Very popular bro. 😂😂😂😜😜Rumor has it that was from this thread that Finidi got his line up and soaked up tiki taka football philosophy from one of the veterans of this thread. Whether it was his improper digestion of the philosophy or the philosophy itself that led him astray, I cannot say but the rest as they say is history. That misadventure cost us world cup qualification.

😂 delaw allow sleeping dogs lie na, we sha Dey soak up knowledge now even though na bp things

The problem is not coming here to soak up knowledge. Anybody can come here and soak up knowledge just be sure who you soaking it up from and ensure you apply what you have soaked up properly.

I don talk my own

BankyGee:
I no sure say na here he hear say formation no matter sha 😂

😂😂😂 Definitely not from here. Here we believe in formation and philosophy die!

Okay, I don come back from my basking in our well-deserved victory against Tunisia 🇹🇳

I've seen a lot of people bashing Éric Chelle here and there, left and right, front and back, someone even called him a fool! A fool that dominated a whole Tunisia and almost turned them to São Tomé e Principé? We had 250+ passes in the first half while they had 87, like 8 and 7! For a team like Tunisia... We dominated them as hell, over dominated them seff.

Now, the subs Éric Chelle did removing Onyeka was bad, we know, and it collapsed our midfield, we also know. I thought hard to look for a reason for it and this might be it – both the Moses Simon and Ejuke's sub changed the game against Gabon and Éric Chelle has tried it more than once after that game. We were leading Tunisia by 3 goals and I feel Éric Chelle wanted to test something with those subs. What's the worse that can happen at 75 mins with a 3 goal lead? Last last 3–3 draw. I feel he wanted to see if the sub will be impactful or not, which it wasn't. I don't think he'll do it again. He has seen what he wanted to see.

Éric Chelle is a good coach and is one of the best we've had in years, he has good knowledge of what he wants to do against every opponent and has made us play good football that we've not seen in a long while.

Let's calm down on the way we bash him. Like I always say, he has a lot of improving to do on himself and his game management, but I trust him more that all our previous coaches and he knows how to get the best out of his players. Look at all the trust he has been putting in Lookman paying off massively now, we dey always shout, bench Lookman, bench Lookman, but Chelle was seeing greatness where we were seeing loss of form. The man is good.

The interception, the skills, the flair, iwobi’s perfectly weighted pass, osimhen’s cut back and Lookman’s Calmness for that third goal was a beauty to behold.
It has been on replay for me since morning.

It’s like they should replay the 75 minutes for me again. Even Chelle admitted that was the best 75 minutes of his coaching career.

MKPUOGALIGA:
Anybody knows where I get get the full match between Nigeria and Tunisia

Everybody dey praise Iwobi oo. Idenna what say you?

Dude don't ever come on my mentions again, okay.. I said I wasn't a coach in my post. so smart ass buzz off.

Bossoflife25:
Choking the midfield is not being cautious is simply creating balance. Every successful endeavors requires balance. For 75 minutes we had that balance and we dominated. Tunisia changed to 4-3-3, and you as a coach thought the best reaction is to go 4-4-2? Haba. Even someone without football knowledge knows 4-3-3 is the antidote to 442.

you know it!

Goke7:
Na Kanu Nwankwo sabi this thing those days he no Dey dive but e fit carry ball put for person hand inside the box, badt guy 😂

Iwobi must be mentally strong, the guy went through a lot I mean a lot to get to where he is today yet he was never fazed

I remember when Aubameyang and Laca were mocking his footballing abilities at Arsenal that's when it hit me that these guys are actually human

This is just an armless post to the coach not you!
Relax my guy! Life no hard!

Every game is different and this is a tournament and not a league format of home and away games. You’re up by 3 goals, 3 points is what you need, excellent goal difference already so do you need more goals? So what the hell are you bringing in offensive players for? All we needed is wound up the game by keeping possession, bring in more defensive minded players and slow down the game which super eagles are well know for and Iwobi was doing just that. Against Benin in the wcq we needed more goals to get to the playoffs so wingers can come in no problem but what do we need players like Simon and ejuke in that game yesterday for? Chelle is showing some rigidity here and it will surely cost us in more crucial games if he doesn’t watch it. Good football is not everything, game management and common sense of adaptability matters in a tournament and our coach inexperience is showing too early. You don’t have much opportunity to experiment in a tournament. We were lucky to escape last night despite dominating for 70 mins. The final result at the end is what matters no matter how long you dominated play.

MetalJigsaw:
Now Chelle is doing the same thing

i dey make dey no wash head for touchline this time sha. 🤣

Subzero0477:

mocking Iwobi? When please?

MetalJigsaw:
I believe Lookman has replaced Nacho

in impact, maybe.

kennysville:
Add the coach's erratic substitutions and his obsession for wing play

All Chelle needs to do is reinvent the Jpes tactics that took us to the last final. It is perfect for SE in tournament mode and he can add some sleek to the rough edges Jpes didn't address. I love the crosses men and it's even making me miss Aina.


That Hannibal, abeg make they no give chance to such Bouazizi regen to try that again o.

Exactly! More reason you shouldn't have made the post cos it has no hands in what we've been saying.

There was a video they were rewatching their match and they were laughing at Iwobi's indecision I can't find the video

MKPUOGALIGA:

Ask Lexyman,the moniker above your post,he mentioned he re-watched the match.

Subzero0477:

Must be banter cos Laca should be the last person to mock another player. A self acclaimed striker who was averaging 1 goal per 6 months.

Thanks for this. Cos i think subconsciously many of us do make the mistake of mentally fitting tournament football to league football. In League format, the next game is another chance. You can overlook errors and underplay funny subs. But not in tournament. In tournament the mentality gats shift. Nonsense should be called its name not excused. Any best team can be out in barely 75seconds of tournament football. Add that luck factor too. Na why we no fit ever forget Mbappe even though Messi also played that final.

We still praise Jpes for last AFCON approach. It worked and got us far. Nobody go remember anything else again.

Subzero0477:

i think Chelle has given him the 2019 freedom back. That's the true self of Iwobi. All those deep nonsense he played after Rohr hindered him mentally.

Guy just shuuu! I shouldn't make a post cos of what?
You guys behave like like gatekeeper or what?
How does my post hurt anybody. Don't vex me this evening oo!

Cameroon now has a striker!! Be scared!

Imagine you dominate play for over 80 mins and leading by 1-0 then the opponent score two goals in 10 mins to win by 2-1 who will remember you dominated for almost the entire game? Imagine it’s a knockout game it’s that not the end? Burkina Faso 1st game with Equatorial Guinea was 0-0 until the 80 mins or so then Equatorial Guinea scored first but in added time Burkina scored two and won 2-1 but today Burkina has lost to Algeria imagine they didn’t get 3 points in their first game. Who is remembering who dominated play now?

you relax. i never mention you, so pls reciprocate. i like civility..

MetalJigsaw:
He's an idiot for such statement. It was only luck that made us win that game... I wonder what he would be saying.

Don't let your emotions control you.
You can criticise his methods without calling him ugly names.

With all the work he did yesterday.
This is uncalled for.

Civ 1-0

It's like nobody knows the rule for handball anymore......ivory coast defender just kick the ball into his own hand and the red didn't call pk
