Barryseal:''I don't believe that it changed the result but it helped us to win and to score the two goals.''-Rohr. Chukwueze's introduction disorganized their defence. Immediately Chukwueze came on he distracted them as they left both Musa and Ighalo free. Prior to his introduction they were seriously marking Ighalo and never gave Musa any space to wreck havoc. Ighalo was free,Musa was free also. Creative/technical wingers draw opponents to themselves thereby leaving their teammates free to score. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

forgiveness:Stop this thing na. He changed the dynamics of the game even though he had no hand in the two goals. He created two clear chances which were wasted. All of these unsettled the camerounian defense ,put them under pressure and stemmed the tide of their attacking forays. Simon Moses on the other hand wasn't just on the top of his game today. No need to press the point. E no go enter. 2 Likes |

Well, the AFCON has not produced exactly what I was expecting prior the tournament. The play has been slightly better overall but that's just about it. I expected better attacking play especially from the bigger boys but it's not turned out so. The numbers are still the same. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful. I think that improvement I can see on the horizon will come in the near future, three to four years down the line, with continuous work at the age grade level producing young footballers with a future in the game. Also, maybe soonest Africa begins to adopt the youth development system which is yet missing. In this near future, with increasing number of talents coming through, most of the current coaches will no longer be good enough for the squads at their disposal. They will gradually be fazed out naturally and only the ones who are worth their onion will survive. A quick recommendation for the African football administrators around the Continent. They have to start looking at investing in coaching too. The expatriates won't always be available and some are not even good enough. Those who are good enough and are available, might not take up the offer of coaching an African team for several reasons. This problem can be nipped in the bud early enough by aggressively investing in coaching. Invest in the retired professionals and interested young individuals. In this modern times, teams should not be struggling to string passes across the width of the pitch. That is something we shouldn't see anymore from any serious footballing nation in Africa. It's terrible. 2 Likes 1 Share |

EEGA:baba, we won them simply because we are better...that's all...the two goals they scored came in quick succession and we controlled much of the 1st half.. Second half we made changes after we saw that they don't really know how to play and we can even beat them despite being 1-2 down and we did beat them... Could have been 4 and a hatrick if ighalo had not shot straight at onana...onyekuru will score that goal, maybe osihmen too.. Just let a better coach handle this team, we have enough players already, pick the best and watch this team, this Era dominates the African continents back to back to back... 1 Like 1 Share |

joseph1013:I clearly remember that SE vs Denmark game. It was a shock defeat . next day in school the word was that the match would be replayed cos Sand was found to have taken drugs. In our disillusionment we believed it. Funny enough during WCQ for 2006 WC I was already in the University. Angola beat us to the qualifiers. Next thing a guy named Ola a year my senior and from my faculty who was an avid football fan came with the gist that CAF was going to substitute Angola with Nigeria. Shockingly- in retrospect- we believed him. Hope ,disappointment can make one believe anything no matter how incredible |

I will like Rohr to be retained as a Team Manager, and a Technical Adviser is hired to complement his Work. Rohr brings stability and unity to the Squad. He's well respected by the Lads on and off Field. Also he's not sitting idle off FIFA Windows, rather following up the progress and conditions of the Lads at their respective Clubs. However, a big Concern is his tactical prowess, and conservative Nature of handling the Squad. He's bringing balance to the Squad in terms of man-management but so wack tactically. We need a reborn of Westerhof and Jo Combo to drive the Team forward. NFF should hire a tactically sound Adviser for the Team as an Assistant to Rohr. Sanusi has nothing to offer tactically, same as Imama. I don't know much about Finidi's coaching Skills, but I believe he's making good progress in Spain with Technical knowledge of the Game. If NFF can't afford another foreigner as a technical Adviser, then they should draft in Finidi George into the Fold. |

timay: Where else could the ball had gone? Do u think the header was a mistake? So in your football the defender should not anticipate where the ball is going to end up from a header? Why then did the striker do so? This is why it is called the second ball you have to be alert as a defender. 2 Likes |

We are so used to comparing players which is not healthy. Both Samu and Simon contributed their quota simple. Just as I had suggested, I would not have started Samu knowing fully well it would be my joker. I would have removed Musa and brought in Henry though |

EEGA:what do you mean by the bolded? For instance can we say the same for chukwueze whose defensive contribution is poor? I mean if Simon attacked less and defended more, yet it is a poor game, chukwueze also attacked more nd defended poorly, why is it great ![]() Both had their purpose their strong points, it was very evident in the match that chukwueze was needed, there's not much need for the defensive duties of Simon that awaziem cannot handle on his own... we needed someone that could put the fear of the Lord on the cameroonian defender, as offensively poor as Simon was, he still manages some take ons, then and there I knew if we bring chukwueze in the game, then we would definitely score.... I'm not insterested in the debate of weather he contributed to the goals or not, he performed well, moses also, I was mad at iwobi in the first half, but was more madder with Aina, infact I rate him very low for yesterday matche, all the boys played well...well akpeyi is akpeyi, neither well nor bad, just there...just hoping none of the balls would get him unaware ( I'm still looking at the first goal suspiciously ![]() 1 Like |

Starboytwo: As a winger , nobody will question your defending deficiency but question your attacking prowess, whether it is good enough or not. That is the point of complain concerning Simon. He offers very little offensively, which is his primary duty. No club in the world will sign a winger because he can defend, but primarily because if his offensive prowess and how good he can wreck havock to the opponents defense. Like the guy earlier said, if we are not playing a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2, he shouldn't be starting, cos his club has taken away the attacking instinct of Simon we used to know. He plays more or less like a full back now 3 Likes |

So why are some people expecting us to use fast players against South Africa when we know they are the king of fast play/counter account in this tourney? They play a lot of counter-attacking football, they pass a lot too and knows how to locate each other. They make few passing mistakes if anyone notice. so I think a 4:4:2 should be used against them. We also need ball holders (Which I doubt we have), so if we can't have a ball holder, can we as well let them have most of the ball so as to stop them from their counter-attacking tactic? You only use counter if you have less of the ball. Just saying and I am opened to further disecting of these points. elyte89: |

kellycute: I understand your short comings regarding analyzing the technical aspects of football but I can tell you for free, Chukwueze didn't change anything about the game yesterday. The match was 50-50, a very balanced game. There was never a time we totally dominated the game,even when we were in search of the equalizer. Not even Chukwueze's intro made us dominate. The quick fire goals were not as a result of dominance but specific errors by the Camerounians. Instead of praising Ighalo for coming to the party you're hailing Chukwueze for creating chances which weren't converted. Can a non converted chance change the result of a game? He'll no! Now get lost. 6 Likes |
