Arsenal star Alex Iwobi had a game-high three shots and his two shots on target was a joint game-high along with Guinea's Ibrahima Cissé.

Odion Ighalo, top scorer in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, was paid special attention by the Guinean defence, highlighted by the fact he was the most fouled (3) Super Eagles player along with Wilfred Ndidi, behind only Guinea's Bordeaux star François Kamano who won four fouls.

Chelsea center back Kenneth Omeruo (4), Porto defender Chidozie Awaziem (5) and Levante's Moses Simon (4) led the way in aerial duels, tackles and key passes respectively.

Pay Attention to the bolded..... While re-watching the Match.

Humility017:
defensively he did well but offensively he wasn't impressive...
I could barely watch him take on the guinea defenders one on one....

he missed a couple of such opportunities.

The highest successful take-ons in the whole 90min+ was 3 and he had 2. Also had an Assist to his Names. Forced many Corners which one eventually resulted to the Goal that gave us 3pts.

It was a tactical Match, Guinea didn't come to respect us and get humbled, rather to play. Calmly rewatch the Match with open Mind, and trust me, you gonna see what you missed due to your Obsession with Chuks.

That Humility guy is the one talking that rubbish. I would have banned him if I was the moderator here.

Many would have done the same to him Buddy.

Some Dude really don't understand football to be honest. So Simon played worse in the Match?! Someone who contributed lots to our Defence and Attack?? Lol!

jihday:
Could end up being a back 3, maybe that's why we have Moses because of his workrate, then we need to be wary of Kamano and Sorykaba pacy and skillful players

Spot on.... I'm seeing 3 - 5 - 2 Formation based on the Lineup not 4 - 3 - 3.

Forgiveness....... Is Rohr corrupt or not?! Yes or No pls! Spare me Epistle.

safarigirl:
they did not act in a respectable manner, so, they will be treated like the employees they are

God bless you. No need to pamper or respect any of the Players. They must work for the Money. In fact, I won't accept "at least they try na". They are paid to deliver and they should not fail their Employers (FG & NFF) and the Clients (Fans).

Ighalo....... Be like Papilo, make me proud Today pls!

Danielnino00:
Is Ekong on the bench ?

I can't tell Bro.

Danielnino00:
Though I don't trust the lineup yet...I do hope it's for real .
If Ekong isn't suffering from any knock and Rohr really dropped him,it means the man isn't joking....He isn't respecting anybody... In short,him don kolo

That's what he should have done at the world cup!!!

Why should Rohr respect them when they could down tools because of a Match Bonus?! They are playing for Money not for the interest of the Country, thus whoever ain't playing well should be benched.

Danielnino00:
The real lineup will be out by 2.30pm... Anything before that is just from the writer's imagination..

I can believe that Rohr can drop Mikel and Chukwueze but not Ekong! despite that Ekong was poor last week Rohr can't drop him! Its Awazeim that's most likely to make way for Balogun...

Maybe Ekong isn't fit...he suffered a knock in the last minutes of the Burundi game though...

........... Real Lineup and it's still the same Bro.

BikeMan:
There's no reason to mourn about Ed not signing Wan Bissaka or Lingard's mates boinking the bed

Nah..... It's because Raumdeuter is off Today.
