Agreed. But why is chukwueze holding back Na..?? Lool

they've not really passed to him.. Everyone locating simon

If na Rohr na to grant the front foot to the Egyptians. Dem go come dey press our neck while we will be playing for yeye counter.

We don't play that way. We take the game to our opponents.

Curtisaxel10:
Eguavoen is a breath of fresh air. A cool drink of water after an arduous trek in the Sahara!

yes he is

Nice first half. Good play from all. Let's go get more goals in the 2nd half.

isan:
So this are the north african teams y'all have been hyping

This one's even played better than Algeria
Algeria played nonsense this afternoon

Nice one Iheanacho

Eguavoen has done a good job

Kinsmenn:


Agreed. But why is chukwueze holding back Na..?? Lool

That is because Nigeria hasn't been attacking Egypt from Chukwueze's wing, all our attacks is from left. Do you know why?

Because Salah is always stationed forward, Simon will always get one-on-one against the Egyptian wingback.

I expect Egypt to change their formation in the 2nd half.

Ejuke would had done better at this game

Moses track back to defend better than Ejuke.

komekn:
I can't BELIEVE my eyes but we are dominating Egypt we keep breaking up their play ,we are not allowing them to play their game.

And we have blocked of the supply route to Salah.

KC is having a lot of influence in the midfield with the HIGH PRESS.

Substitutions will be crucial you cannot keep this high tempo for 90 minutes , players will get tired . So who comes in is very important.

We have overcome technicality , with the high press , work rate, physicality, aggression. Sometimes playing a highly rated opponent brings out of the best in Nigeria.

Also I see more of the GIDIGBO spirit we no be Oyibo.

Thank you Eguavon for making us remember who WE ARE.

100%. The high press in particular, especially from Iheanacho and Awoniyi is really impressive

Rohr, anywhere you dey, irrespective of how this game ends, just know say you be bingo as they call you here.

Aribo have been silent
He is not really in this game
Ejuke or Iwobi in that wing would have done better

I am beyond shock. The good thing going for us is that all our players have something to prove. Ekong passes wow! Top notch! They are enjoying their football.

Like Forgiveness once said, maybe Pinnick intentionally appointed the oyinbo guy before the AFCON so there won't be any clamor for making Eguavoen full time coach irrespective of the team's performance. Based on the 1st 45 minutes, we have seen aggression, confidence. The chains have been unshackled and you can see even Simon putting up MOTH performance. Simon finally able to cross!!!!! Even if we lose this match (God forbid) Eguavoen has given us what we have been asking for a very long time just in this half.

samtol4:
Those who asked the coach to drop Simon mores from the squad , how far?

First of all ask yourself and be honest ....

Did moses simon drop this kind of performance under rohr in recent years?

Awoniyi can play with back to Goal..... a great Addition to striking Department.

humility33:
This is the most interesting match so far

Nigeria is playing so well despite the fire brigade approach we had prior starting the tourney

Kudos to the coach and lad

I foresee us as the first Team to score 2 goals without PKs

You see now that the '94 style is not so outdated

Oasis001:
Awoniyi can play with back to Goal..... a great Addition to striking Department.

yes he can. He is a hardwork and team player as well

So impressed. Super impressed.

We have already zzazued sallah, one more goal and everything will just zzeh”

It seems Gernot Rohr has been giving the Egyptian coach some tutorials

The eyptian game play is jst Mohammad sallah and isha allah

Soo many long balls to reach him but unexpectedly our defence hae been able to counter all of them

Ejuke should be sub in for chukwueze or onyekuru

humility33:

Aribo have been silent
He is not really in this game
Ejuke or Iwobi in that wing would have done better

Haaaa make una come hear talk ooo humility33 you say Aribo has not been in this match? No naaa.
Everybody has been in this match except Chukwueze

safarigirl:

No it is not

Equeavon did a fantastic job
The Egyptian team have been very compact
If it was the Algeria that played this afternoon we were playing I am sure we would have whip them well

I am not scared again

Impressive 45 minutes from the Eagles.

With the way the boys are balling it's like Rhor sabotaged us for the last 2 years.

I must confess that it’s been a while I see the super eagles so impressive in a game

Aribo have been struggling from my observation
Maybe I will check the stats to cross check my view

Because Simon is free, Salah is not going to come back and track his run. I'm certain it was our coach's strategy to target him.

Joezinho:


Let's hope we get the desired second goal in the seocnd half. Because football is a game of two halves and i expect the Egyptians to come out gun-blazing in the second half.

Correct. Good thing is, Egypt will want to come out in the second half and we’ve got fast wingers to counter. Hopefully, it works out well.

Best post so far

Ejuke as a right winger? Lol

Seriously, this match is a confirmation to what many of us have been assertimg here: that Rohr was the greatest obstacle to the SE.
