Paseiro said our players were nervous hence lost possession.

I think I will have to agree with him. They were overwhelmed by the occasion.

I disagree though I think we were outmanned in the midfield and therefore outmuscled completely hence the one way traffic. Yes am no coach but I think we should have played started Onyeka, Yusuf and Iwobi together. That extra body in MF would have at least made it harder for the Ivorians. The pressure on the defense was relentless.

When you have 11 players and you are playing like 9 against 11 then the pressures would make the players to be nervous,starting Iwobi and Chuckwueze gave CIV the confident to take ball to us

How can players who have played in massive stadiums in Europe be nervous, which kind talk be that. Players who have played in wembley, Bernabeu, nou camp, San Siro, what can be more overwhelming than such atmospheres, make Paseiro talk something else jor.

If he says Fatigue, I can understand

I'll say Ivory Coast lifting the cup is all down to fate.

If u follow their progression from the group stages and how they keep coming back from the dead- first, against Senegal and most importantly, against Mali- it is as if they were destined too win it.

Some things are just written in the stars.

When their coach talked about being on a team that lost to Nigeria in the group stage but won in the finals, I have started having the feeling that fate is at work.

I think it showed somehow because they kept loosing the ball.

However, the moment we scored first, I expected the coach to remove Chucks and Iwobi and bring Yusuf and Simon to see how we can stabilize the team.

We could bring in Onyedika for Zaidu to change formation to 4-3-3 when attacking, 4-5-1 when defending.

This formation could had neutralized the wings and stabilized the midfield. Then use counterattack to finish then as they get frustrated while searching for equalizer.

Not all. Some were actually loosing ball and gave misplaced passes.

The problem with the sitting back formation is that its nice when u aren't conceding but if u eventually concede your defenders becomes complecent and if the worst happens of them conceding a second goal, then thats the end coz sitting back teams most often has no plan B.

there were tired legs in that game yesterday one analyst I listened to on Saturday said most of our starting 11 have played far more minutes than the Ivorians who perhaps did more rotation than us. Those can be minor differences from what we saw yesterday. Players like Bassey, Ajayi, and Aina played through the entire duration of all our matches.

Perhaps, you might be right.

Paseiro reminds me of Rohr. They have same thing in common in that they don't like substituting trusted players.

I’d it true they didn’t allow Nigerian fans get into the stadium
Heard Nigerians weren’t even up to 1000 and a number were outside

What I heard was they hiked the price for Nigerians while it was cheap for Ivorian citizens

a supersport studio analyst complained of this after our match against Angola and that the coach should have quickly brought out our tired legs in that game to rotate our players better. Many people here I remembered said the same thing, we surely paid for this in the long run

Haller and Adingra starting tomorrow will be a game changer of we're not careful. All those long balls Krasso was wasting will be well utilized by Haller.

We will need Simon tomorrow to help with Adingra otherwise I would have opined Moffi or Nacho should start alongside Osimhen.

We are a wicked, bitter, toxic people. We usually use comedy and jokes to cover up the darkness in our hearts.

Go online, read Nigerians, you'd be shocked at the vitriol. Go online read Americans or Brits even when they are opposed to each other, you'd hardly see them curse and utter foul words to each other.

Truer words have never been spoken @bold.

Terem was not given any opportunity to show what he can do , he should be aggrieved. We had the opportunity to go 4-4-2 with VO and Moffi, but we opted for a negative defensive posture.

Aribo not really sure what he is midfielder or winger or what in the team ❓

Zaidu runs and has a natural left foot, what else ❓ He has zero end product and lack composure. I know the dogs abuse I got when I said he was poor. I said that about 3 years ago.

Onyedika is a very big strong and powerful brick 🧱 wall very immobile can he open up defences with clever passing and 1V1 dominance,a big NO.

It seems Onyemaechi was there for decoration, the same goes for Awaziem, Musa ( motivational speaker)
Omeruo old time sake, KC was never match fit for a
gruelling AFCON and had not been in form for ages.

Onuachu is an appendage it seems or a big tree 🌴 to lump the ball to when VO is exhausted. That's not very positive.

Alhassan is that player who does everything but is not good at anything. He huffs and he puffs but never blows the house 🏠 down. Very limited creativity, no physicality, nothing outstanding. That in itself is the problem, we need invention, creativity, and dominance. Alhassan promises but cannot deliver.

So what do we do ❓

We have to get quality players start early engage communicate and relate well before they BLOW 🌬️

I laugh so hard reading this

I think I agree with almost everything you said

I will not argue this matter further

Christian Nwoke makes school boy errors and please don't ask me to bring videos to you. Use your data and watch sporting Lagos Highlights abeg

I hope all of them are happy now.

The ones that are looking for midfielders to join the team, will show us which quality midfielder in his right senses will pledge allegiance to Nigeria after they have finished trolling Iwobi.

Wicked, spineless, useless bunch of animals that have nothing going for them.

Instead of them to use this vim and chase out that failure in Aso Rock that appointed an idiot that has overseen woeful power failure, they are going to bully a young man that just wants to play footy and vibe.

I have never seen a more cowardly group of idiots in my life. They never have all this anger for their leaders, it is disgusting

Samuel Chukweze and Alex iwobi were absent in that match yesterday . Super eagles have reached the afcon finals 8 times and have won 3 time . We should start taking finals serious once we get there I just checked ivory coast record they have gotten to afcon finals 4 times and it 3 times . May fear is that they should not over take us in the afcon trophy cabinet. Ghana have 4 - Nigeria -3 , Ivory coast - 3 trophy in the cabinet now

They are mad ni. If they can just channel their anger towards the current situation of the country, we will achieve something. To think most of these guys might have been showing up because of the fans to represent Nigeria despite the inhumane treatment they are always subjected to.
