“I can tell you we struggled a little bit with the weather, but in terms of ball possession and movement, I think we were very impressed,” Eguavoen told NFF TV. “Winning this game is a very good thing for us.” Eguavoen added: “As the game progressed, you could see fatigue started setting in. So the ball movement became a bit slower. “But whenever they recuperate, they always go out there and do exactly what we want them to do. “But in front of goal, we are too few. That’s something we have to work on too. Because crosses are coming in well, ball possession is good. “Playing to the sides, which is our strength, is very good. But arriving in the box with fewer players is not so good. That’s what we are going to work on in the next few days.” FROM SOCCERNET .NG 2 Likes |

Got banned unnecessarily but we move. Like Eguavoen's ideas so far. I think he is getting the teams where he wants. However, they need to get up to speed fast. Looks an interesting progress. 1 Like |

drDoom3: Stop capping Doom. The pass was not long. It was more of a chipped overhead pass into space for Osimhen to run on to. I analysed that move here on this thread after the game. I praised Aribo's Performance and picked him as my MOTM that day but he still didn't conduct the game as a genuine Playmaker would. He did his best alongside Onyeka to give us strong footholds in the middle game but nothing more. Below is an extract of it... TheSuperNerd: So cool down on the subtle agenda. Aribo is gold. I have analysed his strengths already and where he can be super effective for us but playmaking from deep and conducting is not one of them. Happy Weekend. 2 Likes 1 Share

If Eguavoen can see what I see and play Aribo in the #10 role, this issue of few arrivals into the box when chances or crosses come in won't be much of an issue. Aribo is very adept at contributing to an attack overload in the opponent's box from his position between the lines in the final third. With Aribo, we can be sure to have at least 2 or 3 players waiting to pounce up top. Hope he considers this and don't play Aribo too deep in the middle coz yesterday's practice saw Aribo play deeper.

mkrest:I did not call for Ighalo's Inclusion but rather exclusion. He retired and should remain retired. However, experience is still very important and helps with team coordination. Teams like the Swiss National team do not have "World class players" but are a big threat to the biggest teams in the world. 1 Like |

The egypt national team should not be a problem for now. Our problem right now is our coach crew to they have the emotional intellegence to do the right thing. Do that coach crew have what it takes to do the right selection ie the first eleven with any external interferance from any mummy G O. Do the back up crew have specialist like nutricitist, video review expert, stewards, cooks psychologist e. t. c A model that only the morocco national team have in these tournament. 5 Likes |

The horns are ready and the fans are eagerly waiting to cheer up their favourites. It time for CAF African cup of Nations. With all the controversies that have surrounded the game from the Covid 19 pandemic to the issues from the host countries. I think it will be a good tournament. Great tournament are always full of controversies that's the elements for greatness most times. Every CAF tournaments will most times not be given desired relevance by the foreign clubs because the African nations have not really come to appreciate the importance of these tournaments. It up to us to brand the tournament to be highly desirable. Let appreciate the marquees that have given their blood and sweat for this event not at the CAF award night alone but in every aspect. Let them be highly involved in subsequent event, an ambassador of the events in every facet of their careers. Let them mode the young to play in future Afcon tournaments. Now to the events starting in few days. The tournament will be without big names, however I think it going to be a really good tournament. I do not think big names will win this tournament, but the eventual winner will grow into the tournament without big names. Somehow similar to the 2013 event and how Nigeria grew into the tournament and even though they struggled in the group stage. They eventually switched it on in the knockout stage. Knocking out ivory coast and Mali and lifting the trophy. Football today had gone through a series of revolution in tactics and technology and i feel this time around the impact will be felt in the tournament. Nigeria might not have the fire power it used to have upfront, but I. Feel they have got enough to do well and challenge the best team, motivation and drive certainly come within and it only takes a spirited player to win trophy. I hope someone like kelechi iheanacho can dig deep within and find the inspiration to drive the team. He looks a perfect match for cup events only if he can stay disciplined. Ekong may not always be consistent at the back but he's got a good personality, so is Ahmed Musa. The wingers still have a lot proof. I feel they are all deadbeat without end product. Always going for personal glory that pays off in one out of fifty games. Only when they understand that team work surpasses all personal glory will they know the true nature of a winner. Good players only doesn't win tournaments but with the right attitude and personality Nigeria can really set the pace. Good luck Nigerians. 7 Likes 1 Share |

JohnBullMySon: Omeruo was one of those that used his real age at the 2009 U17 world cup, that's why he is still lasting and strong for about 13yrs now in the colors of Nigeria another real small boy spotted at the U17 world cup was chidera Eze, during the 2013 WC, e pain me that boy no translate into super eagles Omeruo is one quiet personality in the eagles fold otherwise he should be a commanding captain in the eagles of today 2 Likes |

Icon4s:the mentality is ‘we’ve always done it and we can still do it’. Even in year 2000, nobody gave them any chance in that final plus they struggled through the tournament but on the day of the final they played their best game and should have wrapped it up by halftime. |

Truly they are the team to beat. No team in Africa presses like the Algerians and they are targeting a world record in terms of the best unbeaten run for an international football team. Italy holds the record currenly at 37 matches undefeated before they fell to Spain in the Uefa Nations League semis late last year. Algeria is on 34 games unbeaten. Who says they won't equal it by the end of the 1st round? Shaa, time will always tell. ![]() jihday: 4 Likes |
