I no be bros sha🙂

But yeah

Goke7:


that has always been our issue, not a big fan of Eguavoen but with what I saw today, he should continue. It's been a long time since I saw Eagles full of energy and composure at the same time. They never panicked after settling into the game. It's not about the opposition most times but the mentality of the team. This team has character

TheGoodJoe:


Joining the attack but not with patterned build up plays or transitioning of the ball. That is the problem.

Goke7:


oga joe our players never reach this level o, maybe as they play more together that's if we don't change coach so soon, this knocking of the ball no be every player sabi am o, make we no go use reggae scatter our blues o na beg I dey beg

Oasis007:


Which buildup or pattern are you actually talking about bro. Pls rewatch the match and you gonna give the team and AE their deserved flowers.

Once either Bassey or Semi is on the ball, their WG does tuck in while the WF drifts wide. WB tucks in to free up the WF. The pattern and tactics were damn clear and spot on - we were simply unlucky.

TheGoodJoe:


We need our forwards having clear chances. We can't achieve that with poor build up plays and transitions.

isan:
I'm confident we will be at them in world cup qualifier , today is Rwanda lucky day

Odunayaw:
Moses Simon did well today

TheGoodJoe:


Any chance we hoofed the ball forward was a chance for a controlled build up play.

Mujtahida:

Nigerians. Their cry is always gimme gimme gimme. No patience, no faith.

Walahi if I were the one in charge, Eguavoen would have continued after failing to qualify us for the WC. Yes. Success is a process that involves failure. We want to succeed, we don't want to fail. But you cannot succeed, without failing.

Jpes was losing matches, drawing matches. We allow am. He took us to AFCON finals. If it's our own, two match with bad results, they start crying sack sack sack.

Odunayaw:
Reading it slowly only reveals how poor your take is.

I mean, Goke7 posted how many shots SE had in the game. We had 9 and Ntwari had 9 saves. Saying if he was too good he'd have made one more save is not it abeg

elyte89:



This is a very physical game …I won’t play iwobi eida but I would av introduced onyeka for ndidi earlier and leave dele bashiru till around 75min b4 bringing in onyedika

Mujtahida:

Playing from the back is not the only way to build play and transition. Sometimes you build from the back, sometimes you use long balls. Shikena

Starboytwo:
I enjoyed the game today.

Very interesting match. I'm sure President Paul kagame enjoyed it too.

They will come to God'swill Akpabio too and this time their President won't follow them.

Oasis007:


You want tiki-taka, but AE prefers wing play. Pls allow the man to breathe, stats are their to prove he gets it right.

TheGoodJoe:


I love long balls, but they should be to space. The keyword is to space. If you are sending the ball long to a tight area, it is careless play and creates more work for the receiver.

Most of our long balls were not to areas in space. This is due to poor buildups and transitions.

Mujtahida:

So they should work on the precision of their long balls. Semi appears to be doing floating long balls.

Odunayaw:
This one you de use mouth go at 120km/h like this. Safe journey o

MetalJigsaw:
Rwanda is not in our world cup qualifier. Its Lesotho.

TheGoodJoe:


Disorganizing the opposition setup is the key for spaces and then precision passes will help exploit the spaces. We are sending our long balls without adequate spaces for our forwards. That is why you have our forwards running against defenses a lot.

daveP:
So the fluidity of these team is affected when Iwobi doesn't play? Yet he is the most criticized by fans. Whether game was physical or not, if he played, he will offer more for the front 3 than anyone else. I dunno about Nacho sha. What happened?

Mujtahida:

Mouth no get bone oo. You for do like this, e for cut am like this, chip am like that, shoot like that. Na mouth way be that. Cho cho cho cho

TheGoodJoe:


That is why I am talking about the shape of the team. We need more midfield adherence from the coaching crew.

With Onyedika, Iwobi and Dele Bashiru, we can comfortably knock the ball to create clear chances for the forwards. With Bruno and Aina, you have two players that can move with and without the ball soundly. Semi and Ekong are good ball players. Ndah and Bassey are sound too. We have no excuse not to play in a more controlled manner.

I expect Eguavoen to work on this going forward. He really had time to prepare for the game. I can cut him some slack due to that.

MetalJigsaw:

Mujtahida:

From coach to coach Nacho appears to have become a fringe player. Even on the thread, nobody seem to care. 😏😏

charlesemeka85:
cho cho cho no be small oo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
Congratulations to Charlesemeka85 and TheGoodJoe.

Thank you Humility33 and Maidaboi for being available and stepping up to do the count and co-organize with Lelion.

And Lelion... thank you for donating a good chunk of your money and resources to a fine cause. I hope it indeed inspires us all to always drop ideas and opinions devoid of tribalism and nepotism.

And lastly My Thanks to those who voted me 3rd. To be honest, I didn't think I will get a look in that much but was surprised. Thank you for thinking me Good enough.


Lelion, I just mailed you via NL mail. Thanks again. And may the Super Eagles give us much cause to smile again this Fine afternoon.
