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:
Start Wetin

Watford never even see am as person wey fit enough and you want make e start for us

nelszx:
For someone who hasn't played a game since November?

JohnBullMySon:
I don't think Ghana will score more than a goal in the two legs.

If I should predict, the game will end 1-nil or 1 all in Kumasi and 2 nil in Nigeria.

Joebie:
maybe Tunisia, but you could as well have shown evidences of my "predictions"
I am not a prophet. My position is based on my conviction. It's perfectly okay to disagree.. One thing you can be sure is that I will not be in the pitch for either side on both occasions.

Joebie:
One thing I can tell ya all is Nigeria is going to the World Cup and Ghana is not. Bookmark this

semid4lyfe:
1.That's the problem, Eguavoen is hung up on the past and is too player centric.

A good coach harnesses the talents at his disposal and adopts tactics suited to their strengths and to neutralize the opponents.

For example, Tunisia was depleted and without 12 players (some of them key players) when they played us at the AFCON. The coach did not whine. Instead, he adopted a tactical formation that overloaded the midfield, played close & compact, cut off our wingplay by double marking our wingers and got the win.

2. Eguavoen is misyarning and making gaffes all over the place.

➡️Admitting some players were invited to pacify certain people & interests

➡️Saying he has not traveled to watch some players play live and that's why they were not invited.

That's a nonsensical statement. This is 2022 for crying out loud and with the internet one can comfortably watch matches in the comfort of his/her living room and assess players.

➡️Hyping a retired player with questionable commitment and trying to bring him back into the fold

➡️Saying he knows his starting 11 against Ghana when the players have not reported to camp and had any training.

➡️Saying he cannot play through the middle (midfield) because he lacks players like Mutiu Adepoju and the late Thompson Oliha.

When you juxtapose the last two statements, you'll realize Eguavoen has already given away his formation and tactics for the game against ghana

Eguavoen no try abeg.


By the way, there was nothing special in Thompson Oliha and Mutiu Adepoju. It's just Eguavoen and his nostalgia for the past.

Dropping a struggling player doesn’t mean one is looking down at his potentials

JohnBullMySon:
Honestly you'll make a very bad national team coach because you'll leave people that you're meant to convince to buff up our squad to pursue "talents" in Nigeria due to your emotive bias and bloated ego. You'll leave the role of a coach to start scouting indigenous players to train. Remove all FB players from our squad let's see if you can draw up a team that can beat the best teams in Africa.

You talk of loyalty does not hold water at all. Will you say that Ebuehi or Leon Balogun is not passionate about the team? Ebuehi that reportedly cried at the chance to play AFCON. Maduka tattooed Super Eagles bird on his arm and he isn't loyal? You can never know how loyal someone would be till he begins to play. So stop judging their future.

As I earlier said, you allow your bias think for you a lot.

Truidstar:
whose fault is it that Nwakali is according to you languishing in the segunda liga?
