compose or Nigeria not taking their chances?

Naija took their chances to a good extent. Their defence is really composed. Well timed clearances and interceptions. Good positioning.

Nigeria played well in this half and any team in our qualifying group would have conceded.

Akor adams miss wasn't as bad you guys potray it to be. Keeper was well positioned, the defence had covered the right side and Osimhen was offside.

this is not a personal thing against Akor. It's what will give us a better stability in midfield. Akor is lurking to pounce, besides that no much presence.

Odunayaw:
Akor has justified his start despite me preferring another midfielder.

AndSunGorilla:
Please I no dey watch, who is the main culprit wasting our chances abeg?

Luck has been on the side of Gabon, their keeper made some excellent saves. The other chances missed were due to poor balance before taking the shots.

We are still fully in this match, let’s hope for a goal in the second half. Pray against this match dragging into pk

So far

OSIHMEN has been everywhere, just needs a goal

FREDRICK too rugged abeg player no suppose good like that

IWOBI doing IWOBI things

NDIDI holding his position

BASSEY smashing and destroying as usual

AKOR ... Hmmm

LOOKMAN if I talk now dem go shout APOTY

CHUKS should be sharper

SANUSI has been smooth in his wing

orriyomi33:
Someone should talk to NWABALI

I don't know why he didn't shoot the ball immediately he came out of the box 18, he's lucky no Gabonese player dispossessed him there

Pasveer did same thing in the UCL in the first half vs Osimhen.
Mbaba must crack open in the second half. We are all over Gabon.

Kilishihunter:
This same Gabon keeper conceded two or three goals against Gambia sef but today he's Buffon

lordofstrings:
So this Bois are this good 😊
Omo, Joy is coming

And the pitch is good. Thumbs up Morocco.

Papi85:
the boy is too good. A big blessing to the national team and the scary part is that he is till developing

Good play in general by the team, the flood gates will open in the second half

Na blessing oh. No cap.

Thank you brother!!! But abeg could you put a name on the player with the chances? Was it Lookman?

Gabon is just afraid of us, they would have utilized our empty midfield.
Remove Akor and fortify our midfield and we will have different options of scoring.
Remove Lookman for Simon for more supply to Osimhen and more defensive duty.
Remove iwobi for any player even defender.

caylakays:
Chukwueze is baller, he stabilized d midfield. I love his fast pass

u sabi watch ball

I never knew Samu was this creative, he started showing the creative side of his game during the tourney in England and since then have been a delight to watch whenever he plays

If you try this one, you go learn the hard way... Thank God you no be coach.

UncleHaba22:
So Eric Chelle win 4-0 finish go change lineup 🤣🤣

Lookman shouldn't return in the second half

Shey Una dey see wetin we dey talk about iwobi

I know it's not a personal thing. Akor created a lot of space on the left, presses and allows Osimhen freedom to roam.

I also would have preferred a 3 man midfield but Akor's performance has kept me mute

I can’t remember Lookman firing a shot in the first half. His major issue is he misplaced some passes, hold on to the ball for too long and get dispossessed easily. It’s Akor and Osimhen that have taken our shots.

Akor has linked up great with other attackers.

The boys are playing well.

The goals will come.

Lookman? In this game?

Gabon will be sitting back to hit us at the counter. We need early goals . Why is the ref not checking VAR?

remove Iwobi? So who’ll be the chief supplier?

by presence i mean dominance. The team generally has done well with link up plays

BascoVanVeli:
Akor has linked up great with other attackers.

Thank you joor.

If anything take off Lookman for Oynedika then maybe Adams for Simon

On the contrary, Akor stays. Lookman or Chukwueze off for Chidera Ejuke. Some creativity is needed in attacking midfield

I hope the game don't drag into extra time

The team is good the way it is. No substitution is needed for now.

Game on

Gabonese have put you all at the edges of your sit right? Especially the absolutely confident ones whom before kickoff were predicting some absolute sexy scoreline in favour of the Eagles. 😂🤣🤣

Let me restore a little hope in your hearts to sooth what you might feel as a disappointing first half performance but an expected one to me and that's that we'd win but by a slim margin. I think since our last AFCON tournament that this is our best performance against an African side. This is a mini tournament or competition we are playing right now and this is good game we are playing.

Exactly 💯
