Troost has cut out on a mistakes he used to make like losing concentration or panicking leading to errors.
I guess the development comes with experience and I wonder how much the format employed by Peseiro helped Ekong’s game
I am happy

Troost is by far the Best Foreign Based NIgerian that has ever played for Nigeria.

True! But he gave Haller too much space for the second goal,watch how Osimhen was being man marked.

LOL. He was ALL OVER Heller. Adingra played a perfect ball and Heller reacted superbly. Nothing Ekong could do.

Both Aina and Ajayi couldn’t cut out the cross and there was nothing Ekong could do

Goal was scored simply because Onyeka didnt rush there to babysit them as usual

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

I didn’t even want to waste time arguing with folks who don’t understand the game, there’s a reason why preventing the cross is so important, the striker has the advantage if you keep letting good crosses come in, and they might nick one. Talking about Osimhen being man marked yet as crosses came in he kept winning headers and getting chances because that’s what strikers are paid to do, attack crosses and it is very hard to defend 100% esp when the passer has all day to pick their head up and put the ball in a favorable position for the striker to reach it before anyone else. Issue is Aina kept giving Adingra the outside and he kept skinning him over and over again and putting in dangerous crosses, eventually you will concede.

That Haller goal wasn't Ekong's fault. It was a quick flick from him that came from an Adringa pass that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Osimhen was double- teamed all game.

HAVING WATCHED THE MATCH...


...I agree totally. Ekong was going for the ball and was almost there before Haller quickly cut in stretching his leg to reach the ball. Sometimes, you do everything right but it ends up bad.

The goal was due to Aina allowing Adingra to drink gari with him

EVERY DEFENDER GETS BEATEN OCCASIONALLY


Before then, Aina with the help of his best friends, had done a good job against a skillful CIV winger. And if Ekong had succeeded, no one would remember that play.
