The pitch talk continues to deflect from the true major issues, some of which I raised in the post and you chose to ignore. Quoting where I listed our chances creators for the 2nd leg also shows it wasn't up to 20 chances for either legs and doesn't answer the questions as regards the first leg. You conveniently chose to ignore those questions and quote a post of mine as if I say chances were not created when I clearly said we didn't have consistent penetrative buildups to those chances. Most came by scatter gun approaches from the channels. So you switching to now say "the 20" refers to both legs is funny. In Abuja, how many chances did Osimhen get? You refused to answer this. So we were not expected to bury Bissau? We were not expected to create chances against such weak opposition especially seeing how easily we dispatched same side at the Afcon with a weaker team (compared to the one that played Bissau recently)? And yes, even Ndidi was found in front of goal and we should blame the pitch for his missed 1 on 1 right? Is that it? Yeah, blame it all on the pitch meanwhile Bissau scored from open play on the same Abuja pitch. BascoVanVeli: 1 Like 1 Share |

maidaboi:so basically, nothing different from what has been said in this thread. He preferred an u20 call up over a super eagles call up due to fears over his place in the team. Can't blame him tho. Highly unlikely his decision would change now that he is in a better place and form. Wish him well. |

TheSuperNerd: Osimhen had about 3.5 chances in Abuja, the team had at least 15. We are not even talking about time they got in good positions and made wrong decisions. Scatter gun or organised gun, the team created too many chances to only come out with one goal in 2 matches. I never said we created 20 chances in one match. Instead of clarifying wat I meant u are running with the narrative that suits you. This is what I said.

Osimhen had only one big chance in Abuja which he squandered. He practically only had one shot all game in Abuja. For all the chances we created in Abuja, the midfield practically created just 1 chance. A poor return to tell you how clueless we looked through the middle. These are some of the issues. The Highest we created in Abuja came via Bright Osayi Samuel (3) on the right and almost none was coordinated buildup but scatter gun. Also, For all the chances we created in Abuja, Bissau created more big chances (2) than us (1). I remember you said we might score 5 in the second leg. Pray tell, weren't you gravely disappointed seeing the team couldn't even score one open play goal? Creating chances was not the issue vs Bissau in both legs. The issue was the approach and balance of plays on our end either in offensive and defensive transitions. The lack of or poor synchronisation between our defensive build up and midfield buildup, the disconnect between the midfield and attack. It was mostly scatter-gun and superior 1v1 player quality. We have the quality but lack team coordination in attacking transitions. We looked uncoordinated getting forward and that partly explains why we kept mixing things up in the final third with bunches of poor finishing and flat decision makings with everyone just trying to do the best they can with the uncoordinated tactical approaches we applied and against such a weak side on the continent.

Not a boast. Not a talk up. But I clearly do a better job monitoring Nigerian talents than the whole band of NFF departments put together. Even the so called media officers and scouts of the Super Eagles and the NFF don't do a quarter of this. It is that bad. Kog45: 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Omo Elyte. You know me... Come rain, come sunshine, I am Super Eagles through and through. Arguably their biggest fan but you see it is because I know what we are capable of as a team (and with the pool of players we have got) that makes me open to seeing the flaws that keep bedevilling our team plays. If anyone, after all my years of passionately showing just how much this team means to me and all my years of constantly keeping tabs on Naija players all because of the love for the Super Eagles and Nigerian football in general, tag me a hater all of a sudden due to my critical analyses of the team in recent times then it shows they don't understand that what one loves he also must truthfully and constructively criticise in a bid to build up. I mean... it has gone beyond even wanting an Amunike for the team. To hell with him if someone that can do just as well or even better comes along. That's me. I am not that guy who will die on one angle if I see a better angle. All I want is the right pegs in the right holes in the Super Eagles from the technical crew to the first XI selections and bench selections. Every time we draw up a list, we must do so keeping in mind what we really want from these players and the tactical idea they are coming to execute in sync with their actual tactical/technical values and characteristics. elyte89: 1 Like 1 Share |

