Fame and fortune has gotten to his head

Now, let me wait for his fans to cry so that I can warm their tears for eba

One problem with this team is that individually to a man, in the final third the decision making is almost always extremely poor. Sadly on the rare occasion where the decision making is right the execution of the final ball or shot is guaranteed to be atrocious.

Big name players who are all deep down chronically lacking in confidence once they put on the Nigeria shirt but obviously having to put up a brave face for the camera. The manager takes the full blame for this, as it's his shoddy selections, tactical preference and application that has so drained their confidence.

Alhassan was the best midfielder on the park and he wasn't even invited in the first place.

They know more than anyone else that they won't be doitagain if it means winning this cup. This is going be a long tournament for the fans albeit chronologically speaking a short one for the team.

I was shocked when the commentator said the biggest player on the Equatorial Guinea team plays for Las Palmas. The rest of them play in second and third division teams.

Their forward Nsue who terrorized our defence plays in the Spanish THIRD division as a RB.

My whole body just weak.

But Equatorial G. has had the same first XI for the same 3 years. Team chemistry will always trump having a spattering of “top names”.

At the end of the day, they are still professional players. The gap in pure ability from say Prem vs 2nd division in Spain isn’t as big as some people think.

I have been saying it, I have never been impressed with Osimhen's performances in the Super Eagles. A player of his Caliber shouldn't be caught offside that number of times and that clear chance, haba. What a miss. This was a game we could have easily won.
We go face CIV.

21 goals in 28 appearance


If he easy enter pitch go do am

I agree.with you on the offsides 100%.

On a lighter note, who saw that beautiful dribbling from Onuachu? He's not so bad with his feet after all.

that's a skillful stricker not Sadiq.

What are you saying bro

Oasis007:


Yakubu is better than him abegi.

Dis is osimhen first competition…so it’s unwise making comparison…he is yet to impress in a full blown competition and him don Dey play like mumu already …he better give himself sense and play well for d country

Where are all those camelots saying Equatorial Guinea will be smashed ? Reality don set in abi ? Charlie , come see The black stars in action today with Starboy Kudus ...not some low skilled pay day footballers

Ivory Coast , time to finish the Italian job

Ivory coast will put them in the coffin and then guinea bissau will put the final nail in the coffin

I think the players are not disciplined.

Which kind head this man get sef

Going forward, we need to adopt a new approach to team call-ups.

The coach must first determine how many players he needs in each department and then seek for players to fill up the slots.

Enough of these lopsided call-ups because we want to field our biggest European-based stars.

If we need seven midfielders, invite seven midfielders regardless of whether they play in the Mongolian ninth division.

Oasis007:
Rashidi Yekini of blessed memory, is incomparable to anyone yet.

Just before our match today, I watched Yekini's goals at Afcon 94. He was exceptionally good. He missed many chances against CIV in the semi finals but damn he stamped himself on the tournament.

How can Osimhen miss that kind of chance? EG had only one chance and they made good of it. I'm tired of small teams pulling their weight against us. Haba na. Yes football has changed but it's still football

The players Jpes initially left out will all come good. That’s the result of hunger. Don’t let any player feel unchallenged.

All I know be say I no go use calculator sha. If them wan come back house make them come

Poor decisions in the final third ruined us. That Match was winnable by atleast 4goals to 1.

It’s the small teams (not São Tomé grade) that always trouble us under Jpes. And that does not guarantee we will do well against big teams..

Yusuf and Iwobi were unarguably our best players today.

Iwobi??

But some people here will fight tooth and nail against the invitation of someone like Nwakali because he plays in the Spanish second division despite the fact that we are in desperate need of creative midfielders.

And the weeping and gnashing of teeth resumes

GMBOFASIA:
Jpes isn’t the issue here imagine that one on one osimhen missed will jpes enter the pitch to score goals

Oga the players fumble no mean say coach sef good

Until the tourney finish, I’ll save my assessment. Argentina still won the WC after losing their first match to KSA.

We just need to grow well in this tourney.

Blueelf:

And when he scores the remaining 2 again cote d'ivoire you will die of heart attack

Now I can rest

My work here is done for today until the next match

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This kind of results is what gives other team the morale to challenge us.

Overall wasn’t a bad performance. The transition from defence to attack has greatly improved. However our forwards need to be more assertive in the final third and be more clinical in front of goal. We would have won this match easily if not for wasted chances.
