He has been better than chukwueze, and Simon despite missing chances. I will rather moffi to replace chukwueze or Simon let’s play our 2013 formation

Bro we are talking of Africa best player here.. no one expects him to play like chuks or simon but for a striker of his status he has been poor and wasteful. He should be rested or made to come from the bench

He will keep missing chances, he needs some psychological motivation and the break will help

Bannedlargedx2:
As bad as he has been, he has been much better than chukwueze and Simon. I will add moffi alongside osimehn

Bro you can take a donkey to the stream but u can't force it to drink water

You guys should move pass oshimen please
Move on and give every player same treatment.

If he later picks up.fine but for now give other players equal opportunities.

Bannedlargedx2:
Nah, osimehn might not be scoring but he is an overall better forward than chukwueze/simon. The coach should use osimehn as a supporting striker and bring in moffi. Our wingers are very ineffective expect lookman

Guy had it been this Oshimen injure una for nor fit play this afcon?

ChrisKels:
Remove Osimhen and our attack would lose that fear factor. There is more to a top striker than scoring a goal. Osimhen is that striker that makes defenders jittery and overly cautious, which in turn makes them susceptible to committing errors as were the cases against Ivory Coast and today against G.Bissau

Bro Moffi is capable of starting in any afcon team

Oshimen fear facfor and still has just one goal so far?

How about
Equatorial Guinea, Caoe Verde etc attack? They have no fear factor but they score goals

South Africa buried all their chances yesterday

Oshimen is limiting this team.... put in Moffi or Kelechi and leave the wingers to play their game no need for the unnecessary pressure on them to cross the ball

U can't invite a player like Moffi doing well for Nice this season and keep him on the bench for straight 3 games. why invite him then? Nice need him at this crucial time they're chasing UEFA CHAMPIONS league spot

yinkeys:
Jose Peseiro should watch last seasons goals from Osimhen & Napoli, try to setup eagles like that if he wants Osimhen to be on the score sheet regularly
Otherwise bring in Moffi
Chances are not been converted
What is going on
Our wingers aren’t quick enough and can’t even cross
Let natural right footers play from the right and left footers at the left.
Hoping we don’t pay for all the missed chances in the knockout stages
We are playing 5 at the back because the coach doesn’t trust his defense to hold if they play 4 - 3 -3

Bro oshimen will take u guys out of this afcon

U don't go rely on a player that is little above average

Try out other strikers bring Oshimen from the bench.

Oshimen will not score a goal if u keep starting him. Dude is not ready for this afcon

I have the belief Terem Moffi and Nancho will make a difference in this team if they get to play

It is team Oshimen start to come from the bench or else him, simon and chuks will cost Pasiero his job

komekn:
Offside again

If someone thinks Guinea are pushovers well they are totally wrong.

Cape verde or any reasonable team will beat this guys silly

Nigeria played poorly

The aribo you hyped you saw unproductive he was in the middle ?? Abi

Ppogbae:
Not sentiments. Nwabali needs the rest he can get. No need to risk injury

How will Nwabali get injured as a goal keeper

Now I really understand that some players agents are in this thread

Well for Uzoho he had enough time to prove himself which he failed at

Ppogbae:
If we hit 3 answered goals before the half, Peseiro should bring in Uzoho from 70' onwards.

To do what? Was he suppose to even make team in the first place?

You guys thinking coaching and team selection ought to be based on sentiments

Mujtahida:
We need Bassey in defense. They should just tell them to cross the ball. Not everytime dribble and running

He is not good with crosses. Good in playing ball on the ground

Wish Pasiero can try Osayi there instead it will make sense

Amedino99:
has he ever played in any of the mentioned positions?

He analyse football with sentiments as long as you're british you can play anywhere on the field

Joebie:
I think it will be 3-4-3. And Bassey, not Aribo will start

Aribo still never impress me for africa football sha

komekn:
Aina is graduate of the school of complete football.

He could play DM AM CM as well as both sides Wing and Wing back. His passing accuracy and football ⚽ intelligence is high.

This is the reason why you'll be a very bad coach

MyExpression:
It's already too late for that.

Interested parties should involve Human Rights and Int'l Pro-women groups to intervene on her behalf.

The lady is suffering...she no wan do again.
Let her go in peace.

