Onuachu-Kalu loading...

komekn:
I am quite SHOCKED that after all you have read here and exposure to informed substantive commentary.

You made the proposition in bold.

Onuachu is quite possibly the tallest player in AFCON. Because he has height and most importantly aerial dominance. He has positioned himself in that area cohere has the most competitive advantage.

A ball crossed to him in that area is not 50/50 but more like 70/30.

Its a big shame that our wi gers lack capacity and cannot cross q ball properly. Pin point accuracy is simply not within thier ability.

A ball delivered correctly to Onuachu has a good chance of being a goal.

Onuachu has good positioning and spatial awareness. However can any of our wingets cross the ball accurately, with pace and pin point accuracy ❓

In his last game l don't think he got any accurately delivered cross.

Majority of our matches under Rohr we haven’t passed well. That defeats ur argument.
Against Burundi, we passed well particularly in the 2nd half.
If u want to talk about how SE has improved under Rohr state things that are clear, not debatable.

Earthquake3:
We passed well against Burundi didn't you see that?

Gent signs more Nigerians than Genk

Earthquake3:
This Genk too like Nigerian players

Isn't it the one Awoniyi left?

I no see improvement. Commot sentiments that we have been winning.

Earthquake3:
When have we not struggled with our passes

We are actually better under Rohr

We’ve been struggling with our passes majority of the time under Rohr. If u want to talk good about Rohr pick the obvious facts. With Rohr we no dey press calculator Finito

Rockyrascal:
our passing game have greatly improved and there is also discipline in this team. No be all this our slow type of football wey them know us with....our main challenge now is creating chances to score.

1980 nko?

soetanoreoluwa:
1994 AFCON Nigeria vs Gabon first match, Nigeria no 9 Jersey named Rasheed yekinni scored two goals n SE won 1994 AFCON

Hahaha and UEFA coefficient

TheSuperNerd:
Fellow Warrior Elite in the arena of football debates. I dey kampe Oga mi.. . Hehehehehee... I can see you are still in the business of screenshots and marathon debates...

How is the family Egbon? I dey greet them all...

How about other times?

soetanoreoluwa:
Fun fact :

Last time a Nigeria striker with Jersey number nine (Emenike) scored in AFCON, Nigeria won it

Haha this fawo get legs oh. Welcome back Nerdie

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly, I still don't know if we would win but I would love Mikel's retirement to be marked by another Afcon Triumph. We have the quality but the key is in Rohr's hands.

Good to see you too Sir Joebie. Your room looks really organized... Headed to Andrew's...

What do u like about our style of play?

Rockyrascal:
o yes! But have there not been a great improvement in the team style of play?

Add hope to it because nothing is guaranteed

charlesemeka85:
Lol okay, he is still young so em go definently get bck to his best form

You can have world class players and still be disorganized

Rockyrascal:
we don't possess world class players.

Ehen u need to add that condition

charlesemeka85:
Ebuehi is good we all know that, all we are praying is for him to return to his best form

I do hope our return to AFCON will mean winning the cup again.

TheSuperNerd:
Afcon Titbits-Nigeria in view

-The last time Nigeria lost a game at the AFCON was in 2010. 1-0 to Ghana in the semis of that edition.

- We are currently on a Six game winning streak since our 2-0 win over Ethiopia in South Africa at Afcon 2013.

Another great performance from omeruo. I started watching just before his goal, hence can’t say much

U no go wait until he perform first.

charlesemeka85:
If ebuehi returns he should make the right back his own while Aina takes the lb position. And really commend mazarri for the good work he has done on aina's development. The Bobo Don ripe finally for men's football. I also commend leganes for turning omeruo to a beast!

So we have to put age into consideration when determining how organized a team is. OK

Rockyrascal:
This is the most organized super eagles team since 94'
Considering the vast young talented but inexperienced players that make up this team, the coaching staff so far as done a great job in keeping them together with clear and good improvement rate of every young player in the team.

I disagree. The Sengalese players are fluid. Their build up has been the best so far. They look like they mean serious business. Their hold up play also on point. Tanzania are still in the league of the weakest teams so far, don't forget their defense was resolute in the first 20 mins or so, but Senegal come with different ideas in attack

lexyman:
Tanzania are struggling , a lot of errors from the back line... these has made the Senegalese looked like the better team ... watch the game again ... they re not better than the top team that have participated in the tourney ...

I am impressed with the Zimbabwean and the beautiful play by the Ugandan ...

FACT

ChrisKels:
If not for the prodigalities of the strikers, Senegal would av been at least 5 goals ahead. They aint giving Tanzania any chance, their wingers are over stretching the Tanzanian defense, and their midfield led by Badou is extremely rugged and are creating chances after chances.

Senegal is actually good!

minfelix:
Tanzania lookin like d weakest side in dis afcon

Of all the big names Senegal has been the most impressive so far.

These Tanzania defenders are bold

This Tanzana keeper and Akpeyi, I no know who better pass

See Senegal miss oh

Musa made a big impact in yesterday's game. Barring fitness issues, he is more likely to start.
What Musa brings to SE is undebatable. Is Onyekuru better? Only time will tell. But there is no basis for comparison at the moment. Musa has 4 WC goals -- the most by an SE player.

Seychelles game is just one game.

TheGoodJoe:
I do not believe in experience but quality, if not Mbappe would not be one of the best in the World. CR7 AND Messi were among the best in the World in their teens. Xavi as a teen was playing for Barcelona main team.

Whether experienced or not, it is about the quality we bring. Chukwueze despite not being experienced brought loads of quality.

Musa has loads of experience and he uses that to our advantage.
It's not a matter of who is better. It's a matter of who will guarantee we continue to progress in this competition. Let Onyekuru be that quality player in the bench, who can come in to change the game when we are lack of ideas. When that time comes, let's hope he shows the quality you are talking about.

TheGoodJoe:
Is that not because Musa is giving run of games? Did you watch how brilliant Onyekuru was I think against Seychelles. Would Musa dream of having such ability on the ball?

Without Ebuehi given a chance, would we know how good he was in the green white green?

they have a far better maintenance culture. I think that's more important.

krattoss:
the thing keeps me wondering..

Even their almighty Cairo international stadium.

leave that matter.

krattoss:
Why is it that none of Egyptian stadiums is roofed?
Is that a culture or what?

PetroDollaxxx:
You really think so? You really think Ghanaians look up to Nigerians? But if indeed Ghanaians look up to nigerians, then Ghana should be in a bigger mess because Nigeria itself is in a mess. So what exactly can Ghana look to copy from Nigerians? Is it the poverty? Is it boko haram? Is it corruption? Is it kidnappings? What exactly can Ghana learn from Nigeria? Life expectancy is higher in Ghana. Ghanaians enjoy regular electricity. More Ghanaians youths are gainfully employed. According to the UN, Nigeria has more children out of school than any other country in the world. So tell me. What is there in Nigeria for Ghana to learn from, as you claimed? Fuckeduppedness

Nigeria tops the group after the first round of games.
