Honestly.
And I have never taken his evil predictions here seriously. And I never will.
It's something to be ashamed of, says he's trolling. If I've not lived through bigger defeats, then this one would hurt me but I have. What beats my imagination is how someone can be so consistent in going negative. When we win, you won't see him. When we lose, he laughs. Omo

We can never go far in any tournament with Amaju Pinnick at the helms of affair.

He's a politician! Their interest comes first before any other people's interest.

I'm pained!

How else could he have read the game?

He made the changes early. They were right changes. He brought in Olayinka and Iwobi to put pressure on the defense. However, the red card disrupted it.

You guys we played a man down for a long time. I think the guys did well. It was just an unfortunate game.

When did he make the changes? Before or after they scored?

Sleeping with girls means staying up all night and being jaded before the game the next day. That was why they lost their zip and energy compared to how they were against Egypt, when they were first onto the ball in every instance.

I think we showed energy today. Everyone. From Aina, Omeruo, Ekong, Sanusi, Ndidi, Aribo, Iwobi, Olayinka, Awoniyi, Iheanacho, Sadiq.

This is literally all that played today and I can attest they really showed effort.

I do not like people who resort to trolling their team after a loss.

It is such a weak mentality, such a loser mentality. It must be tough going through life, always expecting to lose

I want you to be truthful for once, pls highlight or mention one instance apart from Sadiq side kick at goal from a through ball in the second half that was counted as shot at goal

Super Eagles were not good enough today, Tunisia game plan was excellent and well executed. Did you see Moses, Chukwese or Awoniyi do anything important to effect the game today.

Oga no be by your man city football theory....we were outsmarted and predictable. No plan b tactic.

I prefer you answer that. You are talking of an offensive change. That does not guarantee an error at the back.

The timing of the changes was still early.

That’s true but he played badly in that game compared with today’s game.
forgiveness:


I disagree. Iheanacho ought to have come out before the second half commenced because he couldn’t link with the attackers due to Tunisia’s overwhelming control of the midfield and he couldn’t no longer press due to the yellow card he had.

you're right that Ihenacho couldn't press due to the yellow card but he can finish so its either him and Awoniyi come out before the 2nd half or Awoniyi comes out before the 2nd half and Ihenacho moves to the main striker and Onyeka moves to Ihenacho's position...

Nigeria's midfield trio of Aribo, Onyeka and Ndidi none of them must never ever be benched and Nwakali should be coming on for Onyeka or vice-versa..

Chukwueze should have been replaced by Onyekuru..

Musa needs to retire so that Amoo, Lookman or Dessers can have space...

BTW, the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. Peseiro might end up being worse

Man, he is too predictable.

This is why I was asking about our plan B yesterday cuz I knew what the Tunisians would do.

“What happens next is that I’m the interim coach and Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

“I will go back to my position and allow the NFF (to) make a decision on the way forward,” Eguavoen said after the match.


His interim duty is over. Now the NFF needs to make the decision if he will continue or not.

The red card gave Tunisians the win...

Maybe you guys need to watch again, Nigeria did most the playing, miss clear scoring chances, goal keeping error gave them the win, Nigeria kept pressing with 10 men, that share will and tenacity was beautiful to watch...

Nigeria did not loose we were poor, ill luck, but the team will grow in character from this...

I can't agree less.

We stood a better chance of bouncing back with 11 against 11. Also if we had a good striker at this AFCON it could have probably been a different story.
I can't wait to have Osimhen back. We have managed Awoniyi and Sadiq enough. And sorry they both are not up to the mark.

As for Maduka, it was just a matter of time for him to be exposed. He wasn't tested at the group stage. He is still very much work in progress.

By and large, there are lots of positives to be taken from our outing at this AFCON. It has really shown that with very good tactics this team will perform better.

Sad we lost, but shit happens in football. Just one of those days. We have to move on.

We did not play good football today at all

We did not play tikitaka to begin with

We did not play free flowing football, so, me, I don't know what this your post is about.

The second paragraph of that post will solve your misunderstanding.
I used the first paragraph as a form of illustration.

Intense, productive wing play is what we're known for. Cage our wingers and we're destroyed.

Sir,NPFL keeper is the answer cos we still have Enyeamas in NPFL but imagine picking John Noble a third keeper with Enyimba just like having Ezenwa then who hardly played for his club.

We lost quality keeper the day Ikeme was diagnose with cancer but instead of deep searching we went for Uzoho who was keeping in 2nd Segunda and later 3rd division Okoye....I can say it anywhere that super eagles really helped Okoye career,nothing special about him.

If we believe we are lacking quality outfield players in NPFL but not keepers.All they need is coach Amusa Adisa treatment for Enyeama,Ejide and Aiyenugba but Alloy Agu is not ready.


I agree with you without any reservation. That Alloy Agu is a scam.

He should be relived of that job. He wasn’t a good keeper in his days then how can he discover talents?

Dude is our major problem. The same way keeper messed us up in the last tournament is the same way we were messed up today.

I understand you. Iwobi and Olayinka coming in meant he was trying to play through the middle since Simon was already caged; the long ball to Sadiq was also spot on . The red card just disrupted everything.
May God punish that ref
