kellycute: I read some pages back and saw Southgate predicting a 3-0 win for us and even tipping Osimhen to come in. I was stunned. Verily Verily I say unto thee My Man Kelly, Southgate is not far from the kingdom of heaven anymore... He just drew a bit closer.. Anyway, leave Southgate mata first and give me a big hug buddy..... 5 Likes

edi287: I agree with your points, I still feel our team needs atleast one more creative midfielder. Someone that has the eye for key passes because our front line is already good at making runs it's even like they're on speed 3 Likes |

Greetings Mr Lucky. Trust life has been good. On your question to Boss Tbaba1234... Well if I may, I just will say that dorning the #1 jersey is not really indicative of who is number 1 in goal. Alisson wears #13 but he is Liverpool's number 1. Ederson too goes by #31 I think but he is Man city's number 1. Uzoho was first choice but wore #23 at Russia 2018. So it is not indicative but most coaches would give the number 1 jersey to their first choice. Sometimes though, the goalie may prefer a different number. Luckyroro: 1 Like |

No need for savior #3 until possibly the KO rounds. We have qualified already. The third game is to see the team grow rven stronger into the tournament as we warm up for the killer rounds of Knockout football. naturecures: |

When I said Ekong had a poor game against Burundi they asked me if I watched the back of my television. That Ekong was spectacular, Ekong was solid bla bla bla. On the matchday Ekong gets dropped.. Big decision to drop the defender today and even Mikel too wow! Well, both Ekong and the Captain are both good players irrespective. Their exclusion didn't overly affect the team because of the depth of the squad and that's a huge positive. They're through with a game to spare! |

Nigeria vs Guinea: 5 things we learnt as Super Eagles qualify for Round of 16 By Ifreke Inyang Nigeria has become the first team at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, to book a spot in the last 16. The Super Eagles defeated their biggest rival in Group B Guinea by a lone goal on Wednesday, to confirm their place in the next round. So, what are the five things we learnt from the fixture at Alexandria? 1. Easy draw in the next round: With Gernot Rohr’s all but certain to finish top of Group B, they will likely get a third-placed team in the Round of 16. Although there are no small countries anymore in (African) football, it would be better to face the heavyweights much later in the competition. 2. Omeruo, Man of the Match: The defender, who spent last season on loan at Leganes from Chelsea, was in sparkling form against Guinea. Solid at the back, Omeruo proved decision at the other end of the pitch, rising highest to head in the winner. A lot of fans and pundits were surprised he kept his place ahead of Troost-Ekong, to partner the returning Leon Balogun. But on the strength of today’s performance, he justified his selection. 3. The Iwobi conundrum: Following the victory over Burundi, there were widespread calls for Rohr to drop skipper John Obi Mikel and start Alex Iwobi as a no. 10. The German listened and made the change. But the Arsenal man was a huge let down overall. He was jittery and clumsy all through the first half and only improved a bit after the break. The search for his uncle Jay Jay Okocha’s replacement is still on. 4. Akpeyi much better: Although it took the Kaizer Chiefs’ stopper just two minutes to flap at his first ball, he produced a much more assured performance. Credit has to be given to the Omeruo-Balogun axis in front of him, that served as a wall of resistance. 5. Kick Keita Out: Paul Put started the Liverpool midfielder against the Super Eagles, hoping that he would pull the strings against the three-time champions. Instead, Keita was given a kick around by Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo and hardly stayed on his feet to influence the game. Jurgen Klopp must have been grinding his teeth, as his man kept falling and rolling around in agony. He was eventually substituted off. Source: Dailypost.ng 6 Likes |

Humility017: It's not a big deal if he doesn't. Mendy didn't warm-up on the pitch throughout the tournament, yet he won the World Cup. Stop making it look like its one helluva big deal. 23 players go for tourneys, not all of them get to play. Let's leave Rohr to do his job. We don't know his players better than he does. He has his reasons for not playing them yet, if at all he will. Ha! Oga o 1 Like |

Post Match tots - #NGAGUI series 2. Naby Keita will never forget the name Wilfred Onyinye Ndidi!!! Ndidi Shadowed Keita, Nullified his threats, closed him down at every bloody turn and even in a clash of legs in a tussle, Keita cane off worse. Keita was practically played off the field by Ndidi's monstrous discipline, tactical positionings, tidy tackles to shut down passing, running and shooting channels Keita would have exploited. Ndidi's distribution also improved today and he is so confident when in a tussle for the ball. The way he can wriggle his way out of trouble with simple stepovers and turns is also impressive to see. If we didn't see the best of Naby Keita today reputed to be among Africa's top CMs and Box-to-Box Bisons today, it is because the beast in Ndidi was super active today. 3. When Iwobi was faltering and misplacing passes and having a performance parallel to his good AM showing from the Burundi game, my thoughts was for Rohr to please Bring in Mikel. But that means to take out one of Etebo or Ndidi.... TOUGH CALL!! BLOODY TOUGH CALL. But we may have to solve this conundrum at some point in this Afcon as we progress. Mikel flopped as an AM vs Burundi... Yes! But his best position for us now in his final moments with the GwG is in the "PIRLO ROLE". THE REGISTA. Mikel as a CM/Deep lying playmaking CM will control the entire game, boss proceedings and complement Iwobi's crispness and fluidity in the AM ROLE. BUT seeing the Xavi/Iniesta-like combo in a Mikel/Iwobi as CM-AM combo would mean dropping one of our two midfield rocks to the bench. Etebo or Ndidi. Etebo brought a lot today to our midfield battles and did okay on a few occasions when he had to pass the ball around but he still didn't function with the positional discipline Mikel would have brought to the table. Etebo helped Ndidi neutralise the guinean midfield. A midfield having Naby Keita of UCL winners Liverpool and a certain Amadou Diawara of Napoli FC (not sure if he is still there.. will check) complemented by the dynamism of their captain Traore of Borussia mochengladbach in Germany was always going to be mountain for any team but Etebo and NDIDI dominated them and did their reputation lots of good. Only minus is that we didn't move the ball well enough from defence to the wings and attack as much as we would have wanted. Sometimes we went the route one way and yes, Our CM in etebo was all hardwork and putting his body into duels but his ball distribution responsibilities weren't distinctly executed. We didn't have enough creativity and passing options fron deep because neither Etebo nor Ndidi can playmake from deep like Mikel does. In all, a fine performance from the man with Ten Lungs, Peter oghenekaro Etebo. He should also work on his freekick delivery. One FK goal can be the difference sometimes between a win and a loss. Between Glory and Despair. (TBC .....) 8 Likes |
