Before the 2000 nations cup, Cameroon beat us at home in Nigeria 1995 under 20 AFCON Semi final and won the tournament. Back to back they beat us at home. Pure heartbreak. Marco 1988 final. 4 Likes |

austenite: Which composure? ![]() After we conceded the second goal, the rhythm of the game changed to our own advantage. It continued in the second half even long before Chukwueze came on but we were not clinical in front of goal. The rhythm was still the same after he came in until Awaziem gave the same pass he gave Mikel against Burundi to Musa which led to the equaliser. After that goal, we changed tactics to counterattack. All our players moved into their half though we still pressed up front when the ball is with the defenders. The third goal was as the result of the pressure we mounted on the defence. Etebo stole the ball and Ndidi (if am correct) quickly found Ighalo who used his individual skills to pass the ball to Iwobi. From that moment, we stopped pressing and concentrated on counterattack. That was what led to another rhythm of counterattacks. You should go and watch the match again. I have already done that. 2 Likes |

forgiveness:You're so on point. Watching a game under pressure and re watching at later time is not the same. The game didn't change as a result of Chukwueze's influence on the right side of the pitch. If anything else, it was Musa's left side that we looked threatening, sometimes I wish Musa was a bit selfish and quit trying to cut back at all times. On two occasions, he tried to cut back instead of going solo, twice those cut backs were cut off.. 3 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: We created chances before Chukwueze came on but were not clinical in front of goal. We dominated the mildfield in the second half and created chances from the mildfield even before Chukwueze came on. Cameroon needed to bring in DMF to shield the defence because it was exposed long before Chukwueze came on. Chukwueze only touched the ball twice before the goals were scored. In fact, Chukwueze only didn't create space for Awaziem to cross the ball because Cameroon parked the bus and all Nigerian players were in the box to receive a cross from whosever could. Fortunately, Omeruo passed the ball to Awaziem and he gave the same pass I saw him gave Mikel. That was all. Chances were created before he came on. The fantastic things he did was after we scored the two goals. |

Rohr said it helped the team to win and get the two goals. You and forgiveness are trying so hard to discredit that young man's impact but no wahala. Even Rohr who tried to be diplomatic with the truth was quoted as saying, "... It helped us to win and to score the two goals." That alone confirms Chuks' impact. Rohr himself knows the truth. On why he started Moses Simon... Of cos, "defensive" is the only reason. I have analysed Simon's strengths over Chuks but it does not Trump the importance of Chukwuez's attacking brilliance right now. We are at a stage where wicked attacking brilliance and unpredictability will get you wins out of tough situations and not still focused on workrate dedicated to more defending instead of more attacking. Starting Simon looked good for a time but he also didn't track back when Awaziem faced the pace of Bassogog for that Cameroun equaliser. You will excuse Simon on that abi but have a go at Chuks for not tracking back on one occasion too. That is funny. Anyway, for that goal... I don't blame Simon. I blame Awaziem but just pointing out that Simon was no where to be found too in that moment. The truth is that starting Simon vs Guinea was brilliant but vs Cameroun... It backfired.... It failed as we fell behind and we needed goals man... Goals... And Simon was not the answer. We cannot keep sacrificing our attacking prowess on the mediocre altar of defending and more defending.

edi287: The introduction of Anguissa was long expected if you view it from the Cameroonian point of view because Nigeria dominated the mildfield and the defence was exposed. He just did the right thing but luck smiled on us when Awaziem's cross found Musa who chested the ball for Ighalo to score. Rohr doesn't seem to trust Onyekuru's defending ability else he would had brought him on for Musa. |

TheSuperNerd: Please, watch the match again. All Nigerian's players were in the half of the Camerounians and about 5 or 6 players were in the box to receive a cross. That was part of Rohr's tactics not the movement of Chukwueze. |

How many did we create before Chuks' intro and how many were created after his introduction? Stop this path you are taking to make Chuks look bad becos you just favor Simon more. It is not fair at all. I have explained the tactical happenings behind Chuks' intro and what it led to even before he saw even more of the ball. That lad alone created space on the right of our attack by his off-the ball movements.... How is that hard to understand? In 30 mins he gave the highest number of key passes and created the most chances all game not adding those created by others after his intro and you claim we created more before he came in. Bia Egbon... Just drop this talk. Your point is aimed at justifying Simon starting over Chuks. Please this team needs to go further in this competition and even possibly win it. We cannot do that by always defending and defending from the flanks. So if you find a better and faster way of achieving a task, you will ignore it because you just prefer the old time-draining way? Is that it? forgiveness: 10 Likes 2 Shares |
