I'm not really at ease with them breathing down our backs but we do well under pressure though it would have been better to kill this thing now and use our remaining games for testing some players.

BascoVanVeli:


That is a theory not a fact. We all saw that Cameroon didn't start 2 of their impact players and introducing them played a role in them turning the tide. Also after losing 4-0 I would expect them to come out more intense than us at home. It is not fair to say stuff like that without proof to back it up.

Hahahahahah! Ajagun seems to be more of an ATM though he plays as a CMF.

The name on my mind is Raheem Lawal.

However, I remembered how Joel Obi made me to enter one of my neighbors house, in mind your business estate, to see him play on his debut after he pledged to play for Nigeria instead of Italy.

I will choose Joel Obi ahead of any player any time any day.

Honestly, he is got skills, swagger and an eyes for a true pass.

soetanoreoluwa:


And you sure you could get those player with your rigid actions?

Those players will not play in a park bus system. It will not work.

TheSuperNerd:
Hope with informed direction and patience then.... Don't just hope to high heavens... even Hope get level.... lol...

Can't someone bring your hopes down to a level of understanding again?

safarigirl:
I tell you. Some people are even here blaming one imaginary party that ONLY ANS reported.

Ungrateful lot the bunch of them. You want to collect six points from African Champions during World Cup Qualifiers, if that is not greed, I don't know is what is.

Show me another team in this qualifiers with a record as good as ours despite playing relatively weaker opposition, they can't, but they think they have the right to complain about this player and that player and who partied and who did not.

Nonsense!

TheSuperNerd:
I wanna see Pep win the EPL or Even FA Cup to assert himself as indeed one who has conquered in England. If not he remains trumped...

daveP:
chop knuckle. Rohr seems not to be able to do subs based m live play. i expected choking up of d wings, thereby forcing cmr to play central; their weak game.

TheGoodJoe:


No matter how you bring down my hopes, it will not reach parked bus level. I Yama.

TheGoodJoe:


We should play with more bravery. That is my point. I am glad we won but I said I hope we do not play this way again. I Wonder why people are getting worked up.

Can't someone hope again?

edi287:
Speaking of a Mikel replacement, I'm surprised no one is talking about Iwobi. Iwobi will be a super 10 in the future. As long as we have a great destroyer(Ndidi, Onazi) and an energetic CM that can build play, we should be good.
Mikel will no doubt be hard to replace sha. Good thing we'll have him around for say another 4-5 years.

TheSuperNerd:

Looollll.... I ain't aiming for park bus level.... I rather speak of "Patience with the team" level.... you saw our gameplay on Friday... did you love it or not? You saw the full potentials of how really good our team can play and dominate... didn't you? but it takes more games and cohesion and training for the team to gel to a more wicked level of dominance... that is my point... so patience My Good Sir... patience.

TheGoodJoe:


What of Shakespeare?

Icon4s:


More bravery? Are you telling me you don't understand how away games are in Africa?


O you think Cameroon will sit back and watch you embarrass them in front of their crowd?

safarigirl:
Una dey complain, the players dey sing, dey celebrate for Snapchat....

Mission Accomplished, that's all they know.

TheGoodJoe:


Remember, I even said on Friday that it was not my style. We showed more invention in that game. But, in this one, we descended to an all time low.

ykalhaji:


Madam what is a Nigerian if not greedy ? Sports is not for the meek, you see blood and you maul. We could have confirmed our Russia 2018 qualification tonight because I don't see Zambia winning a game in North Africa. Yes before friday's game we were hoping for 4 points and praying for at least 3 points, but after watching these 2 games against Cameroon, you will agree that the African Champions were champions by fluke.

Not withstanding based on our mediocre standards in Nigeria, the boys need to be praised for at least keeping the unbeaten record going. We most also remember that we want to be very high in the ranking in order to avoid certain countries in the draw.

It was very clear that the instruction was to park the bus and score and then counter, but in the second half our boys had run out of steam, midfield passes started becoming inaccurate, they started losing possessions and where getting to balls late, Why ??

That midfield is definitely not complete, with or without Mikel. Moses Simon abi na Simon Moses should be coming from the bench I am very sorry. Elderson Echiejile has to go, not even good enough for bench. Ndidi needs to step up more, stop deferring to Onazi and Mikel. He is the future.
Shehu, Ekong and Leon Were super solid. Victor Moses I repeat should remember his first priority na to supply the main attacker, after the first goal, he just got Ighala looking like a fool. We know he can score, even unborn babies know he can score, but as the workman horse of the team can he churn out assists on a regular basis like we need him to ? If he can do that then we will be super ok, because the tendency to always feed him the ball and him making his first choice to go for goal is causing other players to fall back and defer to him, which in turn causes a "ghost situation" in the attacking midfield like what happened today.

daveP:
My hapiness is our key figures, save Balogun, are now safe. zambia style of play is wing and aerial. they dont do well central or in counter. so knowing this, im safe to assume a good match, barring injuries. Glad talks about Mikel's replacement have resurfaced. enough of the Agu subbing. Mikel is diff from Mikel ah. Ramon Azeez & Aluko are needed.

AIG07:
another beautiful one over there. Cameroon ain't that strong in the middle. I think I pointed this out during the confed cup. But I was so amazed they won the central midfield battle.

Switching to a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 formation would have balance things up. But after the goal he chose 4-3-3 with tiring wide men(the two moses). It came to a time I didn't even see S.Moses on the pitch-I even taught he had been sub.

Eh wait was Aina on the bench? Cos me no see am.

But Shakespeare is not on same champagne level with Pep naa...

We all know Shakespeare's level.... I speak of Lord Pep... UCL winner on two occasions and the guy who tears the chequebooks anyhow while leaving out beautiful bright young talent....

Pep who won bundesliga three times in a row...

Who is Shakespeare to Pep? Abeg... leave Shakes... Na Pep we dey talk... let him conquer England and his legacy will be sealed forever.
