Omanambala:
Bro, the attack will not peak because there is no creative midfielders.

The coach will call up Zubby next week and Iwobi will be sent packing
Don't worry Mazi

charlesemeka85:
Na Osimhen win man of the match ooo

How
That one nor gel
Aina is the man of the match for me

Danielnino00:
This was a well deserved win, IMO ..not a fluke one....

Once again, we missed some good chances...the boys need to work on that..


It's hard to pick a MOTM...Aina, Bassey, Nwabili, Osimhen,Ekong, Onyeka, even Ajayi and Iwobi were all solid...

Iwobi nor suppose play 90 mins na
Abi my eyes deceive me

charlesemeka85:
Just a draw with EG we re good to go

You and who will draw Guinea Bissau?

We're beating them 2 nil

Iheancho should play that match

Oasis007:



We were complaining of Chuks, only for Simon to come in and damn terrible. When I listed him amongst names that should bid farewell to Eagles after AFCON, some Dudes were asking why. LOL!

Simon is done with football
Him and Chuks are something else sometimes I wish we call up Tella

Toylove:
Peseiro should bring iwobi closer to the attack

Exactly Bro I agree

dankorode:
Onuachu is the man to deliver, bring in Paul onuachu

He is slow and looses possession quick.
Moffi is ideal for this match

Terem Moffi should be brought in please for Oshimen and Kelechi in for Chuks

Ziadu be benched for Osayi

Sugarboyy:
Na electrician instead 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine a player playing for FC Porto weekly

komekn:
That's not what I said .

Outside of Iwobi the mist creative innovative midfielder in the current squad is Aribo IMO.

From the midfielders in the team
You're right except we're going to list Nacho as a midfielder

Mind you
Onyeka
Onyedika
Yusuf are all CM and CDMs respectively.

Only Iwobi and Aribo are CAMs

mostob:
And where is the lie? In what way have the homebased players shown they're ready for the national team? Infact, any home based player that got called up will just use the SE as stepping stone to sign for one club in Kuwait or Kazakhstan

Exactly.

komekn:
Agreed without question ❓

Apart from Aribo I don't see any creative innovative technique led midfielders the rest are water 💦 carrier albeit hard working ones.

So Aribo is more creative than Iwobi ?

Komekn

do4luv14:
I nearly enter TV, go beat shit komot for that refree head, when you consider that Keita was Given a straight red for something less

This naughty Mikel talking everywhere now was the vice captain that day. Even Giroud elbow his teeth instead of him to protest it and call for booking he was busy laughing and joking with Giroud and co

That day I told my guys that Mikel has inferiority complex and it was evident

komekn:
I don't see him doing anything.

His form for a forward player relegated from the EPL to the Championship is poor.

He is not fit , is that not a very big risk .

Lol. How many of super eagles have you watched.

There is no difference between you that have an issue with Iheancho and the guy that always picking on Iwobi i understand it was because Iwobi was benching his favourite player then Zubby

Only God knows where Zubby play now

yinkeys:
As a 6
I mean to not know the position of a 6 says a lot

Not everyone here that comments knows football thoroughly
A lot are new followers of the game
I will not bother arguing with people henceforth here

Nigerians need to forget that game because it was played at harsh 2pm by foreign based players
The truth can’t be refuted though, Iwobi is the best foreign based midfield creative player Nigeria has amongst these bunch

Don't mind that guy he has issues with Iwobi

Odunayaw:
Because of 2-0 and 3-0 abi

I have been following that team for sometime now

I know what I am talking about

For the past 4-8 editions they've always make semi finals and now they have a disciplined side

Well watch out for them. Remember I told u before they even started this match

Odunayaw:
see the team some are already afraid we'd meet in future

I tell you say
Either Mali or Senegal go win afcon

AndSunGorilla:
True, I would have preferred a midfield trio of Onyeka, Onyedika and Iwobi with Aribo on the bench. Kind of like how we played in the 1st half against Mozambique. Onyeka to be roaming to and fro and Onyedika shielding the defence.

