You sabi book..
We go make you labour prefect..

Let Rohr qualify them with a game to spare

BankyGee:
Victor Osimhen dey ALWAYS turn up for club and country! Scored in his FOURTH consecutive match!

SIX goals in FOUR games for the King himself 🦁👑🇳🇬🦅

When I say MONSTER, you say MACHINE...

Oya, let's go!!

MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goke7:
The thing tire me, it’s not been this bad in a while and we’ve got another match in few days

We will see better from them in Uyo. I guess it is fatigue

Rwanda have all to play for though

🔥🔥🔥

Subzerooo:
One thing to note : Ekong struggles in a back 2

Everyone was off color today
Don't judge our team by today's performance..
We were atrocious

Goke7:
The way this man shame his critics needs to be studied. He delivers and they all keep quiet or run away 😂

Them go come back when he goes 2-3 games without scoring
Them go begin count him offsides
🤣🤣

joelsteron:
AE still not convincing enough with his
1. Tactics
2. Player selections, only to gets it right in 2nd halfs.
3. Iwobi can't start my middle, if all he offers is penetration passes. Please do away with 2 man midfielder regardless.
4. Onyedika is not a bench warmer
5. Eagles weakness is set piece, Rohr that quite well.
6. Lookman and Simon are starters for me if Chukwueze is not serious yet.
God bless Nigeria

Massive take .
You Sabi

lbrichman2:
Firstly, I think the news that we had already qualified removed the urgency in our boys
They knew they didn't have to exert themselves too much..

Secondly, our setup in the first half was wrong
If we played a balanced midfield in the first half, we would have scored
Thirdly, our boys were too cautious. They were obviously trying to avoid injuries
Looks like Aina took a knock
I hope it's not too serious..

Now we can rest our first team, and play the other guys against Rwanda..

Job done!
Now we focus on getting to the world cup

spot on!🔥🙌🏻

when re we playing Rwanda

charlesemeka85:
when re we playing Rwanda

Monday

After watching several eagles matches,I've come to a conclusion that we have a number of conundrums that we need to figure the best ways to go around them

1 - Ekong is better in a back 3 than a 2 but in a back three, we lose the midfield battle cos iwobi will be one of the two midfielder and he doesn't offer the defensive support while also killing his creativity by overworking him.
2 - iwobi is either played in a 5 man midfield or moved to the wing. If we push him to the wing on the right,then one of Moses or lookman has to bench.
3 - lookman is better as an inside forward on the left rather than a winger. If we put him there,what happens to Moses who is almost better as a winger on the left and delivers crosses that leads to goals.

I just dey wonder if we no get Osimhen for this country.

The thing cross my mind, I no go lie

I watched the entire 90 mins of this game and that easily qualifies for a top 2 worst Super Eagles performance in living memory. Please don't let the fact it ended in a draw deceive you. Benin really were the better side and should have won convincingly. It was so glaringly obvious who the better managed team was.

Who to blame?

Eguavoen has had several auditions and has serially proven not to be cut out for it at this level. Iwobi and Ndidi in a 2 man midfield? Starting with 3 centre backs but with no idea how to progress the ball through the lines? Not a single attempt at creating overloads on the Beninoise full backs, they did that to ours several times? Really really poor.

Iheanacho is finished at the top level. After he inevitably gets offloaded by Sevilla he will disappear into the ether. I don't see how he gets interest from a top flight team in any big league.

Bassey cannot be a guaranteed starter. He's all brawn no brains, very aggressive but no real physical qualities to talk about, not fast can jump ...simply not good enough to be starting every game. He's still young so might improve with time.

Iwobi also cannot be a guaranteed starter. We've seen his performance ceiling, it isn't very high and he hardly ever brings it to the party anyway.

Gabriel Osho was very very poor. I think it was a good idea to see him in this sort of game and the nerves of making his debut might have got to him. Maybe he gets one more chance. We need to try out a few more players here so his invitation was welcome.

Osimhen needs 5/6 clear cut chances to convert 1. His finishing for club and country are not worth the hype he gets. The best part of his game is his hard work, physicality and athleticism but against strong, athletic African strikers they don't leave him with any change. Remove the 7 goals he scored against Sao Tome and penalties against the likes of Sierra Leone and you'll see where his real stats should be. We still need him for his hard work but we need to remeasure our expectations. His goal today was his first for Nigeria since the AFCON opener against Equatorial Guinea in January.

Tired of writing....




NB: I missed the goal he scored Vs Benin in Uyo but still my point stands. His goal return rate is not good enough.

Starboytwo:

Minus his goals I don't think we even qualify for the last Afcon or this one, that's why I'm baffled by members of this thread who bad mouth Osimhen, he's SE and SE is him?!

Na Libya dem de play next

The two of them go lie down well well

We can’t lose at home o, kpatakpata we do another draw soup. Make them warn the boys o before the foreign coach gang go up their agenda. Nff needs to talk to the boys, whoever is tired shouldn’t play and let those who are more willing play the game
