SharpJoe:


11-10. Minutes you mean. Why make it 15 minutes when it is clearly stated Yobo came in at the 79th minute. That is a basic attack for defender change.

BascoVanVeli:


Galadima is in goal.

SharpJoe:


You guys made it look like Kayode was so fresh and so clean. So Nacho is getting judged on a different Yardstick compared to other players. He is human. Even Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo miss glaring chances in games.

goldfish80:

11 minutes plus a standard 3 Minutes of injury time or 4 minutes as the case maybe brings everything to 15 minutes.
I ask, why would Disu bring on a defender for a striker playing a 5 man defensive formation in a home game against freaking Costa Rica?
Take your time and digest this.

Icon4s:
penalty to NPFL U17

maidaboi:
oga he miss some chances which means he should run out of man city and pep

Mickael2:


I actually thought you were trying to make sense but it seems like you are just joking.

Modric makes tough tackles? Maybe you should start watching Madrid matches more often. In fact, Iniesta makes more tough tackles than Modric, that should paint the picture for you.

In football, it is the job of the CMF to make himself available for a simple pass because everybody else on the upside of the pitch will be marked. That's why sometimes you will see Modric run all the way from wherever he is to the DMF position to take the ball straight from the casemiro, that's what we mean by making yourself available. But Onazi was more mobile when we lost the ball than when we were with the ball, that's not a proper CMF.

And I know that he was deployed as the CMF because of Ndidi's position relative to his own. Ndidi was making himself available for the two CBs but Onazi wasn't even there. I know the tough tackles that he was putting in impressed you, they impressed me too, however he failed as a CMF in that game. Everybody saw that

Please, the dynamics of the game changed after the Costa Ricans scored. At the 79th minute, we were to secure the win. At the 83rd minute we were going for a win. So your 15 minutes timetable is off the point.

TheSuperNerd:

Sir Forgiveness..... we are on the same page.

And yes I didn't even state that It was Kayode who got a pass from Ndidi (I think?) who beautifully sprung a pass into Nacho's path for Nacho to chase and eventually used his quick feet to draw the foul from the Senegalese gk....


This is part of why I said Kayode did great.... within the limited time he featured, I was very impressed with Kayode. He should be invited for the Cameron game. He has the ginger and energy to cause mayhem.



And yes oooo.... I saw the match but from different angles.... it was really hard getting to see the whole game shaa.

And Yes within the first 20-25 mins, Leon and Troost were so unsettled.... Iwobi was giving the ball away but also grew into the game with some flashes occasionally but eventually struggled to keep up with the physical pace and nature of the game.


Onazi was our biggest fighter alongside Ndidi in that tumultuous period and he did hold sway until his unfortunate injury.... (heard he is back though).

Onazi was not overran but he wasnt finding it easy...... He did his very best and fought like the seal that he is for us... but when Ogu entered the fray, Kouyate and Gueye and even Ndoye now had a 1.92m Man mountain to contend with alongside Ndidi (1.82m).. Onazi is only about 1.73m or so...... a workaholic but couldn't just match the aerial physical prowess of the Senegalese.... Ogu and Ndidi combined their build and heights to turn the tables on the Senegalese...


Omeruo and Echiejile.... you are absolutely right.... these two added nothing to the attack... they hardly ventured forward but did their defensive duties pretty well.

And yes the person you saw showing skilss and being audacious on the ball was Iheanacho.... he did flunk about two very good chances which didn't even hit the target and also wasted a few more good moves from Iwobi, Musa and Simon when those three did step up occasionally but we can take nothing from nacho... his arrogance and dare on the ball and his ability to mix it in with Koulibaly and co shows he has grown in his adaptability to the physical aspects of the game based on his slim build... it is a good thing he got the height too.... he is about 1.83m tall or so...


Nacho was one of the players who still tried to make things happen but he did blow a lot of chances.... quite unusual of him as he is a known clinical finisher ..... hopes he redeems himself for the team in that aspect.



Success was a Beast when he came on.... he outshined even Iheanacho himself.... only Ndidi did better for the whole team alongside John Ogu but Success was like a super force.... I pray he stays fit coz he is a sure weapon for our cameroun games.


And like I said, Kayode added verve and energy to that attack.... his pass to nacho was beautiful... Success also was very influential but that was when he moved to the wings. Initially, he joined Nacho upfront playing off him kinda... or just behind him before shortly switching to the right side of attack....


So Sir Forgiveness.... we are on the same page okay....


and loollll.... who wan "bring em down"?

Abeg.... my hands no follow for that one.... loolll


Make I go manhandle theGoodJoe small... abi na SharpJoe now....

More karate kicks loading .....

forgiveness:



See me see turobulu ooooooo.

You mean Modric doesn't tackle?

After Chelsea, my team in Spain is Real Madrid. So, I do see dem play regularly.

Abeg, who has seen Real Madrid play here and can confirm that Modric tackles wella?

Is Onazi the one that made Ahmed Musa to give wayward crosses?

Is Onazi.... Abeg, let me conclude that Onazi suppose to teach the players how to control and pass the ball.

SharpJoe:


Come on. Mickael2's point is crystal clear. He pointed out that Onazi's off the ball movement when we had the ball was poor which led to our team not having a fluid build up play. He also pointed out that this was what John Ogu did that got the team playing better which was noted by lots of pundits and followers.

He even went as far as pointing at Modric's style of play which paints a clear picture.

Mickael2 made a brilliant point to which we should note and we hope the technical crew points it out too.

goldfish80:

When Yobo entered the pitch at 79', he had between 12-15 minutes including additional time. This is simple plus and minus.
I ask again, why would the coach put on a defender for a striker, opting for a 5 man defence to secure a 1:0 lead against almighty Costa Rica?

Mickael2:


No, he can continue with his jokes sha, he doesn't just want to accept the fact that Onazi isn't a good CMF because I remember the formation he brought up some days ago had Onazi playing as his CMF, now he doesn't want to accept that he is wrong.

Mind if I ask if you are SirGoodJoe

Icon4s:
Come Bascovanveli, 56mins and ref has not blown for half time Whats happening? Or are we in 2nd half already. I didnt follow from d start.
