Blueelf:
Was Osimhen really offside though?

Odunayaw:
Nigerians don go colonise Twitter space wey Angolans de use hold body

Goke7:


are you sure the boys on the bench are better? nobody is sure o. Can Iheaancho and Moffi stand those tackles Oshinmen has been getting from defenders in this competition?

lbrichman2:


And you think the coaching crew don't know that?
JPes has met the Semi final target NFF gave him
Now man can switch things up
Let's not deceive ourselves, there's no way he would have changed

We stick to our tactics, rotate some players
That's all

Odunayaw:
Which kain penalty dem just give Guinea

Joebie:
Oga must he play 80+ mins all the time? Na common sense thing na.

COOL10:



Lol, those are not excuses. Excuses would be me blaming badluck for Osimhen's inefficacy in front of goal.


Besides, Osimhen and Salah don't share similar fates. Osimhen didn't get injured in just his second match.


If he did and we ended up failing to move past the round of 16 just like Egypt, we would have all blamed Osimhen's injury for the quick exit, just like the Egyptians are currently blaming Salah's injury for theirs.

Mujtahida:

I really don't like all this Guinea, Dr Congo, Angola at this stage of the competition. Unfortunately the big boys have gone home.

Mujtahida:

😂😂😂😂😂. Tiki taka is the most boring brand of football I've ever seen. How you enjoy it is a mystery to me.

Joebie:
We Dey say am for Napoli and heavens will not fall. Even Osimhen knows it’s all about the team.

charlesemeka85:
in my opinion super eagles is the best team tactics wise in this afcon

I believe Jpes made out time to research more on the ability of our players and found out the best tactics to bring out their best

If u follow Lookman in Atalanta u will notice that in a two man striking tactics he is very potent. The way jpes hv set up his team especially in attack is deceptive. From the beginning you will think lookman is operation as a winger but in the actual sense him and osimhen are deployed as a two man attacking force while Simon is more of crossing and delivering of passes in the final 3rd to the attacking duo

Iwobi plays as a deep lying player maker who is expected to keep the flow of the game as well as to play it simple while Onyeka is the destroyer who runs around to harass the opponent’s midfield as well as serve as a pressing machine

Zaidu’s major responsibility in this team isn’t moving forward but to defend his position. Him going forward is a plus and much isn’t expected from him via crosses while Aina is the one with more freedom to attack because he is more assured and confident on the ball than zaidu

I hv to say that Jpes isn’t as bad as we thought tactically

TheGoodJoe:


I think negative football is the boring one.

drDoom3:


It is not sustainable. That is the issue.

Once we meet a team that can hold sustained pressure in our attacking third towards the end of games, or we fail to score first in a game, we will struggle.

Joebie:
My own na to analyze. Not tubu tubu. That’s the nature. of analysis 😂

Starboytwo:
Long may you live.

Infact I'm more surprised Zaidu always manage to find himself in good positions in opponents box. Plus the guy carry engine for chest, before you know he don run go cover for back.

Anything Zaidu do apart from defend na bonus to me.

Mujtahida:

I hoped we will blow them away but we didn't. We sha win.

This thing that looks easy on the eye is really hard. We should be tempered in our criticisms. We never gave the man a chance. We never gave the team a chance but now we are in the semi.

I like good football. But I want the Afcon trophy more abeg

Goke7:


You're making assumptions, there is no guarantee that if Egypt had remained in this competition, Salah would have scored 4 or 5 goals by now, everything na probability.

That is why Oshimen is not the only player that can score in the team if he's firing blanks, then let others take responsibility which is what we have seen in the last two games, Simon almost scored what would have been one of the best goals in the second half so wetin we dey talk sef.

Senegal are home, why are we not blaming their strikers

Mujtahida:

I hate it with a passion. It's like machines and robots playing. No variety, just pass, pass, pass. Denying the opponent the ball for stretches of the game such that it becomes a one-sided show. Damn that useless philosophy. I came to watch two teams have a go at each other, not one team hugging the ball like a toy. Anytime any tiki taka team lose, e dey sweet my belly.

Joebie:
What I feared may happen unless Peseiro disagrees to sign a new contract. I hope we go for someone who can build from where Jpes stopped, and not start all over.

Well for now, let’s focus on the two remaining matches, though I always have my mind set on the highest prize — the World Cup of course

Joebie:
He made research based on how they play at their clubs abi? Na scientific research be that. E didn’t utilize that and deploy 3-4-3 in important WC qualifiers. Interesting!

Mod
The fact is Lookman is very comfortable coming inwards. He’s always played like that for us prior to this AFCOn

charlesemeka85:
na Algeria 🇩🇿 we go face for semi finals?😳

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria have participated in 19 AFCON tournaments and have reached the semi-finals 16 times.

UNREAL 🤯🇳🇬

Wow!!
