Ivory coast have a gem in Amad Diallo

Meliforme:
At the words in bold, you are very correct.
Iwobi is the best SS in Super Eagles as it stands.

Iwobi's pressing and work rate combined with that of Osimhen will spell menace on any opposition.

We will experience the diamond in Iwobi and reap extensively the beauty in 4-4-2 when we play lwobi behind the striker.

Iwobi's pressing and workrate, have you seen Iwobi press

chrisooblog:
your opinion

Its my opinion na

chrisooblog:
Ekong was covering for Awaziem who was caught out of position while Okoye was a bit slow to react to Anguissa's shot. Even the midfielders could have reacted faster to Ekong's clearance. Ekong gets full marks from me for trying to avert danger. I can bet if it was someone like kepa that conceded that goal he would have been torn to shreds

The only person who made a mistake in that clip is Ekong, every other thing is irrelevant

chrisooblog:
Guy Ekong came out to clear eminent danger blaming him solely for the F up of other people is a touch too far.

Yes I blame him because he was responsible for that goal who do you want me to blame Okoye or Awaziem? He should be doing better as a professional defender

chrisooblog:
one thing I have noticed about us Nigerians is once we have an agenda against someone come hell or high water we will change our position about the person despite the evidence staring you in the face. I won't be hypocritical I sometimes find myself falling into that frame of mind

Are you trying to say I have an agenda against Ekong, did you watch that clip and don't think I have a point?

BascoVanVeli:
U have not said any that would work. U said he should have kicked the ball to a corner and somebody stepped in to save u but are still shouting plenty options.

The question is why don't you people want to question Okoye and Awaziem That's what I really want to know.

Na fight besides that shot came with velocity Okoye had no chance

BascoVanVeli:
It is common sense. In that position Ekong did the only thing possible . If he had gone for the header and missed people like you would still bash him.

There are so many choices Ekong could have made in that position and he made the worst one, I don't know why you are defending him

Curious345:
I am Igbo ,but I want a united Nigeria

When Nigeria is divided you can go and live in the North

BascoVanVeli:
That was the only option available. He had to stop the ball from getting to the striker. If he tried to use his left he might not have reached the ball. There is no way he could direct the ball to the corner with his right because he could only use the outside of his foot. If he could do that he would be playing striker for Watford and not CB

He was in control of the direction the ball went, it was not a shot but rather a punt so he had time to make a decision the fact that he sent the ball to the middle of the pitch, (the worst place he could have sent it) was a bad decision imo

IDENNAA:
From what I have seen so far in the match Ndidi was good. He need to do more of that.

Was he as good as Azubuike Okechukwu

BascoVanVeli:
Come on now how will he put this ball sideways or to the corner Make it make sense to me.

He can use his front leg and punt it sideways (leading to a throw-in) seeing that pushing it backwards would only connect with the side of his foot and won't generate much velocity

Its like heading backwards, defenders are advised to head sideways or if they must, apply much velocity to a backward header

BascoVanVeli:
That was not a clearance, he blocked the ball from getting to the striker. That was the best he could do in that situation. If he had gone for a clearance and missed that might have been an even easier goal.

He directed the ball backwards, he could have directed it sideways or even for a corner kick

dijon:
Did you ask yourself where the holding midfielder
was?

Regardless he shouldn't be clearing the ball to the front of his 18 yard box, it was amateur defending

BascoVanVeli:
Highlights of the game

Nigeria vs Cameroon

That goal was partly Ekong's fault, how can an experienced defender clear a ball to the front of his 18yard box? He just set up an assist for Anguisa

mank1234:
If he's being owed 2yrs, it means no one in NFF is sharing in his salary. If they were, they would be paying him in advance.

Yes

Blueelf:
I lie?

Teams are getting better. Teams we trashed well in WC qualifiers then...Algeria and Cameroon


See ehn, Rohr Jazz on NFF strong well. If he were to be a Nigerian coach, he'd have been relieved of his duties since and the annoying thing is he will give excuses like we have the worst squad in the whole of Africa

Rohr jazz, Rohr has not been paid salaries in two years and you are talking about jazz we are not helping him he is helping us

humility33:
Bro a striker that read moves should have go open up when iwobi was ringmarrowing wit the ball that birth the free kick

He was not a threat today i mean moffi

Iwobi was face down and dribbling everything that moved How can he be a threat when he had nothing to work with?

humility33:
Just when i start to enjoy onauchu and nancho improved play rohr made subs

Amongst the subs only Olayinka played well
Musa is finished
That marcus guy is juvenile player he came to enjoy him self

We played better in the second half i enjoy the play just that Moffi guy is not ready yet maybe he is carried away

For Musa dude has elapzed

How many times will you people judge a striker on an inept midfield

Ppogbae:
Chai, we are going to lose to a very poor Cameroon. NFF if this isn’t a wake up call, then I don’t know what is

The Coach is not paid, the players are not paid I see this as a charity work, na me waste my data watch this nonsense

Musa coming on in the 60th minute and Olayinka coming on in the 80th, make it make sense

Ppogbae:
We are pressing mpheavily right now. A goal is coming

How can I take this match seriously when the Coach brings on Musa in the 60th minute

I can't even watch football to get away from the mess called Nigeria

Nigeria is a nonsense place

Musa, Nigeria is a nonsense place

I swear Tijani is better than Etebo

Iheanacho wants to replicate his Crystal Palace exploits

jihday:
not you a Man City fan saying this, what has been his contribution? No pressing, can't run, misplaced passes, man isn't putting in the work at all plus our right wing is dead

Everybody knows he isn't the best at build up play, when you don't play to his strengths what do you expect? I said it before no striker will excel with Ndidi and Etebo combo behind him

The people criticizing Onuachu how many crosses has there been in this game, you play Onuachu as a half defender and criticize him for not scoring

Somebody said this Iwobi should play in a pivot

zoboizee:
Okoye is never an impressive goalkeeper. I stand on this anyday. When it's right time people of his like will be done with. #Fact. His Germany connection is what his helping him.

Okoye has not wowed me but no keeper is saving that

Rohr should be bold and ditch the 4-4-2 changing our whole structure because of Iheanacho is not worth it
