All of you guys bashing Sadiq... Was he not the only player today that offered anything in the attack?

safarigirl:


We were just not the better team on the day

Forget one shot on goal. It was a moment of brilliance.

We did not have a moment of brilliance

We did not score

If you lose by a goal, you deserved to lose on the day

It is what it is

There weren’t the better team also

Sadiq

We didn't deserve to go out now...
But aii

Fine boy okoye, eshe gan, daalu.

Okoye and Iwobi.. take heart

Darkelf, your detractors have been put to shame

You said it that Nigeria would be lucky to make it to the QF. You have been vindicated

Next time, learn to respect people opinions without resorting to name-calling.

Scam-guaveon

lloydtruth:

Osihmen wouldn't have be as woeful as Awoniyi.

Awoniyi was off today ,but I don’t think osimhen would have made us win this Baba

Joebie:
Sadiq is officially our #2 striker

una don Dey change mouth

No walaha

Time to go face other priorities in my life, commenting on this game would just increase my pain. See you guys in March. Gracias.

Shey una see why uzoho better pass Okoye


and ebuehi better pass Aina


make Sadiq or play any game for us again

All Rohr detractors

andrewbaba44:

Like I said, moment if brilliance

They had a player who pulled one out and we did not

That is the difference here

I go bet for that one

Barryseal:

You think world cup sure for you?

Gustav goan and call Broda Afobear , both of you must do your lords work tonight,

they were busy buying that Covid shit, now it hit them hard with our One way coach

Calamity maduka!!!

Am coming home tell the world am coming home.

After a phone call from Mr President our boys that looked like the real deal during the group stage suddenly turned pussies.

What hapin?

Dannyxy:

Exactly

You know the deal

Baba should just deactivate comments for his own good. Infact leave social media.

TheLoneCitizen:
My opinion: both Iheanacho and Umar Sadiq cannot thrive in a two.

I knew how good Sadiq was, but he and Iheanacho can never play well together as they don't complement each other.

Hahahahhhahaha! Stop counting your chick before .....

I told you don’t allow Tunisia score first.

The useless coach saw his midfield dominated by Tunisia but he had no plane b.

Benched Onyeka throughout the tournament.

The fact that Two coaches of different nationality and tactical leaning chose him means that uzoho might be worse

TheSuperNerd:
So much for not changing a "Winning team"

My patriotism and support for this team is undeniable and it is even clear in my message before this game but I did warn us that sticking to the same tactical approach will not be good for us if we must progress in this tournament especially seeing that our tactical approach denies us better Midfield control and only offers us a threat via The Simon route via the CBs' long balls.

I was concerned about our predictability. A midfield 3 of tactically balanced players would have offered us something different and widened our tactical threat in offensive transitions taking the burden off the Simon route.

It is not rocket science...

I did say, When it is technically and tactically helpful, you can indeed change a winning team.

This 442(sometimes called 4231) approach when applied right with a Gen gen press is workable against certain teams but today, even our pressing game dropped and is a far cry from the intensity we saw in the Egypt game.
Added to the fact that this approach of ours doesn't give us the kind of Midfield control we need especially in terms of chances creation and play switches.


I cried out that we need to find a way to have all our weapons on the pitch together to offer us better tactical balance but nooooooo.... Some weren't seeing the big picture. They would rather have this player or that player because he has done well in the EPL or whatever league even when he doesn't bring what we need to be better.


Well, I wrote about learning from Algeria's mistakes. Their decision to stick to the same thing that was clearly not working or that could be found out with time.

You don't change a winning team, they said.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it, they said.

But what most of you never realised is that even when we were winning, we still showed marked signs of weakness in our Middle game dynamics and in our predictable approach using the CBs' long balls to Simon (especially) which was always gonna be neutralised by a tacticallly good team.


I hope this teaches a lesson. Judge football with the big picture in mind and not with mere sense of likes or dislikes for players.

See you all in March.

I am here now nerdie

Lolll

I said it against Guinea, that I'm more relax with Uzoho in goal....he sure me say he go push that ball go corner kick

Osihmen would have won the match for us, even Sadiq would have won it if he started the match.
Awoniyi is not just a carpenter but an amateur carpenter.

CornOak:
Nigeria got carried away with the covid report.

that was the greatest mistake. To equalized North African team not always easy . we had two chances via Sadiq

minfelix:

He might have not saved the two that Maduka still saved after that one

The boys gave their all especially playing 10 against 11. This is soccer for us all, that's why as a fan, every game us a 50/50 especially in the knockout phases of a competition. The omens were just against us, I am not convinced Iwobi's infringement deserved a red card and is this only me, Maduka definitely kept us in the game with one or two saves but he should have done better with that goal, anyway what do I know? We move!!!!
