This is the best analysis 🧐 dropped here about our current campaign but hate won’t let most people see it.
Like the 7 points doesn’t mean anything luck played a huge role here not technique or well drilled plans

Ivory Coast wey get well drilled plans and technique… where dem dey now?

Icon4s:
Second round of the AFCON is always a different ball game. We have seen this play out over and over. In 2013 we only managed to score two late penalties against Ethiopia to finish with 5pts in our group and by the knockout phase we saw a different team. In 2021 we finished our group in flying colours but crashed out at the second round. AFCON history has taught me that the knockout phase is usually a different ball game and I usually go on the path of history. This team can get better at the knockout stage.

We are to play the runner up in the group of:
Senegal
Guinea
Cameroon
Gambia

Most likely to be Guinea or Cameroon.
We can defeat any of these two if we play to our full potentials.

I have a funny feeling that once we are able to score… the flood gates of goals will open.

chrisooblog:
My brother you know getting to 'semifinals of WC' automatically translates to winning AFCON naa!

Seriously speaking as much as they are favorites it will be interesting seeing how they cope taking the game to their opponents who will now sit back and counter like Morocco did at the last WC.

exactly

Na Morocco wey some people for here no allow us hear word na em DRC wan kill so?

charlesemeka85:
go test am

😂😂😂

Joebie:
Well yes. Makes us better prepared psychologically, for the next round.

oga u don dey change mouth na? Na una say we no go pass first round. Wetin happen ?

charlesemeka85:
This boy wey dey play ball like who carry shit for yarsh don score for banku republic

😂😂😂😂

MetalJigsaw:
Was he doing well before this tournament?

So does that give you license to insult him?

All those wey dey abuse Jpes since, make una no change mouth oooo… make lightening no solder una hand join una touch screen/keyboard.

Danielnino00:
Alhassan has been ruled out of Thursday game as a precautionary measure..

Peseiro will likely draft Aribo to replace him..

Source??

Blueelf:
L9lll

So some people think we can beat CIV at home and then by miracle defeat Guinea Bissau who best us in our own home previously?

When I call you people deluded, sometimes I want to feel guilty but then I read another unrealistic take and the guilt disappears

Y'all are deluded for Real. As in, your delusion is even bordering on mental illness

👏👏👏👏👏 Clap for your self….

Breezy90:
can we have it?

Super Eagles starting lineup v Equatorial Guinea: Nwabili; Aina, Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Zaidu; Onyeka, Yusuf, Iwobi, Lookman, Simon, Osimhen

The starting line up is not bad at all.

Nwabili starts.

ChrisKels:
This Ivorian team fit chop us like akara oo

Dem no dey play anything.

Joebie:
Thank u!

congratulations brother!!!! Wish you more strength and blessings!!!

gamaliel9:
Evidently, this AFCON for Nigeria will come down to PRAYERS, other teams pray too

Evidently, this AFCON for Nigeria will come down to HOPE, which is not a strategy in football.

The fear of Super Eagles by other teams is no longer there...now we fear meeting Senegal, etc

Please say “you fear”, don’t generalize your insecurities. It’s Eleven against Eleven on the pitch.

Starboytwo:
I still never see the team wey go beat us. We have the APOTY in our team.

Any team wey face us must shake.

You dey whine you nor see Osimhen??
Firstly, We get God for post.

Bassey, Big/strong/agile for back.

Lord knows who for midfield?? But attack is the FIREPOWER.

To be very serious, Iheanacho is the key, I hope he can be fit. Then won-daran.

It has been revealed already.

That’s the Spirit!!!🔥🔥🔥

Kog45:
I went into archive just cuz of your post and really surprised that the same Simon Moses was Nigeria best player at Afcon 2022 with a goal,assist and MOTM even made Skysports Afcon XI.....oga you are too harsh on him.

😂😂😂 Na Wetin I don em play recently na em I comment. That his performance was commendable 2 years ago.
I

MetalJigsaw:
Wetin the guy do again? Im no dey try ni? You ingrates...

When last did Chukweze and Lookman have a good game in SE?

All the Lookamans and the Chukwezes wey get higher profile wey una pack full team u no see dem criticize. Have they not neen worse than him? Nawa o

You too dey vex oga. No be lie I talk. Just honest criticism.

