Nigeria v Libya (CHAN)

[Mr Shows]

Few chances on goal for Nigeria. Teams cancelling each other out.

Libya well drilled in defence and m/f.

Oga Shows, thanks for the thread

Is this game on TV anywhere?

[Mr Shows]

40mins on the clock. We are just a bit short of ideas and cohesion in the final third. But our backline are holding the Libya strikers at bay.

[Mr Shows]

Both sides quite physical. Libya are really working the spaces and not leaving much room for our wingers or strikers. The game is in need of a goal. both teams playing within themselves.

[chendosplastic]

Too many inaccurate passes in the last third.

[Mr Shows]

Ezenwa sweeping well. Faleye almost latched on to a route one shot..

[Mr Shows]

Good move down the left but Eze clears the danger. Half time whistle

0-0, end of first half.

[pajimoh]

do we have anyone that can score goals?

[Mr Shows]

Ezenwa wasn't really tested in the first half. Chances for both sides were few and far between. The biggest challenge we seem to have is breaking down Libya's back four. They seem pretty organised. Up front they are a bit mobile but not threatening.

Our final ball always seems to be a bit poor and the runs by the strikers not well timed.

This team can hardly score a goal and to think that foolish coach still put the useless Okpotu in shows how clueless he is.

[Robotnik]

Keshi's CHAN team started slow, but improved as the tournament went by.
Let's hope this team can improve

Okputu looks a bit burly and is putting himself about a bit doesn't seem to have the sharpness or accuracy to create anything for himself. Faleye, had to have his boots changed (kept slipping), hopefully for scoring ones.

[Odas]

Any link(s)?

To be honest my main interest in the game is to see if Ezenwa has ironed out his flaws. He looks quite assured in goal but hasn't really been tested.

Was also keen to see if there are any stand out players, who might be knocking on Rohr's door in March. IMHO, none.

The truth is this team lack quality. The Aremu guy that left for Ghana could have help them in the middle. But seriously do not expect anything from them.

[Mr Shows]

Nigeria get the 2nd half underway..

[Mr Shows]

One again long ball into the 3rd half doesn't connect. Nigeria throw but Libya mop up.

[Mr Shows]

Rabiu needs to step up and start pulling strings in m/f. He has been non existent .
