Experience in tougher leagues.

Arguably one of the best.

komekn:


He has been in Europe since 2018 playing football ⚽ after leaving Kano, he is supposedly 23.

What more experience does he need please.

Is the the best and or most outstanding midfield player in Royal Antwerp ❓

He is not even as good as Etebo who I felt in the last world cup was excellent. Not sure what's happening with Etebo and why he is forgotten.⁉️

At this stage, I have to give a big shout-out to Marjoribanks. He's one of the few here who voiced his relentless and persistent support for the Super Eagles before the Afcon.

I may not like some of his opinions, especially when it comes to Nwakali, but his unceasing attitude didn't go unnoticed.

I hope Musa makes a cameo appearance tomorrow. He should be the one lifting the trophy, like Yobo did in 2013.

Much ado about nothing.

In a 25 man team for a tourney, how many end up playing? May be 19 or 20. At least 5 will never play. You think teams are formed on the pitch only?

What if injury or lack of form hits the starters?

He was supposed to be fresh and fully concentrated on the game at hand .

For me he huffs and he puffs but he can never blow the house 🏡 down.

He runs around lots of energy for a limited period he gases in it quickly. But zero physicality,no outstanding skill and or technicality and not great football ⚽ intelligence.

He came on and he made things worse.

I'm quite ignorant about this, so I'd like to ask those who may know. When we win tomorrow's final, who's going to raise the trophy? Troost Ekong, our on field captain or Ahmed Musa, our captain? Cause i really would love Ekong to lift it, for so many reasons.

The team captain would lift it. Although them fit arrange to lift it together as Bruno and Maguire did last year.

1. The pressure is on CIV as they're the host.

2. We have beaten them in the group stage so we might have a very slight psychological edge.

3. We have the better and maybe a complete team.

Tomorrow any team can win. But when it comes to this question you need to be objective. Look at it both ways.

Modified
If Nigeria were in their shoes. Having lost the first game by a slim margin, in front of our fans and have had a fairytale run so far with revenge now in our minds. Will we really be under pressure?

Nathan Tella with an assist to give Bayer Leverkusen a 2-0 lead vs Bayern Munich in a top of the table super clash in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen remains unbeaten. Massive.

Yes, fear of not losing the the second time in less than 4 weeks in front of home crowd.

For a striker to have that many highlights it tells the story he was a manace in the game. Some strikers go through an entire game without a single shoot on target and maybe something like 5 touchés the entire match. Someone like Halaand in cagey games, if he doesn't score sits on this table.
No wahala. Make we win tomorrow

I'm not in CIV but Nigerians have concluded that they have already won it. I don't know whether we can sense it but there's this certainty that we have won it.

I hope the players are not thinking this way. Because what we really need now is some big motivational talk.

I excuse ladies for being overly emotional. However men need to apply a great deal of logic.

I want us to win tomorrow. In fact I’m praying for it. But I will always be objective, because God is also an Ivorian lol

What exactly are you saying? I gave you my opinions and why I feel CIV will be under pressure. Wetin bring emotion and ladies talk?
Whether we're in their shoes or in their boxers, the scenarios are still the same. Nigeria would never want to lose twice to a team in a single tourney.

Thats the point. Our players need all the motivation like they never met CIV before. A team that lost scandalously to EG 4-0. Chamged rheir coach and have managed to pull through to the finals in front of their home fans each game, have only one thing in their minds which is revenge. They are not under pressure to win the trophy because all hope seemed lost at a point. They are determined to beat us, and if they do, the trophy will just be an icing on the cake.

I repeat, what we need right now is the right minds around the players talking the right talk, not politicians which could be counter productive .
