PurpleHouse: SE wasn't predictable, SE allowed the Tunisians have possessions which gave them confidence and opportunities.. then another issue was Awoniyi was non-existent which is also due to the Tunisians having possession.. Tunisia came to sit back and defend against S.E but it was the S.E that was sitting back and defending.. S.E also had a potential penalty which VAR didn't review... It was as if the referee was against us... S.E did not start with the same approach, same tactics and same system they used in the group stages... In the group stages the SE were closing down opposition players from the moment the match starts but against Tunisia the S.E didn't close them down... |

TheGoodJoe:The first half was a disaster. The Tunisians would have scored within the first 10 mins. We only started playing and pressing hard when we were a goal down. The powder puff over confidence killed our boys. They expected to win by walking around the pitch in the first half. 3 Likes |

I was expecting our coach to try a plan B against G. Bissau, like 352,343 formation for subsequent matches but he was more concerned on giving everybody playing opportunity than tactics 1 Like |

codemaniacs:This is so on point. You really watched the game. Kelechi and Awoniyi were strolling around the pitch in the first half. They didn't trigger the hard pressing which was the advantage of playing with 2 strikers. 2 Likes |

Tunisia game plan was jam-pack the wings,sit back,control possession and hit on counter. When they discovered that our goal keeper is a broiler they started shooting from all angles. If not our general team play that denied the Tunisians from shooting we would have been trashed |

Barryseal: Another player I failed to mention in that comment was Chukwueze.. he was also non-existent and not pressing. they were showing the Tunisians too much respect by sitting back and defending ( and strolling like you called it )... sometimes Awoniyi and Ihenacho tried to press but the other players were "strolling"... 1 Like |

Odunayaw:It was that hard pressing style that won the hearts of people. Every watcher of the game crowned Nigeria as champions in waiting because of that energy which we brought in the group stage especially against Egypt who we pressed to death. It's perplexing we played the first half as if we were jetlagged. The Tunisians traveled by road and air through 1000km. But we were the ones jetlagged. Incredible stuff 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: Thanks TheGoodJoe I won't be dignifying anyone here with responses. I no get time to dey point finger when the team lost, because once again, fans do not have any say on who plays what. And if I support any player it is because I want to support the player, everybody has who they stick their nets out for in one way or the other, and each of these players have their faults. The abuses and insults are expected, when it comes to football, men really show how emotional they can get, and their rage is rather blind, so, the attacks are things I associate to the male folk Everybody go dey alright eventually. Worse things have been said of my person on this thread, and as long as I am here, worse things will be said. They need a punching bag, and it is easier to come for the most vocal female in these situations. 3 Likes |
