Samueltemi337:
Iwobi far better than aribo

Meliforme:
I don't want to call Eguavoen a poor tactician.
He was not just outclassed, he was in want of ideas.

Have you forgotten that I said Eguavoen showed the mentality of a loser when he talked about his sleepless nights spent in the effort to draft the 28 man list. I said that it shouldn't be so. Life is predictable, we spot patterns, and we tell.
Eguavoen was clearly in want of ideas.

Coming to tell us the boys tried, is akin to saying i spent sleepless nights drafting the 28 man list. Efforts without intelligence will make excuses and failure. Eguavoen was outclassed.

Dude also knows subconsciously that he will fail and you can tell from his speeches, his excuses etc.

Meliforme:
I have seen Eguavoen through and through.
I kept talking about the wrong things with him, before the AFCON and after.
The explanation he gave regarding Onazi's invitation is one of his methods of making excuses for a possible failure. He is always blaming things, he is always counting on luck.

I pray the coach that will take over from him won't be worse.

Anyway, team news


Good line up, yes?

Looks like 4-3-3

Cocking:

TheGoodJoe:


So 4-4-2 is not the problem but it being implemented the wrong way by the manager. There is no guarantee they will get the right tactical balance if they switch to a 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 or 3-5-2.

As from my perspective, we are getting the basics of the modern game wrong.

benji93:
Great, unfortunately, they are average. So their passing would still suck. Philosophies are nice and indicate you know what you are doing, but they are useless anyway. Your philosophy is only as good as your players.

TheGoodJoe:

4-4-2 is not the problem but our playing style. We are really suffering from poor buildup plays.

benji93:
You too don come ooo. Nwakali? You know say that young man don play for us before? Are we talking about the same Etebo?

benji93:
We all become prime analysts after the game. You didn't know this? He brings in Lookman, who no play anything, 'Oh no he should have started Lookman Ahead of Moses Simon'. Some said, oh don't play 4 2 4, he started with it, changes it to a more balanced midfield, someone says, 'Oh no he should have continued with 4 2 4. Believe me if he starts Lookman in place of Moses Simon, and he doesn't perform, believe me, some of us will say, 'Oh, why would any serious coach start him, he's not used to the physicality of African football'. Lookman was quite lost for the most part, which i understand, hopefully he learns. Anywhere Bele face analysts. Meanwhile The same Rohr dey use Simon and Chukwueze constantly. But never mind, you and i agree he's at best average.

If you are looking for the personnel for a good game of sleek passes, you have Etebo and Nwakali,

Another senior analyst is telling us to adopt a passing philosophy. Are you kidding me? Where is the personnel? Even for the club football we are all watching no be every great coach they adopt am. I understand him though, he's a Guardiola faithful. . Ofcourse stringing some passes is good. I mean how can you build up without it? Their passing today was actually ok, excluding the first 25/30 minutes. Horrible.

No mind me abeg i like to cause trouble sometimes.

All in all Eguaveon better not fail us in Abuja. Whatever he go do to win that match he better do.

Joebie:
It would have been great with Ndidi.. But Etebo and Onyeka held their own

Icon4s:
Playing away in Africa is not always an easy task; be it likes of Sierra Leone, Malawi, Uganda etc.

Our boys coped very fine and were better coordinated than the Ghanaian team.

An away draw at this stage of the qualifiers is not a bad one.
No matter how you look at it, Nigeria has the advantage going into the second leg.

chuks404:
rubbish talk. how e take concern us, the bottom line is that Ghana couldn't win after all the noise. Their end product was wack.

Sportilitica:
Chukwueze has really regressed. Is he injured or has lost confidence?

Sugarboyy:
I don't know and don't wanna talk about other players but I think, same way I stated during the last ANC that Chukwueze is retrogressing and should be excused from the NT as soon as possible. He doesn't seems to add anything meaning to SE matches anymore and the earlier another player is made to takeover his position in the SE, the better for us all.

Subzero47:
Simon and Chukwueze can't be blamed much today because they are basically playing as midfielders

leathalbeast:
very funny, i didnt say juju, i said spirit unless u are not a christian then u dont believe in spirituality. Like i said spiritually, we are done with u guys.

JohnBullMySon:
Ejuke is a trickster but far too predictable. He basically does two things. If you don't mark him, he'll try to take the shortest diagonal to the 18 yard box. If you mark him on time, he'll push down to the corner flag. Passing is almost non-existent

Don't get mesmerized by sheer skillful display. Chukwueze is more unpredictable and productive.

charlesemeka85:
ejike not ejuke

Mk una no Dey follow oyibo dey mumu

JohnBullMySon:
You're only correct with the dribble part. Ejuke is far too predictable for defenders even though he dribbles well.

JohnBullMySon:
So ndidi is this important?

I remember when y'all always say he's average in the SE.

andrewbaba44:
