Bright Osayi tried. But he should be substituted as from 70th minute of every game. Loss of concentration or wetin I no know. Against Zimbabwe, Congo and now Tunisia.

Abi no be Bright Osayi name full everywhere for the stats and people are condemning poor guy, against Tunisia I rated him than Bruno

AndSunGorilla:
Egbon u know that Benjamin played because of circumstances as no big boy was available, if the older guys were there, he probably won't have played in the unity cup so it may not be about training.

I have analysed this situation over and over.
A midfielder will not present as the effective weapon against the momentum of the Tunisians as well as plug the zones they were exploiting.

Wingers will not only plug the zones, but will provide more attacking threat that can push the Tunisians back.

What the Tunisians had wasn't game tactics, they have been beaten to it, what they had was just momentum. If we had managed to score just one, which we can, they will look for their sleeping mats.

The Super Eagles is not a team that can survive being on the back foot for long even with our midfielders.

Truth is both fullbacks actually tried yesterday and yes Bright, aside the controversial penalty call, especially showed improvement yesterday although he did struggle a bit against Tounekti who came on. This, I believe, was part reason for the introduction of Ejuke to help out on the right channel.

Bright was key to our possession-transition plays on the right channel and provided more final third penetration. Bruno on the other hand won more duels, made more tackles and provided crosses.

As non-rated as both were before the game, they actually delivered solid showings for the most parts.
💯💯💯💯💯. You sabi

Osayi was massive last night. He helped us to keep possession. Sometimes previous errors of players just keep following them. Same with Nwabali apart from that unnecessary tackle when ref has blown his whistle I too don’t understand all the attack on the keeper for that 1st goal conceded, he simply slipped due to the pitch soaked in rain! But previous errors just make him an easy target for any slip up.

Goke7:
But bro he sent some people back to Tunisia sha before putting the ball into the net make we talk true 😂

lexyman:
i wish the SE have a complete defence ... among our best leg in the defence line , only Bassey is injury free .... i will Fredrick and Aina a quick recovery

charlesemeka85:
he was just better than he was in our first game

He doesn’t bomb forward and was easily turned in and out on 1v1 situations severally against Tunisia

Dude is wack

Mujtahida:
Definitely. It was a sweet goal but na God save am say he score oo because both Osimhen and Akor were free. It shows his level of confidence and composure.

lbrichman2:
Give me Zambia

Meliforme:
Some people just want to be heard and out of their emotions they say rubbish.

The way we transited the ball from defence to the final third was a scene that was very rare in our football, but now we carry it out with ease.
This is the sweetest of football that i have seen of the Super Eagles in a very long while.

He did not see any positive to comment about, just the opening of his mouth to talk about a scenario that is beyond his understanding.
The wingers did their job.

To kill the momentum of the Tunisians we needed wingers with the energy to run into space, to run with the ball and make something happen and we almost succeeded.

Goke7:
Bomb forward against a Tunisia who was waiting for a fast counter? Abeg o 😂 he did ok jor. Make we accept am like that, he’s not Bassey or Fredrick

jihday:
stop making stuff up, if he was insulting the assistant ref he won’t have gotten yellow, he’d have been sent off

From a Tunisian fan via X

“ have to say playing against him is genuinely scary and frustrating. Our centre backs aren’t usually this bad, and we rarely struggle this much when defending crosses. But this guy is an absolute monster.

Right now, I genuinely think he has the best box presence in world football. His movement is extremely intelligent, he knows exactly when and where to attack the space, and physically he is on another level. His strength makes it almost impossible to duel with him, his jumping ability is insane, and he always seems to be at the end of every single cross.

With all due respect to Galatasaray, he’s seriously wasting his prime years in Turkey. He deserves a better team in a top league”

TheSuperNerd:
Only Ejuke dropped 3 defensive contributions. Simon Moses surprisingly dropped Zero defensive contributions. Chelle should not have brought on 2 wingers at the same time. One was enough.

The other should have been a midfielder with emphasis on defense and ball holding/retention.

Oga your boy nearly cost us,he won a duel but his overall performance was poor though better than Simon Moses,the duo don't deserve to come in,they did nothing,hope you saw where your boy was dispossess trying to do Okocha,that almost led to a goal....
