Bossoflife25:
They have better quality? So why did they look ordinary now playing Benin that we defeated 4 nil?

I am not talking about on-paper quality, Oga. On the pitch, they demonstrated more quality than us.

And the fact that Rohr could get a better performance from his relatively poor team (on paper) against Congo, is another indictment on Chelle

Bossoflife25:
Even against Cameroon, the Congolese did not play anything.
Our boys were fatigue, and I also think something happened in that dressing room at half-time!

Maybe, they already know the Congolese fielded ineligible players or there was a dispute about that Lookman pass to Chukwueze that Ndidi disrupted.

Also the coach should have put more bodies in the midfield since Iwobi and Ndidi just played almost 120 minutes two days before that game instead of playing two strikers in the 2nd half.

Everybody is a genius in hindsight. Congo also played a game before meeting us (against a traditionally more physical Cameroun) so they were equally fatigued. They just had better quality plus tactical awareness and strategy than us.

Good game from Benin and Rohr especially in the second half. If not for wastefulness abi na bad luck from Tosin and co, they should have gotten something from this game.

Congo looked VERY ordinary. Nothing like the prime Barca dominance they delivered against us. Shows Chelle has serious tactical issues but we'll see what he does in this tourney.

Crazy if true

Lol. Are you sure you know what a Project chapter is? 4k per project?

ThunderFireAgba:
Bahiru is better AM than Iwobi 100million times! Wait till AFCON proper you will see the guy in serious action. This is just a friendly. Everybody dey avoid leg.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic 😁, but I am inclined to agree. Both as an AM and CM, I'll pick Bashiru at least for his work rate.

elyte89:
Egypt played d game as if it was an afcon final …and I can c many lapses in dt team…Dey shld watch out cos Dey might not qualify out of d group stage

Egypt was actually shockingly poor. On top of that, their coach adopted a defensive approach when DR Congo has already proven that the best way to beat the Super Eagles is by attacking them.

They won't go far unless Salah will work his magic consistently every game.

COOL10:
People can now see the importance of Iwobi. Intensity without creativity will lead you into the bush

Nonsense. The midfield today was a lot more organized than what Iwobi brings. Iwobi just can't control a midfield, simple. He makes good passes once in a while but that's where it ends. He can hardly withstand a press, make a tackle or take on players successfully to create chances.

I'm comfortable with an Nnadi, Onyedika and Akinsanmiro/ Bashiru midfield. Let's take Iwobi back to the wings to compete with Ejuke and co.

Personally, I'm deeply impressed with Onuachu's performance. His holdup play and general pressure is top-notch. He draws fouls and attracts defenders' attention to himself during spot-kicks, creating opportunities for his teammates to convert. Plus, he is much faster than he looks.

Our CF options should be:

Osimhen
Onuachu
Adams/Dessers

Honestly, I wouldn't mind an Osimhen/ Onuachu attacking partnership in a 4-4-2 formation with Onuachu doing the holdup play while Osimhen makes the runs.

Egypt don score us😁

semid4lyfe:
You're right about Maduka being a freeloader. For pulling such a stunt at this critical juncture, I don't want to see Maduka in the Super Eagles ever again.

Especially considering that he was playing in the German regional leagues when we first called him. He has benefited more from us than we have from him quite frankly.

Who remember say we get match today?😁

Reach out!

Still available

Reach out today.

Reach out today

forgiveness:
Somebody played ball for 130 minutes just 2 days ago but you're expecting them not to be tired.

Make una dey joke. Football is not easy and can't be played with mouth.

Because Congo played their own last match one month ago.

Fredrick!!!

Hardrive:
We can no longer rely on 4-3-3 that is what got us in this position. Revert to the formation that has gotten you the result.

With Iwobi in the middle or?

oloriooko:
What is happening to Look man
He's not been himself lately playing for SE
Lacks confidence when on ball, easily dispossessed many unforced errors, scuffs balls he shouldn't

What's happening?

I've been shouting this since. Keep Lookman on the bench for God's sake!

Lookman starting again. I don tire.

We finally need to leave Lookman on the bench. Forget about his CAF award abeg.

Now is the time to tighten up the midfield ooooo

Iwobi really can't play in a two man midfield. Remove Akor, bring in Onyedika, move Iwobi to AM

This game is very open. Goals must dey
