Was Omeruo poor in the game? I do not think so. So why do you want the coach to drop him for Ajayi? Defensively, Omeruo had a good shift.

Curtisaxel10:


Based on Ajayi's showing against Guinea Bissau, he has the same level of defensive solidity with Omeruo plus greater aerial capacity and ball-carrying. Did you see how many corners we wasted? Ajayi would have done better if he were there

daveP:
actually we do. We act like they are some zlatan that should retire, or that they are selfish and should give way for the younger ones. I wonder how this logic makes sense one bit. Its not just about Ighalo. Its also about VicMo too. Knowing what an experienced player can do in several circumstances is way better than sitting duck and waiting for luck from an inexperienced young talented player. Especially one that feels only what the coach says should be final as regard positioning and shooting. I won't be surprised if i see at least one of the two of them recalled for Ghana tie. Not that i want them fully back, but that disrespect should just stop.

These guys deserve more praise than the fake criticisms people are dishing. They were superb. They played with their hearts and pride. Everyone gave their best.

It is unfortunate they lost. However, they fought to the end with pride. I tire for people.

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.

TheGoodJoe:
Let me clarify something.

We did not start defensive but with a midblock. That is how most teams approach teams that are good with building from the back. You maintain a compact shape in the middle and when the team comes into the midzone, you press to win the ball.

That is why Eguavoen did not come out pressing. However, with the goal, the dynamics changed, and he had to go on a high press. However, the red card spoilt it.

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

komekn:


I know that you know and will say so , do you think if Awoniyi was in the EPL he would have scored 9 Goals ❓❓.

I don't at all.

To score in the EPL is much much harder than the Bundesliga. And in that context I rate , Dennis as the most in form striker in Nigeria in the HERE and NOW.

TheGoodJoe:


Semi Ajayi's aerial prowess stood out because of Kelechi Nwakali's crosses. Kelechi Nwakali was not playing, so we would not use that approach.

In the Guinea Bissau game, Kelechi Nwakali played most of the corners.

PurpleHouse:


He should have started with the high press, benched Nacho for Iwobi, and bring Moses in second half as they were surely going to cage him.

That's the error.

But all good. What's done is done.

andrewbaba44:


But all Nigeria corners where going with no one to head it ,so don’t come and use Nwakali as excuse here abeg

And that doesn’t mean I wanted ajayi to start ahead of omeruo

You actually are totally off point.

I am saying the crosses were not accurate, so we can not talk about aerial prowess. You are saying the corners were not accurate and I am giving excuse.

What da......

TheLoneCitizen:
Did you know that no team in AFCON history has ever reached the final after a perfect group stage?

PurpleHouse:


They gave their all. It was the tactics that was wrong. Even at 10 men down, they still gave their all. So I give them a thumbs up.

komekn:


The Retrogressive says , no change let's remain the same and never progresses.

Omeruo was hoofing the ball most times he was not poor. But the progressive question is can we do better in this case can Ajayi do better ❓

When it comes to Arrival dominance Ajayi beats Omeruo completely, when it comes to set pieces where a header can win you a goal Ajayi wins. When it comes to Physicality Ajayi wins, Who is better technically undoubtedly Ajayi, so what is Omeruo better than him at

Who is faster Ajayi or Omeruo,?

A reminder at one stage Ajayi had the highest number of headed goals in the EPL for a defender.

TheGoodJoe:


I disagree. Tactics were not wrong and that was why we could feel the effect of the players. The tactics helped them perform well.

andrewbaba44:


No be me

As far as you never reach 35 I Dey okay with you for the national team

If you are also 35 and playing at the top I am still okay

Na coach go decide who to call ,me and you opinion go end here

Egypt in 2010

PurpleHouse:


He should have started with the high press, benched Nacho for Iwobi, and bring Moses in second half as they were surely going to cage him.

That's the error.

But all good. What's done is done.

codemaniacs:


Eguavoen should only continue if his never going to play the "inferiority complex" football we saw.... That's why people are angry...

he must also start with a midfield of Aribo, Onyeka and Ndidi in every starting eleven with Iwobi, Nwakali and Bonke as replacements.

then Ejuke should replace Chuks in the starting eleven then Onyekuru, Olayinka, Ebuehi, Aina should be ahead of Chuks on the bench..

Kog45:
Sir,NPFL keeper is the answer cos we still have Enyeamas in NPFL but imagine picking John Noble a third keeper with Enyimba just like having Ezenwa then who hardly played for his club.

We lost quality keeper the day Ikeme was diagnose with cancer but instead of deep searching we went for Uzoho who was keeping in 2nd Segunda and later 3rd division Okoye....I can say it anywhere that super eagles really helped Okoye career,nothing special about him.

If we believe we are lacking quality outfield players in NPFL but not keepers.All they need is coach Amusa Adisa treatment for Enyeama,Ejide and Aiyenugba but Alloy Agu is not ready.

iheanacho as a number 10 makes the midfield thin

Iwobi would hv started against Tunisia because he drops deep when required as well as links up play with the forwards better

The team gave their all but eguavoen was tactically outclassed by the Tunisians

When he found out his talisman was double marked the ideal tactical twist would hv been to push aribo to the number 10 position, bring in an Onyeka to join ndidi at the middle then iwobi for chukwueze

Our flanks wey clipped by the Tunisians so an iwobi for chukwueze would hv yielded better result because the former drifts into the middle more and has the ability to create something from that position as well

Iwobi drifting to the middle from the flanks would hv destabilized the Tunisians whereas creating room for aina to bomb forward

It’s was just tactics that won the game for the cartage eagles

Shebi we want attacking football, finally we don get am

Not saying that rohr is better than eguavoen but the German wouldn’t hv lost to this Tunisian team
