Busquet is slow yet he brings the experience no young player has.
There's a form of stability Ndidi brings to the pitch irrespective that his style of play is not flashy.

I agree with you that Ndidi is aging but Onyedika probably might not have fared better.
codemaniacs:
Thats why a younger player would have done much better.

Ndidi does not have the speed a younger player would have used to react faster.

From your opinion, the coach needs to move Ndidi to iwobi's position then remove iwobi and bring in Onyedika.

Anyway, Benjamin Frederick has been solid against the DRC Wingers especially Mbuku and ovelapping fullback Masuaku.

Zaidu too has been solid but the DRC have been knocking through our right more.

Only 3 shots on target in this game from both sides. Nigeria with 2. DRC with 1. Chances have been scarce. We need to step up the fire in the first 10-15mins of the second half and see out the rest.

Osimhen up against Mbemba and Tuanzebe also may need help. Akor Adams needs to start warming up ahead if the starters dont bag within the first 15mins of the 2nd 45.

Lastly, Iwobi has not exactly been in this game. He needs to shake off that slumber. His invention in the final third is needed badly.

the disconnect in this game is coming from Chukwueze , the role seems to be too big for him in this game

Our wingers need to put the fear of God in their full backs. They can't be overlapping freely
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheLoneCitizen(m): 9:06pm On Nov 16, 2025
Our biggest problem this match is indiscipline.

DRC have opted to shore up the midfield and the wing is open. But our wingers our not showing enough discipline to hold their width. Both chukwueze and lookman are inverting and that's a big issue.

Overload the wings like Ejuke and Simon did, leave Iwobi to the free role and watch the chances pour in.

They are over thinking it. We didn't score three goals by chance extratime.

The players are not staying wide and that's also affecting Iwobi. I said this against Gabon

TheLoneCitizen:
For this kind of system where the two wingers invert like Chukwueze and Lookman did, you need a playmaker, and Iwobi is the only one we got.
But he was very poor today, misplaced all his passes.

The only counter to this is for wingers to stay wide like Simon and Ejuke did in second half, then can bench Iwobi for a box-to-box like Onyeka.

Iwobi has been poor for a while though, but quality is timeless.

Onyedika is younger and would have fared much better.

If the game goes to penalty, I guess the time will change.
Well, i like you faith for the fact you're somehow certain it'll end by 10 means it'll not go into extra time.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 9:10pm On Nov 16, 2025
There is no way Osimhen is getting subbed off except he picked up a knock we didnt notice or Chelle just pulled a huge tactical shocker. A result of which we await now.

I was hoping for Akor to join Osimhen upfront, not replace the Monster na. Anyway, Go Super Eagles.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by 9JAMac10: 9:10pm On Nov 16, 2025
Osimhen needs to spend more time in the gym and extra training sessions. This his injury prone self may be a decider why the big clubs don’t want to splash the cash on him.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Cocony(m): 9:10pm On Nov 16, 2025
3:1 or 4:2 in favour of Nigeria will be the final result.
I believe Nigeria can get a 2nd goal before the 52nd minute.

Waiting to see if he’s on the bench.

I hope it’s not a locker room issue. Might be tho. He was really pissed with Lookman I think after that clash in the 18yd.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by GMBOFASIA: 9:12pm On Nov 16, 2025
Could it be locker room issue cause during first half osimhen didn’t show sign of injury

The only accurate passes we are making are the back passes. All forward passes are inaccurate

Why today??
