What are you talking about? And what is there to be ashamed of?
No be value money suppose represent? Naira 1200 is valued at $1, so what? Should life end because of that or what?

Oh dear .. You've got to be either a teenager or a woman.

Penalty mode activated.
Pajero should start prepping his chickens after 120mins.

Senegal finished first to avoid a powerhouse but still got a powerhouse at the end 🤣🤣🤣

Goal paocher with just one goal

I don't know how to tell you guys this
During AFCON an unexpected player most times steal the show
Like Amunike in 1994
Osaze in 2004
Sunday Mba in 2013

You give all your players chance to prove themselves you never can tell who the lucky one is

I will remind you guys when Nigeria leaves the tournament

Yes one goal in three games so how bad is that? And mind you, he has been involved one way or another in all the team's goals.

This is a tournament where, you just don't count goals alone. How many goals did Ideye score at AFCON 2013 before becoming one of the best players?

You don't manage a football team based on emotions

Bro form is temporary but class is permanent if you don't know. This is the knockout stages, a dangerman upfront is an advantage.

What should be saying is pair Osimhen or slot in another during the second half.

Once Dey make it…forget it,na semifinal or final, be deir bustop 😊

Naso una predict before tournament. You can't give what you don't have.

ThunderFireAgba:
Going into the tournanment as it reaches its advanced stage, it is always certain that team managers and coaches find a hard time devising some tactical noose that will be difficult for other opponents to decode.. it only gets tougher and stronger as feeble(weak) teams are kicked out.

The hopes of our team advancing further rests on what the technical crew handlers as the team(Super Eagles) has been playing below/par what most of us expect here, our best game so far being against Cote d'lvoire.
I have come up with 4 best line up for the SE if they hope of advancing further this tournament with the remaining matches.

Please Anyone who knows Someone that knows the people who knows Someone that knows Peseiro should tag them.

My first line up is: 4- 3- 3.
This is the one of the best lineups. This lineup will link our talismans to the main Striker(Osimhen)
This tactics was effective with Rohr during our 2019 AFCON campaign it paid off in the game against Cameroun.
This formation had Iwobi played behind Ighalo that had an assist and also gave us the winning goal. I think Iwobi pairing up Osimhen is a good thing cos he will cause a lot of treats to the opponent defense line with "sexy penetration passes".

Iwobi playing deep has not been helpful in our recent matches this AFCON. The best of Iwobi is behind the striking force.
His capabilities speaks for him.

I chose Musa to play ahead of Chukwueze cos he has been very wasteful upfront.
Chukwueze ratings in this tournament is very low and has caused us unforgivable missed chances and shabby shots at posts.
Musa with his experience will fill in the gaps as his tenacity speaks for him.

Nice input

Though I think 343 or 352 would be better because that's what has made our defense so difficult to break.

It's the only thing that brought us to the KO stage.

humility33:


So if Oshimen was not in this team you guys will not play?

The earlier you understand that in most afcon that Nigeria has done well usually an unexpected player steals the show

2002 AFCON Julius Aghahowa

In 2004 AFCON it was Osaze

In 2013 AFCON it was Sunday Mba

Kanu Kwankwo our all time best player and two times AFRICA Best player have no AFCON goal.

You need to understand that somehow it may be Iheancho or moffi afcon to shine

If Osimhen isn't present that's a different case. Keeping a known goal poacher like Osimhen on the bench in a crucial game is not a wise call.

That guy keeps defenders on their toes and causes them to commit errors that leads to goals. His movement and presence also draws their attention to himself which is a leeway for our wingers to cause damage

If the wingers were doing well I'm sure our goals return wouldn't have been this bad.

owbabs:
Four more games to go.

Nigeria vs Cameroon
Nigeria vs Angola
Nigeria vs Cape Verde
Nigeria vs Senegal

Una wey dey predict senegal for final make una no go bet o

minfelix:
For CIV to remain @Afcon
Mor vs Zam(Zambia must lose) no draw
Tunisia vs SA(Tunisia must lose)
Mal vs Nam(Namibia must lose) no draw

haaa

Tolulopefinest:
I've watched almost all the AFCON MATCHES.

What I noticed is that NIGERIA MATCHES ARE ALWAYS BORING.

I dropped my phone at a point when watching yesterday.

Unlike today's matches (Gambia Vs Cameroon, Algeria Vs Mauritania) that are super interesting.

You probably don't care about the team's progress

yinkeys:

Yea for 1 hour
Boy aint effective
We have to try others to see what they can offer
Moffi hasn’t even been tried in this tournament
How’d anybody know Equitorial Guinea striker would be Afcon top scorer at the moment. Someone who plays as right back in lower tier division
Moffi should be given his chance
The match be like extra time thing

You keep saying Try, try, try have you forgotten this is the knockout stage? My brother football no day like dat

charlesemeka85:
nwakali has nothing to do with haram football but he is so good and expensive that clubs can’t even afford him

Hope u will be streaming Chaves games in portuguese 2nd tier next season 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The way some of you think ehn... Dude should be given a chance. We've seen a lot of players plying their trade in unknown clubs but are stars in this tournament. Nsue and a number of Cape Verde players for example

yinkeys:
Can’t we play 3 - 5 - 2
Moffi & Ademola up front
Iheanacho just right behind them like Jude Bellingham position in Real Madrid
To unleash Lookman fully he needs to be closer to goal not wide the flanks

Osimhen go dey bench??

