Have you noticed that Ahmed Musa is being unselfish the but the problem is he passes the ball to ighalo who either waste it or the ball is passed to no one in particular

Please let someone tell the coaching crew this

I think you watched the back of your TV. In our last match, Musa only made one good parallel cross and players were there just that the ball was a poor diagonal cross.every other cross was wayward. Anytime you guys blame Ighalo, he silences you on the pitch. You did not even blame Musa for not being able to cross a ball to the centre of the pack but blaming Ighalo......when Musa cut in and layed the ball for another player, he failed to look up and it was another wayward pass. The role of a 9 is not as easy as you think. A 9 needs to be fed well and as it stands, Ighalo is our best striker whether you like it or not.

pyro62:
Ahmed musa would see a nice opportunity for a shot, instead he'll pass the ball to that lazy ighalo, that wouldn't know what to do with the ball.. Ighalo would have easily been the highest goal scorer in this competition if his conversion rate is 3/10 sef..

But no shaken we go still win! Na God dey fight for Lazy man

Give highlights of when Musa passed to Ighalo and he missed the chances or did not know what to do

RN7 dors not have a gorilla screen, that's video they are displaying is a trick to make more sales which am not against.

This is the broken screen of RN7

You are not knowledgeable about what corning gorilla glass means. It does not mean that it cannot break. Go and read-up how the classifications are done and free yourself from ignorance. RN7 Pro comes with a corning gorrilla glass 5. I do not know about RN7.

Adiwana:
For that price I will go for the RN7 Pro above A50.The only 2 aspects RN7 Pro beats the A70 is the gorilla glass and camera..But display,battery and on screen finger print sensor.Even with A70 supporting 1tb worth of storage while Rn7 pro supports only 256gb,it still a lot.Even for the size(Although this is user dependent)

The 1TB storage is a marketing gimmick. Would you cough out as high as 180,000 naira to get a 1TB memory card? There is no 1TB sd card that is less than 150,000 naira. Even 512gb sd cards go for around 80,000 naira. Now, is it not more economical to get a 1tb Hard disk for less than 20k and back up your excess files there? Your argument about a 1TB support for storage through sd card therefore holds no water economically and does not count.
Talking about battery size, A70 is Li-ion while RN7 Pro is Li-Polymer. Both are not made from the same material. Li-Polymer batteries are far better than Li-ion batteries and Li-polymer batteries also have more efficiency and they cost more to make than li-ions. You cannot therefore say which battery is betterby merely looking at the figures supplied till you subject the 2 of them to a simultaneous battery drain test.

The A70 is a phablet at 6.7 inches and that is a no no no for a lot of buyers including me. It is user dependent like you said.
I even prefer the back camera sensor than the on screen version........I love to leave my onscreen for pins, patterns and the likes while exempting the finger sensor which takes less than 1 second to respond at the back. This is also user dependent as you can see.
In the past, Samsung is not even reputable for durable screens. For every 5 samsung user, at least 2 must have a cracked screen or a cracked back.
Xiaomi is a company that needs not hire agents to sell its phones. The users testify. Their phones(Particularly RN7 PRO) are highly reviewed allover Youtube with little or no complains.

Jollof123:
When u regard RN7 so much like this. Wetin make we wey they use Xiaomi MI8 go do. :

Xiaomi phones are simply value for money. Though am buying Samsung S10+ because of the screen pattern. I don't like it when ppl ask me which Tecno am using since my mi8 shares same screen pattern with some Tecno's and Infinix.

Aside that, Bleep samsung

Why should you change your mind based on what people feel?
Xiaomi Mi9 beats the S10+ hands down on the Antutu benchmark ranking the last time I checked.

TruthinAction:
Moses Simon. Even though the winning goal in our last match came through a well taken corner kick, on the average, he is not a good winger. He loses more than 70% of the balls he contest with defenders. Ahmed Musa gets through defenders almost all the time. He just needs to make a better finishing. Chukwueze is also very good on the right. He just needs a good coach to get the best out of him.

Better!
I thought you wanted to say Musa

Good point from you anyway.

Okay bro. One love!
Thank you.

Daree88:
I meant to say we have untapped players of Chukwueze quality who can replace Mikel. We only need to thoroughly discover them.

Thanks for your contribution

Yeah..I get.

Dedetwo:
Are you a real football fan? What has physicality got to do with soccer artistry? Lionel Messi is barely 5ft 7ins, Raheem Sterling is barely 5ft 7ins and Sergio Aguero is 5ft 8ins. These guys have no physical presence that can scare anybody yet they are forces to be feared in football. Sometimes I feel there is something amiss about Africans in constructive stream of thought. I guess Africans should stop blaming others for their irredeemable backwardness.

Is African football about artistry? . If you understand football, you will know that different regions play differently dominant styles. In Asia, extreme speed is a very dominant factor. In Europe flair is a dominant factor. In Africa, Physicality is a dominant factor. I am surprised this needs to be pointed out to you.

