Yeah he can disorganised the defence so that the other forwards and midfielders can score. He destroys the centre backs. A bit like firming even though he cannot play midfield.
Also he will be a good wide forward. He is even better than most of our wingers as a wide forward.
Very good player.
He needs to start scoring though

yinkeys:
Can’t we play 3 - 5 - 2
Moffi & Ademola up front
Iheanacho just right behind them like Jude Bellingham position in Real Madrid
To unleash Lookman fully he needs to be closer to goal not wide the flanks

Osimhen go dey bench??

If Rigobert Song use the defensive setup we used vs CIV to play us, do we have the grits to crack it down? This KO stage, we will need OTHER attacking threats asides VO to prosecute reaching the final, in game.

What's the midfield setup that will neutralize Ekambi and Anguissa?

Truidstarr:

Guirassy just weak me for this tournament

As in eh..
The way people write off players on this platform baffles me.

I see people clamoring for Musa to be included in the starting 11; same Musa that was bashed by the same people.

Emotions and bias getting the better of us in accessing players.

Yea for 1 hour
Boy aint effective
We have to try others to see what they can offer
Moffi hasn’t even been tried in this tournament
How’d anybody know Equitorial Guinea striker would be Afcon top scorer at the moment. Someone who plays as right back in lower tier division
Moffi should be given his chance
The match be like extra time thing

nwakali has nothing to do with haram football but he is so good and expensive that clubs can’t even afford him

Hope u will be streaming Chaves games in portuguese 2nd tier next season 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The way some of you think ehn... Dude should be given a chance. We've seen a lot of players plying their trade in unknown clubs but are stars in this tournament. Nsue and a number of Cape Verde players for example

No vex abeg, which boy?

Ghana finally has a representative in the Round of 16 🥳🥳🥳

BannedX Oshoala dey gimme joy abeg 😂🔥😂

Na here I dey o 😂

My sister it’s pathetic. It just seemed like we were jinxed losing Awoniyi, Boniface, and the Jpes preferred Sadiq. The only man standing who is a top man for that matter keeps missing chances that he would have characteristically buried. Its so painful coming from the reigning APOTY.

I’ve kept hoping our attack will start to click, but it’s been the same match after match. Let’s not take it away from them. Lookman and Osimhen have really worked their socks off in this tourney but their primary job is to deliver the goods in front of goal. Expected so much from both

safarigirl:


Same to you Joe.

The numbers are disheartening. How do we have 3 goals from 13 big chances? And one of those goals is even an own goal, so, technically, it's really just 2. 1 from open play and 1 penalty.

It is disgraceful.

Creating is not our problem now, it is converting, which is hilarious considering the pedigree of our forwards. We have two front men that were Top Scorers in Serie A last season, how are we so poor in front of goal?

Make una no dey drag Ghana abeg.

You keep saying Try, try, try have you forgotten this is the knockout stage? My brother football no day like dat

Happy that we can all see that it is our players that have refused to deliver.
Also shows that we have been creating lots of chances but not converting them.
Initially people blamed the coach and even insulted him. I always said that they lacked spine but I was proven wrong against the CIV. Play with that type of mindset and anyone can be beaten.
No one should insult the coach because he has done his job. We need to tell the players to do theirs.
Come go think of it, we have 7 points and we are complaining.
What do we want exactly?

akwesenana:
No mind am, Guirassy with him 16 million goals for Stuggart no even get any influence (shot, passes, whatever) against Senegal.

Make una Dey calm down. Guinea is not super eagles and Guirassy doesn’t play for us. So whatever happens with them is none of our business. Our business is with the super eagles and our players.

Osimhen can’t be misfiring in a competitive game like this (where all chances count) and expect us to all shield him from criticism. We were lucky neither Guinea Bissau nor Ivory Coast didn’t score before us. What do you think would have happened if they did?

What do you think will happen in the knock out stage if our opponents score first and our striker keeps missing chances? Of course, we are on our way out.

We hope Osimhen find his scoring boot in this next round because we really need it.

Besides, Guirassy has only played 63 minutes in this tournament because he’s still recovering from an injury. His first game happened to be against the defending champion. Abegi.