Icon4s:
I only feel for CIV

No feel for anybody o dem sef no send u

Don't be surprised if Osimhen's market value drops and clubs lose interest.

He only has himself to blame.

ChrisKels:


Has Senegal conceded yet?

Against CAM

ChrisKels:


Your write up is emotion laden.

The best thing is to pair Osimhen with Moffi. That's what Osimhen needs right now.

Jp hasn't tried a two man striker in this competition. I think it's the antidote

myami:
Its Nigeria vs Guinea on Saturday

Cameroon

charlesemeka85:
Senegal wey una dey tip to win am no be after 3 games?🥱🥱🥱

Senegal and Cape Verde na mate? Nawa oo😮

charlesemeka85:
Cape Verde deserve to win this competition

After just three games abi??

codemaniacs:


Osimhen will not come good.

He couldn't score against Ghana and qualify SE for the world cup...

By now you should accept the fact that Osimhen struggles against good African teams and he may be used as a super sub.

Leave Aina on the left and put lookman on the right so that they can cross to the main striker.

Aina showed he can cross accurately with his left leg so moving him to the right is foolishness.

Lookman start on the RW while chukwueze is benched.

That's is a call for disaster. You can't bench the most deadliest striker in the tournament. His presence alone is a handful for defenders.

And don't just conclude on him so soon. A sleeping lion is more dangerous than a lively dog.

ChrisKels:
Nwabali was not really convincing today

Really? So what and what did he do wrong?

charlesemeka85:
Oga jpes no listen to anyone cus u re doing a great job

Also don’t be swayed to change ur tactics cus it will be more handy in the knockout phase


Anybody wey wan watch tiki taka mk em wait till weekend to watch man city match

The gameplay actually improved in the second game. I saw JPro instruct his team to play more calm and short passes.

minfelix:
But wait oo, i want to understand something, why Equatorial guinea draw with us..if they can actually score 8goals in 2matches…why was our scoring opportunity against them more than theirs in that first game?

I think they were being wary and very cautious of our attacking threat.

Although this has not been materializing but you can't have an attack comprising of fast and deadly players like Osimhen, Lookman, simon, Chuks, Iwobi and others ( in fact the whole of our attack)

We have the deadliest fronline in the AFCON on paper so they've got to be wary.

komekn:
Worrying observation VO is getting a lot of chances but not able to score.

This is gidigbo, pounded yam, blood and guts African football ⚽ warfare. This is not Oyibo football.

Those Guinea guys were good they were so determined dem no send , this was a very hard fought victory albeit lucky.

Maybe we will improve in our football so far we have been scraping through not really winning any game convincingly.

...Good goalkeeping and defense

Goke7:
Guinea-B has more shots on target in this game. Disgrace

Not only shots. Possession, corners, freekicks in fact statisically as a whole.

Ihenzy:
Ighalo remains our best striker in recent times.
No one comes close.
This is not even arguable

It would have made sense if Osimhen had started from the bench. Moffi or Onuachu should have started. Who knows they might turn out to be more prolific than Victor.

I just don't know what exactly is wrong with Osimhen.

Over three matches he has been awful in front of goal while getting at least two to three big chances per game!

This is not the Osimhen the world knows at Napoli! 😕 What exactly is going on?🤔

Does he not know that the whole world is watching?... The only thing that's been keeping him a little bit relevant is that he has his other attributes going for him - his pace, strength, and agility.

Realmrsean:
It's not a must women must officiate matches

This referee is the worst I've seen so far in the tournament

That last goal we scored was a pure goal. I just feel the working against us because she made a lot of wrong calls.

That woman is garbage... She practically denied us of our first two goals in one match.

Marjoribanks:
352
omeruo Ajayi Bassey

Osayi Aina

Onyeka Aribo

Simon Chuks

Osimhen

But they said its 343 which one is 352 again?

Danielnino00:


That our defence is stacked with versatile players who have proven they can play more than one position effectively..
Aina: RB, LB, RWB, LWB
Bassey: LB, CB, LWB
Awazeim: CB, RB
Osayi- RB, RW
Ajayi- CB, DM(Although he was terrible the last time he played there in the GWG)

You can safely add DM to bassey's.

Curtisaxel10:


We don't need an extra CB or CF.

He could have mentioned MF, AMF especially.

akwesenana:
😂😂
Wahala no dey finish.

If he said that performance was the best, them go still roast am.

People fail to understand that what he's saying in essence is that he vows to keep improving.
