true

And so many shots went in Or were they saved.

Absolutely first goal was a basic goal keeping error, entirely inexcusable.

But the game was lost from the first minute, because we started with no drive and purpose no tactical strategy , we were languid and lacklustre and particularly in midfield clueless.

Every thing else was an outcome delivery of our slow poke no drive and no purpose START.

Bros Even our best golden era couldn't hold Argentina when the game was 1-1, na this era you want us to draw them....we defended but the pressure was too much to handle
Which of the pressures was too much?

When he was supposed to string changes to shore up the defence and midfield, he didn't make one until they scored the second one.

Can't believe a time will come when I'll be jumping several pages on this thread grin

Make una calm down o.. It will take a while to get over this but we move...It happens... There's still a world cup qualification to prepare for..

The big question is who will lead the team?
I for once would like Eguavon to continue.. This Pseiro guy doesn't inspire much confidence with his CV...
TBH Peseiro's CV is the best NFF has ever hired in a long time. Rohr factor may make us apprehensive but in Nigerian standards, don't say his CV isn't impressive. That's untrue.

This Gambian team is really doing well for themselves. They are not even playing like debutants.
Well I am not surprised considering their performances at youth level in the past.
Their senior team has really under achieved but i think this is their time to shine.

Good history. But ask yourself. Is our league now what it was then? CAF champions league has become very difficult for us. And we have "talents". We need. to improve the league first.

True. there are better coaches, but we have been managed well by worse coaches.

Not like we were expecting a guardiola anyway.

Nigerian league of 2022 is no Where near how it was in 2004. Enyeama was a back to back CAF champions league winner with Enyimba with big CAF champions league experience. So he was already well grounded with continental football.

We need the best goalies irrespective of where they are based. That's all.

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

You sabi better thing.. If Ndidi was paired with Onyeka; there wouldn't have been such a gap for Msakni to take that shot.

It was simply inexcusable and borderline criminal for Msakni to have been given all the space in the world to attempt a shot on goal in the first place... The emphasis on having more ball playing midfielders in this team was once again overlooked, the annoying part of it all is that we had Onyeka on the bench and he should have been brought in to support Ndidi who was clearly struggling as a lone DM..

Playing with only 2 CMs and asking them to attack as well, creates spaces and vulnerability at the back. If you ask them to just sit, then your offense depends exclusively on your wingers who often get isolated.

Egus formation and inability to switch it lost us the game yesterday..

Noted Sir

I apologize for the harsh words directed.

But I must let you know something Smir and this is from my heart, I actually mean no harm by my antics here. But I feel the rest of the members of this thread are taking my antics a bit too far.

See, I was disappointed deep down when th our performance. I actually wanted the SE to prove me wrong. I would've delivered my public apology here without mincing words.

See, you people shouldn't take my banters personal. Because they are just that - banters.

But if I went too far, then sorry but please life doesn't begin and end with the SE. The way some of you guys started calling me failure in real life promoted my continual rejoicing. No need insulting one another over a team that doesn't know of our existence individually.

My apologies Sir
No problems bro.

Seriously, why is iheanacho first touch so atrocious? Now, I understand why pep guardiola dismissed him quickly because there’s no way that a technical coach will accept such horrible first touch regardless of how clinical of a Finisher you’re as a striker. The next coach needs to stop that experiment of using iheanacho as a midfilder. He should either be played as a Striker, SS or dropped. When I mean an SS, I am not referring to an AM

Awoniyi is better than Sadiq but none of them are better than Ighalo, Victor and or Dennis.

If any of these players were playing it would have been different.

Yes, they are better than Ighalo. Dennis is a winger who can fill in at CF so you can't compare.

So if there’s no Nwakali to orchestrate play through the middle or switch plays at will, nobody else can do it, did I get you?


If nwakali played yesterday, we would have sent special forces to look for him on the field,shishi e no go play, we are celebrating the fact he had the highest chances against guinea bissau (celebration of mediocrity), guinea bissau that plays gidigbo football with zero sense, should that be a reason to play against Tunisia; that particular game his poor workrate was obvious,we saw how he contributed nothing to the defense,zero workrate in the midfield he was just spamming crosses and passes,I was laughing deep down in my heart, when people thought Tunisia is a walkover team grin;Tunisia is one of the most organized team in Africa and to crown they have a good technical crew, since they don shut that Simon; I already there was gonna be a problem, eguavoen saw he needed energy in the midfield to overrun them, they even tried all their might to repel iwobi will all his pace and mobility, try put nwakali 2 minutes you wont see him on the field no caps we did well, Tunisia studied our game very well, even if Kante enter yesterday we go still chop am.

I disagree ,

Probably the lowest ranked player in the squad is Nwakali, playing for Huesca in the Segunda Division.

He selected him over and above proven and tested EPL players in the midfield like Iwobi and Onyeka.


When I mean big name players I don't mean by popularity, I mean by consensus and local support.

Yes they are better. How do you want to argue it? Statistics? Both have more goals in higher ranked leagues. Qualities? Both are taller, more physical, more technical, younger, and they prove it everyday by scoring in more competitive leagues. How else?

The only thing working in Ighalo's favour is history, and these are young players so it doesn't fly. This is just like saying Cavani is better than Osimhen or Vlahovic.