This are things feminist movement ought to be fighting in Nigeria and not been bitter, angry and frustrated

Mujtahida:
Accurate cross and pass is what he said. He might be wrong on the pass but certainly right about the crosses. Having a striker like Osimhen who is deadly in the air and he's not getting supplies is not good enough

Or do u suggest Bassey should be taken to wing role upfront. I will prefer him to either of chuks or simon to be honest

Marjoribanks:
Back to 4-3-3!

Bassey/Zaidu out for Aribo.

Aribo will be the box to box role tomorrow.

Which Aribo?
Kelechi and Moffi including Musa should get game time today

Mujtahida:
That was a pass not a cross Bro. I was musing how Finidi is in the team and our wingers cannot cross the ball.

That guy na still another disaster of a coach waiting to happen

I have listened to him talk he doesn't sound like someone that is really tactical and sharp

M7even:
The are easily the worst team in this tournament.

Zambia were not coordinated upfront for the first 30 mins if they were they would've won

Nigeriagood:
Onuachu is not slow

He is Bro...you can't compare him to Moffi when it comes to pace and physique tailored for africa football.

Against Ivory coast moffi would've been a better replacement most especially in situations when you're playing a countet attacking football

charlesemeka85:
Mk una rest for once. Top players and strikers do miss chances

Mk una allow osimhen be for once

Oshimen don too miss chances brother. The thing dey vex me when we get strikers may e go bury am for bench

Goke7:
I’ve been asking what’s our plan b to oshimen, hope the coach has one

Moffi will score some of those goals oshimen have been missing.

komekn:
The Senegal Vs Cameroon is the best game I've watched so far .

Fireworks 🎆, thunder 🎇 and Lightning ⚡ end to 🔚 just fabulous. Forget team tactics, this was African 🌍 Football ⚽ at its best. Mane is world class wow what a game

The problem with you is if Mane was a nigerian, home grown you won't eulogise him this way

charlesemeka85:
Ekong will make a good pundit when he retires

Pundit ke
Someone that will be a coach. Dude speaks English, dutch, Italian and one other language I think he has started speaking greek too

He is one I look forward to see him coaching a European club when he retires

yinkeys:
KC is an amazing team player
He doesn’t always have to score
He creates spaces also for his team mates

I just hope they take their chances when we face Senegal or Morocco because we struggle to keep possession of the ball

We are not facing Morocco or Senegal now abeg.

I pray they cancel out each other most especially Morocco

Kog45:
We need to see Onuachu and Moffi

Most especially Moffi his physique look suited for africa football

charlesemeka85:
yes because at that point in the game the team needed a more defensive minded player who is comfortable on the ball and with the players on the bench onyedika fits the bill more than aribo and nacho

Yes you're right

I hope Alhassan will be fit for next match?

We're topping this group sha

charlesemeka85:
the worst mistake he would hv done was subbing iwobi for nacho when the team was defending trying to protect a slim win
The rightful sub was iwobi for onyedika

Maybe that wouldve been better

charlesemeka85:
not even tired he was dead man walking and I expected the coach to sub him off and bring in onyedika but he didn’t so I believe he had his reasons

You need see me shouting here for him to b substituted.

Well thank God we won.
I want this coach to look for a way play Terem Moffi and Iheancho in next match

Na Chuks and Simon be problem of the attack. Simon lacks confidence

joelsteron:
I support JP to continue with 3-4-3, with Bruno replacing Sanusi..

Okay with Bruno replacing Sanusi na Chuks and Ekong be the problem of this team. While simon is good defensively..
Offensively him and chuks offer nothing to this team

charlesemeka85:
which weak link? I wonder how una take Dey watch una own match ooo

I agree that he gassed out but he did very well and kept it simple

Nawaoooo


Even Onyeka wey be tank gas e come be iwobi wey be ajebo 🤣🤣

Towards the ending of the game.
He became tired. He ought to be substituted then

Odunayaw:
I no believe my eye say Iwobi play 90+9!

I almost faint

Pasiero shouldn't make that mistake again
The guy was tired and could barely hold on to the ball for long.

I was expecting Iheancho or even someone else to come in for him

dijon:
The flow of the game from 75mins was very delicate...JPES did what he ought to do by closing the defence up putting more bodies there....if he had removed Alex it would have been a disaster....a new midfielder would have committed a penalty or gotten a red card.

Bro Iwobi was a weak link
He was tired could barely hold the ball for long
Nacho would've done better if he was brought in

Even Moffi would've outrun that Ivory coast defense if he was to come in for oshimen
