Joebie:
You can have world class players and still be disorganized

o yes! But have there not been a great improvement in the team style of play?

Rockyrascal:
ebuehi will have to contend with Jamilu Collins.

Semid4lyfe, please add this guy to that great list, to make them four

The word "busy" is commonised in today's world. But believe me when I tell you that my absence was necessary for a while. But it's been awesome.

Good to see you Andrew.... I will check your room to see how tidy it is...

Welcome back Nerd, now we are in for epistles and memes

Lol.... One at a time Sir Rabzy. Ohhh those Epistles will rain for sure... Stay tuned my good man...

Luckyroro:
Welcome back bro. You were dearly missed. Tbaba1234 please help me answer this question cos I seem to be confused? Please why is Ezenwa number 1 goalie? Or goalkeeper numbering isn't effective for who is first choice? He never manned the posts at the World Cup and now still he is number 1. Please how?

Wearing number 1 jersey doesnt make you first choice

TheSuperNerd:


He contributed an assist today My Man Kelly. Chill a bit and celebrate the win before we dissect the team further, you dig?

my main mannnnnnnnn. Come on man. Good to have u here. Oya nak us your delicious analysis and don't forget to drag Southgate to the mud.

nairalandankrah:


Back with a bang

With a big bang my man... Omeruo with the bang and I'm just riding on it into our NL mansion here in CR7 style (Please someone hide this from Icon79 ).....

terzurum5:



Go back and rewatch my goal

bro...we already had 9 corner kicks prior his goal...
I was getting furious...
the German national came to my mind...
how they make use of corner kicks like penalties....

we really need to keep it up...yobo was very dangerous with this then...
I must commend him...omeruo did well

nairalandankrah:


One game at a time Bro... The most important target here is to win, and I'll take a win and a clean sheet above anything...
Dont worry about your so called big teams.. When we JAMB them, we go WAEC them...
Until then, enjoy the win.. Grab a bottle will you.! Cheers

Lol

ChrisKels:


Semid4lyfe, please add this guy to that great list, to make them four

you're just being naughty.....
very naughty....but anyway you were right about Moses Simon...
only God knows what Henry's offense is...
dude may not kick a ball all through this afcon

ChrisKels:


Mumu boy!!!!!! Where av u bn bro?

Chris Chris!!!! Chris my man!!! The Man with ivorian and Senegalese citizenships...

Our resident Ivorian-Senegalese Advocate!!!! With that your francophone twisted scalp... Oya bring it here for mild neuralysing...

I totally agree with you bro. But how can shiit be clean?

Abusule007:
If this is how we'll be playing 1-0 and win the nation's Cup, I think it's a good thing.
At the end our goal keeper would have kept clean [b]shiit [/b]and we would have scored only 7 goals.
Quite a funny record

Moses Simon, one word - Beast

Aina will play Top level football


Meanwhile, I have tried to see most of the matches in this tourney and I can say I have yet to see that team I feel is better than the SE...This is a solid team as it can get..nd a lot of people seems to have confidence in this team moving forward... That is a good thing, very very good...

And ighalo should have scored one goal today, on the long run he is not very very very reliable What if we needed that goal? Hun

Anyway solid display from the EAGLES

Rockyrascal:
i was expecting another quick change after the coach subbed off iwobi. I was thinking man will bring in Mikel and sub off Simon so that Chukwueze can play in his normal position....he ended up featuring onuachu.

Exactly. I don't see why he put in Chukwueze in the middle when he should have subbed of Simon. At least Mikel has midfield presence and would stabilize the midfield. Rorh got that change wrong, hope he's taking notes sha.

Joebie:
What do u like about our style of play?

our passing game have greatly improved and there is also discipline in this team. No be all this our slow type of football wey them know us with....our main challenge now is creating chances to score.

Heyy! W'sup Nerdie?!

Where have you been hiding? Anyway, welcome back to the jungle… we mish your contributions


O pari

Joebie:
I do hope our return to AFCON will mean winning the cup again.

Honestly, I still don't know if we would win but I would love Mikel's retirement to be marked by another Afcon Triumph. We have the quality but the key is in Rohr's hands.

Good to see you too Sir Joebie. Your room looks really organized... Headed to Andrew's...

Eseose9:


I saw it too

Iwobi was everywhere, apart from some misplaced or hurried passes here and there he always made himself available to receive passes in the middle. I'm sure he would have more touches than anybody else despite playing for 75 mins. And he's also looking like our best long range shooter at the moment too.

This Ugandan team dey worry me small sha..

i believe he left Simon in the game because of the energy he brought to the game and maybe the great support he gave awaziem going back and forth.

Uga vs Zim 1-1. This Ugandan team na full of carpenters and bricklayers lol

So many people here are just been emotional.

I started Moses in my lineup and they were all hell out cos their favorite player was omitted.

AFCON is a tournament and not a league. You can only win by been defensively strong and Moses Simon was there to provide cover for the defense and he did it perfectly well.

The team played better today. I think the only missing link is the CMF position. Mikel should agree to play there.

I'll like us to keep that shape for the last group dead rubber game against Madagascar with few TWEAKS. AKPEYI for the confidence sake, Mikel for Etebo, then Henry, Victor and Kalu can lead the attack for proper assessment.

.... ...... AKPEYI........
Aina...... Kenneth...... Balogun...... Awaziem/Collins
................ Ndidi........ Mikel.........
Henry........... Iwobi.......... Kalu
................. Osimhen..........

Congrats to the guys for progressing.

Worry wetin? Na negative football dem dey play

That Humility guy is the one talking that rubbish. I would have banned him if I was the moderator here.

Many would have done the same to him Buddy.

Since we’re on course to win Group B, we will face a 3rd placed in either groups A/C/D

Here are the possibilities based on current trends and how I personally feel each group will end:

Group A : Most likely Zimbabwe. I’m not entirely sold on Uganda but I think they’ll edge the Zimbabweans. DR Congo is too poor to muster up a point. We’ll get a clearer picture after the end of today’s fixtures.

Group C: Kenya or Tanazania.

Group D: South Africa. Namibia won’t even smell a point.


Of course this is premature. However, based on current trends, I could see us facing Kenya or most likely South Africa in the round of 16.

I can say it with confidence that we have one inconsequential Martch ;

Rohr should put Musa and Etebo on the bench ... let others come and play ... they are on one yellow card each ....


... my regards goes to the fitness traininer of the team. Our boys are well drilled. Despite the climatic condition ... they played like gladiator to the end .

BascoVanVeli:



Where did you sneak in from?

It would shock you but you were the first person I saw on walking in... It is so good to see my main man Marvellous Basco still kicking on just great...

Come get a hug Mon Ami.... (Mind not Safarigirl staring at us)..

Omeruo has always been good in the air, right from the 2009 U-17 Fifa World Cup. Remember his stunning header against Germany? He almost did it against Burundi.

Simon may not have been fancy, but he brings workrate to the right wing. He was always going to play 90 mins.
Samu was brought on and moved to the middle mainly so we could hit them on the break.
I'm surprised Rohr was brave enough to play him there as I've said it's one of the reasons why dropping Nacho wasn't a bad idea.
Mikel would've stabilized the midfield true but we were defending deep anyway so Leon could just float the ball long for Onachu to knock down to Samu or out wide to Musa.
