I think his expectation plays a role on his bias.

If you go through the comment, you'd find him saying he never expected that from Ajayi, meaning he doesn't even watch these guys but have a fixed mindset that they should play this way and that's what he's using to judge Sadiq too.

I think that's why most commenters here usually tell him to watch players first before writing comments about them or he should stick to the EPL players since those are the players he watches more.

It would be better to qoute the specifics of what I have said, when you refer to me. It seems you have intended to misinform and misdirect ,to support your own prejudiced opinion.

I specifically said I did not know Ajayi was that fast, that's the key attribute.

When players are really tall, because they have a very long stride it gives the impression they are slow. But when you see that stride next to a player who is not so tall you will notice sometimes 2/3 strides to one stride of the much taller player. Thats what I noticed and reviewed my opinion of him.

Having pace as a defender is a very good attribute to have. I could add that Ajayi isn't tall fit nithini he scores be a lot of headers from set pieces by and has clear aerial dominance.

Equatorial Guinea dey play CIV Sha


There is an appeal for handball from EQG. Dem check VAR, but nothing dey

do4luv14:
That's what Nff proposed, if Austin performs well, he will continue as Coach, with Peseiro as his TA

Too late. The decision has already been made. Peseiro will be our next coach. Eguavoen would return to his former role as nff technical adviser

The hand was not in it's normal position. So how is it not a penalty

daveP:
Anything that would make Eguavoen take SE to finish in top 3, he should be trusted with taking the team to Qatar, just like the late Keshi was trusted after 2013 triumph.


I like Rohr's 2018 for some reasons especially ease of playing, but Franco-German don bam. The fact that Eguavoen's teammates are even supporting is proof that this time, things are expected to be different.





Dennis is definitely no sleeping well. We not even unleashed Onyeka yet o.

You want them to start owing him like they owed keshi and amodu. Too late

Do we need victor moses in this team

JayromWrites:
Omoh Sanusi wey keep Salah at Bay for most part of the game??


Man, I can't even find a weak link in the starting eleven

The front pressed well(Ralf should learn from Austin the art of gen gen pressing)

The midfield were compact

Defence impressed me especially Kenneth.

Salah was roaming and was not restricted to the right wing. Coming down the middle even the left on occasion.

To say Zaidu kept Salah at bay you would have to say many times he went one on one with Salah.❓

The midfield worked over time Ndidi in particular with Moses and what they did was to block of the supply to Salah. And in the few occasions he did , we double teamed him. Omeruo was active coming out of defence to block of any supply to Salah good anticipation.

He rarely if at all got the opportunity to go one on one with anybody. It was a tactical masterclass ,he was denied space and access to the ball.

So your analysis is far from factual.

daveP:

Scenes where North African teams break away from CAF and join their Arab brethren....


This is Disgraceful abeg. Tunisia did the right thing by declining.

Controversial Opinion: I think they should

mumemma:
Amaziem had a strain....Omeruo na groin...Will be out for 2 weeks

Hmmm! Are you joking!? Let it not be true ooo. We need Omeruo ooo.

safarigirl:
I've been talking about Cote d'Ivoire (maybe not on here Sha), but I've stated multiple times that I see them as a strong team, even though they lost to Cameroon during WCQ

Another team that has played with seriousness aside Nigeria so far.

stop the hype

Kessie with a new hairstyle he look like one Ghana actors

Please, beyond Osimhen's Twitter fingers, somebody should help us collect Maduka's phone in Cameroon, because man has decided he wants to be the latest Twitter pandemic


See picture wey una boy dey post, Twitter babes just dey toast am anyhow. And I was getting ready to pity him that he is being harassed.

i've said it times without number. That guy is not a keeper. He's too jittering in goal. I dont know they made him no 1. Akpeyi beta passam. He should go into fulltime modelling.

chrisooblog:
Yeah Nwakali should be the last person you bring on when your back's against the wall. Kelechi should be eased into a game when we are well untop or leading comfortably.

To be fair to Eguavoen the Egyptians were beginning to advance forward so maybe he thought Nwakali could provide a long ball to the forwards.

Long ball for me is not a particular outstanding skill if you even want to call it that

Go to Non league and you will find the game is played on long ball a lot of the time.

I am sorry anybody can do long ball, you are trying to rationalize the irrational. You have Iwobi and Onyeka on the bench and you bring in mediocrity. You know that anyone who plays in the EPL will have to have high stamina and a good work rate particularly in Everton and Brentford.

Abeg, na cruise I dey catch, I no come post here for Okoye slander.

Akpeyi no better pass am. Make nobody use us do Freekick taken quickly abeg.

forgiveness:
I think Moses wayward crosses has to do with his weak left foot. He might be better crosser with his strong right foot.

Is that acceptable ❓

This is the difference from playing in smaller club and league. Aina was able to take a shot from outside the box with his left foot. And he is right footed.

