I agree before Maduka's mistake how many clear shots at goal did Tunisia have? Their is no guarantee Ajayi would have been miles better. Abi is it not the same Semi who's momentary slip allowed the GB forward almost through on goal? That's why I don't like doing too much hindsight analysis TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

From our first game to the last our midfield have been thin and I knew it will be exposed when we meet a tactically sound opposition In our games you will find out that ndidi and aribo do the work of breaking play and linking the middle and the forward while iheanacho ghosts around waiting for the ball to fall to his feet Football nowadays are won in the middle and anything with a superior midfield has the upper hand mostly in games Our best midfield trio in the competition would have been ndidi as a DM, Onyeka as a box/box midfielder then aribo as a 10 or 8. The reason I will pick aribo ahead of iheanacho is his ability to track back to help the team and also he is more mobile than iheanacho Even I would prefer starting iwobi in the 10 role than iheanacho Iheanacho is a lovely player but off the ball he offers nothing. The reason we saw the best of aribo and ndidi in this competition is because both were over worked and stressed But shun aribo na luxury abeg, that guy na rolls Royce of a midfielder and I can’t wait for him to make the big leap to the epl as rumoured 7 Likes |

Meliforme: Thank you Meli. I did use the Algerian struggle to hint at our own problem in sticking to a false sense of our "Winning XI". That first XI is not even our strongest looking at this squad from tactical POVs. But ofcos most in here didn't get the hidden message. I will always stay optimistic no matter what but I did warn that we needed a tweak in our tactical approach. I even dropped an optaanalyst graphical take on our playing style at this Afcon which I wasn't comfortable with. We were sacrificing control and creativity through the middle for a direct altered form of Route-one approach to our games. Get the balls to the CBs... let them kick it upfield swiftly to the Wingers (especially Simon), then the Wingers use their pace and trickery to get the ball into the box where the attack overload awaits to pounce and make good use of. It worked against Egypt because they didn't know what to expect from a new coach in Eguavoen. It worked against Sudan because they are of lesser quality who knew what we wanted to do but just didn't have the quality or tactical knowhow to stop it. Then we meet an average Tunisian team with the tactical discipline to simply double/triple up on our Wingers and it was game over for us because Ndidi and Aribo don't have the ability to create or run plays through the middle. I spoke about it but many didn't understand. I even did a large tactical analysis thread on this on twitter before our Sudan game. On how important it was to drop one player between Awo and Iheanacho to enable us switch to a tactically balanced Midfield 3 that would share the weight of the creative burden with the Wingers and control the plays also and switch plays at will but noooo... it didn't fly here but many on twitter liked and retweeted one of the posts on the thread where I dropped the main MF linkup. Shows that many still understood but sadly, Eguavoen didn't. It is well. We move. 7 Likes 1 Share

Same mistake. An Ndidi-Onyeka-Aribo MF won't be able to orchestrate plays through the middle or switch plays at will. Una no dey learn. But it's fine. Keep judging football based on where player A plays or where Player B features while you ignore the actual and specific skillsets of the lads involved.

codemaniacs:which keeping error are you talking about? That was a swerved low rocket which will expose a lot of keepers. Am not trying to make a case for okoye but many goalies will be expose by that low drive Also the midfield and defense didn’t provide any cover Bros that game was won tactically by the Tunisians and from the very start of the game their game plan was obvious which is to hit us on counter A tactical superior team doesn’t mean he will take over possession entirely but the work but in place when with the ball and off it as well They carried their game plan perfectly by clipping our wings and wait for us on counter through the middle after noticing we normally hv only 2 players in that part of the pitch 1 Like |

Before we start getting it right at senior level we must change our understand and approach to football Okoye has no business with the Super eagles for now when we Afelokhai,Olorunleke Ojo and other goal keepers doing well in NPFL. Our obsession with European based players even when they are not matured enough is killing our football |

