hahahaha i no get ur time o, im worried about abuja stadium, fans can invade the pitch... From what i have seen.

With regards to the match yesterday and the upcoming match on Tuesday, these are my views;

1. Ihenacho should have been replaced by onyeka in maybe the 60th minute, with Aribo moving upfront. Aribo, was played out of position.

2. The connection between midfield and attack was non-existent. I believe Amo can be used as a joker. Just release him when everyone is tired to cause havoc on the opponent.

3. The comparison between Okoye and Uzoho is finally settled. In as much as you cannot judge from a single game, Uzoho brings more positional awareness, composure and command of his line than Okoye.

4. We should learn to high press the Ghanaians. They make more mistakes when they are high pressed. On three occasions in which it occurred, they made mistakes. It even almost lead to a penalty.

5. We are in trouble, if we survive this world cup qualification match. Eguavon needs to update his coaching arsenal if we are to go far in the world cup. He still lives in the 90s, using the same Westerhoff principles. This is very predictable and can be easily stifled in the world cup.

John, did you realize that most of the 50-50 calls went to Ghana? How do you explain that?


O pari

JohnBullMySon:
Make una calm down. There was nothing like ojoro or whatever in that game. The referee was just moved by light shoves. Even Ghana were looking for something in the box. The referee didn't listen to them as well.

Modified: I meant to say not moved.

Hahaha!!! That’s exactly the way I see it myself. Anyway, let that not surprise you because I heard that Ghanaian girls are something else. I mean, who am I to judge the poor refs


O pari

Cocking:


I was baffled also...they want another version of Ghana vs south Africa Ojoro that night but the referee was just looking for soft spot that wasn't forthcoming bcoz he had been bribed in cash and in kind with those big black tempting bombom

JohnBullMySon:
Don't write off Iheanacho like that. He has been responsible for so many of our much needed goals. Iheanacho is like a gamble. It goes either ways.

Iheanacho should be the alternative, not the norm, the way Origi is the alternative, not the norm. If Liverpool starts Origi every game like Eguavooen does with Iheanacho, Liverpool will be lower on the table than they are right now.

andrewbaba44:


Tunisia that won away from home already ?

That Sissako guy should not be playing football. He has a weak mentality and is extremely error-prone and unlucky for a CB. I first noticed how poor he was since the game Genk beat Standard Liege 2-0 when Onuachu intercepted a very poor back pass from him to his keeper to score the second goal. Guy was literally crying after the goal, even had to be subbed off as he couldn't continue.

I still believe Mali can stage a comeback though. Their attack is too blunt, they don't score enough goals.

Meliforme:
Now eyes are opening. My criticism of Eguavoen began even before the AFCON.

During AFCON i criticised his system of play and choice of players for a 4-4-2. Many celebrated his wins, i inferred the wins to the new coach syndrome and individual brilliance. Many said we played beautiful football, and i asked where and when was the beautiful football.

Eguavoen said he spent sleepless nights selecting his squad for the AFCON. I judged the scenario and said it is not good that he should spend sleepless nights over a task like that given that he is not new to the team, he should have known the players that will suit his system, and players that will struggle. After the sleepless nights, i saw his starting eleven, player positions, instructions and tactics, and somehow gave up.

This day, everything that i said of Eguavoen is begining to make sense to some people who were then still celebrating their new coach and making excuses for him.

Criticisms are good when the people being critisized are open to learning. I hope Eguavoen learns. Learning on the job is something that can happen to everybody.

One thing I like about Eguavoen from that Ghana game though is his ability to interpret the direction the game was going and at least make some tactical subs to solve specific problems. That Bassey sub for example was a tactical masterclass, it immediately killed all their attacks from that wing where the danger was. His only poor sub was taking out Aribo, If that was Iheanacho he took out it would have been perfect.

With Rohr, no matter how bad a game was going, the guy already had predetermined subs he would put in at 80 mins. I can't remember a game Rohr made tactical subs, his subs were either injury or vibes and inshallah.

After that woeful performance, no be our fault.

What we need is intense passing practice. We can't string 3 concurrent passes in midfield, what an embarassment for top league players. We should be high pressing and playing triangles in midfield not all this nonsense long ball and inshallah.

Funny thing is, our players are much better than Ghana ball on ground. Aribo and Nacho are excellent through-passers, just pass the ball on the ground and create chances.

my thought is he was trying to preserve Aribo ahead of the second leg, he even tried taking off Moses early but had to take off Chuks instead when he got injured. I think he was trying to keep them for the return leg

My preferred formation

Nothing wrong practicing for penalties. That should be a fall back plan. Our Plan A should be killing it.

Our players fell everywhere. Ghana's was restricted to near and inside the 18 yard box.

Wing play is not our strength. Attack is. If wing play were our strength our striker(s) will get the needed support. That our wingers can be easily neutralised shows that they are very predictable in their approach. We need dynamic wingers/strikers, who can operate from the wing from the run of play and easily switch to being a strikers. Dennis and Osimhen are the kind of forwards I just described. It makes our game unpredictable and Ghana defence will easily fall like a pack of cards. I just dropped my lineup. Thats how we need to operate. We have lots of strikers for a reason. Ighalo is not that kind of striker but he can definitely come in at some point.

Bassey had some lapses. But for a young guy I would say he has a heart of steel, putting that show away on his debut. I expect to see him have a much improved performance in his second game for SE.

People just give Rohr undue credit because we had a rough patch before his arrival. Our problem then was administration.

safarigirl:


LOL

A veteran Super Eagles follower declared Rohr as our best coach in 20 years

I argued that record for record, Rohr is not even better than Keshi, and he decides to call me unintelligent amongst other things.

Yet, at no point did he mention how Rohr was better than Keshi. He mentioned that the team was in shambles from 2014-2017 and how we did not qualify for AFCON, but Keshi left the job during the qualifiers in 2014.

He even mentioned that Rohr has helped bring up players from the youth team, citing Osimhen, and I countered that Kelechi, Omeruo, Ndidi and co, are also graduates of the youth team.

Anyway, dem don insult me for Twitter because of Keshi and Rohr today.

I have so much respect for Okoye. It would be great to have such a keeper as our second choice. My first choice is Uzoho, firstly because he has World Cup experience. Secondly, he looks more composed and has more command of his area.

andrewbaba44:

I don hear you. Every game is 50/50 oga. If it's certain we are winning before the whistle is blown, then there is no point playing the game, FIFA should just kukuma award the qualification to us.

Nice one, I would replace bassey with Omeruo and Dennis with Iheanacho for my own starting 11 o.
