This same lineup should start next game ,maybe ejuke might come in for Chuks

Moses Simon is here to stay ,many of you who spoke nonsense before the game should apologize

Purple guy you don insult my wife and family finish nah ,I hope say better money enter your bank account ooo grin
Eju-wetin!!!!! That guy was just plain selfish today and was looking for personal glory. He produced saves twice from the keeper because he was trying to go alone. Chuks wasn't great too, I suggest having Olayinka on the bench at least perhaps he would offer something else. And next time abeg, make we use Onyeka instead of Nwakali in my opinion. It seems Iwobi will be used on the flanks based on his cameo.

Moses Simon was your man of the match?
Alright, your opinion, and i respect that.

Moses's performance was not a far cry from his previous performances.
Most of the forward passes was directed to him, making him look like our star man.

In my reckoning, as far as top performances are concerned, he is not even in the first five.

Moses Simon performance was not far from his previous performance cheesy cheesy

Una don leave chukwueze Dey find way to talk down on Simon as usual

When i watch that draw between Egypt and Angola in qualifiers, my mind cooleh. The way Angola take score their goals eh. Egypt Defence no sabi Coordinate.


But they did give us some run in last 10 mins. Ajayi really did well.

Then it looked like Simon was now the LB.


Our Midfield won us this game. Aribo and Ndidi pairing may just about be the pairing till the finals.

I doubt Olayinka would have played such Rubbish as Sadiq.

The subs were off to me. Save Iwobi and Ajayi.

Ejuke needs sharp remarks.

Even if Moses Simon crucify himself for the team, you nor go green say he do anything.

Iheanacho's goal was as a result of his cross if you don't know

This is untrue. Sadiq was very active. Remember, we were parking the bus towards the end of the game and he was the only one pressing. He didn't get any chance, and the few times he touched the ball he caused problems for the Egyptian defense.
My brother, this komekn is very uncharitable with his analysis. Given the time Sadiq came in what could he have done beyond what he did? I'm not a fan of Sadiq as in he play oo, he no play oo, I no send but its just so unfair to dig into him the way komekn has done

Sorry bro but Ejuke has no excuse especially for the second he could have hit a one time ball to Iwobi which would have left the Egyptian defender at sea. It was when he advanced and slightly changed his angled run that the defender could now block Iwobi's path.

Chidera has bags of ability but his decision making has to improve massively.

drDoom3:
Also you guys are saying Ejuke was selfish for the two shots he had saved.

For the first, he pushed the ball too far out that he could not give an accurate pass sideways before having it cut out, so he just went for the shot.

For the second, Iwobi got closed down by the defender immediately Ejuke got the ball in an area he could pass to him. Everyone he could pass to was closed down or marked. The only free guy was Sadiq, and he arrived into position too late.

Perhaps having to make your international debut as a sub in a game of this magnitude has something to do with it?

The say the best defence is to attack .

So when you be come on with just 20 minutes to go , you run your socks off. So you press from the front, this is basic football.

He comes on and he is so slow and languid he couldn't chase a single defender down. Oh he is a snail no problems.

You are 6'5" every ball in the air is yours ,failed woefully there too, ok he is big Dude, bully the Egyptian defender on no big 4 NUTTIN got bullied by the Egyptian defenders instead.

Now compare what Awoniyi did and what he did one was nowhere to be seen and the other was dominating fton the first minute.

Sadiq should be sent home NUTTIN to offer.

Dem Dey craze grin

Good game from nacho ,but players like Aribo Ekong even played better than him

I disagree.

Kelechi perfectly linked up the midfield and the attack. He had at least 3 assists in this game if Awo had converted some of his passes.

So, I do not think Aribo and Ekong played better than he did. You can have shouts for Aina in this game and Simon, but ultimately, Kelechi's goal gave him the edge.

Still, I'm just glad we played well enough to have so many top contenders for MOTM, everyone put in a shift including subs Ejuke and Iwobi

Sadiq was so felefele, reminded me of Kanu in his later years for Nigeria; just lacking solidity

I agree that he did not bring much to the attack, and probably did more of losing the ball.

He's a tall guy, but he does not have the sturdiness of Awoniyi

Football takes no prisoners and you either perform and get dropped.

Ajayi comes in in the place of Omeruo and he makes an immediate impression. Fast and tenacious with his first touch of the ball.

I thought Ajayi was slow but he showed he is not be today. I actually prefer him to Omeruo.

You seize the moment with the few minutes you have and make an impression.

All the Nwakali supporters can finally allow us hear word. But they won't. They will come here to say he wasn't given much time.. Nwakali is not SE material. That guy is wack. Severely wack.

0 goal and 0 assists in over 30 games for a player plying his trade in the segunda league as a supporting striker is an eyesore.

The only reason he's in the team is because his big daddy likes him ..

Sadiq didn't play badly na. In fact what did you expect him to do. No be the ball wey come your side you go play? Same thing as Nwakali who came in ten minutes to the end of the game.
This thing you guys do in the name of objectivity is toxic. I am a very objective person by nature and my profession has helped me to be even more so.
Given the time they came in, it is best to suspend judgment on them until they play for a stretch.

Check this: in the first half, Ola Aina was quiet, basically doing his defensive duties but see how he surged forward pushing our attack in the second half.

Calm down abeg

You are right about aina

Kelechi had a very good game for sure ,Ekong was superb at the defense

You might just be right by saying Kelechi goal gave him an edge ,he should have scored a brace though,but I am satisfied we got the 3 points .

Man of the Match for me is Ndidi. First time I enjoyed watching him in GWG. He was solid and battle ready to sink Pharaohs in red Sea.

Simon was outstanding. We saw Simon of Nantes not Simon of Franco German Boboye Era. His end product is questionable though, trust him to adjust.

Awoniyi was exceptional, his presence on the Pitch was a huge Bonus to Iheanacho. Eguavoen wanna recreate Yekini and Amokachi Combo, hope it works with the Duo.

Ekong diagonal passes were so perfect, kudos to stand-in skipo. Aina and Zaidu played well, especially Aina.... he proves his Doubters wrong.

Chuks... not his day, trust him to light up Garoua in the next Match. Ejuke....... sigh! That Dude has a long way to go. Aribo..... always a Joy to watch.


Kudos to Eguavoen and his Crew.
