Una too dey analyse things
Just wait for the match and watch
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't win anyway
I'm not the one going to play in Bloemfontein. I'm just a fan sitting in my house. The only thing I can do is analyze and hope. What's wrong with that?

Sometimes I don't understand the way some of una dey think.

Lol. I'm not even saying it with hopes that Nigeria will qualify. FIFA can deduct the points and we'll still flop out. But that is on the players and the coach. So I'm not even talking on the basis of hopium.

FIFA will deduct the points, I'm 1000% certain. It's only a matter of when. Historical antecedents support this as a fact.

The qualifiers have to end patapata first. But I'm telling you, those points will be deducted.
100% agree with this

South Africa is sailing and scoring goals for fun.

SA - 16 points with +8 GD.
Nigeria - 10 points with +2 GD.

Remove 3 points and 3 goals and SA will still be on 13 points with +5GD.

There's no other option. We have to beat SA handsomely on Tuesday, win our remaining matches and also hope SA looses somewhere down the road.

Its an uphill task but its possible, and I choose to believe till the end.

Na Peseiro and Finidi put us for this gbege.
You would have to remove 5 goals from South Africa.

Nobody said you shouldn't analyse
But at least drop something worth reading
Not that thing you dropped up there 😒


The south africans go loosen up for defence if no Osimhen
Because na Osimhen them come play and not Super Eagles

I think chukwueze gets critised too much more than other players.
The chances these guys missed today if it was chukwueze his name will be trending on social media.
Chukwueze gets dragged for half chances
While others will miss open sitters and people will brush it off and move on.
The guy deserves all the criticism. At least other players are regulars for their clubs and have good games in SE.

When last has Chuks made us proud?

Look oga, it's not that deep. You're right, they're playing the Super Eagles, but every team adjusts their strategy based on the opponent's key players. Take away a team's biggest threat, and the opponent can afford to be a bit more adventurous.

That's just football 101. It's also psychology 101.

But I appreciate the feedback. Afterall na you be the most celebrated football analyst for this forum and in Nigeria as a whole. Nairaland Guardiola. Well done.

Take it or leave it JPs tacrics is still the best so far. He was getting results bro!

Scoring against us was almost possible!

Imagine a team with a concrete defense, crowded midfield, fast wingbacks and two deadly forwads. We became a nightmare in the AFCON because of this and we should have continued from there.
that tactics I think is more suited for tournament football than qualifiers

That’s the same negative tactical approach that propelled Morocco the semis of the last World Cup

It works perfectly well when playing against superior teams but frustrating when playing lower rated teams

So it has its advantage and disadvantage

It does psychological damage to teams and their chances. After the whole exercise, they may end up deducting. That is being fair

I just jump that post o... Bench who get 37 G+A in 41 games for Nigeria WHEN he dey fully fit?

Except them pair both, no coach go try that thing.
And pairing both should be in a 352. 442 should be a bygone for us.

That's the problem. Deducting is still under probability.
By the way, any violating team should have themselves to blame when penalized automatically, not FIFA.

He knew that he goofed vs Zimbabwe.
that's a quality of a good tactician, learn from previous games. Ideally with the pedigree of Nigeria in football, we shouldn't be holding on to a goal lead against Zimbabwe or Rwanda.

Why is everyone overlooking Benin? There is still big problem if they beat Lesotho, which is very likely. Which means we'll behaving two teams surmount in just two games remaining.
Because we are still going to play them. It's in our hands.

We just have to win all remaining games, and hope for slip ups if not in our group then among the contenders for the playoff spots.

i get his point. Over dependence creates a key man risk. Once the key man is out, the team cannot function.

Nwabali no poor anything. I no go believe that one. We dey too forget abeg.

Is confidence not part of goalkeeping? That's even the most important attribute seff. Na lack of confidence still dey make Okoye dey bench till now.


Nwabali dey clown around normally but he's a frEaKiNG good goalkeeper.
Foe a fact, Nwabali is better then at least 70% of the GKs in the Premier League. That guy is good enough to be the GK of any elite football team. If he was white or light- skinned he would have left Africa.

Guys im still asking what will hapen in that group some1 pulled out.. how will CAF judge that group.? undecided
Becoz they wil feal cheated if their second best team dont make play offs.
Because if they played same number of matches they will be better position.
Every match against the bottom placed teams in the groups apart from the group that has 5 teams will be discounted. In the case of our group, the 2 points we got versus Zimbabwe will be removed, if we finish 2nd. For Gabon in group F, the 6 points the got from Seychelles will be discontinued. This will be done after all the matches are concluded. By then we will see who finished 2nd in all the groups and who finished last. This method has been consistently been adopted by FIFA, UEFA and CAF previously. I think if we win all our matches we will be among the best runner up 100%, but any slip ups will be dicey

Its already a doctored plan from CAF president who is from SA and also rich and influencial.. but its a pity NFF didnt fight it.
For lesotho to even be in that group with SA is where the fraud started
Not just Lesotho, Zimbabwe too they both play their home matches in SouthAfrica. Well na we Bleep up, if we won our other 3 home games like other big teams do and at least draw Benin, we we would have been 2 points ahead of SA

There is a saying... to fail to prepare is to prepare to fail. We brought this on ourselves. The same way Samson said I will arise as at other times but the spirit of God had left him. There is a lot to be said about this... but I am sure yall know that already right?

For every coach,dere would always like a favourite ❤️..it’s obvious dt chelles favourite is Moses Simon.he loves him


But u know dis ,yet u supported him ahead of him,when u knew vividly in my 1000page tactical analysis and plans dt no favourite player for me
Don't worry. If we qualify, Chelle will handle Afcon while you handle world cup.