There is no excuse he needs to add to his skull set or he will not progress to a higher level.

Uganda played a one one draw with iceland. I dare say African football has improved.

ChrisKels:
Ivory Coast is looking like a really serious team with a good Midfield

Equatorial Guinea have failed to take their chances to be honest.

They've threatened Ivory Coast's backline more times than CIV have threatened theirs

See another better ball they just wasted. Egypt no see Okoye reach as Equatorial Guinea forwards don see CIV Keeper, so their midfield must not be as solid.

TheGoodJoe:

Rashford who is from a top English academy still makes the same mistake. I think we can excuse Simon. He had to make most of those decisions with his weaker foot. It is difficult.

You are supposed to be appraising a players Moses S. performance and his failings with wrong decision making and an inability to make a basic accurate cross.

And your response is, Rashord makes the same mistake ( that's not even true) Wow !!! Therefore according to your rational it's OK. Chei.

Meanwhile, Moses Simon via Twitter

I don laugh scatter this night.

Between Maduka's post and this Moses post, everywhere na comedy

forgiveness:
I don’t see him dropping Omeruo not to talk of Ekong for now.

Omeruo was too good yesterday. Hopefully, he is not injured.

However, Awaziem tested positive prior to the match.

In improving the team , my question is always not that Omeruo had a good game. Can anybody do better and carry the bar even higher❓

That's how teams improve.

mirinder:
stop the hype

on Ivory Coast? If you say so

Aina's shot was also off target, so you are just reinforcing forgiveness point

dozai:

No mind the ref

forgiveness:
Balogun is an upgrade though. We still need him.

I don’t know how good Ighalo is currently but if he moves to EPL and does well, na to come back be dat oooo.

One thing I am almost certain 100% Odion Ighalo is absolutely 200% better than Sadiq Umar, EOD.

Women no de calm down again, they've forgotten he's just 22yrs. One even said they should play a match with her being the goal keeper this time . Even we wey bin crush on that Swiss Falcon defender no mumu like this.

Beauty is actually an undeserved favor, makes you liked without any tangible reason. It makes people irrational and biased in your favour. Goes the other way as well, especially from people of the same gender.

Papi relax just pray we win this afcon
You see the likes of Eze, M. Olise, Tosin, Noni Madueke and other unknow innit boys and German kids will start longing to play for Nigeria and that will make the super eagles the beautiful bride they'll start toasting and God willing we qualify for the world cup as well....

Super Eagles will laugh last
Udogie is ours to take....

You talk from no idea what is happening behind the scenes.

And you make wild assumptions why they are not playing for the SE but in the negative.

You claim to be a pro in football but say things that are shocking.

Did you see Joe Hart give diagonal long balls in City? They were atrocious.

Did you see the long balls given by Ekong with with accuracy? Are you telling me all non league players can do that?

Sometimes you baffle me.

Did you watch Ramos long balls when he played for Madrid in the midfield under Ancelotti? They were so terrible Ancelotti raised his hands in disgust.

But here you are trying to sell it as normal.

Watch Laporte's debut and tell you non-league boys can pull it off.

Please it is not a long ball. It has a lot to do with watching out for spaces and the timing must be accurate. Not a long ball. It goes in a diagonal direction.

That Salisu is underrated seriously

I start to respect that man upon the way he handle his CHAN/WAFU Team the last time

He is a fine coach
Him and that Dr. Should be asked to manage the CHAN team

I have zero tolerance for corruption and he was caught red handed. He should have nothing to do with our Football.

Kog45:
Eguavoen has said it all but am surprised seeing some trying to defend Sadiq performance but it was obvious he didn't bring any synergy to the team....the same thing Ejuke who I rate highly nothing special about him against Egypt...Nwakili came in and his presence was not felt....Chuckwueze damn too poor and need to sit on the bench in the next game.

Kudos to Maduka,Aina,Omeruo,Sanusi and Ekong,they did well...Ndidi brought his A-game. for the first time in GWG..Aribo classic...Iheanacho proved once again that he is the best GWG finisher...Awoniyi did his job well,possibly we are not going to miss Osimehn much...Simon did well.

Eguavoen should maintain his XI with exception of Chuckwueze with Iwbi coming in,we need to see Olayinka even as a sub...it seems Onyeka is a direct replacement for Ndidi in case but I thought he should have come in as sub against Egypt.

Good game from eagles.

Nwakali had an immediate impact, he almost gave an assist and his passes were on point,the technical crew really tried,from team selection to the substitution everything was just on point.

Sometimes, it also makes people hate on you undeservedly.

People are biased against you just because they believe there has always been a favorable bias towards you.

Anyway, he should congrats on his beauty. He seems to be soaking in the attention sha, posting multiple times in a day for his teeming fans. He should enjoy while the going is good, hopefully, it remains so for the duration of the tournament
