Ekambi is not a midfielder. Unnecessary panic mode again....pls relax..the SE is on track...

daveP:
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?

kingphilip:
I'll prefer CIV doesn't make it past this round so that they don't pick up form in subsequent stages.

Frankly don't see that happening.
This CIV has too many frailties.

The only reason I want them to progress is to boost the stadium attendance.

Goal paocher with just one goal

I don't know how to tell you guys this
During AFCON an unexpected player most times steal the show
Like Amunike in 1994
Osaze in 2004
Sunday Mba in 2013

You give all your players chance to prove themselves you never can tell who the lucky one is

I will remind you guys when Nigeria leaves the tournament

All una no na to dey wish bad bad because coach no use una tactics…why cant you remind us whem we get to semifinals or final…Ighalo wey be highest goal score in 2019..how many goals he score for group stage..no be only 1goal…was it not against cameroon in round 16 he picked form…make una calm down for osimhen abeg…he should not be benched abeg.
What will you guys say if they bench him and start whoever you guys wish and Nigeria lose..what will you guys say…las las all of ina go hide under(jpes is this jpes is that)

No jump na. Relazzz. Where is the panic in what i wrote now? Where did i write that he's one? 😕

Pick up form ke!! From where? Brother that team moral and mental state is abysmally very low now...the 4:0 CIV conceded at home will haunt them for a very long time. The players psychic is low.

not as if all our top 9 in super eagles from golden generation days to these present days have scored more than 2goals in group stage of Afcon abi were they not also seeing chances?...most of them started becoming beastly infront of goal in KO stages.

i will blame everyone one that also missed chances from match day 1 till date
Osimhen missed chances
Aina missed chances
Ziadu missed chances
Chukwueze missed chances
Osayi missed chances
Lookman missed chances
Simon Missed missed
if all these guys had scored una for no dey reason osimhen.
when you hear super eagles statpading teams its not don by a single player from golden generation till now, other guys in those days that saw chances utilized their chances.
Rohr for bench ighalo for 2019 after scoring just only one goal in group stage na😏

Let them gain form and help us to knock out Senegal in the 2nd round

If at all they keep winning, we will not play them till the semis if both teams continue to win. I will rather face that CIV team again than to face Senegal at any stage

Morrocco style of attack

Pick a wing, advance with wing overload and quick use of space
And
Waste it.

Zambia content with Counter.

My honest assessment of the team is we not yet at the level we have to be to win this tournament but they are not far off.

Goalkeeping position and defense have improved considerably from what the situation was pre-AFCON.

I don't know if Nwabali is the best we could have gotten to man the sticks but his performances have been satisfactory and should be the minimum required of any SE first choice goalie.

Aina and Bassey have brought the quality I thought they were capable of. Ekong's leadership and defensive awareness have rubbed off of who has been slightly more composed.

Midfield is still lacking that cutting edge pray the coach sorts it out soon cos we will be punished if we don't get it would right.

Attack has been heavily reliant on Osimhen who hasn't been at his sharpest. Other players need to step up in their goal scoring responsibilities. Victor can't do it would all on his own. Guys like KC, Moffi, Lookman, Chukwueze, Simon and Iwobi have to pitch in.

All said and done I'm optimistic the team will get better.

Side note North Africans have been bloody terrible at this AFCON 1 win out of 11 matches in total

Morocco wan kill Zambia

Losing 4-0 is almost unforgivable sha. Probably the worst beating any host country in AFCON history has collected.

BascoVanVeli:
They said even if they make it he won't be coaching

Michael Olise should be fast with his switch to algeria

Goke7:
Morocco wan kill Zambia

Boufal especially. Then the Two Hakimis anytime setpieces are up. And they are so dangerous with it. I still feel Zambia will equalize. But how did so much moroccans travel from home to here? See numbers!! They go pass 7k in this stadium tonight.

Bounedjah
My favourite player on that team

Also the officiating is having none of their usual tantrums.

exactly

The Ivorian fans have been booing the Zambian players, because a loss for Zambia will increase Cote D'Voire's chances of survival.

They are too strong for the Zambian side. As for their supporters the belief that they can win afcon after an impressive World Cup could be a motivation for the massive turn out

He's so annoying.

Zambia you can do this, come on

elyte89:
Once Dey make it…forget it,na semifinal or final, be deir bustop 😊

Naso una predict before tournament. You can't give what you don't have.

I like what Zambia is playing now but they need to go for the kill

CIV fans are keenly watching this Morocco/Zambia match. They will be at the edge of their seats sweating and urging Morocco on.

Yes one goal in three games so how bad is that? And mind you, he has been involved one way or another in all the team's goals.

This is a tournament where, you just don't count goals alone. How many goals did Ideye score at AFCON 2013 before becoming one of the best players?

You don't manage a football team based on emotions

Bro form is temporary but class is permanent if you don't know. This is the knockout stages, a dangerman upfront is an advantage.

What should be saying is pair Osimhen or slot in another during the second half.
