Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
Iwobi is really balling. His final balls going forward are very incisive. I love it!!

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
This game is ours for the taking for one simple reason. The Angolans have no pace throughout their team. Every rush for the ball, we get there first. We made that count for the goal and need to punish them further in the 2nd half.
ZAIDU SANUSSI has been extremely poor. Please can we have a better left side midfielder. Not sure what has happened to him, but has stunk our team out throughout this tournament.

The pitch and Sanusi are killing us….we have to be careful that we do not just sit back and defend. This Angolan team has a goal or 2 in them….
We need to counter and get a couple more goals to be safe….
Iwobi has been excellent in the middle…he is keeping Yusuf off the team - the guy is super disciplined….

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
A slightly cagey game, with Nigeria well ahead on points...
The SE remain quite balanced. Orienting the block in the direction of the center of MF and allowing the fullbacks deal with the Angolan wingers 1v1. Real test of this is on the left side with Zaidu needing to be on his toes and yet offering an outlet for attacks.
He's been quite good, save for his deliveries...
Iwobi in MF is the superior player across the entire pitch...He needs to find Victor on one of the thru balls...
We've played well but need to control the game some more...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Chief, he is just saying our boys are playing well defensively. Yes, the goalkeeper is solid.

If there ever was a time for Vic to get a goal it would be early in the second half to book our place in the final four.
He is due one please

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
The centre backs of Angola are scared stiff of Victor Osimhen.
They are also very slow.
Once Angola push up to attack, we can punish them on the counter.
We have the pace and they don't.
Zaidu Sanussi should not be in this team.

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
With the exception of all the ree kicks and corner kicks we are giving up, I like what I see with our defense. Angola is going to come out with all guns blazing in the second half and my hope is we catch them on a few counter attacks.

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
That play was offside. If the goal had gone in, it would have been disallowed.

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
Before the match, Angola's coach said they know our weaknesses. I am sure he was speaking about Zaidu, because most of their attacks has come from that side -- the blonde head guy - while their best player, Dala on the left has been relatively quiet.

If the score remains the same, Coachie should consider bringing on Ken Omeruo earlier than usual (around the 65 min mark) for Zaidu and move Bassey to the left wing back for better delivery on counters.
Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
Lookman has been such a revelation.
To think that this squad could’ve actually
had Saka and Eze running the wings in addition.
Thank God they snagged Ademola!

It would have been dicey on VAR because of Troost-Ekong's trailing leg.
Nwabali was amazing there.

So far so good. The SuperEagles need to remain vigilant on defense; don’t allow those wide players to get by their man

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (0-0)
The pass was a tad short, which was why the defender had a shot at getting it. He lunged, but missed, or Simon got past him.fabio wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:43 pmPeople are forgetting Zaidu release the ball for Simon Moses, which led to the goal.

He is a decent defender, but not good going forward, as such cannot be a wing back or wing forward.
Bruno may be better at this stage. Tyronne and Jamilu Collins should have been the extra men for this squad if we want to keep using this formation going forward. 6 wingbacks/wingforwards/full backs (whatever you choose to call them)
These guys are going to make the fans turn on Zaidu, & it will be unfair.
He does not fit this system.
He is putting in an effort, and the Coach probably wants to defend from the front, so he may still be his first choice. However, he seems limited offensively, compared to a Collins, Aina, Tyronne, and even the little I've seen of Bruno.

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
Funny thing is Zaidu is actually playing better in this game than he did against Cameroon, it’s his final ball/decision making that is just baffling for a professional player…It’s no wonder he doesn’t attack much when I watch him for Porto, they know he suck at the most important moment…

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman HT
Iwobi should be looking to play through balls to Osimhen from the middle. He is very good at those.
Wha choo looking at?!
