By the way, I think Camerounians bullied our players with strength for the most part of the game.

they didn't bully anything....infact I was surprised they were so ordinary....if them come with bully mentality I'm afraid they met the wrong team....

People tend to think that Nigeria is a physical side, even commentators say it

Nigeria is a technical side, apart from Ighalo nobody in our team would hold their own in a fight

Rohr should start Simeon against South Africa. Simeon is gonna score bookmark this.

Yes..... It was.

I copied this response from a thread when the author of this post below responded to someone who said Chukwueze had no impact in the game, that it was just a coincidence that we scored after coming in.
The post goes thus;

"Coincidence? You know nothing about football.
Georges Makanjes was on a yellow card. When Chukwueze was introduced, it caused real concern on Seedorf's face. Watch the clip again and see how he went to talk to Kluivert about it on the bench. As a result of that substitution, see what happened:
a) Makanjes was substituted because Seedorf knew the chances of him being turned by Chukwueze was high. Makanjes would have had to tackle and he most likely would have been sent off. He was subbed for Aguissi who was a less effective marker.
b) Knowing that Aguissi was going to have problems marking a quicker, faster and more masterful dribbler in Chukwueze, an extra player was drafted to help Aguissi mark Chukwueze, unlike having just one defender in Makanjes who clearly marked off Moses Simon. Deploying an extra defender meant a distortion of the original defensive formation of Cameroon and this is what opened the spaces for Musa, Iwobi and Ighalo to start incursions from the middle. Led to our 3rd goal.
Seedorf showed clearly that he is still an apprentice coach. Gernot Rohr outsmarted him tactically." [/b]

It's not only today.Even against Guinea he was poor in attack bar his free-kick and his defensive contribution.

Simon is a WB, suitable for 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 not 4-2-3-1.

Moses Simon is a winger and not a wing back ,so because he played as wing back in levante this season you don turn am to wing back abi ?

Moses Simon will start next game ,I don't know why that's a problem to most of you guys

He was poor in attack ,but shebi we win guinea ?

On YouTube someone said that Egyptians cannot afford to go to the games. If that's true the stadia are likely empty because tickets are too expensive.

The cheapest ticket is 150 EGP which is ~N3,200 or CFA5,200

Were they planning to raise money to build more pyramid in Giza!!

kellycute:
so u turned a blind eye to his 3 clear cut Chances he created?. One to Musa and two to ighalo?. Please semid, add my guy for the list biko

The guy no lie ,not that chuks did badly ,abi no be the same match wey I watch ?

Most people here don't want to give credit to ighalo ,person score 2 goals na the one wey no score anything dem dey praise

Smh

Sportilitica:
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

No mind all of them ,they have their favorites in this thread and they try to play down the impact of others players ,that's one thing I don't like

Barryseal:


Are you not the crack head amoeba who made a mess of himself with the shameless cries, gnashing of teeth and even wishing the team ill luck because Iheanacho was dropped?
You lowered the bar as regards your intelligence on that ill fated day. A complete disgrace of a man.
You have no right to talk about Super Eagles or football after stripping yourself naked the other day.

shut up olodo. Im a nacho fan and I wasn't happy with the fact that rohr dropped him, so how does that have anything to do with intelligence mumu? So chukwueze never made any impact in the game abi? U don't know football. Ozuo!!

This is what happened when Chukwueze came in

Georges Makanjes was on a yellow card. When Chukwueze was introduced, it caused real concern on Seedorf's face. Watch the clip again and see how he went to talk to Kluivert about it on the bench. As a result of that substitution, see what happened:
a) Makanjes was substituted because Seedorf knew the chances of him being turned by Chukwueze was high. Makanjes would have had to tackle and he most likely would have been sent off. He was subbed for Aguissi who was a less effective marker.
b) Knowing that Aguissi was going to have problems marking a quicker, faster and more masterful dribbler in Chukwueze, an extra player was drafted to help Aguissi mark Chukwueze, unlike having just one defender in Makanjes who clearly marked off Moses Simon. Deploying an extra defender meant a distortion of the original defensive formation of Cameroon and this is what opened the spaces for Musa, Iwobi and Ighalo to start incursions from the middle. Led to our 3rd goal.
Seedorf showed clearly that he is still an apprentice coach. Gernot Rohr outsmarted him tactically.

