Meliforme:Iwobi that has a better "passing range" what did he do? Is he not supposed to compliment Onyeka's inabilities as the "main man" in midfield? Onyeka did the things he was expected to do and he did very well all through the competition... Who even gave him a chance? 1 Like |

COOL10:You are an objective person. Teams have played possession football and have both won and lost tournaments. Spain played it and won in 2010. 2014 they were bundled out. Teams have played negative football and won and lost tournaments. The Italians have repeatedly used the dreaded catenacchio method to win tournaments. They won the last Euro. They have since not qualified for the WC back to back. 2 Likes |

CornOak: This will have switched the dynamics of the game in our total favour, considering we were a goal up. I wonder how the Ivorians would have handled that. |

Goke7: Where will you get the midfielders you think you need? Like someone said, you pope want a Rolls Royce with Camry budget. You need a coach that knows how to fix players in the right roles. Everytime Iwobi this and Iwobi that, this was the same way you people did not allow Mikel's name to rest until he retired and ran away from your issues. You people will use your bad mouth to attack players that give their best to the team, then when they ghost you lot you will call them ingrates. Please, sit down and write letter to NFF so they can give you the midfielders you think you deserve and will be willing to play for you. Until then, you will manage Iwobi like that. He will not die for you people to be happy. 1 Like |

Meliforme:Pls don't remove the part that he is earning less than 2k per week. We need a CM. Even if he is playing in Fernando po. We need complementing bodies in that MF. DF, CM, AM. Our attacking trident is good. Nwabali has stepped up to be counted. Blood in Tosin for the DF. Finish. Any one is free to attack me. Shit no dey dey inside belle dey smell. Maybe we should have waited for a top euro league GK too. Brink in any CM, try him out, finish. That MF finally came home to haunt us. 1 Like |

To be honest, we didn't deserve to be in the finals. This team has plenty of work to do. The coach has been riding his luck so far but everyday no be Christmas. 1. Peseiro's strategy is poor. Just score one and defend for your lives. Very lazy way to coach. No backup plan in case you concede, nothing. 2. Osimhen has been below par. I dare anybody to point at a single good thing that he did throughout today. Just causing fouls and limping around aimlessly. Ighalo was a FAR better and more impactful striker for us than Osimhen. Full stop. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Stillwater10:. There MF was working and winning the 2nd balls in dangerous areas. Problem is not the wingers because before they even get the ball CIV have already regrouped. |

Those heaping blames on Iwobi don't actually see, if there is any cohesion in the team, Iwobi and Bassey are notable figures. Nwakali and midfielders like Ifeanyi Matthew are what this team needs, plus good coaching. Nwakali started only one game at the last AFCON, what do you expect from such meagre minutes. 1 Like |

Nwabali is not who we think he is. He has potential, but we are not out of the woods yet in terms of our GK search. That first goal wouldn't have happened if he was correctly positioned. The search must continue. 1 Like |

safarigirl: we had a goalkeeping crisis before this tournament, where do we get the keeper from? so who says we can't get ball-playing midfielders? Mikel was lambasted until he started putting in some performances for the team. The same CIV in 2013, there was a clever interception Mikel made to dispossess Yaya Toure of the ball, but for that, CIV would have equalized when we were leading 2-1. That's what you expect from your experienced players. How long are we going to continue to make excuses for players who should raise their game. Someone on this thread said that it's underperformance for Nigeria to be in the semi-finals 15 times and only win AFCON 3 times and I agree cos you need your best and experienced players to make that difference. Tell yourself the truth, is Iwobi that kind of player? 1 Like |

Goke7: LMAO Abeg abeg abeg. From today ke? Who dey fear una since? Tunisia kicked you out in Round of 16 in the last AFCON, that shambolic Ghanaian team stopped you from getting a World Cup ticket. Guinea Bissau won you on home turf. Is that the dreaded Super Eagles abi e get another team wey you dey talk of? You people are deluded sha. Una wey chop two goals from Guinea just before this AFCON, na who you dey call dreaded? Peseiros really gave you people mouth, because Super Eagles has not been dreaded in at least 8 years. Come off your high horse, this tournament changes nothing about the team. You people even overachieved, which is why all these nonsense complaints are irritating me. Who dash una silver before this tournament started? Better know your level, there is nothing dreaded about the Super Eagles. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I don't even understand why Iwobi and Chukwueze had to start this game. It was clear that immediately Iwobi was removed against SA, we actually began playing better. Clearly, that midfield should have been Onyeka and Alhassan. I wonder what devil moved Peseiro today. |
