Marjoribanks:
The Malian coach removed his best players thinking the match is over!

That decision might cost him his job and potentially first AFCON trophy!

Same th ing Pasiero does when ever he bring in Onauchu instead of Moffi that can pressure the defense and score

Curtisaxel17:
Sure, I did. Did you watch Moffi's games this season? Can you tell me that with such a player, we would miss Osimhen a lot if Osimhen got injured?

Of course they are two different players so don't come and compare their speed and jump. But with Moffi's strengths in terms of ball tenacity, decision making, offside awareness/ positioning, accurate shooting, etc, I wouldn't lose any sleep if Osimhen was unavailable. And then there is Iheanacho, another potential CF.

Osimhen is highly replaceable, Sir.

I am not really happy with Pasiero not giving Moffi a playtime even if it is 10Mins. I understand sha the man has never won a laurel in all his coaching career sha. This is the first time...So he is trying to stick to his lucky team and subs

Odunayaw:
EPL doesn't need scouting. Their media will do it for him.

Let the boy just keep scoring.

Bro we need to cap this British guys that has Canadian or any of the EU country citizenship.

We need to be fast too and not let this guys keep doing their thing without calling them up. How I wish someone can be drawing Pasiero attention to this.

charlesemeka85:
person wey suppose odinala forum I no knw wetin em dey find for football forum 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just weak. Onyeka is a CDM and CM. Not an attacking midfielder. Why compare him with Iwobi

If he compare Iwobi with Aribo I will understand...

Odunayaw:
I don adopt this Elijah Adebayo

We were born on the same day. Crusade to cap tie him begins now

Pasiero is not that good in scouting players like Rohr. He barely can scout Nigeria Players abroad....That's one of his biggest problem.

Omanambala:
Onyeka is playing a different role from Iwobi. Iwobi's job is to control the game which comes with being efficient with passes. Onyeka is playing defensive midfield and back to back midfield. Iwobi was removed because after the first half he was spent and became a liability to the team. Onyeka held that midfield and controlled it after Iwobi was removed.

In case, you haven't noticed, Onyeka has stamped his influence and authority in that team. He is very key and almost irreplaceable in that team. Perhaps, his quiet nature isn't helping him.

I watched him deliver long and short accurate passes. He bossed that midfield yesterday. I think you guys have a preference for Iwobi for some reasons.

Onyeka is the spine of this squad!

Mazi do u really know football at all?

Iwobi is iireeplacable in that team. He connects the midfield and attack. Maybe when we get either of Eze or Olise then we can bench Iwobi that if they adapt to africa football

Iwobi fluid passes and football intelligence is uncommon. If u have any problem with him...That's fine but when it comes to the super eagles...give him his flowers

yinkeys:
We hope this doesn’t affect us in the semis
Imagine being 1 goal up and the opponent score in 85th minute because coach doesn’t bring in fresh legs early
Momentum is a powerful force and it could adversely affect us
The game against Cameroon was better than what we saw against Angola
Our players seemed tired in the second half
Not covering enough distance
They need to up their game in the semis
I think the semis would be very tough and draining

To be honest with u
Pasiero is very annoying. Why remove Oshimen put in Onauchu? Can Onauchu get you goals had it been Angola later scored and dragged that game to extra time?

The coach need to understand Musa, Moffi and Iheancho abilities most especially Musa with Afcon experience

Imagine the experience Ekong brings. This would've been missed had it been he didn't include Ekong in the team

Alot is wrong with our politicians
This men want to start using the sweat of this young lads in the field of play as their achievements. I am tired of them.

Kog45:
Sir,Ojo and Uzoho should rest and let us see Nwoke who will make Nwabali to sit tight.

