Well done to the Eagles. Unfortunately for us, the better team on day won but we leave with our heads held high. Few including yours truly gave you a chance before the competition. Disappointing end but there could only be a winner and today was not our day. We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and hopefully do a true analysis and build on from there. WCQ are around the corner, we do not have the luxury to mope. Congrats to CIV. As for the rest of Africa led by the Charlies, we go take our cooking and roasting like men. At the end of the day, it is football, there are bigger issues to get upset over.
God bless and keep Nigeria and make his face shine on her undeserving as she may be.

pressure. no creativity & our general level of technique has regressed - poor 1st touch all over. Passing is a joke. I now understand why i stopped following the SE for a long time. You end up depressed.
I have seen some very very bad Nigerian teams over the past years.
This was a great tournament with arguably average players.
They over achieved. Personally I think that was down to this coach.
He is marmite to some including myself but he grew on me. Props to him.

He appeared to be waiting for a rousing ovation when he brought the cup, but it never happened and he waited a while.

Yes boss. Him as well.
I can't understand what CE community finds in this very average player.
He might as well not have been on the pitch today.

Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-2) Ekong , Kessie, Haller 2H
Fair enough, but do you think if he had a chance in this game he would score it. Like be totally honest…He’s an enigma, a hard worker, but the fine points that a striker needs to have he severely lacks. He’s had poor to no training from youth level based on how he came up so I don’t blame him, but there was a period when he was at Lille where I thought he had added that aspect to his game on top of all his hard working off the ball ability. But in this tournament we ended up making the same excuses we made for Awoniyi in the last edition. Which should never be the case for an APOY. Honestly for all his graft in this kind of game we needed more skill, ability, positioning, forward play and cunning play. Which is not something you would get from Vic…Boniface injury robbed us of such a player…but it’s all good…tolahs wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 11:01 pmMessi didn't win with Argentina for a long time cos of how the team was set up; You forget how long the Drogba & Yaya generation took to win the AFCON.
Victor was doing too much work - as Ekoku said, if you keep launching balls to him, he'll get fatigued fast.
Go watch the tape of this game where we were back in our box permanently defending with 8-9 men - Victor was left alone with 3-4 defenders - our midfielders & wide forwards 40 metres away. No striker looks good in those conditions.

Ekong player of the tournament. What a boss!!
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-2) Ekong , Kessie, Haller FT
Forgive me for being the old man here but 40yrs ago , I was glued to my TV watching Nigeria take silver medal in the same location, and we scored first, but the result was a bigger hammering than this one
For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.

My observations are based on the entire tourney especially with the SE. Things like 1st touch, crossing etc - weren't thecchinukw wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 11:17 pmYou can't base your conclusion of the whole tournament on today's performance and results alone.tolahs wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2024 11:13 pmThe level of regression is disturbing.

weaknesses they've become. Well organised tourney,but our coach didn't trust his bench enough & ran Victor into the ground.
Tourneys are about taking advantage of opportunities - Jose Mourhinho's friend showed a lack of ambition in his gameplan.
Acceptable against S.Africa given they've about 8 players from the same club but today has been a nightmare.

Facts - i know nothing about this coach, does he have a history of winning trophies?

Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-2) Ekong , Kessie, Haller FT
we need a coach with a winning mentality -this man clearly does not have it !
