All those misplaced passes....


Seems they are closing Simon down but he's putting in the effort to do something but it's not working.


I saw Osimhen tryna ginger his teammates to come press. E be like baba no know say na 2 midfielders dey behind him. grin AE dey fall hand.

Please please please I don't want to hear this again!
Why? Let me rephrase


AE is confused and so stubborn he has no other thinking but to see Nacho start even if nothing comes out of him.


Convinced?

AE obviously doesn't know how to utilize the strength of Nacho. If Nacho is playing normal as a forward only , it would have been better. But we sacrifice a midfielder, a minus, then the so called SS is also a minus. Terrible from AE. Verrrrrry Terrible!!! undecided

Our midfield is being overrun . Revert back to 4-3-3 and bring in Onyeka for Iheanacho. Osimhen is on an island by himself. No feeds...

Can Nigeria ever have a left back as good as Taiye Taiwo again??

This guy was so damn good! He was fast, could dribble, was a good set piece taker and never afraid of shooting the ball at goal!Since he left the scence, none of the left backs we have produced have been half as good as him...
He's been the standard for that position since 2006. I miss his boldness. Though he lapsed in defending sometimes

E pain me say Work carry me comot.. I for Organise my little battalion enter stadium

People go still dey interested in watching the game

Make dem just run mad PR round the city sha... enter Maraba and Kubwa dem.. provide Buses for those willing to attend


Make we fill up the stadium like we did ABS some years back

Make we see weda dem Azonto boys go fit kick ball that day
That's one thing about Abuja. They aren't football Crazy. Coming to the stadium is like picnic or a flex point. That's why I love Uyo. Without the supporters club doing their thing, the main fans were crazy and active.


If they provide buses, they may still not come out. I hope I'm proved wrong though.

You guys are funny.

You don’t mark a defensive midfielder. Forget how good Partey seems to be at Arsenal, he is still basically a destroyer/box to box, not a playmaker. That’s like saying you want to mark Ndidi out of a game or put extra midfielders to counter Ndidi, it is unwise.

What you do is to play to your strengths. Since you know Partey is good in midfield, avoid going through his lanes. Bypass him, easy. Make him as less involved in the game as possible.
This is not about trying to be funny. If we have Ndidi, I wont even mind whatever AE wants to do with his labcoat. We played to our strength vs Tunisia and they took the sole risk of just frustrating our best players and it worked. If we don't want to do that, OYO!! Any football team that can't frustrate the best players of their opponents is in the past. Imagine Burnley playing to their strength vs Liverpool and not focusing on frustrating Salah/Mane??

Tunisia did nothing significant against us but they were mission accomplished!!