Kog45:
Walai Oga Truid if Nantes sees this your post na to sue you o😂

Na lie I talk?

daveP:
Simon Moses has no idea how the chips are high for him this Afcon. It won't be business as usual. I expect he'll be conscious of this and deliver. The focus may be off him, but personally, i never forget. We go dey expect a much better performance than the last one. Same for Samu

Moses Simon is the most annoying SE player we have, he can’t just seem to do the simple things. One on one with the on rushing goal keeper, rather than chip the ball; he plays direct at the goal keeper. Misses a simple penalty. Out of 10 crosses from the wing… 9 are rubbish. He can dribble the whole field; yet his final ball leaves a lot to be desired.

solonnachi:
You no even thank God say him club release am?

Now NFF can see the nonsense plan they and Peseiro made with inviting only 25 players. 2 injured. Moffi and Kelechi under probability. May God help us to scale through the group stage. Now think of it, if Iwobi or Osimhin gets injured, how it will look like.

😂😂😂😂. Panic mode!!! Oga relax Abeg.

Mujtahida:
Hahaha hahaha hahaha. High voltage negativity. People who view SE through the eyes of the Premier league will not find it easy

My brother… we are dealing with an EPL generation. Like we elders caution… make dem relax. Tournament football is unpredictable.

typicalgamer:
Na money change man city no be support

Man city would barely fill their own end on off seats on derby day if not for a very good Investment man city would be nothingham today

The investment idea pitch to the man city owner is buy our club and if you’re able to topple Manchester United just once that’s all the marketing for success you need and boom 💥 that’s how man city came to be

It’s not like city raised Gem from their academy so stop capping

My twin and aunt has both been a city fan since 07 so there’s nothing you can tell me about city

You just dey talk epistle… please read the context of my statement and get my point. Am saying when Man city was a useless club, did their supporters abandon them? They stood by them. That’s why you have a club today.

comodo:
Simple thing. Call up 27 players the stubborn man no gree. He wanted to shift blame to NFF, dem don kukuma comot hand early enough. Now we may end up with just 23 players. I really doubt if any club will release any player now.
Rangers will not release Dessers cos they are chasing the title. Montpelier will not release Akom and neither Ajax. We may be lucky if we get Orban.

una too dey panic oga. Calm down.

Joebie:
The truth is I cannot support an erratic team. A team full with surprises both positive and negative reeks of instability. Where excellence is absent, I refuse to be found.

Oga Joebie… The Manchester City you love today with all your heart… were a shite team not too long ago. If their supporters had your attitude… you won’t have a team to support today. It’s not all perfect.

MetalJigsaw:
No be say we no love d team bros

I understand you fully. Let’s see how it goes.

MetalJigsaw:
U dey fail to acknowledge say na Pajero dey there o

No matter who dey. Dem deserve our full support.

Icon4s:
I understand boss, I just chose to keep my hopes alive. This is the AFCON and it is the tournament the SE performs best. Some how I still feel this team will turn up.

Dem go turn up!!!

Marjoribanks:
I find it quite surprising that older folks here are pessimistic about our chances. I can forgive the young ones, they might not be accustomed to the Nigerian spirit yet.

Nevertheless, the results of the last AFCON group stage should have convinced you what a Nigerian team is like.
Nobody gave us a chance against Salah's Egypt. Some were even predicting 4nil etc.
We all know how that played out. lol!

My post is not about optimism! It is about history!!

You are a real fan!!!! There are few of us left who bleed green no matter what!!!

Philosopher1979:
Peseiro has been in charge of the team for close to 2 years and yet the midfield
and defence is suspect.
The team is still struggling and is not really improving.
We have not beaten any decent team and sometimes struggle to win poor teams
Under Rohr we drew with Brazil and defeated cameroon, algeria and even argentina in a friendly.
Under Eguavon we defeated Egypt and drew with Ghana away
Under peseiro we lost4 nil to portugal and we draw against horrible teams.
Apert from that his player selections and tactical decisions are very poor.
He is not even showing signs of improving the team. He should please try and do something impressive.
He does only a few things right (like osayi samuel in the team is good) but most of the time his decisions
sound very ignorant.

Alright bro. I get your point.