Yes exactly.
Aribo is not too good defensively and onyeka can forget himself some times by overlapping

Starboytwo:
I guess we need kelechi

Iwobi is okay for a start Nacho can come in the 2nd half

Odunayaw:
Na how SA go lose to Mali de my mind for the night games

Badbelle sweet

Mali and Senegal are one of the most organised team in this mundial. Offensively mali is good.

I rate them as underdogs to lift the trophy

They've been coming close for sometime now I believe this year maybe their year

lbrichman2:
Thank you
That's all we need
Same structure, same formation
We will definitely create chances
They just need to put on their scoring boots
I'm also looking forward to seeing how Nwabili will fare against better opposition
For some reason I strongly feel we will win that game

Yes Bro

Jpes will find himself to blame if he doesn't repeat same formation and structure.

The only problem is Simon and Chuks
No one knows when they'll play well most of the time they play nonsense but on a good day they give a man of match performance. That's why whoever get to start is tricky

Just pray we win on thursday

Samueltemi337:
For me I will prefer we play a 3-5-2 against Cote d'Ivoire


Nwabili


Ajayi
Ekong
Bassey


Osayi
Onyeka
Yusuf
Aina
Iwobi


Osimhen
Lookman

Una don start thank God say Jpes nor dey nairaland sha

Please Jpes should stick to the formation and style of play adopted against EQG. But rather start Chuks instead of Simon and Bassey instead of Sanusi

Mujtahida:
EQG that we split their defense into nice bits na im you dey say we should not have used direct approach. When the opposition goalkeeper wins man of the match that should tell you something. JPes tactics was spot on. That game was defined by bad luck and awful misses

Thank you

Same thing I have been telling my friends
Jpes got that tactics spot on we just ran out of luck

lbrichman2:
I like the fact that, for once, no one is blaming JPes for our result yesterday

Nah I can't blame him

The only error was not starting Bassey in place of Sanusi and not taking moses simon out on time for Chukueze

He tried with his tactics we were not just lucky

ThunderFireAgba:
That CIV game is a 50/50 chances. It's a tough match. Final of Finals
Just like Ghana vs a Egypt will send either one of them packing.

Ghana always beat Egypt

Papi85:
many of his fans don’t even stream Chaves games to see how he is faring

Na based on hype wey dem read here dem tk Dey make case for him always 🤣🤣🤣

Chaves may dem dey beat for home 3 zero which day here

That team na trash.... notwithstanding i wish nwakali well but for now he is not super eagles material

We have much better players....

Barryseal:
Here we go! Lets wait for Man City to sign him before we believe he is good! We are Nigeria you know, the country with 5 world cup trophies.

Not Man City let any top 15 club in England, Italy, Spain, France or Germany come for him

You guys are just carried away with sentiment.

I will rather pick an NPFL midfielder instead of Nwakali

Barryseal:
Dictating plays from midfield goes beyond playing long passes. The Deeplying midfielder should have the most touches of the ball. The game goes through him, both short and long passes. I can't remember Iwobi switching the game from left to right or from right to left. I'm not saying Iwobi is a poor player but Nwakali does these effortlessly. Is it that you guys don't watch football enough to understand what Nwakali brings?

The DLM is supposed to be an arsonist and a fire fighter. He can turn the heat up when gamestates demand it yet quell the flames others ignite.

And yes the fire fighting is done on the ball like Jorginho & off the ball like Rice.

Can you list a Nigerian midfielder you know who can do the above listed effortlessly if you exempt Nwakali?

Nwakali does this effortlessly and top clubs or any club in top 5 leagues still have not come snatch him up

Nwakali supporters are the problem of this thread. How you guys glorify and hail the mysterious talent of this journeyman that is invisible to top club scouts in germany, england, italy, spain and even france baffles me

You guys need to come of it.

daveP:
Yeah

Dude is done with football

daveP:
The fact that he stayed glued there shows he's a poor game reader

You mean Moses Simon?

Odunayaw:
Aina, Simon played subpar? Or you mean Zaidu

I mean theyve not been impressive at all
