CornOak:


The back passes were annoying. Ndidi got frustrated at some point. Hopefully, he comes good.

They all have their all. On to the next game.

andrewbaba44:


Ejuke is a gem

I want Ebuehi to start next game also

safarigirl:



SuperNerd, please


Thank God you're his friend, tell him to stop keeping ball in our half abeg. Other players are moving forward, Nwakali dey give foolish back pass

No even try put he and Iwobi in the same sentence, except you want to compare how good one sub was and poor the other.

The only person that did worse than Nwakali in all the subs was Sadiq

TheSuperNerd:
All these Nwakali slander. Is it not the lad that had given 3 accurate long balls in this same half and even had a driving move just now setting up iwobi on the wings?

His distribution was very tidy and he alongside Iwobi made us keep the ball more in the middle.

We struggled to do this in the first half. Iwobi and Nwakali steps in and we were neat in pass recyles but ofcos people that don't know ball must slander.

Superficial observers.

Joezinho:
Nwakali just came into this game to put pressure on the team. Eguavoen should stop getting too sentimental. Why didn't he bring on Frank the Tank instead of this back pass specialist? Because the only reason he made the squad is out of Eguavoen's love. Nothing else. Ndidi was frustrated with him at one point.

Oasis001:





Rest.

Mujtahida:
Me ooo, I don't have confidence in Okoye. He's too erratic. The other goalkeepers must be really bad for Okoye to be benching them.
Guy just tall, fine but his goalkeeping skills is suspect.

Let the ladies take him abeg

Tellwhat:
Osimhen and Napoli really mess up

Osimhen suppose dey light up this afcon.Most likely would have scored a brace or hatrick

I hope our next match this Sadiq chops bench for the entire 90mins

Also if Egypt draw or lose against guinea. I hope we see a totally different starting lineup against Guinea Bissau. I have a feeling that Ejuke guy is a gem. Would be nice to see Ejuke, Ebuehi, Frank, Olisa ndah, semi ajayi and onyekuru

TheSuperNerd:


Oga leave Osimhen who is not here at Afcon2021 and focus on Awoniyi. AWO needs your support and prayers to keep doing well at this tournament okay. So throw your weight behind him as the tournament progresses. Na wa ooo

Joezinho:


Baba I just checked it now.

Didn't even realize we are playing today. Let me watch the game. Heard Bruno scored the goal.. I pray they don't end up breaking our hearts.

Omanambala:



Of course this is not true because we seized control of the midfield when be was on.

Omanambala:


Look at this walking contradiction ; how many times did Nwakali lose the ball, give us numbers, you zick olz bakzard ! Nwakali lost the ball only once , you spiteful soul!

Omanambala:


This is pure emotions speaking not based on true assessment of the match. Nwada, go and watch the game a second time....lol

Subzero047:
Chukwueze scored today but he has been having a very disappointing tournament, Aina bombed forward countless times today but he didn't look once to combine with him

Omanambala:



Aina , while full of energy could be a little sluggish and lackadaisical in decision making. While he is okay and could do the job , I personally favor Ebuehi.

Omanambala:



From my own view Okoye is very shaky.

JohnBullMySon:
He has started behaving like Ejuke.

elyte89:
Nwakali is good in stabilizing a midfield to protect a lead against another top playing nation at d crucial stage...however when it comes to giving d attack options..baba no b am..aribo is better in dt aspect.. Good game anyway..onto d next one

TheSuperNerd:


Lana, that backpass you call foolish kept our possession and allowed us rebuild again. Unlike rushing buildups and losing the ball unnecessarily.

Also, he didn't even give too many backpasses....

Nwakali nailed 24 accurate passes. 16 of those were into opposition half and only 8 in own half.

So explain Lana, how was he backward thinking?

You see I expected this mob mentality gang up against Nwakali but I am ready to dispel the fallacies many will bring forth today.


And understand one thing. I DON'T EVEN KNOW KELECHI NWAKALI PERSONALLY. It's Osimhen I know ooo... as for Nwakali. Never spoken to him. But ofcos some of una no go believe.

16 passes out of 24 accurate passes into/in opposition half and 3 long balls accurately delivered 2 of which set up Iwobi for a cross and Zaidu (I think) for another cross from both wings.

We were tidier in the middle with Nwakali. That is the truth. Anything contradicting this is Caps coz even the stats show I am right.

kellycute:
exactly. Some people don't know how to watch ball at all.
