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

Peseiro will likely draft Aribo to replace him..

I would have preferred Onyedika. Onyeka is not as defensively good as Onyedika.

So far so good, Namibia women are topping the log. Naija bottom of the league.
If you don't Gerrit forgerrit

Ah, Aribo bawo. Onyeka can't shield the defence o

Joebie:
I watched the naija vs EG full match, and I don’t think we did badly. Also, I think the spate of substitutions in the team list leading to the AFCON may be a blessing in disguise. Alhassan, Onuachu, Moffi will all come good.

Observatiins from the EG game:
1. Osimhen will improve in his decision making as the tourney progresses

2. Zaidu is not fully fit. Peseiro should have played Bassey at LB. Bassey gives us better options going forward.

3. The Iwobi, Onyeka, Alhassan chemistry will improve and our forwards will continue to get good from the rear.

4. Iheanacho was highly needed in that game. He is the kind of player that mends things if all fails.

5. Nwabili was solid in confidence level. Will his confidence level stay up there against CIV?

Do you have a link where I can rewatch the game ?

All these ones Na initial gra gra


Underdog nor dey win anything

typicalgamer:


Normally it’s mostly our boys that gets snap up during tourneys like this

But now it’s any team that does well against us their key players get snap up by clubs

So are we now the yardstick like is this progress or regress ?? 🤔

Why do you say *US*. lol.

True, I would have preferred a midfield trio of Onyeka, Onyedika and Iwobi with Aribo on the bench. Kind of like how we played in the 1st half against Mozambique. Onyeka to be roaming to and fro and Onyedika shielding the defence.

minfelix:

does my comment sound defeated as the one you churn out day in day out here?.
our Game against Ghana in Kumasi shey dem beat us? im only saying CIV will obviously wanna boss the midfield, doesn’t mean they will beat us…we dominated EQG in first match wetin score end for?…oga me i cant give up and be doing olote up and down as you are doing your own

teats

Samueltemi337:
How many Italian clubs dey spend billions on transfer


How much did Napoli spend the season they won the Scudetto


Roma fans are asking for a top 4 finish and he couldn't achieve that all through his time there so he deserves the sack 100%

Nothing you sabi, billions, Napoli, Top 4,
Nothing you sabi,

infact I can't wastey time replying you again

akwesenana:


A goalless draw against the Ivoriens and a heavy win against Bissau should be enough.

There will be goals in that game
A goalless draw is highly unlikely

Team haters don land.

Mali should help score like 3.

MetalJigsaw:
If its Aribo then wahala dey o. I prefer onyedika.

Aribo and Iwobi lack workrate and agility. Peseiro shouldn't try it o.

Aribo get work rate o
Though I'll prefer if Onyedika comes in as DM and we push Frank to b2b, but I don't mind Aribo at all

M7even:


Why do you say *US*. lol.

Ai gone rogue 🙄

Penalty for south Africa oo,he missed!

Tau don blow penalty

I don nearly faint with Badbelle laugh

After one person go wan chook Osimhen talk. See how this one kill bird with shot, instead of back of net...

na which kain play be this one nah, if dem no wan play again make dem talk o haba

RSA vs Nig WCQ in June go tough..SA knows how to knock ball wella

My observations from our first AFCON game
Defence
Peseiro got it wrong here by playing two sweepers I.e Ajayi and Ekoong, who are poor in ball playing.I mean they are not ball playing central defenders.
Recommendation:He should pair one of them along side Kenneth Omeruo who is the only ball-playing central defender in the team because we need a central defender who can comfortably carry the ball to the midfield.

Midfield
Peseiro started the game with 3 midfielders;Onyeka,Yusuf and Iwobi which is a wrong midfield trio.He started Onyeka in the Defensive midfield role, when he should have been deployed as a b2b midfielder.This is because Onyeka to me is more of a box 2 box midfielder and is always on the bench for Brentford this season.He has barely clocked 350mins of action this season.
Recommendation:Raphael Onyedika should be deployed in the Defensive midfield role for he has been starting all games for Club Brugge this season, including in the Europa league.
He comfortably carries the ball from the defence into the midfield in a majestic way and with accustomed ease. the game against Mozambique.

Attack
He started Moses Simon on the RW instead of Chukwueze.
Recommendation:Chukwueze has a strong left foot and can comfortably shoot from the right unlike Moses Simon who has been playing on the LW for Nantes FC in .

If this is the same RSA that Nigeria will play in world cup qualifiers than we need to up our game oooo

This is where Jordan Tourinagha would have been effective. Na waya for NFF & Jpes

Aribo does well sheilding the defence. And it is not as if there's no Frank "the tank". Playing Frank and the other guy at the same time will be too defensive and leaving only Iwobi with the creative work against a team like Ivory Coast. Such is not advisable.

Maybe in another game. But as far as EG game is concerned, we didn’t NEED a ball playing CB.

Moses Simon had a good shot that could have been a goal. We have seen Simon play averagely even at LW. I don’t think it was a positional issue for Moses.

I thought Chukwueze was subbed in early enough to have made an impact

I didn’t see issues with our midfield. They were probably not played in their best roles but the midfield did very well to help our forward kill the game.

I agree we would need tweeking playing bigger teams. But I’m judging from EG performance
