So Nigeria cannot host this thing smh
We need to push vigorously for either hosting 2028 or CAF returning to biennial competition.

I'm very disappointed that Pinnick for all his rubbing with the creme cannot translate it to any benefit for us.

TheGoodJoe:
The point is breaking play.

The Moroccans were not the side to play the possession game and keep the ball. If not they would have easily dominated possession. They were direct with their play.

The point is us not going to stop them from building from the back.

We sat back and let them do that. Just that when they came, we broke them down. Unfortunately, when we broke them down, we were too far to cause problems.

Gerrit?
There is no way we were going to do that with Morocco. They are a good side. In the second half when we tried thrice, twice they lost-played the ball for throw-in. Once they transitioned well and almost scored from the counter. With Ndidi probably, it would have been different because he would have given better cover.

Anybody blaming our strikers should keep quiet as the Moroccan strikers sef no see ball score. This was an almost even game o. Make Una calm down.

We have to thoroughly search both locally or through the foreign borns for at least two midfielders that can progress the ball and beat the press before the next AFCON. The officiating was terrible but we shouldn't always be held to ransome once the passing lanes are blocked. I can't even blame ndidi 's unavailability today cause he was there when DRC used close to this same Moroccan tactic on us

The only thing we truly prepare for, is elections
For everything else, we take a reactionary approach
Yinkeys makes that statement so that we can host and rig our way too to winning... grin To show that the North Africans or others (CIV in 2024) are not the only ones adept at forcing games to bend to their will.

Yinkeys, calm down...

As a condition for Chelle to be retained Simon should retire from this team abeg e don do.

Once Chelle wants to remove anyone the first player to come in is always Simon whether he’s replacing a striker, midfielder or defender. The technical committee needs to stop him on this.
Probably with diomande likely getting sold to england and sani Suleiman emerging I believe he'll soon be phased out

Spainever:
Well said , I was expecting Chukueze to come and run the flanks and make some crosses but coach brought in Bashiru to play as a winger . The coach is what we can afford , he is not a grade A coach but he is trying .
The match againt congo was when he was exposed as a poor tactician.
I came here to tlak abt it that he is a poor coach who is just moving by luck and very soon everyone will see it. Lol after saying that i got over 15 quotes insulting me

That was our way to win and yes, we can achieve it with a proper set up. The fact is that we prepared to let the Moroccans have the ball.

Because the match didnt need Chuks
Wetin Lookman play today?
Chuks also would have been crowded out and then we'd look for someone else to blame..

Okay, let me indulge you for a second..
To dribble and make crosses, Or to score penalty, which one easy pass?

Then also tell me wetin Chuks do

Chukwueze is a better dribbler than lookman they are 2 different people.
Lookman is more selfish he wants to score too..but Chukwueze focus more on assist than goals.

Chukwueze is better than lookman on 1 v 1

Progress the ball and beat the press is one... but there is a third element. Physical aggression. These midfielders must be badass aggressive as well as technical.

I know I am a brain over brawn football lover but I prefer a player that can do both with immaculate balance. Even if the balance is decent, I go still manage and build on am.

This is why it hurts seeing Christantus Uche used as a striker at Palace. That is one guy to put in the middle and come up against such a system. BEASTLY strong, technical, progressive, and also not slow. A Yaya profile.

Being Progressive and Technical like Onyedika is no longer enough. If you are not Physically aggressive, na minus be that.

This is where Onyedika really failed today. He should have stepped up his "aggression meter" to ensure his other qualities shone through against the press.

No way that Moroccan press will bully or push back a midfield of Powerhouse yet technical midfield players.

Morocco owned the midfield yet couldn't create any clear cut chance..
Even with the ball we left for them..

Osayi and Bruno stopped all crosses
Them comot all their strikers because they no see ball play..

They brought in El neysri to do cross and nod, yet still no cross..

How can we ignore all that and begin to blame strikers
Strikers how??

All the banger boys had a meeting and reached the same conclusion regarding the body language of Chukwueze? Is this lady too a banger boy?