So yes, chuks was definitely the game changer. Before his introduction, we had little or no space for ighalo, Iwobi and Musa to operate

Look at our equalising goal. The two guys were definitely on to Chukwueze, they were expecting Awaziem to pass to him so that he can do his trademark dribbles, unfortunately, they left an acre of space for Awaziem to patiently doing a beautiful cross into the box for Musa and Ighalo which led to our 2nd goal.

Oasis007:
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.

have you seen Finidi coach before? Una just like to dey talk

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

Jesus navas says hello

All wingers and their style of play okay

Victor moses made conte team because he can defend

If you are a winger you cannot score much and assist much then you should learn how to defend unless you have no purpose in the team

Chuks didn't do bad but you guys should cool down as I also watch the game

Almost all of you are trying to paint Moses Simon bad or turn blind to ighalo performance

Moses Simon will start next game and chuks will continue as super sub

Understanding before quoting is becoming rocket science on this Thread. Some of you would only rush-read and jump into conclusion straightaway. Pin point in the Post you quoted where I claimed to have seen his coaching Skills?!

Didn't I give a reason for his Suggestion?! Kindly re-read it again, edit your Response, be more matured and Understanding.

And where is Jesus navas in Man City and Moses in Chelsea after a coach that doesn't need a wing back but a proper winger came into the picture in those teams, they became relegated to the bench.

I'm not saying Simon defensive ability is not needed in the team, but whenever we are not playing a formation that requires the service of a wingback, it will be counter productive to start him, cos the guy has lost his offensive prowess the we used to know in for, during the world cup qualifiers when Victor Moses and Simon Moses were on the wings wrecking havock.

Then his final balls and crosses were exquisite, but now, the guy is a completely different person

I as a person acknowledge the contributions of Simon and Ighalo in the game. But some people just came out of nowhere to start saying Chukwueze had no impact in the game, that our scoring and winning was just a coincidence , that happened when he came in. We just wanted the notion.

Barryseal:


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. The quick fire goals were not really as a result of dominance but specif errors 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.

God bless you

I tought I was the only one thinking so

They hardly praise ighalo ,so this is their scope

I wonder why some people can't just drop sentiment and be sincere

I am not saying chuks did badly but common not spectacular as many guys put it here

So you expect pep to keep on playing a 32 year old navas when he arrived abi ?

Navas was not even regular in pellegrini last season and you want pep to keep on playing him

Moses is not a better winger than Pedro or Willian so wing back or no wing back those ones go start ahead of am

But we have never lost with Simon playing in the 4-3-3 so there is nothing to be worried of

andrew444:


Now you are talking

His contributions were majorly an indirect one, not a direct contributions like goals or assist.
Indirect in the sense that he opened up space for others to do the damage

Even though I felt He could have had an assist yesterday but, Ighalo na NEPA , always on and off with goal scoring chances

The game yesterday was all about Ighalo's clinical finishing, but instead we have Chukwueze to thank.
If Osimhen or Iheanacho had performed like Ighalo, do you honestly think any of them would have credited Chukwueze?
Well, I don't think so. I could be wrong of course.

So why did u bring up their names

Your response already confirmed that , a winger is more useful as an offensive orchestrator, rather than for his defensive abilities, let the wingers leave defending to the defenders

andrew444:

A guy scored 2 goals and assisted one to knock out the current holders of the cup, but it is Chukwueze who deserves the accolades for creating 3 non converted chances. I wonder how missed chances impacts on the result of a football match.
