Joezinho, how come when we used traditional wingers we had good crossers of the ball but this inverted wingers, I don't see it working for us. It's too cranky. That's why our wingers dribble more than crossing the ball

Before the howler wasn’t he the first choice ?

Howler or no howler Mendy was likely to bench him after that afcon

So it was 2020 in your village when Egypt hosted the afcon ba ?

I never knew Enugu was one year ahead of Lagos state grin

Lol the problem with you is comprehension. When was the howler and when did Mendy's major growth start?

Gomis's starting bet for Senegal was short lived because it started and ended in 2019 where he nailed his own coffin against Algeria. Prior and post 2019, Ndiaye and Mendy respectively manned the posts.

How has Nigeria players been playing at big European leagues prior to the likes of Egypt, Ghana Senegal, and ivory coast and couldn’t produce consistent world class global superstar as the aforementioned countries Omo, it’s painful! Our world class players like Finidi Kanu and okocha couldn’t achieve much individual success or weren’t consistent as the aforementioned players despite being equally as talented. I hope that, the likes Osimehn, Ndidi or any emerging talent could be consistent, or become a global at a big club like the types mane, Salah, Essien, Eto’o, Yaya or drogba.
I’ve always thought about this, what we have in Europe is quantity and not quality. When was the last time we have a key player for a big European club? Maybe Mikel and before then Kanu for Arsenal. At a point Cameroon had Njitap for Madrid/Chelsea, Lauren for Arsenal and Eto for Barca

I told them about our frying contingent and how they made us fail. Eguaveon is old school. Dribbling is not primarily part of the modern game. We failed because our players were showboating. This is why I find it hard to criticize Rohr.
This is an awful lie. Apart from Simon who dribbled(and his dribbles were apt, it was his crosses that were bad),who among our players did anything excessive?

Analyse football and stop lying abeg.

Mikel was a great squad player but wasn’t as essential as an Essien or Drogba or a Global superstar for whatever reasons. Personally, I believe that Okocha was more talented than Yaya Touré but he couldn’t achieve as much as yaya on an individual or collective level.

Yet we could blame Rohr for losing to CAR and CPV.
Rohr's was a case of a trend. I remember at the beginning when his losses started after we qualified for the WC, very few people criticized him. The criticisms only became stronger when it became a trend for us to lose. As in, in playing a match, we had no certainty in our minds that we were going to win. Eguavoen has restored that confidence. If beyond this loss, he belts out a spate of losses then he too will be scurrilously criticized.

I was a big fan of Rohr. It was after the World cup in Russia that I realized he was no good for us.

When I mean big club, I am referring to Famous well known Historical and present Big teams like Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, Liverpool, Man utd, Barcelona type. We would even accept the likes of Man city, psg, ATM. The likes of napoli and Leicester aren’t big clubs they’re Midtable teams that had a “season wonder”

Lloris because of his captaincy. Mendy is definitely good enough to be their main goalie presently.

Comprehension yen yen yen ,its now boring man .

The howler was 2019 ,mendy growth has already started at his early Rennes days which was before that afcon

I think it was injury that kept Mendy out of the starting line up self ,I just found out about this self ,so howler or no howler Mendy was likely to take over after the Afcon

How is 2023 in Enugu because they are 1 year ahead of Lagos grin

Moses started well but the hype enter him head and he started showboating. Yes you're right. Rohr won't permit such. That's why he barely use Ejuke and Onyekuru. But even at that he is a failure still because he lost it at the end point.

We lost because Eguavoen gave the players too much freedom to do their thing.
Yesterday Salah had one mazy run through Senegal's defense, was that showboating? In the game against Guinea Bissau, Moses had a run that resulted in the second goal. Is that what is called showboating? Perhaps I don't know what showboating is.

Do you know Denilson of Brazil?

In the match against Tunisia, did Moses showboat? He did not even have space. Let us analyze according to facts not according to the fancies of our imaginations.

Honestly, I am evaluating the quality of the Nigeria and Ghanaian squad and we’re obviously superior (1 v 1) whoever we hire must be terminated on the spot if we don’t qualify ahead of this present Ghanaian team. During the golden generation of Essien era, their squad was much superior to ours and they rightfully defeated us at important games. Now, it’s our turn to revenge. On paper, our team is much stronger but in football, anyone can win

You are being ASSUMPTIVE not SUBSTANSIVE.

Since you have carried out an evaluation l presume in depth , why not do a man to man assesment.

Yes oo, that's one player who used to showboat. I don't think any of our players did anything excessive to warrant the accusation that they were showboating. What Moses Simon was doing, Vic Mo used to do it. His dribbles were effective in that it destabilizes the opponent. Since Okocha retired I don't think we have had a showman.

What Moses Simon needs is to add crosses to his game so that when dribbling becomes difficult, cross!

I’m not just referring to mere playing but being a “consistent Global superstar” for example, According to Wikipedia, Oliseh only played 8 games and 1 season at Juventus and was done compare that to, Essien or yaya performance at Chelsea/man city. Amunike is considered as a “Joke signing” and being referred to in the Spanish media as “luis enrique tu padre es Amunike” (Luis Enrique your father is Amunike) Taribo had 1 great season at Inter Milan and was done compare that to Kuffour, (Bayern) Touré (Arsenal). The likes of fenerbache, sporting aren’t globally huge. Finidi was world class/essential at Ajax for 2 seasons and was done (he could had surpassed mane).

Agreed without question.

It baffles me how professional players cannot do simple accurate cross and these are wingers or wing backs.

Chukwueze, Zaidu, Simon, Ejuke are all poor at crossing the ball, the very basic requirement for the position they play.

Football is not just dribbling, skills and showboating.

I watched how many accurate crosses were thrown into the box by Senegal , if not for a very good Egyptian goalkeeper and last ditch defending. Senegal should really have won the game 3-0

S.E goal against Egypt was from a cross the Egyptians didn't clear properly.

Nacho crossed the ball to Umar for Umar's 1st goal..

Awoniyi's fluke goal was from a free kick cross..

Chuks goal was from a pass within the box which can also be called low cross..

S.E combined crossing , low pass, through pass , one twos e.t.c. to score all their goals..

So you guys should stop supporting someone's false opinion on the S.E..

Go and watch highlights of the S.E goals on y:outube..

They tell a lot of lies and propagate same. It is when you subject it to scrutiny that you'd find out that what they say is different from the reality.

Notwithstanding that we scored from crosses, the overall quality of our crosses were poor. They lack fluidity

Bro, 1 v 1 on current form, our bench is stronger than Ghana let alone our first 11. But, remember our team 1 v 1 was also much stronger than Tunisia and we still lost. The only reason I am advocating for Eguavoen to continue after that defeat vs a much weaker Tunisia is simply because of “inadequate time” aside of that, he should had been terminated. Do you know that, currently there’s a Nigerian listed among the top 5 scorers at Epl, Bundesliga and one listed as one of the best strikers in Seria A Football transcends individual names and one has to be humble.

Dem Dey leave better teams for Saudi and china who come be Porto ? But a Napoli player will easily take a pay cut to play for Barca and Madrid than doing that for a crystal palace
