nothing is left right now, kudos to the players and the coach. Great composure

Good effort

This Rwanda na rock oo

Goke7:
we need to score the opposition is not relenting

Too many unconverted chances

I don't think we will score in this match. It's likely going to be a goalless draw

Now they are cooling the ball.

Nigerian commentator 😂😂😂

charlesemeka85:
I think say na only me don notice this in his game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's too much. He will make mistakes one day oo

humility33:
AE is not serious

Let him keep starting Boniface

Make una dey calm down. Boniface is good. Give him time. Ademola struggled too in his first 4 or 5 matches. Some were even doubting his abilities. Look at him now. Boniface will come good. His movement is good. He hit the bar. These are signs.

Zellas:
The young man has been every where in the pictch, defending and attaching, so its normal for him to get tired towards the end of the first half.

Despite the scoreline, this is the best first half of SE in many years.

It was intense. After the first ten minutes of their initial gra gra, we pegged them back.

Abeg link ooo. Make Una give me link. Ait is not clear at all

Nwabali invites too much pressure on the defense with his dilly dallying

charlesemeka85:
I don advise your client mk him comot eye for super eagles job him no gree 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ghana needs help and his wealth of experience will be needed to rescue our bredas football from obscurity. Even GFA fit add one better Abena for him contract wey go Dey massage am every evening 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also Tonga 🇹🇴 coaching job still dey open oooo

Ghana will be option B. If naija fail, we go to Ghana. I hope naija will not regret it if Ghana employs him and we meet naija. Naija go collect woto woto.

solonnachi:
Ghana 0-1 Angola
Niger 1-1 Ghana

What's happening to our bredas?

Truth is Ghana is now no more an African football powerhouse. They are on the same level as Burundi, Malawi, Lesotho, Namibia them.

If not that my client out of patriotism desires to coach SE, he would have gone to help Ghana.

TheGoodJoe:

Congratulations Bro.

Joebie:
Na him nickname. We all know the famous quote. Abi u want make I remind u? Haha

Which quote. Sincerely I don't know it oo

Setaleonoz:
Finidi was on a mission to destroy the super eagles and bring disunity among the players…

Imagine keeping Lookman on the bench , not inviting Ekong and telling lies against osimhen’s commitment to the team

Only God knows why Finidi decided to go for a different formation. I pity him.

Joebie:
I like the high spirit. But we never arrive yet. Let’s be hopeful that our Pep continues in this fine path.

But why dem dey call Eguavoen African Gaurdiola? Their style is so dissimilar.

elyte89:
Yea DLAW ..one thing I would also address in the team once I am engaged is d ability to take accurate shots outside d 18yard box …when last have we witnessed a ferocious shot dt led to a goal ..I will stop here,I don’t want to expose everything

😂😂😂 Elyte89 abeg ma pa mi naww. I dey laugh here like craze man.

But truth is that players are no more daring like the old generation of players. I was watching the highlight of USA 94 Nigeria v. Bulgaria. Omo if you see one shot wey Amunike whip wey hit bar. I was like Chai none of our present players can even imagine to attempt that kind of play. Tiki taka has finished them.

Please do everything to restore that kind of play.

SamueItem337:
Our last free kick goal was Etebo against Sao Tome and Principe
Our last goal from corner was Osimhen against Sao Tome and Principe

Chai. This is a crisis of wasted opportunities

elyte89:
African teams generally are poor at set pieces…but this is something I av in me ,once I am appointed,I will Instill my knowledge on aw to utilise/defend set pieces .

Ohhh God 😂😂😂

daveP:
We need to work on that. I've been crying about setpieces utility for years yet nobody wants to take it up or give him they're noticing. These things are not mere probabilities again.

We are poor. I can't remember the last time we scored from corner or free kick

DABIGATRAN:
What I would like Eguavon to do in the interim is to get the boys to be more expressive, cohesive and aggressive.

The formation is fine given that we lack dependable defenders and skilled midfielders at the moment.

We could have the wingbacks be more adventurous and create overloads on the flanks. Or they could come into the middle at some point to allow the central midfielders move forward to create or to finish attacking moves.

In addition, we could be more proactive in defending aerial balls and creating mid-blocks by having Ajayi or Tanimu(whoever plays) go into midfield more often.