TheSuperNerd: I dont even think the NFF knows the best players in our local leagues and academies. I highly doubt it. I think even BascoVanvelli is better at that. NFF is just a government parastatal dedicated to stealing money. Politics and leadership in Nigeria is based on two ideologies. 1. Making Money or corruption 2. Shortermism or poor attitude to long term development. Our politicians cant think of the next 2 years or even 3 weeks. They are after what will make money now. NFF is just part of the Nigerian society and so it is like that. I'm sure our scouting department is not doing anything. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: 15:32 Kelechi Iheanacho's ball found him in 1 on 1 with the keeper. 30:23 Ball fell kindly for him in the box but he slips as he is about to turn and shoot. 36:15 Iheanacho heads the ball to him and instead of shooting first time he went for a cut back. 48:26 This one is the 0.5. He pounced on a loose ball but his shot got blocked. I can be persuaded that was a pass though. U add other big misses from Ndidi, Simon and Onuachu. Score could have been 5-1 easily. The excuses are completely bogus on your part. How can our build ups be so poor when the forwards got the ball in glorious positions time and time again? Their decision making and finishing let them down its simple as that. This makes me even more confident in the team because we know these players have quality and they will come good. We all saw Samu Chukwueze against Madrid. The 2nd goal he scored was harder than the chances he missed time abd time again vs Bissau. 2 Likes |

In the end, Osimhen had only one true chance. That's on period. You make it sound like he missed tons in Abuja. Nothing bogus about how we struggled to build up plays through the middle. Nothing bogus about that. If our Midfield-attack plays and Defence-midfield plays aren't so disjointed, we would have created more coordinated chances of note through the middle & still bag goals despite missing the ones we did. And the quality and xG of Bissau's big chances clearly trumped ours in Abuja. We didn't just do enough in the Capital added to our disjointed plays. So yes, our build ups were poor and unsynchronised. Ignoring that only because we created chances never minding how scatter-gun they were means you aren't exactly paying attention to our team plays. You should not be talking up our Scatter-gun approach when it's obvious we look so disjointed in transitions. Which team wouldn't have at least one chance of reaching the opposition final third no matter how bad they are? Lol And ofcos the players are quality. Do I say otherwise? The fact is the team isn't living up to that spread of quality yet you want to defend Peseiro despite my mentioning the areas he is clearly not addressing strongly. Samu vs Real Madrid. Yes, we saw his goals. In the same La Liga, Samu also missed sitters and especially one in his last game vs Valladolid. And on a good pitch as well. Misses are meant to happen but the issue here with Samu is how he is utilised in the Super Eagles setup. Peseiro isn't setting the team up to get the best of what Samu brings and worse, he doesn't even fix the midfield issues that can help in executing the tactical ways Samu can be best used in the final third.

TheSuperNerd: Which one is true chance? Every moment I named could have resulted in a goal. It is not until they have a open net that we know it is a chance. So our forwards threw away chance after chance because the build up from the middle was bad? Are they in the game to score goals or analyse how our build up is going? That's like a defender messing up and saying "Well the strikers were missing too much" it makes no sense. We had more than enough opportunities to defeat GB. My point about Samu was that he scored the same type of goal. Why would I expect him to score every chance he gets? U act like we were just chucking long balls up front. We passed those balls wide for the most part. In 180 minutes GB could not find an answer for our wide attacks. 2 Likes |

Yes. True Chance. Not all chances have the same xG or xGOT. Even Ndidi's saw him not hit it towards goal but tried to square it in the box before it was intercepted quickly by the GK. Poor/slow decision making. With no true penetration and transition play through the middle, we resorted to the wings in uncoordinated fashion. Scatter-gun approach. Chuks receiving the ball in zones which sees him up against a deep block instead of receiving between the lines. This led to him not completing many of his dribbles and also losing duels recklessly when trying to push his way past the block. And in doing so, we didn't even establish consistent passing triangles on his wing whenever he had the ball. We struggled and laboured through it all, making do with whatever each attacking phase gave us. Lookman experiencing same turmoil. Struggled to complete even a dribble. The midfield hardly switching plays from high concentrated zones of play to less concentrated zones of play. Our transition being laborious, and slow and with no real desire for the players to attack gaps created in transition. Our midfield hardly providing BTL (breaking the line) options. Chance after chance yet not many were clear cut. Midfield created almost zero in Abuja. Nada. You talk about wide attacks for 180s yet for same 180 mins, we couldn't get one open play goal. So much for the attacks. Most were rushed... uncoordinated and simply done with poor transition execution several of which died at the feet of the low blocks or found its way past the blocks yet couldn't be finished due to bad decision, poor finishing or just not settling well enough to be clear cut. Guinea Bissau were expected to feel the wrath of rhe Nigerian attack yet what we presented even via wing plays was uncoordinated approaches that ended with us scoring nothing in the end. Bissau recorded more xG with their chances than our boys in Abuja even. These issues are obvious and exist but noooo... cover it up with the fact that "we created chances". Like we weren't supposed to somehow find a way to do so against a weak side like Guinea Bissau. Lol BascoVanVeli: 1 Like 1 Share |
