Chukwueze would have to play a part in this match. This game requires us to cross into the box if not it would be difficult.

We have a substitution problem. I always wonder why they take too long to notice that osayi can't last the whole of 90 minutes.
At the same time Simon has no business playing some of the matches he has featured in at this tournament. Lastly, why we don't make use of all 5 of our subs knowing that we have an established way of playing.

Chelle wanted to bring in onuachu when osayi was about to die .

It is not until osayi dies on the pitch before coach will make changes.

Can't the coach see that osayi is tired. If he gets injured no replacement for him and that would be on the coach.

Please tell coach to take out osayi he is exhausted please o.

Coach should remove osayi he is exhausted. Bring in someone to see out the game.

This subs again. Why not onuachu.

Super eagles jersey design concept. What do you think.

The ivory coast victory means you should always have something to play for at all times. If we played them we would have lost with the way we make our changes in the last 15 minutes.

[quote author=chuks404 post=137961813]I don't understand you ooo. I think he was right today . Bringing a midfielder helped us control the game. Forget the goal, it was a transient loss of concentration from our defenders. But sincerely , igoh awaziem pair can never work. I like alebiosu. All he needs now is master the ruggedness that comes with African football[/quote

Maybe good for today's game, but think about it this way , we were trying to manage a game we were already assured of top spot despite being 3 goals up. Secondly, we needed to see all our players and know how well they can solidify the tactics.
Anytime there is a change in formation, all the players become confused. Every mistake made by the players has its root in the change of tactics.
You can still manage a game with 2 strikers on the field.

We might be in trouble in the next round if the pattern of substitution remains the same. The coach is expected to make like for like changes. I keep saying it that the setup must remain the same from beginning till the end.

Always have 2 STRIKERS ON THE PITCH at all times, when that happens no striker tires out , no injuries, more goal scoring options and most importantly, the tempo never drops. A good team might capitalize on this and knock us out.

The coach needs to do better in this aspect. This message must get to the coach. If anyone here has the means to do so please do.

It will make osihmen tired and get injured what is wrong with dessers.

I said it before, never play without 2 strikers on the pitch.

The coach is supposed to make like for like changes , keep two strikers up front. But the coach messes things up.

Osayi should help us deliver crosses into the box, what is all this hesitation all the time.

Baba, some people cannot see beyond their hate dislike for SA. lt's the reason I was given flak for listing them in my top 5 favourites to win the AFCON.

SA na very good team. In the last two years, we've met them thrice and have not been able to dominate, outplay or defeat them in regulation time. In the same vein, they defeated teams we could not in the WCQs.

Aside the results, SA plays very good footie. The way they set up, take up positions, knock the ball around, play with almost telepathic understanding is a joy to watch and is indicative of a well-coached and well-drilled side. Their loss to Egypt today doesn't change how I rate them.

SA's total output is far greater than the sum of their individual parts. The Super Eagles on the other hand, despite having higher individual quality produces less output in terms of quality of play.

Me, I'll be glad to see our team play the way SA does because if we can raise our game play to that level then forget we go win this AFCON.

We need a south African coach for our super eagles and maybe later the super falcons. They know what they are doing up there.

We need our coach to be a bit more intelligent with substitutions. Make them but let the structure be there.
If you are going to bring in dele bashiru put him in the middle and play lookman and Simon wide.
If you have to use onuachu , do so with a supporting striker like dessers while keeping the structure in tact so as to avoid the confusion we had against congo in the world cup qualifiers.
The coach is just gambling with our team while making Nigerians think the strikers are all useless other than osihmen. How I wish my message can get to him.

The proposed Russian football tournament would be great. It would give us the opportunity to test new players and also play with different countries. If it is true I am fully in support.

Looking at the match again, we actually played congo like one of the chan games. Absolutely no difference. We are likely to see the same at afcon if the coach run out of ideas.

The previous 3 matches we played with 2 strikers, we got Wonderful results only for us to go back to the tactics that almost eliminated us just to accommodate players that are confused about what to do on the pitch. Very Sad.

Bastard coach. We are doomed. Only God can save us . We don't deserve to qualify at this point. We never learnt anything from the Zimbabwe match.

We need two good crosses before the end of this Game. Bastard coach.

The coach is mad. He is killing this players.

Fredrick is tired , bring in awaziem . God. Fredrick is tired.

We need more crosses. More crosses. more crosses. The coach killed the morale of the boys by confusing them with his formation. Never play without 2 strikers anymore. At this point we need 2 good crosses in the box . We would score if that happens. If someone can communicate with the coach not to be reliant on shootout.

Moses Simon is ageing. Nothing from him for almost an hour.

More crosses . More crosses .More crosses. Please tell the players.

We need awaziem now . And we need crosses into the box as soon as possible. The Congolese are not good for the fact that they can't finish us off.

The full backs are making errors they are tired. Please coach take them out. We only have 20 minutes please take them out, don't hoard this substitution. This is the only match left.

Please who can help me communicate with the bench o. Take out the two full backs . Let awaziem and onyemaechi come in. Please. Good crosses .Good crosses . Good crosses.

The game now is try to put in good crosses for the strikers at this point so . The coach should replace both full backs they are tired and making mistakes.
