If em easy to score wetin mk Ghana no score?

Uzoho

Meliforme:


I think the bottom line is that Nigeria failed to beat Ghana. The weakest Ghanaian team i have seen in a while. This Ghanaian team has a lot of weaknesses, but our coach can't see it to exploit.

Playing away in Africa is not always an easy task; be it likes of Sierra Leone, Malawi, Uganda etc.

Our boys coped very fine and were better coordinated than the Ghanaian team.

An away draw at this stage of the qualifiers is not a bad one.
No matter how you look at it, Nigeria has the advantage going into the second leg.

chuks404:
I don't understand all these noise. Playing Ghana whether shit or no shit team has never been easy. Even when we had our shitty team it was not easy for then also. These boys went to Ghana in front of their to pick a draw its commendable. I believe the coaches must have learnt and injury will force some tactical adjustment. Besides Ghana had very thing to prove , new coach factor and all that. We are picking these ticket.

We’re mad at our coaching crew because our team is much talented than these Ghanaians. This isn’t the Ghana team of essien, appiah

JohnBullMySon:
Really? Even the commentator hailed his interceptions at some point.

I wonder how we all watch the same game but return with widely varying opinions.

I doubt some people watched this match

Icon4s:
After all the talk about Bassey.
He was just running like a headless chicken.
He is no where close to Sanusi in terms of ability.

he is better as a CB


far better than Balogun

chuks404:
. baba are u going backwards?

Abeg are you going forward like this

JohnBullMySon:
Going by your statement, in November Ghana will be as good as Germany

You are suffering from new coach syndrome. In Abuja we see what he can put up.

we dont need to be as good as germany, in abuja u guys will be forced to open up and guess what ? It will leave a lots of spaces coz we have the better midfield. Shouldnt that scare u ?

JohnBullMySon:

I swear down bro

He stopped an attack from his position in two occasions immediately he was subbed in. He was solid moving forward and I must confess as a debutant he was solid

These 2 horrible teams will be eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup and I don’t care about the World Cup. My main goal is to beat Ghana. 2 bad teams

It would have been better foe these two teams to forfeit the world cup slot at stake and allow both Egypt and Senegal to represent Africa in their place

Sainty92:

Are u sure there is still away goal rule?

FIFA's Article 20. The away goals rule will be used as the first tie breaker if the teams draw on aggregate after extra time in the second leg of any two -legged WCQ.

UEFA suspended it for this year's Champions league.

Please if all AE has is wing football Pls bring back Rohr. I wish Ghana had Osimhen mtcheww Nigeria for chop am. Stupid wing football . Allow Aribo or any 10 playing person link with attack you say no.

he did wel as a lb, were you guys expecting him to be Roberto Carlos in his debut game?

The ones we opened in your house, what did you do with it?

leathalbeast:
we dont need a draw, a scoring draw is enough

This Ghana team is the worst team Ghana even had since 2006 till date

No hope for this team of qualifying for this year World cup tournament again.

Thank God 2026 world cup there will be expansion of teams Africa will be given more sloth so this Ghanaians team should start making preparation towards it but Qatar 2022 they should forget it

Now, I see why people guardiola toss iheanacho or doesn’t rate west African players. It isn’t racism at all at all.

I get u. But lucky enough we picked a draw and there is another chance. The best is to give support to the team. Truly I was disappointed in Eguavoen. He should at least change his tactics. But notwithstanding , the ending part of the game proved that he got it wrong with the personnel because we played better. He has learnt I believe.

13large:


You’re a bastaard ewu. What did your boyfriend iheanacho do today? He shouldn’t be on the first team ahead of any midfielders. A team need a dm, CM and AM to function properly and you shouldn’t compromise your midfield or defense

That's what I've been saying.

Where's semid4lyfe or any mod..

how i wish this mko stadium was in lagos..i seriously doubt the ginger of abuja boys,,kudos to the eagles that atmosphere was really hot..
they really gave it all on the pitch

you talk am finish!

Icon79:
Like I posted on Twitter, the Super Eagles would have won the game if the team that ended the game had started. That tells you how clueless Eguaveon is, he doesn’t even know his best team yet.

Egypt is also another Horrible team that will be eliminated at the group stage

Uzoho

uzoho made only one good safe same as their keeper when he denied Simon

charlesemeka85:

Did I say he didn't do well?

Semid4lyfe, where you dey? People don dey run mad for this thread, bring rope come tie them abeg, before dem enter market.

I don't get you people. Some of you here think club football and National team football are the same, so you think things that work in club football automatically work in national team football. The plan of the Ghanaian team was to apply maximum pressure in the first 20/30 minutes or so and perhaps get a goal. You can see they faded out through the last 15 minutes or so. Nigeria has not played Ghana in a long time, and nobody really knows the strategy of the other coach per sey. He assumes the other coach will feature something so he tries to plan for it, in which case in some cases you will plan and still lose. Is Eguaveon a mind reader to know what the other coach is thinking about his plan, and so does something else? If we had lost then perhaps this craze would be warranted. Now, if he cannot properly strategize, now that he has more information, tried different midfield systems, then well calling for his head would be the way to go.

By the way, some were going crazy here about the 4 2 4 formation. We will concede so many goals, we will concede goals. Although they dominated the midfield and stifled our midfield system at least for the first 30 minutes, they were toothless. Then he took Aribo out(even though i would have preferred that he kept him in, as we were doing well in the last 15 minutes, and Aribo was almost always in the thick of it, but i understand) to increase the numbers in the midfield, then the midfield looked much better.

You people should stop talking about draw in Abuja.. We will win there.. There is no way our forwards will have no answers over two legs. Tufiakwa, with Amuneke in the coaching crew?

charlesemeka85:

He made 2 fairly decent save today. Mind you, it was those fairly decent save that eliminated us

That's why I call the Ghana team a weak team. If they were strong, they would have punished us in the first half.

modified
Not strong, but if they were average, they should have made their midfield count. They had so much possession and with all the fans behind them.

I hope you realize that all it takes to defeat us in a 424 formation is to crowd your midfield and hope for a Fortuitous chance. Tunisia and CAR has already shown the blue print

That's what Ghana did today.
Will Eguavoen start the 2nd leg the same way? I DOUBT