And scoring from corner kicks. We had more than 5 corner kicks, all wasted. Not even a scrap resulted from our corner kicks. Too poor.

humility33:
Thank you so much brother

Both monikers tied on 8 votes can get 75k each

While the other person that follow will get 50k. I think that's fair enough

Maidaboi

I concur. Be like we go make you INEC chairman oo. Anyway let me succeed with my client first. I will push for you to be INEC chairman.

TheSuperNerd:
It is 3-4-3 oooo. Not 3-5-3.

Abi na 12 players dey for starting XI?😂

This must be Elyte89's work. That CV you read 100x belonging to your client.

Thank you for the correction. I was in middle of something else when I made the post.

I wish you had read his CV. You'd be blown away 😂😂 yori yori for life!!!

Goke7:
Perfection, the boys were already used to it and just added more expression according to the instructions of the coach who must have studied how the system was deployed at Afcon. My observation though and it justified all I have been saying since that we ought not to have thrown everything we did at Afcon away.

Practice makes perfect abi. I see sense in what you just said. But na wa ooo. Who swear for Finidi for him to ditch this formation and start tinkering with something new. Who knows if he had stuck with it, he'd have gotten better results.

3-5-3 is not perfect but given the shortness of time, and since the players are used to it, I think Eguavoen was smart to use the formation. Maybe he even discussed with the players and they told him that they are comfortable with the formation.

Guys, there's a question we need to ask. How come Eguavoen deployed the same 3-5-3 Peseiro used at the AFCON, yet his team had better flow and more goals per match than Peseiro?

This is not in praise of Eguavoen oo. I'm only just wondering maybe the instructions coaches tell players affects how they interpret their roles in a particular formation.

MetalJigsaw:
But Ndidi was well known to be of very good stamina if I'm not mistaken. What could be the cause.

Yes but on a given match day, a player's energy level may dip depending on a lot of factors. He worked hard. It is not out of place for him to be tired.

mekabuachi:
I don't know why South Africa keep trolling us on Facebook with our current stand on the wcq table

These people sef🤦

In sha Allah, we are coming.

Nomyth:
This win is a huge psychological victory for the Eagles, they have learnt how to win again.

Hopefully, this will help get the WCQ back on track.

The clip that humility33 provided showing Eguavoen saying that he asked the players to remember that just January here, they almost won the AFCON, that what happened to them is like telling them to remember who they are.

Sometimes it's not just formation. It's mentality. That's the magic that does it for Real Madrid in the Champion's league. They approach each final with the mentality that the cup belongs to them. Even if you are winning them, they fight until that mentality prevails.

Our Eagles must believe and know that they are champions. Ademola is on that wave now. Osimhen has always been on that wave. The rest of the team must get on board that mentality. The mentality of seeing, believing and knowing that they are champions will make them invincible. It will give them an aura that will strike fear into our opponents.

Meliforme:
He has never played in the manner he did against Benin.
How is this difficult to see.

How are you even arguing this.

Ademola played like he was on drugs against Cameroun at the last AFCON in January. In fact this is like the third match he's putting in this kind of shift.

Wahala dey oo. The more Eguavoen performs, the more my client feels that his prospect of landing this job as Eagle's gaffer is getting dim.

So is it that Eguavoen should not perform? As for me I want Eguavoen to perform, I still want my client to get the job. I'm in a dilemma.

lexyman:
see description , i think say na @elyte89 you want talk about......our future SE coach

Thank you for assuring my client. He is feeling despondent due to Eguavon's performance and seeing some of his supporters like charlesemeka85 praising Eguavoen made him to start panicking. It's good that we still have people like you rooting for him.

TheSuperNerd:
Fidelis Ilechukwu. Reigning NPFL Champion Coach. A bright coaching mind from the local scenes since his MFM days. He coached Stephen Odey when the lad took the NPFL by storm before the boy went to Europe and even featured in the UCL at some point scoring against Liverpool in the colors of Genk back in 2019.

We should take our football serious. We have people who are endowed with the potential. See such a huge industry should not be in the hands of the government. Private investors should be allowed to take over this clubs and run it as businesses so that what is happening in the entertainment industry can spread to the football industry.
