Then shut up and collect the insult like a man.

Shebi you fit chest anything?

It's all banter, including the insult.

Mujtahida:

Being a realist does not mean that I'd become negative. Professionally one is trained to see loop holes, faults and flaws but balance demands that one does not stay negative. It's the mindset I want to understand, you come in when we lose and have a good laugh. Then stay away when we win. It's not the SE that is the target. It is we, fans of the SE whose joy he despises. I like how Icon4s puts it: it is his failure. Kpom

darkelf:


Old man

Don't ever in your miserable life call me a failure

We banter here and I have never insulted you. So please Sir, resect your old age.

Don't let us turn this thread into something chaotic.

I have warned you Sha

otokx:


Even in FIFA or PES you have alternative strategies.

dijon:
What is the true picture of play? Oga, is football no more a competition? Is either a team wins or lose

We were in Afcon to win and not to come and play sexy football with no directness and no shot at goal for a whole half and expect to win.

Please did we go to Afcon to party or jamboree.

We were simply not good today and the better team won clean and fair.

Hope we learnt another vital lesson of football today.

superbloke:

Iwobi was the plan B. He was about to switch things up and then the red card happened. It was just an unfortunate situation.

Mujtahida:

You are 20 right?small poking your finger dey shake, you can't spell correctly again.

Famocious:


True.. Osimhen has also adopted similar tactics..

Odunayaw:
Particular formations limit your strategies. Make una no de talk like there are 1000 moves one can make.

Kog45:
Imagine my favorite player is not listed in starting XI and I want my country to lose and after that match I would be here talking IF...is that not mental disorders.

TheGoodJoe:


If you are truthful to yourself, you will know we were clearly the better side.

dijon:
Yes brother, i expected the coach to tweak his tactic at the beginning of that second half because the Tunisians were draging the game to suit there purpose and we played into their hands, they were not in a hurry to counter us and had clip all our dangerous outlets and were just waiting for that one opportunity to score and thereafter bring their playbook time wasting and frustrating football to play.
Our coach should have yanked kelechi off and push Aribo upfront and bring in Nwakali or onyeaka to shore up the midfield and take over the midfield lost to them at the last quarter of the first half.

mostob:
Truth can be bitter bro. You sef should change. There is nothing good in celebrating a failure.

darkelf:


Aunty cry me a river

Drool - mistress

drDoom3:


It was too late.

Chuks should not have started that second half. The midfield had been overrun a long time ago, it was glaring to the eyes.

When you see your tactics neutralized in the first half, you change them at half time and come in with new tactics. We came into that second half with the same "long ball to Simon and inshallah" strategy and got punished for it. As a coach if you see your strategy being neutralized on pitch you change it there and then self, you don't wait until half time.

darkelf:


Aunty cry me a river

Drool - mistress

dijon:
How? Please dont give me theory...i want you to be factual with statistics base on the match and not any clubside match.

Watch the Red Card that finished our eagle

Barryseal:
Okoye shouldn't come to England. It will end in tears, deep down he knows he's not good enough for professional football.

darkelf:


Bros, I want even celebrating failure but was trolling

See my emojis and you'll know

I warned them B4 and during the tournament

It's good. Make everybody know him level. The SE don't have talented players and even pep guardiola would struggle with this team

Odunayaw:
How do you call that panic. We were languid in the first half and we settled back into recognizable gear before shit happened with red

drDoom3:


There is no way we are underestimating any team. We have a team that is grounded, a solid coach who knows what he's doing, no star player stealing the show, and no COVID scares so far. We will go far.

TheSuperNerd:
Eguavoen tried but he didn't diversify his tactics enough. Our tactical approach was too easy to analyse. It worked against Egypt because they didn't see us coming. But we repeated same thing vs Sudan and it became our pattern.

Our most tactically balanced game came against Bissau. We hurt them from various parts of the pitch. We created so many chances from different attacking scenarios. We showed a different approach tactically yet Eguavoen didn't think it wise to take a little bite from that and mix it in with our main strategy so as to counteract the obvious plan of the opposition to try nullify that main strategy.

Today we didn't even have a shot on target. Not one. We didn't create anything also through the middle yet Eguavoen benched our highest chances creator. See ehn.... football is not about sentiments or listening to what a majority say. You go with the facts and best analytical decisions.

Amunike is still my #1 pick for the SE job. More tactically diverse than Eguavoen. But yes, Egu tried.

codemaniacs:


Chuks is a winger so he doesn't really need support from the midfield he needs support from the fullback playing his wing but Nigeria was more focused on Moses Simon wing instead of using both wings and Chuks was playing like the fullback today...

Kog45:
Sir,Ejuke right,nothing to say cos Sadiq that was nailed prior to Tunisia match but today he was highly impressived....Ejuke performance today would have been 50/50.

BARAJ92:
HOW IS THIS A RED CARD OFFENCE

safarigirl:


Na you dey cry because of small insult

Spineless failure, hang around and collect your insult. You worked hard for it

mostob:
bro...for me, na that Algeria match o. I said let me go urinate so I can settle down for extra time. I entered inside only to see my brother almost crying on the floor with his hands on his head. I turned to the TV and I saw Mahrez jubilating. Chai...I couldn't eat that night.

TheGoodJoe:


It was never a red card offense. Just a very unfair call.

Mujtahida:

Where did you see energy bro. We were limp from the first blast of the whistle.