Philosopher1979:


Yeah he can disorganised the defence so that the other forwards and midfielders can score. He destroys the centre backs. A bit like firming even though he cannot play midfield.

Very good player.
He needs to start scoring though

We need his goals more than anything because it’s obvious that our attacking tactics revolve around “all ball to Osimhen.” Unless that changes in the next round, his goals are more important just as these things are important.

Odunayaw:
Guirassy just weak me for this tournament

Guirassy has only played 63 minutes (which was their last match against Senegal) because he has an injury he still recovering from. You expected him to score 7 goals (with injury) against the defending champions within 63 minutes?

MetalJigsaw:
Osimhen go dey bench??

All these Osimhen to the bench no too gbam in my opinion. I doubt Onachu and Moffi can hustle the way Osimhen does upfront (I may be wrong though). Like many people have suggested here, we need someone playing very close to him because other attackers seem to drift away from him since they all expect the final ball to be to him.

The main koko is that he needs to start scoring the chances he gets.

Tolulopefinest:
I've watched almost all the AFCON MATCHES.

What I noticed is that NIGERIA MATCHES ARE ALWAYS BORING.

I dropped my phone at a point when watching yesterday.

Unlike today's matches (Gambia Vs Cameroon, Algeria Vs Mauritania) that are super interesting.

You probably don't care about the team's progress

minfelix:
For CIV to remain @Afcon
Mor vs Zam(Zambia must lose) no draw
Tunisia vs SA(Tunisia must lose)
Mal vs Nam(Namibia must lose) no draw

haaa

owbabs:
Four more games to go.

Nigeria vs Cameroon
Nigeria vs Angola
Nigeria vs Cape Verde
Nigeria vs Senegal

Una wey dey predict senegal for final make una no go bet o

You're the one doing the talking and answering.

He didn't do well in these 63mins anyway

The same thing that happened against Equitorial Guinea

BankyGee:

Till today, I'm still yet to understand that statement, I just chose to ignore. Some comments on this thread can turn you to a mad person if you read them more than once. Just miaaah when you see them.

The thing tire me

TheLoneCitizen:


"struggling for relevance, underperforming for the past two seasons" Iheanacho for Nigeria in last 7 months:

vs Sierra Leone ⚽
vs Sao Tome 🅰️
vs Saudi Arabia ⚽
vs Lesotho 🅰️
vs Zimbabwe ⚽

He started only twice, scored or assisted in every appearance.

. By application of komkn's theory of "here and now", kelechi iheanacho is super eagles best player currently 😇

He was simply unlucky! No Ndidi and Iwobi both legs!
Bonke got injured in Ghana. Onyeka the best player in that Abuja first half got injured did not play the entire 2nd half. He had 4 top midfielders injured, yet did not lose on both legs. No coach would have done better.
Keshi was the lucky one. It was Mikel, Onazi, Emenike, Enyeama and Vicmo that carried that team. At the 2014 World Cup he lost just Onazi and everything fell apart. Give Equaveon is credit!

safarigirl:


Unlucky against Ghana?

I swear to you, in the second leg against Ghana he was not unlucky, he was gullible.

He started a team that I can say anywhere he got from Twitter. As in, it was Twitter that told him his starting XI, because prior to the game, multiple people posted that starting XI based on vibes. Played Dennis to start against Ghana, Dennis wey dey use swag play ball.

Kelechi was possibly his most threatening player in the first leg, and how did he repay him? He dropped him, and then did not even sub him on at any point. How can you need a goal and you fail to sub your most threatening player from the last match?

Luck was not why he failed to win against Ghana, no, he just lost the plot. He allowed external forces (Twitter boys that have never coached a professional team in their lives), to determine his first XI, and didn't know how to use his substitutes.

This is why Keshi was greater than his peers. Man knew what the heck he was doing and never allowed social media noisemakers influence him. He threw in Oboabon, Uzoenyi and Mba into his team despite the backlash and they made magic. You cannot bow to social media as a football coach. You must stick to your guns and Eguaveon failed on that front.
