I said it benching Akor was a bad idea
I agree with you . He will put pressure on their defense

Ndidi is not the problem, Iwobi is the problem so far..
Missing a seemingly easy goal and gifting a pass to a Congolese that led to parity are 2 offences too many.
I still maintain Ndidi is a problem; keeping captaincy aside.

The Super Eagles are losing to the Super Eagles.

We are undoing ourselves. The Congolese are simply waiting and trying to exploit our erroneous back passes. Communication and passing needs to improve on our backline.

The regression of Lookman at both club and national level is quite a site to behold.

We were correct to bring Fredrick to RB. DRC have targeted that wing all game.

Osayi would have been under immense tension.
Chukwueze and Lookmon is not playing well , so the wings has put pressure on the Fredrick , i pray he doesnt commit fouls that will led too a yellow or red card .... we are playing with minus 4 men

Iwobi is the key to this formation, reviving the ball and find osimhen and the wingers run behind the line, iwobi is not positioning to receive the ball, he is also not pressing in that midfield.

He is lost.
Exactly. He seems to have had the fewest touches.

He does nothing up front. Ball watching for full 45

Dr condo was very fearless in first half took the game to us but we were jittery after scoring... Guys should calm down and finish this game.

This match is going as I have envisaged. I knew it was going to be a tough one, but we will emerge victorious.

That black boy on their left wing would have destroyed either Osayi or Awaziem.

The only thing Iwobi has drifted to today is to sleep!

Chelle must shake them awake

Odunayaw:
I think Iwobi will drift a lot to LW for Lookman to play SS

I'm tipping Lookman to score today

Talks like this irks me, na why politicians dy use us.
Ndidi who was superb in the last match is the same person you're saying is old.
Others are calling for Iwobi's head; do people realise some days are bad days in footbal??

Ndidi was been careful handling that ball because controlling it or clearing it wrongly which he sould have done would have led to an own goal considering the force that pass came with. It was a tricky situation.
codemaniacs:
Ndidi is old.

A younger player with more speed would have stopped that.

Ndidi could have also slide tackled the ball.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:55pm On Nov 16, 2025
I noticed same. Initially, Frank Onyeka was the RCM operator, Chuks roamed as the central attacking midfield player.

This was how the setup was before we conceded... I was typing this below but paused after they equalised.

The midfield is interesting. Chukwueze plays in the middle and isnt far from lookman or Iwobi by much when he gets the ball.... part of the reason our transition flow and passing sequence in the middle has been really good. Onyeka is playing more from the right as the RCM, Chukwueze as the roaming attacking midfielder and Iwobi as CM. Ndidi sits deeper behhind them. Lookman plays as the Left halfspace attacking operator, and somewhat dropping off Osimhen who is the pointman.

The above was the setup before Chuks was finally pushed wingwards to RW post DRC-goal.

CornOak:
We switched formation immediately after our goal and I wasn'tcomfortable with that. We ceeded possesion, brought Chuks into the middle and starved Osimhen of the ball.

Now, we are back to the original 4-3-3 flat.

I wonder why we never look that side since.
A nationality switch that has been greenlighted for two years now.

Mybettingtips:
We need to stretch DRC and make forward passes. We are not attacking, just recycling ball among our defenders just to lose the ball anytime they massively attack us
We are not moving the ball quickly

Ndidi was not meant to play this match the 2 yellow card suspension was a sign from the heavens.

Lookman is a shadow of himself. He’s low on confidence and he’s decision making has been disappointing. No where near being Africa’s best footballer. I still don’t understand what Chukwueze is doing , is he playing in the number 10 or somerhing? Just bring on Akor Or Ejike
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Jojodjo: 8:59pm On Nov 16, 2025
DRC were smart enough to cage their wings but the disadvantage is, that'll open their midfield
With the right passes, the super eagles should either find away to open up their wings or explore the gaps that'll be open in the middle.