Is Lionel Messi a CF? How can you compare Lionel Messi to Ighalo. In the centre forward role position, Romelu Lukaku is more suitable than Messi. Is Raheem Sterling a typical Centre forward? Aguero is a very physical player and is one of the few exceptions to the build of a typical no 9. A standard 9 has a certain type of physique and height otherwise he will be sandwiched between big centre backs and crosses will not even be able to find him. If you do not understand this simple illustration, google "what it takes to be a centre forward" or check out all the best CFs at different times and look at their structure. It is rare to have a diminutive player as a CF.

Daree88:
That's what I've been crying for. We get stuck to a player that even when they start underperforming, we still keep on with them. We can't continue like this if we want results. Couldn't he have changed Ighalo in the Second half and try fresh options like Onyekuru and Osimhen?!

If not for public outcry, he wouldn't have used Chukwueze as starting lineup.

And this same emotion is what we have for inconsistent Mikel, that's why we experienced so many problems in the midfield. I still prefer Iwobi to Mikel in Mikel's position. Mikel doesn't fit this team anymore. I will continue to say it. If not for his injury, we won't see the beautiful creativity we enjoyed so far. Let's learn to call a spade a spade when it eventually becomes a spade. I am a very blunt person. Kudos to Mikel, but his time is gone. That's the truth.

What was the wrong thing Ighalo did yesterday? You lots are not knowledgeable about football but will come online to form nwa analyst. For your information, Ighalo's physical presence kept the backline of SA at bay and at alert and thus, some other people were free. How many through balls were supplied to Ighalo?

Talking about Chiqueze, he didn't really play well in the 1st game and was just average. Kalu Uche started in that position in the 2nd game and played better.... Kalu Uche also had a better physical presence. The opposition will determine what the coach will play and those at the helm of selecting players are not foools like most of you would like to think. If we would be meeting Ivory Coast, Kalu Uche will start ahead of Chuqueze... Now that it is Algeria, he will most likely start.

You talked about creativity. What creativity was shown against SA aside sending the balls to the flanks and our wingers trying to do something with the ball. Do you mean that if Mikel played, he won't know how to pass or what?

What creative play came from the Midfield against SA aside sitting deep and keeping them at bay??

TruthinAction:
That's was why I was suspecting he is fielding players to the gallery of some external influences which I think are whites who does not want us back amongst the best 10 in the world. No coach plays a winger who can't supply balls to the attackers. Let's hope he does the right thing in our next match. I can't wait to see these bunch of young talented players starting our games. The old players should please retire.

...... And who is the winger that cannot supply balls?

Daree88:
I don't disrespect Mikel as a personality; but I counter his inclusion with the present squad if we really want SE to move forward. We still have players like Chukwueze who can replace Mikel and do the work better, but emotions and sympathy will always affect our sense of judgement!

Asides, if I don't want Mikel, there's nothing you can do about it; it's my opinion. I can't be you and you can't be me. We think differently, that's why it's called PUBLIC OPINION.

If you counter his inclusion, there are better ways to communicate your objection unlike the way most of you sound like ingrates. I should not be surprised though because that's the same way Nigeria treats her heros.
You said Chiqueze can replace Mikel. Do they play the same position? Whether you like it or not, our team is still a bit dysfunctional. I am not saying playing Mikel is the solution but we still have a lot of work to do and yes! Mikel can still play depending on the tactics and the opposition. Our striker barely gets fed with good passes. Chiqueze still has a lot of learning to do...... Passing and crossing.

I also use the RN7 4gb/64gb..the only problem is the front flash at night.. U can never take a selfie in d dark.. Asides this, no fone under 100k beats it lailai

Not like that on the RN7 pro.... Works well. Phone is a beast.... Phone wey I make 2 months research before buying. A colleague that saw the phone for the first time today just picked it up and said.... "Which phone is this? It looks more premium and better than Apple". I just laughed... funny woman. Even when people hold it, they turn it around and just look for like a minute. I give Xiaomi a thumbs up for this... Value for money.

Adiwana:
A70 is 120k and yes it beats the RN7 Pro. 4000mah fast charge of 18W with Lcd display?? The display alone is a turn off.Maybe for a price of 96k its perfect.Only thing it beats the A70 on is the Gorilla glass as this is a must have at least for me

For the price I feel it beats it. The 4000mah battery in RN7 pro is Li-polymer while the 4500 battery in A70 is li-ion. Li-polymer cost more and is also more energy efficient than li-ion.
A70 is 32 mega pixels...... RN7 pro is 48
A70 has Led flash........ RN7 is Dual Led
A70 is Corning gorilla glass 3.....RN7 is coring gorilla glass 5
The Antutu benchmark score of A70 is 170.797 and it is better than 89% of all mobile phones. The Antutu benchmark score of RN7 is 185.115 and it is better than 91% of all smart phones. As you can see, it is a tough call between the two devices but I prefer RN7 pro to the oblong A70.

