@raumdeuter and @izzou......when are you guys submitting your tears to me? I dey wait.

Lana1:
I know Nigerian fans no too plenty for AFCON but we will need CAF to tell us how they allocated seats for this final. Orange shirts everywhere

I no even hear our signature drums and trumpets. Not an excuse, but prior to the game starting, some journalist said something about them refusing to allocate tickets to some Nigerians.

raumdeuter:


Our defenders and keepers were the best players all tournament

I only feel for the players like Nwabali Bassey Troost Ajayi Onyeka Lookman Osimehn Aina

Haller recovered from cancer to win the AFCON for his nation

Another confirmation that goals win you matches, and you need to outscore your opponent to progress and win the trophy.

If you like park trailer, it's a matter of time before you meet the opposition that will destroy your tanker.

Teams who scored more than us have spent weeks at home now

Shegzdave:

This same Iwobi, must be another iwobi from CIV

Misplaced es, loosing ball unnecessarily and lack creativity

Na the same one o.

Even while being defensive, you can still show some attacking intent such as not playing Zaidu as a wing back. Zaidu is useless beyond the halfway line, and Onyemeachi would have allowed us step up 10 yards

Although I am overall satisfied with the outcome of the 5-4-1 producing our best result in 11 years, in hindsight, Peseiro could have had a rethink for this game. Jean Seri is not your typical African midfielder. Leaving him free as Ivory Coast 3rd man was a licence for Ivory Coast to penetrate at will because Seri drops es over the top to the wings at ease. It's like a European team leaving Pirlo unmarked. Plus Seri is an old man that can be pressured easily. A midfield 3 with Iwobi on Seri and Aribo coming in as LCM on Kessie may have done the trick. In addition, Ivory Coast were playing two 35 year old men in Gradel and Seri, and a cancer returnee in Haller, so we didn't need to worry about overcompensating in numbers at the back and could trust ourselves more in one-on-one duels

Finally all Nigerians complaining about Iwobi know nothing about football. You expect a DM in a double pivot to stray from his pressing instructions, and expect him to act as an AM when he is in a double pivot against 3 CMs for CIV. Football is about triangles and there was never the third angle at the top of the triangle throughout the tournament because we did not have an AM. So those expecting AM work from Iwobi should shut it. The only triangles we had all tournament were with the fullbacks and the defence.

Only a mad man, or a complete neophyte will expect AM work from Iwobi in this set up. Iwobi played his role perfectly throughout the tournament.

.

Nigeria tried. Ndidi was greatly missed. We have a thin midfield.

UncleHaba22:


Rodrygo Looks like a player that will struggle outside Madrid sha



My Opinion Sha oo

He reminds me of Pedro of Barca we bought.

BlueMann:
Firing the coach turned out to be a masterstroke. The "youth corper" wey we be dey mock, don win AFCON

Lol

After Senegal scored, the level of disrespect towards that guy really amused me. You'll think Senegal were like 4 goals up in the first 3 mins.

Sad day for Nigerians/Eagles but CIV dominated and won. Deserve winners for me.

We go again next year though...

Some Nigerians are just annoying.

How can you even watch the match and begin to scapegoat Iwobi? The coach relinquished the midfield to Ivory Coast with the way he set up the team. There's no active midfielder of Nigerian decent that's eligible for Nigeria at this very moment that's a better er than Alex Iwobi at the moment.

Someone that thrives in a 3 man midfield, now has to play in a 2 man midfield and as a DLP. Blame the coach and the ghost called Osimhen.

Osimhen moving like lewandowski at this afcon but we are not ready for this conversation

Baba don use hardwork and gra gra cover some average performance

Should I also tell you he missed the most chance this afcon ?

Na striker him be ooo ,No be work rate we wan chop

I rest my case before I get arrested

iamoyindamola:

Very useless player

How many big chances did he miss during the knockouts?

Person wey dey on him own, wey dey isolated almost throughout naim you dey claim say "na workrate you wan chop"

Most of you people can't even appreciate performance even if it smacks you hard on the face.

Ungrateful lots!!!

Nigeria lost afcon and suddenly Osimhen is now moving like Lewandowski.

Una ehhh... Kaiii

Una go watch ball, see as Osimhen is always isolated upfront, no no nothing (that's aside being double marked) due to our defensive minded formation, yet he still try to work it out for himself.

Yet you call him ghost.... Lmaooo.

Some of Una na just livescores merchant Una be sha.

Lmao ,was expecting this as usual

Na only to drag players like aina and iwobi una sabi

At least I appreciated him against Cameroon ,but you no go see that one .

Call me anything ,the only players that shouldn’t be criticized at this tournament is bassey Ekong and that gk ,that doesn’t mean others where bad also .

andrewbaba44:

So you appreciated him against Cameroon now gives you the right to criticize him when he didn't do anything wrong?

If people dey drag Aina and iwobi, what any normal football fan would do is to defend them but typical Nigerian mentality, you have to drag one of the best performers just because one of your fave (Aina) was rightfully dragged ystdy.

Tuehhh!!!

What a woeful tournament from Osimhen. That performance just wiped 50million from his valuation.

andrewbaba44:

So those wey no bad deserved to be criticized because the weren't great like troost and Nwabali.

So in your dictionary, there ought to be criticism of those wey no bad too?
See wetin years of trolling don cause.

Omorr.... Na wa ooo

I should not criticize osimhen because of what exactly ? Lmao

He scored 1 goal for your info

He missed the most chances this afcon

You are the one with the typical Nigerian mentality where your favorite player can do no wrong in your eyes

Osimhen isn’t our top 3 performers at this afcon though

You just trying to relieve iwobi of the blames and scapegoating Osihmen. Same Osihmen that is isolated at the front and man has been involved in almost all the goals we scored in this AFCON.

Make it make sense senior man

Bro rest. Many strikers will struggle in this type of set up. Osimhen gave us hope and purpose up front.

See orange performance from 90 percent of the squad ,but I should not criticize African footballer of the year

Osimhen isn’t our top 3 performers at this afcon though

I asked you, how many correct chances did he miss during the knockouts (where it mattered most)


When we're always attacked and he's isolated upfront feeding on scraps, why won't defenders/keepers be among the top 3 performers?

Exclude the 3 man defence top performers (Ekong, Nwabali and Calvin).

Let me hear your top three performers aside those 3?

You see why I say you're a sofascores/livescores merchant?

You just quickly go rush enter app sharp sharp.

When everybody get orange aside defenders, anybody wey watch ball will know that it's the setup that is wrong except obviously livescores merchant

That you praise him before doesn't give you the right to criticize him even when he's right.

Praise him when he does right and critique him when he does wrong, simple!!

This your "you praise him, you dey praise him" doesn't exonerate the wrong criticism you were doing to him this morning

Know this and know peace
