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

typicalgamer:
Nobody is blaming iwobi
But you forget how Nigerians vent out their frustrations

Iwobi is the only complete player in the team who can do everything at every position at the highest level
Attack
Midfield
Defend
Iwobi can do it all he’s a utility player

Don’t let Apoty fool you we know osimehn is the star
But iwobi is the heart ❤️ and creative force in the team

We know of his qualities that’s why fan’s always expect Jay Jay magic from him

Joebie:
I watched the naija vs EG full match, and I don’t think we did badly. Also, I think the spate of substitutions in the team list leading to the AFCON may be a blessing in disguise. Alhassan, Onuachu, Moffi will all come good.

Observatiins from the EG game:
1. Osimhen will improve in his decision making as the tourney progresses

2. Zaidu is not fully fit. Peseiro should have played Bassey at LB. Bassey gives us better options going forward.

3. The Iwobi, Onyeka, Alhassan chemistry will improve and our forwards will continue to get good support from the rear.

4. Iheanacho was highly needed in that game. He is the kind of player that mends things if all fails.

5. Nwabili was solid in confidence level. Will his confidence level stay up there against CIV?

Danielnino00:
I don't think we will have it that tough against CIV... One thing that's sure about the super eagles is that regardless of our form, we dont lose disgracefully to opponents, no matter how strong the opponent is.. and to be honest, host nation or not, CIV haven't been that impressive in the past few years despite the many talent at their disposal..

lbrichman2:
The way JPes sets up his teams, we will struggle against teams that sit back and play on the counter, but play better against teams that come at us.

CIV will come out to attack us, that will give us plenty opportunities to create chances
We only hope and pray our guys finish their chances, because we will create loads of them

I see a draw or win for us against CIV

AIG07:
I see Kelechi Iheanacho as the messiah in this tournament.

I can't wait for him to be fully fit.

Mujtahida:
Osimhen has poor technical ability. Easy way to tell, he hardly scores curlers. From that position he missed that pass, Mbappe or Iheanacho will curl the ball into the other side of the net

COOL10:
Iheanacho is a beast when it comes to finishing; his finishing skills are amazing.

Napoleon55:
One hattrick from him,everybody will forget all these misses.

Osimhen is still quality...

This is football

Tinneh:
To be honest we need a central midfielder with the profile of Nwakali, yusuf and onyeka share similar characteristics hustle players, but little use with the ball

Papi85:
Una go see the best of Al Hass today

jihday:
I agree that we don’t have a local coach whose CV is good enough to be the coach of the super eagles but Finidi won the league with Enyimba last season, tho it wasn’t the usual format

Papi85:
my reason is that when the team is chasing a game ie like trying to equalize or win by breaking opposition’s defensive low block having him and iwobi in midfield will add more advantage to the team in terms of creativity

Aribo is more creative than Onyeka while the latter is more defensive minded with bigger engine to run up and down the pitch closing down opposition’s attack as well as bomb forward when required

Also aribo has eyes for goals and more dangerous when he ventures forward to the opposition’s box unlike Onyeka

MetalJigsaw:
Bros go find out the Aribo of Rangers that joined SE two years ago is different from the current one. Ask around bro.

He even used to be a sure starter for Eagles. He literally broke into our first eleven and snatching the number 10 Jersey. This is not the same Aribo bro (Although he seems to be gaining his lost form gradually)

MetalJigsaw:
If not for Aribo's dip in form they could have been three... Our midfield would have been just fine.

Joebie:
Congrats to me. Just had a baby

Marjoribanks:
Thank you Mikel! Olise, Amuneke etc should not be allowed near the Super Eagles!

Finidi George is the only one with the temperament and experience to coach the Super E!

MetalJigsaw:
Bros you really fall hand on this KC matter o.

Kelechi is an important tool in the Super Eagles if you don't know... His creativity, shooting accuracy and finishing is an "essential commodity" for take it or leave it bro. (although he has his cold days too)

Abeg who be our current best forward after Victor as per performance? No be KC?

You even mentioned last season being impressive. Shey im no dey do well for SE? Was he not one of our best players at the last Afcon when the highly revered Awoniyi failed to turn up?

Who was the hero against the Egyptian team that was popularly expected to tear us apart? Was it not him?

You just focus only on club football waaa like that no be so na.

And he was also confirmed to be match fit against our second game so what's the fuss for?

MetalJigsaw:
You need to take it easy on Nwakali bro. Dont you think you're being too harsh on him? I mean he's not even as bad as you people claim on here.

This is African football and not the world cup that requires world class players to make impact.

And moreover Nwakali, despite being in the weakest team of the Liga Portugal, has been proving himself to be among the best midfielders in that same league by appearing in team of the week and racking up impressive stats.

Reason am nah bros...

mostob:
You can help him do that sha. BTW, if he had added clips, you would have said they're not enough to judge both players. Na your way..

Starboytwo:
I still never see the team wey go beat us. We have the APOTY in our team.

Any team wey face us must shake.

You dey whine you nor see Osimhen??
Firstly, We get God for post.

Bassey, Big/strong/agile for back.

Lord knows who for midfield?? But attack is the FIREPOWER.

To be very serious, Iheanacho is the key, I hope he can be fit. Then won-daran .

It has been revealed already.

robosky02:
Optimism is good

But

Let's be realistic



What is the update on Kelechi Iheanacho?.

If he's not going to be fit enough for the tournament, why not just bring in Kelechi Nwakali to help add more quality to that midfield?

I think it's an area where we have always struggled to make good impact and an important area for that matter.

We can not afford to leave out a fit player for an unfit player. We need bodies as we speak.

Wetin Nwakali do ?


Even the attack is having issues now

Only Osimhen is fit... And we know injuries can occur

Other attackers nothing

Boniface out
Sadic nursing injury

Moffi yet to arrive camp
Iheanacho battling to be fit


Hmmm

And Nigeria won to win
Even the preparation is wow

mostob:
Use YouTube.
All the clips of your innit boys, didn't you pull out their clips from YouTube?

Marjoribanks:
Tolu Arokodare and Ikwuemesi are two technical players! I love the way they both move the ball despite their height! Watch out for those two!

MetalJigsaw:
How? It won't affect his market value.

AndSunGorilla:
Actually the team needs to be careful with Sadiq considering that he just came back from a one year career threatening injury. May God help us.

MetalJigsaw:
. That their 3-0 loss to Torino sweet me die😂

Kog45:
Oga Meli Meli,Eguavoen got it right against Guinea Bissau a weaken team in our group cuz he started Ejuke and Nwakali but got it wrongly against Egypt until 72 and 80 minutes when he introduced Ejuke and Nwakali respectively abi.

Oga Meli you love this guys and I understand wella,it happens but nothing we can do about it,Peseiro didn't picked them so let's move.

Sincerely,I want Nwakali cuz I believed he would give us more option but Peseiro has picked his team,let's see what will happen.

Meliforme:
Passing skills refer to short passing, long passing, chipped passing, crossing. Eye tests and then every football website that analyse football and provide player stats has shown Ejuke to be involved defensively more than all of our wingers including Moses Simon. In the match against G.Bissau during the last AFCON tournament, i have never seen any of our wingers get involved defensively in the degree Ejuke got himself involved. Don't be ruled by just feelings, open your eyes. Study.

MetalJigsaw:
Why didn't Liverpool or Tottenham see Osayi, Simon, Alhassan, Iwobi, Moffi Awoniyi??

yinkus6750:
Good gesture.
But am seeing Toyota Hilux , instead of IVM logo.
Charity ought to begin at home.
All the same, well-done Sir.
