GAM VS CAM is why experience sometimes does not play football. These Gambians are debutant for crying out loud and already pushing for semis!

Their game plan is working (Funny enough) which is to frustrate Cameroon and hit them on counter then defend till JESUS tarries.

Cameroon players are becoming frustrated and under pressure to win.

let's see how a middle three of Ndidi, Etebo and Aribisala will go,

mind you, Etebo can go goal crazy without warning

Etebo in 2022 una, Etebo's time is gone he should try to salvage what's left of his career at Watford

A good cross can always break the tightest of defense.
Just look at how Cameroon scored from a good cross.

So far in this tournament, Cameroon has scored a lot of goals just because they have good crossers of the ball.

Our own wingers and full backs are terrible at crossing the ball despite the fact that we have abundance of CF who are good in the air.

What a waste for us

It's a shame that our wingers have refused to learn to do that

I mean, they playing Europe. What will it cost them to stay back after practice for an HR or two just to learn to take set prices or cross the ball

Naija players don't hunger to improve on themselves. I have said this time without number

chrisooblog:
You guys sha

Keep it coming I'm enjoying the back and forth

Everyone has left zuchyblink for TFLASHOGEE cos he's the one that matches zuchyblink's stubborn insistence on Rohr

Cross and nod.. Chaii

When was the last time we had that in the super Eagles? Nawa

Honestly. It's a waste.

Even the full backs that crossing out to be one of their duties are even worse at it.

Terrible something

Imagine having Onuachu, Osimhen and co in your team yet we don't score headers regularly.

After Cameroon broke the deadlock, look at how space is now start to open in that Gambia defense just because Gambia don't have a choice than to come out now.

Danielnino00:


I went through some of your posts and saw where u were praising the team when they were winning games before and commending the overall improvement of some of them.. Suddenly it's individual brilliance at play...
Fair weather fans like you can't be taken serious..

The fact on ground is that our performance has improved much better under Eguavon than it was under Rohr.. The team showed a lot of promise and can get better...
Rohr was given 5 years! Eguavon was given how long?

Rohr started well, but after we qualified for the WC, the man shrunk and with him our football

It's the oldest, simplest yet effective tactic to implement., yet over the years, we find it difficult to do.

The frustrating thing about it is that you don't need a lot of technically gifted players to implement it yet we somehow can't use it even against minnows.

People here talking about etebo but I feel he is more indispensable than Chukwueze

Let us even be honest, when was the last time the Chukwueze had a good game for us?

Even the numbers agree that that guy is just mediocre now. I used to say he is bang average but now he is just poor..

And yet he stars because of sentiments in the SE

Astrid4:



A bronze at the last AFCON is not a trophy? , defeating South Africa, Cameron, we almost Algeria won if not because of keeper error, all these feat no be beans,you can just undermine the achievement of rohr, he did very well we are only slightly better than ivory coast when it comes to squad depth yet ivory coast crashed very early the last AFCON. Rohr led us to two competition; he got us a bronze medal,he also led us to two AFCONQ and one WCQ we qualified with a game to spare

In the context of our illustrious Afcon history, bronze is no trophy.

Dribbling to no end. This is what wingers do--Lump the ball to the box 18. I hope simon is watching.

surely there's a Nigerian winger out there more intellective than Simon Moses...

mostob:
Exactly... Iheanacho is the one making us play a 4-4-2. We should revert back to 4-3-3 asap.
BTW do you know if Iwobi will be available for the WC qualifier?

For Rohr, Iheanacho was definitely one of the reasons he switched to a 4-4-2 cus his form from last year made it difficult for him to be dropped.. But for Eguavon,it was his desire to copy the super eagles class of the '90s that made him adopt the formation..at least he made mention of his desire to adopt the style..
Going forward,we should do away with it...It's an outdated formation.. I don't mind if Nacho gets dropped to the bench for it..

As for Iwobi, I think he won't be available..the suspension will be carried over to subsequent CAF games...I'm not entirely sure though..

Bros, the thing tire me.

Talk now and some people will defend mediocrity

Same SE players that were hyped couldn't even beat an incomplete team.

I can authoritatively say that currently we aren't even in top 10 footballing nations in Africa. How did we even fall to this level sef?

He stars where ?

He isn’t doing badly for Villarreal though despite having limited game time after comming from a long injury

I believe he will come back stronger for the eagles ,but for now he shouldn’t be starting all games and others should be given a chance

We can't use it because most of our wingers and Fullbacks can not cross. Aina exclusive.

No Nigeria winger is brainy

It's just dribble and insha Allah

I repeat, none of them is brainy. Not not one

We have refused to learn, someone said Etebo is done in GWG .

andrewbaba44:
Nigeria is out of the tournament for sure before some of una use that one enter me

But what do most of you guys see in this Cameroon team that you rate them if I may ask ? This people no sabi play ball abeg ,to lay accurate pass self Na wahala ,no pattern

They will surely win todays game ,but if this team wins this tournament then African teams really have a long way to go

Like icon4s once said, Cameroon are hardly known for playing good football,but when it comes to the AFCON, they know how to navigate through it.
They will most likely win this one..

Dribbling is part of the game that can open up defence and these guys also cross the the ball too, the difference is that their crosses are always terrible.

Liverpool play ghen ghen football, incorporated with a lot of crosses. That's why when you watch Liverpool's game playing against a stubborn defense, where Mane or Salah cannot break their defense, you start seeing Henderson, Arnold, Robertson will start spamming dozens of crosses into the box. By the time they do so consistently for like 10-15 minutes, it's either they score directly from one of the crosses, or indirectly from a rebound when the opposing team is trying to clear their lines and they make a mistake.

After that first goal, flood gate usually open, because that stubborn team will end up stop defending and come out, from there, space will open up for Salah and mane to feast.

Patriotism will never make me hype mediocrity.

You play rubbish, you don't deserve praises

Now we see that the players share a huge part of the blame for their shoddy displays under Rohr. Rohr was mediocre but trust me, Naija players ....I don't even understand their play