Egbon u like this Nwoke guy sha
I think Nwabili performance will likely open more doors for nigeria goal keepers to play in the south Africa league...I hope either of Nwoke, Amas or Osayi gets a deal pull through this year

Unlimited22:
E get people wey suppose give chance for this team after this Afcon


Aribo, Ojo, Uzoho, Onuachu, Sadiq Umar suppose clear road small make Ndidi, Okonkwo, Okoye, Boniface and Gift Orban Show face. Taiwo Awoniyi should return too. And we need a left back if we're going to continue playing this formation.

Zaidu Sanusi doesn't have the brains and Calvin Bassey doesn't have the lungs.

This should also be Ahmed Musa's swansong.

Abeg add Nathan Tella and that Luton guy

PinkNature:
That their flag Na vawulence sha.

You know this lusophone countries fought Portugal tooth and nail for their independence. Portugal ruled them for 500 years

Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, Angola and Cabo Verde

elyte89:
For aribo life ….make him no honor any match again even if dem invite am 😀😀😀😀

I nor know why that man nor put Onyedika instead

Aribo is just annoying me even putting on No. 10 jersey

jihday:
Onyedika for who? Moffi for who? I won’t even swap Simon or Ademola for Nacho because he doesn’t have Simon industry and Lookman is so high on confidence

Aribo has no business in this game....Onyedika would've been substituted in instead

caprikon:
Zaidu ...chai

Physically strong and fast but his limited football brain keeps popping up.

All this while he played for FC Porto he learnt nothing
Now I know why Komekn is always on his case

typicalgamer:
Remove zaidu??

It seems like his attacking shortcomings has made you forget that he’s an excellent and competent defender

Remove him

Defensively he is giving the guy with dyed hair lot of space to push forward and offensively he is killing our attack

Zaidu is a terrible player

See how he killed that last attack even defensively his wing has been exposed

COOL10:
A lot of people are going to laugh at this, but I see Onuachu scoring a bicycle kick in the 86th or 87th minute of today's match


All things are possible, to those who believe

That guy is too slow and lack stamina

Not suited for africa football. Wish those times they substituted him it was either Musa or Moffi instead

chrisooblog:
I agree they should leave all these phone calls until final na!

Send a goodluck message and keep it moving.

Don't mind them. To them that is their achievement
Bunch of useless politicians keep Making Nigerians poor and suffering.

Insecurity and poverty they can't tackle
Abuja is turning to something else and naira keep depreciating by the day nothing reasonable is been done.

If the super eagles win the cup they'll list it as part of their achievements in 2027

Namaster:
Imagine making Child Trafficking a "custom" because of poverty.

Imagine being so poor that rather than paying off the debt you owe FairMoney, you decide to give them your little daughter.

Poor people should NOT be allowed to have children.

This are things feminist movement ought to kicking against and not fighting men on Facebook and twitter

Omanambala:
It's not as if Nigeria does not have what it takes to beat them. But you will be tough....very tough.

Why is it that you love violence so much?

Danielnino00:
I've my suspicion that the guy might be involved in match fixing based on how he conceded that goal against Saudi Arabia.. it reminds me of Ejide against Scotland in that pre world cup friendly in 2014..

It is possible but he is a horrible goal keeper

If it was Nwabili that goal we conceded in Rwanda against Zimbabwe won't have happened

I wish the super eagles well though but I have reduce my hopes with Uzoho in goal

ThunderFireAgba:
Guys do you think our 1st 11-lineup is good as our 2nd 11 with 3-4-3 formation?



Uzoho

Awaziem. Omeruo. Sanusi.


Osayi. Al hassan. Aribo. Bruno.


Chukwueze. Moffi. Musa.

Subs: Onuachu, Iheanacho, Onyedika.

We might loose this match with Uzoho in goal

Uzoho can not take us to the finals

Pasiero goofed on this. He should have taken Amas, Osayi Kingdom or the sporting lagos goalie as one of the 3 goal keepers

Uzoho will just frustate this guys efforts

Femmyfamous4u:
What most people don't know is that the refinery can refine all kinds of crude including US shale oil. With Nigerian crude it can only do 350k per day thereby not reaching full potentials.

