It's based on stats

CIV are the home team and are a good team too

GUinea Bissau would most likely come out guns blazing knowing they have beaten us before

The most we can get from both matches is a draw

Even today, if Jay Jay enter pitch my guy will still be giving those killer passes like he never left.
These crop of players should be watching matches of the legends what made SE great. Aghahowa nightmare of defenders( scoringin crucial matches), a rugged and pacy number 9 that never misses any opportunity.
How many AFCON this legends win?

Yesterday,

I blame iwobi (he lost the ball that resulted to their goal and was not creative at all)

Zaidu Sanusi (missed chances)

Osihmen (bro you no do well, see the second goal for the mozambicans na, same thing)

Moses Simon was short one

Lookman was our other creative bit aside al Hassan youssuf

They might not win but you'll surely see them in the Finals or 3rd place winner. Go check the stats, from year 2000 till date. Only the last AFCON we failed to make quarter finals.

That CIV game is a 50/50 chances. It's a tough match. Final of Finals cheesy
Just like Ghana vs a Egypt will send either one of them packing.

All I can say is that whatever becomes of us in this tournament, Peseiro definitely has to go after our fate is decided in this tournament and I hope NFF are already lining up a competent manager (whether he's local or not) to fully take over and start bedding in his philosophy, there are some new players that are overdue for a call up, and then there are some players on this team who should have been phased out 2-3 years ago. I'm sorry but players like Simon Moses, Omeruo, Ekong, Ajayi, MUSA, Aribo and even Chukwueze need to be phased out...the likes of Aribo and Chukwueze should be walking on thin ice if they fail to improve their football situations.

The new coach has to build more around the MIDFIELD, players like Al-Hassan, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Onyedika, Folrunsho, Daga, Tochukwu Nnadi, Eletu, Akinsanmiro etc need to be integrated NOW- Iwobi and Ndidi are enough to provide the leadership to the aforementioned younger generation of players. Then in defence Igoh Ogbu has to be called up alongside Tosin Adabarabioyo and Gabriel Osho of Luton town.

Attack we should keep only Nathan Tella, Gift Orban/Akor Adam's, Boniface, Lookman, Iheanacho (for experience), Moffi and the oga himself Osimhen...the likes of Sadiq, Onuachu, Simon Moses add absolutely to the team except taking up space.

Imagine a Nigerian starting XI like this POST AFCON under a new coach:

Nwabili

Osayi-Samuel
Igoh Ogbu
Tosin (Bassey)
Ola Aina

Ndidi OR Yusuf- Onyeka on the bench
Iwobi OR Dele Bashiru
Onyedika OR Folorunsho

Nathan Tella
Lookman
Osimhen/Boniface

Players that should be on probation POST AFCON:

Chukwueze

Aribo

If you watch the recap of that match with less tension, you'll understand we have the most useless left back in this tournament, both the one that played through the game and the subie who came in for him.
People who saying Iwobi was missing in the game should re-think; he made crucial passes but our forwards couldn't utilized those opportunities on counters.
So far(with the matches already played) the SE has the best defense splitting, attack minded players. Equatorial Guinea were lucky to have escaped the defeat. Kudos to our wasteful strikers.
Iwobi, Lookman, Alhassan, Aina were our outstanding players.
I watched the recap and impressed with Alhassan who reminded me of Onazi,Ola Aina had a good game with three crosses to Osimhen,Lookman for the first time played his heart out and his assist was well taken,Iwobi was cool.....Ekong and Ajayi need to raise their game though EQG had just a shot at goal....Sanusi was awful,Onyeka was either here or there.....Osimhen was wasteful....Simon need to rest...Nwabali was well composed.

On reflection looking back at yesterday's game I was a bit too harsh on Iwobi. Had Osimhen or Zaidu had their shooting boots on we would probably be talking about the game being one of Alex's best ever.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by chrisooblog: 12:08pm On Jan 15
Watching Nwabili yesterday almost made me swear for whoever made us put up with Uzoho for years.

Sey na composure, confident handling, dangerous long balls or anticipation? His shot stopping I'm sure will be above average. Could be maning the sticks for a while if he stays consistent.

Jpes need to go find good luck color wey him go dey wear during matches. The man and good luck dey repel each other. How on earth did Osimhen miss that chance. Who moved the post to that side he kicked the ball. It's not like he made a mistake. He dropped his shoulders to place the ball to that place. No be juju be that?? Zaidu face GK come begin pass. The same with Aina. I just couldn't comprehend what went wrong in that game. Could it be that humidity and heat fried their brains that they weren't cordinated?? I think those players should be interviewed.

It's simple to know a good keeper and Nwabali in goalpost showed that he is better than Uzoho but I want to tell you that Christian Nwoke would have been number one in this Afcon if given chance.I rate him than Nwabali but good to have Nwabali.

I like when we speak truth
I know we generally don't like jpes and want him out, but yesterday he did his job with what he had available
If we only converted our chances

I know we're not favourites against CIV, but personally I don't think we will lose

We're all here praising Al-hassan, nobody is talking about the delayed pass he failed to give Iwobi to sloth on time before the EQG play took the ball off his feet in the 18yrd box.
He caused us one or two chances; the first he played a direct ball to the keeper, the 2nd he refused to release the ball on time to Iwobi. He should be smarter cos the game against CIV will be decided in the midfield against who has the best defense and the best keeper. Expect lots of shots at goal and build up from the middle.
After Iheancho, Iwobi is the next clinical player in the SE. He should be played up front close to the attackers not as a deep lying midfielder( that job should be left for onyeka)
Iwobi never loses such opportunities in the final third. Remember the AFCON game 2019 with Cameroun and his connection with Ighalo that earned us a spectacular goal.

Hopefully against Ivory coast Osimhen gets those chances behind the defence and puts one or two away. I would love to see Bassey bench Sanusi and chukweze starting ahead of Moses Simon..

This is the consistent top performance in top 5 leagues team that Ghana taught a lesson.
Goalkeepers: Marcio Rosa (Anadia), Dylan Silva (Sintrense), Vozinha (Trencin)

Defenders: Joao Correia (Chaves), Logan Costa (Toulouse), Diney (Al Bataeh), Roberto Lopes (Shamrock Rovers), Steven Moreira (Columbus Crew), Stopira (Boavista da Praia), Dylan Tavares (Bastia)

Midfielders: Patrick Andrade (Qarabag), Cuca (Uniao Leiria), Deroy Duarte (Fortuna Sittard), Laros Duarte (FC Groningen), Joao Paulo (Sheriff Tiraspol), Kevin Pina (FK Krasnodar), Jamiro Monteiro (San Jose Earthquakes), Kenny Rocha (AEZ Zakakiou)

Forwards: Bebe (Rayo Vallecano), Djaniny (Al Fateh), Ryan Mendes (Karagumruk), Garry Rodrigues (Ankaragucu), Jovane (Salernitana), Willy Semedo (Omonia Nicosia), Bryan Teixeira (Sturm Graz), Helio Varela (Portimonense)
How can someone so poor in quality that he is earning £1800 in lowly Chaves be in this tournament??

Peseiro should just start Osayi on the right and Aina on the left or Start Aina on the right and Bruno on the left,Sanusi yes a Porto player but lacks the modern day left back style,too rigid....pls is there any difference between Chukwueze and Simon.
