Afcon Qualifiers

I prefer clinical football.

Not this one that worked out chances are wasted or gifted, lucky chances are throw away so carelessly. Both are problems in the Super Eagles for like 3years now.

I would be surprise if Equaveon play this! He will never play double DM!

I think he might play 442! Nacho/Boni just behind Osimhen with Ndidi-Iwobi's midfield!
Please ooh I hope this nacho... Is not ihenacho😒

Just imagine our World cup opponents at the ongoing AFCON qualifiers
Libya 1-1 RWANDA
Kenya0-0 ZIMBABWE
CAR 3-1 LESOTHO

and now ongoing SA 1-2 Uganda
i really blame super eagles and crew for allowing themselves in the mud against all this nonsense weak african nations…Nigeria really F**ked up at world cup qualifiers
When I Dey tell ppu say we can still qualify ..dem no believe

All we need is two things

1) make our players get sense and be committed

2) make dem employ me …finish…and we will qualify

Uganda from the few minutes I watched(30 minutes or so) didn't deserve a point imo

Just looking at this SA-Uganda result really saddens me. Nigeria had no business losing to Benin republic. Drawing with Lesotho and the likes.

Please, we need to retire this 442 setup. We don’t have the midfield profile to execute it properly.

3-5-2 is our best bet.

Midfield 3 of Onyeka-Onyedika-Iwobi. Far more balanced.

I will be surprised if gardiola sits Ndidi for Onyedika. I hope he gets it right cheesy

Better round off your coaching pursuit talks for Haram Coach Elyte89 before you resume your hate job on Tiki Taka. Lol

I still recall that stunt Rohr pulled by including Olise's name in the provisional squad for one of our games back then. It caused an uproar in the media. Lol

The irony is that we go still post more results like these. We are at a disadvantage because we are behind. Birds of same feather truly flock together.

Tomorrow game will be difficult! We will create a lot of chances taking them will be crucial.

Equaveon will play beautiful football, that I can assure you!
Damn beautiful football, what we want is a win. You know if Eguavoen doesn’t win tomorrow he’s going the way of Finidi even if he gives us sexy football and penetrating passes, nobody go hear story if he doesn’t win

It's not so much about Gaurdiola but the system. I harbor no ill feelings towards the man beyond the fact that he's responsible for this dead pan football.
I saw that video on X and it elicited different reactions. Some positive, some negative.

Maybe it has more to do with tactical set up, and coaching inconsistencies.

Moffi was quiet good at AFCON when he was granted the opportunity to play. Awoniyi was great at AFCON 2022 too. Even Jackson has no goals for Senegal. Playing on the continent as a striker is not easy.
Bro, truly it's not easy. See how Salah often struggles with Egypt. National team football is tougher than club football

Even though I wish for the same outcome..however it will brighten eguavoen chances of becoming d permanent coach and making ur job more difficult…wetin we go do now

And u knw majoribanks has predicted eguavoen clinching the job some months back 😥😥
😂😂😂 Ohhh God! This man. Well, Eguavoen has always been an interim coach. He's the John the Baptist that will pave the way for you. I can assure you.

Raphael Onyedika, Alhassan Yusuf and Alex lwobi, are my preferred midfield three.
This combination will win duels, dominate the midfield with passes and ball retention, progress the ball to the final third, and support the attack.

It will take a lot of nerves for any S.E coach to play those three.

when you become super eagles coach you can experiment with the trio

Things like that are done in friendlies. That is why I wonder what exactly our coaches are trying out in friendlies.
Secondly, our attacke needs ighalos finishing. On the average we create more chances than our opponent.
Even if you play defensive football you will loose if you don't convert your chances. Ighalo has the confidence to convert chances. These other strikers we have lack the confidence and experience to convert chances into goals.
He can come in I'm the last 30 minutes to convert our chances into goals.
It is not about competition. He does not always have to play but whenever we need to score he can come in and play.
Roger Milla played this role at italia 90. Experience counts in football

Yes, he can make something good with the current squad.

My main concern is how he intends to win with what he has.
Is Eguavoen really a tactician? Football played these days is more about tactics.

Is Eguavoen daring? Is Eguavoen willing to take risks and make a name for himself, or is playing safe his uttermost concern.

I hope Eguavoen has improved.
Haven't heard of him going for a refresher's course or anything like that in recent times.

I just hope he succeeds this time. I like his personality.

There is nothing wrong with 4-4-2, watch his team play afcon 2021, a 4-2-3-1 in possession & 4-4-2 without the ball with quick transition & directness exploiting the opponents zone 14. We were just unfortunate against Tunisia.
I'm OK with the 4-2-3-1 variation, but the flat out 4-4-2? No!!

Against Tunisia, he saw that our wings were clipped, so, he thought to tweak things by bringing Iwobi in to make things happen from the middle, too bad he was sent off just moments after coming on.

AE is definitely not to blame for that.

Where is the pun that you intended not to pun here?

The way that word is used is different from how I understand it. Elunico used it correctly when he said that Partey had a field day. Field is the pun here. But this your own, I no understand am. Enlighten me please.
Hehehe! grin grin