TheSuperNerd:oga forget that your orchestrating abi orchestra In modern football creativity mustn’t come from the middle, aribo is creative enough to provide chances for the team and his assist rate since he joined rangers is testament to this claim. Also he had an assist in the competition as well Na una hunger of fancy football all the time put eguavoen for pressure to make u guys happy In knock out stages of competitions against certain oppositions you need to play dirty if required to come top We were better than the Tunisians who had only one shot on target but utilized it so where is your team now with the dozen of chances created and impressive possession stat? |

With regards to yesterday's match. Please refer to my earlier post in September expressing my concerns with this Okoye guy. I copied the write up for easier reference..... I rest my case..... Nice write up! However, I still have a reservation. Unfortunately I am not completely sold with this Okoye guy as our goalkeeper. His conceded goals appear really soft ( Please rewatch the highlights of his conceded goals to appreciate my concern). I literally shake in fear whenever our opponents are close to our goal post in any match. Any bad day by our defense and you see exactly what I mean ( the Sierra leonian game comes to mind). There is a saying that goes thus "if it is not broken, don't fix it." Why would Rohr replace Uzoho who was doing a very good job and improving with every match with this Okoye guy ( Please rewatch the Ukraine and Brazil friendly game to see what I mean). Going back to your article, no mater how good a team is, you cannot win any laurel with an inept goalkeeper guarding your goalpost. |

Papi85: Iwobi that haven't created one chance at this Afcon was subbed in and HE DID what?? Had Zero chances created. Has the least touches of the ball in our last game vs Bissau pre-tunisia and offers Zero defensive contributions was subbed in and HE DID PLAY DIRTY ![]() Guess where that "dirty play" left us... ![]() ![]() Ofcos you will leave out the midfield orchestration talk because it doesn't suit your agenda. We left it out and we saw how ineffective Aribo was yesterday. Aribo was rubbish especially in the first half. Do you admit this? Aribo had Zero tackles made, Zero interceptions made.. created Zero chances all in that first half where Ndidi was doing it all by himself. But ofcos because we have many Anti-Nwakali folks here, you guys didn't mention that or just didn't want to spot it. If Nwakali dropped the sort of performance Aribo dropped yesterday, you all would he crying blood on Nwakali's head. In the end, you say Aribo is creative enough right? Okay, how many chances did he and Ndidi muster up or create through the middle through the middle to our advantage yesterday with our wings locked out? How many?? We clearly needed the midfield to step up yesterday and provide something creative through the middle with the Tunisians clearly shutting down our wings which has been our go-to plan for attacking plays and creativity all tournament but noooooo... they couldn't. because it is just not in their skillset. You will only keep living in denial. But you see the Nwakali you hate so much. Dude leaves this tournament as Nigeria's highest Big chances creator at Afcon2021 and among our highest chances creator despite having lesser mins than all MFs except Onyeka (who is not so adept offensively as he is defensively). So keep shutting your eyes to facts aiit. Judging football by "I play for Brentford and you play for huesca" Loollll 4 Likes 1 Share

Papi85: What game did you watch? Did you miss the part where Ndidi saved Okoye's blushes in the first half with that goalline block/clearance? Tunisia had 3 shots on target man. We only had ONE. One!!! Zero shots on target sef in the first half alone. So what nonsense are you even saying?? We even had more possession but we clearly didn't use most of it through the middle. We were clueless through the middle. Our best game remains the second team that played vs Bissau. We were so tidy in possession yet so creative going forward. We hurt them from so many parts of the pitch and not just through the wings. We diversified in that game and how Eguavoen failed to mix it up to confound the tunisians when he knew they would be ready to match the tactics of the first XI really shows how monotonous his tactical approach was. He didn't have a good contingency plan. It's funny funny I had 2 and he as coach had none. Funny. 6 Likes 1 Share

Papi85:Oil dey your head brother! Iheanacho is not an AM. He is a second striker. Brendan Rodgers has said this time and time again. Why Rohr and Eguavoen kept trying to push this thing I'll never understand(no I don't think we played a 4-4-2, it was a 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1). There were so many ways Eguavoen could've mixed up that midfield! Aribo should be played as an AM or a CM in a 4-3-3. Gerrard noticed he was better off a bit further upfront or even outwide than playing as a pivot. 2 Likes |
