How? Is he super man? Who will create the chances for him?

You definitely don’t anything about football.

komekn:


No we did not.

He made one big costly mistake on what should have been a very basic routine save. I am not surprised by the match in was very lethargic he had nothing to do and lost concentration.

But we lost the game we became complacent and believed our own hype. It's the same thing we do we hype our player to high heavens.

This game was lost because we did not turn up with a WINNING MENTALITY.

Rohr looks like Klopp now compared to Eguavon.

codemaniacs:


the major problem we had was the referee...

the second problem we had was showing the Tunisians to much respect by letting them have the ball instead of closing them and attempting to win the ball back immediately...

If this is Eguavon is going to play against "big teams" then he needs to treat every team the same just like Marcelo Bielsa..

the third problem is goalkeeping..

the fourth problem was Ekong's long balls..

the fifth problem was Awoniyi, due to Ekong's long balls the Tunisians were always getting the ball back unlike how we played Guinea-Bissau and Sudan were they were passing the ball through the middle and through the wings..

the sixth problem was Chukweze, he was playing at the extreme end of his position instead of coming lower the pitch and switching with Moses Simon and he was also playing like he was the full-back...

TheGoodJoe:
Another Coach the NFF should give a shot is Marcelo Bielsa. The Coach who led Athletico Bilbao to the Europa League final, beating Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United along the way.

His style of football fits us and he likes creative brilliant player.

Report on Marcelo Bielsa's coaching style.
[b]
Bielsa's signature formation in his squads, which he made famous and brought to the front of the world's mainstream football scene during his coaching tenures in the Argentina national football team, Chile national football team, Athletic Bilbao and Olympique de Marseille, is the 3-3-3-1 formation.

For this formation, the players are: 3 defenders (1 líbero with 2 stoppers at each side), 3 midfielders (1 central midfielder with 2 lateral-volantes at each side), 3 attacking midfielders (1 enganche and 2 wingers at each side), and 1 centerforward. 3-3-3-1 allows great transitions from defending to attacking, as many of the players used in the formation can perform both defensive and attacking tasks. Moreover, it establishes superiority in numbers in every part of the field, since with this formation his teams could defend with 7 players, attack with 6-7 players, or protect a scoreline by overwhelming the midfield with 6 players. To use 3-3-3-1, all players have to quickly set to attacking positions when the ball is in the team's possession, and all players have to aggressively press and recover the ball when it isn't in possession, so it requires great teamwork and understanding between teammates.

This signature style of Bielsa's has had so much influence in the football scene that many present coaches, former players under Bielsa's command, are heavily influenced by the style, such as Gerardo Martino, Mauricio Pochettino, Matías Almeyda and Marcelo Gallardo. Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola credited Bielsa as his tactical inspiration. Jorge Sampaoli has been described as a 'disciple' of Bielsa.

Bayern Munich and former Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola called him the "best manager in the world" in 2012.[/b]

Nostradamus1:

safarigirl:


I no know for you

Feel free to go and console him since you're so bothered by it. Be like na you like am pass

gustav25:



The lord's work is done and your pained soul won't have any rest tonight brethren, relax and sleep for tomorrow your pains would be like a fresh wound again. Laughable how they thought it was a destiny for them to win and now they can't accept the reality

Stormtrooper11:


Nigeria lolz.

The moment I saw Ejuke was not in matchday squad was when I sensed something would go sour today.

fabyom:
Musa for Aribo was the silliest substitution in football history! How I wishUmar scored that goal? Umar is a baller!

forgiveness:


There were too much space in the midfield. Ndidi is not super man.

daveP:
they fought but not like the Tunisian that were determined from the start to outsmart our tactic. But all the same, kudos to them. Badluck follow the team join.

zuchyblink:
It is better to play rubbish and win than to play entertaining football and lose

COOL10:
Results are the most important thing in football.
As much as I love Tiki taka football, if such good football play doesn't result in goals, it does more harm than good.
Johan Cruyff said it, Guardiola said it, Xavi said it.

We rely so much on our wing play and that cost us today.

Give me results gaddammit

darkelf:


They are already arguing about who to face in the semi-finals

Even that World cup, they won't qualify



Icon4s, Mr Patriotism, where at thou.

As far as I am concerned, the only monicker here who predicted a 50-50 game was Elyte89 and forgiveness

The rest was talking about which players would score B4 even match start

Meliforme:


It did hurt us.

Kog45:
Oga forgiveness,there is no need to argue,some of us have pass this level....truly Awoniyi had a very poor game inclusive Iheanacho but how will you be arguing with someone that said Ebuehi would have done better than Aina...Aina who was the best in that defense.

Good that we lost than to lose to Ghana...time to pray for injuries free for Victor Osimehn,Leon Balogun,Odion Ighalo,Onuachu,Dennis and possibly Lookman....I think time is too short to get a keeper against Ghana but I want Uzoho in goal.

I heard this outsmarting from the panel and I asked someone a question? How smart were day? We had loads of chances to take the game. Eguavoen actually outsmarted them, not the other way around. Even with a man down, we kept creating chances. We were just unfortunate. I think the Tunisian's are getting more praise than they deserve.

Congratulations they won but they were totally outplayed as far as I am concerned.

Icon4s:

HahaHa so predictable as usual. You didn't have the balls to come here when we won games. You are definitely an enemy of progress. I hope this doesn't translate to your real life outside.

Even though i am sad we lost but there are positives to take into the WCQ.

WE MOVE!!

safarigirl:



We did not play good football today at all

We did not play tikitaka to begin with

We did not play free flowing football, so, me, I don't know what this your post is about.