Chiemerie8:
You should always remember to first compare devices in prices before any other thing

The galaxy a70 beats the RN7 but they are on different price ranges and hence shouldn't be compared.

Compare the galaxy a70 with phones in the same price range with it.

The A70 does not beat the RN7 pro. 96k to 139k. Xiaomi RN7 Pro is a beast. There is no one that will hold the phone and not ask..... What phone is this? I didn't get the A70 cos of the 6.7 inches..... too long for me and no regrets settling for RN7 pro.

Daree88:
You're absolutely right! Thank God he played him tonight o. This guy is our new Messi and Okocha. You can be sure he will perform wonders with the ball in his legs. He doesn't disappoint! It's been over 15yrs we last had a playmaker in the SE. I pray Chukwueze doesn't fall into the hands of the wrong coach like Mikel, and I pray he keeps working hard and not relent. He will be a world star in the nearest future!

I look forward to this coach using Onyekuru, even if it's for 20mins.

I'm OK with this team without Mikel! I pray they don't use him throughout o or else, you will see the loopholes. This team is getting balanced for me now; two good wingers Musa and Chukwueze, good midfield, Iwobi and Ndidi, and others. They are very complete now. And I can see the communication and understanding between them getting better. This guys will still surprise the world if our coach doesn't go political.

He plays well but he can also be benched. He didn't play well in the first match... The player that replaced him played well too and is not bad... I mean Samuel Uche or something(that dude does not even smile).... When Chikueze came off the bench, he played better than he did in the first game. The coach is good and knows his onions. Your level of disrespect to MIKEL is also annoying.

mofedamijo:
NOBODY IS EVEN PRAISING THE GUY THAT PLAYED OLA AINAS POSITION SIR J.COLLINS, THAT GUY REALLY TRIED AND MARKED OUT TAU COMPLETELY, DESPITE IT IS HIS FIRST MARCH, HE REALLY TRIED......SOUTH AFRICA'S PLAN WAS TO USE TAU, HE WAS TO CARRY OUT THEIR DANGEROUS PLAY, BUT HE COULDN'T PERFORM BECAUSE OF THAT YOUNG LAD WHO TOOK COMPLETE POSITION OF BOTH THE FRONT AND LEFT BACK, HE WAS QUITE BRAVE, TACTICAL AND PLAYED PROFESSIONALLY AND MATURELY,KUDOS.

He was my man of the match. So composed..... He shut down their attack.

Lol. He is playing mind games with South Africa. We will beat South Africa if we slow down their gragra. So, we need to play a bit slower and firmly on the Midfield. I don't know if Awoziam can be drafted to the left hand side to stop those attacks from there. If not, Musa will have to use his speed to support the defence with Idowu as a back-up. Etebo will need to step up well too.

Ighalo is your typical no 9 standard, strong striker with a killer instinct. He has mastered how to get the job done with just 1 strike and less ball control. The only thing he needs to do more is to pick his spot earlier and observe the keeper's positioning before his strikes. He almost scored a 3rd goal but because he didn't look, he played the ball to the keeper whereas, more than half of the near post was empty and he could have easily played the ball there had he looked up. Also, whenever he is being man marked, he needs to get out of the defence and leave the defenders alone and go build up play from the midfield.



Simon is no longer the guy I used to know, his dribbling is now so bad and he failed to keep fit as he is a bit out of shape... his shots are not good enough too. He is stronger than Chukwueze but Chukwueze is a better player as he can manouvre better.



Etebo is no longer as physically fit as he used to be. His speed is also terrible as players came from behind to get the ball from him when going forward a couple of times. He also needs to work on his passes and a good awareness of his environment before receiving the ball.


Omeruos's greatest weakness is his inability to judge aerial balls correctly. He does not know where exactly the ball will land when played from afar and usually unable to take position on time and react; it cost us against Argentina at the world cup and made Cameroon score again. Trust Ekong was not so solid aerially as well. Our players need to train more on aerial defence and aerial challenges. Omeruo tried as he used his last leg to save a supposedly deadly attack at one time.


Awazien was a very solid pillar.

german01:
He is not useless because you are not a footballer that's why you don't understand. He was in bench for about 85 minutes...what do you expect him to do.

I was so furious when the coach removed Ighalo because of his physical presence. The Dongoyaro guy was more than useless..... He lacked ambition and focus, he just came in and could not even run to pressurize the keeper nor defenders when passing..... very lazy and sluggish player..... aerial ability too is zero, ball control..... very poor..... Passing, terrible!
I think he is one of those guys that was forced on the coach by the powers that be. How can someone get in at 85th minute and not be sharp. Smh. He was also looking so clueless. After the match, I had to start googling him to read more as I wondered where he was brought from.

Cameroon qualifies. They have more goals scored than Nigeria even though the goal difference is same.
Now, we need to hope Thailand does not get beaten with more than 2 nil. Once Chile beats Thailand by 3:0, we will be out of the competition. I see a Thailand white-wash though considering the fact that they have conceded 17 goals in just 2 matches.
