Gives result ke. With time we would have been blown away. It is just a matter of time for fake thugs to get exposed.

Keep in mind we made 9 points in the group stage and were unfortunate today. Do not make it what it is not.

Even you knows we are fiercer today and most teams in Africa will find it difficult facing us. Eguavoen had about a week with the boys to prepare. Rohr had years and took us no where.

You be camelion changing your skin colour to suit the terrain of the narrative.

You have no principles.

Thats it bro....wetit concern Mourinho and beautiful football..."oga play rubbish and give me trophy....Di matteo use defensive football carry champion league grin...but anyways let still support any coach coming in especially the one giving us what we want

SE lost the match because they wanted to play defensive football.

The plan was to score first and defend which is also the plan the Tunisians came with and when the Tunisians noticed it and also noticed the inferiority complex of the SE they started to attack..

When Ighalo made his error it was Nigeria vs Ighalo, when Mahrez scored a top class goal against Akpeyi even though he kept us in the game it was Nigeria vs Akpeyi. Sadiq Umar struggled and even though we won it was Nigeria vs Sadiq. So why is it that now that we see something way worse we are making excuses The boy made a monumental mistake and that's that.

The hypocrisy that this moment is bringing up is alarming. If that goal was scored in street football u would be angry at the goalkeeper.

Sincerely I am also surprised he's not receiving d same bashing akpeyi received on dis thread..truly its good to be loved

Going forward.. Chukwueze needs to b excused for a while from d national team and focus solely on his form and club football..I can't remember d last time he played well for us...amoo,lukman,ejuke and co can fit in for now

I feel the loss is painful because this was a good team, quality attacking and strong defence, how many times did opposition even enter thier box or ever controlled a game against them?

This was a good team, football should have been more kind to them, no luck at all...

10 man down they still controlled the game, man.

Our midfield was quite thin
Our game was predictable
Nobody is to be blamed for this loss
This was our slowest match and we tried the same pattern over and over again.
I have always been weary of overhyping our chances but then this is football.
Happy that Sadiq has redeemed his image.

If you were an academy U13 football player and you missed that angled ball you would get slated.

Sadiq just wasn't his usual lethargic languid self and did a bit more running ( albeit it very slow) he showed real determination he huffed and he puffed but could not blow any house down.

Cameroon was a quality team we met before we played Algeria... Algeria won us with an individual brilliance football, not like there was a onet-two play or a shot that led to goals against us.
Rohrbof 2019 is better than Rohr of 2021, but the fact remains he is still the Rohr we employed, meaning he lost something somewhere that could still be found and make him the Rohr we employed... anyways that brings to fact that we can't get a perfect coach.....even if we get herve Renard, I'm sure his first "as usual first time new coach"impression will becloud our reasoning and when he stays 2/3yrs his flaws will begin to reveal

Do you know he was dragged so hard on Twitter, insulted so bitterly, that man is now a Twitter topic?

Akpeyi no see the kind of insult wey Okoye see on Twitter, take it anywhere. Somebody they were insulting even before he conceded, the negativity on him was so bad before this game, someone had to address it on Twitter. Imagine after he conceded that goal, how much worse it got.

Nobody for insult Akpeyi reach like that for that Twitter. Even if I want to insult somebody, if I check am everywhere see say the person dey see fire, I go calm down. Especially if the team lost.

I fit even dey vex for the person, but I no go just talk, because what will my one more negative comment do for the player? The biggest defeat is defeat, anything else is overkill.

I don't know why someone will be complaining that a player is not getting enough hate. Make dem kill person on top football? You would think we will be speaking out more against hateful comments, but we are here saying "Add more fire, the fire is not enough"

He said Osimhen will score. Did he talk about the level?

The point is, Osimhen will do nada for this game. EOD

We go over the top .

Osimhen is very good but he is not a world class striker. He has come back from a very serious injury how will it affect his game❓

Osimhen is a very direct fast and determined striker he has very good positioning , ultimately aggressive and with fearlessness , has blistering pace and good finishing and has aerial ability too. But he is not filled with trickery, deception and skill.

He, I am sure would have been told to limit the aggressive play and be careful not to aggrevate the injury and or see a repeat of it.

How will that affect his game going forward because aggression is a key part of his game with pace and determination. So he will have to have controlled aggression.

It may be that lghalo is still much more relevant than many think . We also have Dennis the most inform striker at the moment 8 goals in the EPL from 18 games is not easy.

Both of them would have made a difference in my opinion. Unfortunately we will never know.

I have been a fan of Rohr but I think firing him was the best move..

Eguaveon did get the team to play with more urgency and to believe, that cannot be underestimated. To pay an unknown coach big money at this stage seems illogical...

All these woulda, shoulda, coulda won't change anything .History books would affirm we lost to Tunisia..
It's crystal clear Eguavoen and his coaching crew were outcoached. He failed the one real test the team faced in this tournament. Right now ,I think we should stick with Eguavoen and get him better assistants. Hiring Peseiro would be doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result..

Perhaps, Denis could make a difference on the wing but the coach killed the game yesterday. He was tactically inept.

If it’s by goals, Awoniyi with 9 goals from 16 games is the most informed striker in Europe.

To be honest, Okoye messed up big time. It was not even a rocket but the dude lacks experience.

However, I reiterate the coach is to be blamed because the midfield was exposed from the blast of the whistle but he did nothing to change it until we were a goal down.

Osimehn, dennis, ighalo and victor Moses are still needed in this team. But, we must first address our Midfield. We have to select a balanced midfield/formation

The midfield wasn't exposed...

SE were defensive .

The reason for the Gap is due to Ihenacho and Chuks not tracking back quickly anytime SE lost the ball.

Aina was made to attack and defend that wing due nacho and Chuks lack of pressing and tracking back so anytime Aina lost possession there was a gap because his the one that will also try to defend it..

Sacking rohr was unnecessary, now that deed has been done, one thing we should know as super eagles fan is that we should allow our coaches continue when they are getting result, forget about the style of play, I wish we can allow Eguavoen continue, his style of play is also good, we can never have a perfect coach or perfect squad never!!..just as we wanted Rohr to be perfect on all ramifications...we saw sweet and sour football under Rohr, let get ready to watch same under Eguavoen or any other new coach we wanna employ


Mope he should go, yesterday just show my fears, we had been happy with his style, that we seems not to see the reality on ground, before the Tunisia game

When it became glaringly, that Tunisia had read, and study the Eagles well, first half alone should had show Austin his game plan isn't working, and should had twerk the formation,

I watch just the first half, that's where I stop watching, the one that pains me most is the point Man leaving his center role to the flanks, who then now received any ball into the 18 yard


somebody says he was playing the Dick formation like man united coach, and since that formation did not click in the first half, why not switch to pussy, or ass formation, by making his wingers interchange wings at will,

Take it or leave it; Eguavoen got outcoached..

The 442 is outdated and 442 not only isolates our wing forwards leaving them to dribble into culdesacs, but we lack in the middle both on the defensive and creative sides...

We entered the tournament as underdogs so our group opponents had no idea was brand of football we would play. After the surprise factor was gone and the spotlight pointed at us, then it became a different story..

how did their scorer saw space to unleash that screamer, even at that, why not do something to close that space on-time
