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The 442 is outdated and 442 not only isolates our wing forwards leaving them to dribble into culdesacs, but we lack in the middle both on the defensive and creative sides...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

forgiveness:



Apart from saying there was no gap, I agree with the other point you made.

do4luv14:



I disagree with you, why was the center open

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

codemaniacs:


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..

Barryseal:

Okoye in goal for Gabon would have conceeded at least 5 times. Am I lying?

do4luv14:




Thank you,

and instead of the dribbling inwards, from the approaching of the 18yard box, they will rather stay on the flanks till they got there, then attempted to dribble in, Plus they were bereaved of ideas,


A Vicmo would had use those 3 to 4 players marking his, to draw fouls upon fouls, and it would had been them getting red, not us


Btw it is well, it had come and go, we hope for the best moving forward

codemaniacs:


the referee wasn't blowing for our fouls... so if Vicmo was here he will have just been frustrated by the referee because Vicmo is falls alot..

Even Omeruo was shouting at the referee...

codemaniacs:


Eguavoen wasn't outcoached..

SE was playing with inferiority complex which made them not to press and close down players and switch to a defensive pattern..

Eguavoen's mistake is not playing Tunisia with the same urgency , pressing and closing down the SE played in the group stages.

I know you are talking about ighalo

But this thread doesn’t decide anything but the coaching crew ,and ighalo was called for the afcon

I don’t know the other experience players that’s being disrespected apart from ighalo

superbloke:
When we look at everything honestly, our biggest problem in this tournament was not taking our chances. We had the problem in each of our games. What helped us was that our defense did really well in the group stages. The only times we had defensive lapses, we were punished. Unfortunately, one of them came in the knockout stages.

Most of what people are saying now is because we lost. If we had taken out chance and won, the story would have been "even with a man down, we still played them and won". Na so football be. But now, some are saying Rohr would have not lost, forgetting that we were already on a downward trajectory, even losing to CAR at home.

We weren't supposed to have played well. We weren't even considered favourites until we started the tournament. All this anger is understandable sha. It is emotional and understandable. In my opinion, we should let Eguavoen continue if he's willing to. There's a lesson every coach learns and I hope this one is his.

drDoom3:


It was glaring Eguavoen fell for the trap of big-name players rather than who can get the job done. Else why did Chuks start so many games?

drDoom3:


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?

jihday:
do you think we should stick with him or we should go ahead with Mr Paseiro

Curtisaxel10:
In conclusion, Eguavoen is a piss-poor coach who had nothing but the element of surprise and the Egyptian coach's incompetence to thank for his fluke win over Egypt.

I have always been shouting since the Sudan game that all it would take is a half-decent tactician to knock Eguavoen out cold.

Chukwueze is another total scam who had no right to start this game. Dude obviously forgot his brains in Spain before coming. Can't beat his marker to save his life. Yesterday that Tunisia double-marked him, the masquerade was sure to be exposed.

Ahmed Musa would have provided much more starting at RM. At least he could have used his speed to press defenders if nothing else. Chukwueze was blank and bland. But because Chuks started in the win against Egypt, Mr. Austin Rohrguavoen the one-directional dinosaur decided to start him.

TheGoodJoe:


Chukwueze had a fairly good game, put in a good shift and was tactically sound in his game. You are just throwing statements that are far from the game.

Curtisaxel10:
Semi Ajayi showed his aerial prowess and superior ball-carrying capacity which could have helped us but no, Mr. Rohrguavoen the unidirectional dinosaur was hell-bent on replicating his Egypt starting eleven.

forgiveness:



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.

Curtisaxel10:


Which good game? Somebody that was in the pockets of the Tunisians for most of the game? You call one good pass from a winger who played for over 60 minutes a good game? Tufiakwa.

PurpleHouse:
Seeing pictures of our players crying, it hurts I guess. Moses and Aina, you'll be back next year for the cup.
