In contrast, his style of caging his players cost him the game.
The players themselves said it that he gave them freedom, meaning that there was little guidance coming from him, only first eleven, position and substitution.

To be fair on okoye, defender failed to close down that shot on time.

I don't understand why are dropping all blames on him.

Aina and Ndidi should be getting the stick for failing to close down too.

Are you sure you saw the distance of the shot ? Lol

For those trying to defend their lightskinned boyfriend by rubbishing Uzoho the truth is that Uzoho has had brilliant matches for us but Maduka has never had one
I can still remember some of Uzoho's "saves" at the 2018 WC. Even a guy beside me then remarked that it would take the grace of God for him not to concede. Maduka isn't reliable. He is mistake prone. I wanted to recommend Akpeyi but I watched one of the training videos, and what I saw from Akpeyi!!!, lemme just leave it cos he never featured. Make l drag only those wey play.

Right now the position is very open. I still believe in Maduka though. I've seen some of his saves. He has talent but lacks confidence.

The frustrating thing about yesterday is that we didn't get outclassed. I still feel we might have gotten something out of the game if Iwobi didn't get sent off.
Harsh sending off and all but I'm still mad he got sent off!
Bringing Iwobi on was not a bad move tbh. Getting that red card is just....unexplainable!

Maduka is a young keeper who gets harshly criticized by most with an agenda.
Dude loses concentration at crucial periods sometimes but he's definitely not as bad as they are making him out to be. He's young and will get better.

Death?


Because of nonsense football?

E no better to go play for where dem born you than to come and play for Nigeria? At least, if na England, worst comes to worst, dem go call you monkey, but wishing death on someone?


People in this country are very sick and they sadly, cannot afford therapy. Just wild animals everywhere
What?
The europeans do much worse; death threats not only to the player but to their love ones. Cuntish humans are everywhere.

Nothing is wrong with that. After all, Nigeria has always played with vibes.

The problem is when there are flaws in the positions themselves. Not being flexible enough to change them when necessary too.

Uzoho put in big performances in the World Cup qualifiers and the World Cup proper especially against Argentina I don't know why you are putting it in asterisks, Maduka Okoye on the other hand is judged by potential and other keepers we have in the squad and not on what he does in the field, he has never impressed me or proved why he deserves the number 1 shirt na just hype and vibes

Oga even with Ighalo and Moses nothing would have happened in that game... We didn't lose the game for a dearth of talent or experience. We lost because players got lazy (probably because of Rohr syndrome where everybody knows who is gonna play) and poor coaching anticipation and flexibility.

Las las Musa wey get experience pass everybody you see him contribution for the game?

Sincerely though I have not seen an eagles game where Maduka showed that he has what it takes. 60% of his games, he hasn't touched ball. The remaining 40%, every two shots they have scored him one.

Remember, we had two defensive off the line clearances yesterday where Maduka looked totally lost (cc early first half, Ndidi off the line).

For Uzoho, I can remember at least 3 games where he gave off prime Alisson vibes. Against Brazil, the guy looked untouchable. Tunisia at AFCON 2019, we were bashing Rohr for not playing him throughout. There are more but this is just off the top of my head.

How many chances did we create self? We lost because Eguavoen stuck to a tactic the whole world had dissected and laid bare, and he was too inflexible to adapt, the same problem we complained Rohr had. It was an open secret Simon was our talisman, I wonder why he didn't change things up.

BTW, leaving Ejuke out of the matchday squad for players like Musa and Iwobi is really a war crime that deserves flogging. At least a consolation is that yesterday Eguavoen was shown why he should never make such blunders again.

We had 13 shots in the match. We kept creating chances with a man down. Iwobi brought in energy and keep in mind it was an attacking sub. You still had Chukwueze and Simon on the pitch.

So how do you want him to play Ejuke along with Simon and Chukwueze?

We played well yesterday. We got at the Tunisians. We did not take our chances. Then the red card made it difficult for us. Haba.

Iwobi was playing well before the red card. So how can you criticize the change?

My brother, losing to Tunisia that lost to Gambia, had their coach out by covid also almost 12 of their players were out due to covid to, we also had an extra day of rest and didn't get to travel like them is a hard pull to swallow ...

Ndidi was left as a lone DM, it's not surprising Tunisia's goal came from the midfield, albeit a badly exposed midfield.. Why didn't Eguavoen bring in Onyeka to help out Ndidi? as well as take control of that midfield? He kept throwing more attackers yet the midfield was neglected..


Whether Ndidi was left alone does not change that we had the chances. The coach did his job.

Uzoho had a major save against Brazil. the remaining two actually struck the bar and wasn't saved by him, though he showed good diving skills. Maduka had a major save against Tunisia in 2020, against Sudan and against Tunisia yesterday. Almost everyone forgot the yesterday one.

When Ighalo and Moses were there Tunisia were never a match for us. Imagine Afelokhai as our goal keeper with Ighalo and the two Moses coordinating things in that attack

Were not playing street football. In professional football, a lot of technicalities come into play. Coaches target a scoreline at times. Some times specific instructions must be given. You can't just allow players to play as they like all the time.

We don't have stellar options to pick from in the GK department. Let's stop acting like Maduka came and replaced a Manuel Neuer or an Allison because he's half German.

Good everyone hope we are all out of the ICU grin

But seriously speaking yes yesterday hurt but there will be better days that's how life rolls.

More importantly I want to appeal to all of us fans and supporters (even trolls grin) to please do better. All this toxic online/offline behavior has to stop. Maduka made a mistake yesterday yes but no matter how pained you are why wish death on the young man? angry Why abuse and insult Safari girl based on her womanhood what has that got to do with football? Is she the head coach that put Maduka in goal.

Let's all learn how to manage success and defeat. Not become insufferable and arrogant when we win or pessimistic and abusive when we lose let's do better please.

NFF should retain Eguavoen as the coach. We weren't lucky at all in this game. Besides that goal against maduka didn't help matters.
I am so proud of these boys. Imagine if osihmen has been in this squad esp concerning area duels. Mind u, those critizing chukwueze forget that chukwueze function efficiently when osihmen is around due to his aerial prowess. Guys chill, we have a squad period.

So if osimhen no play chukwueze no fit play well ?

For me, the coach takes all the blames.

You know you have become too predictable. You know Moses would be marked. You know they will defend tightly. Why start with the same team, same approach, same tactics, same system?

What happens to tweaking the system to take the opponents by surprise? What happens to using Iwobi, Aribo and Ndidi from the onset?

What happens to stsrting Moses from the bench and start with Ejuke or Onyekuru?

Being too predictable with a predictable system is a recipe for failure. Because soon, your opponent will decipher you and demisticate your system.

We have Uzoho...

Maduka is similar to Joe Hart they are both error prone and error prone goalkeepers make you lose matches...

Loris Karius never played a serious match for Liverpool after the UCL 2018 final errors he made..

for now, Maduka must be dropped..

Eguavoen's tactics is more of like "Go into the pitch and do thy best, play this position. If you tire or underperform, I'll change you".

Rohr had a tactics, one that we grew tired of. But I don't think we can move forward with Eguavoen, honestly. Players need to be told what to do at times. Freedom can be detrimental. Let's see what Peseiro brings to the table. And hopefully it will be alright.
