dkay51: I commend greatly the work put in by Simon, he worked himself out and it is commendable. but as far as impact is concerned, many outperformed him. What will you say to Ndidi, Iheanacho, Aina, Omeruo, Aribo, Ekong. Aside the first two that i mentioned, the rest are listed in no particular order. 1 Like 1 Share |

Who else is happy? Rohr was an impediment! The old man stalled Eagles growth for 4years. The boys played like true Nigerians. Nigerians cherish good football and the boys dished it. Sleek passes, accurate long balls and good wing play. We can only get better from here. Soar super Eagles 23 Likes 2 Shares |

komekn:Kelechi was there to partner him na. At a time during the game, Kelechi was even ahead of him. When Kelechi went off, we revered back to 4-2-3-1. Austin must have noticed how isolated Sadiq was upfront which is why (I think) he brought on Iwobi. You could notice We kinda start pressing when Iwobi came on. 7 Likes |

komekn: Awoniyi did not press high. His pressing was targeted and he had Nacho to help too. In fact, Nacho pressed more than Awoniyi did. What Awoniyi did very well was hold-up play and ball recovery. Also, Egypt were not heaping pressure on our defense in the first half, we were the ones doing it to them. When Sadiq came on, they were desperate to score so they pushed forward and we sat back. In such situations a lone striker is allmost useless, especially against four defenders singlehandedly. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Also why is no one bashing Simon for not squaring the ball in the first half after Aribo laid it on a plate? Why is no one criticizing Chukwueze for such a poor game by him? 3 Likes |

Simon had a better game than Chuks. Then for the attacking in second half, it was Ejuke shouldering most of that responsibility, though wasted. Overall, this Selfishness Thing must be discussed asap. They should show them some Emenike-Ideye Clips if need be. Nacho is clinical abeg!! In that same position, I'm not sure anyone else would have found the net. All those Corner Kicks too..... 2 Likes |

No one is bashing Awoniyi for not being alert after his header was saved off the crossbar. If he didn't turn back and start celebrating, maybe he would have been able to poke in the rebound. Why Ejuke? 1 Like |

daveP:not necessarily a 4-1-2-3 we can just find another partner for Ndidi and move Aribo forward. For instance today, when Nacho came off,Onyeka or Nwakali will just partner Ndidi while Aribo moved forward 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: Like I said pre-game... I also hope Aribo is licenced to get forward a bit more and cause an attack overload alongside Nacho and Awo today when we are in attacking transitions and when crosses come in. Eguavoen did exactly what I envisioned. Aribo!!!! Chaaiiii... what a player we have in that lad when he is Played close to the box. His beautiful headed pass to Nacho was highly intelligent and totally caught the Egyptians off guard. Where did this happen? Aribo was right there causing an attack overload for us IN THE BOX alongside Awoniyi who went for Simon's Cross which fell to Aribo and which he intelligently touched only once with his head for a pass to Nacho who finished with aplomb. I said that Aribo will be key to us not having a problem with numbers arriving into opposition box coz he will be there complimenting the presence of threat the other forwards will create in the box. Omo.... nothing gives more joy in-game than seeing what you have seen analytically from a distance play out right before your eyes with success. Aribo is Gold. Preserve that lad. And let him retain the licence to bomb forward into or towards opposition box in our attacking transitions. Beautiful!!! Thank You Austin Eguavoen and Salisu Yusuf. Thank you ooooo This is the Super Eagles we have been screaming about. Not what Rohr the Virus served us all this time. 19 Likes 2 Shares

komekn:I take your analysis with a huge pinch of salt. I think your prejudice is coloring your views. I rarely accuse commenters with prejudice or hate but how come you criticizing Sadiq who came when we were doing more of defending than attacking and praising Semi Ajayi over Omeruo who had a superb game? Why wouldn't Ajayi do more when as a defender he joined in to strengthen our defense against the Egyptian attack? Semi the foreign born over the naija born players abi? There's a disturbing pattern which is congruent with your manifest live for foreign born players over local players. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by drDoom3(m): 8:24pm On Jan 11, 2022 |
Nacho is too heavy... He is not mobile enough. His stamina too is poor. His first touch naturally is not bad, but when he gets tired it becomes a disaster. He is now not mobile enough to recover after a poor first touch. Guy is a liability after 60+ mins in a game. However his best attributes are just so good. His shooting is one of the best I have ever seen, even Awoniyi commented that Nacho is one of the best shooters in the history of Nigerian football. Once he gets the ball on his left foot anywhere near the penalty area, with little space he will miss maybe 1 or 2 in 5. Just get him a slimmer of a chance. 4 Likes |

mostob: In the first 6 minutes there were three long balls straight to Awoniyi. Throughout the game when Omeruo was in trouble he went long Knowing there was an outlet and the outlet was Awoniyi. Awoniyi is not Drogba or Lukaku but he showed good hold up play and pressed from the front he was pivotal to how we played. He made it very difficult alongside Moses for Egypt particularly in the first half to get any Rythm. Our Midfield worked their socks off . Again Awoniyi was pivotal to that. Imagine Sadiq had started you think we would be celebrating.❓ Nobody thought to give a long ball to Sadiq like they were doing continuously with Awoniyi. WHY Nuff Said. 1 Like |

The Moses Simon of Nantes finally came to the Party Moses Simon was the most impressive of our Wingers today. From an analytical point of view on the defensive side, we knew he would be busy helping Zaidu with curtailing Salah but some points in the game, Zaidu handled Salah on his own and Simon had even more influence on our attacking transitions through the left (Salah's wing) than we had through Chukwueze on the right (non-salah wing... trezeguet was there). That was crazy. Moses Simon stunned all of us. All of us. He played like a man reborn and out to continue the tradition of a Moses tormenting Egyptians in every generation. Moses Simon is a strong candidate for MOTM but he sits third for me behind Aribo and Iheanacho. Ahhhh.... I never even drop full analysis and I am already waxing lyrical. Chaaaiiii... What a game. What a Victory!!! 19 Likes 2 Shares
