On Eric Chelle, I am not convinced.

Say all you want.

He is a good coach, but he is not yet there.
With all the quality at his call, very good coaches have actually shown their tactical superority over him.

Eric Chelle is a good coach but lacks sufficient depth.
Depth will come with experience and the willingness to learn.
Anyways he is still young with a lot of promise.

Thank you
Let him stay on
The quality will come to the fore

Osimhen is close to world class but he is not. He is not great with his legs. Check all the naija trained players at this Afcon, how many of them have good 1st touch? It is the innit boys that are assured in possession. Chukwueze is about the most technical Naija trained player and I still see some poor touches from him.

Osihmen could not help with gameplay against Maroc cuz of his poor 1st touch which overworked Akor. Iwobi gave him a ball in the box that he could not control in the Maroc game. Haaland could probably do better with it.

Theobangs:
totally world class this is Nigeria best defensive performance in years

Guy even Semi Ajayi dey recover ball while running from behind to catch up and even overtake.

Thunder suppose fire anybody wey talk down on Éric Chelle.

lbrichman2:
We still need creative midfielders

I agree
We couldn't beat Morocco and Egypt in 90 minutes
Lacked ideas, they were trying to get Iwobi on the ball a lot
We need more outlets

Best answer. Nothing to add!

Hopefully Chelle builds on this cause we are finally solid in defence and goal keeping, Arthur Okonkwo will join soon as #2 to Nwabali and Benjamin will miss his defensive best friend (Bassey), Ajayi is in his best prime and will provide effective leadership till he retires with a gold trophy in AFCON 27/28 insha Allah.

The foundation already looks good, the only few tweaks needed will be for Chelle to inject new prospects (as he promised) like Durosinmi who will be the next big #9 for us to understudy Osimhen and build a partnership with Akor (who is learning a lot from Osimhen already). We need them as reliable strikers who can hold it down when Osimhen is injured etc

Lastly the North curse seems to be broken under Chelle, we beat every North African team in this tournament except Morocco (arguably the best and most complete team in Africa at the moment) we didn't lose to them in regulation time, it took PKs with all the dodgy officiatings and Chukwueze's gaffe for them to beat us.

I make bold to say that right now, no African team can talk to us on the pitch except for Morocco, Senegal and maybe Ivory Coast.

rewatching how Nwabali saved 2 penalties against DRC amd we still went on to lose that our play off spot……Bassey voom!! Simon voom!!, Ajayi Voom world cup ticket voom😩😩

Exactly
Even though Onyedika stepped up a bit in the second half

First touch don't mean sheet
Osimheen will get you goals and that's all that matters
See how isak and gyokores are struggling despite 1st touch lol
Can you guys put some respect on that guy's name
This is very disrespectful to a generational talent
In the streets boys go beat you o

Even if we win Afcon some people will still say they are not convinced 😂

No be today. In 2013 some folks said we won Afcon by luck! Silly Nigerians

baba you see this one, dem go collect beating for our hand if we meet again…i can only fear Senegal and Morocco as the number 1 and number 2 teams….Egypt was very lucky our second 11 started this 3rd place match….if this game was a semifinal serious match, we for don tear Egypt apart

CAF/FIFA top 5 ranking should be
Morocco
Senegal
Nigeria
Egypt
Algeria

And the very good coaches are?

Nigeria is now smelling around the afcon trophy, we we will lift that trophy either 2027 or 2028

same way we romanced around the trophy from 2000 to 2010 before winning it in 2013
2000 2nd place
2002 3rd place
2004 3rd place
2006 3rd place
2010 3rd place
2013 WINNER

we are coming again
2019 3rd place
2023 2nd place
2025 3rd place

Why does everyone respect Spain?
It is cuz they produce technically secure players in every position.
Why do we talk about press resistant players like Cazorla, Modric, D.silva?

Most of Osimhen's goals are one touch (header or leg). Haaland scores those, but he also receives some fast passes to score some one on ones. Osihmen homself respects Berbatov for a reason.

After 7 matches (90/120 minutes) Chelle won 5 and drew 2.
Scored 14 and conceded only three
His team did not concede all through the knockout stage.

Oizee:
lol, Sir which one be voom voom?

😂😂🤣🤣 voom🔥 worldcup ticket don burn

Goke7:
This unity cup wey Una always Dey talk about no be cup na 😂 na otondo competition abeg

Make una stop this thing abeg. I no know why e dey always pain me when people dey talk down on Unity Cup or the 3rd Place match.

Men train for these games, men travelled for these games. Players were discovered from the Unity Cup. Éric Chelle praised the Cup and said it was his first trophy as a manager, it meant a lot to him. Na we go come dey online dey rubbish am like say if we lose those games una no go still drag the team.

Every match and tournament is important abeg, as far as them no play am barefooted and with mufti or POOJA wears.

lbrichman2:
Na spoon?

God bless you jare.

Goke7:
Algeria, Morocco and Egypt we kept clean sheets!

We must be foolish to let Chelle go!

And highly cursed as well.

Odunayaw:
And the very good coaches are?

Kasongo coaches 😂

I can't understand how Ajayi who I considered at best a squad player now rose up to be counted in this AFCON. Especially that we weren't defensive in this one like the last one Ekong won

yinkeys:
Nations League will improve bottom ranked teams

Are we running charity with the league?

minfelix:
even Osimhen sef, go and watch all his penalties, they are mostly “near catch” penalties 😀😀

Penalties na penalties. "near catch" na save?

Salah and Marmoush played good "far catch" PKs, how far na? Make Egyptians dey drag them say them play rubbish PKs? Who go miss go miss.

Expected goal for a PK is 0.87... Open net o with just one person standing to stop you. Anyhow you play am, there's that 0.13 possiblity of miss, ALWAYS.

The unity cup is as good as a friendly tournament to warm up our players and try new ones. It’s a simple matter. If we won unity cup and did badly at Afcon who will use unity as a barometer to measure the team? So that’s where am coming from. Even on Chelle cv no one will reckon much with unity cup like the bronze he has won today which is a bigger deal. For Chelle am happy he won bronze so he can shut some of his critics up cos they would have come for him if he didn’t win today but for me am tired of bronze hope you get? Am even more fascinated by the 4 straight clean sheets he had in the past four games than the bronze itself. And in this Afcon he didn’t lose any game in regulation time, stuffs like that are more important to me.

lbrichman2:
Consistency if you ask me
When we didn't win the gold, we got the bronze
That's excellent

If we fix our FA and administrative issues, we can rule African football for decades

NIGERIA HAS NEVER FINISHED 4TH IN AFCON HISTORY 😁🦅🇳🇬

Is it truth that Morocco is rank 8th in the world.
