Thank you oooo. AE did all he needed to do. We no go dey smash every team 4-0.

We dominated the game from start to finish.

ChrisKels:
At 27, Iwobi already has 81 caps for Nigeria. From the look of things, he can still give us another 6 solid years.

TheSuperNerd:
Bruno made 3 accurate crosses out of 10 crosses. That's 30% crossing accuracy. If it were Zaidu, I know what you all will say.
You can praise Bruno without badmouthing Zaidu who was a pillar in that Afcon campaign on the left flank especially from a defensive standpoint.

Clint02:
92% of our players would miss that goal Fisayo Dele-bashiru scored. If that ball had met another player,we would probably have seen the ball ballooned high above the stadium.

bros i can mention loads of game so many tacticians has handled in which their opponents played like Libya and with all his tactical acumen he still ended up winning 1-0 in dying minutes
the game we witnessed today would also be the same result any world class tactician will face if handling super eagles….oga all the libyan players literally camped in their half till that goal brought them out…even with their 10man mass immobile defense, we still split opened their defense and lost so many chances
1. chukwueze facing the keeper but fluffing his chance
2. Lookman disallowd goal and so many other darting runs into their box-18.
You cant win all matches with 4-0 scoreline, most especially against a team that remained immobile at the defense….Benin tried to come out at us in the previous game and collected 3-0.
games like this you should be giving kudos to the coach for finding a way to unlock their defense and finding back of the net
we have seen world class teams dominate from beginning to the end but end up drawing or winning with a slim marging
In 2014 world cup between Argentina and Iran…the Iranians literally locked up everywhere and built a castle at their defense, but it took the world class tweaking of their tactical and brilliance of Leo Messi to score a dye min 1-0 win.
THE SUPER EAGLES DID NOT STRUGGLE WITHOUT OSIMHEN, even lookman at some large portion was lost in the game…if osimhen were to be in this game, highest he will bring his ginger and fearful presence, but oga, na 1-0 we go still win if we will win…we did not struggle we dominated from start to finish

Mujtahida:
Defensively Zaidu was solid during the AFCON. Only flaw were his crosses. They were wack

Subzerooo:
Eguavoen should find a way of scoring goals and winning matches without Osimhen because crossing aimlessly won't cut, the Libyans were comfortable with us going to the wings and crossing because most times they are overhit and the few ones that land in the 6 yard box Boniface was not much of an aerial threat to trouble the Libyans

At Tripoli we will encounter the same situation that's when we'll know if Eguavoen is tactical enough to tweak his system and get the best out of Boniface

Subzerooo:
Na shiny toy syndrome dey make people mention Maduka's name with Nigeria's goalkeeping situation because we have witnessed him and what he can do and God forbid we go back to that

lexyman:
Nwabali excites a lot of people this evening with that delay tactics ... d same Nwabali that you almost broke his head ...when Nigeria drew . can we all learn to appreciate this guys for ones ?

humility33:
We scoring in the close of 80 mins by sub player doesn't obliterate the fact that the super eagles need a sound tactician

Look through the team whenever oshimen is not playing the super eagles struggles

Imagine a match with no oshimen and lookman the team will struggle more

We are looking at the need for AE to change tactics instead of bringing in crosses into the opponent 18 yard box in situations where they parked the Box why not encourage your players to shot from outside the 18yard box.

The fact that we won this match doesn't remove the fact that the scoreline wasn't impressive and we should have done better

So those advocating for a sound foreign tactician haven't done anything wrong

Mujtahida:
I hope it is as you posit but then a better midfield option may pop and Iwobi might find himself hugging the bench more like Iheanacho is doing now

7demons:
I will say this for those that need to hear:

ANY TEAM BUILDING THEIR ATTACKING LINE UP WITH IWOBI IS WASTING THEIR TIME.

solonnachi:
Guys please I want to ask who tipped that ball for Lookman for that disallowed goal? That was a measured classy tip

TheGoodJoe:
Watch the goal Iheanacho scored for Manchester City against Southampton at 1:00 of the video. Look also at Kelechi Nwakali's goal against Atletico Madrid. We need to work on shooting from outside the 18 yard box because more teams will play with low blocks against us.

When our tactics is not breaking down the opposition, we need to switch our tactics to shoot from range, which will also make the low block of the opposition to break.

Meliforme:
It was clear Eguavoen did not expect a low defensive block from the Libyans.
The 4231 setup left Boniface somewhat isolated and suspended among the sea of defenders, there were no space for him to do anything.
The setup also saw our wingers playing very close to the touchline isolating Boniface, early at the first half.
Off the ball our wingers played very close to the midfield, and weren't pressing the Libyans.
The setup also saw our wingers not attempting shots at goal because they played deeper.

While it is true that Eguavoen did not expect the Libyans to go ultra defensive. What happened to tweaking your tactics to commit more forwards closer to the 18 yard box.

Eguavoen is yet to impress me with his tactics. I pray that someday he will.

komekn:
No he will not.

You cannot compare KC to Iwobi in any shape or form lwobi has been consistently outstanding at Fulham.

One the other hand 👏🏿 KC had been consistently poor and mediocre he has had one good season in his entire football league career where he scored 12 goals in 2021 apart from that he never scored more than 5 league goals in 10 seasons of professional football in the EPL and Championship let's see 🙈 what he can do in La Liga.

He has been mediocre essentially for too long .

fun fact
since 2023 whenever osimhen is absent, midfielders and defenders come to the rescue
Nig 1 -1 Les(No Osimhen) goal by Semi Ajayi
Zim 1-1 Nig (No osimhen) goal by iheanacho
Nig 1-1 SA (No osimhen) goal by Bashiru
Ben 2-1 Nig (No Osimhen) goal by Onyedika
Nig 1-1 Libya(No osimhen) goal by Bashiru
Awoniyi, Boniface and other replacing strikers are coming to sell pure water on the pitch😀😂

85k is an overestimate. The average salary in Lagos is 60k p/m.

Mujtahida:
Iwobi used to score like that. I remember his goal against Zambia in Uyo

charlesemeka85:
🇳🇬 Atalanta manager Gasperini: “My personal Ballon d’Or vote would go to Ademola Lookman”.

“His magic skills helped us to win the Europa League”, told Sky.

ABOUT EGUAVOEN:
I'M STILL HOLDING MY OPTIONS. I WOULDN'T MIND TRADING HIM FOR A FOREIGN COACH.

You are hyping and using history to create a false narrative. In 2018/19 KC was so good he played in 30 , league games for Leicester and scored once in 2017/18 he played 21 games and scored 3 league goals he improved in 2019/20 and scored ,5 league goals from 20 games.

And then you mentioned Nwakali goal 🥅 in a friendly this is desperation to misinform.

When's it comes to shooting at distance none of these players should be in the conversation.

Barnsley have played 10 games and the midfield maestro technician Supremo Nwakali has made the bench once. He is yet to play one game.

And you are talking about him as a benchmark for top class shooting 😲😲😲
