TFLASHOGEE:

Odunayaw:
One was harping on why the coach didn't do sub before half time instead

Stormtrooper11:
Idk why people aren't emphasizing on the Iwobi red card. I've watched that replay countless times and I don't know how it was a red card. Iwobi wasn't even the one that went on a tackle the Tunisian tackled Iwobi and Iwobi got carded. This thing is annoying and painful. Eguavoen is a good coach. He brought Iwobi to change the game play. Guys, that's my view.

TheLoneCitizen:
Nwobodo is not leaving Goztepe this season, the club have offered him a new contract.

He has completed almost 3x more tackles than Ndidi this season.

Sportilitica:
Dennis

To be candid the woes of rohr started the moment he tried to accommodate nacho in the lineup playing nacho as an attacking midfield then you need a very solid midfield to cover up for his workrate; cos he won't contribute nothing defensively and he won't press from the front: but be rest assured attack wise he will create chances even score goals, Tunisian were very smart they saw this loopholes and really outsmarted us; they knew if they let us play from the wings, we are gonna be too strong for them; that's was why the forced play from the midfield cos they know for sure we are one man short in the midfield; and they exploited that very well. Moving forward as a team; if we are gonna be accommodating nacho in the midfield then we need to switch to a diamond shaped 4-4-2 you play nacho as AMF with Ndidi sitting deep aribo and onyeka playing the advance role; playing this kind of formation will even make us toothless offensively compared to the traditional double pivot midfield, but defensively we will be strong had it been eguavoen did this immediately second half yesterday; then we would have repeled the attack against our midfield successful and likely won't have faced the iwobi red card issues; the technical crew have alot of works to do; they need to active not passive or reactive to opposition tactics oh God!! I trust my Thomas tuchel .

If nwakali played yesterday, we would have sent special forces to look for him on the field,shishi e no go play, we are celebrating the fact he had the highest chances against guinea bissau (celebration of mediocrity), guinea bissau that plays gidigbo football with zero sense, should that be a reason to play against Tunisia; that particular game his poor workrate was obvious,we saw how he contributed nothing to the defense,zero workrate in the midfield he was just spamming crosses and passes,I was laughing deep down in my heart, when people thought Tunisia is a walkover team ;Tunisia is one of the most organized team in Africa and to crown they have a good technical crew, since they don shut that Simon; I already there was gonna be a problem, eguavoen saw he needed energy in the midfield to overrun them, they even tried all their might to repel iwobi will all his pace and mobility, try put nwakali 2 minutes you wont see him on the field no caps we did well, Tunisia studied our game very well, even if Kante enter yesterday we go still chop am.
Make all of una dey try take L in peace jaree
E dey funny una wan play nwakali and ihenacho for the same midfield una no dey fear e be like you wan kill Ndidi, even nacho sef we dey manage his poor workrate

zuchyblink:
Our next coach should scout for goalkeepers at home,our best goalkeepers are not abroad

COOL10:
It's moments like these that validate Mourinho. It's moments like these that make him look like a world class coach even if he's probably not.

Manchester United got rid of him because of style of play, even after winning the UEL. Where are they now?

If you want to play sweet attacking football, you need the right set of players.

Let me tell you something; The Super Eagles did not win those three matches because of any tactics. No, they won because Nigerians underrated them. Check the history, we perform best when our people doubt us. That way the players feel like they have something to prove.

Prior AFCON 2019, Ighalo said something during an interview. He said he loves it when people doubt him because it serves as some sort of motivation to prove them wrong. He went on to become the highest goal scorer in that tournament.


But once the praises start coming in, we press the self delete button. Our major problem is that evil spirit of over confidence that has plagued almost every Nigerian team I know of.

I hope we've learnt our lesson.

Fvckk who you think you are. Fvckk your sense of entitlement. Put your pride in the trash bin and play football. Football is a game of 11 men against 11 men. African teams no dey look face again. Everywhere is dry. Boys need to make a name for themselves. If you slip up, the hyenas will takeover.

Who am I kidding? We are not gonna learn shhiiit. We'll probably end up making the same mistakes again.

I'm done with my rant.

*drops mic*

TheSuperNerd:
Same mistake.

An Ndidi-Onyeka-Aribo MF won't be able to orchestrate plays through the middle or switch plays at will. Una no dey learn. But it's fine. Keep judging football based on where player A plays or where Player B features while you ignore the actual and specific skillsets of the lads involved.

Una no dey ever Learn.

codemaniacs:
How can you call a win that was due to goalkeeping error mean they outclassed the SE ...

The SE weren't outclassed , their performance was below par compared to what they played in the group stages.

elyte89:
So going forward what do u suggest concerning who takes over?

codemaniacs:
Eguavoen should only continue if his never going to play the "inferiority complex" football we saw.... That's why people are angry...

he must also start with a midfield of Aribo, Onyeka and Ndidi in every starting eleven with Iwobi, Nwakali and Bonke as replacements.

then Ejuke should replace Chuks in the starting eleven then Onyekuru, Olayinka, Ebuehi, Aina should be ahead of Chuks on the bench..

PurpleHouse:
He should have started with the high press, benched Nacho for Iwobi, and bring Moses in second half as they were surely going to cage him.

That's the error.

But all good. What's done is done.

Joebie:
Sadiq is officially our #2 striker

codemaniacs:
it is not wise to reach out to foreign born talents...

it is better for them to be the ones to reach out same way Ashleigh Plumptre reached out, not all foreign borns identify with the country of their parents.

Nigeria also has a huge number of Nigerian born players to choose from...

the inferiority complex that made you say "You cannot wait until they start making waves and hope that by some dumb luck they will look your way. You will have to settle for the average ones."...

why can't they be "making waves" and still express their desire to play for the SE

why aren't Nigeria born players that are making waves like Samuel Adegbenro, Emmnuel Bonke, Simy and Akinkunmi Amoo called to the S.E

komekn:
You should add teenage sensation Carney Chukwuemeka. I thought Liverpool would have signed him last season when he destroyed thier U18 .

He had already played for the first team at this stage.

Now he has hooked Villa he has not renewed contract and now all the big boys want him including Bayern Munich.

andrewbaba44:
He is playing at the afcon

He might be loaned out though ,just as the Percy tau case with Brighton
