PurpleHouse: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 |

andrewbaba44: 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. You wan make I explain am to you like you still in kindergarten? |

13large: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 1 Like |

jihday: 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. 2 Likes |

Joezinho: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. 1 Like 1 Share |

ChrisKels: 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 1 Like |

PurpleHouse: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. 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: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! |

charlesemeka85: 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). 1 Like |

PurpleHouse: 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 |

komekn: 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. |