But Nigeria produces 1.7M barrels of crude per day.. why can't he just use nigeria crude

Please can I convert a 1.9Kva Generator to Gas running

Daninya33:
One of the foreign born in the U.K is now ready to change allegiance.
He is about to become a Super Eagles.

Watch out,it will happen soonest.

Who is the person?

Should Nigeria win this afcon

The likes of Emeka, Madueke, Lesley, Eze, Tosin will start have a rethink

komekn:
When faced with truth most liars EVADE or just hide and keep QUITE.

I understand 😊

Every reasonable person that value his/her time will always ignore you for good.

yinkeys:
Yea for 1 hour
Boy aint effective
We have to try others to see what they can offer
Moffi hasn’t even been tried in this tournament
How’d anybody know Equitorial Guinea striker would be Afcon top scorer at the moment. Someone who plays as right back in lower tier division
Moffi should be given his chance
The match be like extra time thing

Leave this people to them oshimen is Yekini and Aghahowa combined. He does no wrong even when he misses the midfielders will be blamed.

He is the only potent striker in Nigeria that can keep defenders in their toes, he has all round play and he is a poacher with just 1 goal

It is even good Orban or Akor Adams were not called because na bench they go for dey.

MetalJigsaw:
If Osimhen isn't present that's a different case. Putting a highly notorious goal poacher Osimhen on the bench in a crucial game is not a wise call.

That guy keeps defenders on their toes and causes them to commit errors that leads to goals. His movement and presence also draws their attention to himself which is a leeway for our wingers to cause damage

If the wingers were doing well I'm sure our goals return wouldn't have been this bad.

Goal paocher with just one goal

I don't know how to tell you guys this
During AFCON an unexpected player most times steal the show
Like Amunike in 1994
Osaze in 2004
Sunday Mba in 2013

You give all your players chance to prove themselves you never can tell who the lucky one is

I will remind you guys when Nigeria leaves the tournament

comodo:
Even with 10 men against Tunisia @ Afcon he still pushed Tunisia to the end if not that our attackers forgot their scoring booth. He even played Ghana with 2 major absentees in the MF but still out played and out muscled them even in their backyard. Our undoing was still our strikers. SE boasts of fearsome strike force. But I have not seen them come to the party when push comes to shove. Maybe they will prove me wrong this time and start burying even half chances.

Exactly

I really need to apologize to that man.

Afcon have really thought me something that a coach must be willing to take risks with all his players because he never can tell which will shine

Equaevon problem against Tunisia was starting iwobi from the bench..... and against Ghana he was just unlucky

MetalJigsaw:
That's is a call for disaster. You can't bench the most deadliest striker in the tournament. His presence alone is a handful for defenders.

And don't just conclude on him so soon. A sleeping lion is more dangerous than a lively dog.

So if Oshimen was not in this team you guys will not play?

The earlier you understand that in most afcon that Nigeria has done well usually an unexpected player steals the show

2002 AFCON Julius Aghahowa

In 2004 AFCON it was Osaze

In 2013 AFCON it was Sunday Mba

Kanu Kwankwo our all time best player and two times AFRICA Best player have no AFCON goal.

You need to understand that somehow it may be Iheancho or moffi afcon to shine

comodo:
Make I no talk wetin dey my mind before they will ban me for 100days. Ghana went to world cup with 1 shot at goal which they happened to score. They were out played, out muscled even in their home turf. Ghana became his bride because they hired Chris Houghton. He couldn't even win 1 match. Whoever compares this man to Eguavon should be sent to Gwoza hills and be used as a target practice.

Now i will say Equaevon was not a bad coach
He was just so unlucky

Setaleonoz:
Olise must represent Algeria o

Don't mind the lost boy
Na him papa i blame sha.... If your son wanna turn for algeria when Nigeria and france are options

May e go play for algeria and whenever they crash out like this they will serve him racist slur
