His cross led to our goal. And his crosses caused mayhem in the box almost everytime for Egypt even though he could have done better with the accuracy of the delivery.

Just give it to the man. He did great today.

And yes Ejuke was good too when he came on but he wasted a beautiful opportunity set up by Nwakali.

His end product was abysmal sorry. Ejuke end product was much impressive in 20 minutes

zuchyblink:
Oliseh,Rohr and Eguaveon Never snubbed him. Who you be?

Ighalo was snubbed for over 3years after our game in Brussels against Cameroun. He was never called again until his numbers for Watford

zuchyblink:
Ndidi vs Egypt

Nooooo Zuchy... This is a better depiction. I have been waiting to use it in this Afcon.


Ndidi vs Elneny, Salah and the Egypt Midfield...

andrewbaba44:
Double standard people will not swallow their pride Wey big pass bag of rice

Instead of them to tell you that chuks didn’t perform as expected ,they choose to tell you Moses Simon didn’t have a good game

Shameless people

Jay Jay Okocha said Moses Simon was the man of the match but people here think he had a bad game. Between Okocha and a random random guy on Nairaland, who will you believe his opinion on football subject?

I so much love the Lamentations of our kenke eating bredas

mostob:
Let me ask you, how many goal attempts did we have within the time that Sadiq came in till the final minute? How many long balls were whipped in for him compared to Awoniyi who played more minutes?

You teii me

If you know say your team mate na Moi moi , u go give am ball.

His team mate's have answered your question.

I do not need to

Danielnino00:
Eguavon was very active on the sidelines today.. Even after our goal, the man was still wearing a serious look and barking instructions...Na proper coach..

Rohr own is to stand like Ekuke and be shouting "come on"..

I watched the first 10 minutes of the game and i said to Myself damn rorh has been holding us back for years

Na sentiments be their problem ,leave them

I respect some certain monikers and they are many ,they will criticize but if you had a good game they will praise you ,many of them have been praising Simon ,but the stubborn ones with pride will refuse

We sabi them

E better than to just balloon ball any where belle face to no one

Yes, but better decision making would have not gotten him into a position where he had no other option than to shoot

This will be the last time I will apologies to anyone who jumps at me again. I will not be manipulated to be the bad guy. Never!

TFLASHOGEE:
why didn't you mention his last match jump and pass analysis a man is as good as his last match not by 3 years ago Mr mobility wey no fit score tap in back don stif you dey talk mobility

You can give zuchyblink man to man marking ehn

Mujtahida:

Rohr was a poison. Killed the flair and vibe of our football with his negativity.

Did you listen to Eguavoen post match interview? He basically said:
We respect Egypt, we respect every team at this Afcon and so we will approach each game with seriousness and play each game like it is a final.

Rohr was just too cautious and negative. He does not know that we are a nation of hope. We have hope, that's why we can survive all the madness and hardship in this hellhole called Nigeria.

And so therefore when we play we play with hope. That's why apart from skills and talents, we win games. Rohr came and took that away. That man na mumu man (in Asari Dokubo's voice)

Gbamsolutely!

There were times passing to either Nacho or Awoniyi was the best idea but Simon chose not to..does that make them moi moi?
Your ignorance is amusing

Wait na.

Shey dia Skysport papis no dey pick wrong MOTM too?

Or dia Shearer, Owen, Keane, Etc?

Someone on Nairaland may pick a more accurate MOTM than a studio pundit. It happens na. Na platform be the difference most times.

SerVik:

Bro Aina was immense today.
Absolute beastly performance

Rohr would have started Shehu ahead of Aina
Damn...that man need to be arrested asap

JayromWrites:


Omoh e be like u watched a different match from loads of peeps


I no know wetin Simon need do for una again


E didn't have a jaw dropping performance but he was definitely one of the top performers today

That guy analysis dey always dey up side down

TheSuperNerd:


Nooooo Zuchy... This is a better depiction. I have been waiting to use it in this Afcon.


Ndidi vs Elneny, Salah and the Egypt Midfield...

Today's game again proves that Indeed Ndidi can never be overworked in the defensive phase of plays.

He can bear more than 90% of the defensive burden on his own.
The lad eats defensive actions for breakfast, lunch, brunch and Dinner!!!! He is the Defensive Midfield General. A real master of breaking up plays.

Never ever doubt his Industry. It is World Class and insanely high. Almost unlimited.

ChrisKels:
Rohr would have subbed in Musa

I tell u

Musa should be allowed to enjoy the bench and probably get to play against G. Bisau

daveP:
Nwakaliteees are silent. Wetin happen na?

Probably because Nwakali didn't have enough time to warrant full assessment. The AFCON just started and everyone cant play the same time. Let him have his opportunities like others.

JohnBullMySon:
I wonder how Pinnick will take the Criticism if Equavoen wins the AFCON and Peseiro comes to take over

Doluv and subzero will defend him seriously

As seen on dailymail

So many praises also for Aribo from British fans

Meanwhile shey we go still need paseiro like dis...d anti local coaches papi85, humility and co

Mujtahida:

You can give zuchyblink man to man marking ehn

He is arguing with Amokaxhi,Oliseh,Rohr and Eguaveon they all invited because they know he is good.

daveP:



Maybe Sudan can join you to be AFRAID


of Super Eagles. Cos the dear suppose dey their side pass.

Put ball for ground versus them and they'll fall like leaf.

PurpleHouse:
This will be the last time I will apologies to anyone who jumps at me again. I will not be manipulated to be the bad guy. Never!

Man you too emotional and weak. Nobody send nobody hear, don't be a cry baby. If person push you, push am back without looking for support always

Did you watch the last 10 mins of the game?

Nwakali created a big chance for ejuke with a beautifully worked counter from the right wing after he received a turnover from an Egyptian chance and kept the ball, feeding Ejuke who interchanged a pass with him again before Nwakali smartly sent him on the run with a beautiful through pass into space.

I wonder how you missed that. Coz you won't be asking this funny question if you clearly saw that.

Nwakali had a very good Cameo. Pressed well... and even almost bagged an assist. Respect the lad.

daveP:
Nwakaliteees are silent. Wetin happen na?

elyte89:

Still don't trust local coaches

Keshi won the afcon and start to use the super eagles as haven for his home based players and every kind of unknow players start getting call ups

So please it is too early for this Egbon

It's only on this thread I saw anyone critique Moses Simon, even on the man of the match thread in the front page, 90% gave Simon their man of the match.
It tells that some lads here didn't watch the game with an open mind.
Did you notice the standing ovation he was given by the crowd when he was leaving?
Okocha is a respected icon of the game in Africa, I don't think I can disregard his opinion to believe yours tbh.
