Mujtahida:

I've maintained that Ighalo played well only he wasn't clinical cos he wanted to do it fancifully rather than keep it simple like Iwobi. One thing worries me though: we don't score from outside the 18yard box. All our goals have come from within the box. Our rate of converting free kicks is zero, from corners just one. We need to improve on all these.

I have not watched Tega. I will watch out for him. If he is good enough and ready to play for us, then he deserves a spot. We need the very best Nigerian. Whether home grown or foreign.

Joebie:
No I don't think he wanted to do it fancifully. I think he was under pressure, and wanted a sure sight at goal. He was not alert to convert half chances. The one Simon played to him, he should have anticipated it to go that direction, when Simon raced to lay the pass. Clinical forwards would have sprinted fast to connect it. Mweene would have been left helpless. Another case in point was when the ball fell to his left leg. He tried to settle to take the shot with his right, and a Zambian defenders caught up with him. Then there was this half chance he missed in the first half. I think he was not as daring for goals as he was against Cameroon in Uyo. And I will attribute that to the pressure he had to score. Ighalo is a very fine forward. He showed it in the EPL. But he somehow bows out to pressure when lots of expectations are put on him. I think he needs a special psychologist to work with him.

TheGoodJoe:


My problem with Ighalo yesterday is why I will always choose Nacho over him in respect of selecting a striker. He is not fast enough and definitely not a clinical finisher.

Although our set up yesterday suited Ighalo but his finishing was a problem to the team.

With a large banner they pass round and uniformity of chants. tell me any player who wont get goose bumps with this.

forgiveness:


Hahahahahah! kasala go burst ooooooo.

soetanoreoluwa:


They will.. And at the end.. They will say Russian embassy didn't give them visa

Different stories

Mujtahida:

I agree especially to the psychologist. He dribbles wella.

soetanoreoluwa:
Balogun IG...
He sti can't believe it... No wonder he was nervous
And
He cant get over Nigeria jollof with his friend Ekong

AIG07:
we will get there with the right people @ the helms. Don't forget eagles are just winning Nigerians heart back. Look at the numbers of threads been created on just a match now. Before it will take a Miracle for match thread involving the SEs to make front page.

Mujtahida:

I dey feel you. It's like this Balogun na foodie ooo. No be suya be that?

Joebie:
Oh and I forgot to add, in one of our build up Ndidi was begging for the ball to be laid to him, but it was played to Simon. We still have those kind of chances to capitalize. We don forget say Ndidi sabi long range shot.
Still no dead ball specialist, talking direct freekicks. That's why I will always welcome the idea of new players, maybe they have what some of our players have and also have other strengths to add. Is Aluko good at freekicks?

Mujtahida:

I don't know. I am not sure. We don't have a morata like the good old days of the headmaster

Late drama in Cairo. Egypt now leading 2-1 from injury time penalty. A draw would have kept Uganda in with a shout and also given Ghana a strong reason to pursue their wrongful officiating claim

Uyo fans are the best.. Always supporting the team.

I remember, at some point, Lagos became very toxic for the super eagles. If we are playing badly, they will start booing the players.

Even with failure to qualify for the nations cup, the Uyo stadium is always full.

soetanoreoluwa:


Na suya... He can't sing all those j
Gyration songs.. And the only friend that understand him very well... I think is Ekong... Lol...

Mikel family...

Did you see kanu dancing with them?

soetanoreoluwa:



I'm serious... If you check those players that played U17 how many of them playing in top clubs Now...


Akinsola, oseni, Alfa, christatus, haruna, out of all only Ajiboye make it... After how many years 10years thank God is a goal keeper oor else...

forgiveness:


Uyo fans are boring. come to Lagos make you see 90 minutes of madness.

In short, the atmosphere will ginger the players to score and win games else dem own don finish.

Na pure water dem go take finish the players and coaches wey no wan win.

A draw for Egypt would have still knocked Ghana out of contention

Icon79:

#Kudos!
